This depends in part on how long you are willing to allow your computer to process the data and run the analysis and what your goals are. There is no real limitation on the number of reaches that can be processed beyond the amount of time required. However, when running the hydrologic analysis, the recommended limit is 150 reaches to ensure function completion. When running the hydraulic (Delineate Floodplain) analysis, the recommended limit is 24 reaches for the suite and 90 reaches for single discharge or single return period.
For additional information, the HAZUS User's Manuals and guidance materials are available for download from the HAZUS Resources on this site.
