Abstract
The purpose of this study was to monitor the streamflow of rural streams for investigating the status of stream depletion located downstream of irrigation reservoir. Bonghyun and Hi reservoirs area, located in Gyeongnam, Gosung-gun, Hi-myeon, were selected for study watersheds and streams. Streamflow monitoring were conducted 6 times during the paddy growing season of 2010 from May to October. Streamflow was measured for 18 stations downstream from two reservoirs with the interval of 300m to 500m, The amount of streamflow were highly dependent on the antecedent precipitation and irrigation amount. In most observation stations, streamflow was depleted when precipitation and irrigation were not provided. Pumping from stream for irrigation and water supply for factory and irrigation return flow were also factors on streamflow. Continuous monitoring for rural streams located in downstream of reservoirs are required to quantify the status of streamflow depletion and determine the amount of environmental flows.
