Abstract

The multiple flow direction algorithm to calculate the spatial variation of the saturation tendency, i.e. topographic index, is integrated into the Geogrphic Information System, GRASS. A procedure is suggested to consider the effect of a tile system on calculating the topographic index. A small agricultural subwatershed (3.4$\textrm{km}^2$) is used for this study. The impact of a tile system on the groundwater table can be effectively considered by the Laplace's equation to the DEM. The analysis shows that a tile system has a high degree of saturation compared to the case without tile drainage, and the predicted riparian area is well fitted to the actual watershed condition. A procedure is suggested to consider the effect of tile system on calculating the topographic index.

포화도의 공간적 변화인 지형지수를 계산하기 위한 다중흐름을 알고리즘이 지형정보시스템인 GRASS와 연계되어 개발되었다. 본 연구는 3.4$\textrm{km}^2$의 소농경지 배수구역에 대하여 적용하였다. 지하수위에 대한 타일 시스템의 영향이 DEM 모형과 Laplace식에 의해서 효과적으로 고려 될 수 있었다. 본 연구결과, 타일 시스템을 고려한 유역은 타일 시스템을 고려하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 높은 포화도를 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 예측된 riparian 유역은 실제의 유역조건과 잘 일치되고 있었다. 본 연구에서는 지형지수를 산정함에 있어 타일 시스템의 효과를 고려해야 함을 제안하였다.
