**MOUSE**, short for MOdel for Urban SEwers, is a [computer program](/source/Computer_program) that models collection system for urban wastewater and stormwater. MOUSE is the first micro-computer based software created by [DHI](/source/DHI_Water_%26_Environment) and it was developed in 1983. The MOUSE engine is used in the CS - Pipeflow module of the hydraulic modeling software MIKE URBAN.[1]

## Applications

MOUSE can be used for analysing CSOs and SSOs, evaluating RDII, network capacity and bottlenecks, predicting local [flooding](/source/Flooding), estimating sediment build-up and transport, optimization and design of RTC solutions, analysing water quality and sediment problems, and real-time modeling embedded in RTC solutions.
