Applicability of three soil erosion models for burnt hillslopes was evaluated. The models were estimated with the data from plots established after tremendous wildfire occurred in the east coastal region. Soil erosion and surface runoff were simulated by the Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) of application mode for disturbed forest areas and the Soil Erosion Model for Mountain Areas (SEMMA) developed for burnt hillslopes. Simulated sediment yield and surface runoff were compared with the measured those. In maximum value of sediment yield, three models was under-predicted and RUSLE and WEPP had difference of over two times. SEMMA showed the best model response coefficient, determination coefficient and the model efficiency. In application of models to the soil erosion according to the elapsed year after wildfire, all models were underestimated in initial stage disturbed by wildfire. Evaluation of models in this burnt hillslopes was shown the tends to under-predict soil erosion for larger measured values. Although a lot of sediment can be generated in small rainfall event as fine-grained soil of the high water repellency was exposed excessively right after wildfire, this under-prediction was shown that those models have a limit to estimate the weighted factors by wildfire.

Few studies have investigated soil management policy and soil erosion measurement, whereas the occurrence of climate change requires the establishment of robust soil management systems and appropriate control of soil erosion. In this study, we developed a smart sensor for real-time quantitative measurements of soil erosion at the watershed scale. The smart sensor consists of an ultrasonic sensor, a rainfall meter, a solar cell, an RTU (remote terminal unit),and a CDMA (code division multiple access) and it was programmed to take a measurement every 30 minutes. The depths measured by the smart sensor were compared with data from terrestrial LiDAR. Experimental results showed a strong correlation in the depth of soil erosion between LiDAR and the ultrasonic sensor for the period from 22 August to 11 October 2013. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient between soil erosion depth (mm) and soil erosion volume (m³) was 0.9063 in the lower region of the watershed and is 0.9868 in the upper region. The proposed ultrasonic sensor technique can provide high-quality data for soil conservation and management systems in the future.

유사량은 하천의 단면을 단위시간 동안 통과하는 토사의 양을 의미하며, 하천 구조물의 설계 및 유지관리를 위한 기본자료로 활용된다. 유사량은 하천 유역의 지형적인 특성과 기상요소에 영향을 받으며, 이를 규명하기 위한 많은 연구들이 수행되어 왔다. GIS기반의 유사량 예측모델로서 국내에서는 개정범용토양유실공식과 유사운송비(Sediment Delivery Ratio)를 이용하여 유역단위 유사량을 예측하는 연구가 이루어져왔다. Gavrilovi$\acute{c}$ 모델은 유역의 총 연유사량을 예측하고 토양침식의 정도를 정량화할 수 있는 경험적 모형으로 지질 및 토양, 지형조건, 기후인자(연평균 강우량, 연평균 온도), 토지이용의 6가지 입력변수로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구는 Gavrilovi$\acute{c}$ 모델의 국내 적용성을 검토하기 위한 것으로서, 왕숙천 유역을 대상으로 Gavrilovi$\acute{c}$ 모델을 적용하여 유사량을 산정해본 결과, 실측값을 약 20% 내외로 비교적 근사하게 추정할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

With climate change, debris flow has been increasing due to the collapse and erosion of shallow slopes caused by extreme rainfall. It is preferred to an economical and eco-friendly method rather than reinforcement of soil slopes with the earth anchor or nailing method. In this study, a soil improvement agent was developed by utilizing insitu soil, leaf mold, and used harbal medicine to help sufficient vegetation. In addition, to prevent surface erosion, shear strength of the soil was increased by using micro cement and hemihydrate gypsum as additives. The optimum mix ratio of the mixture is determined by increasing the shear strength by checking the erosion progress of the ground surface layer due to rainfall through an laboratory test. The safety factor of soil slope has been improved on the slope surface reinforced by the improvement agent, and the strength of erosion has been increased, making it efficient to cope with heavy rain during wet season.

Artificial disturbance in mountainous areas increases the sensitivity to erosion by exposure of the subsoil with a low loam ratio to the surface. In this study, rainfall simulations were conducted to evaluate the erodibility of sand and loamy sand in the interrill erosion by the rainfall-induced sheet flow. The mean diameters of sand and loamy sand used in the experiment were 0.936 mm and 0.611 mm, respectively, and the organic matter content was 2.0% and 4.2%, respectively. In the experimental plot, the runoff coefficient of overland flow increased 1.16 times in loamy sand rather than sand. Mean sediment yields of loamy sand and sand by sheet erosion were 3.71kg/m²/hr and 1.13kg/m²/hr respectively. The erodibility, the rate of soil erosion for rainfall erosivity factor, was 3.65 times greater in loamy sand than in sand. As the gradient of the steep slope increased from 24° to 28°, the sediment concentration and the erodibility for two soils increased by about 20%. The erodibility factor K of sandy soils for small plots was overestimated compared to the measured erodibility. This means that RUSLE can overestimate the sediment yields by sheet erosion on sandy soils.

