The Water Management Systems (WMS) Division administers the Center’s software development IT function and provides support for technical studies and the Corps water management mission. Technical and functional
responsibilities of the WMS Division are: water management technology; data acquisition, communication and management; Corps Water Management System (CWMS) models, applications and support; hydrologic and
hydraulic forecasting; reservoir regulation; HEC software engineering/integration standards and practices; and IT management and administration with ACE-IT. Much of this is in support of the USACE National
Water Management Mission and assists Divisions and Districts in operating water resource infrastructure such as multi-purpose reservoir projects. The software developed also helps to ensure operating
projects perform to meet authorized purposes and evolving conditions and help to improve the reliability of the Nation’s aging water resource infrastructure. The WMS Division develops methods and software,
involving hydrologic, hydraulic, and reservoir simulation for planning initiatives; water management technology; real-time data acquisition; communications; stewardship including improvements and advancements
of the USACE Water Management System (CWMS) application. The WMS Division supports USACE Divisions and Districts on an enterprise basis across the Nation; including hydrologic and hydraulic forecasting and
reservoir regulation simulation; water supply reallocation; HEC software engineering/ integration standards & practices; and HEC system security, management and administration in coordination with ACE-IT and
in compliance with DOD Information Assurance (IA) requirements.
