According to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate change increases the frequency of abnormal weather phenomenon. As the frequency of abnormal weather phenomenon increases, frequency of disasters related to water resources such as floods and droughts also increases. Drought is the main factor that directly affects water supply. Recently, the intensity of drought and the frequency of drought occurrence have increased in Korea. So, there is a need for water resource securing technology for stable water supply. Korean Water Plan mentioned that water reserves concept is necessary for stable water supply. Most multi-purpose reservoirs in Korea have emergency storage in addition to conservation storage used for water supply. However, there is no clear use standard for emergency storage. This study investigated the use of reservoir reserves for stable water supply. In order to consider the climate change impact, the AR5-based hydrological scenario was used as inflow data for the reservoir simulation model. Reservoir simulations were carried out in accordance with the utilization conditions of emergency storage and water supply adjustment standard. The optimal reserves for each multi-purpose reservoirs was estimated using simulation results.

Seasonal succession of zooplankton community and species composition was studied from 2003 to 2014 in a deep reservoir, Lake Soyang, in monsoon climate region, Korea. Annual precipitation was concentrated more than 70% between June and September and it showed remarkably that seasonal variation in water quality. Seasonal variation of water quality in Lake Soyang appeared to be more significant than annual variations, and the inflow of turbid water during the summer rainfall was the most important environmental factor. Zooplankton sepecies composition in Lake Soyang showed obvious tendency through two periods (May to June and August to October) every year. Small zooplankton (rotifer; Keratella cochlearis, Polyarthra vulgaris) dominated in spring and mesozooplankton such as copepods and crustaceans were dominant in summer and fall. Zooplankton biomass showed the maximum in September after monsoon rainfall, and chlorophyll showed a similar seasonal variation and it showed a high correlation (r=0.45). The increase of zooplankton biomass is considered to be a bottom-up effect due to the increase of primary producers and inflow of nutrients and organic matter from rainfall. In this study, we found that the variation of zooplankton community was affected by rainfall in monsoon climate region and inflow of turbid water was an important environmental factor, which influenced the water quality, zooplankton seasonal succession in Lake Soyang. It was also considered to be influenced by hydrological characteristics of lake and environment of watershed. In conclusion, seasonal succession of zooplankton species composition was the same as the PEG model. But seasonal succession of zooplankton biomass differed not only in the temperate lake but also in the monsoon region.

Strawberries are one of the main commodities in Korea and have been exported over 40 million dollar. Because the strawberry cultivation using hydroponics has increased, treatment of pesticide by drenching draw interest recently. However, detailed researches for drenching treatment of pesticide are limited, which results in difficulties in proper pesticide applications in agricultural fields. To activate use of drenching and improve safety in agricultural products, In this study, time-dependent residual characteristic of pesticides were compared with between different applications of pesticides in strawberries. The characteristics of azoxystrobin, prochloraz and thiamethoxam were investigated with drenching treatment at different applications: the time of treatment, concentration etc. at hydroponic cultivation for 40 days. Azoxystrobin and prochloraz were not detected at 14 day after application. Thiamethoxam was detected from 0.02 to 0.85 mg/kg. Crop uptake of pesticides was strongly affected with octanol-water partition coefficient and solubility in water. Residual amount in crops are highly dependent on the concentration of active ingredient of pesticides.

