Due to recent global climate change, the scale of flood damage is increasing as rainfall is concentrated and its intensity increases. Rain on a scale that has not been observed in the past may fall, and long-term rainy seasons that have not been recorded may occur. These damages are also concentrated in ASEAN countries, and many people in ASEAN countries are affected, along with frequent occurrences of flooding due to typhoons and torrential rains. In particular, the Bandung region which is located in the Upper Chitarum River basin in Indonesia has topographical characteristics in the form of a basin, making it very vulnerable to flooding. Accordingly, through the Official Development Assistance (ODA), a flood forecasting and warning system was established for the Upper Citarium River basin in 2017 and is currently in operation. Nevertheless, the Upper Citarium River basin is still exposed to the risk of human and property damage in the event of a flood, so efforts to reduce damage through fast and accurate flood forecasting are continuously needed. Therefore, in this study an artificial intelligence-based river flood water level forecasting model for Dayeu Kolot as a target station was developed by using 10-minute hydrological data from 4 rainfall stations and 1 water level station. Using 10-minute hydrological observation data from 6 stations from January 2017 to January 2021, learning, verification, and testing were performed for lead time such as 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hour and LSTM was applied as an artificial intelligence algorithm. As a result of the study, good results were shown in model fit and error for all lead times, and as a result of reviewing the prediction accuracy according to the learning dataset conditions, it is expected to be used to build an efficient artificial intelligence-based model as it secures prediction accuracy similar to that of using all observation stations even when there are few reference stations.

In the present study, the statistical analysis on the storm waves in the East Sea have been carried out, and the several storm waves were reproduced by the modified WAM as a first step for the accurate and prompt forecasting and warning against the swell waves in East Sea. According to the present study, the occurrences of the storm waves from the North were the most probable, while the waves from the Northeast were most frequently observed. It was found that the significant wave heights of storm waves from the North and Northern northeast were larger than those of storm waves from the Northeast. But due to long fetch distance, the significant wave periods of storm waves from the Northesast were longer than those of North and Northern northeast. In addition to the wave analysis, the numerical experiments for the storm waves in East Sea were carried out using the modified WAM, and three periods of storm waves in 2013 were calculated. The numerical results were well agreed with wave measurements. However the numerical simulation results in shallow water region showed lower accuracies compared to deep water, which might be due to lower resolution of wind field and bottom topography caused by large grid size, 5 minute, adopted in the present study. Overall computational efficiency of the modified WAM found to be excellent compared to original WAM. It is because the modified WAM adopted the implicit scheme, thereby the present model performed 10 time faster than original WAM in computation time.

In this study, threshold runoff which is a hydrologic component of flash flood guidance(FFG) is estimated by using Manning's bankfull flow and Geomorphoclimatic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph(GcIUH) methods on Han River watershed. Geographic Information System(GIS) and 3' Digital Elevation Model database have been used to prepare the basin parameters of a very fine drainage area($1.02\~56.41km^2$), stream length and stream slope for threshold runoff computation. Also, cross-sectional data of basin and stream channel are collected for a statistical analysis of regional regression relationships and then those are used to estimate the stream parameters. The estimated threshold runoff values are ranged from 2 mm/h to 14 mm/6hr on Han River headwater basin with the 1-hour duration values are$97\%$ up to 8mm and the 6-hour values are $98\%$ up to 14mm. The sensitivity analysis shows that threshold runoff is more variative to the stream channel cross-sectional factors such as a stream slope, top width and friction slope than the drainage area. In comparisons between the computed threshold runoffs on this study area and the three other regions in the United States, the computed results on Han River watershed are reasonable.

