Flood Simulation Model of Quinale Watershed for Disaster Risk Management using HEC-
RAS and HEC-HMS
Key Words: flood, Quinale watershed, disaster risk, flood simulation model
ABSTRACT
Quinale riverbed/watershed accounts for nearly a third of the Bicol River basin, covering the
municipalities of the third district of Albay ( Polangui, Oas, Ligao, Guinobatan and Camalig). It is located in
the south portion of the basin and is associated with deep and prolonged flooding. It has three main
tributaries namely: Nasisi, Cabilogan and Ogsong River which carry most of the sediments of Mt. Mayon.
This study aims to generate a flood model of Quinale Watershed for disaster risk management.
The flood model is beneficial in forecasting weather trends and for climate-related decision making.
Hydrologic Engineers’ Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) and River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) will
be used to generate the model. HEC-RAS is designed to perform one and two-dimensional hydraulic
calculations for a full network of natural and constructed channels and HEC-HMS is designed to describe
the physical properties of river basins, the meteorology that occurs on them, and the resulting runoff and
stream flow that are produced. 5-100 years flood return period will be used for simulation of different
flood scenarios.
