The aim of this study was to investigate damage conditions of cut slope structures due to acid rock drainage (ARB) and to assess the acid production potential of various rocks. Acid rock drainage is produced by the oxidation of sulfide minerals contained in coal mine zone and mineralization belt of Pyeongan supergroup and Ogcheon group, pyrite-bearing andesite, and Tertiary acid sulfate soils in Korea. Most of cut slopes producing ARB have been treated with shotcrete to reduce ARD. According to the field observations, ARD had an adverse effect on slope structures. The corrosion of shotcrete, anchors and rock bolts and the bad germination and growth diseases of covering plants due to ARD were observed in the field. The concentration of heavy metals and pH of ARD from cut slope exceeded the environmental standard, indicating a high potential of environmental pollution of surrounding soil, surface water and ground water by the ARD. According to acid base accounting (ABA) of the studied samples, hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks, tuffs, coaly shales, tailings of metallic mine had a relatively high potential of acid production but gneiss and granite had no or less acid production potential. It is expected that the number of cut slopes will increase hereafter considering the present construction trend. In order to reduce the adverse effect of ARD in construction sites, we need to secure the data base for potential ARD producing area and to develop the ARD reduction technologies suitable.

The area of investigation belongs to Okchon metamorphic zone and the fault fractured zone runs parallel to the tunnel direction. It causes the independent decline of tunnel face and the slackness of the tunnel surrounding base so, after all, the severe displacement has occurred within the tunnel. Accordingly, the TSP(Tunnel Seismic Prediction) survey has been performed to investigate the extent of fault fractured zone and to analize its characteristics. Also, we have analized the behavior causes by performing the tunnel face mapping and drilling investigation, and confirmed the position and scale of geological anomaly area and front fractured zone which influences tunnel excavation and supporting. Collected data analyzed ground layer condition through 3 dimensional modeling. Several variables included in the modeling were analyzed by geostastistics. The analysis of the modeling data shows that the belt of weathering by fault fractured zone is developing on the basis of the right side of tunnel and that is decreasing to the left side. The fault fractured zone was confirmed that it has strike, $N0\~5^{\circ}E$ dip NW, and it is consisted of large-scale fractured zone including several anomalies. The severe displacement in tunnel is probably caused by asymmetrical load that n generated by the crossing of discontinuity and the rock strength imbalance of tunnel's both side by fault fractured zone, and judge that need tunnel reinforcement method of grouting etc.

