홍수(floods)는 인간의 생명과 재산에 큰 피해를 발생시키는 자연재해 중 하나로 최근 지구 온난화와 기후 변화로 인하여 홍수 발생 빈도와 강도가 증가하고 있다. 때문에, 홍수 발생 시 정확한 홍수량 산정을 위하여 유역 내 지표수 및 지하수 흐름 분석을 통하여 전반적인 물 순환의 이해가 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구는 지표수-지하수 연계 모형을 활용하여 홍수 발생 시 미호천 유역에서 지하수가 하천 유량에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 본 연구는 Hydrological-Ecological Integrated watershed-scale Flow (HEIFLOW) 모형을 적용하여, 국내 유역 특성을 고려하여 시간단위 홍수 사상 분석을 수행한다. 모형 구축을 위하여 2013년과 2014년도의 미호천내의 7개 기상 및 강우관측소, 1개의 수위 관측소의 정보를 활용하여 지표수 모형을 구축하며, 같은 기간의 지하수 모형 구축을 위해 7개의 국가 지하수 관측망의 지하수 수위 자료와 유역의 수문지질도(Hydrogeological map)의 정보를 활용한다. 미호천 유역 내 HEIFLOW 모형의 홍수 모의 결과 산정된 하천 유량은 관측 유량과 0.79 R²의 우수한 모의 성능을 나타내고 있으며, 지하 수위 모의 역시 지하수 수위 변동을 적절하게 모의한다. 또한, 미호천 유역의 하류 지역은 하천으로 유출되는 지하수가 하천의 기저 유량에 상당한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타나며 홍수 시에는 지하수 유출의 증가로 인한 급격한 첨두 홍수량의 상승을 보인다. 이와 같은 결과는 홍수 모의 시 지표면 유출 분석에 초점을 두고 있는 홍수 국내의 홍수량 산정 방법에 지하수의 거동 및 하천 유량에 미치는 영향을 정량적인 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 추후 국내 홍수량 산정의 새로운 방법의 하나로 활용될 가능성을 보여준다.

Because groundwater recharge shows spatial-temporal variability due to climatic conditions, it is necessary to investigate land use and hydrogeological heterogeneity, and estimate the spatial variability in the daily recharge rate based on an integrated surface-groundwater model. The integrated SWAT-MODFLOW model was applied to compute physically based daily groundwater recharge in the Jincheon region. The temporal variations in estimated recharge were calibrated using the observed groundwater head at several National Groundwater Monitoring Stations and at automatic groundwater-monitoring sites constructed during the Basic Groundwater Investigation Project (2009-2010). For the whole Mihocheon watershed, including the Jincheon region, the average groundwater recharge rate is estimated to be 20.8% of the total rainfall amount, which is in good agreement with the analytically estimated recharge rate. The proposed methodology will be a useful tool in the management of groundwater in Korea.

Specific yield is an essential parameter of the water table fluctuation method for recharge calculation. Specific yield is not easily estimated because of limited availability of aquifer test data and soil samples at National Groundwater Monitoring Stations in South Korea. The linear relationship between rainfall and water level rise was used to estimate the specific yields of aquifer for 34 shallow monitoring wells which were grouped into three clusters. In the case of Cluster-1 and Cluster-2, this method was not applicable because of low cross correlation between rainfall and water level rise and also a long lag time of water level rise to rainfall. However, the specific yields for 19 monitoring wells belonging to Cluster-3, which have relatively high cross correlation and short lag time, within 2 days after rainfall, range from 0.06 to 0.27 with mean value of 0.17. These values are within the general range for sand and gravel sediments and similar to those from aquifer test data. A detailed field survey is required to identify monitoring sites that are not greatly affected by pumping, stream flow, evapotranspiration, or delayed response of water levels to rainfall, because these factors may cause overestimation of specific yield estimates.

A calculation technique which estimates natural recharge using groundwater level change was proposed and prepared with the existing techniques using groundwater recession curve during dry days. As a part of estimating natural groundwater recharge nation wide, the reliable data from the national groundwater monitoring network were used and the methodology was applied to the three sites which have enough data (Chungju, Jinju and Kwangju). For this study, seasonal variation of groundwater level change, an analysis of lagging time on groundwater level and cumulative precipitation, and a comparative study for groundwater recharge were conducted.

