This interaction is vital for understanding the complex hydrologic impacts of land use and climate change particularly in an environment where the demand for water exceeds the availability of the resource.

Historically, surface water and groundwater were handled separately, both technically and institutionally. This may have performed well when considering each in isolation, but there is growing recognition that the interaction between surface water and groundwater needs to be managed integrally.

MIKE SHE is being recognised for its world leading capability in this area. This is justified by numerous independent reviews ranking MIKE SHE as the world's most comprehensive and scientifically sound model for surface water - groundwater interaction and its international use.
