In case of inclined crest groyne, flow constriction with water is different. Therefore, it is proper to apply to narrow channel or there is a risk of overflow with water level rising caused by installation of groynes. This study were conducted experiments on inclined crest groyne. Main factors of inclined crest groyne are angles of crests slope and changes of water level. Velocity profile around groyne was measured by LSPIV (Large Scale Particle Image Velocimetry). Flow fields around groyne were analyzed focused on main channel and recirculation area. From the results, Thalweg change has little an effect on rate length and height of recirculation rises on increasing rate length. Length of recirculation area was about 12$\sim$16 times of rate length of groyne. Maximum velocity in main channel area was measured about 1.45$\sim$2.1 times of approach velocity and has little an effect on crest angle of groyne. Back water velocity recirculation area was decreased on approach velocity. This result presents to make stable flow to bank protection.

Analysis of discharge characteristics through control gates at river crossing structures is important for an effective water level control and water resources management. In recent years, many river control structures in four major rivers are under construction but only few researches on discharge characteristics at control gates could be found in Korea. The discharge characteristics depend on both shape of control gates and the effects of downstream water-depth. In this research, classification index for discharge patterns (free weir, submerged weir, free orifice, submerged orifice) through a control gate were reviewed with $h_g/h_1$, $h_3/h_g$, and $h_3/h_1$. Classification criteria of discharge patterns were also suggested. Representative discharge estimation equations for each discharge patterns were adopted and discharge coefficients were developed from a hydraulic model for a specific control gate which will be constructed in Nakdong river. Reliability of the derived discharge equation and coefficients were confirmed by comparisons between the real discharge in a model and the predicted discharge from the results of this research.

최근 하천의 모습은 이수 및 치수를 위해 설치된 수공구조물과 각종 오염원으로 인한 수질악화, 산업화 및 도시화에 따른 물순환시스템의 변화로 하천의 물순환 시스템이 바뀌게 되고 하천을 찾는 시민들의 환경의식 미성숙으로 인한 직간접적인 하천오염 활동이 이루어지고 있다. 하천에 대한 이러한 변화는 수질, 수량 및 하천의 구조적 측면에서 하천 생태계에 많은 영향을 끼치고 있다. 따라서 하천의 정상적인 기능을 회복시켜 하천 생태계 보전과 환경적으로 안정된 하천 조성이 이루어지도록 하기 위해서는 하천을 보다 자연스럽고 지속적으로 관리하기 위한 효율적인 환경유량의 관리가 필요하다. 하천의 전체적인 생태시스템을 고려한 환경유량의 관리를 위해서는 기존 환경유량의 개념, 산정방법 등 현황을 분석하고 하천 생태계에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대한 관리방안을 마련하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구의 목표는 하천생태계에 대한 영향인자의 장단점을 분석하고 이들이 어느 정도의 영향을 미치고 있는지를 정량적으로 파악함으로써 사회적으로 요구되는 환경유량을 산정할 때 어류 및 식생 등 하천의 생태계와 하천의 수량 및 수질, 하천의 수리구조물 등 하천의 구조적인 변화를 고려할 수 있는 방안을 마련하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 우선적으로 국외 선진국에서 활용되고 있는 다학제간 전문가 그룹(Multi-disciplinary Expert Team, MET)을 통해 하천 생태시스템을 분석하고 환경유량 산정 모형을 활용하여 저수지 댐과 연계 운영함으로써 어류 및 식생 등 생태서식처와 사회환경 개선에 필요한 유량을 유지할 수 있는 방안을 적용하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 대상유역인 금강유역에 대해 환경유량을 산정하기 위한 개념모형을 구축하였다. 개념모형은 대청댐 건설 이전, 대청댐 건설이후${\sim}$용담댐 건설 이전, 대청댐과 용담댐 건설 이후 등 3개의 시나리오를 통해 하도 및 수변공간과 유량변화에 따른 유황분석 등을 통해 손실된 생태시스템을 정량화하여 궁극적으로는 복원을 위한 대응방안을 마련하도록 할 수 있도록 구축되었다. 또한 댐으로 인한 하류지역의 영향범위 및 하천생태계에 미친 영향을 감소하기 위하여 적절한 환경유량을 산정하기 위한 것이다. 구축된 개념모형을 바탕으로, 금강유역에 대한 기초적인 수문, 하천특성, 현장조사 등을 실시하였다. 향후에는 본 연구결과를 기초로 하여 환경유량을 산정하기 위한 모형을 개발하고 산정된 환경유량을 확보 및 관리하기 위한 방안과 친환경적인 댐 운영방안을 마련하게 될 것이다.

Role of the perforated pipe is to drain the water with equal pressure and velocity through the holes of perforated pipe. The perforated pipe is being used in many processes of water treatment system, however, the design parameter of perforated pipe is not standardized in korea. In this study, we have found the design parameter of perforated pipe in the water treatment system using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The uniformity of outflow from the perforated pipe is directly affected according to area ratio (gross area of holes/surface area of the perforated pipe). In other words, the uniformity of outflow is improved as area ratio is smaller. Also, at the same area ratio, the uniformity of outflow is improved as number of holes is increase. Specially, in case of the two holes per length of pipe diameter (2/D) shows the most uniformity of outflow and the best hydraulic with the smaller pressure drop. When the inlet velocity of pipe is about 0.06m/sec, the flux of pipe has decreased as from front to backward. When the inlet velocity is 3 m/s, the flux of pipe has increased as from front to backward.