우리나라는 국토의 대부분이 산악으로 이루어진 지형학적 특성과 여름철에 비가 집중된다는 기상학적 요인으로 인해 물관리가 어려운 편이다. 최근에는 기후변화로 인한 이상 기상 현상으로 돌발성 호우와 가뭄 등의 발생 빈도가 증대되면서 용수공급 관리는 더욱 더 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 가운데 장기 기상정보는 안정적인 이수기 용수 공급을 위한 댐 수위 운영 및 홍수기 운영 목표 수위 계획 수립 등에 활용도가 매우 높다. 최근 기상청은 2014년 6월 이후부터 기존의 장기예보를 확률 예보 방식으로 변경하면서 기온과 강수량에 대하여 평년 대비 높음(많음), 비슷, 낮음(적음)으로 단순 예보하는 기존의 방식에서 발생가능성에 대해 카테고리 별로 확률(%)을 발표하고 있다. 기후변화의 불확실성이 증가하는 가운데 개정된 새로운 형태의 확률장기예보를 물관리에 정량적으로 적용하여 보다 정확도 높은 중장기 물관리 체계가 구축되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 현재 기상청에서 제공하는 확률장기예보를 실제 댐 운영에 적용하기 위한 연구로서 과거 자료와 확률장기예보를 조합하여 2014년 6월~2015년 2월의 유역 강수량의 확률 분포를 전망하였다. 대상 지역은 안동댐 유역으로 과거 자료는 최근린법에 기초한 기상청 산하 관측소인 안동, 태백, 봉화, 영주의 1986~2013년의 월 자료를 사용하였고, Thissen법을 근거로 유역 강수량을 계산하였다. 확률장기예보는 안동댐 유역을 포함하는 대구 경북지역을 대상으로 한 동일한 기간의 예보 자료를 활용하였다. 과거 강수량은 각 월별로 적합도 검정 후 Gamma분포를 채택하였으며 이를 기반으로 예보의 카테고리 별 기준값을 산정한 후 장기예보의 확률정보를 조합하여 강수량의 확률 분포를 작성하였다. 이를 2014년 6월~2015년 2월의 실제 강수량과 비교한 결과 2014년 11월과 2015년 1월 경우 가장 큰 확률의 카테고리 강수 범위 안에 실제 강수량이 포함되었으나 나머지 월에서는 실제 값과 카테고리 확률 간에 상이한 결과를 보였다. 본 연구는 예보 자료 수의 제한 및 안동댐과 예보 구역의 지역 차에 의한 자료 차이 등이 배제되어 있기 때문에 참고 자료로만 활용 될 수 있을 것이라고 판단되며, 확률장기예보 정보를 이용하여 유역 강수량의 확률 분포를 산정함으로서 물관리 부문에서 예보의 정량적 적용 가능성을 최초로 제시했다는 것에 의의가 있다. 추후 기후 모델 특성과 확률장기예보 산출 기법 등을 보다 심도 깊게 고려하여 정확도 개선에 대한 연구가 보완되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

We analyzed the variations of water quality with flow regime alterations to determine the characteristics of the stream where the stream management is considerably difficult due to the high variability of the flow rates. In this study, both flow rates and water qualities were monitored at the tributaries, 34 in count, of both Geum River and Sabgyo Lake Basins. The variation of water qualities were divided into 2 types, based on their stream flow rates, known as Type I and Type II. If the water quality of a stream increases during low flow rate periods compared with high flow rate periods, it is classified as Type I; if the water quality of the stream increases during high flow rate periods compared with low flow rate periods, it falls under Type II. The analysis for the variations of water qualities, of all 43 basins, resulted to 24 basins under Type I and Nineteen 19 basins under Type II. The variations of water qualities were analyzed first by using Regression Analysis followed by Statistical Analysis. The average slope of the variations of water qualities and the slope of the standard deviations were 0.00135 and 0.00477, respectively. The Probability Distributions of both Type I and Type II basins were 61.1% and 38.9%, respectively. The basin having a probability distribution of 61.1% and is also known as Type I, increases during periods of low flow rates, due to the presence of point sources. Therefore, the basin should be enforced with stream management. Before the stream management can be implemented in all streams falling under Type II, the sources of contaminants should first be estimated. These contaminants can be classified into two parts, the first is Point source pollution and the second is Non-point source pollution, where the Non-Point source pollution can be sub-divided into two types, with storm runoff and without storm runoff.

