Bear Creek, Indiana, USA HEC-RAS

This resource contains shapefiles (river, cross section, bounding polygon and more) for Bear Creek, Indiana, USA which is to serve as the sample project for the Urban Flooding Open Knowledge Network (UFOKN) informational infrastructure. The goal of UFOKN is to create model is intended for flooding forecast with the considerationg of urban structures.

The HEC-RAS project for Bear Creek was downloaded from the Indiana Hydrology and Hydraulics Model Library (Indiana Department of Natural Resources https://dnrmaps.dnr.in.gov/appsphp/model/index.php). This HEC-RAS project serves as the starting point for creating outputs. These shapefile ouputs were produced three different ways: generated outputs from AutoRAS1D a Python script, exported as shapefiles directly from the downloaded HEC-RAS within GeoRAS Mapper viewer, and outputs from ArcHydro Tools within ESRI ArcGIS Pro. These outputs are to be considered as inputs to the UFOKN model.