2014~2015년에 걸쳐 발생한 가뭄으로 농업용수뿐만 아니라 생공용수 공급 측면에서도 어려움이 발생하였다. 기후변화 등의 요인으로 이러한 상황이 향후에도 발생할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 가뭄현황 및 전망 정보 생산을 통한 가뭄 대비의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 2016년 기상 및 수문상황을 분석하고, 생공용수 부문 가뭄예경보를 위해 활용중인 K-water 가뭄정보분석시스템을 통해 생산된 2016년 가뭄 정보를 분석하였다. 2016년 전국 강수량은 1966~2015년 평균 대비 92.2%에 해당하는 강수량을 기록하였다. 지역적으로는 중부지방은 대체로 평균에 미치지 못하는 강수량을, 중부이남 지역은 평균 이상의 강수량을 보였다. 경기도 남부 지역을 중심으로 강원도 일부 지역과 충남 서부 지역의 강수량 부족이 심했던 것으로 나타났다. 강수에 의한 2016년 자연유출량을 중권역 단위로 산정한 결과 1967~2015년 평균 대비 91% 수준의 유출량이 발생된 것으로 추정되었다. 이는 평균적으로 강수량이 많은 6월과 8월에 강수가 적었기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 특히 6개 주요 유역 중 유역면적이 가장 넓은 한강 유역은 낙동강 유역보다 약 6억톤 적은 값을 보였다. 생공용수 공급의 주요 수원인 다목적댐의 총저수량은 2014~2015년의 극심한 가뭄으로 2016년 1월 1일에 예년보다 10억톤 가량 적었다. 하지만 봄철에 예년보다 다소 많은 강수가 발생하고, 홍수기 초에도 많은 강수가 발생하여 저수상황이 다소 개선되었다. 8월의 적은 강수량으로 저수량이 지속적으로 하락하였으나 9, 10월에 걸쳐 태풍에 의한 많은 강수로 예년 대비 104.4% 수준의 저수량을 확보하였다. K-water 가뭄정보분석시스템을 통해 매월 초 생공용수 관련 가뭄현황 및 1 3개월 전망을 분석하였다. 매월 초 가뭄예경보를 위해 분석된 가뭄현황에서는 3월초, 9월초, 10월초, 11월초에 보령댐을 수원으로 하는 충남 서부 8개 시 군에서 가뭄상황 '주의'가 발생했고, 6월초 강원도 강릉시 상수원인 오봉저수지 저수량이 평년보다 낮아 가뭄상황 '주의'가 발생하였다. 언론보도를 바탕으로한 가뭄 발생 상황을 가뭄정보분석시스템을 통해 판단한 가뭄 상황과 비교한 결과 가뭄정보분석 시스템에 의한 가뭄인지가 신뢰할 수 있는 수준인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 가뭄정보분석시스템에 의한 1 3개월 가뭄전망과 1 3개월 후 실제 가뭄 상황을 비교한 결과 전망 정확도가 대체로 높아 가뭄정보분석시스템에 의한 가뭄전망이 신뢰할 만한 수준인 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, in the field of water resource engineering, interest in predicting time series water levels and flow rates using deep learning technology that has rapidly developed along with the Fourth Industrial Revolution is increasing. In addition, although water-level and flow-rate prediction have been performed using the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model that can predict time-series data, the accuracy of flow-rate prediction in rivers with rapid temporal fluctuations was predicted to be very low compared to that of water-level prediction. In this study, the Paldang Bridge Station of the Han River, which has a large flow-rate fluctuation and little influence from tidal waves in the estuary, was selected. In addition, time-series data with large flow fluctuations were selected to collect water-level and flow-rate data for 2 years and 7 months, which are relatively short in data length, to be used as training and prediction data for the LSTM and GRU models. When learning time-series water levels with very high time fluctuation in two models, the predicted water-level results in both models secured appropriate accuracy compared to observation water levels, but when training rapidly temporal fluctuation flow rates directly in two models, the predicted flow rates deteriorated significantly. Therefore, in this study, in order to accurately predict the rapidly changing flow rate, the water-level data predicted by the two models could be used as input data for the rating curve to significantly improve the prediction accuracy of the flow rates. Finally, the results of this study are expected to be sufficiently used as the data of flood warning system in urban rivers where the observation length of hydrological data is not relatively long and the flow-rate changes rapidly.

As the flood damage on small streams increase due to the increase in frequency of extreme climate events, the need to measure hydraulic data of them has increased for disaster risk management. National Disaster Management Institute, Ministry of Interior and Safety develops CADMT, a CCTV-based automatic discharge measurement technology, and operates pilot small streams to verify its performance and develop disaster risk management technology. The research selects two small streams such as the Neungmac and the Jungsunpil streams to develop the Nomograph by using the 4-Parameter Logistic method using only the observed rainfall data from the Automatic Weather System operated by the Korea Meteorological Agency closest to the small streams and discharge data collected by using the CADMT. To evaluate developed Nomograph, the research forecasts floods discharges in each small stream and compares the result with the observed discharges. As a result of the evaluations, the forecasted value is found to represent the observed value well, so if more accurate observed data are collected and the Nomograph based on it is developed in the future, the high-accuracy flood prediction and warning will be possible.

