DHI lanserer webside for utveksling av MIKE URBAN verktøy

MIKE URBAN er en del av et åpent miljø hvor du selv kan utvikle dine egne verktøy og tilbehør. Vi har nå lansert en hjemmeside hvor brukere kan dele sine verktøy, skript og annet tilbehør. Du finner siden på http://www.dhisoftware.com/mikeurban/download/toolshare.htm

Ny service pack til MIKE URBAN

Scenario Manager for MIKE URBAN

MIKE URBAN Scenario Manager er et brukergrensesnitt som gir muligheten til å definere, organisere og rapportere alternative scenarier, som for eksempel utskifting av eksisterende vannforsyningsledninger, økt vannforbruk på grunn av økt befolkning, endret drift av pumpestasjoner, brannvannsanalyser, legging av nye ledninger, etc.

MIKE URBAN Scenario Manager er basert på et konsept med datagrupper, alternativer og scenarioer. Hver database tabell som er relevant for scenario manageren er inkludert i en av datagruppene. Hver datagruppe kan være en del av et MIKE URBAN prosjekt med flere ulike dataset (alternativer). Alternativene for en bestemt datagruppe er organisert i en trebasert struktur, hvor avhengigheter følger grenene i treet – fra ”foreldre” til ”arving” (barn). Et scenario representerer et set av data inkludert systemets konfigurasjon for en gitt situasjon.

MIKE URBAN Scenario Manager gir deg en enkel måte å forvalte flere ulike scenarioer innen et enkelt MIKE URBAN prosjekt (en enkelt geo-database). Med Scenario Manager kan brukeren arbeide med et ubegrenset antall scenarier i et og samme prosjekt.

• Effektiv forvaltning av alternativer
• Perfekt verktøy for saneringsplaner og hovedplaner
• Rapportering og sammenligning av alternativer
• Sammenligning og evaluering av scenarioer
• Effektiv lagring av data (ikke lagring av duplikat informasjon)

Scenario Manageren er inkludert i SP3 for MIKE URBAN 2005.

Illustrasjon: Scenario manager for MIKE URBAN består av scenarioer (venstre) og alternativer (høyre).

How to compare different data sets in MIKE URBAN

High number of model alternatives is often created while developing, calibrating, and validating a model of water distribution or wastewater network. Keeping track of the model changes has been quite a difficult task requiring systematic and punctual work. Scenario Manager for MIKE URBAN 2005 makes this task much simpler and automatic. In order to use the automatic comparison of different model alternatives, start using the Scenario Manager instead of saving a model under a different name and define the model alternatives and scenarios. Report tool, which you can access from within the Scenario Manager, allows you to select from predefined report types including generating differences between scenarios and alternatives. The comparison report can contain a list of changed records as well as a list of only changed (i.e. new, deleted, or modified records). The report is generated as HTML file and it can be displayed using standard Internet Explorer.

Using MIKE URBAN Layout Tool

Using the layout tool in MIKE URBAN generates a fixed default layout template. If you want to change it quickly do as follows: right-click in an empty section of the ‘paper’ (i.e. not inside one of the elements) then choose “Change Layout” from the menu and select a template from the list. You can also save your own templates.

Illustration: Select Template dialog box allows you to select the layout template and define its settings

FLOODRELIEF

FLOODRELIEF is a 5th framework research project funded by the European Commission. The overall aim of the project is to improve flood forecasting methodologies and has been undertaken by a group of seven European partners. For further information please see http://projects.dhi.dk/floodrelief/

Ensemble forecasting:

Incorporating Quantitative Precipitation Forecasts (QPF) into a flood forecasting system provides valuable increases in forecast lead-time. This is achieved at the cost of increasing the expected uncertainty in the forecasts. It is therefore of interest to determine how uncertainty in the estimated rainfall propagates through the hydrological forecasting model. At the University of Bristol an ensemble rainfall and flood forecast system has been developed to investigate the behaviour of uncertainty as it propagates through the cascades of forecast models. A description of the application to case studies in the UK is given below

Water Framework Directive

Better River Basins: A new website set up for UK on both Integrated Water Resource Management and the implementation of the Water Framework Directive. The UK branch of WWF is the owner of the site. Visit it and get inspiration.

Man and River Systems II; Interactions among Rivers, their Watershed and the Sociosystem: Paris, France, 4-6 December 2006:

The purpose of this new edition of the Man and River Systems symposium is to take stock of the achievements of river system studies undertaken at the whole watershed scale, and to discuss new challenges for a better understanding and management of the complex interactions between aquatic ecosystems and human activity in the watershed.

Upcoming Events

Hydroinformatics 2006 Annual Conference and Exposition,

When: September 4-8, 2006
Where: Acropolis Congress Centre, Nice, France

Hydroinformatics Conference is a significant event in the continuous effort of three international associations - International Association of Hydraulic Engineering and Research (IAHR), International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) and International Water Association (IWA) - associated for the first time with the Société Hydrotechnique de France (SHF) to actively promote and accelerate both research and applications of hydroinformatics in the world.
