RiverCAD reduces the time for computing floodplain encroachment stations?typically an extensive time-consuming process?to just minutes. The modeler can quickly iterate encroachment station locations while simultaneously reviewing the incremental water surface rise, floodway top width, and flow velocities at each river cross section and on the topo map; to provide the best land development solution for the client. RiverCAD allows the modeler to maximize recovery of land for development?gaining significant acreage for their clients in just minutes of work. Once the final floodway locations have been determined, the required HEC-RAS model files can be instantly exported for FEMA submittal along with the completed AutoCAD drawing.