Recent intensification of climate change has led to an increase in damages caused by droughts. Currently, in Korea, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) is used as a criterion to classify the intensity of droughts. Based on the accumulated precipitation over the past six months (SPI-6), meteorological drought intensities are classified into four categories: concern, caution, alert, and severe. However, there is a limitation in classifying drought intensity solely based on precipitation. To overcome the limitations of the meteorological drought warning criteria based on SPI, this study collected emergency water supply damage data from the National Drought Information Portal (NDIP) to classify drought intensity. Factors of SPI, such as precipitation, and factors used to calculate evapotranspiration, such as temperature and humidity, were indexed using min-max normalization. Coefficients for each factor were determined based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The drought intensity based on emergency water supply was used as the dependent variable, and the coefficients of each meteorological factor determined by GA were used as coefficients to derive a new Drought Severity Classification Index (DSCI). After deriving the DSCI, cumulative distribution functions were used to present intensity stage classification boundaries. It is anticipated that using the proposed DSCI in this study will allow for more accurate drought intensity classification than the traditional SPI, supporting decision-making for disaster management personnel.

In this study, runoff characteristics analysis was conducted as a basic research to establish a forecasting and warning system for flood risk areas in small mountainous basins in South Korea. The Danyang 1 Bridge basin located in Danyang-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do was selected as the study basin, and the watershed characteristic factors were calculated using Q-GIS based on the digital elevation model (DEM) of the basin. In addition, nine heavy rainfall events were selected from 2020 to 2023 using hydrometeorological data provided by the National Water Resources Management Comprehensive Information System. HEC-HMS rainfall-runoff model was used to analyze the runoff characteristics of small mountainous basins, and rainfall-runoff model simulation was performed by reflecting 9 heavy rainfall events and calculated basin characteristic factors. Based on the rainfall-runoff model, parameter optimization was performed for six heavy rain events with large error rates among the simulated events, and the appropriate parameter range for the Danyang 1 Bridge basin, a small mountainous basin, was calculated to be 0.8 to 3.4. The results of this study will be utilized as foundational data for establishing flood forecasting and warning systems in small mountainous basin, and further research will be conducted to derive the range of parameters according to basin characteristics.

This study is to develop a web-based real-time agricultural flood management system(RAFMS) for 378 agricultural reservoirs equipped with auto water level gauge stations. The RAFMS was designed to operate linking with Rural Agricultural Water Resource Information System(RAWRIS) which supports data viz. real-time rainfall and water level necessary for RAFMS. The system was constituted to monitor the floods simultaneously at each reservoir by calculating the real-time reservoir inflow from watersheds, water level, and release to downstream. In addition, the system has the prediction function for the flood by applying weather forecasting data from Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA).

유역에서 발생한 고탁수가 저수지내에서 장기화하는 현상에 관한 대책은 장기간이 소요되는 유역관리 대책과 탁수저감일수를 최소화하는 선택취수 개념의 우선 방류기법 등이 있다. 하류하천으로의 탁수 우선배제를 실시하기 위해서는 댐 방류탁수가 하류에 미치는 영향을 정확히 예측할 수 있는 하천탁도 예측 및 관리시스템 구축이 필요하다. 최근 고탁수현상을 경험한 낙동강 수계에서는 본류의 탁도 관리를 위해 임하댐 및 안동댐의 연직 탁도 분포 변화에 따라 댐 방류탁수에 의한 영향을 최소 또는 기준치 이하로 할 수 있는 댐 연계운영에 관한 조건 도출이 필요하다. 선택취수에 관한 수치모의 결과를 이용하여 저수지내 온도 및 탁도 분포 변화와 취수탑의 수문운영에 따른 방류수의 온도 및 탁도를 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 결과를 이용하여 안동댐과 임하댐의 방류조건에 대한 하류하천 합류부에서의 2차원 이송 확산 수치모의를 수행하고자 하였다. 이와 같은 연구를 성공적으로 수행하기 위해서는 지속적인 현장조사를 통한 지점별 탁도-SS 상관관계 도출, 비정상 흐름 및 수질모의 검 보정, 탁도예측 결과 검증이 필요하다. 평면 2차원 흐름 및 수질 모의 결과에 의하면, 임하댐 방류 탁도로 인한 반변천의 고탁수는 안동댐 방류 수에 지배를 받는 낙동강 본류와 합류되는 지점에서부터 약 5 km 떨어진 지점에서 횡방향 완전혼합이 이루어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 모의결과는 완전혼합을 가정하는 1차원 수질모델링의 초기 입력자료에 사용됨으로써 1차원 탁도 모의결과의 정확성을 높이는 데 사용될 수 있다. 이를 이용하여 낙동강 수계 댐 연계운영에 따른 낙동강 탁도 예측모의를 수행하고, 이 결과를 이용하여 낙동강 탁도 예경보 시스템을 구축해야 할 것이다. 또한 선택취수 등을 통해 저수지 관리를 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서는 저수지 내부의 탁도 거동을 정확히 예측할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 추후 동수역학 및 열역학에 기초한 3차원 수치모형 연구와 성층흐름에 정밀한 밀도류 실험연구 및 이에 대한 적용이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
