A drought-flood abrupt alternation event is an overlapping extreme event that is harder to cope with than a single event of drought and flood. It is also expected to have a significant adverse impact on ecosystems as well as industries and agriculture. However, there has not yet been a comprehensive study that characterizes the drought-flood abrupt alternation events in Korea. Therefore, this study employed a standard weighted average precipitation (SWAP) index, which is efficient to analyze not only individual events of drought and flood but also the drought-flood abrupt alternation events considering various time scales. The SWAP standardized the weighted average precipitation (WAP) by adding temporal weights to the precipitation. The SWAP indices were calculated for middle-sized watersheds of the Han River basin using the area average precipitation during 1966 and 2018. The severity K was calculated to represent the relative regional severity considering normal rainfalls, and used to characterize the drought-flood abrupt alternation in the study areas. The results indicated that 20 of the 30 middle-sized watersheds in the Han River basin were confirmed to increase the severity of drought-flood abrupt alternation over time. Considering the frequency and severity of drought-flood abrupt alternation events in each watershed, vulnerable areas and dangerous areas due to drought-flood abrupt alternation were identified, for example, the Upstream Namhan River (#1001).

동진강 유역은 김제평야를 품고 있어 다른 지역에 비해 농지면적이 차지하는 비중이 크며, 이에 따라 전체 용수 사용량에서 농업용수의 비중이 절대적으로 높은 유역이다. 낙양 보는 동진강 중·상류에 위치한 이수시설로 상류에 위치한 섬진강댐과 같이 동진강 유역의 농업용수 공급에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 낙양 보는 현재 동진강 방수문 4문, 김제간선 취입수문 2문, 정읍간선 취입수문 1문이 설치되어 있다. 관개기에는 동진강 도수로의 수문을 폐쇄하여 동진강 본류로의 하천유지용수를 차단하고 김제 배수로의 수문을 운용하여 농업용수를 공급하고 있으며 수혜구역의 용수수요 변화 및 기상상황, 하천상황에 따라 탄력적으로 운영하고 있다. 이러한 가동 보 운영으로 인하여 다양한 수위-유량관계의 변동성이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 가동 보 운영에 따른 수위-유량관계 곡선식의 변동성을 확인하기 위해 동진강 유역 낙양보 상류에 위치한 정읍시(거산교)관측소를 대상관측소로 선정하였다. 정읍시(거산교)관측소는 2012년에 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선을 2021년까지 사용하였고, 2022년 수위-유량관계곡선식 검증과 재개발을 위하여 유량측정을 실시하였다. 2012년에 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선은 검토 결과 강우에 의한 수위 상승시 보 완전 개방 상태의 측정성과를 확보하여 수위-유량관계 곡선식을 개발하였다. 그 결과 가동 보를 운영하는 3월~9월은 상류에 위치한 정읍시(행정교)관측소와 상하류 역전 현상이 발생하였고, 매년 비정상적인 유량이 산정되는 결과를 초래하였다. 2022년 신뢰도 높은 유량자료와 수위-유량관계곡선식 개발을 위해 낙양 보 완전개방 및 부분개방에 따른 다양한 유량측정성과와 낙양 보 수문 모니터링 결과를 확보하였다. 낙양 보는 2022년 1월~3월, 10월~12월은 수문 6문을 완전 개방하여 동진강에 하천유지용수를 공급하고, 4월부터 동진강 방수문을 폐쇄하여 농번기 농업용수를 확보한 후, 5월~9월에 확보된 농용수를 김제 배수문 2문을 부분개방하면서 공급하는 방식이다. 이 기간동안 낙양 보 수문에 대한 모니터링을 위해 정읍시(거산교)관측소 수위자료에 대한 검토를 실시하였으며, 유량측정시에는 정확한 유량측정성과와 곡선식 확인을 위하여 동일한 위치에서 측정을 수행하였다. 또한, 수위 또는 유량이 변하는 구간은 연속측정을 실시하였으며, 모니터링 결과와 유량측정성과를 바탕으로 수위-유량관계 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 저수위1식은 수문 완전개방, 저수위2식은 수문 완전폐쇄, 저수위3~6식은 수문 부분개방 곡선식을 개발하였으며, 저수위 구간은 낙양보 운영에 따라 총 27차례 기간분리가 발생하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 낙양 보 운영에 따른 다수의 유량측정성과와 모니터링 자료를 확보하였으며, 확보한 유량측정성과의 분석을 통한 신뢰도 높은 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하였고 이를 통해 생산된 유량자료는 정확도가 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

