On the subject of Yeoungsan River Yeoungbon c and Seumjin River Seumbon e site discussing as the measuring points of discharge and Quality by the Department of Environment, this study executes the tests of proprieties and examines the methods of flow measuring and assessment. The result of this study may summarize as belows. According to the hydrogeomorphological aspects and artificial effects, Yeoungbon c and Seumbon e site are not proper for the measuring points of the water levels. Also, the methods of river discharge measuring by the specific discharge method, first tried in this study, has an enough reliability which can be used to measure the site where is difficult to measure the flow directly or to select the representative site to measure on the up and downstream. In case of accumulating the specific discharge data throughout the flow observation by seasons and periods for a long time, these may be used to measure the flow as well.

Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) has been widely used to estimate the shear strength and coefficient of permeability for unsaturated soils. In general, it is divided into the drying path in which the water is discharged and the wetting path in which the water is permeated, and it has a hysteresis indicating different suctions at the same volumetric water content. In reality the field behavior of unsaturated soils is much closer to the wetting path during the infiltration. The drying path has been practically used for various analyses because obtaining the wetting path takes longer than the drying path. Although many approaches for estimating wetting path have been studied till now, these are complex and do not fit well. Therefore, a simple method for estimating wetting path based on empirical approach in this study is proposed in unsaturated soils, and a feasibility study is conducted as well.

A distributed model can easily obtain discharge at any grids spatially distributed in a watershed. But if there are subwatersheds which have various characteristics in a watershed, it is needed to apply a model calibrated at each subwatershed to obtain reliable simulation results for each subwatershed. In this study, a multi-site calibration module that can calibrate a distributed model at each subwatershed using observed flow data was developed. Methods to select multi-site calibration parameters, to apply subwatershed parameters, and to set subwatershed network information are suggested. Classes to implement multi-site calibration technique are designed and a GUI was developed, and procedures for runoff modelling using subwatershed parameters were established. Multi-site calibration module was applied to Sunsan watershed($977km^2$) of Nakdong river basin. Application results showed that the multi-site calibration technique could be applied effectively to model the calibration for each subwatershed, and the simulation results of subwatershed were improved by the application of multi-site calibration.

Soil erosion by rainfall is important factor for basin management because it reduces reservoir capacity and breaks out the contamination of water caused by turbid water. Recently, soil erosion study with GIS is in progress but does not consider soil erosion source area. This study calculated soil erosion amount using GIS-based soil erosion model in Imha basin and examined soil erosion source area using SPOT 5 High-resolution satellite image and land cover map. As a result of analysis, dry field showed high-density soil erosion area and we could easily investigate source area using satellite image. Also we could examine the suitability of soil erosion area by applying field survey method in common areas such as dry field and orchard area those are difficult to confirm soil erosion source area using satellite image.

In this research, a distributed rainfall-runoff model based on physical kinematic wave was developed to simulate temporal and spatial distribution of flood discharge considering grid rainfall and grid based hydrological information. The developed model can simulate temporal change and spatial distribution of surface flow and sub-surface flow during flood period, and input parameters of ASCII format as pre-process can be extracted using GIS such as ArcGIS and ArcView. Output results of ASCII format as post-process can be created to express distribution of discharge in the watershed using GIS. The Namgang Dam Watershed was divided into square grids of 500m resolution and calculated by kinematic wave into an outlet through channel networks to review capability of the developed model. The model displayed precise results to be compared to the hydrograph.

The soil moisture measurements and correlation analysis are presented to improve understanding the hydrological process at the hillslope scale. The rainfall events is a main driver of soil moisture variation, and its stochastic characteristic need to be properly treated prior to the correlation analysis between soil moisture measurements. Using field measurements for two designated periods during the late summer and autumn seasons in 2007 obtained from the Bumrunsa hillslope located at the Sulmachun watershed, prewhitened correlation analysis were performed for 8, 14, 7 and 7 relationships representing the vertical, lateral, recharge and return flows, for two designated periods, respectively. The analysis indicated both temporal and spatial variation patterns of hydrological processes, which can be explained by the relative contribution of matrix and macropore flows and the impact of transect topography, respectively.

