This study intends to provide the necessary basic data needed for predicting the water quality and examining changes in water quality on the basis of the hydrological changes: an outflow or the character of a flow by investigating the interaction of the parameters through the estimation of optimal parameters need for predicting the water quality of the dam basin and the sensitivity among those estimated parameters. Im-Ha Dam in the upstream area of the Nakdong River was selected for analysis, and the water quality survey data necessary for parameter estimation was based on the monthly water quality data (water temperature, BOD, T-N and T-P) between December 1, $2005{\sim}$November 31, 2006. K1C(the saturated growth rate of plant plankton), K1RC (endogenous respiratory quotient of plankton), KDC(deoxidized ratio), K71C(minealized ratio of dissolved organic phosphorus), K83C(mineralized ratio of dissolved organic nitrogen) have been considered as the factors of the water quality performed in this water quality simulation, that is, the most effective parameters on BOD, T-N and T-P. In the result of the analysis of the sensitivity, KDC(deoxidized ratio) was the most sensitively reacted parameter on BOD and it was K71C(mineralized ratio of dissolved organic phosphorus) and K83C(mineralized ratio of dissolved organic nitrogen) on T-N and T-P. It is considered that it will be possible to apply the most optimal parameter to an analysis of the water quality simulation at Im-Ha Ho basin in the goal year by examining the interaction of the parameters through the parameters sampling which are able to applicable to prediction of the water quality and the analysis of the its sensitivity, in the future, also the analysis on the basis of the hydrological conditions: an outflow or the character of a flow will be needed.

The small and medium sized dams have the fill dam type of a lot of occasions, which are often weak in cases of major floods. For this reason, although a countermeasure is in great need, due to the importance of the facilities and financial situations, no direct safety measures have been taken. In this study, in order to minimize construction expenditure for practical safety measures in cases of major floods, the overflow section of spillway has been analyzed focusing on how the overflow capacity will increase in the case of partially rebuilding a part of the overflow section of spillway favorable for hydraulic conditions. The Labyrinth weir and movable weir was chosen for reconstruction models of the overflow section. Moreover, for analyzing the after-effects of the reconstruction, a small scale dam was temporarily chosen for various experiments such as the hydraulic model testing and the three dimension numerical evaluation through the use of Flow-3D.

The present study aims to investigate the long-term channel morphological changes derived from channelization, embankment and levee construction works in unregulated fluvial channel of the Jiseock River. Analyses of aerial photographs taken past (Year 1966) and recent (Year 2002) showed the temporally remarkable changes in channel planform such as channel shape, bar migration, vegetation encroachment in bar. During the period, the natural single threading changed into braided types together with decreasing sinuosity by 9.2%, increasing vegetation occupied bar ranged 97% of total bars area. Because such channel morphological changes are closely similar to those in dam downstream channels, we assume that both/either flow regime alteration and/or sediment transport discontinuity may be critical for the fixed channel and spread of vegetated bars even in unregulated river without dam reservoir upstream. We found more reduced frequency and magnitude of flooding water level comparing with past, but no significant alteration of inter annual water level variation. Bed material has been coarsened by 4~5 times and the riverbed has been degraded in overall channel but aggraded locally in conjunction reach of tributaries. The results indicates that reduced sediment dynamics in fluvial channel which derived by bed material coarsening, river bed degradation and unbalanced sediment transport capacity between tributary and mainstem can be a causal factor to trigger channel morphological changes even in unregulated rivers.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the variation of probability flood according to the flow regulation by multi-purpose dams (Soyang and Chungju) in the Han-river basin, Korea. SWAT-K (Soil and Water Assessment Tool-Korea) was used in order to generate regulated and unregulated daily streamflows upstream of Paldang dam. Simulated flow regulated by the Soyang and Chungju dams was calibrated by comparison with the observed inflow data at Paldang reservoir. Generally the ratio of flood flows to daily streamflows is known to decrease with drainage area in a watershed. Regulated and unregulated flood flows were obtained from the relationship between flood flows and daily streamflows. Extreme Type-I distribution was applied for flood frequency analysis and L-moment method was used for parameter estimation. This is a novel approach capable of understanding the variation in flood frequency with dam operation for the relatively large watershed scale, and this will helps improve the applicability of daily stream flow data for use in flood control as well as in water utilization.

