가뭄은 이수에 영향을 주는 피해 중 가장 대표적인 예라고 할 수 있다. 가뭄은 장기간에 걸쳐서 강수량이 부족하거나, 지속적인 일사량의 증가로 인하여 수문학적 물 균형이 깨어져서 물 부족 현상이 발생하는 것을 의미한다. 우리나라는 2001년에 기상관측 이래 때 이른 무더위와 극심한 가뭄으로 강원도지역을 중심으로 전국적인 피해를 입었다. 미국 해양기상청(NOAA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)에서는 20세기 최대의 자연재해 중 5위권내에 가뭄으로 인한 재해가 무려 4개나 랭크된바 있다. 하지만 우리나라에서는 홍수 등에 대비해서는 수해방지종합대책등 사전대책을 마련하여 방지대책을 세우지만, 가뭄에 대해서는 종합적인 사전예방대책보다는 복구 위주로 진행되고 있다. 이로 인해 가뭄으로 인한 피해상황 및 피해유발인자의 파악이 어렵고 객관적으로 표현할 수 있는 지표도 명확하지 않기 때문에 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 시급한 실정이다(이주헌과 이길재, 2006). 본 연구에서는 가뭄으로 인한 피해유발인자를 파악하기 위하여 UNDP(United Nations Development Programme, 2004)에서 제공하는 물리적 노출(Physical Exposure)정도를 1990년~2007년간의 유역별 월강수량 자료를 이용하여 가뭄의 발생 빈도별로 산정한 후에 가뭄으로 인한 농작물피해 및 제한급수에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 대하여 분석을 실시하였다.

가뭄은 과거부터 현재까지 국내뿐만 아니라 국외에서도 지속적으로 발생하고 있으며 가뭄피해를 줄이기 위하여 많은 연구가 과거에 수행되었고 현재까지도 진행되고 있다.(강동호 외 2명, 2019명) 가뭄은 일반적으로 강수량의 부족이 원인이 되어 나타나며 홍수와 달리 장기간에 걸쳐 광범위한 지역에 피해가 나타나는 특징이 있다. 그렇기에 가뭄은 감시 및 예측에 대한 어려움이 존재하며 우리나라에서도 가뭄으로 인해 수자원 공급 긴장상태를 경험하는 빈도가 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다.(유지영 외 3명, 2016) 적조현상은 특정 조류의 폭발적인 증식으로 해수가 붉은 빛을 띄며 용존산소량을 부족하게 만들어 해양 생태계를 파괴하는 현상이다. 적조현상은 1990년대 이후 대규모 적조가 발생하여 1995년에는 적조로 인해 약 764억의 손실이 발생한 사례가 있다.(연합뉴스, 2019.09) 이후에도 적조현상은 점점 광역화, 장기화, 고밀도화 되면서 연평균 110억 이상의 피해를 지속적으로 주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대상 지역을 대한민국 완도로 설정 하였다. 섬이라는 지역의 특성 상 가뭄이 발생하면 식수원의 공급이 어렵고 평시에도 물을 아끼기 위한 노력이 끊이지 않는 곳이다. 실제로 완도는 우리나라에서 가장 많은 피해이력이 있는 지역이다. 또 2016년 완도에서는 적조로 인해 전복이 집단 폐사하며 358억의 피해를 입은 사례가 있다.(중앙일보, 2016.09) 그렇기에 완도지역을 대상 지역으로 하여 비강우의 장기화 등의 이유로 나타나는 가뭄을 기상학적 가뭄지수 SPI를 활용하여 분석하고 ROC 분석을 통해 수온의 상승 시 나타나는 적조현상과의 관계를 분석함으로서 적조현상이 발생하는 한 척도로 가뭄의 발생 및 장기화를 생각 할 수 있는지 판단하고자 한다.

This study aims to investigate droughts from the magnitude perspective based on the SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) and the theory of runs applicable to quantitative analysis of drought in South Korea. In addition, the dry spell analysis was conducted on the drought history in the five major river basins of South Korea to obtain the magnitude, duration and severity of drought, and the quantitative evaluation has been made on historical droughts by estimating the return period using the SDF (Severity-Duration-Frequency) curve gained through drought frequency analysis. The analysis results showed that the return periods for droughts at the regional and major river basin scales were clearly identified. The return periods of severe drought that occurred around the major river basins in South Korea turn out to be mostly 30 to 50 years with the years of the worst drought in terms of severity being 1988 and 1994. In particular, South Korea experienced extremely severe droughts for two consecutive years during the period between 1994 and 1995. Drought in 2014 occurred in the Han River basin and was evaluated as the worst one in terms of severity and magnitude.

