Welcome
to the Watershed Information System (WISE)® family of
products, a new generation of engineering capabilities in flood
analysis, planning, and mitigation.
The WISE family of products is a comprehensive
computer system for community-based stormwater and floodplain
management. By integrating innovative programming, Geographic
Information System (GIS) technologies, data management techniques,
and standard engineering analysis, WISE builds “living” watershed
models that users can manipulate to reflect new data and
predict future developments in specific communities. WISE
makes it easy to manage and stay up-to-date with infrastructure
inventory, floodplain delineation, flood map production,
water quality determination, and land-use planning.
WISE Choice
With ten comprehensive modules available
in the WISE program, it's simple to meet individual user
needs or address a community's specific water management
issues. And now, Watershed Concepts is adding even more flexibility
by developing WISE functionality as ArcGIS extensions. The
WISE Terrain Analyst is the first in this exciting new direction
for the WISE family of products. Just open an ArcGIS session
and add the extension to get the functionality of multiple
data sources, TIN and grid terrain models, and Watershed
Concepts' proprietary software for creating flow vectors,
FAUCET.
WISE Investment
Because WISE easily manages large data
sets, users can create and revise their plans and documents
more quickly and inexpensively. High quality WISE-generated
documents cost 60% less than the national average -- and
are more accurate. Users know the value of their WISE system
because they see the impressive return on their investment
every day.
The WISE Family
The WISE software is available as specific
modules or the comprehensive system. The WISE Terrain Analyst
extension for ArcGIS™ can be purchased individually.
