To reinterpret the meaning of fluvial terraces in the Quaternary researches, the concepts and geomorphic properties of fluvial terraces are reviewed. Fluvial terraces are the alluvial landform that was once river channel or floodplain by paleochannel flowed in elevated areas from the current river by active incision of rivers due to the climatic changes and/or uplifts. As fluvial terraces are the remnants of alluviums after incisions of rivers, the major factors influencing on the incisions are the falling of erosion base, increase of river discharge and distinct geomorphic phenomenon of river. While it is generally known that fluvial terraces deposits in the upper or middle reaches of large rivers were formed during glacial periods, the deposits may be formed at the various periods due to the diverse natural environments and geomorphic properties of specific rivers, because there have been numerous cases that the ages of fluvial terraces in the upper or middle reaches of large rivers in Korea and China can be correlated to the interglacial periods.

Amount of coastal ground water discharge(CGD) of surficial aquifer via coastlines of Nakdong River watershed, Seomjin River watershed, Youngsan River watershed and Keum River watershed is estimated. Compared to other major hydrological components, such as evapo-transpiration and river discharge, CGD is not so large in the amount. However, it is important since coastal ground water can be developed relatively free of environmental impact on downstream area and since most of coastal areas currently suffers water shortage. Regional groundwater investigation data and assessment based on Darcy's law are used for estimating coastal groundwater discharge. In this work the amount of CGD across the coastlines of the four rivers is estimated as 1.8 billion cubic meter per year and that is about 2.3 percentage of total amount of annual precipitation. Nakdong River watershed is most appropriate region in view of developing groundwater.

기후변화로 인한 수문사상의 특성이 급격하게 변동되는 것은 이미 많은 연구로 인해 밝혀졌다. 이중, 강우사상의 경우 연강우량의 증가에도 불구하고, 일최대강우량 또는 강우강도나 강우집중률이 비교적 더 크게 증가하면서 직접유출 부분이 증가하고 침투량이 감소하면서, 즉 총강우의 유역출구로 나가는 부분이 증가하면서, 갈수기의 지하 및 하천수위는 예년에 비해 더욱 하강하고 있는 실정이 국가지하수관측망이나 하천수위 자료로서 관측되고 있다. 이는 지하수위의 변동특성이 강우패턴의 변화로 인해 분명히 영향을 받고 있다는 사실을 자료로서 입증하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 국가지하수 관측망 중 낙동강유역에 위치한 관측소를 대상으로 관측자료를 검토한 결과 총 43개의 관측소를 선정하여 암반층 36개, 충적층 19개로 관측정별 자료 수집을 하였으며, 연최대, 연평균, 연최저 지하수위에 대한 경향성 및 유의성 검정을 실시하였다. 유의성 검정은 t-test를 실시하였다. 연 평균지하수위를 기준으로 암반층은 27개 관측소가 하강하였고, 이 중 유의수준 5% 이내에 유의하며 하강하는 지점은 9개로 나타났다. 충적층은 16개 관측소가 하강하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 이 중 12개 관측소가 유의수준 5% 이내에 유의하는 것으로 나타났다. 지하수위의 하강하는 경향성이 뚜렷한 지역은 지하수의 고갈과 함께 인근하천의 건천화 그리고 지반침하나 해안지방인 경우는 염수침입이 일어날 가능성이 큰 지역이므로 향후 이에 대한 대책이 세워져야 할 것이다.

Channel form discharge which determines shape and character of a channel is named as dominant discharge. Assuming that fixed discharge flows in the fluvial plain for a long time, it is channel form discharge of a certain channel if it changes the fluvial plain into shape of the channel. Channel form discharge can be demonstrated by concept of bankfull or effective discharge. 1.01, 1.58, 2, 2.33 and 5 year flood discharge were used in order to determine channel form discharge. Each frequency discharge was determined by 80 year flood discharge by a research result conducted by Kim and Won. 1.01 year frequency discharge was selected as the most similar discharge to bankfull discharge. 1.58 year frequency discharge habitually used in Korea exceeded bankfull discharge.

