MIKE SHE

MIKE SHE

Integrated Catchment Modeling

  • Seamless integration of all the important processes of the hydrologic cycle
  • Catchment hydrology, coupled surface water & groundwater, floodplain management
  • Land use and climate change, nutrient fate, groundwater remediation

 

Overview

MIKE SHE delivers truly integrated modelling of groundwater, surface water, recharge and evapotranspiration — in short, all the aspects of hydrology that are important if your project requires an integrated model. No other tool or combination of tools can match MIKE SHE in terms of seamless integration of all the important processes of the hydrologic cycle at catchment scale.

Typical MIKE SHE applications

  • Integrated catchment hydrology
  • Conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater
  • Irrigation and drought management
  • Wetland management and restoration
  • Environmental river flows
  • Floodplain management
  • Groundwater induced flooding
  • Land use and climate change
  • Nutrient fate and management
  • Groundwater remediation

Applications

Integrated Catchment Modeling

A MIKE SHE model can include any or all of the processes in the land-phase of the hydrologic cycle:

  • Precipitation (rain or snow)
  • Evapotranspiration
  • Overland sheet flow
  • Channel flow
  • Unsaturated infiltration
  • Saturated groundwater flow

For integrated process-oriented catchment modelling MIKE SHE offers a range of numerical methods - from simple conceptual approaches to advanced, physics-based methods – that can be combined as needed leading to unparalleled flexibility truly enabling you to tailor your model to your problem.

Application Areas:

  • Groundwater
  • Water Management

Environmental Modeling

Integrated water quality in surface and subsurface water

A surface spill will impact the environment via many pathways. It can dissolve in runoff and contaminate streams and rivers directly, or infiltrate through the unsaturated zone and eventually impact streams and rivers via baseflow. Impacts via these different pathways are different and complex, in terms of timing, duration, concentration and natural attenuation. MIKE SHE allows you to simulate integrated water quality across the hydrologic cycle.

Reaction Processes - MIKE SHE allows you to simulate dissolution on the ground surface, plus temperature and moisture dependent first-order decay, as well as linear and non-linear sorption - with or without hysterisis.

Particle Tracking - MIKE SHE includes a sophisticated random walk particle tracking module for analyzing transient flow patterns in the saturated zone. The random walk method is especially useful for determining well field capture zones and recharge areas from long term transient simulations.

Water Quality in rivers – Water quality in MIKE SHE is using MIKE 11 for water quality modelling in rivers. Further, EcoLab is available in MIKE 11 for nearly unlimited flexibility in simulating kinetic water quality processes, such as surface water eutrophication and heavy metal fate and transport.
