유역 통합 수자원 환경관리 시스템 내의 유출예측모듈인 RRFS를 통한 유출예측결과의 신뢰도 개선을 위해 ESP 기법을 금강유역에 적용하였다. 시나리오를 통해 생성된 유출예측 앙상블을 이용하여 50%의 확률값을 적용하여 본 결과 우리나라의 실정에 맞지 않아 예측의 결과를 적용하기 힘들고 수자원 관리의 정보로서 활용하기 힘들기 때문에 통계적인 분석을 통하여 정확도가 개선된 발생확률을 제시하기 위하여 본 연구를 수행하였다. 금강유역을 용담, 대청, 공주 지점으로 나눈 뒤, 유출량의 확률 예보를 위하여 '83년$\sim$'07년까지 25년간의 강우자료와 온도자료를 RRFS에 적용하여 '07년의 매월 25개의 유출 시나리오를 생성하였다. 생성된 유출 시나리오에서 Case별로 ESP확률을 산정하였다. 통계분석을 통해 얻어진 월별 ESP 확률분포를 이용하여 '02년부터 '07년까지 과거 실측 월별 유출량에 대한 ESP 확률범위를 결정하였고 년강수량의 2/3가 홍수기인 $6{\sim}9$월 사이에 집중되는 우리나라의 특성을 고려해 이수기(1월$\sim$6월 그리고 10월$\sim$12월)와 홍수기(7월$\sim$9월)로 분리한 후 각각에 대한 ESP 확률 값을 최종적으로 결정하였다. Case별로 '07년 금강유역에 적용한 결과, Case 2로 산정된 ESP확률 값이 다른 Case에 비해 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다. Case 1 큰 오차가 나는 ESP 확률을 제외한 평균 ESP확률의 적용, Case 2 월별 최소 오차가 나는 ESP확률의 적용, Case 3 Case2의 월별 ESP확률을 이수기 홍수기로 평균한 ESP확률 적용, Case 4 분기별 최소 오차가 나는 ESP확률의 적용, Case 5 Case4의 분기별 ESP확률을 이수기 홍수기로 평균한 ESP확률의 적용.

농림부는 농업지역에서 발생하는 비점오염원을 관리하기 위해 다양한 최적관리기법(BMP)에 대해 연구를 수행하여 효과를 검증하였으나 이를 광역 단위로 보급하여 실제 영농지역에서 BMP의 효과를 측정한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 논 지역을 대상으로 물관리기술(물꼬)과 시비관리기술(완효성 비료) BMP를 보급하고 광역 단위로 BMP의 효과를 측정하고자 하였다. 연구대상지구는 새만금 지역에 위치한 전라북도 부안군 용계리 일대에 위치하고 있으며, 벼농사가 활발하게 이루어지고 있는 지역을 선정하였다. 논에 보급된 BMP의 효과를 측정하기 위해 BMP 참여 농가를 선정하여 물꼬와 완효성 비료를 보급하였으며, 용수로와 배출구 3지점을 선정하여 관개량을 측정하고 유출량을 측정하였다. 또한 관개수와 대조구, 처리구별(대조구, 물꼬, 완효성, 물꼬+완효성) 수질을 분석하여 배출구 별로 단위면적당 오염부하량을 산정하고 이를 통해 대조구 대비 처리구의 저감율을 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 대조구 대비 처리구의 단위면적당 오염부하량의 저감율은 SS 63.6%, BOD 45.5%, $COD_{Mn}$ 26.5%, $COD_{Cr}$ 40.1%, T-N 16.0%, T-P 12.9%, TOC 11.4%로 나타났다. 또한 연구대상지구를 SO#1(완효성 비료 95%, 비참여 농가 5%), SO#2(완효성 비료 2%, 물꼬 8%, 완효성 비료+물꼬 40%, 비참여 농가 40%), SO#M(완효성 비료 96%, 비참여 농가 4%) 3개의 배출구로 구분하여 BMP 보급 효과를 측정한 결과, 대조구 대비 SO#1에서는 수질항목별로 10.6 ~ 85.5%, SO#2는 8.1 ~ 45.9%, SO#M은 10.7 ~ 86.2%의 범위로 저감된 것으로 분석되었으며, 특히 SS의 단위면적당 오염부하 저감율이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 본 연구는 7월부터 10월까지 측정된 데이터를 활용하여 산정하였기 때문에 써레질, 이앙기간에 발생한 단위면적당 오염부하량은 포함되지 않은 결과이며, 각 배수구역별 유입량의 경우 정확한 측정에 어려움이 있어 전체 관개량 대비 관개 면적을 이용하여 단위면적당 유입량을 산정하였기 때문에 추가적인 연구를 통해 효과를 검증할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Buffer zones, an example of nature-based solutions, offer wide range of environmental, social and economic benefits due to their multifunctionality when applied to watershed areas promoting blue-green connectivity. This study evaluated the effects of buffer zone application to the water quality of Yongdam reservoir tributaries. Particularly, the challenges and improvement of the buffer zone design were identified and suggested, respectively. Water and soil samples were collected from a total of six sites in Yongdam reservoir from September 2021 to April 2022. Water quality analyses revealed that among the sites monitored, downstream of Sangjeonmyeon Galhyeonri (SG_W_D2) was found to have the highest concentration for water quality parameters turbidity, total suspended solids (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN). This finding was attributed to the algal bloom observed during the sampling conducted in September and October 2021. It was found through the soil analyses that high TN and TP concentrations were also observed in all the agricultural land uses implying that nutrient accumulation in agricultural areas are high. Highest TN concentration was found in the agricultural area of Jeongcheonmyeon Wolpyeongri (JW_S_A) followed by Jucheonmyeon Sinyangri (JS_S_A) while the lowest TN concentration was found in the original soil of Sangjeonmyeon Galhyeonri (SG_S_O). Among the types of buffer zones identified in this study, Type II-A, Type II-B and Type III were found to have blue-green connectivity. However, initially, blue-green connectivity in these buffer zone types were not considered leading to poor design and poor performance. As such, improvement in the design considering blue-green network and renovation must be considered to optimize the performance of these buffer zones. The findings in this study is useful for designing buffer zones in the future.

