Several research cases using remote sensing methods to analyze changes of storage and dynamics of groundwater aquifer were reviewed in this paper. The status of groundwater storage, in an area with regional scale, could be qualitatively inferred from geological feature, surface water altimetry and topography, distribution of vegetation, and difference between precipitation and evapotranspiration. These qualitative indicators could be measured by geological lineament analysis, airborne magnetic survey, DEM analysis, LAI and NDVI calculation, and surface energy balance modeling. It is certain that GRACE and InSAR have received remarkable attentions as direct utilization from satellite data for quantification of groundwater storage and dynamics. GRACE, composed of twin satellites having acceleration sensors, could detect global or regional microgravity changes and transform them into mass changes of water on surface and inside of the Earth. Numerous studies in terms of groundwater storage using GRACE sensor data were performed with several merits such that (1) there is no requirement of sensor data, (2) auxiliary data for quantification of groundwater can be entirely obtained from another satellite sensors, and (3) algorithms for processing measured data have continuously progressed from designated data management center. The limitations of GRACE for groundwater storage measurement could be defined as follows: (1) In an area with small scale, mass change quantification of groundwater might be inaccurate due to detection limit of the acceleration sensor, and (2) the results would be overestimated in case of combination between sensor and field survey data. InSAR can quantify the dynamic characteristics of aquifer by measuring vertical micro displacement, using linear proportional relation between groundwater head and vertical surface movement. However, InSAR data might now constrain their application to arid or semi-arid area whose land cover appear to be simple, and are hard to apply to the area with the anticipation of loss of coherence with surface. Development of GRACE and InSAR sensor data preprocessing algorithms optimized to topography, geology, and natural conditions of Korea should be prioritized to regionally quantify the mass change and dynamics of the groundwater resources of Korea.

River bank filtration techniques seek to improve river water quality via natural processes occurring when river water is induced to a river bank. When water is pumped from multiple wells, phenomenon known as well interference affect pumping rates. Pumping wells of a bank filtration facility are connected by pipelines. In theses cases well interference is caused not only by groundwater drawdown but also by pipe headloss which depend on flow rates. In this work a comprehensive analytical method which handles groundwater flow and pipe flow is used to evaluate interferences and ratios of river water in pumping wells. A realistic case was used as an example.

A method is developed for the separation of the major base flow in a river hydrograph combining the numerical techniques and the empirical methods. The linearized Boussinesq equation and the storage function are used to obtain the base flow recession. The shape of base flow curve made by the recharge of the groundwater table aquifer resulting from rainfall in determined by the Singh and Stall's graphical method, and the continuous from for the curve is approximated by the multiple and polynomial regression. this procedure was successfully tested for the separation of base flow and the establishment of hydrograph in a natural watershed. It was found that the direct numerical method applied to the homogeneous linear second order ordinary differential equation system is not suited to obtain the recession curve, and the case that the loss is generated in the partially penetrating stream can not be solved by the method of this study.

The pumping test analysis on 28 pumping test data in Duksan hot-spring area was performed using the fractal model, the leaky fractal model, and the steady-state dual-porosity fractal model. The fractional flow dimension 1.9 or 2.0 was determined in the central put of the hot spring and the fractional flow dimension 1.5-1.7 in the marginal area. For the flow dimension 2.0, the correlation between the transmissivity and the productivity index by the aquifer loss was much better than that between the transmissivity and the specific yield by the total drawdown. On the other hand, for the flow dimension 1.9, the correlation between the generalized transmissivity and the productivity index was very similar to that between the generalized transmissivity and the specific yield.

It is important to extract and assess low-flow recession characteristics for water resources management in the upper reaches of a stream. It is difficult to express the groundwater flow recession characteristics for streamflow synthetically. The linear recession model has been widely used by baseflow recession analysis for reason of simplicity and convenience, but recent studies show that nonlinear recession models fit well, and the relationship between the reservoir storage of shallow unconfined aquifers and the groundwater discharge was to be identified as nonlinear in the literature based on the analysis of numerous streamflow recession curves. The objective of the study is to decode these nonlinear characteristics, including evaporation loss, storage, and recharge of groundwater using streamflow. By analyzing the observed time series of streamflow from the study area, which is the Pyeongchang River basin in Korea, the main components of the underlying groundwater balance, namely, discharge, evaporation loss, storage, and recharge, can be identified and quantified. As a result of the study, depletion of groundwater by evapotranspiration losses through the water uptake of tree roots was found to bias the recession curves and the estimated reservoir parameters. The seasonality of both rainfall and potential evaporation, analysis of the recession curves, stratified according to time of the year, allowed the quantification of evapotranspiration loss as a function of a calendar month and stored groundwater storage.

Groundwater flow in a basin is greatly affected by many hydrogeological and hydrological characteristics of the basin. A groundwater flow model for the Kap-cheon basin ($area=648.3km^2$) in the Geum river basin was established using MODFLOW by fully considering major features obtained from observed data of 438 wells and 24 streams. Furthermore, spatial groundwater recharge distribution was estimated employing accurately calibrated watershed model developed using SWAT, a physically semi-distributed hydrological model. Model calibration using observed groundwater head data at 86 observation wells yielded the deterministic coefficient of 0.99 and the water budget discrepancy of 0.57%, indicating that the model well represented the regional groundwater flow in the Kap-cheon basin. Model simulation results showed that groundwater flow in the basin was strongly influenced by such factors as topological features, aquifer characteristics and streams. The streams in mountainous areas were found to alternate gaining and losing steams, while the streams in the vicinity of the mid-stream and down-stream, especially near the junction of Kap-cheon and Yudeong-cheon, areas were mostly appeared as gaining streams. Analysis of water budget showed that streams in mountainous areas except for the mid-stream and up-stream of Yudeong-cheon were mostly fed by groundwater recharge while the streams in the mid and down-stream areas were supplied from groundwater inflows from adjacent sub-basins. Hence, it was concluded that the interactions between surface water-groundwater in the Kap-cheon basin would be strongly inter-connected with not only streams but also groundwater flow system itself.

