Groundwater flow simulations were performed to obtain data of groundwater flow used in a safety assessment for a hypothetical geological disposal facility assumed to be located in the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) site. A regional scale modeling of the groundwater flow system was carried out to make boundary conditions for a local scale modeling. And, fracture zones identified at the study site were involved in the local scale groundwater flow model. From the results of the local scale modeling, a hydraulic head distribution was indicated and it was used in a particle tracking simulation for searching pathway of groundwater from the location of the hypothetical disposal facility to the surface where the groundwater reached. The flow distance and discharge rate of the groundwater in the KURT site were calculated. It was thought that the modeling methods used in this study was available to prepare the data of groundwater flow in a safety assessment for a geological disposal facility of radioactive wastes.

도시지역은 수자원 공급의 문제를 해결하기 위해서 많은 노력이 이루어지고 있으나 최근 기상 이변과 같은 문제점들로 인하여 용수 공급이 안정적이지 못한 실정이다. 기후적 영향을 적게 받는 지하수의 경우는 비교적 지속적이고 안정적인 수자원으로 많이 이용되고 있으나 이 또한 관리적인 측면의 여러 가지 문제점으로 인하여 어려움을 겪고 있다. 특히 도시지역은 지하수이용량이 많아 지하수개발에 대한 명확한 체계가 이루어지지 않으면 과잉양수로 인한 지하수위 저하로 용수부족, 지하수질 악화 등과 같은 지하수 재해를 일으킬 수 있으며 해안지역일 경우 해수침투로 인하여 그 피해가 광범위하고 장기간으로 확산될 수 있다. 따라서 지하수의 개발 및 관리를 위해서는 지하수 유동에 대한 분석이 이루어져야 효율적인 지하수 이용이 가능하다. 도시지역 지하수 유동의 경우 지하수함양과 지하수유출뿐만 아니라 지속적으로 변화하는 요소들인 지하수이용량, 상하수도 누수량, 지하철로 인한 유출량 등과 같은 도시화 요소들도 고려하여야 한다. 그러나 이러한 요소들을 명확하게 규명하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 지하수자원의 개발 이용 및 관리가 가장 절실히 필요한 곳이 도시지역이라는 점을 감안하면 지하수 유동 분석에 관한 연구는 반드시 필요하며 수문계측 기술의 향상과 관련 분야에 대한 지속적인 연구들도 함께 이루어져서 해석의 정확도가 높아져야만 원활한 수자원 공급과 효율적인 체계 관리가 가능할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역의 지하수유동특성을 살펴보기 위하여 부산광역시 수영구를 대상으로 도시화 요소를 고려한 지하수 모델링을 통하여 지하수 유동을 분석하였다. 정상상태 지하수 유동 모의를 실시한 결과 지하수위는 산지가 분포하고 있는 북서쪽으로 갈수 록 높아지고 수영강과 남해쪽으로 갈수록 낮아지며 지하수 유동도 내륙에서 수영강 및 남해로 유출되고 있는 모습을 나타내었다. 도시화 요소를 고려한 비정상상태 지하수 유동 모의 결과 수영강 및 남해에서 내륙으로 지하수가 유입되는 형태를 나타내고 있었다. 지하수위 또한 내륙으로 갈수록 낮아지는 형상을 나타내고 있었으며 대량의 양수량의 관정이 위치하는 수영로타리 일대와 광안동 지역, 지하철유출량이 많은 망미역 부근, 전력구 터널 공사로 인한 지하수 유출량이 있는 일부지역에서는 급격하게 지하수위가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Based on the results of groundwater flow system modeling for a hypothetical deep geological repository site, quantitative and spatial distributions of groundwater flow rates at the positions of deposition holes, groundwater travel length and time from the positions to the surface environment were analyzed and used to suggest a method for determining locations of deposition holes. The hydraulic head values at the depth of the deposition holes and a particle tracking method were used to calculate the ground-water flow rates and groundwater travel length and time, respectively. From the results, an approach to designing a layout of deposition holes was suggested by selecting relatively favorable positions for maintaining performance of the disposal facility and screening some positions of deposition holes that did not comply with specific constraints for the groundwater flow rates, travel length and time. In addition, a method for determining a geometrical direction for extension of the disposal facility was discussed. Designing the layout of deposition holes with the information of groundwater flow at the disposal depth can contribute to secure performance and safety of the disposal facility.

