The river master plan was established every 10 years in Korea. The basin characteristics of 62 small and medium size rivers of which master plans were recently established during the past three years in Gyeonggi-do were investigated, and design rainfalls and design floods in the past and the latest were compared and analyzed. It was predicted that basin data and flood estimating method changed design flood. The quantitative amount of design floods were analyzed for 6 basins like Gungunchen etc. As the results, the increasing factors of design flood were the application of critical duration time, temporal time of rainfall and the increase of CN value. The decreasing factors of design flood were the application of Huff's rainfall distribution instead of Mononobe one and the ARF. The application of critical duration time increased flood about 60% whereas the application of Huff's rainfall distribution method estimated less flood than Mononobe about 62%. Considering critical duration time and changing rainfall distribution were the most important factors of increasing or decreasing design flood. However, trends of flood variation were differently analyzed by factors in 6 basins because characteristics of topography, weather, hydrology and hydraulic were different, now that correlations were not found between factors and flood variation. Flood variation is evaluated by complex effects of factors so new flood recalculated by reasonable methods should be considered as design flood.

Cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon population is widely distributed in the world, and well known as harmful algae by producing toxins and off-flavor materials, thus belonging to one of the taxa that became more interested in the field of limnoecology. In this study, the frequency, intensity, and duration of Aphanizomenon occurrence were increased with the abnormal drawdown of water level in the winter in Boryeong Reservoir, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of them are compared with each other in the perspective of hydrometeorology (1998 to 2017) and limnology (2010 to 2017). In Korea, Aphanizomenon flourished mainly in high temperature, and the appearance in the low temperature was rare in total five times. The harmful cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon was observed in the low temperature (December to February) in Boryeong Reservoir from 2014, and then reached a maximum value of $2,160cells\;mL^{-1}$ in January 2017. In addition, the period exceeding $1,000cells\;mL^{-1}$ at this time was more than 3 months. This was simultaneously associated with abnormal water level fluctuation in the low temperature ($<10^{\circ}C$). The large drawdown of water level in the winter season has the potential to promote or amplify the germination and development of harmful algae. Also, subsequent water quality and ecological impacts(e.g., algal toxins and off-flavor substances) need to be considered carefully.

급격히 변화하고 있는 산업화와 도시화로 지구 온난화 현상으로 기상이변의 발생빈도가 높아졌고 기후가 불안정하여 예전보다 많은 집중호우가 발생하면서, 홍수로 인한 제내지 침수가 발생되기도 한다. 기후변화로 인한 수재해에 대응하기 위하여 하천 호소 수리 예측 모형의 개선이 필요한 실정이다. 하지만, 자연하천 유역의 강우-유출 상관관계와 지표면 유출현상 및 하도 수리 특성을 자연현상의 복잡성, 강우발생의 시간적 공간적인 발생과정의 임의성, 정확한 해석방법 및 확률 분석에 따르는 불확실성 들을 토대로 단순한 이론과 제한적인 경험공식 등에 의해서 해석, 재현 및 평가를 한다는 것은 매우 어려운 문제이다. 최근 IT 기술의 발전과 더불어, 많은 연구자, 엔지니어들이 기존 수리 수문학적 지식과 IT기술을 융합하여 복잡 다단한 수자원 환경 문제를 해결하고자 한다. 이와 같은 최근 연구 동향에 의거하여, 본 연구에서는 HEC-RAS, TELEMAC-2D 1, 2차원 수리 모형을 연계하여 하천 흐름 분석 및 홍수 범람 해석에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 HEC-RAS, TELEMAC 모형을 적용하여 2012년 태풍 '산바(SANBA)'로 인해 홍수 피해를 입은 고령군에 위치한 낙동강 본류 회천 유역(상류 회천교 ~ 하류 도진교)의 하도 내 흐름 분석과 하천 인근 제내지 홍수범람을 예측하였다. 범람해석에 필요한 지형자료를 기초로 하여 각 지형의 조건에 맞게 수치자료를 이용하여 작성하였고, 수자원 정보를 이용하여 유랑, 수위 등 시계열자료를 지류 및 상 하류의 경계조건으로 설정하고, 조도계수 등 하천 기본정보들을 입력하였다. HEC-RAS 모형은 회천교부터 도진교까지 전구간에 대한 종단면과 횡단면별 홍수침수범위 및 홍수위 크기 등 거시적인 1차원 수리해석에 적용하였고, TELEMAC 모형은 HEC-RAS 시뮬레이션 결과를 바탕으로 HEC-RAS에서 나타내기 힘든 2차원 흐름특성, 침수현상 등 일부 범람 구간에 대해 수리해석에 적용하였다. HEC-RAS 시스템은 수공구조물들의 영향과 하천의 영향을 종 횡단면으로 다양한 홍수침수 범위를 1차원으로 나타 낼 수 있으며, TELEMAC 시스템 수리 모의를 통해 얻어진 결과는 유속, 유량, 수심, 하상고 높이 등 2차원으로 나타낼 수 있다. TELEMAC 시스템을 활용한 2차원 분석은 실측자료와 비교적 유사하고 시각, 공간적으로 이해하기 쉽게 표현되므로, 모형 적용성이 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 향후 유역 해석을 위한 수치데이터, 수위, 유량자료를 확보하여 HEC-RAS, TELEMAC 1, 2차원 연계 모형을 적용 한다면, 하천 준설, 하천 구조물 설치, 홍수피해 등 전반적인 하천관리 계획에 활용할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