2020년 기준 우리나라 전체 지하수 시설은 총 1,659천개소, 이용량은 2,916백만m³/년, 년간 지하수 개발가능량은 130억m³대비 22.3%이다(환경부 등, 2021). 단위면적당 지하수 시설수와 이용량은 16.8개소/km², 29,168m³/년/km²(81.1m3/일/km²)이다. 이러한 자료는 가뭄 대응시 신규 관정 개발도 필요하지만, 기존에 개발된 관정들을 최대한 효율적으로 활용하는 방안을 우선적으로 고려해야 한다는 것을 시사한다. 관정들을 상호 연계하게 되면 여러 개의 관정에서 나오는 물을 합하여 총량을 늘릴 수 있기 때문에, 가뭄 등 비상시에 일시적으로 다량의 물을 공급할 수 있다. 또한, 평상시에도 적절한 양수량 조절을 통해 지하수 자원의 손실을 막고 수위 저하에 의한 문제를 최소화할 수 있다. 관정연계시스템(well network system, WNS)은 기존 관정들을 가상의(virtually) 또는 물리적(physical) 연계를 하여, 최적의 지하수를 공급할 수 있는 시스템으로 정의할 수 있다. 가뭄 대응 및 효율적 지하수 자원 활용을 위한 관정연계시스템 개발과 실증을 위해 홍성군 서부면 양곡리 일대에 양수제어, 관로시설, 물탱크 등 물리적인 시설을 시험 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 또한, 관정연계시스템은 ICT 기술과 지하수관리 기법을 연동하여 지하수 관정들을 연계하고 최적으로 운영할 수 있는 하나의 의사결정시스템으로서 관정연계 플랫폼을 개발하였다. 관정연계 플랫폼은 웹기반으로 개발되었으며, 대수층의 수리지질 특성, 수요에 기반한 물공급량 평가, 관정 연계 시나리오 및 최적 운영 알고리즘, 지하수 모델링 등이 가능하도록 각각의 모듈들이 구성 및 통합·운영 되도록 설계되었다. 본 시스템 개발을 통해 가뭄 발생시 현장에서 신속히 지하수로 물을 공급할 수 있으며, 신규 관정 개발에 드는 비용을 절약할 수 있고, 기존 시설을 활용하기 때문에 새로운 수자원 건설 인프라 구축 비용도 절감할 수 있을 것이다. 또한, 개별관정에 대한 이용률 제고와 지하수관리도 보다 체계적, 과학적으로 할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 하지만, 이러한 시스템이 제대로 운영 및 보급되기 위해서는 관정연계와 관련한 법제도적 보완과 함께, 지역사회의 공적자원으로서의 지하수에 대한 인식개선과 지하수의 개발 및 보전, 적합한 합리적 배분·이용 등 적극적인 협조가 이루어져야 한다.

In order to obtain information on the design parameters of the horizontal laterals in floodplain filtration, laboratory-scale sand-box experiments were performed where the head distributions on the laterals and the groundwater profiles were measured according to the change in parameters including lateral diameter, hydraulic conductivity of the sand, water level at the well and raw-water supply rate. Measured data were analyzed using a numerical code in order to identify the discharge intensity distribution along the laterals. It was observed from the result that the lowering of the water level at the well had minimal adverse effect on the performance of the floodplain filtration. Results also elucidated that the low conveyance of the laterals to transmit the filtrate was compensated and supplemented by a natural augmentation in horizontal conveyance through the aquifer when the raw-water supply rate exceeded the adequate recovery rate. With this mechanism, the water quality is expected to improve further since the travel distance through the aquifer is amplified. Based on these findings it can be suggested that the diameter of the lateral used in the floodplain filtration may be smaller than those in riverbank/bed filtration. It was also found that the ratio between the head loss occurring in a lateral and the total head loss in the floodplain filtration was proportional to the exit velocities of the laterals, which may be used to design and/or evaluate the lateral in floodplain filtration.

Increased use of water curtain facilities to keep green house warm during winter cultivation has been known to cause excessive groundwater ion which might lead to decline of groundwater level, resulting in streamflow depletion. Therefore it is required to quantitatively assess the effects of groundwater ion on the streamflow depletion such as magnitude and extent. The objective of this study is to assess the change of stream-aquifer interaction according to groundwater ion near stream. To this end, a green house cultivation land in Sooha-ri, Sindun-myun, Icheon-si, Gyonggi-do was selected as a field experimental site, and monitoring wells were established near and within stream to observe the water level and temperature changes over a long period of time. From the observed water level and temperature data, it was found that the river reach of interest changed to a losing stream pattern during the winter cultivation season due to groundwater level decline around pumping wells near the stream. The continuous exchange rates between stream and aquifer were estimated by plugging the observed water level data series into the experimental relation between head difference and exchange rate, showing the streamflow depletion by 16% of the groundwater pumping rate in Feb, 2011.
