The lack of water resources is becoming a serious issue throughout the world. The water shortage in Korea is expected to increase. Groundwater can be a solution to this matter in some places. Especially, bank filtrations are known to be advantageous over conventional reserviors, even if they have some drawbacks such as their limited location for development and small sizes. The AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) is an analytical tool, supported by simple mathematics, which enables one to explicitly rank tangible and intangible factors against each other for the purpose of resolving conflicts or setting priorities. In order to check the applicability of AHP to the evaluation of bank filtration sites, four candidate locations were chosen. They have suffered from problems like water-supply shortage and delayed dam construction. The analysis results are compared with those of the previous study using a conventional method. It is believed that the developed method can a basis for reasonable decision-making regarding bank filtration development.

Precipitation has a wide range of applications, such as the management and operation of dams and rivers, supply of dranking water for urban and industrial complex, farming and fishing, forest greening, and safety management. In order to prepare for disasters and to obtain economical effects in case of flood damage, it is necessary to measure accurate precipitation. In this study, we carried out the characteristics tests for various types of rainfall gauge using integrated verification system, which can analyze the performance of collective type rainfall gauge. The uncertainty for tipping bucket rain gauge was 0.0041 mm, where weight type and surface tension type was 0.0045 mm and 0.0039 mm respectively. Therefore, the uncertainty according to the type and characteristics of the precipitation system is not significantly different. The uncertainty is also influenced greatly by the resolution.

최근들어 하천내 식생이 차지하는 비율이 크게 증가하고 있으며, 이러한 현상은 하천의 규모나 위치, 댐 유무에 관계없이 전국적으로 발생하고 있다. 식생 면적 비율의 증가는 하천의 육역화로 이어질 뿐만아니라 홍수위를 상승시켜 홍수 안전에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2020년 8월 섬진강에서 발생한 홍수를 대상으로 식생이 홍수위에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 섬진강에는 초본류 뿐만아니라 버드나무류의 목본류가 상당히 분포하고 있으며 이와 같은 식생이 홍수흐름에 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 보인다. 분석을 위해 홍수 이후 섬진강 현지 답사를 통해 식생분포 현황 및 홍수로 인한 영향을 조사하였다. 섬진강의 식생분포 조사를 위해서는 2020년 4월 조사된 유럽 우주국 Sentinel-2 위성영상을 사용하였으며, 정규식생지수(NDVI)와 정규수분지수(NDWI)를 이용하여 하천내 식생밀도를 단계별로 구분하였다. 군집된 식생지수에 따라 USGS의 매닝계수 산정표를 기본으로 식생분포 군집별 조도계수를 산정하여 대상 구간내에 2차원으로 분포시켰다. 수치모형은 NAYS2D 모형을 사용하였으며 대상구간은 섬진강 고달교에서 구례교까지 21.5km이다. 계산조건은 2020년 8월 홍수중 구례교 수위관측소를 기준으로 최대수위가 발생한 시점의 자료를 활용하였다. 고달교에서는 홍수통제소에서 제공하는 홍수량을 상류경계 조건으로 입력하였고 구례교에서는 해당 시각의 수위를 하류경계조건으로 입력하였다. 모형의 검증을 위해 대상구간의 중간에 있는 압록수위관측소 수위를 활용하였다. 식생 유무에 따른 홍수위변화는 조도계수 값에 의해 반영되도록 하였는데 식생이 있는 경우는 현재 상태, 식생이 없는 경우는 모든 지점에 모래와 자갈이 분포하는 것으로 가정하여 계산된 홍수위를 비교하였다. 분석 결과 대상구간에는 전체 면적중 약 56%를 식생이 차지하고 있으며 이로 인해 0.5~1.0m의 홍수위 상승이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 수목으로 인해 2020년 8월과 같은 큰 홍수시에도 홍수위가 크게 상승하는 것으로 분석되었는데 이와 같은 점을 고려하면 하천내 식생이 홍수위에 미치는 영향을 감안하여 적극적인 식생관리 방안이 시행될 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

