Water Management Enterprise System (WMES) � is an integrated system of all the software (CWMS, Database, COTS and Open-Source Applications), hardware (Servers, Appliances and DCPs), communication resources and system�s architecture used by the USACE Water Management CoP to perform the USACE real-time Water Management Mission. WMES is designed with enterprise standards, whose base infrastructure is then built and managed by the USACE service provider, CIO/G6. WMES is used to carry out the Corps� Water Management Mission which assures project safety and carries out the regulation of congressionally authorized purposes as outlined in legislation referenced in project documents (ER 1110-2-240 and ER 1110-2-249). Corps Water Management System (CWMS) - CWMS is a comprehensive software package which provides critical information for making decisions that are fundamental in achieving the full range of benefits of the authorized purposes of our projects. CWMS integrates real-time data acquisition, database storage, flow forecasting of watershed runoff, reservoir operation decision support, river profile computation, inundated area determination, consequence analysis, and information dissemination. CWMS incorporates state-of-the-art modeling techniques such as spatially distributed rainfall-runoff flow forecasting, rule-based reservoir systems operation, steady- and unsteady-flow water surface profile analysis, 2-D flow analysis, event-by-event flow impact for damage, population, life-loss, and structures. In addition to determining reservoir operations, the current and forecasted river stage/profiles and inundated flood area information is utilized for flood fight decisions, flood evacuation warnings, and transportation interruption alerts. Additionally, Geographic Information System (GIS) capability provides inundated areas impacted along with specific parcel and structure information if available. CWMS can also be used to estimate potential life-loss due to given flooding scenarios. CWMS is comprised of application client and server software which may run on dedicated or virtual hardware. Application software includes Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) developed modeling software, Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) models and software, Operating Systems (OS), and Database (DB) software. Contractors will provide software engineering services to support on-going software development projects, security compliance and software support for these systems for the HEC.
