Abstract	Integrated hydrological modelling has become an essential tool in watershed management, with two fundamental roles. The first is to improve the understanding of the physical, chemical and biological processes in a watershed and the way they interact. The second, more practical role is to use this understanding to manage and protect water resources and the water environment. This paper presents the evolution of the MIKE SHE catchment modelling framework from a hydrological research code based on the 1969 blueprint of Freeze and Harlan, to the flexible, engineering and research water management framework it is today. This evolution is illustrated by several examples that highlight the changing needs of water resource management at the catchment scale. It traces this evolution from the first applications in Europe and India when MIKE SHE was initially developed 30 years ago to the most recent applications in modelling the complex surface water groundwater interactions in Florida, USA and exploiting remote sensing in data-sparse regions in Africa. Hydrological modelling continues to evolve towards higher resolution and integrating more complex phenomena, such as ecological conditions and climate effects. Fortunately, this is supported by parallel trends in computational resources (e.g. parallel processing, distributed computing) and software capabilities (e.g. OpenMI for linking models). Yet, modelling issues related to scale effects, subgrid processes and interpreting sparse data sets remain unresolved.
