In order to identify the cause of ground water drawdown of a piezometer installed around the LPG storage cavern, parameter estimations were conducted by inverse and forward numerical models. An inverse model, SK-EST developed by SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd.(SKEC,1997) was performed to estimate the change of the hydraulic conductivity. It was verified by the commercial forward model, AQUA3D (VATNASKIL,1995). The simulation results showed that the hydraulic diffusivity of the rock mass between the piezometer and the cavern had been increased and the change rate of the hydraulic head had been abruptly increased in response to the change of the operation pressure. Finally the statistical analysis for observed data showed the increase of the change rate of the hydraulic head and thus proved the applicability of SK-EST.

This study performs to evaluate the role of filter material at alluvial well for intake of riverbank filtration and the applicability and improvement effect of dual filter well. To achieve this objective, dual filter intake well and single filter intake well were installed with different filter conditions at riverbank free surface aquifer in soil layer then we evaluated filter material condition, permeability, optimum yield and well efficiency according to yield in drawdown test. As a results, we assumed forming dual filter layer minimizes sudden speed changes at boundary between aquifer and filter layer by cushioning of groundwater flow. This suppresses warm current then intake groundwater efficiently, therefore it seems decreasing peripheral groundwater level changes in spite of higher intake water amount than single filter intake well. Furthermore, we confirmed by test, installing dual filter improves permeability, optimum yield and well efficiency. The result will be used by combining with former study to set up standard of design/construction of dual filter intake well at alluvial aquifer layer. Furthermore, we expect this result will be used to prove application effect of dual filter intake well compared to single filter one and radial collector well which are mainly applied on riverbank filtration.

InSAR (Interferometry SAR) technique is a technique that uses complex data to obtain phase difference information from two or more SAR image data, and enables high-resolution image extraction, surface change detection, elevation measurement, and glacial change observation. In many countries, research on the InSAR technique is being conducted in various fields of study such as volcanic activity detection, glacier observation in Antarctica, and ground subsidence analysis. In this study, a case of large ground settlement due to groundwater level drawdown during tunnelling was introduced, and ground settlement analyses using InSAR technique and numerical analysis method were compared. The maximum settlement and influence radius estimated by the InSAR technique and numerical method were found to be quite similar, which confirms the reliability of the InSAR technique. Through this case study, it was found that the InSAR technique reliable to use for estimating ground settlement and can be used as a key technology to identify the long-term ground settlement history in the absence of measurement data.

최근 발생하는 태풍 또는 국지성호우는 단기간에 많은 양의 강우를 동반하고 있으며, 이로인한 내수침수 및 외수범람 피해가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이와 같은 홍수피해를 저감하기 위한 하나의 대책으로 내수 또는 외수로 인한 피해를 미리 예측하고 대비하는 방법이 필요하다. 피해를 미리 예측하기 위한 기존의 모델들은 지표유출, 지하유출, 침투, 증발산 등 다양한 강우-유출 알고리즘에 의해 홍수범람모의를 분석하게 된다. 따라서 그 모의시간이 길게 나타나 재난상황을 대처하는 데 문제가 있다. 본 연구에서는 홍수로 인한 제내지의 침수 확산 경로 빠른 시간 안에 모의하기 위하여 여러 가지 알고리즘을 단순화시킨 홍수범람 모형을 개발하였다. 개발된 분포형 홍수범람 모형인 SIMOD(Simplified Inundation MODel)는 홍수가 발생된 시점에서 그리드화된 주변셀로의 홍수전의를 위하여 주변셀과의 경사를 이용하여 차등 분배하는 다중흐름방향법(Multi Direction Method, MDM)과, 하나의 낮은 고도의 셀에서 수위가 높아져 인접셀보다 수위가 증가하면 그 수위는 인접 셀들과 균등해 진다는 가정인 평수가정법(Flat-Water Assumption, FWA)인 두 가지 알고리즘을 이용한다. 개발된 모형의 적합성을 확인하기 위하여 상용 모형인 FLO-2D를 이용하여 각 모의시간별 침수면적과 모형의 구동시간을 비교하였다. 비교결과 초기 1시간을 제외하고 홍수피해 면적이 10% 전후로 나타나 SIMOD의 적용성이 확인되었다. 모의 구동시간의 경우 32시간 모의시 SIMOD는 10분 안에 결과가 나오는 반면 FLO-2D는 1시간 이상 소요되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 대피계획을 수립하기 위하여 제방붕괴시나리오를 이용한 제내지 침수모의를 실시하였다. 대상지역은 금호강하류 성서산업단지 유역으로 계획홍수위는 200년 빈도 홍수위를 기준으로 하였으며 폭 35m, 높이 7m의 제방파제로 인한 외수위 유입을 가정하여 제내지의 시간별 침수면적 모의하였다. 모의된 결과를 이용하여 시간대별 대피경로를 산정함으로써 홍수로 인한 대피 계획 수립에 적용 가능함을 확인하였다.

