The study deals with surface erosion patterns due to the development of cropland toward hillslope and hilltop in the Oncheon-gun, pyeongbuk province and Nampo city of west coast area in the North Korea, using Quick Bird satellite images with 60cm resolution. In North Korea, for national economic difficult after 1980 year, newly developed croplands have been along the gentle hillslope, in which it is possible for individual man power different from the tideland which needs large scaled man-power and equipment. The new croplands are named Darakbat(terraced farm with embankment) and Bitalbat(titled farm developed on the original hill slope), neighboring with orchard and grouped settlement in lower valley. For supplying agricultural water, irrigation ditches and temporal crop storages have been constructed, connecting Darakbat, Bitalbat and orchard. These cropland developments have caused surface erosion composed of 3 types such as pit, linear and headward erosion, together with rill and gully. Owing to poor management of cropland and irrigation system, topsoil erosion and, collapse and sedimentation of ditch and pool, caused the decrease of agricultural productivity. These analysis using Quick Bird images can suggest original raw data about geographical facts on North Korea agriculture and help to recover their agricultural system and plan future national unified land.

Interrill erosion dominates in forest areas, and the erosion rate in surface-disturbed areas is significantly increased by the development and expansion of rill. In this study, soil erosion experiments using simulated rainfall and inflow were performed to understand the development and the micromorphological changes of rill on steep slopes. The characteristic factors of the micromorphology, such as the rill cross section, rill volume, rill density, rill order, and rill sharpness, were analyzed according to steepness and location (upper or lower) of slope. The head-cut of the simultaneous incised rills by rainfall simulation moved rapidly upslope, and the randomly developed rills expanded deeply and widely with their connection. The rill cross section evolved to downslope gradually increased. The rill volume occupied about 78 % of the sediment volume, confirming that the contribution of the sediment from the rill erosion is greater than that of the interrill erosion. Although the rate of increase in rill order slowed as the slope increased, the total length and density of the rill generally increased. As the slope increased from 15° to 20°, the bed incision of rills became larger than the sidewall expansion, and the rill sharpness increased by 1.6 times. The runoff coefficient on the lower slope decreased by 12.3 % than that on the upper slope. It was evaluated that the subsoil exposures and formation changes by the rill expansion increased the infiltration rate. Although the sediment accompanying the rills generally increased with slope increase, it was directly influenced by the hydraulic velocity of enhanced rill with the local convergence and expansion in the process of the rill evolution.

풍화작용에 의해 생성된 유사는 자연 매체에 의해 이동하고 하천에 도달하기 이전이나 이후 퇴적되며, 해당 과정 중에서 하상변동, 홍수위 상승, 제방 안정성, 두부 침식, 생태환경 변화, 수질문제 등 다양한 침식과 퇴적 관련 문제들이 발생한다. 이러한 유사 문제의 해결과 지속적인 하천관리를 위해서는 유사의 생성, 이송, 그리고 퇴적 과정에 대한 충분한 이해와 정량적인 유사량을 파악하는 것이 필수적이다. 다양한 연구들을 통해서 유사량을 정량적으로 파악하기 위해 여러 종류의 모델과 공식들이 제안 되어져 왔다. 그 중 경험적 모델의 경우 실제로 관측된 값을 기반으로 하며, 복잡한 계산이나 요구하는 자료가 다른 종류의 모델들 보다 적어 쉽게 접근이 가능하다. 이러한 경험적 모델은 유사에 영향을 주는 인자를 규명하거나 특정 유역이나 지역에서 이송 및 퇴적 되는 유사의 출처와 특성을 규명하는 초기 단계에서 유용하게 이용된다. 국내 하천의 경우 여름에 강우가 집중되고 대부분의 국토가 산지로 이루어져있어 상류에서 침식이 주로 발생한다. 또한, 본류 및 하류 지역의 하천은 유사의 퇴적이 주로 일어나서 하천의 형태와 물길이 형성된 충적 하천 형태로 발전 되어있기 때문에 국내 하천에서는 전반적으로 국부적이며 다양한 형태의 유사 관련 문제가 발생한다. 국내 하천에서 발생하는 유사 관련 문제를 해결하기 위해 국내 하천의 유사량을 추정하는 다양한 경험적 모델들이 지속적으로 개발되어왔다. 하지만 과거에 개발된 모델들의 경우 계측 자료가 충분하지 않은 시기에 개발 되었으며, 현재에는 활용하기 불가능하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 하천의 비유사량을 예측하는 동시에 국내 하천의 유사 특성을 이해하기 위해 과거에 국내 하천을 대상으로 비유사량을 추정하기 위해 개발되었던 경험적 모델을 개선하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기존 경험 모델의 경우 주기적인 업데이트가 필요함을 확인하였으며, 개발된 모델의 경우 국내 하천 유사 관리를 위해 미래 유사량 예측하는 등 다양한 방면으로 활용 관리가 가능할 것으로 보인다.

