The goal of the hecr package is to give a user a simple and consistent interface to retrieving data from an hdf file produced by running a HEC-RAS model. Data resulting from hecr function calls are all in a tidy form, thus allowing a user to use any tidyverse tool. The consistancy in hecr interface and the data returned from it, allows for the possibility of automation, a topic to be covered in an advanced tutorial.
In the remaining of this document, we cover in detail the usage and real world application of the hecr package.
