1. 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 to 2001.
Field Deployment to 2002.