하천에서의 골재 채취는 일시적으로 홍수위를 낮추는 순기능도 있지만 하천형태학적으로 좋지 않은 영향을 줄 수도 있다. 하천에서 골재 채취로 인한 준설웅덩이의 회복에 필요한 시간 혹은 과정은 공학적으로 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 시간에 따른 준설 웅덩이의 발달 과정을 모의할 수 있는 수치모형을 제시하였다. 제시된 수치모형은 준정류 가정에 기초하는데, 이는 흐름은 정상류이고 하도가 변하는 특성시간이 흐름에 비해 길다고 가정하는 것이다. 총유사량 공식으로 Engelund and Hansen (1967) 공식과 Ackers and White (1973) 공식을 이용하여 수치실험을 실시하였다. Engelund and Hansen 공식을 사용하였을 때, Parker (2004)에 제시된 준설 웅덩이의 되메움 과정을 정량적으로 유사하게 모의하는 것으로 나타났다. 제시된 모형의 적용성을 검토하기 위하여 선행 실내실험에 적용하였다. 전반적으로 준정류모형이 준설 웅덩이의 되메움과 전파과정을 잘 모의하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 수치모형이 두부침식 현상을 잘 재현하지 못하여 재퇴적 이후의 하상파를 과소 산정하는 것으로 나타났다.

According to the change of stream power/resisting power relationship due to the crustal movement or the climatic change, most channel landforms which reflect the equilibrium state of fluvial system are eroded and a part of them is remained as a river terrace. In many rivers in Korea are extensively distributed the relatively younger low river terraces. But their accurate formation mechanism is not known. In this paper, the formation processes and the dating of low river terraces distributed in Nakdong River basin will be investigated. Stream power of the downward erosion was revived because the sea level fell down. So stream power was superior to the resisting power under the cool-wet climatic condition during the last glacial period. Thus the river bed was excavated deeply, so that low river terraces were built up. And many incised meander loops were cut during this period. But, when fluvial system did not have equilibrium over all reaches, the last glacial period ended and the sea level initiated to rise rapidly. The headward erosion from the fall of sea level during the last glacial period had kept up to Hagye Fall because of the cutting of incised meander loops. Deeply excavated valleys and abandoned channel of cut-meander in lower reaches of a stream were filled with sediments. Thus the longitudinal profile of the uppermost reaches reflect the last interglacial, the upper reaches the last glacial, and the middle/1ower reaches recent fluvial system. Therefore low river terraces have been formed since the last glacial period.

This study investigates the adjustment processes of the rivers after weir removal through laboratory experiments. Delta upstream eroded rapidly by flow at the initial stage of the experiments and the knickpoint migrates upward. Moreover, the knickpoint moves fast upward on the condition of alternate bars. The head cutting in the bed is developed fast at the initial stage. However, the erosion speed in the bed decreases with time. The well developed alternate bars migrates with keeping their shape downstream, and the bars affect the channel downstream to adjust new environments after weir removal. Maximum scouring depth downstream and the migration speed decrease over time after removing the weir. The scouring depth in the channel without alternate bars migrates with speed. However, the depth in the channel with alternate bars migrates slow downstream. The channel with alternate bars, in turn, is adjusted well to the new equilibrium states. The maximum scouring depth migrates downstream with time, and the scouring depth and its migration speed decreases with time. The dimensionless maximum scouring depth decreases with the migration speed of dimensionless maximum scouring depth because the deeply scoured places capture the sediments from upstream and the migration speed is slow as the places are filled with them. The dimensionless maximum scouring depth is shallow as the dimensionless backfilling speed is high. The dimensionless maximum scouring depth decreases rapidly less than 5 of dimensionless backfilling speed. However, the depth decreases slow more than 5 of it.

