Training Course at College of Engineering on Using of HEC-HMS Model to Estimate Sediment Volume in Rainwater Harvesting Reservoirs
Department of Dams and Water Resources Engineering at College of Engineering organized a training course entitled “Using of HEC-HMS Model to Estimate Sediment Volume in Rainwater Harvesting Reservoirs” on Monday, June 16, 2025. The course lasted for five days from its scheduled starting date.
The course was delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. Yousif Hashem Al-Uqaili, Assistant Professor Dr. Saleh Mohammed Saleh Zakaria, Assistant Lecturer Ali Ahmed Abdulhadi, Assistant Lecturer Abdulghani Khalaf Mohammed, and Assistant Lecturer Omar Kanaan Taha. They presented a series of lectures aimed at enhancing knowledge and competence in the use of engineering software in the field of water resources.
The course covered an overview of the HEC-HMS program, building a preliminary model, as well as applying and running the model. It also included the analysis of rainfall-runoff simulation results and sedimentation in the rainwater harvesting reservoir, estimation of sediment quantities and types, in addition to a general introduction to hydrological modeling. A final test was administered to the participants at the end of the course.
