Introduction

MIKE HYDRO is the common Graphical User Interface framework some of the Water Resources products of MIKE Powered by DHI.

Embedded in one setup editor, MIKE HYDRO offers a state-of-art, map-cen­tric user interface for intuitive model build, parameter definition and results presentation for water resources related applications.

MIKE HYDRO includes the following modules:

·         Basin module

·         River module

Basin module

MIKE HYDRO Basin is a versatile and highly flexible model framework for a large variety of applications concerning Management and Planning aspects of water resources within a river basin.

Typical basin module applications

·         Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) studies

·         Multi-sector solution alternatives to water allocation and water shortage problems

·         Reservoir and hydropower operation optimisation

·         Exploration of conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water

·         Irrigation scheme performance improvements

Features

MIKE HYDRO Basin models utilise a river network and catchments within the specific river basin as the basic model-data. On top of this, a number of fea­tures can be applied depending on the type of application. Features include; River routing, Water users (regular as well as Irrigation users), Hydro power and Reservoirs, Hydrology (rainfall-runoff simulations), Groundwater, Global ranking of water users, Reservoir sedimentation and Water quality options using MIKE ECO Lab.

MIKE HYDRO Basin is the successor of DHI’s former product for Integrated water resources management and planning; ‘MIKE BASIN’.

River module

MIKE HYDRO River is the modelling framework for defining and executing one-dimensional river models to a large variety of river related project appli­cations.

River module applications

Typical application areas with river models include:

·         River hydraulics application

·         Flood analysis and flood alleviation design studies

·         Real time flood or drought forecasting

·         Dam break analysis

·         Optimisation of reservoir and gate operations

·         Ecology and water quality assessments in rivers and wetlands

·         Water quality forecasting

·         Sediment transport and long term assessment of river morphology changes

·         Wetland restoration studies

MIKE HYDRO River is the new generation of Graphical User Interface for MIKE by DHI River modelling applications, and MIKE HYDRO River is hence the successor for the existing DHI river modelling package; MIKE 11.
