Automated watershed delineation & hydrologic modeling
- Automatically delineate a watershed and sub-basins using digital terrain data
- Automatically compute geometric basin data such as area, slope, mean elevation, maximum flow distance and more
- With a small amount of input, compute hydrologic basin data such as time of concentration, curve number, and infiltration parameters
- Industry standard equations for computing sub-basin lag times and times of concentration are included with WMS
- Add any number of interior outlet points and let WMS subdivide the watershed automatically
- Manipulate stream networks to represent man-made features or proposed changes to the watershed
- Override derived basin boundaries to match your knowledge of the watershed

Support for most industry standard hydrologic models
|
A license of WMS Hydrology or greater includes an interface for the following industry standard hydrologic models:
- HEC-1
- HEC-HMS
- TR-20
- TR-55
- Rational Method
- MODRAT
- OC (Orange County, California) Rational
- OC Hydrographic
- HSPF
- National Streamflow Statistics
- Convert and compare the results of a watershed developed for one model with any of the other models supported in WMS
- Read and compare observed hydrographs with computed hydrographs
|
Hydraulic modeling & floodplain mapping
- Define a stream centerline and bank stations
- Define cross section locations
- Automatically cut cross sections and derive Manning's roughness values from elevation and ground material data
- Export cross sections to the HEC-RAS or Simplified Dam Break hydraulic models
- Run the hydraulic model and read the water elevations back into WMS
- Read water surface elevation data from a hydraulic model or manually input known water surface elevations
- Create flood extents and flood depth maps using digital terrain data and water surface elevation data points
- Link the peak flow or complete hydrograph from any of the WMS-supported hydrologic models to an HEC-RAS hydraulic model
|
|
Storm drain modeling
|
- Draw a storm drain network or import a network from GIS
- Compute elevations, lengths, and slopes of pipes from underlying elevation data
- Link the storm drain network to your hydrologic model data
- Export the hydrologic model data and the storm drain network to EPA-SWMM or XP-SWMM
- Import existing EPA-SWMM or XP-SWMM files into WMS
|
2D (Distributed) hydrology
- WMS supports 2D models:
- The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) GSSHA model
- The HMS version of the quasi-distributed MODClark method
- Flood forecasting (depth and velocity over entire 2D domain)
- Thunderstorm (localized rainfall) flood analysis
- Surface ponding and infiltration analysis
- Wetland modeling
- Land use change impact modeling
- Groundwater/surface-water interaction modeling
- Sediment and contaminant modeling