하도 안정성에 민감하게 반응하는 대표적 하천 구역은 본류와 지류의 합류부이다. 이와 같은 합류부에서는 흐름과 하상변동 양상이 상대적으로 복잡하다. 이는 본류 및 지류 간 유사이송량, 유황, 흐름, 하도경사 등 수리특성이 서로 다르기 때문이다. 지류 합류부에서는 지류 자체의 하상 변동 영향뿐만 아니라 본류의 하상변동으로부터도 직 간접적으로 영향을 받는다. 즉 본류에서 자연적이든 인위적이든 어떤 원인으로 말미암아 하상저하가 갑자기 일어나면 지류의 하도 종단경사 변화가 현저하게 일어나는, 이른 바 두부침식 현상이 발생하기도 한다. 한편 본류와 지천 사이 흐름특성 유사거동 특성이 서로 다르기 때문에 합류뷰 주위에 지속적인 국지퇴적이 야기되기도 한다. 합류부에서 이와 같은 침식 또는 퇴적 현상으로 말미암아 하천관리상 여러 문제점을 야기한다. 이에 따라 지류 합류부에서 하천경사를 일정하게 유지하기 위하여 하상유지공 설치 등 적절한 하도안정화 대책을 모색해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 하천정비기본계획에서 현안의 분석을 통해 개선 방안을 제시하였으며, 국가 및 지방 하천 3,836 개소에 대한 합류부 도상과 일부 현장 조사를 실시하였다. 조사?분석 결과를 바탕으로 합류부의 재해 유발 지표를 도출하고 전문가로부터 의견 수렴을 통해 가중치를 부가하여 합류부 재해 위험성 및 안정성 평가 기법을 정립하였다. 그 동안 관련 부처 및 지자체에서 하천계획을 수립하는 데, 중점 정비 및 관리가 필요로 하는 합류부를 선정 시 그 기준이 모호하였다. 그러나 본 연구에서 정량적으로 정립한 기준은 하천 합류부의 재해 위험성을 평가할 수 있어 고도의 하천관리를 지향할 수 있는 계기를 마련하였다.

Unlike in the past, the world is facing water shortages due to climate change and difficulties in simultaneously managing the risks of flooding. The Four Major Rivers project was carried out with the aim of realizing a powerful nation of water by managing water resources and fostering the water industry, and the construction period was relatively short compared to the unprecedented scale. Therefore, the prediction and analysis of how the river environment changes after the Four Major Rivers Project is insufficient. Currently, part of the construction section of the Four Major Rivers Project is caused by repeated erosion and sedimentation due to the effects of sandification caused by large dredging and flood-time reservoirs, and the head erosion of the tributaries occurs. In order to solve these problems, the riverbed maintenance work was installed, but it resulted in erosion of both sides of the river and the development of new approaches and techniques to keep the river bed stable, such as erosion and excessive sedimentation, is required. The water agent plays a role of securing a certain depth of water for the main stream by concentrating the flow so much in the center and preventing levee erosion by controlling the flow direction and flow velocity. In addition, Groyne products provide various ecological environments by forming a natural form of riverbeds by inducing local erosion and deposition in addition to the protection functions of the river bank and embankment. Therefore, after reviewing the method of determining the shape of the Groyne structure currently in use by utilizing the mobile limit flow rate and marginal reflux force, a new Critical Movement Velocity(${\bar{U}}_d$) and a new resistance coefficient formula considering the mathematical factors applicable to the actual domestic stream were developed and the measures applicable to Groyne installation were proposed.

This study presents a numerical model that is capable of simulating the evolution of mining pit in a stream. The numerical model is based on the quasi-steady assumption that the flow is steady with time-dependent morphological change. This hypothesis is valid due to the fact that the stream morphology changes over a long period compared with the time of flow change. Before applications, numerical experiments are carried out with two total load formulas such as Engelund and Hansen's (1967) and Ackers and White's (1973). It is found that the use of Engelund and Hansen's formula reproduces evolution of mining pit best compared with simulated profiles in Parker (2004). Then, the model is applied to two laboratory experiments in the literature. In general, the numerical model simulates properly the evolution of mining pit in laboratory open-channels. However, it is found that the model does not reproduce head-cutting, propagating upstream, and under-estimates the wave of the bed, propagating downstream, after finishing the re-fill of the mining pit.

In this study, the adjustment processes of the disturbed channels by sand or gravel mining were investigated by a two dimensional numerical model in the generalized coordinate system. As a numerical scheme, the CIP (cubic interpolated pseudoparticle method) method was used to calculate the advection term in the flow field and central difference method was used to the diffusion term in it. The pit of the channel was partially filled with sediment at the toe of the pit upstream. As time increased, the headcut erosion upstream in the pit was decreased due to the sediment inflow. The almost inflow sediment upstream was trapped into the pit and the sediment deposit wedge migrated downstream in the pit with the steep submerged angle of repose. The numerical model was reproduced well the evolution processes of the channel. The mining pit migrated with speed as the channel was steep, and the numerical results were in overall agreement with the experimental results.
