This section of the manual describes how you use CWMS once you have configured your watershed. This chapter describes the typical workflow involved in the routine use of CWMS to support the water management process. This chapter will provide information on running models, analyzing results, and, providing information to the user on how to run models when an extreme event occurs.

At this point, you have already configured your watershed and are ready for the routine tasks of managing incoming data; running the forecast models; viewing and analyzing results; revising model data, as needed; and, posting results to the CWMS database to prepare for the next forecast.
