Flood forecasting system in the Biala Tarnowska river in Poland

At DHI Poland, we have been awarded a contract for the development of a flood forecasting system in the Biała Tarnowska river catchment. The system will be used to monitor the meteorological and hydrological conditions and issue flood warnings for the local administration units, crisis prevention teams and the general public. During the massive flood in 2010, the large city, Tarnów, and several smaller municipalities along the river suffered. With the new flood forecasting system, they will benefit from the early warnings.

At this stage, the system will be based on accessible online data, mainly from meteorological models and water level gauges. However, in the future it is planned to be extended by additional monitoring stations including rain gauges and possibly a local weather radar. MIKE Customised will be used to develop the system and to make the best use of online hydrological and hydraulic models developed in MIKE 11. This will be the first operational system of this type introduced in Poland.

Application examples

Optimising oyster aquaculture in Qualidia Lagoon in Morocco

They chose to apply MIKE by DHI hydrodynamic modelling software, which enabled them to reach the conclusion of removing the upstream dike and thus improving the aquaculture environment.

Past events

The Academy by DHI in Mexico and Costa Rica

On 20 February 2013, about a hundred people gathered at the Hotel Fiesta Inn, Mexico City, for the 2nd DHI seminar and MIKE by DHI User Group Meeting. The event included five local user presentations that perfectly displayed the relevance and applicability of the MIKE by DHI water simulation tools to address local water issues. The participants represented a broad spectrum of institutions and companies from the Mexican water sector and the event was concluded successfully. The following week, a similar DHI seminar on ‘Software and solutions for water environments’ was held at the Hotel Palma Real in San José, Costa Rica. This was the first of its kind in Costa Rica and was very well received.

FEFLOW training for government agencies in Chile

A significant portion of the topics were closely related to groundwater in mining. We would like to thank all participants for a fruitful week. Special thanks go to Robin Dufour (MWH) and Javier Gonzalez (Golder) for their support in training preparation and conduction.

We co-sponsored a course on marine metocean data modelling and analysis for DTU in Denmark

In January, we organised a high level training course for students from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and University of Copenhagen. As part of the Master's course, the students learned how to use our MIKE by DHI modelling software for offshore and coastal projects and prepared them for the offshore and coastal engineering challenges of tomorrow.

“The DHI master class has clearly increased the awareness of the importance of coastal engineering to our students,” said Jacob Hjelmager, Associate Professor at DTU.

Students taking part in the course on our premises in Hørsholm came from several countries, including Denmark, Austria, Lebanon, Egypt and Sweden. The course was an integral part of the research project ‘Marine structures for the future’.