수자원의 효율적 이용 및 관리는 심화되고 있는 기후변화에 선제적으로 대응하고 발생가능한 물위기에 대비하기 위한 필수조건이다. 그 중 가장 핵심이 되는 요소는 댐에 저수된 물을 효과적으로 이용하는 것, 즉 댐 건설목적에 따라 시간 및 공간별로 적절하게 할당시키는 것이라고 할 수 있다(Kim, 1998). 그러나 단일 댐의 운영과는 달리 수계내 댐군의 연계 운영은 매우 복잡하고 어려운 문제이다. 연계된 댐들간 저수 상황을 고려하여 유역내 시 공간적인 용수 수요의 지속적인 충족을 위하여 유입량 예측의 정확성을 높이도록 하고, 상류 댐에 최대한 저류하도록 하며, 여수로 방류 같은 불필요한 방류를 최소화 하고, 서로 상충되는 목표를 갖고 있지만, 홍수용량 및 발전수위를 최대로 확보하도록 하여야 한다. 이처럼 댐 운영을 위한 실제 상황은 단일 목적에 의한 최적화와는 달리 여러 상충되는 목적 및 구성 요소들간의 타협, 조정을 필요로 한다. 댐군의 연계운영 문제는 1960년대 초부터 현재까지 활발히 연구가 진행되어 온 분야 중 하나이나 문제의 복잡성과 어려움으로 인해 아직까지도 최선의 방안을 제시하기 어려운 문제이다(ReVelle, 2000). 이를 위한 방법은 시뮬레이션 모형 활용기법과 최적화 모형 활용기법으로 대별할 수 있으며 각 방법의 서로 다른 구조적 특성과 장단점으로 인하여 이원화된 체계로 사용되는 것이 현재의 국내 실정이다. 대부분의 실무에서는 이해도도 쉽고, 비교적 결과를 빨리 도출할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 기반의 모형을 활용하며 대표적으로 HEC-5, K-ModSim, HEC-ResSim 등이 활용되어왔다. 반면, 학계에서는 DP, MIP, SLP, SDP 등 최적화기법을 댐운영에 활용 할 것을 제안하고 있지만, 활용에 대한 거부감이 남아있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션과 최적화기법의 원론적 비교를 통해 각 방법의 장단점과 한계점을 분석하고, 왜 이원화된 사용체계로 되었는지에 대한 고찰과 이에 대한 해결책으로 시뮬레이션모형의 장점과 최적화기법의 장점을 결합한 모형을 제안한다. 국내에는 Kim and Park(1998)이 시뮬레이션 기반의 최적화 모형 CoMOM(Coordinated Multi-Reservoir Operating Model)을 개발하였으며, 이후 21C프론티어 연구사업(2001-2011)에서 모형의 보완수정 검증을 통해 실무 활용도를 높여 왔다. 본 연구를 통하여 거부감의 원천을 추적해 보고, 타당한 이유가 있는지 대한 것을 심층 분석해보고, CoMOM모형과 시뮬레이션 모형, 다른 최적화 기법들과의 원론적 비교를 통해 각 방법들의 효율적인 활용방안과 최적화모형의 구체적인 활용방안을 제시하고자 한다.

국내 기후 특성상 하절기에 집중되는 강우로 인해 댐의 건설을 홍수조절, 용수확보 및 전력생산 등의 목적에 있어서 불가피하다. 이와 같은 저수지와 하류하천은 댐 수문 개폐에 따라 흐름변화로 인하여 수체의 거동 및 수질 변화가 발생하며, 일반적인 하천과는 다른 특성을 지니게 된다. 또한 수심이 깊은 저수지의 경우에는 흐름방향과 더불어 수심 방향의 특성도 중요하며, 수리 및 수질 모형의 연계를 통한 3차원적인 해석을 필요로 한다. 유역 내 지상 또는 대기에서 발생한 모든 오염물질은 강우에 의해 하천과 호수와 같은 수체로 유입되며, 강우가 발생했을 때 유역의 토지피복 상태와 수리, 지형, 강우강도, 토양의 특성에 의해 하천으로 유입되는 오염물질의 농도와 부하특성이 달라진다. 비점오염물질의 축적이 가능한 호수나 저수지에서는 비점오염원의 유입이 더 큰 문제가 되며, 유량이 극히 미미한 하천의 경우에는 강우초기에 일시에 집중적으로 유입되는 초기 오염 부하량이 문제가 된다. 강우유출수의 하천 유입은 강우 현상과 밀접한 관계를 맺고 있으므로 그 제어가 쉽지 않다. 이러므로 이를 총괄하는 유역통합관리기술이 필요로 하며, 기존의 유역통합관리기술은 댐 상류유역을 중심으로 개발되고 있으며, 댐 상류유역과 저수지, 하류하천으로 구분되어 연구되어 왔다. 또한 각각의 모형이 개별적으로 적용되어 통합적인 평가시스템이 표준화되지 않은 관계로 댐 상하류 모니터링 자료가 연계된 실무 적용이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 하천 수리 수문학적 역학구조를 이해하고 그 특성에 적합하게 평가할 수 있는 표준화된 시스템이 구축되어야 한다. 또한 효과적인 유역통합관리를 위해서는 하천의 현재 뿐만 아니라 장래에 대한 예측부분도 포함되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 댐 유역에서의 유출과 수질 변화를 모의하고 이를 이용하여 저수지 내에서의 오염물질 거동에 대해서 해석하였다. 또한 기후변화에 따른 유역, 저수지 및 하천에 미치는 영향을 고려하기 위하여 고해상도 지역기후전망 모의자료를 이용하여 수문학적 스케일로 통계적 상세화한 후 지역별 상세수문시나리오를 생산하여 미래 예측에 활용하였다. 기후변화 시나리오의 상세화를 통한 상세지역의 기후를 예측하고, 예측된 기상자료를 이용하여 유역모델을 모의하여 미래의 유출 및 수질 변화를 파악할 수 있는 기술 개발로 인해 저수지의 운영에 도움을 주고, 주수지의 치수증대 사업 등 유출의 변화에 따른 하류하천 변화를 파악할 수 있고, 기후변화에 따른 하류하천에 대한 홍수기 때 치수, 이수 및 방재에 대하여 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Seasonality of hydrologic extreme variable is a significant element from a water resources managemental point of view. It is closely related with various fields such as dam operation, flood control, irrigation water management, and so on. Hydrological frequency analysis conjunction with partial duration series rather than block maxima, offers benefits that include data expansion, analysis of seasonality and occurrence. In this study, nonstationary frequency analysis based on the Bayesian model has been suggested which effectively linked with advantage of POT (peaks over threshold) analysis that contains seasonality information. A selected threshold that the value of upper 98% among the 24 hours duration rainfall was applied to extract POT series at Seoul station, and goodness-fit-test of selected GEV distribution has been examined through graphical representation. Seasonal variation of location and scale parameter ($\mu$ and $\sigma$) of GEV distribution were represented by Fourier series, and the posterior distributions were estimated by Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. The design rainfall estimated by GEV quantile function and derived posterior distribution for the Fourier coefficients, were illustrated with a wide range of return periods. The nonstationary frequency analysis considering seasonality can reasonably reproduce underlying extreme distribution and simultaneously provide a full annual cycle of the design rainfall as well.