Under natural conditions, rivers do not in general take straight courses but instead take winding courses. This is known as meandering of rivers. Meandering of rivers are so complicated because of the mutual interactions between flow and movable boundaries. In quantitative information, it is important to predict the future location of a river channel(channel migration) because in selecting a bridge site or a location of a road. It may be valuable to know the future impact of a nearby river on those structures. When the prediction model of the migration of channel is used in domestic rivers with high coefficient of river regime, it is rational to use the periodical dominant discharge (PDD), which is named firstly by the author, instead of the average discharge. According to the analysis of the erosion coefficient, the mean deviation on the channel migration, and the bed scour factor, it can bring shedding light on the fact that the discharge is one of the dominant components in channel migration. In project area, the discharge that can shift the channel is slightly greater than 6,000CMS. The prediction model of the migration of channel estimated the erosion coefficient, $E_0$ by the data from the South Han River. This estimated value from the South Han River was also used to predict the migration of the South Han River in year 2000.

This studied area is divided into the mountains and the valleys. The former is nearly consisted of the badland, the latter is consisted of alluvial plains in the valley, fluvial terrace at the side of the river, alluvial fans between mountains and river terrace. There are many tors, mushroom rocks, sugarloaves, weathering pits, castle coppies, columnar rocks, pinnacles, balanced rocks carved on tuff by means of erosion in the Chiricahua Nat'l Monument. Willcox Playa is alkalic crust where was lake in pleistocene epoch at the time wetter than present. Alkalic crust was made of Ca, Na, K etc. There are sand dunes around here where was lake side in the past. We found many kinds of fossils at the 2,000ft thick horizons of valley alluvium. Pediment and alluvium bordered at the base of Mt. Dragoon wavily. Exfoliation and spalling and sheeting resulted in boulders around here. Tucson is alluvial plain filled in thick 7,0000ft valley. Volcano, fault, erosion, alluvium were and are processing in this area.

The alluvial aquifer, widely developed near the four major rivers such as Nakdong River, can be used effectively for groundwater artificial recharge and is expected to be the future water resources in Korea. This study is aimed at examining the impact of repeatedly injected river water into the riverside alluvial aquifer on injection rate or efficiency in its system at Changweon area. For this, injection tests were performed two times, first on June 19 and second on September 25 through October 9, 2013, and the mixing ratios of river water to groundwater were used as the tool to compare the efficiency of injection. The mixing ratios were evaluated by using electrical conductivities of injected river water (average $EC=303{\mu}S/cm$) and groundwater ($EC{\fallingdotseq}6,000{\mu}S/cm$) measured at 20 m depth of four observation wells installed 10 m apart from each injection well. The result shows the remarkable differences on two respects. First, in some observation well, detection time for incipient injection effect during $2^{nd}$ injection test was shown to be much slower than that of $1^{st}$ injection test. Second, the hourly increasing rate of mixing ratios in $2^{nd}$ test was revealed to be reduced much more than that of $1^{st}$ test. This means that the efficiency of injection was badly deteriorated by only 1,210 minute injection work. Therefore, injection water needs to be adequately treated beforehand and repeated pumping work and/or resting phase is needed afterwards. To a certain extent, the improvement of water quality in saline aquifer was verified in this system by injection tests.

One of the characteristics of fluvial river channel with sand bed-material is the existence of movable sand bars not occupied with vegetation. However, sand bars at the Hahoe's reach of the Nakdong River showing a double-meandering channel has been changed into expanding vegetation area. Moreover, sand material, in recent years, has stopped moving to downstream in channel and the number and area of bare bars which did not occupied by vegetation have been decreased. In order to find out the mechanism, we carried out the channel characteristics surveys such as hydro-geomorphologic, soil physio-chemical and vegetation surveys were conducted twice on autumn season in 2005,2006. The results so far achieved showed that the reduced discharge of transported sediment and duration of dry season might be critical factors for the spread of luxuriant vegetation. The vegetation area was significantly expanded by floods exceeding the subsequent dominant flow discharge. Furthermore, the expansion of vegetation area was highly correlated with the supply of organic matter, nutrients and alteration of soil texture by sediment deposition during the flooding event.
