수문순환과 수질오염과정의 제반 기작들이 완벽하게 규명되지 않은 상황에서 인위적 또는 자연적 조건에 따른 수질의 평가는 수질모형으로서 추정하는 것이 유일한 대안이며, 다양한 관리대안에 따른 수질환경변화를 예측함으로서 합리적인 관리방안을 도출하는데 유용한 수단이 되고 있다. 현재 시행 중인 수질오염총량관리제에서 또한 수질모형은 핵심적인 역할을 담당하고 있으며, 보다 구체적으로는 단위유역의 목표수질을 결정하는 것에서부터 기본계획 또는 시행계획에 따른 오염부하량 등 환경요인의 변화와 이에 따른 목표수질 설정지점의 수질 변화 등을 모의하는데 이용되고 있다. 그러나 모형에 사용되는 입력 매개변수의 불확실성과 이에 관련된 수질 모형 자체의 불확실성은 수질오염총량관리제와 같이 많은 이해당사자가 관여된 정책의 결정 시에는 공학적으로 많은 부담으로 작용하고 있는 것 또한 현실이다. 실제로 미국의 오염총량관리제의 경우를 살펴보면 모형의 불확실성 분석이 전체 과정의 진행에서 가장 핵심적인 지위를 차지하고 있다고 볼 수 있다. 많은 연구들이 수질모형에 있어서의 불확실성을 정량화하기 위하여 수행되어 왔으며, 특히 미국의 오염총량관리계획의 수립 시에는 이러한 불확실성 분석을 토대로 하여 안전율을 산정하도록 되어있다. 그러나 이러한 연구들의 대부분은 수질모형의 매개변수 중 수질기작에 관련된 매개변수들(예를 들어, DO, BOD, N, P 등에 대한 반응계수)에 대한 연구에 집중되어 있다. 하천의 수질을 적절하게 모델링하기 위해서는 이러한 수질에 직접적으로 관련한 매개변수들 이외에 하천의 수리특성에 관한 올바른 이해를 바탕으로 그와 관련된 수리학적 매개변수들에 대한 연구가 뒷받침되어야 한다. 그동안 수행되어온 수질 모델링의 적용 사례를 살펴본 바에 따르면 하천을 모델링하기 위해서는 현장 특성 자료의 중요성, 특히 하천수리특성에 관련된 기초 자료의 가용성 여부가 모형의 성패에 매우 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있다. 이는 유량, 유속 및 폭과 깊이로 대변되는 하천 지형은 물질 이송에 대한 주요 외력 함수이며, 다른 모든 예측치들은 이들에 의존적일 수밖에 없기 때문이다. 따라서 이들의 정확한 표현은 올바른 수질 예측에 있어서 필수적일 수밖에 없다. 많은 모형매개변수들이 유속과 깊이에 의존적이나, 이들에 관한 정보는 종종 현장관측에서 조차 무시되는 경우가 많다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수질모형의 매개변수 중 특히 수리특성에 관련된 매개변수들이 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 이를 위해 적용된 수질모형은 QualKo를 사용하였으며, 대상 하천은 낙동강 본류 경남구간 시점 부근인 회천 합류 전부터 낙동강 본류 경남구간 종점 부근인 밀양강 합류 전까지의 경남 오염총량관리 기본계획 시 구축된 모형 매개변수를 바탕으로 분석을 수행하였다. 일차오차분석을 이용하여 수리매개변수와 수질매개변수의 수질항목별 상대적 기여도를 파악해 본 결과, 수리매개변수는 DO, BOD, 유기질소, 유기인 모든 항목에 일정 정도의 상대적 기여도를 가지고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이로부터 수질 모형의 적용 시 수리 매개변수 또한 수질 매개변수의 추정 시와 같이 보다 세심한 주의를 기울여 추정할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Jeju Island is mainly composed of basaltic lava flows and subordinate amounts of volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks. Jeju Province operates the monitoring wells for seawater intrusion problems around Jeju Island to evaluate of groundwater resources in coastal area. Various surveys and monitoring have been performed in boreholes, and also conventional geophysical well loggings conducted to identify basalt sequences and assess seawater intrusion problems. Various conventional geophysical well logs, including radioactive logs, electrical log, caliper log, and temperature and conductivity log and heat-pulse flowmeter log were obtained in 29 boreholes. The results of geophysical well loggings for saturated rocks are interesting and consistent. Natural gamma logs are useful in basalt sequences to sedimentary interbeds, unconsolidated U formation, and seoguipo formation with higher natural gamma log regardless of saturated or unsaturated basalts. Neutron logs are very effective to discriminate among individual lava flows, flow breaks, and sedimentary interbeds in saturated formation. In hyalocastite, porosity is high and resistivity is low, and we think that hyalocastite is a major pathway of fluid flow. In trachybasalt, porosity has a wide range and resistivity is high. In sedimentary interbeds, unconsolidated U formation and seoguipo formation, porosity is high and resistivity is low. The temperature logs in eastern area in Jeju are useful to interpret the hydrogeological unit and evaluate seawater intrusion in Suan area.

