The Map 
module provides a suite of tools for defining watershed data using feature objects: points, arcs, and polygons. These feature objects are grouped onto coverages, similar to a layer or level in a CAD drawing. Each coverage represents a particular set of information. For example, one coverage could be used to define drainage boundaries, and another coverage could be used to define land use and soil zones.
Land use and soil zones can be used to compute curve numbers or map other important modeling parameters. Other examples of coverage usage include:
- Computing time of concentration or lag time
- Defining cross sections
- Mapping NSS regions
- Mapping rainfall and other parameters for the LA County modified rational (MODRAT) model
- Streams for 2D analysis using GSSHA
The Map module is included with all editions of WMS.