The purpose of this study is to predict monthly agricultural reservoir storage by developing weather data-based Multiple Linear Regression Model (MLRM) with precipitation, maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, and average wind speed. Using Naïve-Bayes classification, total 1,559 nationwide reservoirs were classified into 30 clusters based on geomorphological specification (effective storage volume, irrigation area, watershed area, latitude, longitude and frequency of drought). For each cluster, the monthly MLRM was derived using 13 years (2002~2014) meteorological data by KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) and reservoir storage rate data by KRC (Korea Rural Community). The MLRM for reservoir storage rate showed the determination coefficient ($R^2$) of 0.76, Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) of 0.73, and root mean square error (RMSE) of 8.33% respectively. The MLRM was evaluated for 2 years (2015~2016) using 3 months weather forecast data of GloSea5 (GS5) by KMA. The Reservoir Drought Index (RDI) that was represented by present and normal year reservoir storage rate showed that the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) average hit rate was 0.80 using observed data and 0.73 using GS5 data in the MLRM. Using the results of this study, future reservoir storage rates can be predicted and used as decision-making data on stable future agricultural water supply.

In this study, we explain the environmental variables that mainly influence the spatial and seasonal pattern of Galerucella nipponensis in 38 wetland and stream located at mid-low Nakdong River. G. nipponensis were found at total of 32 wetland, was strongly positively correlated with the biomass of Trapa japonica (t=2.173, $r^2=0.013$, p<0.05). In result of seasonal distribution during 3 years, the largest density of G. nipponensis adult were observed in summer (7~8 months), egg and larva was recorded in only early spring (4~5 months). Rainfall were negatively related with the seasonal distribution of G. nipponensis. They were more abundant in dry season (2015 year) than rainy seasons(2013~2014 year). Stable isotope analysis showed that the G. nipponensis consumed as food source no submerged leaf of T. japonica than other plant. However, utilization of T. japonica on Galerucella nipponensis were not influence to plant biomass and/or species composition in vegetated bed. Those considered as adaptive strategies for sustainable habitat maintenance that because T. japonica use as not only food source but also their lives for G. nipponensis.