The main objective of this study is to provide a robust model for estimating parameters of the Clark unit hydrograph (UH) using the observed rainfall-runoff data in the Soyangang dam basin. In general, HEC-1 and HEC-HMS models, developed by the Hydrologic Engineering Center, have been widely used to optimize the parameters in Korea. However, these models are heavily reliant on the objective function and sample size during the optimization process. Moreover, the optimization process is carried out on the basis of single rainfall-runoff data, and the process is repeated for other events. Their averaged values over different parameter sets are usually used for practical purposes, leading to difficulties in the accurate simulation of discharge. In this sense, this paper proposed a hierarchical Bayesian model for estimating parameters of the Clark UH model. The proposed model clearly showed better performance in terms of Bayesian inference criterion (BIC). Furthermore, the result of this study reveals that the proposed model can also be applied to different hydrologic fields such as dam design and design flood estimation, including parameter estimation for the probable maximum flood (PMF).

Shoreline armoring is a globally used engineering strategy to prevent shoreline erosion along stream, lake and reservoir coastlines. Armoring alters the land-water interface and has the potential to affect shoreline vegetation by changing nearshore geomorphology, hydrology, sediment composition and water quality. We quantified the effects of the artificial disturbances and alternation of the land-water interface on the community structure and distribution of shoreline vegetation in a large reservoir, Uiam Reservoir, Korea. More than 60% of shorelines were disturbed by armoring with retaining wall of concrete block, riprap and gabion in the Uiam Reservoir. The results of detrended correspondence analysis showed that the vegetation structures of the shoreline modified by armoring changed from hydrophyte-dominated to hygrophyte-dominated ecosystems. The shoreline armoring caused the disruption of gradual continuity in the water-land interface and the biological invasion by alien plants. The changes in distribution area of shoreline vegetation showed that the area of hydrophytic vegetation decreased and that of hygrophytic vegetation increased from 2010 to 2013. In conclusion, the human disturbance such as armoring, road construction, recreation etc. could lead to terrestrialization, the loss of transverse continuity and biological invasion in the shoreline vegetation of the Reservoir Uiam. Our findings suggest that redesigning or removing shoreline armoring structures may benefit nearshore hydrophytic vegetation for the conservation of novel shoreline ecosystems.

Soil moisture is one of the important components in hydrological processes and also controls the subsurface flow mechanism at a hillslope scale. In this study, time series of soil moisture were measured at a hillslope located in Gwangneung National Arboretum, Korea using a multiplex Time Domain Reflectometry(TDR) system measuring soil moisture with bi-hour interval. The Box-Jenkins transfer function and noise model was used to estimate spatial distributions of soil moisture histories between May and September, 2007. Rainfall was used as an input parameter and soil moisture at 10 cm depth was used as an output parameter in the model. The modeling process consisted of a series of procedures(e.g., data pretreatment, model identification, parameter estimation, and diagnostic checking of selected models), and the relationship between soil moisture and rainfall was assessed. The results indicated that the patterns of soil moisture at different locations and slopes along the hillslope were similar with those of rainfall during the measurment period. However, the spatial distribution of soil moisture was not associated with the slope of the monitored location. This implies that the variability of the soil moisture was determined more by rainfall than by the slope of the site. Due to the influence of vegetation activity on soil moisture flow in spring, the soil moisture prediction in spring showed higher variability and complexity than that in early autumn did. This indicates that vegetation activity is an important factor explaining the patterns of soil moisture for an upland forested hillslope.

