Imagine if you had:

  • A professional GIS package and be able to design a river basin model with your preferred GIS symbols, and combine it with any other GIS relevant information that makes your model easy to use and easy to understand by others.
  • A simulation package for solving a multitude of water allocation problems, representing water availability and the usage in space and time for multi-sector basin planning, and describe rules with multiple types of priorities.
  • A simulation package which could be easily developed for individual scheme analysis, e.g. integrated reservoir/hydropower systems or an irrigation command area, and undertake assessments from a project as well as basin perspective.
  • An enhanced FAO-based irrigation demand and crop yield estimation tool for investigations of multiple irrigations schemes with multiple fields to study management strategies under water stress and drought situations, and their impact on crop production.
  • A powerful environment for time series handling and analysis in GIS, where you could display monitoring stations, associate time series records, and easily perform time series analysis and manipulations of individual or groups of time series records.
  • A GIS-based tool for estimating diffuse pollution loads from catchment areas, that combined with point sources provide input for river basin wide water quality impact assessment.
  • A hydrological modelling system for rainfall-runoff estimation.
  • An open programming interface that helps you to access and manipulate any input and output to or from your model, and assist you to change input parameters, look-up tables, otherwise specified in dialogs, and create the rules you need.


MIKE BASIN has all the above capabilities. A multi-purpose modeling and data management system beyond competition.