가뭄은 홍수와 함께 인류역사상 가장 큰 재해로 인식되어 있다. 미해양대기청의 발표에 따르면 20세기 최대 자연재해의 상위 5위 안에 4개의 가뭄이 포함되어 있다. 이러한 기록은 가뭄이 동서고금을 막론하고 국가의 흥망성쇠를 좌우할 만큼 막대한 피해를 입혀왔음을 의미한다. 그러나 가뭄의 해석은 가뭄의 정의 자체가 확실하지 않고 서서히 찾아오는 자연재해이기 때문에 그 시작과 끝을 인식하기 어렵다. 아울러 그 진행속도도 굉장히 느리며 또한 장기간에 걸쳐 지속되는 특성을 가지고 있고 시공간적으로 전파된다. 따라서 가뭄의 해석은 굉장히 까다로운 것이라 할 수 있으며 그 해석방법 또한 다양할 수 밖에 없다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라 전역 59개 지점의 표준강수지수(Standard Precipitation Index) 시계열 자료에 대한 공간적 패턴분석과 시간적인 자료확장을 시도하였다. 경험적 직교함수(Emperical Orthogonal function) 해석을 이용하여 자료의 공간적인 패턴을 확인하였고 EOF 해석에서 나타난 EOF Coefficient Time Series를 추계학적 모형에 적용하여 시간적인 자료 확장을 수행하였다. 이렇게 확장된 긴 기간의 자료를 이용하면 재현기간에 대한 평균적인 가뭄심도를 추출할 수 있으며 실제 나타난 사상의 재현기간이 어느 정도인지 평가할 수 있다. 또한 이렇게 나타난 가뭄심도를 강수부족량으로 환산하여 우리나라 대권역별 물부족량을 평가하였다.

Drought brings on long term damage in contrast to flood, on economic loss in the region, and on ecologic and environmental disruptions. Drought is one of major natural disasters and gives a painful hardship to human beings. So we have tried to quantify the droughts for reducing drought damage and developed the drought indices for drought monitoring and management. The Palmer's drought severity index (PDSI) is widely used for the drought monitoring but it has the disadvanges and limitations in that the PDSI is estimated by considering just climate conditions as pointed out by many researchers. Thus this study uses the SWAT model which can consider soil conditions like soil type and land use in addition to climate conditions. We estimate soil water (SW) and soil moisture index (SMI) by SWAT which is a long term runoff simulation model. We apply the SWAT model to Soyang dam watershed for SMI estimation and compare SMI with PDSI for drought analysis. Say, we calibrate and validate the SWAT model by daily inflows of Soyang dam site and we estimate long term daily soil water. The estimated soil water is used for the computation of SMI based on the soil moisture deficit and we compare SMI with PDSI. As the results, we obtained the determination coefficient of 0.651 which means the SWAT model is applicable for drought monitoring and we can monitor drought in more high resolution by using GIS. So, we suggest that SMI based on the soil moisture deficit can be used for the drought monitoring and management.

This study selected major drought events that occurred in the Jeonnam region from 1991 to 2023, examining both meteorological and hydrological drought occurrence mechanisms. The daily drought index was calculated using rainfall and dam storage as input data, and the drought propagation characteristics from meteorological drought to hydrological drought were analyzed. The characteristics of the 2022-23 drought, which recently occurred in the Jeonnam region and caused serious damage, were evaluated. Compared to historical droughts, the duration of the hydrological drought for 2022-2023 lasted 334 days, the second longest after 2017-2018, the drought severity was evaluated as the most severe at -1.76. As a result of a linked analysis of SPI (StandQardized Precipitation Index), and SRSI (Standardized Reservoir Storage Index), it is possible to suggest a proactive utilization for SPI(6) to respond to hydrological drought. Furthermore, by confirming the similarity between SRSI and SPI(12) in long-term drought monitoring, the applicability of SPI(12) to hydrological drought monitoring in ungauged basins was also confirmed. Through this study, it was confirmed that the long-term dryness that occurs during the summer rainy season can transition into a serious level of hydrological drought. Therefore, for preemptive drought response, it is necessary to use real-time monitoring results of various drought indices and understand the propagation phenomenon from meteorological-agricultural-hydrological drought to secure a sufficient drought response period.