Synthetic Apreture Radar (SAR) is attracting attentions with its possibility of producing high resolution data that can be used for soil moisture estimation. High resolution soil moisture data enables more specific observation of soil moisture than existing soil moisture products from other satellites. It can also be used for studies of wildfire, landslide, and flood. The SAR based soil moisture estimation should be conducted considering vegetation, which affects backscattering signals from the SAR sensor. In this study, a SAR based soil moisture estimation at regions covered with various vegetation types on the middle area of Korea (Cropland, Grassland, Forest) is conducted. The representative backscattering model, Water Cloud Model (WCM) is used for soil moisture estimation over vegetated areas. Radar Vegetation Index (RVI) and in-situ soil moisture data are used as input factors for the model. Total 6 study areas are selected for 3 vegetation types according to land cover classification with 2 sites per each vegetation type. Soil moisture evaluation result shows that the accuracy of each site stands out in the order of grassland, forest, and cropland. Forested area shows correlation coefficient value higher than 0.5 even with the most dense vegetation, while cropland shows correlation coefficient value lower than 0.3. The proper vegetation and soil moisture conditions for SAR based soil moisture estimation are suggested through the results of the study. Future study, which utilizes additional ancillary vegetation data (vegetation height, vegetation type) is thought to be necessary.

An increase in the frequency and intensity of both floods and droughts has been recently observed due to an increase in climate variability. Especially, land-use change associated with industrial structure and urbanization has led to an imbalance between water supply and demand, acting as a constraint in water resource management. Accurate rainfall-runoff analysis plays a critical role in evaluating water availability in the water budget analysis. This study aimed to explore various continuous rainfall-runoff models over the Soyanggang dam watershed. Moreover, the ensemble modeling framework combining multiple models was introduced to present scenarios on streamflow considering uncertainties. In the ensemble modeling framework, rainfall-runoff models with fewer parameters are generally preferred for effective regionalization. In this study, more than 40 continuous rainfall-runoff models were applied to the Soyanggang dam watershed, and nine rainfall-runoff models were primarily selected using different goodness-of-fit measures. This study confirmed that the ensemble model showed better performance than the individual model over different flow regimes.

Recently, the number of natural and environmental disasters is rapidly increasing due to extreme weather caused by climate change, and the scale of economic losses and damage to human life is increasing accordingly. In addition, with urbanization and industrialization, the characteristics and scale of extreme weather appearance are becoming more complex and large in different ways from the past, and need for remote sensing and artificial intelligence technology for responding and managing global environmental disasters. This special issue investigates environmental disaster observation and management research using remote sensing and artificial intelligence technology, and introduces the results of disaster-related studies such as drought, flood, air pollution, and marine pollution, etc. in South Korea performed by the i-SEED (School of Integrated Science for Sustainable Earth and Environmental Disaster at Pukyong National University). In this special issue, we expect that the results can contribute to the development of monitoring and management technologies that may prevent environmental disasters and reduce damage in advance.

A distribution survey was conducted from March to August 2021 to evaluate the distribution status, habitat characteristics, and threat of extinction of the Korean cold-water fish Ladislabia taczanowskii Dybowski (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae). Historical distribution reports were divided into 1997~2005, 2006~2012, 2013~2019, and distribution surveyed 169 sampling sites, and 1,040 individuals were collected from 72 sites. Areas where the habitat was confirmed were Namhan River (27 stations), Han River (17 stations), Bukhan River (16 stations), Samcheok Osipcheon (4 stations), Yeongokcheon (3 stations), Gangneung Namdaecheon (2 stations), Jeoncheon (1 station), Chucheon (2 stations). The main habitat of L. taczanowskii was upstream of the river with a high altitude of more than 300 m, 2~30 m water flow width, 0.3~1.5 m water depth, and high ratio (50~90%) boulder bottoms. The main reasons for the decline in population size were assumed as river works, construction of reservoirs and bridges, discharge of contaminated water into the river, the inflow of summer vacationers, and weir. Compared to our results there exists evidence that states a 36.1% reduction in occupancy within 10 years, in a small appearance range (7,820 km²) and occupancy area (288 km²), number of disconnected locations (19 locations), and a decline in habitat quality. Therefore, L. taczanowskii is now considered as Vulnerable (VU) based on the results (VU A2ac, Near meets B1b (i, ii, iii)+B2b (i, ii, iii)) of IUCN Red List categories and criteria. Lastly, the conservation plan of Ladislabia taczanowskii was discussed.
