About RiverGIS
--------------

RiverGIS is a `QGIS plugin <http://qgis.org/>`_ that helps you create HEC-RAS flow model. HEC has developed an excellent tool for that, the `HEC-GeoRAS <http://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-georas/>`_ for ArcGIS. While HEC-GeoRAS can be downloaded and run at no cost, the ArcGIS licence can drain your pocket heavily. RiverGIS, released under the `GNU General Public License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html>`_, brings the power of HEC-GeoRAS into the `free/libre software <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software>`_ world.
