Groundwater in small islands is used as main water resource but the overuse of groundwater may cause seawater intrusion and temperature decrease in geothermal wells. This study aimed to characterize the hydrogeology of Maeum-ri area in Seokmo Island of Ganghwagun using long-term monitoring at groundwater wells and geothermal wells. In the monitoring period seasonal water level change, consistent drop or increase of water levels are not detected. The groundwater temperature about 10m below ground surface shows year cycle variation having two to five months difference with ambient temperature cycle. The storativity was calculated by tidal method. The storativity estimated by adapting tidal efficiency factor showed some larger values than that by using tidal time lag. The result suggested that the tidal method assuming several assumptions on aquifer condition may produce broad ranges but the calculated ranges at this application are reasonable. The similar shape of groundwater level change and tidal effects was observed at several wells clustered east-south-east direction which may implicate the distribution of vertical fracture system strongly related with groundwater flow channels. The applied methodology and study results will bc valuable to evaluate optimal pumping rate for the preservation of groundwater resources, and to manage geothermal development.

For hydrogeological studies, it is of importance to observe hydraulic head in order to interpret groundwater flow, characterize aquifers, and calibrate groundwater flow model. This study analyzed the zonal variation of hydraulic heads at the eight monitoring wells (GM-1~GM-8) installed with multi-packers in a coastal area and verified vertical and lateral trends of the hydraulic gradients. Hydraulic heads were expressed as the depth of water because the monitoring wells have different depths. The hydraulic gradient at the nearest well (GM-5) shows 0.0142 with increasing trend of hydraulic gradient along depth. This fact indicates typical phenomenon of the discharge area. On the other hand, GM-1 and GM-2 wells in coastal area demonstrate constant hydraulic gradient down to the depth of 100 meters while at the zone of deeper than 100 m the hydraulic gradients illustrate 0.0196 and 0.0735, respectively. This indicates that horizontal flow is dominant at shallower zone than 100 m whereas upward flow is dominant at the zone deeper than 100 m. GM-3 well located farther than the other wells from the coast shows a small hydraulic gradient of 0.0046 that evidences a prevalent horizontal flow between the recharge area and the discharge area.

Field experiments were conducted to estimate streambed hydraulic conductivity at 15 sites in the Anseongcheon watershed, Korea. Seepage meters and piezometers were installed in the streambed at each site to measure the amount of stream water-groundwater exchange and the hydraulic gradient. The vertical hydraulic conductivity was then calculated using Darcy's formula. The measured stream water-groundwater exchange rates were $4.08{\times}10^{-6}$ to $1.49{\times}10^{-5}m/s$, and the vertical hydraulic gradients were 0.005 to 0.145. The data suggest the streambed hydraulic conductivity to be $7.80{\times}10^{-5}$ to $1.58{\times}10^{-3}m/s$. The results show significant differences in connectivity between stream and aquifer. Quantification of the hydraulic interconnection between stream and aquifer, and evaluation of the effects of groundwater development and utilization on the streamflow require hydrogeological investigations of the connection between stream and aquifer, including the hydraulic conductivity of the streambed. Various field testing and analysis methods for hydrogeological assessment also require further improvement.

Time-lag and amplitudes of the fluctuation of groundwater level are used to determine hydraulic parameters around Han River. The groundwater level at observation wells fluctuates between highest and lowest responding to the Han River level. The factors affecting the groundwater fluctuation are examined. The transmisivity of the Han River alluvium calculated from the measured water table fluctuations measured ranges from 9.39${\times}$10$^1$to 4.02${\times}$10$^3$㎡/day. Based on the hydrogeological data along the river sides, the flow characteristics of groundwater for water level fluctuations were simulated using a ground water flow model MODFLOW.

