Scoping Module

 

Download Not Available

Collect data and prioritize community requests for floodplain studies.

  • Assists mapping partners in conducting scoping processes for communities requesting new flood hazard studies and mapping
  • Can be deployed on multiple laptops at community meetings
  • Provides GIS tools for collecting and displaying reach limits and their study type and LOMCs
  • Tools to collect and report community ordinances, GIS data availability, and community meeting information
  • Supports real-time analysis and prioritization of stream and coastal reaches

Terrain Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Import numerous types of terrain data, blend it based on user-specified priorities, and create hydrologically correct digital elevation models.

  • Allows you to prioritize datasets so the best data can be used where it is available
  • Provides tools to correct errors due to culverts, surface irregularities and depressions automatically
  • Provides real-time drainage area or elevation tracking

Closed System Inventory Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Collect, organize and verify data on curve inlets, catch basins, manholes and their incoming and outgoing pipes

  • Built-in quality control checks attribute data
  • Automatically calculates pipe capacities, lengths, and slopes
  • Assists in setting up a quality assurance survey
  • Can be easily updated to reflect changing conditions

Open System Inventory Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Import, store and maintain field survey data for use in large scale hydrologic and hydraulic studies, with easy export to HEC-RAS models.

  • Provides tools to check the completeness of Total Station survey data collected according to Appendix N: Guidelines
  • Automatically links photographs to their respective structures or cross sections
  • Stores interviews of witnesses to historical flooding
  • Exports structures and cross sections for hydraulic calculations

Hydrology Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Automatically generate curve numbers, time of concentrations, and all key input parameters for today's hydrologic software.

  • Delineates basins and calculates Time of Concentration, stage/storage curves and SCS curve numbers automatically based on user-specified parameters
  • Imports HEC-RAS routings to be used in combination with WISE-generated routings
  • Functions as pre-processor for HEC-1 and TR-20 hydrologic models

Hydraulics Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Integrate terrain, hydrologic, and survey data to build hydraulic models (HEC-2, HEC-RAS) and incorporate the output data to create floodplain mapping and profiles.

  • Automatically places cross sections, and calculates takeoffs, stream distances and n-values automatically
  • Imports HEC-RAS output and maps the 100-year flood boundaries
  • Places Base Flood Elevations cross sections according to FEMA specifications

Water Quality Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Review the impact of runoff from existing or proposed streets, parking areas, agricultural land, subdivisions or urban areas over a selected period of time

  • Calculates spill travel time by distance or time interval
  • Displays color-coded stream segments with one-click access to details
  • Functions as a pre-processor to the HSPF model through WinHSPF

Planning Tools Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Utilize aerial photography with WISE data sets to calculate the percentage of impervious surface by tax parcel

  • Supports digitizing impervious surfaces from aerial photographs
  • Automatically calculates the areas and percentages of impervious surface for each type
  • Generates reports of impervious surfaces and ownership by tax parcel

Wastewater Planning Module

 

Download PDF Get Acrobat

Make better-informed decisions about repairing, replacing or adding to existing wastewater systems or create master and alternative plans for new wastewater systems

  • Allows you to set assumptions and costs for a model used in various scenarios in a model
  • Provides tools to quickly develop alternative scenarios and wastewater systems
  • Allows you to easily revise costs or population factors
  • Enables you to add flows from specific developments to a scenario
