  • River works for water utilization have substantially altered the natural flow regime, and it has resulted in deformation of healthy river ecosystems. In Korea, river restoration projects have conducted actively since 1990's. Major purposes of the river restoration are the rehabilitation of modified river channel, improvement of water quality, and creation of aquatic habitats as well as recreational spaces using natural material for river work. However, there have been little interests about the restoration of flow regime which influences to most aspects of river ecosystems. The restoration of natural flow regime has received much attention in preservation of aquatic ecosystems. It should be needed to explore the relationship between flow regime and river ecosystems, and the restoring flow regime is essential. This paper introduce the concept of environmental flow through the interrelation between flow regime and river ecosystem. It provides rolls of flow regime and addresses the method of establishing target flow regime using the RVA(Range of Variability Approach) that suggested by Richter et al.(1997) through analysis of altered flow pattern case of Han river basin.

  • Ecological restoration is considered a good means to prevent biodiversity loss in terms of the ecosystem's health and sustainability. However, there are difficulties in putting it into practice as there is no comprehensive and objective standard for the selection of plant species, such as environmental, ecological factors, and restoration goal setting. Therefore, this study developed an evaluation index necessary for selecting plant species for restoration using the Delphi method that synthesizes the opinions of the expert group. A survey with 38 questionnaires was conducted twice for experts in ecological restoration, etc., and the importance and priority of evaluation indicators were analyzed by dividing the restoration targets into inland and island regions. The result of the importance analysis showed that "native plants" had the highest average of 4.9 among the evaluation indices in both inland and island regions, followed by "seed security", "propagation", and "root growth rate". In the inland region, the index priority was analyzed in the order of "native plants", "appearance frequency", "root growth rate", "distribution range", and "seed security" in the island region, it was analyzed in the order of "native plants", "root growth rate", "appearance frequency", "distribution range", and "tolerance", showing slight differences between the two indicators. As a result of the importance and priority indicator analysis, we set the mean importance and priority of 4.1 and 2.9, respectively, in the inland region and 4.2 and 2.9, respectively, in the island region. As for the criteria of selecting plant species for ecological restoration, the "native plants" had the highest importance and priority. "Seed securing", 'viability", "topography", "proliferation", "tolerance", "soil conditions", "growth characteristics", "early succession", "distribution range", "appearance frequency", and "germination rate" were classified into subgroups of low importance and priority. The lowest indicators were "final stage of succession", "transition period", 'transition stage", "root", "reproduction", "soil", "appearance", "technology", "landscape", "climate", and "germination rate". We expected that the findings through objective verification in this study would be used as evaluation indicators for selecting native plant species for ecological restoration.

  • 우리 사회는 언제부터인가 '하천복원', '강살리기'라는 말이 일상화 되었다. 하천을 복원한다는 것, 또는 강을 되살린다는 것은 무엇일까? 학술적 의미에서는 이른바 하천이라는 수생서식처가 가지는 생태계의 구조와 기능을 되살리는 것이지만, 우리 사회에서는 그런 의미보다는 강을 깨끗하고 아름답게 공원처럼 꾸며서 이른바 에메너티를 향상시킨다는 의미가 더 보편적으로 강조되었다. 문제는 이 두가지 의미는 대부분 상충된다는 것이다. 위 같은 두가지 의미가 같이 쓰이는 우리의 현실에 비추어 선진외국의 하천복원은 어느 방향으로 가고 있을까에 대한 답을 얻기위해 외국의 복원 사례를 하나의 시리즈로 엮어 독자들에게 소개하고자 한다. 이를 위해 대한토목학회, 한국생태학회, 한국하천호수학회 회원들이 공동으로 집필하고 있는 세계의 하천복원 사례를 일 년에 걸쳐 각 집필자가 돌아가면서 소개하고자 한다. 첫 사례로서 미국의 키시미 강을 이번 호에 소개한다.
