Groundwater recharge rates were estimated and compared in a headwater catchment at the Gwangneung Supersite using three different methods: water-table fluctuation (WTF), mass balance, and hydrograph separation techniques. Data were obtained during the rainy season from June to September 2005. Two different WTF methods estimated the groundwater recharge rate as 25.9% and 23.6%. The mass balance calculation of chloride ions indicated recharge rates of 13.4% on average. Baseflow separation using chloride ion as a tracer from six storm hydrographs produced a 14.0% net baseflow rate on average. Because of the implicit assumption of a long-term steady state without storage change, recharge rates calculated by mass balance and hydrograph separation were smaller than those done with WTF methods, which include the amount of increased storage due to the water-level rise. Subsequently, the WTF method is superior to others in the estimation of groundwater recharge rate to comprehend the dynamic characteristics of the hydrologic cycle.

In this study, a series of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) numerical analyses were performed in order to evaluate the thermal performance of six full-scale closed-loop vertical ground heat exchangers constructed in a test bed located in Wonju. The circulation HDPE pipe, borehole and surrounding ground formation were modeled using FLUENT, a finite-volume method (FVM) program, for analyzing the heat transfer process of the system. Two user-defined functions (UDFs) accounting for the difference in the temperatures of the circulating inflow and outflow fluid and the variation of the surrounding ground temperature with depth were adopted in the FLUENT model. The relevant thermal properties of materials measured in laboratory were used in the numerical analyses to compare the thermal efficiency of various types of the heat exchangers installed in the test bed. The simulation results provide a verification for the in-situ thermal response test (TRT) data. The CFD numerical back-analysis with the ground thermal conductivity of 4 W/mK yielded better agreement with the in-situ thermal response tests than with the ground thermal conductivity of 3 W/mK.

Increase of climate variability due to climate change has paved the way for regional drought monitoring and outlook. In particular, Gimcheon-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, is suffering from frequent and periodic drought damage as the frequency and magnitude of drought are increasing due to climate change. For this reason, it is necessary to analyze drought characteristics for sub-districts based on water district and calculate the basic low-flow considering climate change. In this study, meteorological and hydrological drought outlook were carried out for 8 sub-districts considering the water supply system and regional characteristics of Gimcheon-si according to various climate change scenarios. In addition, the low-flow frequency analysis for the near future was also performed using the total amount of runoff and the low-flow. The overall results indicated that, meteorological droughts were found to be dangerous in the S0(1974~2019) period and hydrological droughts would be dangerous in the S2(2041~2070) period for RCP 4.5 and in S3(2071~2099) period for RCP 8.5. The results of low-flow frequency analysis indicated that future runoff would increase but drought magnitude and frequency would increase further. The results and methodology may be useful for preparing local governments' drought measures and design standards for local water resources facilities.

The hydrologic cycle and BOD pollutant loads of all sub-watersheds were analyzed using HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran). At first, sensitivity analyses to water quantity (peak discharge and total volume) and quality (BOD peak concentrations and total loads) were conducted and some critical Parameters were selected. For more precise simulation, the study watershed was divided into four parts according to the landuse characteristics and used climate data and so calibrated and verified respectively. It was found that as the urban area ratio increases in the downstream direction, baseflow decreases (11.1 % $\rightarrow$ 5.0%) and the ratio of direct runoff volume(42.5 % $\rightarrow$ 56.9 %), BOD concentration (3.3 mg/L $\rightarrow$ 15.0 mg/L) and unit loads (55.4 kg/ha/year $\rightarrow$ 354.5 kg/ha/year) increase.

Development of IT technology as well as arrival of information-oriented society raise the curtain of 'the era of Ubiquitous Computing', implying accessing computers beyond boundary of time and space. In this era, it is expected that IT paradigms and life-styles would be transformed immensely above the experiences of 20th century. However, improvement of technology summons a new risk of cyber terrorism which have not been in the past. Thus, it is urgent to prepare for the threats in the national level. This paper point out five major threats relating to 'the security in the era of Ubiquitous Computing'. : First, spread of threats in connection with BcN establishment, second, vulnerable information-security for wireless communication, third, leakage of private information, fourth, cyber terror and deterioration of security, fifth, security problems of Korea including the drain of military information and solutions in the views of organization, personnel, technology and budget, comparing with other countries.

