In August 2014 FHWA released version 4.2 of their Hydraulic Toolbox, which is a bundle of calculators for the venerable Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 15 Design of Roadside
Channels with Flexible Linings aka HEC-15. I confess that despite my 20+ years of civil engineering,this software is news to me. While some of its calculators may be trivial to any given civil engineer, others may be a big help. And they all are packaged neatly in a Windows program that can output a PDF or RTF report.
Here is a screen shot of a channel lining calculation I did using the Hydraulic Toolbox.

I foresee using the Hydraulic Toolbox for my future drainage reports.