The National Groundwater Monitoring Network (NGMN) in South Korea has been implemented in alluvial/ bedrock aquifers for efficient management of groundwater resources. In this study, aquifer types were reclassified with unconfined and confined aquifers based on water-level fluctuation and water quality characteristics. Principal component analysis (PCA) of water-level data from paired monitoring wells of alluvial/bedrock aquifers results in the principal components of both aquifers showing similar water-level fluctuation pattern. There was no significant difference in the rate of water-level rises responding to precipitations and in the NO₃-N concentrations between the alluvial and bedrock aquifers. In contrast, in the results classified with the hydrogeological type, the principal components of water level were different between unconfined and confined conditions. The water-level rises to precipitation events were estimated to be 4.6 (R²=0.8) in the unconfined and 2.1 (R²=0.4) in the confined aquifers, respectively, indicating less impact of precipitation recharge to the confined aquifer. The confined aquifers have the average NO₃-N concentration below 3 mg/L, implying the natural background level protected from the sources at surface. In summary, reclassification of aquifers into hydrogeological types clearly shows the differences between unconfined and confined aquifers in the water-level fluctuation pattern and NO₃-N concentrations. The hydrogeologic condition of aquifer could improve groundwater resource management by providing critical information on groundwater quantity through recharge estimation and quality for protection from potential contamination sources.

In order to support effective usage of groundwater as an alternative water resource in future, we investigated distribution characteristics of minerals related with human health. While recent studies tended to focus on small scale, this study broadened research area up to nationwide scale to understand groundwater hydrology and regional, geological distributions of minerals in wide area; we investigated mineral distributions of national groundwater monitoring networks, developed GIS-based mineral maps, and reviewed correlation with geological features. As a result, calcium showed the highest concentration among 5 minerals (Ca, Mg, Na, K, Si) and potassium showed the lowest. Calcium concentration in limestone and sedimentary zone was the highest, and that in pore-volcanic-rock zone was the lowest. While calcium, magnesium and sodium showed differences in concentrations in intrusive-igneous-rock and sedimentary zone, potassium was not within geological features. When we studied regional differences, there were no tendency, but Jeju and Gangwon area showed differences in concentrations of calcium and silica.

Groundwater recharge rate was estimated by applying the groundwater level fluctuation method utilizing Theis (1937) approach with specific yield estimation technique of Shevenell (1996) and the temperature method using observed data from National Groundwater Observation Stations. Results based on analysis of water level observation data of 10 alluvium wells reveal that the recharge rates for 5 wells of Kum river area range 3.7~25.0% and those for 5 wells of Nakdong river area range 3.6~21.7%. Results obtained from the temperature method based on water temperature data indicated that the upward flow resulted from evapotranspiration is dominant for 4 wells of the Kum river area and 5 wells of the Nakdong river area. The other wells showed the downward flow which is related to groundwater recharge in these areas.

For tile hydrogeological data of the National Groundwater Monitoring Wells(NGMW), a statistical analysis is made to reveal aquifer characteristics of the country. Results of the pumping and recovery test are classified into 4～5 types by the pattern of drawdown and residual drawdown curves. The analysis of aquifer characteristics shows that the hydraulic conductivity of alluvial aquifers is greater than that of fractured-rock aquifers. The hydraulic conductivity of alluvial aquifers slightly increases as the distance to the discharge area decreases. 77.5% of the NGMWs, where the distance to the discharge area is more than 100m, shows the constant head boundary. This result suggests that the fractured and the alluvial aquifers are fairly interconnected, and water can be supplied from one aquifer to tile other where pumping tests are performed. It is analyzed that the wells showing the impermeable boundary are influenced by small scale of aquifers, poor aquifer transmissivities, and impermeable layers.

Groundwater quality monitoring wells, which is over 2,000 in South Korea, were managed to observe groundwater quality since the early 1990s. Groundwater was sampled and analyzed biannually from 781 monitoring wells located in the areas with a high possibility of pollution. The average concentrations of cyanide, mercury, phenols, hexavalent chromium, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylen, and 1.1.1-trichloroethane for 12 years' data of detected cases were above the groundwater quality standard, but the average concentrations of the general quality items such as pH, electric conductivity, nitrate-nitrogen, and chloride, are below the standard. To compare a quality trend for each land-use type of the monitoring site, Sen's method is used for four quality items; chloride, nitrate-nitrogen, pH, and electric conductivity. The upward trend for these items is remarkable in urbideareas and industrial complexes and this trend continues still strongly after 2001. The deviation in a trend slopes of monitoring wells becomes bigger in the mid-2000s. In conclusion, trend analysis using existing monitoring data cidebe effective to forecast the future water quality condition and the solid action to protect groundwater quality should be done in advance using a result of trend analysis.