Natural drought is a three-dimensional phenomenon that simultaneously evolves in time and space. To evaluate the link between meteorological and hydrological droughts, we defined a drought event from a three-dimensional perspective and analyzed the propagation characteristics in time and spaces. Overall results indicated that 77 % of the total cases of spatio-temporal droughts was propagated based on the single category relationship between meteorological and hydrological drought events, while 23 % was affected by multiple meteorological drought events to the occurrence of hydrological drougts. Especially, it turned out that the hydrological drought was caused by the spatio-temporal effects of the propagation of four meteorological drought events generated due to long-term lack of precipitation in 1994-1995. In addition, the meteorological drought caused by the lack of precipitation in the summer of 2001 lasted for several months, and was propagated to the hydrological drought in April 2002.

This study analyzed past drought characteristics based on the observed rainfall data and performed a long-term outlook for future extreme droughts using Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 (RCP 8.5) climate change scenarios. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) used duration of 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months, a meteorological drought index, was applied for quantitative drought analysis. A single long-term time series was constructed by combining daily rainfall observation data and RCP scenario. The constructed data was used as SPI input factors for each different duration. For the analysis of meteorological drought observed relatively long-term since 1954 in Korea, 12 rainfall stations were selected and applied 10 general circulation models (GCM) at the same point. In order to analyze drought characteristics according to climate change, trend analysis and clustering were performed. For non-stationary frequency analysis using sampling technique, we adopted the technique DEMC that combines Bayesian-based differential evolution ("DE") and Markov chain Monte Carlo ("MCMC"). A non-stationary drought frequency analysis was used to derive Severity-Duration-Frequency (SDF) curves for the 12 locations. A quantitative outlook for future droughts was carried out by deriving SDF curves with long-term hydrologic data assuming non-stationarity, and by quantitatively identifying potential drought risks. As a result of performing cluster analysis to identify the spatial characteristics, it was analyzed that there is a high risk of drought in the future in Jeonju, Gwangju, Yeosun, Mokpo, and Chupyeongryeong except Jeju corresponding to Zone 1-2, 2, and 3-2. They could be efficiently utilized in future drought management policies.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term drought outlook information based on long-term forecast data for the 2015 drought event. In order to estimate the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) for different durations (3-, 6-, 9-, 12-months), we used the observation precipitation of 59 Automated Synoptic Observing System (ASOS) sites, forecast and hindcast data of GloSea5. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis and statistical analysis (Correlation Coefficient, CC; Root Mean Square Error, RMSE) were used to evaluate the utilization of drought outlook information for the forecast lead-times (1~6months). As a result of ROC analysis, ROC scores of SPI(3), SPI(6), SPI(9) and SPI(12) were estimated to be over 0.70 until the 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-months. The CC and RMSE values of SPI(3), SPI(6), SPI(9) and SPI(12) for forecast lead-time were estimated as (0.60, 0.87), (0.72, 0.95), (0.75, 0.95) and (0.77, 0.89) until the 2-, 4-, 5- and 6-months respectively.

Drought is a water-related natural disaster which can be simply described as spatially and temporally sequential absence of water. However, its characteristics are very difficult to define. For this reason, the preparation and mitigation from drought events have not been successful. In the current study, we illustrated a design drought estimation approach of water resources infrastructures as well as the existing theoretical one to prepare and mitigate drought disasters. Theoretical and simulation methods were tested including three time series models such as autoregressive (AR), Gamma AR, Copula AR models. The results indicated that for South Korea region, the simulation-based method to estimate drought frequency presented better performance and all the three time series models show similar performance to each other. The current drought event occurring in South Korea was investigated with dividing South Korea into four basins as Han River, Nakdong River, Geum River, and Nakdong River basins. The results showed that two middle and north basins presented significant drought events with 3 year drought duration and around 40 year return period while the other two southern regions illustrated relatively weaker drought events.
