MIKE SHE

MIKE SHE is an integrated hydrological modelling system that simulates surface water, groundwater, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, land‑use interactions, and urban drainage to predict water quantity and quality across catchments. It supports distributed-physics representations, coupling with hydraulic modules and climate inputs for comprehensive assessment of floods, water resources, and environmental impacts.

Key Advantages

• Fully coupled surface–subsurface modelling enabling mass-conservative interactions and two-way feedback between groundwater, vadose zone, rivers, and overland flow.
• Modular physics-based components for unsaturated flow, evapotranspiration, urban drainage, and contaminant transport with advanced calibration and sensitivity tools.
• GIS and climate-data integration, scenario management, and scalable computation for regional to catchment-scale simulations and decision support.

Professional Scope

Essential for Architects, Civil Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Interior Designers, Mechanical Engineers, and Surveyors–GIS Specialists for designing resilient infrastructure, site planning, flood mitigation, drainage systems, and integrating hydrology into multidisciplinary projects.

Access & Licensing

MIKE SHE is commercially distributed by DHI and is available under Paid-Subscription and Paid-Lifetime licensing models (no full free edition; trials and academic licenses may be available).

Specialization

Critical across Construction Management, FEA, Electrical/EDA, CAM/3D Printing, Data Science, Geotechnical Engineering, CFD, Hydrology, Aerospace, Automotive, CAE, Open-Source AI, Robotics Simulation, and scientific numerical analysis because it provides physics-based hydrological coupling, boundary conditions, validation datasets, and scenario-driven inputs required for accurate multiphysics simulations and integrated engineering workflows.