Soil moisture is one of the essential components in determining surface hydrological processes such as infiltration, surface runoff as well as meteorological, ecological and water quality responses at watershed scale. This paper discusses soil moisture transfer processes measured at hillslope scale in the Gwangneung forest catchment to understand and provide the basis of stochastic structures of soil moisture variation. Measured soil moisture series were modelled based upon the developed univariate model platform. The modeling consists of a series of procedures: pre-treatment of data, model structure investigation, selection of candidate models, parameter estimation and diagnostic checking. The spatial distribution of model is associated with topographic characteristics of the hillslope. The upslope area computed by the multiple flow direction algorithm and the local slope are found to be effective parameters to explain the distribution of the model structure. This study enables us to identify the key factors affecting the soil moisture distribution and to ultimately construct a realistic soil moisture map in a complex landscape such as the Gwangneung Supersite.

Changes in climate have largely increased concentrated heavy rainfall, which in turn is causing enormous damages to humans and properties. Floods are one of the most deadly and damaging natural disasters known to mankind. The flood forecasting and warning system concentrates on reducing injuries, deaths, and property damage caused by floods. Therefore, the exact relationship and the spatial variability analysis of hydrometeorological elements and characteristic factors is critical elements to reduce the uncertainty in rainfall-runoff model. In this study, grid resolution depending on the topographic factor in rainfall-runoff models presents how to respond. semi-distribution of rainfall-runoff model using the model GRM simulated and calibrated rainfall-runoff in the Gamcheon and Naeseongcheon watershed. To run the GRM model, input grid data used rainfall (two event), DEM, landuse and soil. This study selected cell size of 500 m(basic), 1 km, 2 km, 5 km, 10 km and 12 km. According to the resolution of each grid, in order to compare simulation results, the runoff hydrograph has been made and the runoff has also been simulated. As a result, runoff volume and peak discharge which simulated cell size of DEM 500 m~12 km were continuously reduced. that results showed decrease tendency. However, input grid data except for DEM have not contributed increase or decrease runoff tendency. These results showed that the more increased cell size of DEM make the more decreased slope value because of the increased horizontal distance.

This study addressed the influence of forest harvesting on seasonal water table dynamics in small headwater riparian areas. Four treatments including potential Best Management Practices(BMPs) for ephemeral and intermittent streams were implemented(BMP1, BMP2, clearcut and reference). Water table measurements were obtained at bi-monthly intervals for 3 years including one year of pre- and two years of post-harvest observations. Overall, water table responses affected largely by rainfall amount. In addition, significant increases in water table levels following harvesting occurred throughout the two post-harvest years. Water table levels increased up to 28.2cm in the clearcut treatment during 2008 and up to 54.2cm in BMP2 during 2009. However, increase in water table elevation was not directly related to basal area removal despite considerable differences in basal area removed between BMP2 and clearcut treatments. Water table rises were apparent in that water table were more elevated during dry season(June through November) than during wet season(December through May). These seasonal fluctuations were presumably driven by changes in evapotranspiration caused by differences in leaf area of overstory canopy and understory following harvest.

