Most natural disasters in Korea are caused by meteorological natural phenomena, which include storms, heavy rains, heavy snow, hail, tidal waves, and earthquakes. Rainfall is the most frequent cause of disasters and accounts for about 80% of all disasters. Particularly in recent years, Korea has seen annual occurrences of natural disasters associated with landslides (slope and retaining wall collapse and burying) due to meteorological causes from the increasing intensity of heavy rains including local heavy rainfalls. In Korea, it is critical to analyze the characteristics of landslides according to rainfall characteristics and to take necessary and proper measures for them. This study assessed the possibility of landslides in the Gangwon region with a geographic information system by taking into account the inducer factors of landslides and the maximum continuous rainfall of each area. It also analyzed areas susceptible to landslides and checked the distribution of landslide-prone areas by considering the rainfall characteristics of those areas.

최근 우리나라는 기후변화에 따른 태풍발생빈도 증가 및 이상강우, 유역내 토지이용의 고도화로 인한 유역특성 변화로 유역내 홍수량은 증가하고 홍수 도달시간이 짧아지는 양상을 보이고 있다. 이로 인해 홍수에 따른 치수방어 대책으로 하천의 제방축조 및 보강방법이 주로 채택되었으나, 최근에는 홍수시 직접적인 하천내 수위 저감을 위한 방안으로 하도내 저류효과를 확대하기 위한 보 설치 및 하도정비를 통한 하도준설을 시행하고 있다. 그러나 본류 하상저하에 따른 지류하천의 하상변동(두부침식)으로 하도내 세굴 침식에 의한 하천시설물 피해 사례가 늘게 되면서 과거 홍수에 의한 제방월류 피해에서 하상변동에 의한 하천시설물 붕괴로 하천피해 양상이 바뀌게 되었다. 이와 같은 피해를 방지하기 위해 지류하천 합류부에 하상변동 방지책으로 하상유지공을 설치하고 있지만 국내에는 이와 관련된 구체적 설계기준 및 연구가 미비하여 일선에서는 아직도 하천구조물의 용도가 다른 보나 낙차공의 설계기준을 준용하는 등 하상유지공 용도에 특성화된 설계기준(최적 위치선정 및 형식 등)이 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 감천(낙동강 지류하천)유역내 하도준설 및 홍수로 인한 하상유지공의 유실에 따른 지류하천의 피해사례를 통해 수치해석결과 및 실측자료를 바탕으로 하상유지공 계획의 중요성을 검증하고자 하였다. 또한 하도준설로 생성된 지류합류부의 단차구간에 안정성을 확보한 최적의 하상유지공 위치 및 형식 등을 선정 검토하고 설치 유 무에 따른 유수흐름 및 하상변화양상을 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 향후 하도굴착 및 하상유지공 계획시 고려해야할 사항(지형현황 및 수리특성 등)을 인지하고 극한상황에서도 안전한 하상유지공의 위치 및 형식 등을 선정하는데 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently, the occurrence of typhoons and heavy rainfall is increasing due to climate change. This causes increase in possibility of landslide damages in rural areas. However, in reality, the precise engineering stability assessment studies are still insufficient. Therefore, in order to reduce the landslide damages and effectively manage mountainous areas, the development of disaster prevention techniques is needed. In this study, to analyze the shock absorbing effect of the buffer-spring during application of dynamic impact load in the debris flow protection system, numerical analysis is carried out for each free field of the buffer-spring and the load sharing ratio of the buffer-spring is also examined. In addition, the field applicability is verified by comparison of the tensile strength of the conventional buffer-spring and the wedge type buffer-spring on various magnitudes of dynamic impact load. As a result of the study, it is found that the net-type debris protection system is effective to mitigate loss of properties and human lifes during landslide.

In every summer season, most of the slope failures and debris flows occurr due to seasonal rain, typhoon, and localized extreme rainfall in Gangwon Province where 83% of the area is of mountain region. To investigate the slope-hazard triggering rainfall characteristics in Gangwon Province, slope hazard data, precipitation records, and forest fire data were collected and the DATABASE was constructed. Analysis results based on the DATABASE showed that many slope hazards occurred when there was little rainfall and the preceding rainfall had more effect on the slope hazard than the rainfall intensity at the day of hazard. It also showed that the burned area by forest fire was highly susceptible to slope hazard with low rainfall intensity, and the slope hazard in burned area showed highest frequency, especially, under the rainfall below 2-year return period.

