Integrated catchment hydrological modelling

MIKE SHE

Analyse groundwater, surface water, recharge, and evapotranspiration processes 

 

MIKE SHE is integrated catchment hydrological modelling software designed to simulate surface water and groundwater interactions in complex systems. Developed by leading experts in the field, MIKE SHE is widely used by hydrologists, engineers, and researchers to evaluate water resources, predict flooding events, and optimise water management strategies. 

 

It incorporates advanced algorithms to simulate rainfall-runoff processes, groundwater flow, soil moisture dynamics, and surface water routing. By integrating these components, MIKE SHE enables users to assess the impact of various factors like land use changes, climate variability, and water management interventions on water resources and ecosystems.
