Preface
Flash flood management is very important in the Hindu Kush-Himalayas as flash floods are one of the most
damaging water induced hazards in the region. Flash flood modelling is a useful tool for the management
of this risk. This manual was prepared in order to provide materials for the trainees of the 1-10 August 2007
training on flash flood risk management to help them identify the various features and capabilities of two
software, namely, HEC-GeoHMS Version 1.1 and HEC HMS Version 3.1.0 for hydrological modelling of a
pilot watershed.
Reference data from the Jhikhu Khola watershed in Nepal, collected by the People and Resources Dynamics
Project, Natural Resources Management Programme, ICIMOD, was used to prepare this training manual.
This manual was prepared by Geographic Information System and Integrated Development Center (GISIDC), Nepal under the guidance of Dr. Arun B. Shrestha, Water, Hazard and Environmental Management
(WHEM) Programme, ICIMOD.
