Hi there I reckon it will be great to have a set of plugins for hydrology and hydraulic modelling in QGIS.
To develop a new hydraulic engine for QGIS is not an ideal and we will be re-inventing the wheel. So, the ideal situation is to take an existing tool and use QGI to pre-process or post-process the inputs/outputs. Most of the hydraulic/hydrology model I have come across are for Windows only, which is not ideal. The only one which is very powerful and really multi-platform is AnuGA http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga/ AnuGA can be used for modelling: coastal, fluvial, surface water and urban drainage system. We have developed a plugin for QGIS so that you can prepare your model GIS files (boundary files, mesh, etc). It is a bit out of date and requires lots of tweaking. http://sourceforge.net/projects/anuga-gai/ Will be good find a fund from those who are interested and develop this further. We have several ideas to improve the plugin further (mesh editor, result viewer, etc) but extremely busy atm.
