Corps Water Management System (CWMS) Modernization Improved Real-Time Decision Support for Water Management 700+ Multipurpose Reservoirs and Flow Control Structures, Thousands of Miles of Levees Expanded Corporate Web-Based Information Standardized Corporate Hardware/Software Class IV AIS BACKGROUND NOTES: The Water Control Data System (WCDS) supports the decision process for the Corps water control management mission. Corps is responsible for round-the-clock monitoring and operation of more than 700 CE reservoir, lock and dam and other water control projects, and during flood operations this responsibility expands to include an additional 120+ Section 7 projects. Water control management provides critical information and hydrologic decision making that are fundamental to achievement of the full range of benefits from all our projects. The modernized WCDS integrates: watershed scaled - data acquisition, -database storage, real-time model generated prediction of runoff, project inflow and release, operational release scenario and decision support, -river flow and water surface profiles, -inundated area and damage analysis, -flow impact analysis, and information dissemination into a single comprehensive suite of software. Incorporates State-of-the-art: watershed, river, and reservoir systems engineering; database management; information dissemination and software engineering. Client-Server architecture allows hardware, software and technical resource sharing, with flexible scaling of system for field deployment in single and multiple office installations . Corporate Class IV Automated Information System (AIS). Software Development effort - 1997 to 2001. Field Deployment - 2001 to 2002.
