In this study, flood runoff characteristics is analyzed according to subbasin divisions by physically based rainfall-runoff model and appropriate number of subbasin divisions is suggested for midsize test basins. The Clark method, a lumped model in HEC-HMS, and the ModClark method, a semi-distributed model are used to simulate rainfall-runoff processes on Andong-reservoir basin, Imha-reservoir basin, and Pyeongchang river basin. The test basins were divided into nine subdivision cases by equal-area subdivision method such as single basin, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, and 15 subbasins, and compared the simulated and observed values in terms of the peak flow and the peak time. The simulation results indicated that the peak flows tended to increase and the peak time shifted earlier as the number of subdivisions increased and this tendency weakened after the certain number of subdivisions. In this research, the specific number of subdivision was defined as the minimum number of subdivision considering both peak flow and peak time. Consequently, the minimum number of subdivisions is determined as 5 for Andong and Imha reservoir basins and 7 for Pyeongchang river basin.

우리나라는 기후변화 등으로 인해 강수량이 홍수기에 집중하고 갈수기에 감소하는 강우 편중현상이 심화되고 있어 유역 환경에 변화가 발생하고 있다. 특히, 농업지역에서 유역 환경 변화에 따른 하천수의 부족은 농배수에 의한 수질오염의 심화와 농업 및 생활용수 확보의 어려움 등의 문제를 발생시키고 이러한 문제들은 상 하류간의 지역갈등을 유발시키는 등 경제적, 환경적, 사회적 손실을 초래한다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 유역 환경 변화에 따른 수질 변화를 분석하고 이에 대한 대응 방안으로 농배수 조정지를 조성하여 농업지역의 용수를 확보하고 수질을 개선하고자 하였다. 합천은 용도지역면적 중 대부분이 농촌지역이며 논 77.4%, 밭 22.6%의 비율로 논의 이용이 밭보다 3배 이상 높아 농배수 조정지를 조성하기에 적합한 지역이라 판단하였다. 따라서 합천지역의 황강유역을 대상지역으로 선정하고 물리적 기반의 준분포형 장기강우유출모형인 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 모의하였다. 황강유역 내의 HRU(Hydrologic Response Unit)별 수질 변화를 분석하고, 농배수 조정지 조성에 따른 수질 개선 정도를 분석하였다. 또한 농배수 조정지의 HRU별 추가 조성에 따른 낙동강 본류에 합류되는 황강유역 하류의 수질 개선 효과를 분석하였다.

This study is to evaluate the parameter behavior of VfloTM distributed rainfall-runoff model by applying 3 kinds of rainfall interpolation methods viz. Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), Kriging (KRI), and Thiessen network (THI). For the 1,544 $km^2$ Dongcheon watershed of Nakdong river, the model was calibrated using 4 storm events in 2007 and 2009, and validated using 2 storm events in 2010. The model was calibrated with Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency of 0.97 for IDW, 0.94 for KRI, and 0.95 for THI respectively. For the sensitive parameters, the saturated hydraulic conductivity ($K_{sat}$) for IDW, KRI, and THI were 0.33, 0.31, and 0.43 cm/hr, and the soil suction head at the wetting front (${\Psi}_f$) were 4.10, 3.96, and 5.19 cm $H_2O$ respectively. These parameters affected the infiltration process by the spatial distribution of antecedent moisture condition before a storm.

This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between various factors and soil erosion or deposition, simulated from distributed rainfall-sediment-runoff model applications. We selected area, overland flow length, local slope as catchment representative characteristics among many important geographic factors and also used the grid-based accumulated rainfall as a representative hydro-climatic factor to assess the effect of these two different types of factors on erosion and deposition. The study catchment was divided based on the Strahler's stream order method for analysis of the relationship between area and erosion or deposition. Both erosion and deposition increased linearly as the catchment area became larger. Erosion occurred widely throughout the catchment, whereas deposition was observed at the grid-cells near the channel network with short overland flow lengths and mild slopes. In addition, the relationship results between grid-based accumulated rainfall and soil erosion or deposition showed that erosion increased gradually as rainfall amount increased, whereas deposition responded irregularly to variations in rainfall. Within the context of these results, it can be concluded that deposition is closely related with the geographic factors used in this study while erosion is significantly affected by rainfall.

