Course Material - Real Time Water Management with CWMS

Workshop 0: CAVI Orientation

This workshop provides an introduction to the Control and Visualization Interface (CAVI), navigating the different modules, and using basic features.

Workshop 1: CAVI Model Integration

This workshop will walk through the steps required to integrate individual models into a CAVI watershed. This model integration process is necessary to prepare a CAVI watershed for creating and computing forecasts.

Workshop 2: HEC-MetVue Overview

This workshop will provide an introduction to HEC-MetVue in CWMS and the process of producing meteorological scenario results from CAVI forecast simulations.

Workshop 3: HEC-HMS Model Calibration in CWMS

The purpose of this workshop is to have you become familiar with HEC-HMS and how to calibrate a model. Being able to calibrate a model quickly is important, as water managers are often required to run multiple scenarios during flood events.

Workshop 4: HEC-ResSim in CWMS

The workshop shows you how to review the setup of an HEC-ResSim alternative in an existing forecast run and how to analyze HEC-ResSim results using a variety of outputs. You will also modify the reservoir operations using overrides and model element editors.

Workshop 5: HEC-RAS in CWMS

This workshop will introduce you  to running HEC-RAS within a CAVI forecast simulation and the process of producing flood inundation results.

Workshop 6: HEC-FIA in CWMS

This workshop will introduce you to HEC-FIA in CWMS and the process of reviewing flood inundation damages from CAVI forecast simulations.

Workshop 7: CWMS Graphics and Scripting

This workshop will introduce you to many of the CAVI plot customization features and illustrate their usefulness.

Workshop 8: Daily Modeling with CWMS

This workshop walks you through the steps of using CAVI for day-to-day operations. 

Workshop 9: Event Scenario Modeling with CWMS

This workshop uses a forecasted rainfall scenario to determine if a reservoir will go into uncontrolled spillway flow and whether downstream flooding occurs.

Workshop 10: Assorted CWMS Applications

Three workshops are available to choose from that focus on different CAVI components. 

• Snowmelt Forecasting in CWMS (Upper Susquehanna River)
• Floodplain Mapping Scenario
  
• HEC-ResSim OSI Workshop

Workshop 11: Team Forecasting

This workshop shows you team modeling features in CWMS and how they can be utilized within your office.

Workshop 12: Integration of CWMS Models in the CAVI

This workshop walks you through importing HEC-MetVue, HEC-HMS, HEC-ResSim, HEC-RAS, and HEC-FIA model alternatives into a CAVI watershed and creating a forecast that uses the imported models.
