This study assessed the efficiency of reducing soil erosion and suspended sediment through the restoration of alpine unauthorized and illegally cultivated fields, using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model in the Mandae District. The results showed that in Scenario 5, which involved restoring unauthorized and illegal fields within forests, along rivers (banks), and in ditch areas were restored to their original land categories, achieved the highest efficiency in reducing average annual soil erosion and suspended sediment, with reductions of 8.1% and 4.5%, respectively. In particular, it was confirmed that the restoration of unauthorized and illegal fields within forested areas has a significant impact. This demonstrated that the restoration of unauthorized and illegal agricultural fields can substantially reduce the soil erosion and suspended sediment attributable to non-point source pollution. Our findings highlight the importance of managing these unauthorized and illegal agricultural activities in developing sustainable strategies within non-point source pollution management areas. This study is expected to provide important basic data to effectively establish water quality improvement strategies in the region of non-point source pollution management.

Sediment-laden water leads to water quality degradation in streams; therefore, best management practices must be implemented in the source area to control nonpoint source pollution. Field monitoring was implemented to measure precipitation, direct runoff, and sediment concentrations at a control plot and straw-applied plot to examine the effect on sediment reduction in this study. A hydrology model, which employs Curve Number (CN) to estimate direct runoff and the Universal Soil Loss Equation to estimate soil loss, was selected. Twenty-five storm events from October 2010 to July 2012 were observed at the control plot, and 14 storm events from April 2011 to July 2011 at the straw-applied plot. CN was calibrated for direct runoff, and the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency and coefficient of determination were 0.66 and 0.68 at the control plot. Direct runoff at the straw-applied plot was calibrated using the percentage direct runoff reduction. The estimated reduction in sediment load by direct runoff reduction calibration alone was acceptable. Therefore, direct runoff-sediment load behaviors in a hydrology model should be considered to estimate sediment load and the reduction thereof.

기후변화는 자연적 요인보다는 인간의 활동으로부터 기인하는 것으로 알려진다. 지구 온난화의 영향으로 우리나라의 평균 기온은 상승하고 있으며, 강수량 또한 증가추세에 있다. 이러한 미래 기온의 상승과 강수량의 변화는 나아가 수문 순환에 영향을 미치며, 수자원의 효과적인 이용을 위하여 기후변화에 따른 수문 순환 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국제 수문 프로그램의 대상 유역 중 하나로 장기간의 강우-유출 자료가 구축되어있는 청미천 유역을 대상으로, 기후변화에 따른 지표 유출량 변화를 살펴본다. 기후변화를 전망하기 위한 방법으로 인간 활동이 대기에 미치는 복사량으로 온실 가스 농도를 정의하는 시나리오인 대표농도경로(Reperentative Concentration Pathway, RCP)를 적용하였다. 기상청에서 제공되는 여러 RCP 시나리오 중 기후변화가 현재의 추세를 쫓아 상승 형태를 나타내는 RCP 8.5 시나리오와 저감 정책이 어느 정도 실현되어 형태가 안정된 RCP 4.5 시나리오 두 개를 선정하였다. 기후변화 시나리오는 근본적으로 불확실성을 포함하기 때문에, 특정 기후변화를 가정하기 보다는 특성이 대비되는 두 개 시나리오를 적용하여 기후변화의 발달 정도에 따른 유출량 변화를 살펴보고자 한다. 장기간의 수문 순환 특성을 모의하기 위하여 준 분포형 장기유출 모형인 Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT)을 이용하며, SWAT에서 요구되는 방대한 양의 매개변수들은 매개변수의 최적값 산정 프로그램인 SWAT Calibration and Uncerntianty Programs (SWAT-CUP)을 통해 얻는다. 과거의 강우-유출 자료로부터 구축된 SWAT 모형에 기후변화 시나리오를 적용함으로써 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 지표유출량 변화를 살펴볼 수 있다. 구축된 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 모의를 한 결과, 두 개 시나리오 모두에서 청미천 유역의 지표유출량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 RCP 4.5 시나리오보다 RCP 8.5 시나리오에서 더 많은 유출이 발생할 것으로 전망된다. 유출량의 증가와 함께 총 부유사량 또한 증가 추세에 있으며, RCP 8.5 시나리오에서 더 많은 유출이 계산된다. 이러한 유출량의 증가는 강수량, 기온, 일사량, 풍속, 습도와 같은 기후 특성의 변화가 고려된 결과로 판단된다. 기후변화에 따른 총 유사량의 증가는 범용토양 유실공식에서 강우 에너지의 증가로 인해 유출량과 동일한 양상을 띠는 것으로 판단된다.

Reduced trend of surface velocity, length of the separated drop area and width of potential core have been verified through experimental study of flow characteristics at the step down. To inverstigate sediment behaviors, experimental study which involved accumulated sediment transport reducing water velocity in the separated drop area was performed. From the experimental results, surface velocity, length of the separated drop area and width of potential core were formulated, and calculated output was corroborated by experimental outcome. Furthermore an examination of the parameter which is defined by $q_{sf}$/$q_{uo}$ was performed by detecting sediment in the separated drop area. Therefore these experiments can express the phenomena of flow characteristics and sediment behaviors at the step down.

To understand the drift-diffusion of HAB(Harmful Algal Bloom) in this paper, we used three-dimensional hydrodynamic model POM(Pringceton Ocean Model) and Lagrangian particle track module. First, the results of residual flow that considered tide, wind, temperature, salinity, and TWC(Tsushima Warm Current) effect was tend to northeast in the coastal area and the flow in the offshore region showed results similar to TWC. To understand of HAB's movement, released each area that southern Kamak bay(Case 1), Mijo coast(Case 2), and southern Mireukdo coast(Case 3) assumption that red tide occurred. The areas where the HAB occurs frequently. As a result of HAB occurred in southern Kamak Bay(Case 1), mainly drifts to Narodo coast and Yeoja bay that located on the west side. Case 2 was mainly drifts to Yokjido coast and Saryangdo coast Especially, HAB occurred in Mireukdo coast(Case 3) relatively many particles drift to eastward as the influence of the TWC.
