Korea Water Resources Corporation(KOWACO) has developed the Integrated Real-time Water Management System(IRWMS) that calculates monthly optimal ending target storages by using Sampling Stochastic Dynamic Programming(SSDP) with Ensemble Streamflow Prediction(ESP) running on the $1^{st}$ day of each month. This system, however, has a shortcoming: it cannot reflect the hydrolmeteorologic variations in the middle of the month. To overcome this drawback, in this study updated ESP forecasts three times each month by using the observed precipitation series from the $1^{st}$ day of the month to the forecast day and the historical precipitation ensemble for the remaining days. The improved accuracy and its effect on the reservoir operations were quantified as a result. SSDP/ESP21 that reflects within-a-month hydrolmeteorologic states saves $1\;X\;10^6\;m^3$ in water shortage on average than SSDP/ESP01. In addition, the simulation result demonstrated that the effect of ESP accuracy on the reduction of water shortage became more important when the total runoff was low during the drawdown period.

Since the self-purification capacity of rivers in Korea is significantly controlled by environmental maintenance flow supplied by upstream reservoirs during drought season, it is obviously important to operate the river and reservoir systems considering not only water quantity aspect but also conservation of downstream water quality and ecosystem. In this study, an unsteady river water quality model KORIVl- WIN was developed as a tool for evaluating the impact. of reservoir operations on the downstream water quality. The model parameters were calibrated and verified using field data obtained in Geum River on September and October of 2002, respectively. Intensive data sampling was performed on November 22, 2003 to investigate the effect of a short-term flushing discharge of Daecheong Reservoir, which increased outflow from 30 $m^3$/s to 200 $m^3$/s for 6 hours, on downstream water quality. The model performance was evaluated by comparing simulated results with observed data including hydraulics, biochemical oxygen demand(BOD$_{5}$), nitrogen and phosphorus species during the flushing event. It showed very good performance in predicting the travel time of flushing flow and water quality variations of dissolved forms of nitrogen and phosphorus species, while revealed large deviations for BOD$_{5}$ possibly due to missing the effect of organic matters resuspension from river bottom sediment during the wave front passage.

기후변화 가속화와 국민의 높아진 서비스 요구 수준에 따라 농업용수의 관리방식을 현장인력의 경험적 물관리 방식에서 계측정보 기반의 과락적 물관리 방식으로 전환의 필요성이 대두되어, 2001년부터 농업기반시설 내 무인계측, 원격제어 기능이 탑재된 물관리자동화 시스템을 보급하는 농업용수관리자동화사업을 시행하였다. 농업용수관리자동화사업은 사업시행 초기 연구 결과, 농업기반시설 무인계측 및 원격제어 시스템 보급으로 인력에 의한 관행적 물관리 대비 수리시설의 관리 효율성이 크게 향상되어 유지관리 인력의 절감 및 용수수급의 적정성이 개선될 것으로 분석되었다. 하지만 영농환경의 변화에 따라, 당초 분석결과와 달리 자동화사업 추진과 한국농어촌공사의 유지관리 인력 규모 간 뚜렷한 상관성이 보이지 않는다는 정책기관의 지적이 발생하고 있다. 현재 4차산업기술이 산업 전 분야에 걸쳐 일어나고 있으며 농업분야에도 ICT, LOT, 빅데이터 기술이 도입되어 새로운 가치를 창출하고 있다. 농업용수관리 분야에 있어서는 데이터를 활요한 수요자 중심의 지능형 물관리 사업이 추진되고 있으며, 일정규모 이상 저수지 및 양수장 농업용수 공급량 측정 계측기의 설치가 추진중에 있다. 그러나 현재까지 이러한 설치된 계측장치들의 활용방안에 대해서는 뚜렷한 결과가 도축된 바 없으며, 현재 많은 예산과 인력이 투입되어 설치·운영되고 있는 계측장치들의 활용 방안에 대해서 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 2018년 2,228개 농업기반시설물에 자동화시스템을 설치 완료 하였으나, 각종 장비의 비표준화, 효과대비 고비용, 잦은 통신두절 등의 기술적 문제로 인해 현업부서의 수자원관리 업무에서 자동화시스템의 활용성이 저조한 것으로 관측됐다. 본연구에서는 국내 수자원 계측제어 기술 동향 및 운영환경 조사 결과를 기초로, 기술적 측면의 농업용수관리자동화사업의 개선사항과 4차 산업기술의 농업용수관리자동화사업의 적용방안을 제시 하여 농업용수관리자동화사업 중장기 계획 개정등 향후 정챡수립시 참고 자료로의 활용과 농업용수 효율적 활용과 관리를 위한 TM/TC 미래추진 방안을 제시로 정확하고 신뢰도 높은 농업용수 관리 체계를 구축 하고자 한다.

