The estimations of flow characteristics and river-bed erosion or sedimentation are very important for hydraulic structure design, floodplain management, and especially, river management. The objective of the study is therefore to estimate the change of flow characteristics and river-bed change due to a hydraulic structure construction. With 11.65 km study area of the Geum River which are located in downstream of Daecheong Dam, flow characteristics and river-bed change were estimated based on the RMA2 and SED2D model. As the result of the study, the increase of river-bed sedimentation in upstream and river-bed erosion in downstream were occurred by the construction of hydraulic structure.

If there is no choice but to be urbanized, we should examine how human interference has had influences on the area to keep the river environment safe and stable. This study is aimed at finding improvement by examining the effect of human interference in Gapcheon river in Daejeon, which is developing fast. Distinctive features of human interference in Gapcheon river are followings. First, middle and upper reaches of Gapcheon river are being maintained and restored focusing on flood control but are scheduled to develop city and channel. Second, the rear area of middle and lower reaches of Gapcheon river is already developed into an urban district and solidified into artificial stream for leisure activities installing the artificial structure for fun. Third, lower reaches of Gapcheon river are in an unstable condition because of straightening waterway and developing rear area of river. Up to now, geographical features and bio-diversity of Gapcheon river has been ruined by the artificial management of river centered for technical engineering. From now on, followings should be considered for management of urban river. First, it is focused on maintaining eco system by itself than usage for human. Second, natural features of rear area of river should be taken into consideration and should be preserved before developing urban city and hills, back marsh, channel deposit and swamp to directly have an influence on river.

This study explained the historical changes in the habitat structures based on the aerial photographs (1948, 1967, 1973, 1989 and 2010) of the mid-stream reach of the Mangyeong River. The habitat structure was divided into landforms and aquatic habitats. The landform was classified into bare land, vegetated land, water surface, farmland and artificial land. The aquatic habitat was classified into natural riffle, artificial riffle, run, head wando, tail wando, mid wando, pond and chute channel. The ratio of bareland decreased, and water surface and vegetated land increased after the excavation in 1970s and since the construction of weir in 1980s. As historical changes of aquatic habitat, ratio of run decreased sharply while mid wando increased sharply. aquatic habitats such as head wando, tail wando, and pond located on bars decreased dramatically.

We investigated characteristics of channel morphology, flora and vegetation distribution at the main and the abandoned channels of the Hwangguji Stream and the Cheongmi Stream. The analysis of aerial photographs and old topographical maps showed that the abandoned channels were made by cut-off from the main channel due to the construction of artificial levee. The total number of species and percentage of exotic plants at the main channels were higher than those at the abandoned channels. At the abandoned channel, the percentage of species number of hydrophytes and hygrophytes was higher than those at the main channels in the both stream. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the floral structure between at the main and the abandoned channel was more similar in the Hwangguji Stream than that in the Cheongmi Stream. The relative distribution areas of hydrophytes and hygrophytes at two abandoned channels were much higher than those at the main channels in the both stream. The dominant plant was an emergent macrophyte, Zizania latifolia at two abandoned channels. Therefore, flora and vegetation at the abandoned channel showed more hydric and lentic characteristics and provided diversity on the landscape level.

Analysis of No. 199∼145 cross-sections set up by the Ministry of Construction (1978) in the middle reaches of the Sumjin River around Sunchang, Daegang, and Goksung areas have been done for delineating the changes In fluvial geomorphic features. The entire river-bed in the study area has been considerably degraded since 1978. In some cross-sections, the thalweg shillings are observed. Two aspects are responsible for the erosion-dominant environment. First, flow velocity has been increased. Human activities including wetland destruction, ex-channel destruction and artificial levee construction reduced the channel width, and fixed the channel geometry. This has resulted in increase of the water velocity. Pebble and granule∼coarse sand are prevailing on the river-bed, indicate the high speed of the currents. Second, aggregate has been intensively mined during 1980s∼1990s around the areas. Especially, in the right side of the cross-sections No. 188∼187 and the left side of the cross-section No. 155, erosion toward under the artificial levee is remarkable. This can be led to bank failure in case of heavy rainfall.

This research focused on analyzing and comparing between the results of hydraulic physical modeling and the results of numerical modeling of continuous block system in river bank protection which is newly developed in-situ block system. To verify the hydraulic physical modeling and review the effectiveness, the numerical modeling was needed against the model test results for vegetation application or not. HEC-RAS model was for 1 dimensional numerical analysis and SMS was for 2 dimensional numerical analysis. The results of the two dimensional numerical simulation, under the condition of roughness coefficient calibration, show similar and rational consequence against the physical modeling. These satisfactory results show that the accomplished results of hydraulic modeling and the predicted results of numerical modeling corresponded reasonably each others.

In this study, hydraulic flood routing is performed by 1-Di. unsteady flow model, FLDWAV on the downstream of Nakdong river. For input information, KOWACO Rainfall-Runoff Model is used and resonable boundary condition is constructed. As the result of the application about the past flood event, good agreement of comparison with observed and calculated values are show in the interesting sites, Jindong and Samrangjin. Additionally, estuary barrage's WSL evaluation procedure is enhanced to accurate calculation, and it is defined by downstream boundary condition in Nakdiong river. The new regressive equation to calculate the predicted tide value is developed by considering the astronomical tide and past observed tide value at Nakdong estuary barrage. The guideline's construction of the new application and flood forecasing system of other river basins is possible by using this studied results.

Aquatic ecosystem is composed of various organic and inorganic matters. Its health is essential for sustaining its members such as vegetations, mammals, birds, fishes and invertebrates. Samcheonpo stream is one of candidate streams in Sacheon area of ecological restoration. For this reason, this study conducted to build up a data base for future comparison. The results shows that biodiversity of Epilithic Diatoms and Invertebrates is below average which means that human impacts such as artificial structures and activities have been negatively related to stream health. Consequently, we suggest several key factors when ecological restoration is performed in the stream.

하천은 크게 하도와 홍수터 그리고 제방으로 나눌 수 있으며, 최근 대하천 및 중 소규모 하천의 홍수터 공간을 활용하여 인공습지, 체육시설 및 공원 등과 같은 다양한 친수시설들을 조성하여 활용하고 있다. 이러한 홍수터는 여름철 태풍이나 집중호우로 인해 침수되다가, 강우 사상이 종료된 이후에는 유사가 퇴적되어 복구비용이 반복적으로 발생하고 있다. 홍수시 홍수터에서의 수리적 안정성을 평가하기 위해서는 홍수터를 포함한 복단면에서의 흐름해석이 선행되어야 하며, 계산된 수리적 인자들을 이용하여 홍수터에서의 수리적 안정성을 평가할 수 있다. 국외에서는 국내와 다르게 하천 홍수터 공간을 거의 활용하지 않기 때문에 홍수터에서의 수리적 안정성 평가에 대한 연구사례는 드문 실정이며, 도시침수로 인한 제내지 홍수위험도 평가에 대한 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 하지만 기존에 사용되고 있는 제내지 홍수위험도 지수를 국내 홍수터에 도입하여 수리적 안정성을 평가하기에는 침식 및 퇴적을 올바르게 고려할 수 없는 한계점이 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 홍수시 홍수터 내에서 침식과 퇴적을 고려할 수 있는 홍수터 수리적 안정성 지수를 산정하고 과거 연구된 실내 수리실험 자료와 비교하여 적용성을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 자연하천에서의 실제 태풍 사상에 의한 침식 및 퇴적의 상대적 공간분포를 산정하여 홍수터에서의 수리적 안정성을 평가하고자 하였다.
