First, you need to install a plugin for the WRF Hydro data type (tools > plugin 
manager). After restart the IDV, 
you can load the WRF-Hydro model output in the IDV by specifying the data 
source type as "WRF HYDRO files". The most
popular display feature is the point cloud for the streamFlow parameter. One 
problem with the WRF Hydro is that the
output format always changes and never being standardized, so you may need to 
adjust the output result to fit into 
the IDV. Here is the link for the tutorial document:
