The TMDL, the watershed-oriented water quality management policy, was introduced to inhibit the total amount of pollutant loading generation, and to develop the region environmentally friendly. However, despite the implementation of TMDL, the water quality of Nam river downstream has worsened continuously since 2005. Diverse pollution sources such as cities and industrial zone are scattered around the Nam river. Eutrophication are caused due to deterioration of water quality by low velocity. BOD concentrations in the eutrophic waters affected by the incoming BOD and the autochthonous BOD by the production of phytoplankton. In this study, the quantitative relation of incoming BOD and autochthonous BOD was analyzed for water quality management. The influence of autochthonous BOD was analyzed using QUALKO2 and QUAL2E. Considering the effects of Chl.a, BOD concentration from QUALKO2 model simulations is higher than BOD concentration from QUAL2E model. The results of QUALKO2 showed higher correlation with the measured data. Autochthonous BOD needs to be managed to solve the water pollution problem of Nam river downstream, which is looking for ways to reduce Chl.a by using the increase of the dam outflow and the improvement of the water quality from WWTP.

In recent, the natural disaster like localized heavy rainfall due to the climate change is increasing. Therefore, it is important issue that the precise observation of rainfall and accurate spatial distribution of the rainfall for fast recovery of damaged region. Thus, researches on the use of the radar rainfall data have been performed. But there is a limitation in the estimation of spatial distribution of rainfall using rain gauge. Accordingly, this study uses the Kriging method which is a spatial interpolation method, to measure the rainfall field in Namgang river dam basin. The purpose of this study is to apply KED(Kriging with External Drift) with OK(Ordinary Kriging) and CK(Co-Kriging), generally used in Korea, to estimate rainfall field and compare each method for evaluate the applicability of each method. As a result of the quantitative assessment, the OK method using the raingauge only has 0.978 of correlation coefficient, 0.915 of slope best-fit line, and 0.957 of $R^2$ and shows an excellent result that MAE, RMSE, MSSE, and MRE are the closest to zero. Then KED and CK are in order of their good results. But the quantitative assessment alone has limitations in the evaluation of the methods for the precise estimation of the spatial distribution of rainfall. Thus, it is considered that there is a need to application of more sophisticated methods which can quantify the spatial distribution and this can be used to compare the similarity of rainfall field.

국내 시설원예 면적은 2005년 기준 52,022ha에 달하고 있으며 약 23%에 해당하는 12,000ha는 겨울철에 난방기를 가동하여 원예작물을 생산하고 있다. 농업용 난방기의 보급은 가온재배 면적의 증가와 더불어 급신장하고 있어 농업용 면세유 중 경유 공급액 약 9,260억원 중 62%에 해당하는 1,350,000톤이 시설원예 난방에 사용된 것으로 추산되고 있다. 지속적인 유가 상승으로 시설재배 농가의 경영이 악화되고 있어 최근 히트펌프를 이용한 냉난방시스템에 대한 연구가 수행되고 있다. 시설원예 냉난방에 사용되는 히트펌프의 열원은 다양하게 적용할 수 있으나 강변에 위치하고 있는 시설원예단지의 경우 연 중 풍부한 유량과 안정적인 수온을 얻을 수 있는 강변여과수는 매우 매력적인 열원이다. 본 연구에서는 시범지역으로 남강댐 하류에 위치하고 있는 진주지역의 시설원예단지와 낙동강 유역의 구미지역 시설원예단지의 두 곳에 대하여 1일 $1,000m^3$의 강변여과수 개발에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 육안 및 현장여건에 대한 조사를 수행하고 인근 지하수 사용현황에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 진주지역의 경우 일부 농가에서 지하수를 사용하고 있었으나 1일 8~10시간 취수에 최대 취수량은 약 $120m^3$ 정도였다. 반면, 구미지역의 경우 1999년 구미첨단원예농단 조성사업의 일환으로 양액재배에 농업용수를 공급할 목적으로 지하수 개발이 실시되었으며 최근 인근 국화축제를 개최하는 지역에서 신규로 지하수를 개발하여 사용 중이었다. 전기비저항 탐사를 실시한 결과 진주지역은 지하 약 6~17m 지점에 대수층이 존재하는 것으로 판단되었고, 구미지역은 지하 약 10~20m 지점에 대수층이 존재할 가능성이 있지만 지하 20m 지점부터는 대수층의 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 두 지역에 각각 두 공을 시추하여 조사한 결과, 구미지역의 경우 수면높이가 지하 약 10m이고 각각 2.5m와 4.6m의 모래자갈층을 형성하고 있어 $1,000m^3$/일의 취수량 개발이 원활하지 않을 것으로 판단되었다. 한편, 진주지역은 수면높이가 지하 약 3m이고 각각 3.5m와 6.5m의 모래자갈층을 형성하고 있어 $1,000m^3$/일의 취수량 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 현장 시추조사 및 기존관정 조사결과, 구미지역에 비하여 진주지역이 지하수 물량 확보가 상대적으로 용이하고 신규 굴착 가능지점이 다수 분포하고 있어 연구지점으로 활용하는데 유리할 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 진주지역에 여과수열원 확보를 위해 2곳의 양수관정을 설치하고 히트펌프를 이용하여 시설원예의 냉난방을 실시할 예정이다.

낙동강유역에는 4대강 사업으로 8개의 보가 낙동강 본류에 새롭게 설치되었으며, 따라서 상류로부터 유입되는 유사가 보상류에 퇴적되어 하천제방이나 하천구조물의 안전을 위협할 수 있다. 또한 홍수시에는 농경지의 매몰과 저수지의 퇴적현상이 발생하는 등 유역유사에 의한 다양한 문제가 발생할 수 있으며, 강우로부터 유출되는 유사는 강우사상에 따라 빠르게 변할 수 있으나 수체에 즉각적인 영향을 유발하지 않을 경우 만성적인 특성으로 인해 침전물을 계속 이동시키며 축적되는 문제가 발생한다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 사전에 예측하고 낙동강유역에 대한 유역유사관리 대책마련을 마련하기 위해 유역유출과 유사의 이송 및 퇴적양상을 분석하여 유역관리를 위한 자료를 구축할 필요가 있다. 이러한 기초자료 분석을 위해 활용되는 유역모형 중 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형은 장기간 유역 유출로 인한 유사 모의를 수행하는데 가장 많이 활용되는 모형이며, 미국 농무성 농업연구소(USDA Agricultural Research Service, ARS)의 Jeff Amold 등에 의해 개발된 모형이다. SWAT 모형은 장기유출 및 유사 발생에 대한 시 공간적 변화를 모의하는 모형으로 넓은 범위의 유역에 대해 일단위 모의 간격으로 최대 100년까지 모의가 가능한 장기유역 모의에 최적화된 모형이다. 본 논문에서는 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 낙동강유역의 장기 유역 유출 및 유사 모의를 수행하기위해 2004년에서 2009년까지의 유출량 자료와 유량-유사량관계곡선 등을 이용하여 본류 및 지류 유출구 주요지점에 대해 검보정을 수행하고자 한다. 모의의 정확도 향상을 위해 안동댐, 임하댐, 영천댐, 합천댐, 남강댐, 밀양댐 및 낙동강 본류 등 총 7개 유역으로 구분하여 SWAT 모형을 구축하였으며, 각 유역별로 유출량과 유사량에 대하여 각각 보정 및 검증을 수행하였다. 낙동강 본류유역 총 7개의 댐 방류량자료와 20개의 대형하수종말처리장 방류량자료를 이용한 낙동강유역의 유출량 보정 및 검증 결과, 모의치가 실측치를 잘 반영하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 총 11개 지점의 수위관측소에 대해 유사량 측정 성과를 이용한 유사량 보정 및 검증 결과, 강우시 유사량 모의값은 유출량-유사량관계곡선 식을 잘 반영하였으나, 비강우시에는 모의값이 관계곡선 식의 결과값보다 대체적으로 높게 나타났다.

Accurate QPE (Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) and the quality of the rainfall data for hydrological analysis are very important factors. Especially, the quality has a great influence on flood runoff result. It needs to know characteristics of the uncertainties in radar QPE for the reliable flood analysis. The purpose of this study is to present a probabilistic approach which defines the range of possible values or probabilistic distributions rather than a single value to consider the uncertainties in radar QPE and evaluate its applicability by applying it to radar rainfall. This study generated radar rainfall ensemble for the storms by the typhoon 'Sanba' on Namgang dam basin, Korea. It was shown that the rainfall ensemble is able to simulate well the pattern of the rain-gauge rainfall as well as to correct well the overall bias of the radar rainfall. The suggested ensemble technique represented well the uncertainties of radar QPE. As a result, the rainfall ensemble model by a probabilistic approach can provide various rainfall scenarios which is a useful information for a decision making such as flood forecasting and warning.

The fish fauna and Community were surveyed from April 2000 to September 2001 at 23 stations in the nam river, the first tributary located to the lower reach of the Nakdong River system. During the study period, 39 species belonging to 29 genera and 11 families were collected. Of which 14 species are endemic species or subspecies in Korea. Introduced species from other river system, O. bidens had not been collected at all after the report of Yang (1973) but many individuals were captured at main stream and tributary in this survey. Introduced species from abroad M. salmoides increased at most of stations. Dominant species in main stream were Z. platypus, O. bidens and H. labeo. On the contrary, Z. temmincki, Z. platypus and S. gracilis majimae dominated the tributaries. Diversity indices of main stream and tributaries were 0,979 and 0.966 respectively. St. 3 of main stream and St.1 and 16 of tributaries had high diversity indices (1.05, 0.962, 0.956) and lower dominant indices (0.102, 0.369, 0.200). As a whole, dominant index was 0.160, diversity index 1.044 and evenness index 0.656. It indicated that the community structure of this river was stable and diverse relatively.

This study investigated the change of the achievement rate of the target water quality conditioned on the occurrence of severe drought, to assess the effects of meteorological drought on the water quality management in the Nakdong River basin. Using three drought indices with difference time scales such as 30-, 60-, 90-day, i.e., SPI30, SPI60, SPI90, and three water quality indicators such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total organic carbon (TOC), and total phosphorus (T-P), we first analyzed the relationship between severe drought occurrence water quality change in mid-sized watersheds, and identified the watersheds in which water quality was highly affected by severe drought. The Bayesian network models were constructed for the watersheds to probabilistically assess the relationship between severe drought and water quality management. Among 22 mid-sized watersheds in the Nakdong River basin, four watersheds, such as #2005, #2018, #2021, and #2022, had high environmental vulnerability to severe drought. In addition, severe drought affected spring and fall water quality in the watershed #2021, summer water quality in the #2005, and winter water quality in the #2022. The causal relationship between drought and water quality management is usufaul in proactive drought management.

Water supply system aims to meet the user's demand by securing water resources in a stable way. However, water supply failure sometimes happens because inflow decreases during drought period. Droughts induced by the lack of precipitation do not always lead to water supply failures. Thus, it is necessary to consider features of actual water shortage event when we evaluate a water supply risk. In this study, we developed a new drought index for drought management, i.e., Joint Drought Management Index (JDMI), using two water supply system performance indices such as reliability and vulnerability. Future data that were estimated from GCMs according to RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios were used to estimate future water supply risk. After dividing the future period into three parts, the risk of water supply failure in the Nakdong River basin was analyzed using the JDMI. As a result, the risk was higher with the RCP 4.5 than the RCP 8.5. In case of RCP 4.5, W18 (Namgangdam) was identified as the most vulnerable area, whereas in case of RCP 8.5, W23 (Hyeongsangang) and W33 (Nakdonggangnamhae) were identified as the most vulnerable area.

Owing to their high bioproductivity and unique physical environment, estuarine wetlands are gaining importance in national biodiversity management and habitat conservation. With regard to conservation and management of estuarine wetlands, this study analyzed the ecological characteristics of Gahwacheon Estuarine Wetland, an open estuary with various habitat types. Data from vegetation and biotic surveys have shown that 12 plant communities of five physiognomic vegetation types, including lentic herbaceous vegetation, halophytic herbaceous vegetation, and chasmophytic herbaceous vegetation. Due to the discharge of Namgang Dam and the effect of the tide, vegetation are distributed along the narrow waterside area. In terms of biodiversity, a total of 715 species, including 12 endangered wildlife species, were identified. Species diversity was relatively high in sections I and III where various riverbed structures and microhabitats were distributed. Due to the effect of the brackish water area following the inflow of seawater, endangered wildlife of various functional groups were also found to be distributed, indicating the high conservation value of that area. The collection of ecological information of the Gahwacheon Estuarine Wetland can be used as a framework for establishing the basis for conservation and management of the estuarine ecosystem and support policy establishment.

The purpose of this study is to develop GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) acceleration technique for 2-dimensional model and to assess the effectiveness for high resolution flood simulation in wide area In this study, GPU acceleration technique was implemented in the G2D (Grid based 2-Dimensional land surface flood model) model, using implicit scheme and uniform square grid, by using CUDA. The technique was applied to flood simulation in Jinju-si. The spatial resolution of the simulation domain is 10 m × 10 m, and the number of cells to calculate is 5,090,611. Flood period by typhoon Mitag, December 2019, was simulated. Rainfall radar data was applied to source term and measured discharge of Namgang-Dam (Ilryu-moon) and measured stream flow of Jinju-si (Oksan-gyo) were applied to boundary conditions. From this study, 2-dimensional flood model could be implemented to reproduce the measured water level in Nam-gang (Riv.). The results of GPU acceleration technique showed more faster flood simulation than the serial and parallel simulation using CPU (Central Processing Unit). This study can contribute to the study of developing GPU acceleration technique for 2-dimensional flood model using implicit scheme and simulating land surface flood in wide area.
