Creating a Water Balance

Before you can create a water balance for a MIKE SHE WM simulation, you must have saved the water balance data during the simulation. Saving of the water balance data is specified in the Storing of Results (V1 p. 335) dialogue. If you have forgotten to save the water balance data, then you will need to re-run your simulation.

Note: the available time step resolution of the water balance will be the same as the Storing Interval for Grid Series Output. If the storing intervals are differ­ent, then it will be the largest Storing Interval.

After you have run your WM simulation, creating and running a water balance in MIKE SHE is quite simple, following these steps

1.       Create a new water balance document (V1 p. 96),

2.       Extract the water balance data (V1 p. 97)

3.       Specify your water balance (V1 p. 98), and

4.       Calculate and View the Water Balance (V1 p. 101).
