MIKE OPERATIONS Flood Forecasting

DHI is a water environment technology group with a Hoersholm, Denmark address on its site. MIKE OPERATIONS is its development and operational management platform for building custom real-time forecasting and control systems for rivers, urban drainage networks and treatment plants.

The platform collects real-time data from sensors, runs models such as MIKE+ and supports no-code web apps, what-if scenarios and Python scripting. A DHI decision support system for Thailand's HAII forecasts water levels and discharges at 28 locations up to seven days ahead. The MIKE 2026 release adds flood raster generation and data assimilation for real-time flood forecasting.

• Real-time data ingestion: collects sensor and external data to monitor system performance.
• No-code web apps: dashboards, shared results and what-if scenarios without web developers.
• Model integration: MIKE+ and FEFLOW adapters for rivers and urban drainage.
• Scripting: Python 3 and GitHub-integrated Script Manager.
• Flood mapping: Create Flood Raster tool and data assimilation for real-time forecasting.

Provincial hydrometeorological and irrigation agencies can run river flood forecasts with reservoir operation scenarios. Hydropower operators can combine inflow forecasts with release planning. Urban drainage companies can forecast overflow in rainy season.

Custom forecasting systems can be built without web developers using the no-code web platform. Seven-day forecast horizons were delivered in the Thailand project. Integration with SCADA, GitHub and cloud APIs fits existing operations. Flood mapping tools turn model results into high-resolution flood rasters.

Basin authorities in Southeast Asia are moving from offline hydraulic models to operational forecasting systems linked to telemetry. Vietnam's Mekong and central river basins need such decision-support tools, as shown by the Thailand and Mekong projects listed by DHI.
