The District has developed software to assist the engineering community perform tasks using standard methods approved by the District. New software will be added as it becomes available.

Pima County Developed Software

  • PC-HYDRO Version 5.x - Pima County method for hydrology modeling.
  • Base Flood Elevation Calculation Spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel format, right-click and choose "Save as" option to download) - Use this spreadsheet to calculate the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) and Regulatory Flood Elevation (RFE).  Please see Technical Procedure 101 for more information about calculating BFE.
  • Maximum Anticipated Scour Depth Calculation Spreadsheet (Microsoft Excel format, right-click and choose "Save as" option to download) - NOTE: This spreadsheet was revised in March 2011. A spreadsheet for calculating maximum anticipated scour depth for simple curved adn straight reaches of non-regional sand bed conveyances with optional local scour at abutments and bridge piers, without local scour at drops or long term degradation.
  • The District has developed the following spreadsheets to assist in model parameterization of HEC-HMS models. The files are in Microsoft Excel format, right-click and choose "Save as" option to download.
    • Manning's Normal Flow - This spreadsheet calculates normal flow discharge given a channel slope, water surface elevation, ground profile across the channel (Sta & Elev data pairs), and Manning's roughness coefficients corresponding to the ground profile. The water surface elevation or channel slope are varied to obtain, by trial-and-error, the desired discharge. Once this discharge is achieved, the hydraulic characteristics for critical flow conditions given this discharge flowing through the entire cross section may be calculated. A cross section plot may be printed, showing the flow elevation. Macros must be enabled for the spreadsheet to function correctly.
    • ARF and Storm Distribution - Calculate rainfall areal reduction and provide a 3-hr or 24-hr design storm distribution
    • CN - Calculate Curve Number for a subbasin. The CN is not adjusted for rainfall intensity or antecedent moisture conditions. (Updated June 28, 2012)
    • Number of Routing Steps - Calculate number of routing steps for a channel using a HEC-RAS standard output table.
    • Storage Discharge - Calculate a Storage-Discharge relation for the Modified-Puls channel routing using a HEC-RAS standard output table.
    • Tc - Calculate sum of the travel time for sheet, shallow concentrated and channel flows. The travel time for channel flow is calculated using a HEC-RAS standard output table.
