Abstract

A calibrated hydrological model is a useful tool for quantifying the impacts of the climate variations and land use/land cover changes on sediment load, water quality and runoff. In the rainy season each year, the Xe Bang Fai river basin is provisionally flooded because of typhoons, the frequency and intensity of which are sensitive to ongoing climate change. Severe heavy rainfall has continuously occurred in this basin area, often causing severe floods at downstream of the Xe Bang Fai river basin. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the climate change impact on river discharge using a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model based on future climate change scenarios. In this study, the simulation of hydrological river discharge is used by SWAT model, covering a total area of $10,064km^2$ in the central part of country. The hydrological model (baseline) is calibrated and validated for two periods: 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, respectively. The monthly simulation outcomes during the calibration and validation model are good results with $R^2$ > 0.9 and ENS > 0.9. Because of ongoing climate change, three climate models (IPSL CM5A-MR 2030, GISS E2-R-CC 2030 and GFDL CM3 2030) indicate that the rainfall in this area is likely to increase up to 10% during the summer monsoon season in the near future, year 2030. As a result of these precipitation increases, the SWAT model predicts rainy season (Jul-Aug-Sep) river discharge at the Xebangfai@bridge station will be about $800m^3/s$ larger than the present. This calibrated model is expected to contribute for preventing flood disaster risk and sustainable development of Laos

보정된 수문모델은 기후변화와 지표피복변화가 하천의 유량과 수질, 그리고 하천퇴적물의 양에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 파악할 수 있는 수단이 된다. 라오스 중부에 위치한 시방파이(Xe Bang Fai) 유역($10,064km^2$)은 태풍의 영향권에 놓여 있으며, 여름철은 높은 강우강도로 인해 매년 주기적인 범람의 위험을 안고 있다. 특히 현재 진행되고 있는 기후변화로 인해 태풍의 빈도와 강도가 크게 변할 것으로 예상되기 때문에 홍수로 인한 피해의 위험성은 점차 높아지고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) 모델을 이용하여 예상되는 기후변화 시나리오에 따라 하천유량에 미치는 영향을 예측하는 것이다. 이 연구에서 SWAT 모델은 2001년과 2005년 사이 기후 및 유량자료를 통해 보정하였으며, 2006년과 2010년의 예측치와 실측치 비교를 통해 검증하였다. 모의한 월별 유량과 실제 측정된 유량간의 일치도는 $R^2$ 값이 0.9(ENS>0.9)를 넘어 모델의 예측력이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 세 개의 기후모델(IPSL CM5A-MR 2030, GISS E2-R-CC 2030 and GFDL CM3 2030)은 현재 진행되고 있는 기후변화로 인해 가까운 미래인 2030년에는 여름 몬순기간 동안 강우량이 약 10% 증가할 것으로 예측된다. 이 경우 우기인 7월과 9월 사이 시방파이 다리 부근에서 관측되는 하천의 유량은 현재보다 약 $800m^3/s$ 정도 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 이 연구에서 보정된 SWAT 모델은 향후 홍수저감과 라오스의 지속가능한 발전정책의 수립에 효과적으로 사용될 것으로 기대된다.
