As the software became the gold standard for watershed analysis, the development team at BYU realized the system needed to grow beyond a university research lab. In , the core development team at EMRL officially spun off and incorporated as a private company called Aquaveo . To this day, Aquaveo continues to develop WMS in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, while paying royalties back to the engineering department at BYU. In , WMS was put to the ultimate