In this study, the volume of shoreline retreat at sea-cliffs in the Taean peninsula(West Coast of Korea) was estimated and their erosion and seasonal landforms characteristics changes were investigated through multi-temporal aerial photographs and field survey. Based on the analysis of aerial photographs through ortho-correction, the results show that the length of shoreline and erosion area increase as erosion at sea-cliffs occurs in Pado-li and Dundu-li. To obtain the seasonal quantitative landforms changes and retreat of sea-cliffs, we marked top, middle, and bottom datum-points, from which the distance to the nearest bedrock was repeatedly measured. In these regions, the retreat of sea-cliffs gradually increases in spring to summer, but gradually decreases in autumn. In particular, the typhoon that has a great influence on the Korean peninsula in July to September in summer would drastically increase the retreat of sea-cliffs in comparison with other seasons. As the outcrop of sea-cliffs repeats freezing and thawing in winter, the retreat of sea-cliffs increases a little due to active mechanical weathering. To know the erosion and seasonal landforms changes of sea-cliffs, we took pictures of them in every month and then analyze their condition. The retreat of sea-cliffs was repeatedly occurred by the circulation of the erosion of sea-cliff base, landslides, the formation of slope sediment debris and their erosion, in that order.

Electrical resistivity survey have been widely conducted at diverse scales, from a few centimeters for laboratory tests to kilometers for field tests. It measures electrical resistance through relationship of electric potential difference and current between two electrodes penetrated on the surface of medium, and eventually quantifies electrical resistivity known as inherent properties of the medium. In field or full-scale test, it assumes the electrodes as equivalent half-sphere electrodes that have a same surface area with different electrodes for ease of calculation because the contact area between electrode and medium is small and sufficient distance between two electrodes. However, small-scale laboratory test is significantly affected by the electrode geometries (penetrated depth, height, radius of electrode and distance between electrodes), which change the equipotential surface and electric current flow. Indeed, the electrode geometries may eventually cause a difference of electrical resistivity value. This study reviews the theoretical electrical resistance derived with various electrode geometries (half-sphere, cylinder, cylindrical with half-spherical tip, cylindrical with conical tip) and verifies the developed numerical module by comparing results with the theoretical electrical resistance. The distributions of electrical resistance around electrodes and among electrodes are analyzed. In addition, it is discussed how the electrical characteristic of cylindrical electrode with conical tip widely used in field test has effect on the electric current flow.

Infiltration is a process by which precipitation infuses into subsurface soils. The process determines the surface flow and baseflow volume, and it is one of most important hydrological processes regarding nonpoint source pollution management. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment has developed a guideline to determine the impervious area ratio to understand the hydrological process in administrative districts and watersheds. The impervious area ratio can be determined using land use or land cover maps. Three approaches were explored to determine the impervious area ratio in 25 districts in Seoul. The impervious area ratio was determined by employing the Land registration map and Land property data in the first approach, Land property map in the second approach, and Land cover map in the third approach. The ratio ranged from 38.96% to 83.01% in the first approach, 38.98% to 83.02% in the second approach, and 37.62% to 76.63% in the third approach. Although the ranges did not provide any significant differences in the approaches, some districts displayed differences up to 9.48% by the approach. These differences resulted from the fact that the data were land use or land cover, especially in the area of airport, residential complex area, and school sites. In other words, division of the pervious and impervious areas in an individual plot was not allowed in the Land registration map, while it was allowed in the Land cover map. Therefore, it was concluded that there is a need to revise the guideline so that a reasonable impervious area ratio can be determined in the districts.

In Korea, wetland policies are currently being pursued through long-term plans such as nationwide wetland surveys and wetland conservation basic plans. However, most policies focus on understanding the status of wetlands, such as their area, distribution, and biodiversity, and there is a lack of awareness regarding the need to conserve and manage wetland ecosystems as a single organism. Therefore, this study aims to identify potential riverine wetland sites that can be ecologically connected by considering functional aspects such as floodplain, biodiversity, habitat provision, and tourism resources. This study attempted to select a candidate site that could potentially provide ecological connectivity with three wetlands in the Nakdonggang River water system : Upo Wetland, Hwapocheon Wetland, and Junam Reservoir. 63 wetlands and 7 candidate sites located in 15 subwatersheds of the Nakdonggang River were analyzed, and the most suitable candidate site for ecological connectivity was selected based on the calculated scores. A suitability analysis was conducted using 9 evaluation factors to evaluate candidate sites, and the scoring method, using quantile, was applied to these factors. As a result, Upo2(Hopo) was selected as the most suitable site for ecological connectivity, receiving the highest score 36. Therefore, it is believed that Upo2(Hopo) can serve as a floodplain, habitat, biodiversity enhancer, and tourism resource while being the most suitable for ecological connectivity.