전 세계적으로 기후변화에 따른 주기적인 가뭄 현상과 기상 이변으로 인해 물 부족 사태는 심각해져 가고 있으며(UNEP은 물 기근에 시달리는 세계 도시 곳곳에 사는 많은 사람들은 2000년 5억 명에서 2025년 40억 명까지 증가할 것이라고 추측하였다), 산업화 이후 인구의 증가와 산업의 발달에 따른 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위한 물의 수요 또한 증가하고 있는 추세다. 그러나 인간이 사용 가능한 수자원은 지구상에 존재하는 물의 3% 이내로 한정되어 있으며 산업발달 및 도시화에 따른 지표수의 바다로의 유출 또한 빨라져 지하수개발, 하수재이용, 인공강우 및 해수담수화 등의 대체수자원의 개발이 요구되는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 Global Water Intelligence(GWI)의 자료를 기초로 하여 중동 및 북아프리카 지역 20개 국가를 대상으로 생활 용수 자본지출 추세, 공업용수 수요 시장규모 성장추세, 이용가능한 수자원 및 그에 따른 사용 중인 수자원 비율, 2007년 기준 물 부족 인구, 2011년~2016년 물 부족 인구를 조사 및 분석하였다. 용도별 생활용수 공업 용수의 추세 분석 기간은 2008년부터 2016년까지 실시하였으며 평균 연감 증가 백분율 5%이상 국가를 선정하였다. 중동 및 북아프리카 지역 20개 국가 중 18개 국가가 생활용수 자본지출 연감 증가 백분율 5%이상의 높은 수요 전망을 보였으며, 공업용수 수요 시장 전망은 높은 성장성을 보이며 큰 규모의 주요 2개 국가가 선정되었다. 또한 20개 국가 각각의 이용 가능한 수자원 및 그에 따른 사용 중인 수자원 비율, 2006년 기준물 부족 인구, 2011~2016년 물 부족 인구를 조사한 결과 전체 20개 국가 모두 물 부족 국가로 산정되었으며, 20개 국가 모두 해안지역에 위치해 있어 해수담수화 시설의 건설 가능성이 높은 지역인 것을 확인하였다. 조사한 중동 및 북아프리카 지역 중 많은 수의 국가가 물 부족 현상에 시달리고 있으며 물 수요 시장 전망 또한 증가할 것으로 나타나 대체수자원의 필요성은 증대될 것으로 판단되며 그에 따라 본 연구는 향후 국내 기업들이 세계 해수담수화 시장에 진출하는데 있어 진출 전략 마련에 기초가 될 것이라고 판단된다.

기상변화와 지구온난화로 인해 국지성 호우의 강도와 빈도가 늘어나고 있으며 이로 인해 소양강, 도암댐, 임하댐 유역의 탁수 문제 등, 토양 유실에 관한 문제가 심각해지고 있다. 정확한 토양 유실 모의를 위하여 지난 수 십 년간 Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) 등의 모형이 사용되었지만 이러한 모형들에 관한 연구 중 강한 집중 호우에 의해 발생하는 걸리 침식(Gully Erosion)을 적용한 경우는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 및 유사량 산정을 위하여 입력자료가 간단하고 ArcView GIS를 기반으로 융합이 가능한 Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) system, nLS, Unit Stream Power-based Erosion/Deposition (USPED) 연계 모형을 개발하여 강원도 양구군 해안면 유역에 적용하였다. 기존 SATEEC system에서는 강우 시 유역에서 발생하는 면상 침식(Sheet Erosion), 세류 침식(Rill Erosion)의 모의만이 가능하였지만, 본 연구에서 개발한 연계모형에서는 nLS 모형을 이용한 걸리 헤드 발생 지역 선정과 USPED 모형을 이용한 걸리 발생 지역에서의 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하기 때문에, 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하다. 연계 모형의 모의 결과 해안면 유역의 최종 유출구에서 발생하는 평균 유사량은 101,933 ton/year 로 산정 되었다. 토양 유실량과 유사량을 모의함에 있어, 면상, 세류, 걸리 침식을 종합적으로 고려해야 실제 지형에서 발생하는 토양 유실량 및 유사량을 좀 더 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 것이며, 본 연구에서 개발된 연계 모형을 이용한다면 실제 유역에서 발생하는 여러 형태의 토양 유실을 모의 할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