최근의 유출해석은 지리정보체계(GIS, Geographic Information System) 및 지형자료(DEM, Digital Elevation Model 등) 구축의 발달로 대부분 격자 기반의 분포형 강우-유출 모형을 통해 이루어지고 있으며, Rodriguez-Iturbe and Valdes (1979)에 의해 소개된 통계물리학적 접근방법인 지형학적 순간단위도(GIUH)모형 역시 DEM을 기반으로 한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어 온 실정이다(Maidment, 1993; D'odorico and Rigon, 2003; Di Lazzaro, 2010). 이러한 격자 기반 모형들은 대부분 8방향 최급경사에 기초한 흐름방향도를 기반으로 물의 유동을 표현한다. 8방향법에 의해 결정된 흐름방향도를 이용할 경우 각 격자 중심에서 유역출구 까지의 배수로경로길이를 비교적 쉽고, 빠르게 계산할 수 있다는 장점을 가지나, 공간해상도(격자 규모)에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내는 것을 예상할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DEM의 공간해상도에 따른 배수경로길이의 통계적 변화양상을 살펴보고, 이로부터 실제 수문사상의 통계적 특성과 Di Lazzaro(2010)의 특성유속산정 공식을 이용해 지표면과 하천의 특성유속을 산정하였다. 산정된 특성유속들을 D'odorico and Rigon(2003)이 제시한 값과 비교함으로써 격자 기반의 GIUH 모형의 적용에 있어서 적정 공간해상도를 찾고자 하였다. 대상유역으로는 국제수문개발계획(IHP, International Hydrological Project)의 금강수계 보청천 유역 중 이평수위국을 출구로하는 소유역을 선정하였으며, DEM의 공간해상도는 수치지형도의 축척을 고려하여 1: 5,000의 경우 5, 10, 15, 20m를, 1: 25,000의 경우 20, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200m로 결정하였다. 분석 결과 격자 형태 GIUH의 특성유속을 산정을 위한 적정 공간해상도는 1:5,000의 경우 5m를, 1:25,000의 경우에는 20～50m의 범위를 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

As climate changes and abnormal climates have drawn research interest recently, many countries utilize the GCM, which is based on SRES suggested by IPCC, to obtain more accurate forecast for future climate changes. Especially, many research attempts have been made to simulate localized geographical characteristics by using RCM with the high resolution data globally. To evaluate the impacts of climate and landuse change on water resources in the Han-river basin, we carried out the procedure consisting of the CA-Markov Chain, the Multi-Regression equation using two independent variables of temperature and rainfall, the downscaling technique based on the RegCM3 RCM, and SLURP. From the CA-Markov Chain, the future landuse change is forecasted and the future NDVI is predicted by the Multi-Regression equation. Also, RegCM3 RCM 50 sets were generated by the downscaling technique based on the RegCM3 RCM provided by KMA. With them, 90 year runoff scenarios whose period is from 2001 to 2090 are simulated for the Han-river basin by SLURP. Finally, the 90-year simulated monthly runoffs are compared with the historical monthly runoffs for each dam in the basin. At Paldang dam, the runoffs in September show higher increase than the ones in August which is due to the change of rainfall pattern in future. Additionally, after exploring the impact of the climate change on the structure of water circulation, we find that water management will become more difficult by the changes in the water circulation factors such as precipitation, evaporation, transpiration, and runoff in the Han-river basin.

