HydroCAD is simple and easy to use. The screens are easy to navigate and the user guide is helpful. It was also easy to learn to use. What the program lacks in a flashy GUI is more than made up for in the flexibility and usability of the model. There is also an extensive library of constants to be used and pre-fab structures.

Some of the data input could be simplified if you could cut and paste tables, such as the soil cover screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
HydroCAD is great for basic calculations for determining runoff peak flows and volumes from a subcatchment or designing ponds. The process of setting up these calculations is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
HydroCAD has limited capabilities. For example, there is no easy way to size pipes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Has a lot of things you can do. Used it for a stormwater detention basin and it did a great job at calculating water flows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was very hard to understand. But maybe if I specialized in hydraulics instead of roads/structures I would understand it more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how easy and simple it is to visualize and implement changes to designs. It is very straightforward and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do not like how ugly it is when you print it out. It almost looks like a child drew it up. There are triangles connecting to squares. It would be better if it showed something more accurate to what is happening. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-Excellent software for stormwater designing and analyzing. Its also very useful in calculating of water flow and even designing of various practical designs. It now provides the user with plenty new additional features like direct CAD import, Importation of local data, etc. Production of high quality of services as a final result within a very short time. Not forgetting the support team, its quite nice with quick response. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how simple and stable the software is. It is very easy to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the simplicity of it is also its limitation. I wish it interfaced directly with other drainage software like InRoads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
