WHY Q-RAS?WHY DEVELOP E TOOL TO PREPARE HEC-RAS GEOMETRY
RAS is a �oods numerical model where the aim is to providean inundation maps starting from real data. A strongcorrelation between GIS and RAS exist
The common RAS user is almost novice of GIS (usually anhydraulic engineer)
The common RAS user use Win
Geometry data preparation in RAS is really time-consumingspecially when starting from real data | HEC-RASpreprocessing

OUR SITUATION
We often have to spend time preparing geometry to runhydraulic models.
the ratio is 60% in time preparing geometry 40% in runsimulation
Thanks to the high resolution DEM (LiDAR) geometry qualitycan improve considerably
To prepare geometry a mix of Pro�le tools have to be applied

Q-RAS is note the only plugin that link QGIS and RAS. Fewdays after Q-RAS release riverGIS have been published. Thisplugin works as RAS preprocessor creating 2D geometry.RAS 2D is still in beta. It's not a real 2D model but ti ispromising �> riverGIS have a future
