Dear Partner!

Hopefully, everyone of you had a pleasant holiday season, and you're back at speed, looking for new professional challenges this year.

For the time being, we didn't have too much snow here in Hungary, but there is plenty of snow in the mountains surrounding the country. This means that we may face a challenging period during the spring in terms of flood control. This is not an easy challenge, so we would like to draw your attention on two pieces of software that we didn't talk too much about so far. MIKE 11 and MIKE SHE have proven track records in hundreds of consultancy and
research applications around the world, many of these dealing with flood
risk assessment and alleviation design.

 RBCA Tool Kit v.2.0
Version v.2.0 of  the popular risk assessment tool RBCA Tool Kit for Chemical Releases was released, including new features that allow for a more detailed and more accurate analysis. The user friendliness of the program was also greatly improved. Here is just a small sample of the main improvements:
  • Extended exposure pathway options
  • User friendliness and flexibility enhancements
  • Extended and updated chemical database
  • Expanded fate and transport models
  • Improved Save/Load Options for Chemical-Specific Input Parameters

The price for upgrading from version v.1.x is €281. A brand new license costs €623.

 MIKE 11 & MIKE SHE
In our previous newsletter we mentioned about the possibility to perform conjunctive surface water groundwater modeling using Visual MODFLOW Pro or Premium and MIKE 11. We would now like to draw your attention on the MIKE Zero family of models that is a suite of water resources and hydrologic modeling tools. MIKE Zero is composed of the following programs: MIKE 11, MIKE SHE, MIKE Basin, MIKE 21 C, MIKE Flood and a series of utilities. These programs may be used as independent models or in conjunction depending on the complexity of the modeling task.

MIKE 11 is an industry standard for simulating flow and water level, water quality and sediment transport in rivers, flood plains, irrigation canals, reservoirs and other inland water bodies. Typical applications include:

  • Flood risk analysis and alleviation design;
  • Real-time flood forecasting;
  • Dam break analysis;
  • Optimization of reservoir and canal gate / structure operations;
  • Ecological and water quality assessments in rivers, reservoirs and wetlands;
  • Real-time water quality forecasting and pollutant tracking;
  • Sediment transport and river morphology;
  • Salinity intrusion in rivers and estuaries;
  • Integrated surface water and groundwater and water analysis

MIKE SHE is a dynamic, user-friendly modeling tool that can simulate the entire land phase of the hydrologic cycle. Typical applications include:

  • Surface water impact from groundwater withdrawal
  • Conjunctive use of groundwater and surface water
  • Wetland management and restoration
  • River basin management and planning
  • Environmental impact assessments
  • Aquifer vulnerability mapping with dynamic recharge and surface water boundaries
  • Groundwater management
  • Floodplain studies
  • Impact studies for changes in land use and climate
  • Impact studies of agricultural practices including irrigation, drainage and nutrient and pesticide management with DAISY

These two programs are useful tools either by themselves or in conjunction. They share the same user interface (MIKE Zero) that also enhances their conjunctive use and assures compatibility.

Our website includes detailed descriptions of each program. You may also download from there (or from from here) the demo versions, which in fact are full featured evaluation versions of the programs (some inherent limitations are included in order to avoid software piracy).

You may look at the prices of the different package versions and modules by downloading the MIKE 11 prices and the MIKE SHE prices pdf files.

 

 Visual MODFLOW v.4.2 update
Schlumberger Water Services (SWS) has announced a maintenance release for its flagship product, Visual MODFLOW Premium v.4.2. This latest release (version 4.2.0.1.5.3) now includes important updates to the numerical flow and transport engines. The main significance of the update is the inclusion of the MODFLOW 2005 engine. Those registered users who have active Maintenance on this product may request instructions on how to apply for the update at the following contacts: info@jaketa.hu or sws-support@slb.com
 Tip of the Month
A few tips on how to consere water indoors:
  • Install low-flow toilets
  • Repair dripping faucets and toilets(one drop per second is equivalent with 10 m3 per year).
  • Choose appliances that are water and energy-efficient
  • Never por water down the drain when there may be another use for it such as water your indoor plants or garden
  • Don't run faucet when you're not using the water, such as while brushing your teeth.

Don't forget that almost three-quarters of water used inside the home occurs in the bathroom, with 41% used for toilet flushing and 33 percent for bathing.
