최근의 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 인하여 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 극한 사상의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 가뭄은 장기간에 걸쳐 피해를 유발시키는 대표적인 자연재해 중의 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가뭄의 크기와 정도를 정량화 할 수 있는 가뭄빈도해석을 수행하였다. 가뭄빈도해석을 위하여 우리나라의 61개 지점을 대상으로 EDI 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 일별로 산정된 EDI 지수를 이용하여 연도별로 최저값을 추출하였다. 추출된 EDI 자료를 이용하여 빈도해석을 수행하였다. 빈도해석은 복합 확률 분포형 등의 장점을 갖고 있는 경계핵밀도함수를 이용하여 수행하였다. 분석 결과에서 재현기간 5년 내지 10년에서 극단적으로 건조함을 나타내는 가뭄지수인 -2.0 이하의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 가뭄은 평균적으로 재현기간 5년에서 10년 사이에 반복적으로 발생할 수 있다. 그러므로 가뭄에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 시스템의 구축과 가뭄피해를 최소화 할 수 있도록 해야 한다.

In this study, frequency analysis using drought index had implemented for the derivation of drought severity-duration-frequency (SDF) curves to enable quantitative evaluations of past historical droughts having been occurred in Korean Peninsular. Seoul, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, and Busan weather stations were selected and precipitation data during 1974~2010 (37 years) was used for the calculation of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) and frequency analysis. Based on the results of goodness of fit test on the probability distribution, Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) was selected as most suitable probability distribution for the drought frequency analysis using SPI. This study can suggest return periods for historical major drought events by using newrly derived SDF curves for each stations. In case of 1994~1995 droughts which had focused on southern part of Korea. SDF curves of Gwangju weather station showed 50~100 years of return period and Busan station showed 100~200 years of return period. Besides, in case of 1988~1989 droughts, SDF of Seoul weather station were appeared as having return periods of 300 years.

The drought is generally characterized by duration and severity, thus it is required to conduct the bivariate frequency analysis simultaneously considering the drought duration and severity. However, since a bivariate joint probability distribution function (JPDF) has a 3-dimensional space, it is difficult to interpret the results in practice. In order to suggest the technical solution, this study employed copula functions to estimate an JPDF, then developed conditional JPDFs on various drought durations and estimated the critical severity corresponding to non-exceedance probability. Based on the historical severe drought events, the hydrologic risks were investigated for various extreme droughts with 95% non-exceedance probability. For the drought events with 10-month duration, the most hazardous areas were decided to Gwangju, Inje, and Uljin, which have 1.3-2.0 times higher drought occurrence probabilities compared with the national average. In addition, it was observed that southern regions were much higher drought prone areas than northern and central areas.

Drought is one of the severe natural disasters and it can profoundly affect our society and ecosystem. Also, it is a very important variable for water resources planning and management. Therefore, the drought is analyzed in this study to understand the drought distribution and trend. The Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) is estimated using precipitation data obtained from 55 rain gauge stations in South Korea and the SPI based drought variables such as drought duration and drought severity were defined. Drought occurrence and joint probabilistic analysis for SPI based drought variables were performed with run theory and copula functions. And then the return period and spatial distribution of droughts on the South Korea was estimated. As the results, we have shown that Gongju and Chungju in Chungcheong-do and Wonju, Inje, Jeongseon, Taebeak in Gangwon-do have vulnerability to droughts.

To quantitatively investigate the nationwide drought characteristics and to comparatively evaluate the 1994-1995 drought with several past droughts of significant magnitude regional frequency analysis is made for the meteorological stations in each of the 47 subbasins covering the whole nation. With monthly precipitation data for the period of records at the stations in each subbasin low precipitation data series of various durations are formulated with the running totals of monthly data and fitted to probability distributions. The method of L-method of L-moments is used to determine the unbiased parameters of each distribution, and using the best-fit distribution for each subbasin the low precipitations of various durations with return periods of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 years are estimated. The drought frequency maps are drawn with the low drought frequency analysis the drought of 1994-1995 is evaluated in its severity and areal extent in comparison with four other past drought of significance. The current practice of safety standards for the design of impounding facilities is also evaluated with reference to the recurrence interval of the severe drought, and a recommendation is made for the future design standard.

가뭄은 홍수와 더불어 매우 심각한 자연재해이며, 그 특성상 광역적이고 장기간 발생함에 따라 구체적인 발생시점, 규모, 범위 등을 규명하기가 어렵다. 그동안 가뭄관리 기관에서는 가뭄의 특성을 규명하고자 가뭄 지수를 활용하여 발생시점, 발생빈도, 피해규모, 범위 등을 정량적으로 분석해 왔다. 그러나 가뭄특성은 가뭄 지수의 해석방법 및 판단기준에 따라 다르게 나타나는 문제가 있다. 또한, 대부분 가뭄지수가 단일 기상(강수, 기온 등) 및 수문(유출량, 토양수분량, 증발산량 등)정보 기반으로 산정됨에 따라 대상지역의 가뭄특성을 적절히 고려하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 지역적 가뭄특성을 명확히 나타내기 위해서는 단일변수 기반의 가뭄지수의 활용보다는 두 개 이상의 변수가 고려된 가뭄지수를 활용하는 방안이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 강수량 및 토양수분량 기반의 이변량 결합가뭄지수(Bivariate Joint Drought Index, BJDI)를 산정하고 기존 단일변수(강수량, 토양수분량)에 의한 가뭄지수와 함께 지역별 가뭄특성을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 강수량은 1977~2012년 동안의 기상청 관할 59개 기상관측소 자료, 토양수분량은 지표수문해석모형으로 부터 산정한 결과를 이용하였다. 59개 지점에 대한 SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index), SSI(Standardized Precipitation Index) 및 BJDI를 산정하였다. 또한, 지점별, 가뭄지수별 빈도해석을 통해 재현기간을 산정하고 과거 가뭄피해사례를 바탕으로 가뭄특성을 정량적으로 비교 및 분석하였다. 그 결과, 재현기간은 동일한 심도일지라도 SPI, SSI, BJDI 순으로 BJDI가 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 지역별로는 중부지역이 높고, 남부지역에서는 낮게 산정되었다.

