About

Groundwater recharge is one of the most influential yet uncertain inputs in groundwater modelling, directly affecting water resource assessments, abstraction planning, and long-term management decisions. In this webinar, discover how MIKE SHE can be used as a dedicated recharge modelling tool to generate physically based, spatially distributed recharge estimates for groundwater models such as MODFLOW and FEFLOW. Learn how MIKE SHE represents the key hydrological processes controlling recharge—including precipitation, evapotranspiration, vegetation, soil moisture dynamics, unsaturated flow, and overland flow—while allowing flexible use of gridded climate and land-use datasets. The session will demonstrate how a simplified MIKE SHE configuration can efficiently produce high-quality recharge inputs without requiring a full integrated groundwater model. Through practical examples and recommended workflows, you will gain valuable insights into improving the accuracy, defensibility, and spatial realism of recharge estimates for groundwater modelling, water allocation studies, environmental impact assessments, and climate change investigations.
