“…Parameter sensitivity analysis has shown that simulation results of distributed models are very much more sensitive to some parameters than others. Calver (1988), Bathurst & O'Connell (1992), Refsgaard et al (1992) and Refsgaard (1996) show that a few essential parameters have particular effects on simulated hydrographs. This knowledge was used in this study to reduce calibration parameters to the following: hydraulic conductivity in the unsaturated zone, the overland resistance coefficient, and the drainage time constant.…”

The capability of the spatially-distributed, physically-based, rainfall-runoff modelling system, MIKE SHE, to simulate the hydrological behaviour of the natural and drained parts of the North Kent Grazing Marshes, UK, is investigated. The MIKE SHE code is applied to Bells Creek, a small, underdrained, agricultural catchment located within the marshes. The model is used to both provide insights into the essential parameters that control the hydrological processes in the catchment, and predict the influence of various, hypothetical, water management strategies (land use and drainage) on pumped discharge and soil moisture storage in the catchment. The water table model predictions arising from these hypothetical scenarios are also compared against field data obtained from on-going hydrological research on the neighbouring, natural, Elmley Marshes. The comparison is found to be favourable. The results of this study indicate the potential of the MIKE SHE system to simulate the hydrological regime of these wetlands, and hence to play an important role as a tool that can assist environmental and conservation agencies in the sound management of wetland resources. Modélisation hydrologique d'un marais de pâturage drainé utilisé comme terrain "agricole et simulation de scénarios de gestion de restaurationRésumé Ce travail examine la capacité d'un système de modélisation hydrologique physique, spatialement distribué, MIKE SHE, à simuler le comportement hydrologique de zones naturelles et drainées des marais du nord du Kent, au Royaume-Uni. Le code MIKE SHE a été appliqué au petit bassin agricole drainé de Bells Creek, situé dans ces marais. La modèle est utilisé afin de fournir à la fois un aperçu de paramètres essentiels contrôlant les processus hydrologiques dans le bassin et pour prédire l'influence de différentes stratégies de gestion des eaux (utilisation des terres et drainage) sur les débits pompés et l'humidité du sol. On compare également les prédictions du modèle de la nappe fournies pour ces différents scénarios aux données de terrain recueillies dans le cadre des recherches en cours sur les marais Elmley voisins, encore à l'état naturel. Les résultats de la comparaison sont positifs. Les résultats de cette étude montrent la capacité du code MIKE SHE à simuler le régime hydrologique de ces zones humides et donc sa vocation à être utilisé par les organismes en charge de l'environnement et de la protection pour un gestion rationnelle des ressources des zones humides.

“…Because of computer limitations 30 years ago, the model's ability to couple soil science, hydraulics, groundwater, and other physical processes was an important breakthrough. Before MIKE SHE was successfully employed to simulate the complete basin over a long period of time in India (Refsgaard et al, 1992), only Miles and Rushton (1983) had ever used an integrated physical distributed hydrological model for such a large-scale watershed simulation over a long period; however, its surface water model was lumped. Therefore, Graham and Butts (2005) stated that the major scientific contribution of the SHE and MIKE SHE model is having been the first actual successful application of a fully distributed physical model for a basin of more than 1000 km 2 , and they considered it the representative integrated distributed physical model.…”

The physically based distributed modelling system, MIKE SHE, is used to simulate the hydrological water balance of Belura watershed with the objective of developing the irrigation plan and assessing productivity. The existing cropping system was replaced with the cropping system planned using qualitative land evaluation i.e. land capability and suitability classification for soils of the watershed. The hydrological water balance was simulated using calibrated model for Belura watershed. The actual yield of the sorghum, cotton and pigeonpea from watershed area was estimated by Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) model, using simulated hydrological water balance. Yield of sorghum, cotton and pigeonpea is estimated to be 32, 48 and 55% of the potential yield at downstream side and 28, 41 and 46% at upstream side, respectively. Considering the water requirement to obtain potential yields, these crops suffered soil moisture deficit of 61, 68 and 151mm at upstream; and 57, 65 and 157mm at downstream sides of the watershed, respectively. If irrigation is provided as and when water content in the root zone goes below allowable limit at different crop growth stages using hydrological water balance, it is possible to obtain sustainable crop yields. The overall results illustrate the applicability of MIKE SHE comprehensive hydrological modelling system for the management of water resources for sustainable agricultural productivity in a watershed.
