Illinois NRCS Engineering Software

This program contains solutions to the hydraulic equations that are frequently encountered on soil and water conservation activities. All of these solutions are presented in a graphical form that more readily displays the inputs and solutions. Printed reports are available from all of the hydraulic solutions that will satisfy most documentation requirements.

Routing small pipe-drop structures
Sizing tile-outlet terrace systems
Sizing concrete-block or rock-lined chutes
Evaluating channel stability
Evaluating channel tailwater depths
Performing earthfill volume calculations
Computing simple hydraulic formulae