Interrill erosion by the rainfall is divided into a detachment of soil particles by raindrop splash when raindrops having kinetic energy strike on the surface soil and a sediment transport by sheet flow of surface runoff. Rainfall kinetic energy is widely used as an indicator expressing the potential ability to separate the soil particles from soil mass. In this study, the soil erosion experiments of rainfall simulation were operated to evaluate the effects of rainfall kinetic energy on interrill erosion as using the strip cover to control raindrop impact. The kinetic energy from rainfall simulator was 0.58 times to that of natural rainfall. Surface runoff and subsurface runoff increased and decreased respectively with increase of rainfall intensity. Surface runoff discharge from plots of non-cover was 1.82 times more than that from plots with cover. The rainfall kinetic energy influenced on the starting time of surface and subsurface runoff. Soil erosion quantity greatly varied according to existence of the surface cover that can intercept rainfall energy. Sediment yields by the interaction between raindrop splash and sheet flow increased 3.6~5.9 times and the increase rates of those decreased with rainfall intensity. As a results from analysis of relationship between stream power and sediment yields, rainfall kinetic energy increased the transport capacity according to increase of surface runoff as well as the detachment of soil particles by raindrop splash.

호안 Mattress/Filter는 철망구조 내에 채움재를 채운 다공성 구조로서 다양한 크기의 채움재를 사용할 수 있고 이로 인하여 다양한 공극을 형성할 수 있다. 이러한 Mattress/Filter의 다공성 구조는 통수성을 증가시키기 때문에 호안부에서 흐름의 에너지 및 유속을 감소시키며, 이로 인해서 소류력이 감소되어 호안의 침식을 완화시킨다. 또한 Mattress/filter에 사용되는 채움재는 자갈, 폐콘크리트 및 슬래그를 사용하기 때문에 표면이 거칠고 조도계수가 증가하게 되며, 호안에서의 조도계수의 증가는 유속의 감소와 소류력 감소를 가져온다. 한편 Mattress/Filter가 시공되고 수개월이 경과되어 식생발달 및 안정화가 이루어진 후에는 식생과 Mattress/Filter가 일체화되며, Mattress/Filter와 식생에 의해 조도계수의 증가 및 유속감소의 효과가 더욱 커지면서 결과적으로 소류력 감소효과는 증가하게 된다. Mattress/Filter의 다공성 구조는 호안의 통수성 및 조도계수를 증가시켜 호안부의 유속 및 소류력을 감소시키기 때문에 침식 및 식생유실을 완화시키게 된다. 시공 초기 식생이 발달하기 전에 복토된 토양의 유실 우려가 있을 경우 Mattress/Filter의 표면에 토양유실방지매트를 설치하여 복토된 토양이 유수에 의해 침식되는 현상을 방지할 수 있다. Mattress/Filter 시공후 수개월이 경과한 뒤에는 식생이 발달하여 유속 및 소류력 저감효과가 더욱 증가하며, 이로 인해서 더욱 안정된 식생군락을 형성시킬 수 있었다.

Mean annual soil loss was calculated and critical soil erosion areas were identified for the Congaree River Basin in South Carolina, USA using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model. In the RUSLE model, the mean annual soil loss (A) can be calculated by multiplying rainfall-runoff erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), crop-management (C), and support practice (P) factors. The critical soil erosion areas can be identified as the areas with soil loss amounts (A) greater than the soil loss tolerance (T) factor More than 10% of the total area was identified as a critical soil erosion area. Among seven subwatersheds within the Congaree River Basin, the urban areas of the Congaree Creek and the Gills Creek subwatersheds as well as the agricultural area of the Cedar Creek subwatershed appeared to be exposed to the risk of severe soil loss. As a prototype model for examining future effect of human and/or nature-induced changes on soil erosion, the RUSLE model customized for the area was embedded into ESRI ArcGIS ArcMap 9.0 using Visual Basic for Applications. Using the embedded model, users can modify C, LS, and P-factor values for each subwatershed by changing conditions such as land cover, canopy type, ground cover type, slope, type of agriculture, and agricultural practice types. The result mean annual soil loss and critical soil erosion areas can be compared to the ones with existing conditions and used for further soil loss management for the area.

토양침식 및 유사유출로 인한 피해를 예방하고 대응방안을 수립하기 위해서는 침식의 발생원인과 규모에 대한 정량적 평가가 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 지속적인 계측에 의한 토양침식량 산정이 가장 바람직하지만 실질적으로 유역규모의 지속적인 모니터링은 불가능하므로 유역의 수문/지형/지질학적 특성을 고려한 수치모형을 사용하여 토양침식량 및 유사유출량을 산정하는 것이 일반적이다. 이러한 수치모형을 이용한 수문모의의 경우 모형의 구조, 모델링에 사용되는 자료, 매개변수 등에 포함된 다양한 불확실성 요인에 의해 계산결과에 상당한 불확실성을 포함하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 매개변수의 불확실성 전이에 따른 수문모의결과의 불확실성의 정량적인 평가를 위해 서로 다른 두가지 수문량(유출량, 유사유출량)을 제공하는 강우-유사-유출 모형을 선택하고, 다중최적화기법인 MOSCEM-UA을 이용하여 매개변수 상호작용에 의한 Pareto 최적해 군 및 균형최적해를 산정하고, 이에 따른 수문예측결과의 불확실성을 평가하였다.
