보는 수로나 하천의 수위를 조절하고 취수 등의 편의를 제공하기 위해 건설되는 하천 구조물이다. 일반적인 보(고정보)는 상시 담수 되어 농업용수, 생활용수, 공업용수 등의 취수원으로 활용되지만, 최근에 설치되는 보(가동보)들은 수문을 설치하여 필요에 따라 수위를 조절할 수 있게 되어 있다. 이와 같은 보의 운영은 보 상류의 유속, 수심, 흐름 특성, 하천 형상 등의 변화를 발생시킨다. 이에 따라 보 상류에 위치한 수위관측소의 수리학적 영향에 대하여 검토할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 광주천 유역에 위치한 광주광역시(유촌교)관측소를 대상으로 하류 900m에 위치한 가동보 수문 운영 조건에 따른 보 상류부의 수위, 유속, 수심, 흐름 특성을 조사하고 가동보의 수문 개방과 폐쇄에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 가동보는 상시 폐쇄되어 있으며, 강우 발생 시에만 일정 수위 이상에서 자동으로 개방되는 형태로 운영되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 총 30회의 수위관측 및 유량측정을 하였다. 가동보 운영에 따른 수위, 유속, 흐름 특성 변화와 유량 자료를 확보하기 위해 광주시청 및 광주환경공단의 협조 요청을 통해 광주광역시(유촌교)관측소를 기준으로 상류 약 50m와 하류 약 420m에 측정 위치를 선정하여 동시 유량측정을 하였다. 또한 가동보 운영에 따른 수면경사의 정도를 파악하기 위해 광주광역시(유촌교)관측소를 기준으로 상류 약 50m, 10m, 5m, 하류 약 420m, 500m, 900m에 각각 수위표를 설치하여 총 6회 수면경사를 계측하였다. 그 결과 광주광역시(유촌교)관측소에서는 보 수문 운영에 따라 수리학적 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었고 이를 이용하여 흐름 특성 변화를 반영한 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하였다.

Monitoring sediment loads in natural rivers is the key process in river engineering, but it is costly and dangerous. In practice, suspended loads are directly measured, and total loads, which is a summation of suspended loads and bed loads, are estimated. This study proposes a real-time sediment discharge monitoring system using the horizontal acoustic Doppler current profiler (H-ADCP) and support vector regression (SVR). The proposed system is comprised of the SVR model for suspended sediment concentration (SVR-SSC) and for total loads (SVR-Q_TL), respectively. SVR-SSC estimates SSC and SVR-Q_TL mimics the modified Einstein procedure. The grid search with K-fold cross validation (Grid-CV) and the recursive feature elimination (RFE) were employed to determine SVR's hyperparameters and input variables. The two SVR models showed reasonable cross-validation scores (R²) with 0.885 (SVR-SSC) and 0.860 (SVR-Q_TL). During the time-series sediment load monitoring period, we successfully detected various sediment transport phenomena in natural streams, such as hysteresis loops and sensitive sediment fluctuations. The newly proposed sediment monitoring system depends only on the gauged features by H-ADCP without additional assumptions in hydraulic variables (e.g., friction slope and suspended sediment size distribution). This method can be applied to any ADCP-installed discharge monitoring station economically and is expected to enhance temporal resolution in sediment monitoring.

In surface image velocimetry, a wide area of a river is photographed at an angle to measure its velocity, inevitably causing image distortion. Although a distorted image can be corrected into an orthogonal image by using 2D projective coordinate transformation and considering reference points on the same plane as the water surface, this method is limited by the uncertainty of changes in the water level in the event of a flood. Therefore, in this study, we developed a tilt image correction technique that corrects distortions in oblique images without resetting the reference points while coping with changes in the water level using the geometric relationship between the coordinates of the reference points set at a high position the camera, and the vertical distance between the water surface and the camera. Furthermore, we developed a distortion correction method to verify the corrected image, wherein we conducted a full-scale river experiment to verify the reference point transformation equation and measure the surface velocity. Based on the verification results, the proposed tilt image correction method was found to be over 97% accurate, whereas the experiment result of the surface velocity differed by approximately 4% as compared to the results calculated using the proposed method, thereby indicating high accuracy. Application of the proposed method to an image-based fixed automatic discharge measurement system can improve the accuracy of discharge measurement in the event of a flood when the water level changes rapidly.

This study is about the development of measurement system using ubiquitous wireless communication for river flow monitoring. The system can acquire water depth, quality (temperature, pH, conductivity, turbidity etc.) while a GPS module for getting the location data of measurement points. Also this system is able to acquire the field data via RF connection and can be controlled same time. The acquired data is transmitted to a gateway system from the remote buoy using Zigbee wireless connection. And the gateway system is able to monitor the data through GIS monitoring tool. Finally the data are transmitted to a server computer using CDMA wireless connection by gateway system. The D/B of server computer are constructed automatically and monitored the project web site. The resulting system can be used for scour monitoring, environment monitoring and the other monitoring purposes such as a river flow monitoring system.