There are three major processes to impact the groundwater flow near underground storage caverns in the coastal area; effect of topography, effect of sea water intrusion, and effect of excavation. In this paper, the effects of three items were numerically studied to identify the major cause for altering the flow pattern. It turned out that the excavation is the most significant effect on the groundwater flow system. The groundwater pressure distributions and consequent groundwater pathways were significantly altered near the openings. By increasing the groundwater pressures from water curtain holes, the potential leakage of storage cavern was properly prevented

The block-scale groundwater flow system at Olkiluoto site in Finland was simulated. The heterogeneous and anisotropic hydraulic conductivity field for the domain was constructed from the discrete fracture network, which considered only the fractured zones identified in the deep boreholes installed in the study site. The groundwater flow model was calibrated by adjusting the recharge rate and the transmissivities of the fractured zones to fit the calculated hydraulic heads and into- and out-flow rates in the observation intervals of the boreholes with the observed ones. In the calibrated model, the calculated flow rates at some intervals were not in accordance with the observed ones although the calculated hydraulic heads fit well with the observed ones, which revealed that the number of the conduits for groundwater flow is insufficient in the conceptual model for groundwater flow modeling. Therefore, it was recommended that the potential local conduits such as background fractures should be added to the present conceptual model.

Using results of groundwater flow system modeling for a hypothetical deep geological repository site, a distribution of groundwater flow rates at the disposal depth was analyzed and a method of applying this distribution to a safety assessment for a disposal of radioactive wastes was suggested. The distribution of groundwater flow rates was produced by hydraulic heads simulated from regional and local scale groundwater flow models for the hypothetical disposal site. The flow rates at the locations where deposition holes would be located were estimated. These rates were normalized by the maximum of the flow rates in order to probabilistically illustrate a possibility of canister failures at the deposition holes. From the normalized distribution, probabilistic expectations for mass discharges of radionuclides released from the canisters assumed to be failed were calculated and compared with those deterministically estimated under the assumption that the canisters at the same deposition holes were definitely failed. The suggested method can be contributed to constructing a methodology for safety assessment of a geological repository by reflecting natural conditions of a disposal site in more detail.

MODFLOW, 3-D finite difference code, is widely used to model groundwater flow and has been used to assess the effect of excavations on the groundwater system due to construction of subways and mountain tunnels. The results of numerical analysis depend on boundary conditions, initial conditions, conceptual models and hydrogeological properties. Therefore, its accuracy can only be enhanced using more realistic and field oriented input parameters. In this study, SA(simulated annealing) was used to integrate hydraulic conductivities from a few of injection tests with geophysical reference images. The realizations of hydraulic conductivity random field are obtained and then groundwater flows in each geostatistically equivalent media are analyzed with a numerical simulation. This approach can give probabilistic results of groundwater flow modeling considering the uncertainty of hydrogeological medium. In other words, this approach makes it possible to quantify the propagation of uncertainty of hydraulic conductivities into groundwater flow.

본 연구의 목적은 지표수-지하수 통합 모델을 통해 모델 영역과 시설농업단지(밀양들)의 지표수/지하수 유동을 모의하고 모델 영역의 물수지 분석을 통해 지하수 함양량을 산정하는 것이다. 지표수 유동 모델 결과에서는 밀양강 상류(북동쪽)에서 하류(남동쪽)로 약 1~5 m의 수심으로 지표수가 유동하고 있으며, 모델지역 상류의 M01 지점에서는 지표수 유량 관측값과 모델값이 일치하고, 모델지역 하류의 M02 지점에서의 지표수 유량은 1% 정도의 차이를 보인다. 지하수 유동 모델에서는 지하수 심도가 하천에서는 표고와 유사하며 산림 지역으로 갈수록 높아지고, 지하수 양수를 고려한 지하수 심도는 모델값이 관측값보다 1.5 m 이내의 범위로 높게 나타난다. 지표수지하수 통합모델에서는 지하수의 함양 면적이 모델 면적의 90% 정도이고, 지하수 함양량은 $1.92{\times}105m^3/day$인 것으로 나타난다. 연평균 물수지 분석에서는 단위 면적당 지하수 함양량이 503.9 mm/year로서 연평균 강우량의 39% 정도로 추정된다.
