An area property coverage can also be used to map materials (Manning's roughness coefficients) to the cross section based on some type of aerial distinction (land use or soils) that may be available.

The purpose of the River Module (also referred to as the 1D Module) is to provide tools to perform one dimensional (Step Backwater) hydraulic modeling within SMS. The module include tools to process digital terrain (scattered datasets) and map data (coverages) to build the basic geometry necessary for a 1D Hydraulic Model. Much of the information for developing models with these tools is described in the information on River Coverages in the Map module.
The 1D River Hydraulic tools are used to create, edit and apply networks of river reaches and cross sections. The created networks must be associated with a specific 1D model (currently the only major model supported is HEC-RAS. The module includes tools for visualizing results computed for cross sections and reaches.
The general process for developing a model consists of the following steps:
- Preparing a background digital terrain model that represents the river channel bathymetry and surrounding floodplain with enough detail to substantiate the modeling objectives.
- Developing a 1D-Hydraulic Centerline coverage including the centerline and optional bank arcs.
- Creating the cross section arcs at important/required locations along the section of river being modeled.
- An Area Property coverage can be used to map roughness values to line properties on the cross sections
- Extracting cross sections from the TIN and establish the 1D Model
- Export the GIS data and finish defining HEC-RAS (or other models).
Alternatively, It is possible to establish the hydraulic model without extracting cross section information from a TIN. Cross sections which have already been surveyed can be assigning to an arc. This, along with geo-referencing the data is done using the cross section editor from the River Tools menu in the Map module.
The heart of the 1D River Hydraulic Module is a database of cross sections. A set of tools called the Cross Section Database Manager allows editing and managing the cross sections. All cross sections referenced from the 1D River Hydraulic Module or the Map Module must be part of this database. Cross sections may be added to the database by importing data from an external source, hand editing in the Cross Section Database Manager, or extraction from topographic data in the Map Module.
River networks are displayed as a schematic of reaches and cross sections. Networks may be georeferenced or purely symbolic. Each cross section is represented by a cross section icon displayed at the location of the cross section if the section is georeferenced, and reach icons, which are displayed on top of the first cross section in each reach. The icons can be moved according by selecting the icon and dragging it to the desired location.
The cross section attributes can be changed by using the Select Cross Section tool. Double-clicking on the desired cross section opens the River Cross Section Atts dialog which can be edited similar to the Map Module. The only difference is that the reach the cross section is attached to cannot be changed. Likewise the reach attributes can also be changed within the 1D River Hydraulic module.
RivHyd Post-Processing
After a simulation has been successfully run the solution file contains data at the cross sections. This data normally includes velocity and water surface elevation. Depending on the analysis program used, other data may also be available. The solution data may vary across the cross section. These solution files may be read into SMS by using File | Open.
Datasets
Data read in from a solution file and associated with the 1D Hydraulic Module are stored as datasets with values at each cross section. In some cases, a cross section may have multiple values such as varied velocities in overbank and channel regions. These datasets can be managed through the Project Explorer.
Solution data at various cross section and reach points for the active dataset may be exported to a text file by selecting Data | Export Solution Data. This will bring up the River Hydraulic Solution Export dialog box.
2D Plots
In order to see the model results, 2D plots must be generated in a plot window. (Future releases of SMS will support the mapping of 1D results onto a Triangulated Irregular Network representing the 1D simulation). The two types of plots that can be created are:
- Cross section plots which show model results for one or more cross sections.
- Profile plots which displays model results along a reach. Values for the profile plot are the minimum, average, and/or maximum of the results of individual cross sections along the reach.
Both plots are created through the Plot Wizard.
RivHyd Data Export
The time steps to export are chosen in the left side of the dialog. Generally the original point locations for the cross sections and reaches is sufficient, but if more dense information is desired the spacing can be set using the controls on the right side of the dialog. The data will be linearly interpolated along the cross section or reach between data points. The file name can be chosen at the bottom of the dialog. In order to read the data into SMS as a scatter point file, the extension should be *.pts.