가뭄관리에서 가장 중요한 요소는 1) 강수량, 지표수, 지하수, 댐수, 토양수분 등 물 공급량의 시 공간적 모니터링과 2) 이용가능한 물 공급량 약화 정도에 따라 적시적소에 물 이용자가 취해야할 행동요령을 제시하는 것이다. 가뭄지수는 가뭄관리에서 종합적인 물 공급량 정보를 하나의 수치로 정량화하여 가용 수자원의 악화정도를 나타내어 가뭄경보의 기준으로 활용된다. 현재까지 개발된 대표적인 가뭄지수들은 PDSI(Palmer Drought Severity Index), SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index), SWSI(Surface Water Supply Index) 등이 있다. PDSI는 여러 가지 제한점을 가지고 있지만 가뭄지수 개발의 시발점이 되었다는 점에서 전세계적으로 이용하고 있고 국내에서도 기상청의 공식적인 가뭄지수로 발표되고 있다. PDSI는 복잡한 물수지 모형에 의해 산정되며, 이용되는 매개변수는 지역의 기후상황, 보정자료기간 등에 민감하게 작용하고 있으나 이들에 대한 국내기후 환경에서의 평가가 선행되어 있지 않고 있다. PDSI는 가뭄과 습윤 기간의 시작과 종료 시점을 확률적으로 산정하여 이를 기반으로 가뭄경보에 활용하고 있다. 또한, 이들 확률은 기상학적 가뭄상황을 나타내는 PDSI에 후행하는 하천유출, 저수지 수위, 지하수 등의 수문학적 가뭄을 표현하는 PHDI(Palmer Hydrological Drought Index)를 산정하는 데 이용된다. Z-지수 역시 PDSI에서 얻을 수 있는 가뭄지수로 단기간의 가뭄특성에 의한 농업가뭄을 표현하는 데 적합한 지수로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 PDSI의 제한점들을 살펴보고 우리나라의 기후상황, 자료보정기간 등에 따른 PDSI의 제매개변수들을 재산정하여 계산된 PDSI의 변동성을 검토한 후 이를 Palmer(1965)가 제시한 PDSI 산정식과 비교 평가하였다. 또한 가뭄의 시작과 종료 확률 개념에 의하여 산정된 PDSI를 기상청에서 제공하고 있는 PDSI와 비교 분석하여 개선점을 도출하였다.

A drought event is characterized by duration, severity and affected area. In general, after calculating a drought index using hydro-meteorological time series at a station, a drought event is defined based on the run theory to identify the beginning and end time. However, this one-dimensional analysis has limitations for analyzing the spatio-temporal occurrence characteristics and movement paths of drought. Therefore, this study is to define a three-dimensional drought event using a simple clustering algorithm and to develop a drought map that can be used to understand the drought severity according to the spatio-temporal expansion of drought. As a result, compared with the two-dimensional monitoring information to show spatial distribution of drought index, a proposed drought map is able to show three-dimensional drought characteristics inclusing drought duration, spatial cumulative severity, and centroid of drought. The analysis of drought map indicated that there was a drought event which had the affected area less than 10 % while on occations while there were 11 drought events (44 %) which had the affected area more a than 90 % of the total area. This means that it is important to understand the relationship between spatial variation of drought affected area and severity corresponding to various drought durations. The development of drought map based on three-dimensional drought analysis is useful to analyze the spatio-temporal occurrence characteristics and propagation patterns of regional drought which can be utilized in developing mitigation measures for future extreme droughts.

This study analyzed the peak time of drought severity and drought period using meteorological and hydrological drought indices. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) using rainfall data was used for meteorological drought and Streamflow Drought Index (SDI) and Standardized Streamflow Index (SSI) using streamflow data were used for the hydrological drought. This study was applied to the Cheongmicheon watershed which is a mixture area for rural and urban regions. The rainfall data period used in this study is 32.5 years (January of 1985~June of 2017) and the corresponding streamflow was simulated using SWAT. After the drought indices were calculated using the collected data, the characteristics of drought were analyzed by time series distribution of the calculated drought indices. Based on the results of the this study, it can be seen that hydrological drought occurs after meteorological drought. The difference between SDI and SPI peak occurrence time, difference in drought start date and average drought duration is greater than SSI and SPI. In general, SSI shows more severe than SDI. Therefore, various drought indices should be used at the identification of drought characteristics.

The objective of this study is to derive and evaluate the drought threshold level based on hydro-meteorological data using historical drought events. After collecting the drought events during 1991 to 2009 year, the observed meteorological data and estimated hydrological component from LSM are used as input for the percentile analysis that is drought analysis data. The drought threshold level that precipitation and runoff of 3 month duration are less than 35%, soil moisture of 2 month duration is less than 35% and evapotranspiration of 3 month duration is more than 65% is derived using ROC analysis that are objective test method. ROC analysis with SPI (3) is performed to evaluate the applicability of threshold level in the domestic. As a result, it can be concluded that the derived drought threshold level show better performance to reflect the historical drought events than SPI (3) and it reasonably explain the spatial drought situation through the spatial analysis.
