WMS is developed by Aquaveo, LLC, in partnership with the US Army Corps of Engineers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data Model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The heart of WMS is creating a data model that represents the features of your watershed. WMS is able to download and\/or read a wide variety of elevation, land use, soils, imagery, and many other data types for use in your project. WMS builds a data model of your watershed that it can then turn into the inputs for hydrologic and hydraulic simulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydrologic Models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WMS supports building model input files for a variety of hydrologic and hydraulic models. These include both 1D and 2D models, including HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, <a href=\"https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/tools\/gridded-surface-subsurface-hydrologic-analysis-gssha-model\/\">GSSHA<\/a>, HSPF, and several others. The models can span the range of rainfall-runoff simulators, channel flow simulators, and even storm drainage simulators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engineering With Nature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WMS can support a wide variety of watershed management scenarios that include EWN-centric watershed engineering methods. For example, constructed wetlands, infiltration basins, conservation management zones, cropping and tilling practices, local stormwater capture basins, and beaver dam analogs. For more information see the <a href=\"https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/engagements\/event\/gridded-surface-subsurface-hydrologic-analysis-gssha-model-training-for-ewn-project-design\/\">GSSHA WMS EWN Workshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training and Tutorials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aquaveo has an extensive set of tutorials (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaveo.com\/software\/wms-learning-tutorials\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.aquaveo.com\/software\/wms-learning-tutorials<\/a>) that are free to access and use. USACE users can receive support from USACE WMS subject matter experts. Please contact Charles Downer via email for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Licensing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Licenses for USACE users and direct contractors are free of charge. WMS can be downloaded from the Aquaveo website, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaveo.com\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.aquaveo.com\/downloads<\/a>, or from the USACE ESD available software website.