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.

Identifying the available water resources amount is an essential process in establishing a sustainable water resources management plan. Dam facility is a major infrastructure storing and supplying water during the dry season, and the water supply yield of the dam varies depending on dam inflow conditions or operation rule. In South Korea, water supply yield of dam is calculated by reservoir simulation based on observed historical dam inflow data. However, the water supply capacity of a dam can be underestimated or overestimated depending on the existence of historical drought events during the simulation period. In this study, probabilistic inflow data was generated and used to estimate the appropriate range of the water supply yield of hydropower dams. That is, a method for estimating the probabilistic dam inflow that fluctuates according to climatic and socio-economic conditions and the range of water supply yield for hydropower dams was presented, and applied to hydropower dams located in the Han river in South Korea. It is expected that the understanding water supply yield of the hydropower dams will become more important to respond to climate change in the future, and this study will contribute to national water resources management planning by providing potential range of water supply yield of hydropower dams.

Recently, water shortages have occurred due to climate change, and the need for water management of agricultural water has increased due to the occurrence of algal blooms in reservoirs. Existing algae prevention is operated by putting many people on site and misses the optimal spraying time due to movement through boats. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to block contamination in advance and move within time to uniformly spray complex microorganisms uniformly. Control drones are used for pesticide spraying and can be applied to algae prevention work by utilizing control drones. In this paper, basic research for the establishment of a marine control system was conducted for application to the reservoir environment, and as one of the results, the characteristics of a drone nozzle, a core technology that can be used for control drones, were calculated. In particular, it was found that the existing agricultural control drones had a disadvantage that the concentration was non-uniform within the suggested spraying interval, and to compensate for this, nozzle positioning and nozzle spraying uniformity were calculated. Based on the experimental results, we develop a core algorithm for establishing an algal bloom monitoring system in the reservoir environment and propose a precision control technology that can be used for marine control work in the future.

In this study, for the purpose of water supply planning, we propose a sophisticated multi-period mixed integer programming model that can coordinate the behavior of multi-reservoir operation, minimizing unnecessary spill. It can simulate the system with operating rules which are self- generated by the optimization engine in the algorithm. It is an optimization model in structure, but it indeed simulates the coordinating behavior of multi-reservoir operation. It minimizes the water shortfalls in demand requirements, maintaining flood reserve volume, minimizing unnecessary spill, maximizing hydropower generation release, keeping water storage levels high for efficient hydroelectric turbine operation. This optimization model is a large scale mixed integer programming problem that consists of 3.920 integer variables and 68.658 by 132.384 node-arc incidence matrix for 28 years of data. In order to handle the enormous amount of data generated by a big mathematical model, the utilization of DBMS (data base management system)seems to be inevitable. It has been tested with the Han River multi-reservoir system in Korea, which consists of 2 large multipurpose dams and 3 hydroelectric dams. We demonstrated successfully that there is a good chance of saving substantial amount of water should it be put to use in real time with a good inflow forecasting system.