다목적댐은 비어있는 저수지 용량을 활용, 상류에서 유입되는 홍수를 저류하여 하류의 피해를 경감시키고, 저류된 저수량을 활용하여 갈수시 생 공 유지용수 등을 목적에 맞게 하류로의 공급에 주요 목적이 있다. 이를 위해 댐 계획에는 상류에서 유입되는 목표 빈도 계획홍수량을 산정하고, 이에 따른 여수로의 계획방류량 등이 포함된 홍수 조절 방안이 수립된다. 다목적댐은 그 중요도 때문에 많은 사회적 재화(財貨)가 투입되어 하천에서 가장 높은 빈도인 200년 빈도 홍수량에 대비하도록 설계되어 있다. 그러나 대부분의 댐 하류 하천에서는 긴 연장에 따른 투자비용 등의 한계로 상류 댐에 미치지 못하는 100년 빈도 이하로 설정되어있다. 이런 상 하류의 홍수계획간 괴리로 댐의 계획 방류량 수준의 홍수 조절시에는 하류 하천에 재난상황으로 발생할 우려가 있다. 기상예보의 고도화로 단기 예보의 정밀도가 높아져 단기간 댐 운영에는 효과적으로 활용되고 있다. 하지만 5일 이후를 예보하는 중 장기예보는 아직까지도 불확실성이 높은 실정이다. 여기에 기후변화 등 기상의 불확실성을 고려하여 홍수기 초 장마와 태풍 등의 영향에 대비하기 위해 무작정 댐을 저(低)수위로 운영하면 이후 여름 가뭄에 취약해 지고, 반대로 저수량 확보의 고(高)수위 운영을 할 경우 연이은 태풍 등 홍수상황에 취약해 지게 된다. 최근 '14~'15년도 낙동강 수계에 여름가뭄으로 안동 임하댐이 가뭄단계에 돌입하는 등 홍수기초 적정 저수량의 확보는 안정적 수자원시설 운영에 중요성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 불확실한 기상상황에 대비하고 댐의 이치수 목적 달성을 위해, 홍수기초 가능한 저수량을 확보하되 계획홍수량이 들어와도 하류피해는 경감시킬 수 있는 저수지 수위를 찾고자하였다. 이를 위해 낙동강 수계 9개 다목적댐(안동, 임하, 성덕, 보현산, 군위, 김천부항, 합천, 남강, 밀양댐)을 대상으로 댐 설계 및 직하류 하천 상황을 고려한 "홍수기초 댐 저수량 확보 수위 검토"를 실시하였다. 댐 직하류 하천의 홍수대비 상황 및 홍수조절시 제약사항 등을 조사해 주요지점(Critical Point)을 선정하고 그 지점의 홍수량을 파악한다. 이어서 저류함수 모형을 활용하여 댐별 저수지 모의 운영을 실시하였다. 대상 댐 저수지에 계획홍수량을 유입시키고 수위를 점차 조정하면서 하류 지점의 홍수량 내의 규모로 방류를 하는 저수지 모의 운영을 실시하였다. 이때 저수지의 계획홍수위를 초과하지 않는 등 안정적 홍수조절이 가능한 특정 수위를 찾아 하류 하천 환경을 고려한 댐 운영 수위로 선정하였다. 최근 홍수기총에는 강수량이 계속 줄어들고 홍수기 이후 더 많은 강수가 내리는 등 기후변화로 댐 운영은 날로 어려워지고 있다. 본 연구의 분석 결과는 홍수기초 가뭄 및 장마 또는 태풍 등에 대비하여 댐 운영의 이 치수 두 가지 목적을 달성하는데 참고가 될 수 있을 것이다.

Water pollution in erosion control dams is a major issue for forest watershed management, but the effects of erosion control dams on water quality remain poorly understood. In this study, water quality data from streams and dam reservoirs were collected over the Nakdong river basin. Monitored data were further analyzed to examine the relationship between watershed characteristics and water quality. Of the total 43 erosion control dams, less than 10% had lower water quality that was not suitable for agricultural use. TOC and oxygen demand, SS and turbidity, SS and Chl-a, and Chl-a and turbidity showed high correlations (p < 0.01) both in stream water and in detained water. BOD and SS, BOD and Chl-a, BOD and turbidity, and TOC and Chl-a showed high correlations only in stream water. Overall, the results demonstrated that for most erosion control dams the water quality was relatively good. In addition, the quality of downstream water is somewhat affected by the water detained by erosion control dams, in limited ways.

This paper analyzes the impact of two climate change scenarios on flow rate and water quality of the Yongdam Dam and its basin using CE-QUAL-W2 and SWAT, respectively. Under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios by IPCC, simulations were performed for 2016~2095, and the results were rearranged into three separate periods; 2016~2035, 2036~2065 and 2066~2095. Also, the result of each year was divided as dry season (May~Oct) and wet season (Nov~Apr) to account for rainfall effect. For total simulation period, arithmetic average of flow rate and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) and TP (Total Phosphorus) were greater for RCP 4.5 than those of RCP 8.5, whereas TN (Total Nitrogen) showed contrary results. However, when averaged within three periods and rainfall conditions the tendencies were different from each other. As the scenarios went on, the number of rainfall days has decreased and the rainfall intensities have increased. These resulted in waste load discharge from the basin being decreased during the dry period and it being increased in the wet period. The results of SWAT model were used as boundary conditions of CE-QUAL-W2 model to predict water level and water quality changes in the Yongdam Dam. TSS and TP tend to increase during summer periods when rainfalls are higher, while TN shows the opposite pattern due to its weak absorption to particulate materials. Therefore, the climate change impact must be carefully analyzed when temporal and spatial conditions of study area are considered, and water quantity and water quality management alternatives must be case specific.

Most of domestic multipurpose dams were basin area to be large, therefore, soil loss were occurred by downpour in the rainy season, They have caused to accumulate sediments on the river and dam reservoir that brought the decrease of storage volume and difficulties of the quality management of water. Until now, the measurement cycle of sediments surveying was long and it was designed to use surveying the degree of sediments, Thus there were many difficult things to secure accuracy. In this study, it was intended to analyze the origin position tracing of sediments and the movement route, for this purpose, aerial LiDAR technology was applied to precise sediments surveying. The amount and location of soil loss were evaluated by classified properties of soil, land-cover, and topographical conditions in detail. Therefore, the reliance could be maintained in analyzing the route of soil loss by extracting the flow within a watercourse and using the advanced accurate DEM.

The distortion effect of electrical response for two-dimensional (2-D) DC resistivity method was verified in terms of 2-D inversion result of synthetic data obtained by three-dimensional (3-D) modeling, which is frequently applied to assess the safety of center core-type fill dam structure. The distortion effect is due to 2-D interpretation for 3-D structure. By the modeling analysis, we found that the water level is correctly described in the resistivity section around the middle part rather than each end side of the embankment due to the 3-D terrain effect, when the material of the embankment is assumed as horizontally uniform. And when we set the slope of outer rock fill part as uniform. the sharper the slope of the center core is, the more similar the resistivity section reflects. On the other hand, when the slope of the rock fill is steep, the resistivity section shows the water level at lower position than the real one, and the 3-D distortion effect at the end side of the embankment was enhanced.
