DHI Water & Environment is a research and consulting organisation developing and applying advanced methods and technologies within hydraulic and water resources engineering. DHI's main business areas are consultant services, software tools and model test facilities related to offshore, coastal, port, river, water resources, urban hydraulics and environmental engineering. DHI is known for developing the MIKE series of numerical modelling software. Since the establishment in 1964, projects have been undertaken in more than 120 countries. It was an early stakeholder (2004) in AquaDania, a Roskilde, Denmark-based company that has developed an efficient, localised water purification system aimed at providing clean drinking water to remote and arid regions of the world.
DHI Water & Environment took its current form after the October 2005 merger of DHI with the Danish Toxicology Centre (DTC). Five years earlier DHI had merged with VKI, the Institute for Water and Environment.
