The dynamics of the fish community in the Lake Hoengseong region, Korea, were investigated from April 2000 to November 2004. During the surveyed period 39 species belonging 10 families were collected, and there were 17 Korean endemic species (43.59%) including Rhodeus pseudosericeus. Dominant species were Acheilognathus lanceolatus (20.10%), Zacco platypus (15.94%), Z. temmincki (6.92%), Carassius cuvieri (6.33%), A. rhombeus (6.18%), Pungtungia herzi (5.13%), and Pseudorasbora parva (4.93), In the comparison community of fish according to ecotype by each studied years, benthic fished are gradually decreasing and pelagic fishes creasing. Also, according to the fish distribution, the fish community of each studied years was divided into 3 groups by UPGMA. Being based on the fish community, similarity analysis results of each artificial lakes and this lake were divided 2 groups by water system, and divided again 3 groups in the same water system. Fish Community of the Lake Hoengseong was similar with that of the Lake Chuncheon and Cheongpyeong of the Bukhan-River.

Traditional methods for the extraction of the environmental factors of waters in which environmental change is severer than in the land can not examine closely the changed phenomena because of the lack of equipments, manpower, time and cost, etc. Therefore, new practical and efficient methods are required. The research for the method to manage environment of the waters with remote sensing technology was needed. This study examined the interrelations between the data by an on-the-spot survey and Landsat TM data and presented the model for extracting factors of water quality with regression analysis and experimental formula.

북한강 수계는 여러 하천을 지류로 갖고 유하하고 있으며 하천의 크기 및 본류의 형상에 따라 다양한 방법으로 지류하천이 합류하고 있으나 기존의 지류하천 홍수위 산정방법은 일률적으로 본류의 계획홍수위를 기점홍수위으로 산정하여 계획하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에는 다양한 지류하천에 대하여 2차원 수치해석을 이용 합류부 지점의 수면형을 해석함으로써 지류 하천의 기존 기점홍수위 적용방법의 적정성에 대하여 검증하였다. 연구방법은 11개 연구대상 지류 하천에 대하여 유입각, 본류와 지류의 유량비 및 하천폭, 본류의 하천 곡선방법에 대하여 수치해석결과를 비교하였다. 유입각에 따른 수위편차를 검토한 결과, 유입각 $90^{\circ}$이하인 지류하천에서 2차원 수치해석 값이 기존 기점홍수위보다 크게 산정되었다. 본류 하천과 지류 하천과의 유량비를 산정하여 수위편차를 검토한 결과 수치적인 경향은 확인할 수 없었다. 본류 하천과 지류 하천의 하폭비를 산정하여 수위편차를 비교한 결과 하폭비가 7이상인 경우 수위편차가 작고, 기존 기점홍수위보다 2차원 수치해석값이 작게 산정되었으며, 하폭비가 $3^{\sim}6$ 범위에서는 수위편차가 가장 크게 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 본류 하천의 곡선반경을 수위편차와 비교한 결과 곡선반경이 550m이하인 만곡지점의 경우 수위편차가 크게 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다.

현재 한강수계에서는 북한강 상류에 건설된 임남댐(저수용량 26억$m^3$)으로 인하여 화천댐 상류 유역계의 변화가 발생하였다. 화천댐의 경우, 기존의 발전용량을 포함한 안정적 방류계획에 변화가 발생하여 기존 저수지 용량의 효율적인 관리기술의 실증이 필요한 시점이다. 또한, 향후 기후변화 및 용수이용 증가에 대비한 안정적인 물공급을 위해 하천유출량의 시 공간적인 평가 및 가용수자원의 평가는 보다 합리적이고 정확하게 이루어져야 하며, 이를 위해 준분포형 유역유출-저수지 운영 결합해석 모형이 필수적으로 도입되어야 할 시점이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 SWAT-K(과학기술부, 2007)를 이용하여 기존댐의 최적 운영룰을 도출한 후, 팔당호에서의 유황개선 효과를 정량적으로 분석하여 수자원 확보량을 평가하고자 하였다. 화천댐의 경우, 방류시나리오로 기존 운영실적을 기준으로 홍수기 중 9월 방류량을 50% 감소, 비홍수기 중 $11{\sim}3$월 방류량을 50% 증가시켜 적용하였을 때 최적 운영룰이 도출되었으며, 이때 갈수량 이하의 10일간 유황개선을 통하여 분석기간에 대하여 0.12억$m^3$의 수자원 확보가 이루어질 수 있었다.

biotic indices scoring with the benthic macroinvertebrates were assessed as pollution monitoring tools in the north branch of the Han River system, Korea. We investigated the temporal variability of water quality at unpolluted, moderately polluted and heavily polluted sites using several biotic indices and assessed appropriate biological monitoring indices for lotic systems in Korea. The following biotic and chemical indices were employed in order to compare their applicability to the lotic systems : Trent Biotic Index (TBI), Chandler's Biotic Index-Average Score per Taxon (CBI-ASPT), Modified Biological Monitoring Working Party Score System-Average Score per Taxon (BMWP-ASPT), Hilsenhoff's biotic Index (BI) and Family-level Biotic Index (FBI) models for biotic analyses and National Sanitation foundation's Water Quality Index (NSFWQI) and comprehensive Chemical Pollution Index (Pb/n) for chemical analyses of water quality. Index and score values were compared with each other and with 24 water chemistry parameters. All biotic indices were significantly auto-correlated (p<0.001) and BI and FBI/ROK among them were highly correlated (r=0.84). BI and BMWP-ASPT models were also highly correlated with NSFWQI, while TBI values showed high correlation with the Pb/n. The BI and BMWP-ASPT were highly correlated with the most water chemistry parameters. We conclude that the BI model, which includes indicator species and abundance of taxa, is best suited for the bioassessment of lotic systems in Korea. For rapid field-based assessments, FBI/ROK and BMWP-ASPT models are also appropriate.

