Application of MIKESHE model in water environmental management for Guishui River Basin

In order to comprehensively analyse hydrological environment system of watershed, it is particularly important to couple the surface water and groundwater for better underding the entire hydrologic cycle. Guishui river basin, located in Beijing, was selected as the research area to build a MIKE SHE hydrological integrated model to simulate the surface runoff. The hydrologic response in the Guishui river basin was explored. This study will enrich the experience of the domestic application about MIKESHE model and provided scientific basis for regional water resources planning and management. In the paper, the development process and present research situation of integrated hydrological models were overviewed, concluding the principle of model structure. Considering the water environment issues in the study area (such as water pollution, water resource utilization, watershed underlying surface, climate change, etc.), the integrated hydrological model was setup based on MIKESHE for the simulation year of 2005 to 2010. The preliminary results showed that it is feasibile to apply the MIKESHE model in the study area for water environmental management. Furthermore, some valued suggestions and perspectives about the water environmental problems in the study for the future were provided.