The eutrophication and algal blooms by harmful cyanobacteria (CyanoHAs) and freshwater redtide (FRT) that severely experiencing in typical regulated weir system of the Nakdong River are one of the most rapidly expanding water quality problems in Korea and worldwide. To compare with the factors of rainfall, hydrology, and dominant algae, this study explored spatiotemporal variability of the major water environmental factors by weekly intervals in eight weir pools of the Nakdong River from January 2013 to July 2017. There was a distinct difference in rainfall distribution between upstream and downstream regions. Outflow discharge using small-scale hydropower generation, overflow and fish-ways accounted for 37.4%, 60.1% and 2.5%, respectively. Excluding the flood season, the outflow was mainly due to the hydropower release through year-round. These have been associated with the drawdown of water level, water exchange rate, and the significant impact on change of dominant algae. The mean concentration (maximum value) of chlorophyll-a was $17.6mg\;m^{-3}$ ($98.2mg\;m^{-3}$) in the SAJ~GAJ and $29.6mg\;m^{-3}$ ($193.6mg\;m^{-3}$) in the DAS~HAA weir pools reaches, respectively. It has increased significantly in the downstream part where the influence of treated wastewater effluents (TWEs) is high. Indeed, very high values (>50 or $>100mg\;m^{-3}$) of chlorophyll-a concentration were observed at low flow rates and water levels. Algal assemblages that caused the blooms of CyanoHAs and FRT were the cyanobacteria Microcystis and the diatom Stephanodiscus populations, respectively. In conclusion, appropriate hydrological management practices in terms of each weir pool may need to be developed.

Recently, as the incidence of climate warming and abnormal climate increases, the forecasting of hydrological factors such as precipitation and river flow is getting more complicated, and the risk of water shortage is also increasing. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model for predicting the amount of water intake in mid-term. To this end, the correlation between water intake and meteorological factors, including temperature and precipitation, was used to select input factors. In addition, the amount of water intake increased with time series and seasonal characteristics were clearly shown. Thus, the preprocessing process was performed using the time series decomposition method, and the support vector machine (SVM) was applied to the residual to develop the river intake prediction model. This model has an error of 4.1% on average, which is higher accuracy than the SVM model without preprocessing. In particular, this model has an advantage in mid-term prediction for one to two months. It is expected that the water intake forecasting model developed in this study is useful to be applied for water allocation computation in the permission of river water use, water quality management, and drought measurement for sustainable and efficient management of water resources.

Evapotranspiration (ET) from the various surfaces needs to be understood because it is a crucial hydrological factor to grasp interaction between the land surface and the atmosphere. A traditional way of estimating it, which is calculating it empirically using lysimeter and pan evaporation observations, has a limitation that the measurements represent only point values. However, these measurements cannot describe ET because it is easily affected by outer circumstances. Thus, remote sensing technology was applied to estimate spatial distribution of ET. In this study, we estimated major components of energy balance method (i.e. net radiation flux, soil heat flux, sensible heat flux, and latent heat flux) and ET as a map using Mapping Evapo-Transpiration with Internalized Calibration (METRIC) satellite-based image processing model. This model was run using Landsat imagery of Gyeongan watershed in Korea on Feb 1, 2003 and Sep 13, 2006. Basic statistical analyses were also conducted. The estimated mean daily ETs had respectively 22% and 11% of errors with pan evaporation data acquired from the Suwon Weather Station. This result represented similar distribution compared with previous studies and confirmed that the METRIC algorithm had high reliability in the watershed. In addition, ET distribution of each land use type was separately examined. As a result, it was identified that vegetation density had dominant impacts on distribution of ET. Seasonally, ET in a growing season represented significantly higher than in a dormant season due to more active transpiration. The ET maps will be useful to analyze how ET behaves along with the circumstantial conditions; land cover classification, vegetation density, elevation, topography.

In recent, the heavy rainfall is frequently occurred and the damage tends to be increased. So, more careful hydrologic analysis is required for the designs of the hydraulic or disaster prevention structures. The time distribution of a rainfall is one of the important factors for the estimation of peak flow in hydrologic and hydraulic designs. This study is to suggest a methodology for the estimation of a rainfall time distribution which can reflect the meteorologic and topographical characteristics of Daejeon area. We collect the 34 years' rainfall data recorded in the range of 1969 to 2002 for Daejeon area and we performed the rainfall analysis with the data in between May and October of each year. According to the Huff method, the collected data corresponds to the first quartile which the rainfall is concentrated in the primary stage but the suggested method shows the different rainfall distribution with the Huff method in time. The reason is that the Huff method determines the quartile in each storm event while the suggested one determines it by estimating the dimensionless distribution of rainfall in duration after the accumulation of rainfall in time. The rainfall distributions estimated by two methodologies were applied to the Gabcheon basin in Daejeon area for the estimation of flood flow. Here we use the SCS method for the effective rainfall and unit hydrograph for the flood discharge. As the results, the peak flow for 24-hour of 100-year frequency was estimated as a $3421.20m^3/sec$ by the Huff method and $3493.38m^3/sec$ by the suggested one. We can see the difference of $72.18m^3/sec$ in between two methods and thus we may carefully determine the rainfall time distribution and compute the effective rainfall for the estimation of the peak flow.
