The story of the Watershed Modeling System began in the late 20th century at (BYU). The software was originally developed by BYU's Environmental Modeling Research Laboratory (EMRL). The vision was to create a tool that could take complex digital terrain data and turn it into highly accurate, scannable maps that predict how water moves across land after heavy rainfall. 🪖 Military Funding and The Balkans

💡 Today, WMS is used globally to help engineers size culverts so roads don't wash out, map flood zones to protect homeowners, and manage precious water resources. Department of Defense Watershed Modeling System watershed-modeling-system

In , WMS was put to the ultimate test in a real-world theater of operation. The Army Corps of Engineers used the software to model runoff and river behaviors in the Sava River basin in Bosnia to help stabilize infrastructure and predict flooding risks following regional conflict. 🏂 Defending the Olympics The story of the Watershed Modeling System began
