HydroCAD^® Stormwater Modeling - Since 1986

Why should I choose HydroCAD?

HydroCAD is an excellent solution for large engineering firms with multiple offices.  It provides an unsurpassed combination of engineering features, affordability, manageability, ease-of-use, and broad acceptance.

Powerful engineering features

HydroCAD provides flexible TR-20, TR-55, SBUH, and Rational hydrology, plus TC calculations, pond storage, pond and reach routing, pollutant loading, pump routing calculations, underground storage layout, and much more. You won't find a more complete H&H solution anywhere, regardless of cost.  Details here.

Widely used and accepted

Since 1986, HydroCAD has been the leading choice for H&H software.  With over 50,000 installations, HydroCAD is widely used and accepted by engineers and agencies throughout the country.  For details, read about agency acceptance and see a partial list of HydroCAD users.

Affordable software, now and later

HydroCAD's node-based pricing lets you purchase just the capacity you need, with the flexibility to upgrade to a larger capacity as your needs grow.  This gives you the full power of HydroCAD for even the smallest modeling projects, with the ability to handle larger projects as your needs grow.

Our most popular offering is a 20-node license, which costs just $375/year for an annual license or $895 for a permanent license.  We also offer licenses up to 1000 nodes to handle the most complex projects.

Easy to install and manage

HydroCAD is a compact, stand-alone application that installs in just 60 seconds, and will run on virtually any PC or laptop you currently own, with no special hardware or software requirements.  The installation is simple enough for any computer user, while still providing special capabilities for power-users and IT personnel, such as silent installations.  Details here.

For multiple computers, just install HydroCAD on each computer and go!  Each license permits the operation of HydroCAD by one person at a time, allowing your license(s) to be shared among a larger group of users, thus saving you 50% or more compared to "named user" licensing.  Details here.

Project files can reside on any storage device you choose, and are readily accessed over the network, just like any other document.

Easy to use

Learning HydroCAD is fast and intuitive.  And the built-in tutorial, help system, and printed Reference Manual give you the additional resources you need to get the job done.  Although we suggest that you allow a few days to become familiar with the program, most customers complete their first project in just a few hours.  Our customer comments say it all.