가뭄은 강수, 증발산, 대기온도, 토양수분 등 다양한 수문기상학적 인자들이 복합적으로 작용하여 발생되기 때문에 가뭄의 정확한 사상을 분석하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 또한 어떤 요인을 중심으로 고려하느냐에 따라 가뭄은 다양한 시각으로 정의되고 있다. 일정기간 평균 강수량보다 적은 강수로 인해 건조한 날이 지속되는 것, 즉 기상요소를 중심으로 가뭄을 정의하는 것을 기상학적 가뭄이라 하며, 작물의 생육에 필요한 수분을 중심으로 고려하는 것을 농업적 가뭄이라 한다. 또한 하천유량, 댐 저수량 등 전반적인 수자원 공급원의 부족을 수문학적 가뭄이라 한다. 이와 같이 다양하게 나타는 가뭄의 발생특성을 정량적으로 해석하기 위해 다양한 가뭄지수가 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 현재까지 개발된 가뭄지수들은 공통적으로 정형데이터를 활용하여 산정한다. 하지만 최근에는 비정형데이터를 활용하여 지수(Index)를 산정하거나, 재난관리에 적용하는 등 비정형 데이터의 활용이 급증하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비정형 데이터(뉴스 데이터)를 활용하여 가뭄지수를 산정하고 기존의 가뭄지수들과의 상관성 분석을 실시 한 뒤, 지수결합을 통해 가뭄사상 분석의 새로운 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 공간적범위는 2014~2015 충남서북부가뭄 지역 중 가장 큰 피해를 입었던 보령지역으로 선정하였으며 시간적범위는 2013~2016년으로 설정하였다. 비정형 데이터의 구축은 크롤링(Crawling)을 활용하여 네이버 뉴스의 기사를 수집하였으며 자료의 신뢰성을 위해 URL이 동일한 중복기사 및 '보령', '가뭄' 단어가 없는 기사는 제거하였다. 구축된 데이터를 기반으로 월별 빈도를 산출하고 표준점수(Z-score)로 환산하여 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 산정된 가뭄지수가 어떤 가뭄의 유형(기상학적, 농업적, 수문학적)을 보이는지 확인하기 위해 기존의 가뭄지수들과 상관성분석을 실시하였으며, 가장 높은 상관성을 보이는 가뭄지수와 결합을 통해 새로운 가뭄 사상을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 진행한 가뭄사상 분석은 향후 가뭄만이 아니라 다양한 재난분야에서 비정형 데이터를 활용한 분석의 기초로자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

With the increasing trend of extreme rainfall that exceeds the design frequency of man-made structures due to extreme weather, it is necessary to review the safety of agricultural reservoirs designed in the past. However, there are no local government-managed reservoirs (13,685) that can be discharged in an emergency, except for reservoirs over a certain size under the jurisdiction of the Korea Rural Affairs Corporation. In this case, it is important to quickly deploy a mobile siphon to the site for preliminary discharge, and this study evaluated the applicability of a mobile siphon with a diameter of 200 mm, a minimum water level difference of 6 m, 420 (m²/h), and 10,000 (m²/day), which can perform both preliminary and emergency discharge functions, to the Yugum Reservoir in Gyeongju City. The test bed, Yugum Reservoir, is a facility that was completed in 1945 and has been in use for about 78 years. According to the hydrological stability analysis, the lowest height of the current dam crest section is 27.15 (EL.m), which is 0.29m lower than the reviewed flood level of 27.44 (EL.m), indicating that there is a possibility of lunar flow through the embankment, and the headroom is insufficient by 1.72 m, so it was reviewed as not securing hydrological safety. The water level-volume curve was arbitrarily derived because it was difficult to clearly establish the water level-flow relationship curve of the reservoir since the water level-flow measurement was not carried out regularly, and based on the derived curve, the algorithm for operating small and medium-sized old reservoirs was developed to consider the pre-discharge time, the amount of spillway discharge, and to predict the reservoir lunar flow time according to the flood volume by frequency, thereby securing evacuation time in advance and reducing the risk of collapse. Based on one row of 200 mm diameter mobile siphons, the optimal pre-discharge time to secure evacuation time (about 1 hour) while maintaining 80% of the upper limit water level (about 30,000 m²) during a 30-year flood was analyzed to be 12 hours earlier. If the pre-discharge technology utilizing siphons for small and medium-sized old reservoirs and the algorithm for reservoir operation are implemented in advance in case of abnormal weather and the decision-making of managers is supported, it is possible to secure the safety of residents in the risk area of reservoir collapse, resolve the anxiety of residents through the establishment of a support system for evacuating residents, and reduce risk factors by providing risk avoidance measures in the event of a reservoir risk situation.

The optical fiber cable acting as a sensor was embedded in the underground research tunnel and portal area in order to monitor their stability and the spatial temperature variation. This system includes two types of sensing function to monitor the distributed strain and temperature along the line, where sensor cable is installed, not a point sensing. According to the results of one year monitoring around the KURT, there is no significant displacement or movement at the tunnel wall and portal slope. However, it would be able to aware of some phenomena as an advance notice at the tunnel wall which indicates the fracturing in rockmass and shotcrete fragmentation before rock falls accidently as well as movement of earth slope. The measurement resolution for rock mass displacement is 1 mm per 1 m and it covers 30 km length with every 1m interval in minimum. In temperature, the cable measures the range of $-160{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ with $0.01^{\circ}C$ resolution according to the cable types. This means that it would be applicable to monitoring system for the safe operation of various kinds of facilities having static and/or dynamic characteristics, such as chemical plant, pipeline, rail, huge building, long and slim structures, bridge, subway and marine vessel. etc.