최근 전세계적으로 발생하고 있는 기후변화로 인해 가뭄, 홍수, 태풍 등 자연재해의 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 특히, 강수량의 변동성이 커지면서 가뭄과 홍수가 단기간에 번갈아 가며 발생하는 경우가 자주 발생하고 있다. 가뭄과 홍수가 짧은 기간 동안에 교차해서 발생하는 급변사상은 예측하기 어려우며, 갑작스럽게 중첩되는 재난으로 인명과 재산피해 뿐 아니라 생태계에까지 심각한 영향을 미칠 것이다. 본 연구에서는 일 강수량 자료를 바탕으로 표준가중평균강수지수(Standard Weighted Average Precipitation, SWAP)를 산정하고 한강 유역의 가뭄-홍수 급변사상에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 1966년부터 2018년까지의 한강유역 중권역별 면적평균강수량과 가중치, 이전 강수량의 영향을 받는 일수를 바탕으로 SWAP를 산정하였다. SWAP 지수가 10일 연속 -1 미만일 때를 가뭄이라 정의하고, 이후 SWAP 지수가 7일 연속 0.5 이상이면 가뭄사상이 종료된다고 판정하였다. 또한 SWAP 지수가 10일 연속 +1 초과일 때를 홍수라고 정의하고, SWAP 지수가 7일 연속 -0.5 이하가 되면 홍수사상이 종료된다고 판정하였다. 가뭄-홍수 급변사상이란 가뭄의 종료시점과 홍수의 시작시점의 차이가 5일 이내일 경우에 해당한다. 급변사상의 전·후로 강수량이 얼마나 급격하게 차이 나는지를 판단하기 위하여 급변 시점 전·후 5일의 누적 SWAP 지수인 심각도 K(Severity)를 분석지표로 활용하였다. K를 통해 한강유역 가뭄-홍수 급변사상의 시·공간적 분포를 분석하고 미래의 급변사상의 발생가능성을 예측할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과, 한강 유역의 24개 중권역 중에서 18개의 중권역이 가뭄-홍수 급변사상의 심각도가 점점 상승하는 추세이고, 가장 심각도 상승폭이 높은 중권역은 홍천강(1014)으로 첫 사상인 1967년부터부터 2015년의 마지막 사상까지 약 55% 정도 상승하였다.

A calibrated hydrological model is a useful tool for quantifying the impacts of the climate variations and land use/land cover changes on sediment load, water quality and runoff. In the rainy season each year, the Xe Bang Fai river basin is provisionally flooded because of typhoons, the frequency and intensity of which are sensitive to ongoing climate change. Severe heavy rainfall has continuously occurred in this basin area, often causing severe floods at downstream of the Xe Bang Fai river basin. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the climate change impact on river discharge using a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model based on future climate change scenarios. In this study, the simulation of hydrological river discharge is used by SWAT model, covering a total area of $10,064km^2$ in the central part of country. The hydrological model (baseline) is calibrated and validated for two periods: 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, respectively. The monthly simulation outcomes during the calibration and validation model are good results with $R^2$ > 0.9 and ENS > 0.9. Because of ongoing climate change, three climate models (IPSL CM5A-MR 2030, GISS E2-R-CC 2030 and GFDL CM3 2030) indicate that the rainfall in this area is likely to increase up to 10% during the summer monsoon season in the near future, year 2030. As a result of these precipitation increases, the SWAT model predicts rainy season (Jul-Aug-Sep) river discharge at the Xebangfai@bridge station will be about $800m^3/s$ larger than the present. This calibrated model is expected to contribute for preventing flood disaster risk and sustainable development of Laos

In recent years, the frequency of heavy rainfall associated with high rainfall intensity has been continuously increasing due to the effects of climate change; and thus also causes an increase in watershed soil erosion. The existing estimation techniques, used for the prediction of soil erosion in Korea have limitations in predicting the: average soil erosion in watersheds, and the soil erosion associated with abnormal short-term rainfall events. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of torrential rainfall, and utilize physics-based model to accurately determine the soil erosion characteristics of a watershed. In this study, the rainfall kinetic energy equation, in the form of power function, is proposed by applying the probability density function, to analyze the rainfall particle distribution. The distributed rainfall-erosion model, which utilizes the proposed rainfall kinetic energy equation, was utilized in this study to determine the soil erosion associated with various typhoon events that occurred at Cheoncheon watershed. As a result, the model efficiency parameters of the model for NSE and RMSE are 0.036 and 4.995 ppm, respectively. Therefore, the suggested soil erosion model, coupled with the proposed rainfall-energy estimation, shows accurate results in predicting soil erosion in a watershed due to short-term rainfall events.

