Kisters WISKI is a relational database designed to acquire, store, and validate data for water management. WISKI is comprised of an SQL database and a web application (KiWIS). HEC-RTS provide access to the WISKI database through the web application KiWIS. WISKI data can be used to provide input data to a CWMS forecast. CWMS can also disseminate data from a forecast.dss file to a WISKI database through KiWIS. Together, the system can be used to edit and transform data.

This tutorial provides instructions on how to use the WISKI database with CWMS and includes information on retrieving data from a WISKI database to provide input for a forecast compute using the Extract Editor and disseminating forecast data to the WISKI database using the Post Editor.
