a steady $1$D HEC$-$RAS model for Spring Creek. Use the information provided in mini project $1.$ List

any assumptions you make and answer the following questions:

$($a$)(2$ pts$)$ According to the model, what discharge leaves the main channel and goes into the

floodplain?

$($b$)(3$ pts$)$ According to the model, what discharge would flood houses?

$($c$)(5$ pts$)$ How does the model compute those values $($Hint: Consult the reference manuals and

summarize the methods involved in the calculation$)?$

$($d$)(5$ pts$)$ Which of the methods from mini project $01$ is it$?$ How does it compare to the other