비점오염물질 중 토사는 강우유출수의 많은 부분을 차지하며, 영양물질과 중금속을 비롯한 다양한 오염물질들이 흡착되어 있는 경우가 많다. 북한강 상류 유역의 만대지구에서는 고랭지밭에서 다량의 토사가 발생하여 하류수계의 수질 및 수생태계에 다양한 문제를 야기시킨다. 이에 한국의 환경부에서는 Web GIS 기반의 고랭지밭 GIS시스템을 개발하여 고랭지밭을 체계적으로 관리하고자 하였다. 고랭지밭 GIS시스템은 고랭지밭에 대한 DB를 구축하여 국유지, 시·도유지 중에서 임대허가를 받지 않고 경작을 하는 임의/불법경작지를 분석한다. 만대지구의 임의/불법경작지는 3.57 km² 으로 전체 경작지 면적의 약 20.7%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 임의/불법 경작지가 복구되었을때의 토양유실량 저감효율을 분석하기 위하여 SWAT 모델을 사용하였으며, MUSLE 공식의 지수 및 계수를 수정하여 토양유실량을 보정하였다.

Lately, it is an important concern in water resources research to maintain a stable water supply according to a future climate change and an increase in water use. In Han-River basin, approximately 10 % of water resources that is provided the capital region (Gyeonggi, Seoul etc.) has been reduced as a consequence of the construction of Imnam Dam (storage volume: 27 billion $m^3$) located in the upper Hwacheon Dam upstream area. Therefore, streamflows have decreased in Bukhangang basin, but it could not be evaluated quantitatively. In this study, SWAT-K which is the physically based long-term runoff simulation model, was used in order to evaluate the effect of Imnam Dam on the reduced inflow to Hwacheon Dam according to the change of hydrological condition in the upstream area of Hwacheon Dam. For the model input data of North Korea area, meteorological data of GTS (Global Telecommunication System) were used, and soil maps by FAO/UNESCO (2003) were applied. Temporal variations of water resources is investigated with comparison of observed and simulated inflows at Hawcheon Dam site. Also, annual, monthly, seasonal decreases in water resources were evaluated using the flow duration analysis of simulated streamflows with or without Imnam dam.

To investigate the effect of upstream dam operation and river water use on the downstream flows, SWAT-K watershed model was applied to the Paldang Dam watershed of the Han River basin. Analysis results from 2001 to 2009 showed that outflows from the multi-purpose dams such as the Soyanggang Dam and Chungju Dam much have a strong influence on the downstream flows during both the low- and high-flow seasons. This resulted an increase of low-flow at the Paldang Dam, the end of Pukhangang, and the Yangpyeong stage station by $100.57m^3/s$, $33.01m^3/s$, and $49.66m^3/s$, respectively. Whereas, the impact of river water use was hardly found in the Pukhangang, and also was not significant in the (Nam)hangang. Therefore, the effect of small dam such as the Hoengseong Dam or river water use would be able be excluded for long-term runoff analysis. But, in the case of the areas with a large amount of water use, a sufficient information such water-intake and water movement also must be taken into account like this study.

A freshwater bivalve (Unio douglasiae) was examined to assess the filtering rate (FR) on the cyanobacterial assemblage in a hypertrophic lake. Animal U. douglasiae used in the present study was collected using a hand-operated dredge from the North Han River (Gapyeong, Korea). The FR was measured at different feeding conditions such as feeding interval (1, 4, 7, and 24 h), mussel size (4.2$\sim$8.1 cm, n=23), prey concentration (506.7, 409.8, 327.5, 199.7 and 88.6 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$), and mussel density (0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 indiv. $L^{-1}$). On the applied feeding interval, the maximum FR (0.21 L $g^{-1}h^{-1}$) and minimum feces production (FP, 0.12 mg $g^{-1}h^{-1}$) were observed at 1 and 24 hr, respectively. Both weight-based FR and FP were not correlated with the mussel size, and the values lied in a limited range with some degree of variation. Likewise, no significant relations between FR and FP were observed in the mussel size. The FR values were negatively correlated with food concentration, but positively with FP. For the food concentrations, the maximum FR (0.41 L $g^{-1}h^{-1}$) and FP (0.16 mg $g^{-1}h^{-1}$) were 88.6 ${\mu}gL^{-1}$ and 327.5 ${\mu}gL^{-1}$, respectively. These results indicate that U. douglasiae collected from the North Han River, although the filtering rate were slightly less than Keum River mussel, may be applied as a strategic bio-filter to mitigate cyanobacterial bloom in eutrophic lake.
