In this study we calculate discharge by slope-area method using continuously observed water level data and analyse the results. This study is performed in the Dalcheon river reach of 960 m length including riffles and a pool, which is located downstream of the Goesan Dam. Three values of roughness coefficient are applied to discharge calculation, which are established using bed material size analysis. Another roughness coefficient value obtained from the river improvement plan is also used. Calculated discharges by slope-area method are compared with dam discharges. Relative difference from dam discharges appears to be largely affected by roughness values and a value of 0.042 or more seems most suitable for the entire study reach. Smaller roughness value is suitable to the reach which has gentler water surface slope than mean channel slope of the entire study reach, while a larger value to steeper reach. In case roughness value is set considering overall slope of the channel, it is desirable to select the entire calculation reach including both gentler and steeper sub-reaches. Since relative difference becomes nearly constant at over 500 cms, in case that verification of applied roughness is conducted with other directly measured discharge, accuracy of measurement by slope-area method for larger discharge may be improved.

Analysis of the partial discharge signal, a technique to diagnose the stator winding insulation is a key function for the diagnosis of high voltage rotating machines and requires high precision. To satisfy this requirement, various denoising techniques such as filtering and differential methods were proposed. However, these techniques can not eliminate a adjacent induction noise that decreases reliability of the diagnosis. A simple novel denoising algorithm, therefore, is proposed for removing the adjacent induction noise in this paper. The algorithm shows good performance in the real partial discharge signals measured by 13kV class capacitive couplers installed at hydro-generator in Dae-cheong Dam.

The object of this study is the safety insurance of the dam to provide for the extraordinary flood. The safety insurance of the reservoir was taken by the preparatory discharge using the temporary division tunnel used during the reservoir construction. In this study, the Sungju reservoir was simulated. The existing discharge facilities of the intake tower of the Sungju reservoir could nat have influence on the flood control. When the Sungju reservoir operated to begin preparatory discharge for 48 hrs by the temporary diversion tunnel that have discharge of an 20-years frequency, the water level was lowered about 20 cm. When the Sungju reservoir operated to begin the continuous discharge after the preparatory discharge, the water level was lowered over 1m but the downstream at risk was caused by the resulted. If it is possible to operate to begin the preparatory discharge of the reservoir for 24 hrs by the temporary diversion tunnel, that will improve the flood control faculty of the reservoir without other hydraulic structure and safety of the Sungju reservoir will be higher.

This study simulate three-dimensional ocean circulation patterns using the EFDC model in the Kwangyang Bay and Jinju Bay, considering tide, water temperature and salinity. The numerical model results were verified using observed data. The model results well reproduced the observed data. As a result, ocean circulation patterns in the study area show convergence and divergence in the middle area of Noryang waterway and Daebang waterway, the residual flow patterns show typical two-layer circulation. According to the change of the density stratification in the Kwangyang Bay and Jinju Bay, the effect of fresh water is dominant in study area. In the case of Jinju Bay, although it is strongly influenced by the Namgang fresh water, also it is affected by Seomjin River when there is no discharge by Namgang Dam. On the other hand, the stratification of the Kwangyang Bay is relatively enhanced by the discharge of Namgang Dam.

Effects of the West sea tide to the flow of the Han and Imjin river during floods and normal seasons was analyzed by the hydraulic model. Tidal effect diagrams which represent the inter-relationships between flow of two livers and tide of Wolgot were developed using the results of analysis. At Jamsu and Hangang bridge, the stage rise due to the tide can be reached about 2m at maximum when the discharge of Paldang dam is less than 5,000cms, and the stage rise is very small when the discharge of Paldang dam is more than 15,000cms. In the Imjin river, the stage rise can be reached about 3.5m at maximum when the discharge is below 5,000cms, and can be neglected when the discharge is over 5,000cms.

We estimated the pollutant loads for the last 3 years based on the daily discharge at the Nakdong River dam(barrage) and spatiotemporal characteristics of seawater quality in the Nakdong river estuary to investigate the correlation between the pollutant load inflow rate and seawater quality. The main results from this research are summarized as follows. (1) The total discharge at the Nakdong River dam dam the last 11 years has been $224,576.8{\times}10^6m^3/day$. The discharge figures show that the maximum discharge occurs in August with $52,634.2{\times}10^6 m^3/day$ (23.4% of the year's volume), followed by July and Sep. in that order with 23.1 and 17%, respectively. (2) The pollutant load influx from the Nakdong River dam was composed of 307,591.3COD-kg/day, 128.746.1 TN-kg/day, and 107,625.8 TP-kg/day. (3) The surface temperature in the Nakdong River estuary was about $2.137^{\circ}C$ higher than that of the lower layer. The salinity of the lower layer was 2.209%o higher than that of the ocean surface. The salinity of the ocean surface decreased by up to 19.593%o due to the inflow of the discharge at the Nakdong River dam. (4) DO, COD, TN, and SS concentration levels tended to be higher at the ocean surface than in lower layers, whereas the reverse was true for TP. (5) The water mass at the ocean's surface and in the lower layers during the drought and flood seasons tended to be separated by the difference in densities due to the freshwater inflow.

Dam risk analysis requires a systematic process to ensure that hydrologic variables (e.g. precipitation, discharge and water surface level) contribute to each other. However, the existing dam risk approach showed a limitation in assessing the interdependencies across the variables. This study aimed to develop Bayesian network based dam risk analysis model to better characterize the interdependencies. It was found that the proposed model provided advantages which would enable to better identify and understand the interdependencies and uncertainties over dam risk analysis. The proposed model also provided a scenario-based risk evaluation framework which is a function of the failure probability and the consequence. This tool would give dam manager a framework for prioritizing risks more effectively.

In this study, a new analysis method by using a "Discharge Gini Coefficient" is presented to determine the degree of inequality in daily discharge throughout the year. The Discharge Gini Coefficient can be calculated using the area relationship with the cumulative percentage of the daily mode discharge in the ascending order according to the cumulative percentage of the date of occurrence of the daily discharge throughout the year. The Discharge Gini Coefficient is presented as a value between 0 and 1, and the degree of inequality can be divided into 5 levels. The Discharge Gini Coefficient can be used to estimate the discharge stability of the downstream point relative to the upstream point. In addition, it is possible to quantify the influence of each reference discharge on the total inequality. The applicability of the Discharge Gini Coefficient was reviewed using long-term daily discharge data at eight points upstream and downstream of the four major rivers in Korea. The Discharge Gini Coefficient can also be used to analyze the discharge control effect in the downstream by the upstream dam.
