Abstract

Dam construction changes flow regime and stream morphology in the downstream reach. These affect the ecosystem of downstream reach. This study provides the assessment of the impact of dam construction on the downstream fish habitat. For this, physical habitat simulations are carried out. The quasi-steady model is used for hydraulic simulation, The hydraulic model used in the present study is capable of simulating the morphological change due to sediment transport. The change of the fish habitat condition is investigated using the flow scenarios before and after the dam construction. Simulation results indicate that the habitat suitability decreases frequently due to hydropeaking after dam construction. In addition, erosion is expected to occur in a reach downstream of dam. This is a long term effect due to the shut-down of sediment supply from the upstream reach.

댐의 건설은 유황의 변동과 유사의 흐름을 차단하기 때문에 하천의 수리학적 환경에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 댐의 건설이 댐 하류의 어류의 서식처에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위해 준정류 모형이 흐름모의에 사용되었으며, 물리 서식처 분석을 위해 HSI 모형을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 수리모형은 유사이송에 의한 이동상 모의가 가능하다. 유량 시나리오를 통해 댐 건설 전과 후의 피라미에 대한 어류 서식처 조건을 분석하였으며, 모의 결과 댐 건설 후 발전방류로 인하여 피라미의 서식처가 악화되는 빈도가 늘어났다. 또한 댐 하류로부터의 침식이 예측되었다. 이는 상류의 유사량 공급의 차단으로 인하여 나타나는 장기적인 변화이다.
