The town of Schönebeck in Germany experienced challenges with regard to their groundwater, including increasing water levels. The high water levels were a consequence of several issues causing problems for the town’s water infrastructure, such as changes in the drinking water supply and on-going renovations of the sewer systems. DHI-WASY was contracted by University of Applied Sciences Magdeburg-Stendal to find the best possible measure of regulating groundwater levels.

By detailed analyses and development of a coupled hydrological model system using FEFLOW, they found dewatering wells to be the best possible solution to the town’s challenges.

Hydro-Québec generates, transmits and distributes electricity and is currently operating 60 hydroelectric generating stations throughout Quebec and Eastern Canada.

Occasionally, a station may experience a load rejection, where the load is suddenly removed from the generator. This causes a stopped turbine to rotate if a downstream safety device, such as a gate or stop logs, is not put in place.

Hydro-Québec selected MIKE 11 to evaluate the feasibility of using a numerical model to estimate the water level response in the tail race due to a typical load rejection scenario. Being able to simulate and accurately replicate physical tests for their many generating stations will reduce risk and save money in the future.

We provided our client, Coastal Dynamics Limited (CDL), with the necessary software and knowhow for in-depth oceanographic forecasting and 3D hydrodynamic modelling setups.Their new forecast system is set to commence operations in 2013.

An oil spill can cause havoc leaving widespread ecological and wildlife devastation in its wake. Thus, it has become crucial to model probable oil spills and their impacts in order to mitigate the destructive consequences of such spills. CDL wanted to improve their services, with respect to better current information. In order to meet the demand for quality hydrodynamic (current) forecast data, we provided our expertise and software in the form of a calibrated MIKE 3 FM model running daily forecasts of currents, water levels and oil spill scenarios.

Workshop about flood risk management in urban areas in Germany
22-25 July 2013

The workshop ‘Flood risk management in urban areas’ is focused on the recent severe flooding in Germany. The topics will cover how floods occur and what can be done to minimise the risk and damage following a flood. This workshop takes place on 22 July in Syke, 23 July in Dresden, 24 July in Köln and 25 July in Munich. Deadline for registration is 17 July 2013.

For more information and registration, please view the workshop flyer here (in German) or contact Heike Stoschek, Customer Care Unit, DHI-WASY, Germany.

MIKE by DHI User Group Meeting and training courses in Nantes, France
16-20 September 2013

The User Group Meeting (UGM) takes place on 18 September and includes a blend of presentations of the new MIKE by DHI software features of Release 2012, discussion of future features and case studies presented by users from France and French speaking countries. Two training courses take place in conjunction with the User Group Meeting: On 16-17 September 'MIKE URBAN CS - Advanced modelling of urban collection systems' and on 19-20 September 'MIKE FLOOD - Advanced 1D and 2D river flood modelling'.

For more information, please view the User Group Meeting flyer (in French) or contact Mathieu Hellegouarch, THE ACADEMY by DHI Manager, DHI France.

On 27-28 June, 225 participants gathered at King Mongkut’s University of Technology North Bangkok in Thailand for the annual User Group Meeting. The focus was on ‘Mathematical modelling for real world water management’. The participants had the opportunity to learn about software features and technologies, case studies from invited key note speakers and attend hands-on training in MIKE HYDRO Basin and MIKE 21 Flexible Mesh.

We recently held two successful MIKE 11 training courses in Shanghai in China. From 17-21 June, 40 participants gathered at the New Garden Hotel in Shanghai for a five-day public training course. Based on the latest version of our software, the participants obtained software know-how and understanding of decision making. On 22 June, an advanced training course was held at our office in Shanghai.
