Reference Guide Version 4.

1Acknowledgement
The FHWA Hydraulic Toolbox and Desktop Reference Guide was developed as a collaboration between the
Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA) Resource Center (RC) and Federal Lands Highway (FLH) offices.
The methods and techniques included in the software draws heavily from materials and documents
published by the FHWA.
This software was developed for the FHWA by Aquaveo, Inc.. Work continues by Aquaveo to develop
improved versions and furnish program updates.
