HYDROCALC

I originally began developing HydroCalc© to learn basic "windows" programming techniques - I wanted to learn how to make little windows pop-up on my computer screen. At this time, I was a full-time consulting engineer but was also teaching hydraulic and water resources engineering classes at CSU - Sacramento. So, I decided to develop HydroCalc© for use as a teaching-aid in my classes. The first version of HydroCalc© was a uniform flow (i.e. normal depth) calculator with a single input/output dialogue box - you input the required parameters and out popped the normal depth... As HydroCalc© became more sophisticated, I found it to be useful for my consulting work. In addition, my colleagues began using the program. So, I continued to improve HydroCalc©. Basically, when I encounted a meaningful hydraulic calculation, I thought about incorporating it into HydroCalc©. My criteria for adding additional capabilities to HydroCalc© were essentially twofold: (1) the computation should be non-..
