WMS Freeware

Public Domain Version
The Watershed Modeling System (WMS) can now be obtained for public domain use - free of charge! This freeware version of the software will allow anyone to set up and execute a hydrologic model using the schematic set up option in the Hydrologic Modeling Module of WMS. Features of the public domain version include:
- Choose to use HEC-1 (HEC-HMS), TR-20, TR-55, NFF, MODRAT, or Rational Method for hydrologic analysis.
- Create a complete model schematic including diversions and reservoirs with the simple “hydrologic tree” tools in WMS.
- Use the full graphical interface to each model to enter model parameters, execute the model, and view results.
- The freeware version of WMS will increase your productivity by eliminating the need to learn complex file formats required for set up of the models listed above. Further, the simple graphical representation will allow you and your clients to visualize the layout of the watershed and easily associate peak flow and hydrograph results to corresponding locations in the watershed.
- The public domain version does not allow use of the terrain modeling, mapping, or automated delineation modules of WMS.
