현재 다양한 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있는 지하투과레이더(Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR)를 이용하여 지하수면 및 함수량을 추정하였다. 비피압대수층 내에서의 얕은 포화대(saturated zone) 깊이을 산정하는 연구(livari and Doolittle, 1994, van Overmeeren, 1994)와 포화대 상부 습윤대(wetting fronts)의 거동를 조사한 연구(Vellidis et al, 1990) 등에 활용된 바 있는 GPR 기숙을 바탕으로 비피압대수층의 통기대와 포화대 내의 함수량 및 지하수면 추정을 위한 기초 실험을 수행하였다. 지하수면 및 함수량의 현장 적용성을 검증하기 위해서는 시간과 경제적인 면에서 비효율적인 점을 고려하여 사질토로 구성된 실험용 토조를 제작하여 건조시 획득된 GPR 자료, 지하수면의 변화에 따른 GPR 이미지를 비교하여 그 적용성을 검토하고 시${\cdot}$공간적 지하수면의 정확한 추정을 위해서 삼차원으로 비교${\cdot}$검토할 수 있도록 하였으며, GPR 자료의 정확성을 검증하기 위해서 토조 하부에 액주계(piezometer)를 설치하였다. 본 연구에서 적용된 GPR 실험은 획득된 이미지의 해석에 다소 어려움이 있지만 토양을 교란시키지 않고 비교적 간편하게 함수랑 및 지하수면의 위치를 파악하는데 매우 효과적이며, 추가적으로 GPR을 이용한 다양한 실험이 수행된다면 GPR 기술은 향후 기존 방법에서 쉽게 판단하기 어려운 시${\cdot}$공간적인 함수량 및 지하수의 분포 특성을 효율적으로 파악하는데 매우 큰 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

In Korea, the aquifers at the coastal areas are mostly shallow alluvial unconfined aquifers. To simulate the flow and dispersion in unconfined aquifer, a FDM model has been developed to solve the nonlinear Boussinesq equation. Related analysis and verification have been executed. The iteration method is used to solve the nonlinearity, and the model shows 3-D shape because it is a 2-D y model that consider the undulation of water table and bottom. For the verification of the model, the output of flow module is compared to the 1-D analytic solution of Lee (1989) which have the drawdown or uplift boundary condition, and the two results show almost the same value. and the mass balance of dispersion module shows about 10% error. The developed model can be used for the analysis and design of the flow and dispersion in the unconfined aquifers. The model has been applied to the estuary area of Ssangcheon watershed, and the parameters have been deduced as a result : hydraulic conductivity is 90 m/day, and longitudinal dispersivity is 15 m. And the analysis with these parameters shows that the wells are situated in the influence circle of each others except for No. 7 well. Groundwater discharge to sea is $3700m^3/day$. And the chlorine ion ($cl^-$) concentration at the pumping wells increase at least 1000 mg/L if groundwater dam is not exist, so the groundwater dam plays an important role for the prevention of sea water intrusion.

Unsteady groundwater flow in a three-layer unconfined aquifer has been studied theoretically and experimentally. Two different methods have been used in solving the governing equations of the flow, the nonlinear partial differential equations; (1) The governing equations are linearized for each layer and approximate solutions are obtained. (2) The governing equations are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations, which are solved numerically by Runge-Kutta procedure. Fine, middle sized and coarse sands are used in the experiments. It is found that the solutions from the method(2) ( the reduction of partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations) give better agreement with the experimental results than the solution from the method(1).

This study shows the assessment methodology for the water resources of subsurface dams. The study area is SSangcheon subsurface dam. It is at the estuary of SSangcheon watershed forming the unconfined alluvial aquifer. there are several candidate area which are geologically similar to it at East coast. The groundwater level was computed by a 2-D FDM model, where the watershed discharge is the input as the infiltration term. The baseflow computed as the mean value of 3 watershed dischrge model is $0.5m^3/sec$. And considering the inflow near the baseflow as the dry season inflow, The groundwater level according to the change of inflow and pumping rate was computed. Specifically, Using the real pumping rate $28000m^3/day$ which is equal to the supply amount of drinking water to Sokcho city, The inflow which induce the descended groundwater level to the bottom of aquifer or the ascended groundwater level that cause the surface flow was eatimated. The simulation for increased pumping rate and additional well construction to increase the water resources, was executed. And at the extreme dry season, available pumping rate was estimated.