The pollen analysis was performed targeting the valley plain alluvium of Jangjae-ri, Asan area in order to clarify the climate and vegetation environment of the Last glacial maximum and the Late glacial in terms of Gokgyo River Watershed In Asan-City, Korea. The sample collection point gets included in the current deciduous broadleaf forest zone (south cool temperate zone). The results are as follows. (1) The vegetation environment of about 19,300-14,100yrB.P. at the investigation area is mainly classified into YJ-I period and YJ-II period while YJ-Ia period is classified once again into YJ-Ia period and YJ-Ib period. YJ-Ia period (19,300-17,500yrB.P.) is correlated with the Last Glacial Maximum while the vegetation at the time has relatively a little wide distribution area of grassland compared to the forest and the forest vegetation of this time period is the mixed conifer and deciduous broad-leaved forest. YJ-Ib period (15,400-14,750yrB.P.) is correlated with the Late glacial (or the Last Glacial Maximum) and the distribution area of grassland became wider compared to the forest. While the forest vegetation of this time period is the mixed conifer and deciduous broad-leaved forest, a difference exists in terms of the dominant tree species. YJ-II period (about 14,650-14,100yrB.P.) is correlated with the Last glacial while the distribution area of grassland became even wider than the forest compared to the YJ-Ib in case of the vegetation at the time and the forest vegetation of this time period is the coniferous forest. (2) Both YJ-I period and YJ-II period were relatively cold and dry compared the End of Late Glacial (about 12,000-10,000yrB.P.)~Early Holocene (10,000-8,500yrB.P.), Also, YJ-II period was relatively colder than the YJ-I period and the YJ-Ib period was relatively more humid than the YJ-Ia period.

The biggest factor in the success of breeding animals is selection of foods, which is determined by quality and quantity of habitats(Newton, 2003), in the case of This high biomass wetlands as an indicator of ecosystem function about Common Kestrel's choice of hunting area is expected to be an important clue of quality and quantity of habitats. For this study, it is divided into four types(Glasslands, Paddy fields, Dry fields, Rparian land) about Common Kestrel's hunting area in Yugu-eup, Gongju-si, Chungcheongnam-do, Recorded the behavior of Common Kestrel for three years during the breeding season from March to June(2014~2016). Result of investigation, hunting area showed a high hunting behavior in riversides and flight-hunting was frequently investigated from may to June. In addition flight-hunting's main food acquisition is mammal(the vole), while perching behavior's main food acquisition is insect according to the fact flight-hunting were mainly done in riversides, perching behavior were highly investigated than flight-hunting at glasslands and paddy fields and dry field. Hunting spot's coverage rate of plants covering the ground showed differences depending on hunting areas, but height of plants were not significant. Height of the plant according to hunting methods of flight-hunting to catch mammal(vole) was analyzed to prefer lower height than perching behavior Based on these results riversides are considered as a very important environmental factors for Common Kestrel's prey selection in breeding session.