Common practice of Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model validation is to use a single variable (i.e., streamlfow) to calibrate SWAT model due to the paucity of actual hydrological measurement data in Korea. This approach, however, often causes errors in the simulated results because of numerous sources of uncertainty and complexity of SWAT model. We employed multi-variables (i.e., streamflow, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture), which were measured at mixed forest in Seolmacheon catchment ($8.54\;km^2$), in order to assess the performance and reduce the uncertainties of SWAT model output. Meteorological and surface topographical data of the catchment were obtained as basic input variables and SWAT model was calibrated using daily data of streamflow (Jan. - Dec.), evapotranspiration (Sep. - Dec.), and soil moisture (Jun. - Dec.) collected in 2007. The model performance was assessed by comparing its results with the observation (i.e., streamflow of 2003 to 2008 and evapotranspiration and soil moisture of 2008). When the multi-variable measurements were used to calibrate the SWAT model, the model results showed better agreement with the measurements compared to those using a single variable measurement by showing increases in coefficient of determination ($R^2$) from 0.72 to 0.76 for streamflow, from 0.49 to 0.59 for soil moisture, and from 0.52 to 0.59 for evapotranspiration. The findings highlight the importance of reliable and accurate collective observation data for improving performance of SWAT model and promote its facilitation for estimating more realistic hydrological cycles at catchment scale.

Water pollution problems of urban rivers due to the urbanization and industrialization have been the subject of public attention. In particular, considering the fact that the characteristics of water cycle of each basin change dramatically through the development of new towns, a large number of concerns about future water quality have been raised. However, reasonable measures to predict future water quality quantitatively have not been presented by this moment. In this study, by the linkage of annual unit load generation based on long-term monitoring results of the ministry of environment (MOE) to a semi-distributed rainfall runoff model, SWMM (Storm Water Management Model), we proposed a new methodology to estimate future water quality macroscopically and testified it to verify its applicability for the estimation of future water quality of a small watershed at G new town. As a result of the estimation using Y-EMC (Yearly based Event Mean Concentration), future water quality were simulated as BOD 18.7, T-N 16.1 and T-P 0.85 mg/L respectively which could not achieve the grade III of domestic river life guidance and these criteria could be satisfied by the reduction of domestic wastewater discharge load by over 80%. The results of this study are shown to be utilized for one of basic tools to estimate and manage water quality of urban rivers in the course of new town developments.

In this study, after the target basin was divided into both overland and channel grids, the travel time from center of each grid cell to watershed's outlet was calculated based on the manning equation. Through this process, volumetric discharge was calculated according to the isochrones and finally, the direct runoff hydrograph was estimated considering watershed's hydrodynamic characteristics. Sanseong subwatershed located in main stream of Bocheong basin was selected as a target basin. The model parameters are only two: area threshold and channel velocity correction factor; the optimized values were estimated at 3,800 and 3.3, respectively. The developed model based on the tuned parameters led to well-matching results between observed and calculated hydrographs (mean of absolute error of peak discharge: 3.41%, mean of absolute error of peak time: 0.67 hr). Moreover, the analysis results regarding histogram of travel time-contribution area demonstrates that the proposed model characterizes relatively well hydrodynamic characteristics of the catchment due to effective rainfall.

In this study, we analyzed probability distribution of EMCs (Event Mean Concentration) of COD, TOC, T-N, T-P and SS from rice paddy fields and compared the mean values of observed EMCs and the median values of estimated EMCs ($EMC_{50}$) through probability distribution. The field monitoring was conducted during a period of four crop-years (from May 1, 2008, to September 30. 2011) in a rice cultivation area located in Emda-myun, Hampyeong gun, Jeollanam-do, Korea. Four probability distributions such as Normal, Log-normal, Gamma, and Weibull distribution were used to fit values of EMCs from rice paddy fields. Our results showed that the applicable probability distributions were Normal, Log-normal, and Gamma distribution for COD, and Normal, Log- Normal, Gamma and Weibull distribution for T-N, and Log-normal, Gamma and Weibull distribution for T-P and TOC, and Log-normal and Gamma distribution for SS. Log-normal and Gamma distributions were acceptable for EMCs of all water quality constituents(COD, TOC, T-N, T-P and SS). Meanwhile, mean value of observed COD was similar to median value estimated by the gamma distribution, and TOC, T-N, T-P, and SS were similar to median value estimated by log-normal distribution, respectively.
