Abstract

Development and application of a national groundwater resources model for Denmark based on the MIKE SHE modelling system is to be implemented during the four year period: 1996-99. The project has three main components: 1) Development of a National Water Resource Model (NWRM), 2) Development of additional MIKE SHE code and 3) Reorganization of the national groundwater level monitoring network. The NWRM will simulate the major flow processes of the entire land phase of the hydrological cycle with emphasis on the groundwater flow system including interaction with surface water. A grid size of 1000 m and a vertical discretization into 7 calculation layers was chosen. Topography, land use, soil and river network data was transferred into the model assisted by GIS features. The paper presents development and validation of the conceptual model, model setup, calibration and preliminary results for the first step of the creation of the NWRM - the implementation of MIKE SHE for the Isle of Funen.