The microseismic monitoring system with wide range of frequency has been operating in real time and it is remotely monitored at indoor and on-site for one year. This system was constructed and established in order to secure the safe and effective operation of the KAERI Underground Research Tunnel(KURT). For one year monitoring work, total 14 events were recorded in the vicinity of the KURT, and the majority of events are regarded as ultramicroseismic earthquake and artificial impacts around the tunnel. The major event is the magnitude 3.4 earthquake which was centered around Gongju city, Chungnam Province. It means that there is no significant evidence of high frequency microseismic event, which is associated with fracture initiation and/or propagation in the rock mass and shotcrete. Three components sensor was applied in order to analyze and define the direction of vibration as well as an epicenter of microseismic origin, and also properly designed and installed in a small borehole. This monitoring system is able to predict the location and timing of fracturing of rock mass and rock fall around an undreground openings as well as analysis on safety of various kinds of engineering structures such as nuclear facilities and other structures.

The distributed rainfall-runoff model which is developed in the country requires a lot of time and effort to generate input data. Also, it takes a lot of time to calculate discharge by numerical analysis based on kinematic wave theory in runoff process. Therefore, most river basins using the distributed model are of limited scale, such as small river basins. However, recently, the necessity of integrated watershed management has been increasing due to change of watershed management concept and discharge calculation of whole river basin, including upstream and downstream of dam. Thus, in this study, the feasibility of the GIS based physical distributed rainfall-runoff model, K-DRUM(K-water hydrologic & hydraulic Distributed RUnoff Model) which has been developed by own technology was reviewed in the flood discharge process for the Geum River basin, including Yongdam and Daecheong Dam Watersheds. GIS hydrological parameters were extracted from basic GIS data such as DEM, land cover and soil map, and used as input data of the model. Problems in running time and inaccuracy setting using the existing trial and error method were solved by applying an auto calibration method in setting initial soil moisture conditions. The accuracy of discharge analysis for application of the method was evaluated using VER, QER and Total Error in case of the typhoon 'Ewiniar' event. and the calculation results shows a good agreement with observed data.

This is a case study to research the environmental changes that occurred during the Latter Half of the postglacial age around the Basin of Onyang River in Asan, Korea. In line with this purpose, the author performed a pollen analysis and a radiocarbon dating on the deposits of alluvial fan around the upper Geumgok River, a tributary of Onyang River. Sampling point was at the altitude of about 67.5 meters, which belongs to the central zone of the cool temperate forest. The followings are the results of the study. The study area has passed through SC-I (the coniferous forest period in which Pinus was dominant), SC-II (the deciduous broad-leaved forest period in which Quercus and Castanea were dominant) and SC-III (the mixed conifer and deciduous broad-leaved forest period, in which Pinus, Quercus and Ulmus/Zelkova were dominant) respectively since about 3,000 yrB.P. SC-I period and SC-II period are presumed to be between about 3,000 and 2,000 yrB. P., and SC-III period to begin after 2,000 yrB.P. In comparison with the nationwide pollen zone during the postglacial age, SC-I and SC-II periods are contrasted with the R-IIIa zone and also the SC-III zone with the RIIIb zone. In addition, it is assumed that Pinus densiflora forest luxuriated there since 2,000 yrB.P. due to the destruction of forests, and that a lot of Fagopyrum pollen appeared; altogether, it was the so-called human interference period, from which forests began to be markedly destroyed. It is concluded that in those days inhabitants leaded agricultural life.

The Sincheon wetland shows a remarkable diversity of fluvial landforms, such as river islands, anastomosing channels, braided channels, and sand-gravel bars, which contribute to its rich ecological habitat. The wetland area is characterized by a ecological diversity of herbaceous and woody plants. Significant changes in land cover within the wetlands were observed from 2008 to 2020. Notably, there was a rapid decrease in agricultural area from 18% to 0.04%, while the vegetation area expanded from 45% to 54%. Concurrently, the water area also experienced a notable increase from 34% to 41%. The surface sediment composition in the studied area displays sandy loam characteristics and exhibits acidic soil properties. Sediment acidity tends to increase downstream and in the central part of channels. Variations in acidity are also observed at nearby collection sites due to the tributaries and local discharge. The presence of dense vegetation in river islands and bars has led to a significant transformation of sediments into soil, with this change being more pronounced downstream, particularly near the weirs. The installation of a weir in Sincheon wetland is believed to have a significant impact on altering flow velocities between upstream and downstream sections, as well as influencing erosion and sediment deposition patterns. However, given the formation of landforms in response to weirs, effective administration and management are essential to address potential risks of catastrophic environmental disruptions, such as the removal of weirs and/or the maintenance of river channels.