This study aims to establish the methodology for design of an optimum water curtain system of the unlined underground oil storage cavern satisfying the requirements of hydrodynamic performance in a volcanic terrain of the south coastal area. For the optimum water curtain system in the storage facility, the general characteristics of groundwater flow system in the site are quantitatively described, i.e. distribution of hydraulic gradients, groundwater inflow rate into the storage caverns, and hydrogeologic influence area of the cavern. In this study, numerical models such as MODFLOW, FracMan/MAFIC and CONNECTFLOW are used for calculating the hydrogeological stability parameters. The design of a horizontal water curtain system requires considering the distance between water curtain and storage cavern, spacing of the water curtain boreholes, and injection pressure. From the numerical simulations at different scales, the optimum water curtain systems satisfying the containment criteria are obtained. The inflow rates into storage caverns estimated by a continuum model ranged from about 120 m$^3$/day during the operation stage to 130~140m$^3$/day during the construction stage, whereas the inflow rates by a fracture network model are 80~175m$^3$/day. The excavation works in the site will generate the excessive decline of groundwater level in a main fracture zone adjacent to the cavern. Therefore, the vertical water curtain system is necessary for sustaining the safe groundwater level in the fracture zone.

Seoul subway system has been constructed to solve traffic difficulties of Seoul metropolitan, and now is the major public transportation. However, the more line has added in the system the deeper the bottom of the tunnel base. And a huge amount of groundwater along the line has seeping into the tunnel. Several subway stations has pumping system to extract the groundwater to the outside and consequently, groundwater table along the line has declined gradually. Groundwater table has dropped about 40 meters at some areas, There was some study for the proper usage of the abstracted groundwater and the project to use the groundwater has launched already by the local government. However. more serious problem is expected on quality degradation of soil and groundwater as the decline of groundwater table along the subway line. This study suggests that the detailed groundwater environmental study should be made as soon as possible for this. If there is any pollution leaking at the surface area of the groundwater depression, the pollution will be seep into the subway tunnel in some day even though the time will be different with the soil material and hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer. And the polluted area of the soil and groundwater would be enlarged along the pathway The study on possibility of the soil subsidence and reducing surface water flow in small creek were also needed. This study suggest one of the counter measurement that restoring the declined groundwater table after groundwater environmental study

River bank filtration techniques seek to improve river water quality via natural processes occurring when river water is induced to a river bank. When water is pumped from multiple wells, phenomenon known as well interference affect pumping rates. Pumping wells of a bank filtration facility are connected by pipelines. In theses cases well interference is caused not only by groundwater drawdown but also by pipe headloss which depend on flow rates. In this work a comprehensive analytical method which handles groundwater flow and pipe flow is used to evaluate interferences and ratios of river water in pumping wells. A realistic case was used as an example.

This study aimed to determine the extent of artificial aquifer recharge and to evaluate appropriate recharge techniques based on field investigations and comparative analysis of each recharge method. Characteristics of the aquifer determine the target aquifer and the recharge method for artificial groundwater recharge. Electrical conductivity surveys, drilling, permeability tests, and grain-size analysis indicate that the hydraulic conductivity of weathered soil and weathered rock is higher than that of upper unconsolidated soil. Pumping tests indicate that the groundwater level was stable at a depth of 12 m until 9 hours of pumping, but after that it dropped again, indicating anisotropic aquifer characteristics. Three types of artificial recharge method were reviewed, including recharge wells, ditches, and ponds, and a combination of two methods is proposed: a recharge well system directly injecting into weathered soil and rock sections with good permeability, and an injection ditch that can increase the recharge effect by line-type injection in the upstream area. The extent of groundwater recharge by the selected methods will be evaluated through on-site tests and if their applicability is verified, they will contribute to securing water in areas of water shortage.

Based on the site characterization works in a low and intermediate level waste(LILW) repository site, the numerical simulations for groundwater flow were carried out in order to understand the groundwater flow system of repository site. To accomplish the groundwater flow modeling in the repository site, the discrete fracture network(DFN) model was constructed using the characteristics of fracture zones and background fractures. At result, the total 10 different hydraulic conductivity(K) fields were obtained from DFN model stochastically and K distributions of constructed mesh were inputted into the 10 cases of groundwater flow simulations in FEFLOW. From the total 10 numerical simulation results, the simulated groundwater levels were strongly governed by topography and the groundwater fluxes were governed by locally existed high permeable fracture zones in repository depth. Especially, the groundwater table was predicted to have several tens meters below the groundwater table compared with the undisturbed condition around disposal silo after construction of underground facilities. After closure of disposal facilities, the groundwater level would be almost recovered within 1 year and have a tendency to keep a steady state of groundwater level in 2 year.

해수침투는 대수층의 염분 농도를 증가시켜 지하수 염분화에 의한 용수의 부족 등을 야기시키며 다른 지하수 오염과 마찬가지로 회복에 대한 막대한 비용과 시간이 소모되어 피해지역에 대한 정확한 현황파악이 어려워 피해방지대책의 수립이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 흐름과 이송을 모의할 수 있는 GMS-FEMWATER 모델을 이용하여 대상지역의 지층구조를 구분하고 실제 대상지역의 지층과 동일하게 모델링하여 해안지역의 해수침투에 대한 특성을 규명하였다. 분석결과 양수기간이 길어 질수록 지하수두강하 폭이 양수기간 30일, 60일, 90일 및 180일 경과 시 초기 수위에서 점차 4.25m (1.36%), 3.5m (1.13%), 2.96m (0.97%), 1.97m (0.65%)으로 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 양수량이 많은 관정일수록 해수 침투가 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 양수기간 30일 0.59mg/l, 채수 60일 1.65mg/l, 채수 90일 3.14mg/l, 180일 5.55mg/l으로 분석되었다. 이결과로 볼 때 양수기간 초기에서 기간이 지날 수록 해수침투가 큰영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.