For the purpose of maintenance and prevention of earth fill dams against damage from natural hazards, automatic monitoring through various measuring instruments and resistivity survey has been carried out. Reservoirs and embankments have the structural vulnerability on the agricultural usages since most of them were built more than thirty years ago. The main aim to use monitoring method is to verify the safety and integrity of the dam. Resistivity survey can detect potential weaknesses, such as defective zones, anomalous seepages or internal erosion processes. Permanent resistivity monitoring systems were installed at a reservoir, which daily measurements have been taken every 6 hour. Using monitoring data for one year, anomalous seepage and structural defects were clarified for dam safety. Annual water level fluctuations are around 10 m. During their operation, reservoir dams are subject to a never-ending hydraulic load from the reservoir, which over the years may cause changes in the properties of the inner parts of the dam construction. Detailed analysis of the monitoring results was performed and showed that resistivities at most locations have been very stable over the full monitoring period excluding the effects of water fluctuation and seasons. To investigate the detectability of weak zone using the DC resistivity monitoring, numerical modeling with a simplified model for the drainage at a reservoir dam was also performed. The results showed that the seepage zone near drainage in a reservoir dam could be detected by resistivity response change.

The on-land seismic survey in Korea was begun in mid-1960s. Kim et al.(1967) of Korea Geological Survey reported on the result of gravity and seismic reflection surveys conducted in the Pohang area for the period of 1963-64 to assess its possibility of oil entrapment. Hyun and Kim (1966) carried out a refraction survey on the tunnel wall. Since then, the KGS geophysicists had conducted seismic surveys on Kyungsang sedimentary basin as a main project for several years. In 1970s, on-land seismic surveys had been conducted for various purposes such as site investigation for the nuclear power plants and industrial complex, exploration for ground water, mineral resources and underground tunnel. The first reflection survey with CMP acquisition was attempted in 1978 by using a digital recording system. But most of on-land seismic surveys had employed the refraction method until 1980s. In 1990s, high resolution reflection and various borehole seismic surveys such as tomography, uphole, downhole, cross-hole methods have been attempted by universities and engineering companies. The applications of on-land seismic surveys have been enlarged for both academic and industrial purposes such as investigation of geologic structure of the fault and tidal flat area, construction of highway, railroad and dam, geothermal energy and mineral resource exploration, environmental assessment for waste disposal sites and archaeological investigations. In 2002, the first crustal seismic survey was carried out on the profile of 294km length across the whole peninsular. It is expected that the advanced technology and experience acquired through offshore seismic surveys, which have been conducted in continental shelf of Korea and foreign oil fields, will stimulate the more active on-land seismic explorations.

The objective of this study was to analyze eutrophication characteristics, empirical model analysis, and variation of water quality according to monsoon intensity in Hapcheon Reservoir for 16 years from 2002 to 2017. Long-term annual water quality analysis showed that Hapcheon Reservoir was in a meso-nutrition to eutrophic condition, and the eutrophic state intensified after the summer monsoon. Annual rainfall volume (high vs. low rainfall) and the seasonal intensity in each year were the key factors that regulate the long-term water quality variation provided that there is no significant change of the point- and non-point source in the watershed. Dry years and wet years showed significant differences in the concentrations of TP, TN, BOD, and conductivity, indicating that precipitation had the most direct influence on nutrients and organic matter dynamics. Nutrient indicators (TP, TN), organic pollution indicators (BOD, COD), total suspended solids, and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), which was an estimator of primary productivity, had significant positive relations (p<0.05) with precipitation. The Chl-a concentration, which is an indicator of green algae, was highly correlated with TP, TN, and BOD, which differed from other lakes that showed the lower Chl-a concentration when nutrients increased excessively. Empirical model analysis of log-transformed TN, TP, and Chl-a indicated that the Chl-a concentration was linearly regulated by phosphorus concentration, but not by nitrogen concentration. Spatial regression analysis of the riverine, transition, and lacustrine zones of $log_{10}TN$, $log_{10}TP$, and $log_{10}CHL$ showed that TN and Chl-a had significant relations (p<0.005) while TN and Chl-a had p > 0.05, indicating that phosphorus had a key role in the algal growth. Moreover, the higher correlation of both $log_{10}TP$ and $log_{10}TN$ to $log_{10}CHL$ in the riverine zone than the lacustrine zone indicated that there was little impact of inorganic suspended solids on the light limitation in the riverine zone.