최근 기후변화로 인해 태풍 등과 같은 집중성 강우가 많이 발생하고 있고, 강우시 유출 등으로 인한 유역내 발생하는 토양침식으로 인해 유역의 하천을 비롯하여 유출구에서의 탁수 및 유사 발생 문제는 우리나라 뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 심각한 환경문제로 대두되고 있다. 강우시 유역에서 발생하는 이러한 탁수문제를 효과적으로 해결하기 위하여 여러 최적관리기법 (Best Management Practices, BMPs) 들이 제안되어왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 볏짚매트 사용으로 인한 토양유실 저감 실측자료를 바탕으로 볏짚매트를 다양한 경사지 밭에 적용하였을 경우 유역에서의 토양유실 저감효과를 평가하기 위한 모델링 기법을 개발하는데 있다. 볏짚 매트의 효과를 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) 모형으로 모의하기 위해서는 볏짚매트의 효과를 모형에서 반영할 수 있는 인자를 선택하여 최적의 인자값을 산정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유사 저감 효과 실험 결과를 VFSMOD-W 모형을 이용하여 USLE P 인자값을 도출하였으며, 경사도에 따른 USLE-P 값을 산정하여, SWAT 모형에 입력자료로 사용하였다. 분포형 모형과는 달리 준분포형 모형인 SWAT 모형은 소유역내 수문학적 반응단위별로 유출, 유사, 그리고 비점오염 발생을 평가하는데 이때 Hydrologic Response Unit (HRU)의 지형정보가 활용된다. 이 지형정보는 SWAT 유사 평가시 매우 민감한 변수중의 하나이기 때문에 유역 단위 유사 평가시 정확한 지형자료의 입력이 요구된다. 그러나 SWAT 모형은 소유역내 HRU의 경사도 및 경사장을 직접 산정하지 않고, 소유역의 평균경사도를 기준으로 하여 산정된 경사도를 소유역내 모든 HRU에 동일하게 적용하는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 준분포 모형인 SWAT 모형의 단점을 개선하기 위하여 SWAT Spatially Distributed (SD)-HRU를 적용하였다. 이를 통해 다양한 경사지 밭에서의 볏짚매트의 효과를 분석할 수 있게 되었다. 볏짚매트 미적용시 모의 기간내 유사량 총합은 74,954.42 ton 이고, 월평균 유사량은 814.72 ton 으로 산정되었고, 볏짚매트를 적용하였을 경우 모의 기간내 (2000년 1월 - 2007년 8월) 유사량 총합은 48,460.55 ton 이고, 월평균 유사량은 526.75 ton 으로 볏짚매트를 적용하지 않았을 때보다 약 35.35 % 저감된 값을 보였다. SD-HRU를 적용하고 각 농경지의 경사도에 따라 USLE P 값을 수정하여 볏짚매트에 의한 효과를 분석하였을 때, 볏짚매트를 적용하지 않았을 때 보다 볏짚매트를 적용하였을 때 모의 기간내 약 35% 정도의 유사량이 감소된 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과에서 보여주는 바와 같이 고랭지 지역에서의 영농활동 시 볏짚매트를 설치한다면 강우시 발생하는 토양유실을 효과적으로 저감시킬 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

Soil moisture is one of the most important interests in hydrological response and the interaction between the land surface and atmosphere. Estimation of Antecedent Wetness Conditions (AWC) which is soil moisture condition prior to a rainfall in the basin should be considered for rainfall-runoff prediction. In this study, Soil Wetness Index (SWI), Antecedent Precipitation Index ($API_5$), remotely sensed Soil Moisture ($SM_{rs}$), and 5 days ground Soil Moisture ($SM_{g5}$) were selected to estimate the AWC at four study area in the Korean Peninsula. The remotely sensed soil moisture data were taken from the AMSR-E soil moisture archive. The maximum potential retention ($S_{obs}$) was obtained from direct runoff and rainfall using Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number (SCS-CN) method by rainfall data of 2011 for each study area. Results showed the great correlations between the maximum potential retention and SWI with a mean correlation coefficient which is equal to -0.73. The results of time length representing the time scale of soil moisture showed a gap from region to region. It was due to the differences of soil types and the characteristics of study area. Since the remotely sensed soil moisture has been proved as reasonable hydrological variables to predict a wetness in the basin, it should be continuously monitored.
