MIKE SHE

MIKE SHE is DHI's fully integrated catchment model: overland flow, unsaturated zone, saturated groundwater, evapotranspiration and channel flow (via coupling to MIKE Hydro River / MIKE+) simulated together in one framework. Where most models pick a compartment, MIKE SHE's value is the coupling — irrigation, wetland, conjunctive-use and drainage questions that live at the surface-water/groundwater interface.

It is commercial software with commercial-grade support and training, licensed per module. For integrated studies where budget exists it remains one of the most complete platforms; open alternatives (GSFLOW, ParFlow) trade polish for freedom.
