Abstract

Continuous and accurate instrument of river water usage is needed for sustainable river water management. Although the instrument methods applicable to each point of use of river water are different, more precise direct instrument methods are required at the point of major open channel. Users of river water should select appropriate direct instrument methods to measure usage, but there is a lack of standards and verification research. In this study, the H-Q rating curve method, ultrasonic method, and microwave method were applied directly to the test basin in the upper basin of Mangyeong river, and the accuracy of measurement data was evaluated by comparing absolute error between discharge data calculated by instrument method. When comparing the calculated discharge of point units, the ultrasonic method showed the best results of the actual measurement. Through continuous instrument, the sum of the daily and monthly units was compared, and the ultrasonic and microwave methods were shown to be highly accurate. Based on the results of this study, it is hoped that the appropriate direct measurement method can be selected according to the importance of the river water use facility, considering that the ultrasonic method and the microwave method are relatively costly compared to the water level-flow relationship method.

지속가능한 하천수 관리를 위해서는 연속적이고 정확한 하천수 사용량 계측자료가 필요하다. 하천수 사용지점별로 적용가능한 계측 방법이 상이하나, 일정규모 이상의 주요 개수로 지점에서는 보다 정밀한 직접 계측방법이 요구된다. 하천수 사용자는 사용량 계측을 위해 적정한 직접 계측방법을 선정해야 하는데, 이에 대한 표준 및 검증 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 상류의 시험유역에 직접 계측방법인 수위-유량관계법, 초음파법, 전자파법을 적용하였고, 계측방법별로 산정된 유량자료간의 절대오차 비교를 통해 계측자료의 정확도를 비교 평가하였다. 점단위 산정유량 비교시 초음파법이 실측값에 가장 근사한 결과를 보였다. 연속적인 계측을 통해 일단위와 월단위의 총량을 비교하였고, 초음파법과 전자파법이 정확도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 초음파법과 전자파법이 수위-유량관계법에 비해 비교적 높은 비용이 투입되는 것을 감안하여 하천수 사용시설의 중요도에 따라 적정한 직접 계측방법을 선정할 수 있기를 기대한다.
