Abstract
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), one of five water management districts in Florida, is responsible for regional flood control, water supply and water quality protection as well as ecosystem restoration in the Southern portion of Florida. The SFWMD is partitioned into water control systems (WCS). Analogous to watersheds in that vertical fluxes of water enter through rain and exit through evapotranspiration, the WCSs differ in that they have control structures to regulate horizontal flux through a system of canals. Efficient control of these structures ensures that SFWMD's multiple water resources objectives are met. SFWMD is currently building an operations decision support system (ODSS) for control of its water-control systems. A possible source of information for the ODSS is a water-budget-based real-time assessment of WCS system state, which is implemented as the WCS Tracker application.