This study is to develop a grid-based daily runoff model considering seasonal vegetation canopy condition. The model simulates the temporal and spatial variation of runoff components (surface, interflow, and baseflow), evapotranspiration (ET) and soil moisture contents of each grid element. The model is composed of three main modules of runoff, ET, and soil moisture. The total runoff was simulated by using soil water storage capacity of the day, and was allocated by introducing recession curves of each runoff component. The ET was calculated by Penman-Monteith method considering MODIS leaf area index (LAI). The daily soil moisture was routed by soil water balance equation. The model was evaluated for 930 $km^2$ Yongdam watershed. The model uses 1 km spatial data on landuse, soil, boundary, MODIS LAI. The daily weather data was built using IDW method (2000-2008). Model calibration was carried out to compare with the observed streamflow at the watershed outlet. The Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency was 0.78~0.93. The watershed soil moisture was sensitive to precipitation and soil texture, consequently affected the streamflow, and the evapotranspiration responded to landuse type.

In this study, a methodology is developed for flood runoff analysis considering the interaction between interior floodplain and channel. Riparian lowland is modeled as storage areas by HEC-RAS and is connected with main channel through gravity drainage structure and pumping stations. As a result, we were able to compute the difference between runoff into the interior floodplain and delayed runoff to main channel from interior floodplain. This allowed us to compute the storage change in the interior floodplain and corresponding inundation areas. Furthermore, the levee is modeled as a lateral structure and the flood from the main channel to interior floodplain is modeled by installing a weir on top of it. In addition, levee breach is also modeled so that flooding from main channel to interior floodplain can be considered. Computed flooding depth in the storage areas are compared with elevation to identify the inundated areas and flood maps can then be produced for a desired time or for the extent of flooding given a flooding depth. Output from this modeling effort can provide many useful information for flood planning such as flow depth in main channel, flooding depth and area in interior floodplain. The method was applied to Sapgyo river basin and the comparison with observed flood events showed that it can reproduce the observation fairly well, hence proving the utility of the method.

Effective interception area of street grate inlets was decreased by clogging with trash, debris, and sand. It also decreased the interception capability of grate inlets and increased the inundation area in street. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the clogging characteristics and interception capability change by clogging for appropriate design and management of grate inlets. Hydraulic experimental apparatus which can be changed the gutter transverse slopes, longitudinal slopes of street and clogging condition of grate inlet ($40{\times}50cm$) was installed for this study. 81 total experiments were conducted with 8 different clogging condition. The interception capacities of grate inlets clogged curb direction are smaller than those of clogged flow direction. As the longitudinal slopes of street increase, the interception capacity of grate inlet decreases due to splash-over phenomena. This is also observed at grate inlets which has no clogging condition. In general, 50% of clogging factor was selected in design of grate inlet in foreign country. The clogging factor for same clogging condition are suggested 0.25~0.65 in domestic urban area.

Climate changes affect greatly natural ecosystem, human social and economic system acting on constituting the climate system such as air, ocean, life, glacier and land, etc. and estimating the current impact of climate change would be the most important thing to adapt to the climate changes. This study set the target area to Nakdong river watershed and investigated the impact of climate changes through analyzing precipitation tendency, and to understand the impact of climate changes on hydrological elements, analyzed elasticity of precipitation-streamflow. For the analysis of precipitation trend, collecting the precipitation data of the National Weather Service from major points of Nakdong river watershed, resampling them at the units of year, season and month, used as the data of precipitation trend analysis. To analyze precipitation-streamflow elasticity, collecting area average precipitation and long-term streamflow data provided by WAMIS, annual and seasonal time-series were analyzed. In addition, The results of this study and elasticity, and other abroad study compared with the elasticity analysis and the validity of this study was verified. Results of this study will be able to be utilized for study on a plan to increase of flood control ability of flooding constructs caused by the increase of streamflow around Nakdong river watershed due to climate changes and on a plan of adapting to water environment according to climate changes.