Today, the most important factor affecting the quality of human life is thought to be due to the environment. The importance of environmental monitoring systems to improve human life and improve welfare as the magnitude of the damage increases year by year due to the rapid increase in the frequency of hail, typhoons, collapse of incisions, landslides, etc. Is increasing day by day. Among environmental problems, problems caused by water quality have a very high proportion, and as there is a growing concern that the scale of damage will increase when water pollution accidents occur due to urbanization and industrialization, the demand for social water safety nets is increasing. have. In the last 5 years, 259 cases of water pollution (Han River 99, Nakdong River 31, Geum River 25, Seomjin River and Yeongsan River 19, and 85 others) have occurred in the four major river basins. Caused damage. Therefore, it is required to establish a water quality environment management strategy system based on big data that can minimize the uncertainty of the water quality environment by expanding the target of water quality management from the current water quality management system centered on the four major rivers to small and medium-sized rivers, tributaries/branches, and reservoirs. In this paper, we intend to construct and analyze a water quality monitoring system based on big data that can present useful water quality environment information by analyzing the water quality information accumulated for a long time.

Due to heavy rainfall and typhoons caused by climate change, it has become common to witness heavy rain that exceeds the design frequency of agricultural reservoirs. This has brought greater attention to the safety of irrigation facilities including agricultural reservoirs. Out of approximately 17,740 reservoirs available in Korea, 83.87% were built before 1970. To ensure the safety of these old reservoirs, their embankments are being repaired and reinforced using various techniques. Among these techniques, using the cement-bentonite cutoff wall makes it possible to construct diaphragm walls with slurry composed of cement and bentonite, while excavation. The advantages of this technique include that it is simple and fast, and ensures the uniformity of cutoff walls by enabling the immediate application of the replacement method to excavation areas; thus excellent performance is guaranteed. However, despite these advantages, the technique is not commonly used in Korea. Thus, this study investigated the changes in strength and permeability by varying the mix ratio of cement and bentonite. As a major experimental results, when the cement of 200 kg/m³ and the bentonite of 60 to 80 kg/m³ is most suitable for the repair and reinforcement of the reservoir embankments.

Daecheong Reservoir has suffered eutrophication and water-blooms by blue-green algae from initial impoundment, and algae alert system (AAS) was introduced in 1997. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rainfall and hydrological factors in increase or decrease variability of green-tide and prolonged AAS, studied and analyzed the current situation of AAS has been operating for 19 years (1997~2015) in Daecheong Reservoir. The total issued number of AAS was 46 times, the most frequent period in August and September were 22 times (752 days) and 16 times (431 days), respectively, it accounted for 82.6%. Many number and frequency during this period were significantly associated with rainfall, various discharge and water level. Rainfall and hydrological events are associated with the rainy season of monsoon-Changma and the typhoon, it was concentrated in June~September, total rainfall in this period accounted for 69.9% of the annual rainfall. An increase in inflows was dependent on the intensity, frequency and the amount of rainfall. Accounted for 68.4% of the total annual inflow, it was a time when the most rapidly changing hydrological variability in the reservoir. The total outflow was closely related to rainfall, and compared the distinctive characteristics of hydropower generation and watergate-spillway discharge. In addition, the upreservoir zone of Daecheong Reservoir could be vulnerable to green-tide by regulating discharge of the upstream dam. The issue of AAS was strongly related to the with and without of watergate-spillway discharge. The watergate-spillway discharge had a total of 25 times, it was maximum 17 days from July to September in the year. And the opening times and each duration of the watergate were 1~4 times and the range of 3~37 days, respectively. When the watergate opened, the issue of AAS was maintained to 13 years and the movement of water bodies and green-tide was great about five times than that of non-open, had a profound effect on prolonged AAS within reservoir. In Daecheong Reservoir, Chusori (CHU) area of the So-ok Stream was still showing serious symptoms green-tide levels in the summer, but Janggye (JAN) waters of the main reservoir was pointed out that more important. AAS will be operated by an absolutely consider the rainfall and hydrological effects around the watergate-spillway discharge. The measures of green-tide will be included in the limnological studies more suited to the characteristics of the watershed and reservoir of the our country. Finally, from now on, we will prepare the systematic management and guidelines for vulnerable zone water-blooms that are the source within the reservoir before the monsoon rather than waiting for the arrival of green-tide on the operating stations of AAS.