인공함양 시설을 설계 및 운영하는 단계에서 설치 예정부지의 자연적 특성(지형, 지질, 기후 등)과 인공적 특성(주입정과 양수정의 거리, 주입량, 양수량 등)은 중요한 인자라고 볼 수 있다. 인공함양 예정 부지의 개념모델을 설정하고 수리전도도와 이격거리(주입정과 양수정의 직선거리)에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 인공함양 예정 부지는 충적대수층이며, 인공함양 주입량과 양수량은 $150m^3/day$로 동일하게 설정하였다. HydroGeoSphere 모델링을 통한 민감도 분석은 수리전도도($10^{-1}cm/sec$, $10^{-2}cm/sec$, $10^{-3}cm/sec$, $10^{-4}cm/sec$)와 이격거리(10 m, 50 m, 100 m) 조건에 대해 총 12회 수행하였다. 수리전도도가 $10^{-1}cm/sec$ 및 $10^{-2}cm/sec$인 경우의 모델링 결과, 이격거리가 100 m 범위 이내에서는 지하수위 변동이 발생하지 않았다. 수리전도도가 $10^{-3}cm/sec$인 경우의 모델링 결과, 이격거리가 10 m일 때 5 m 이내의 수위하강이 발생하고 영향반경은 약 14 m 정도로 나타났고, 이격거리가 50 m일 때 5 m 이내의 수위하강이 발생하고 영향반경은 약 31 m 정도로 나타났고, 이격거리가 100 m일 때 5 m 이내의 수위하강이 발생하고 영향반경은 약 34 m 정도로 나타났다. 수리전도도가 $10^{-4}cm/sec$인 경우의 모델링 결과, 이격거리가 증가할수록 양수에 의한 수위하강과 영향반경이 증가하였으며, 낮은 수리전도도로 인해 양수로 인한 수두손실을 회복할 수 없었기에 양수정 주변에서 반경 수십 m 이상의 수두하강 영역을 형성하고 주입정 근처에서는 주입속도가 대수층의 투수능력에 비해 상당히 높기 때문에 5 m 정도의 수위상승이 나타났다. 모델링 결과를 분석하여, 수리전도도가 $10^{-3}cm/sec$ 이하이고 이격거리가 10 m 범위 이상인 충적대수층에 $150m^3/day$를 주입하면서 동시에 $150m^3/day$를 양수하는 시스템에서는 지하수위변동이 발생하므로 주입량과 양수량의 조절이 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Hydraulic falling head and slug tests were carried out in an alluvium aquifer using a borehole stability device. The hydraulic testing had proved difficult in alluvial formations of sands and gravels due to borehole collapse and unstable borehole walls within the test section. This study aims to improve the hydraulic test results by using a borehole stability device. The device can minimize the collapse of borehole walls, and the use of a filter with a constant opening ratio improves the calculations per unit area of the test section. Permeability obtained from the falling head test without a borehole stability device was 8.82 × 10⁻⁵m/sec. When the borehole stability device was installed in the same test section the measured permeability increased to 4.00 × 10⁻⁴m/sec, which is 4.5 times that obtained without the borehole device. The relatively low permeability obtained using the conventional test method is attributed to the presence of a fine-grained slime generated during drilling and a reduction of the test area in the test interval due to a gradual collapse of the borehole walls. This study considers how the use of a borehole stability device to prevent borehole collapse can influence the results of hydraulic tests in alluvial formations. It is expected that the results can be used as a basis for improving the reliability and applicability of hydraulic tests performed in alluvial aquifers.

Moye's analytical solution was examined as a method for constant-head tests under steady-state conditions, and results were compared with transient-state analyses in in situ hydraulic tests. The sensitivity of hydraulic conductivities calculated using Moye's method increased with the length of the test section, which should be as large as possible under test conditions. Particularly in low-permeability media with less than 10^-8 m/sec of hydraulic conductivity, hydraulic conductivity is lower than that under transient-state conditions and can be recalculated by adjusting the boundary between radial and spherical flow assumed in Moye's equation. Constant-head tests performed in the research borehole at the KAERI Underground Research Tunnel (KURT) indicated that transmissivities derived from the constant-head withdrawal test under transient-state conditions in low-permeability media were higher than those derived from steady-state tests, likely because the groundwater flow boundary was smaller than the "half of the test-section length"assumed by Moye's equation. When interpreting constant-head test results for crystalline rock, the hydrogeological properties of the medium may be better understood by considering assumed conditions accompanying analysis of the steady-state condition and comparing them with results for the transient-state analysis, rather than simply assuming properties based on steady-state analyses.

In this paper, it was aimed to enhance core processes required in establishing hydrogeological models constructed using borehole investigation results. Water Conducting Feature(WCF) information was extracted from borehole investigation, and HydroDFN model was constructed based on the WCF information. The HydroDFN model was sub-divided by cubic blocks, and equivalent permeability of each sub-divided block was calculated and compared with the results of hydraulic test at the borehole. Through these analysis processes, suggestion for identifying and prescribing WCF parameters in the construction of HydroDFN model was made.
