Flood Hazard Mapping
Wnyway specializing in comprehensive flood analysis and management solutions. With a commitment to innovation and excellence, we offer state-of-the-art services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our expertise extends to both 1D and 2D flood analysis, as well as the integration of hybrid flood analysis methodologies using HEC-RAS (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System). Additionally, we utilize HEC-HMS (Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System) for catchment delineation, ensuring accurate and efficient assessment of water resources.
1D and 2D Flood Mapping
WNYWAY employs advanced 1D flood analysis techniques to simulate the flow of water through river channels and hydraulic structures. By utilizing HEC-RAS, we model one-dimensional flow, considering factors such as channel geometry, roughness coefficients, and boundary conditions. This approach allows us to assess water levels, velocities, and inundation extents with precision, enabling informed decision-making for flood risk management and mitigation strategies WNYWAY offers cutting-edge 2D flood analysis capabilities, providing a more detailed understanding of flood dynamics across varied terrain.
Coupled (1D & 2D) Flood Analysis
Recognizing the advantages of both 1D and 2D methodologies, WNYWAY implements hybrid flood analysis techniques, seamlessly integrating the strengths of each approach. By combining HEC-RAS 1D and 2D models, we achieve a comprehensive understanding of flood phenomena, balancing computational efficiency with detailed hydraulic representation. This hybrid approach enhances accuracy and flexibility, particularly in scenarios with complex flow conditions or evolving flood dynamics.
Catchment Delineation and Watershed Analysis
Catchment delineation and hydrologic modeling, WNYWAY relies on HEC-HMS, a powerful software tool for watershed analysis. Leveraging HEC-HMS, we accurately define catchment boundaries, assess rainfall-runoff processes, and quantify hydrologic parameters essential for flood forecasting and management. Our expertise in HEC-HMS facilitates precise characterization of hydrological responses, enhancing the reliability of flood risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