국내에는 17,500여개의 농업용 저수지가 전국적으로 분포하고 있으며, 이들 저수지는 인공호소이다. 농업용 저수지의 총 유효저수량은 2,838백만$m^3$에 달하고 있으며, 전체 수리답의 약 76%에 해당하는 593천ha의 농경지에 물을 관개하고 있다(2013농업생산기반통계연보). 최근 농어촌지역의 도농복합형태 개발 및 관광지, 유원지화로 농업용 저수지 유역의 오염원이 지속적으로 증가하는 추세에 있으며, 이로 인해 농업용수 수질이 지속적으로 악화되고 있다. 특히, 늦봄에서 초가을까지 외기온도 상승 및 저수율 저하와 함께 부영양화 증가, 녹조 대발생 등으로 수질오염도가 급상승하고 있으며, 이로 인해 호 내 물고기 폐사, 악취발생 등으로 민원이 다수 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업용 저수지의 물리적 특성을 분석하여 농업용 저수지 수질개선을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 농업용 저수지 17,489개소를 수혜면적별로 분류해 보면 5ha이하가 7,808개소(44.7%), 5~10ha이하 4,277개소(24.5%), 10~20ha 2,772개소(15.9%), 20~30ha 797개소(4.6%), 30~40ha 385개소(2.2%), 40~50ha 238개소(1.4%), 50ha이상 1,201개소(6.9%)로 구성되어 있어 50ha이하가 전체의 93.1%에 이르고 있다. 유효저수량별 분포현황은 10천$m^3$이하가 7,996개소(45.7%), 10~50천$m^3$ 6,420개소(36.7%), 50~100천$m^3$ 1,003개소(5.7%), 100~300천$m^3$ 868개소(5.0%)로 전체 시설 중 50천$m^3$이하가 전체 저수지의 82.4%로 대부분이 소규모 저수지임을 알 수 있다. 농업용 저수지를 유효수심별로 구분해보면 1m이하가 전체의 26.6%, 3m이하가 전체의 77.1%, 5m이하가 전체의 91.1%로 국내 대부분의 저수지들은 수심이 5m 이하의 저류지 형태의 저수지임을 알 수 있다. 저수지를 유역배율(유역면적/만수면적)에 따라 구분해보면 유역배율 3이하가 전체의 1.2%이고, 5이상이 전체의 97.4%를 차지하고 있다. 일반적으로 유역배율이 3이상이면 부영양화에 취약한 호소로 분류되고 있다. 국내 농업용 저수지는 대부분이 수심이 낮고, 유효저수량이 소규모이며, 유역배율이 3이상인 호소가 대부분으로 태생적으로 수질오염 및 부영양화에 취약한 구조로 되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 농업용 저수지 수질개선을 위한 종합계획 수립시에는 유입수 및 호내 대책과 함께 호소의 물리적 조건을 개선시키는 방안에 대해서도 검토가 요구된다. 특히 저수지 신규 설치시에는 수량관리 뿐만 아니라 수질도 함께 고려된 물리적 인자에 대한 설계가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

To improve the water quality of agricultural reservoirs, constructed wetlands are applied in many places. These are technologies that establish ecosystems and important design factors include water depth distribution, inflow and outflow, water flow distribution, hydraulic residence time, water quality treatment efficiency, aspect ratio, and the distribution of open water and covered water surfaces. For high efficiency during the operation of a constructed wetland, the design needs to be optimized and this requires consideration of the different types and length of the intake dam as well as the type and connection of wetland cells. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate and suggest factors that needs to be considered during the design and for efficient operation measures through field surveys of 23 constructed wetlands that have been established and operated in agricultural reservoirs. Results of the field investigation shows that several sites were being operated improperly due to the malfunctioning or failure of the water level sensors, sedimentation in the intake dam, and clogging of the mechanical sluice frames. In addition, it was found that as the length of the inlet channel increases, the ecological disconnection between the intake dam upstream and the wetland outlet downstream also increases and was identified as a problem. Most of the wetlands are composed of 2 to 5 cells which can result to poor hydraulic efficiency and difficulty in management if they are too large. Moreover, it was found that the flow through a small wetland can be inadequate when there are too many cells due to excessive amounts of headloss.

In relation to the algae bloom, four types of blue-green algae that emit toxic substances are designated and managed as harmful Cyanobacteria, and prediction information using a physical model is being also published. However, as algae are living organisms, it is difficult to predict according to physical dynamics, and not easy to consider the effects of numerous factors such as weather, hydraulic, hydrology, and water quality. Therefore, a lot of researches on algal bloom prediction using machine learning have been recently conducted. In this study, the characteristic importance of water quality factors affecting the occurrence of Cyanobacteria harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) were analyzed using the random forest (RF) model for Bohyeonsan Dam and Yeongcheon Dam located in Yeongcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do and also predicted the occurrence of harmful blue-green algae using the machine learning and deep learning models and evaluated their accuracy. The water temperature and total nitrogen (T-N) were found to be high in common, and the occurrence prediction of CyanoHABs using artificial neural network (ANN) also predicted the actual values closely, confirming that it can be used for the reservoirs that require the prediction of harmful cyanobacteria for algal management in the future.