A representative unit hydrograph responding to a small basin is used to calculate the flood discharge in the basin. The peak discharge and the time to peak of the unit hydrograph are dealt with its characteristic values. In this study it is shown and analyzed the fluctuations at peak discharges and times to peak of unit hydrographs by rainfall storms in a small national basin $8.5\;km^2$ wide are no small. And on assumption that a major factor in the fluctuations of the unit hydrographs in a small basin be rainfall intensity of a rainstorm, both relations of peak discharge and time to peak with rainfall intensity are suggested as exponential functions respectively. In this result although it is a limit of the study in which its result is accompanied with not small dispersion in the peak values of unit hydrograph due to a defect in used data it is sure an averaging regression relation between peak discharge and time to peak with rainfall intensity as identified in this study has hydrological worth from the complementary viewpoint of the theory of unit hydrograph.

Three types of methods are used to determine the lag time which is an important parameter in estimating the geomorphological instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) and their results are anlyzed hydrologically in this study. The first method uses only the average velocity and second one uses the combination of the stream length and the average velocity. The third method employs the relationship between watershed area and lag time obtained from the empirical coefficients of Boyd and Singh. To verify the applicabilities of such methods to the actual river basin, the obtained lag times were tested by using the observed data. The results showed that the first method was applicable to small watershed area but not to larger area. The several other hydrologic characteristics beside the watershed area should be considered for the third method because the accuracy of the lag time was not good. Finally, the second method gave the most similar simulation results and the best agreements to the observed runoff data than any other method.

최근의 유출해석은 지리정보체계(GIS, Geographic Information System) 및 지형자료(DEM, Digital Elevation Model 등) 구축의 발달로 대부분 격자 기반의 분포형 강우-유출 모형을 통해 이루어지고 있으며, Rodriguez-Iturbe and Valdes (1979)에 의해 소개된 통계물리학적 접근방법인 지형학적 순간단위도(GIUH)모형 역시 DEM을 기반으로 한 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어 온 실정이다(Maidment, 1993; D'odorico and Rigon, 2003; Di Lazzaro, 2010). 이러한 격자 기반 모형들은 대부분 8방향 최급경사에 기초한 흐름방향도를 기반으로 물의 유동을 표현한다. 8방향법에 의해 결정된 흐름방향도를 이용할 경우 각 격자 중심에서 유역출구 까지의 배수로경로길이를 비교적 쉽고, 빠르게 계산할 수 있다는 장점을 가지나, 공간해상도(격자 규모)에 따라 상이한 결과를 나타내는 것을 예상할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DEM의 공간해상도에 따른 배수경로길이의 통계적 변화양상을 살펴보고, 이로부터 실제 수문사상의 통계적 특성과 Di Lazzaro(2010)의 특성유속산정 공식을 이용해 지표면과 하천의 특성유속을 산정하였다. 산정된 특성유속들을 D'odorico and Rigon(2003)이 제시한 값과 비교함으로써 격자 기반의 GIUH 모형의 적용에 있어서 적정 공간해상도를 찾고자 하였다. 대상유역으로는 국제수문개발계획(IHP, International Hydrological Project)의 금강수계 보청천 유역 중 이평수위국을 출구로하는 소유역을 선정하였으며, DEM의 공간해상도는 수치지형도의 축척을 고려하여 1: 5,000의 경우 5, 10, 15, 20m를, 1: 25,000의 경우 20, 30, 50, 100, 150, 200m로 결정하였다. 분석 결과 격자 형태 GIUH의 특성유속을 산정을 위한 적정 공간해상도는 1:5,000의 경우 5m를, 1:25,000의 경우에는 20～50m의 범위를 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, We proposed a method to estimate the design flood by area ratio in an ungauged basin. For that, the discharge parameters was determined by calibration of observed data at the watershed outlet and then peak flow was estimated by area ratio. In order to verify suggested method, peak flow was compared the observed discharge of the small river basin and the design flood discharge of river implementation projects. The results were summarized as follows. As a result of comparing the discharge by the area ratio and observed discharge, the difference of peak flows were analysed 14 ~ 25%. When the discharge calculated with area ratio of small river was compared with the design flood discharge of river implementation projects, the relative error was analyzed to be less than 20%. It means that suggested method in this study is appropriate.