미래 기후 정보를 이용한 수문 환경의 단기 미래 예측은 안정적 수자원 공급을 위한 필수적 과제이다. 미국 플로리다 주 중서부 템파지역에서는 주요 수자원 중 하나인 지하수의 효과적 활용을 위해 지하수위 인공신경망 모델 (GWANN)을 개발하여 피압 대수층과 비피압 대수층에 대한 주 단위 평균 지하수위를 월별로 예측하고 그 결과를 수자원 공급 의사 결정에 반영하고 있다. 본 논문은 템파지역에 대한 GWANN 모델을 이용한 지하수위 예측 시스템을 소개하고 모델의 기후 입력 자료의 민감도를 분석함으로써 양질의 기후 정보에 대한 현 시스템의 활용성을 검토하였다. 2006년과 2007년에 대한 연구 결과, 관측 자료를 최적 예측 시나리오 (the best forecast)로 가정하여 적용한 결과는 지하수위 관측 지점에 따라 큰 차이를 보였지만 일반적으로 현 시스템 (현 시점의 실시간 주 단위 평균 강우량을 향후 4주간 동일하게 적용함) 에 비해 예측 성능이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 더불어 강우 관측 자료의 백분위 (percentile forecast; 20분위, 50분위, 80분위)를 강우 예측 자료로 활용한 경우에도 현 시스템과 비교하여 일부 나은 결과를 보여주었다. 그러나 지하수위 예측 모델을 활용하지 않고 현 시점의 지하 수위가 지속된다고 가정하는 경우 (na$\ddot{i}$ve model) 향후 2주간의 예측 결과가 best forecast 경우에 비해 높은 정확도를 보이는 등, GWANN 모델의 단기 예측에 대한 양질의 강우 예측 정보의 활용성은 낮으며, 향후 3주 이상에 대한 예측 성능에 있어 best forecast결과가 na$\ddot{i}$ve model 결과에 비해 높은 정확도를 보이기 시작하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 GWANN 모델의 예측 성능은 적용 기간과 지역 및 지하대수층의 특성에 따라 큰 다양성을 가지는 단점을 보여 강우 예측 자료 활용에 앞서 모델 개선의 필요성이 있다고 판단된다. 본 연구는 단기수자원 공급 계획 수립을 위하여 사용되는 지역 모델링 시스템에 대한 기후 예측정보의 활용성 평가를 위한 방법론으로 고려될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

It is important to extract and assess low-flow recession characteristics for water resources management in the upper reaches of a stream. It is difficult to express the groundwater flow recession characteristics for streamflow synthetically. The linear recession model has been widely used by baseflow recession analysis for reason of simplicity and convenience, but recent studies show that nonlinear recession models fit well, and the relationship between the reservoir storage of shallow unconfined aquifers and the groundwater discharge was to be identified as nonlinear in the literature based on the analysis of numerous streamflow recession curves. The objective of the study is to decode these nonlinear characteristics, including evaporation loss, storage, and recharge of groundwater using streamflow. By analyzing the observed time series of streamflow from the study area, which is the Pyeongchang River basin in Korea, the main components of the underlying groundwater balance, namely, discharge, evaporation loss, storage, and recharge, can be identified and quantified. As a result of the study, depletion of groundwater by evapotranspiration losses through the water uptake of tree roots was found to bias the recession curves and the estimated reservoir parameters. The seasonality of both rainfall and potential evaporation, analysis of the recession curves, stratified according to time of the year, allowed the quantification of evapotranspiration loss as a function of a calendar month and stored groundwater storage.

The rates of infiltration contributed to the flow fo water in an unconfined aquifer under the partially penetrated stream at an ungaged station and the corresponding base flow in channel are coupled by using the hydraulic and/or hydrologic characteristics obtained from the geomorphologic and soil maps. For the determination of groundwater flow, the linearized model which is originally Boussinesq's nonlinear equation is applied in this study. Also, a stream flow routing model for base flow in channel is based on a simplification of the Saint-venant. The distributed runoff model with piecewise spatial uniformity is presented for obtaining its solution based on a finite difference technique of the kinematic wave equations. The method developed in this study was tested to the Bocheong watershed(area : $475.5km^2$) of the natural stream basin which is one of tributaries in Geum River basin in Korea. As a result, it is suggested that the rationality of hydro-graph separation according to a wide variability in hydrogeologic properties be worked out as developing the physically based subsurface model. The results of the present model are shown to be possible to simulate a base flow due to an arbitrary rate of infiltration for ungaged basins.
