Because of the Keumkangsan-Dam and the Peace-Dam constructed in recent years, it is expected that the peak flood discharge and the peak flood stage at the Hwachun-Dam site have been changed. In this study, two methods were used to simulate and compare the effects of the upstream dam construction on the change of the discharge and the stage. One is the storage function method widely used for the hydrological routing in the country. The other is the DWOPER(Dynamic Wave Operational Model) package conducted on four different scenarios: (1) before the construction of the Keumkangsan-Dam and the Peace-Dam; (2) the exclusion of the Keumkangsan-Dam watershed (before the construction of the Peace-Dam); (3) the exclusion of the Keumkangsan-Dam watershed (after the construction of the Peace-Dam) ; (4) the exclusion of the Peace-Dam watershed. The results of the four test cases from the two methods show that the peak flood discharge and the peak flood stage at the Hwachun-Dam site are reduced due to the construction of the Peace-Dam. From these findings, it is suggested that the operational criteria for the optimal dam-operation of the Hwachun-Dam need to be modified.

Peace dam constructed against the water attack had stopped in the first step, linked with Hwacheon dam through bypass tunnels and had an effect of flood surcharging in its pocket on Hwacheon dam downstream. To study the utility of Peace dam, the flood control effects of Peace dam and the restricted water level (RWL) in Hwacheon dam were reviewed and identified with operating Hwacheon dam system. Analysing the results the ideas of expanding the usability of the water resources in Hwacheon dam system were suggested. To do that, the criteria and the model of reservoir operation were established frist and the optimization of the operation have done. Based on the results the performance of the optimization was evaluated as an reference coefficient with relative value of the registered data to the optimized. And examining several alternatives for the RWL in Hwacheon reservoir operation made more feasible RWL suggested. And its economic benefit was also reckoned.

In this study, the method of Increasing the flood control as well as conservation effects is studied by joint operation of Hwacheon and Peace Dam. After completing the second phase of the construction of the Peace Dam, the dam crest height will be increased from 225m and the storage capacity will also be increased. If storage capacity is increased and gates are installed, it will assist not only flood control but also conservation of the entire Han river basin. Considering the change of conservation levels, the change of the restricted water level of the Hwacheon Dam in flood season, and the inflow change into the Peace Dam through the simulated reservoir operation, the annual average power of Hwacheon Dam with 95% reliability, annual firm power, the volume of water supply is calculated. As a result, when the conservation level of the Peace Dam and the restricted water level of the Hwacheon Dam are increased, the generation capacity will be improved. However, even though the inflow decrease, the generation capacity will not be affected. If the inflow decrease under the same conditions, the water supply capability will be reduced to the range from 35% to 40%. It is necessary to increase conservation level to keep the same water supply capability.

Flora and standing crops of the periphyton communities were examined at five sites in the mountainous streams of the Dam of Peace, Korea, from June to November 2003. The attached algal communities comprised totally 76 taxa belong to the 5 classes. In species composition, diatoms and green algae overwhelmingly dominated the periphyton communities although their standing crops were low. During the survey period, major dominant species were Navicula gregaria and Nav. pupla var. capitata, as 11.7% and 8.9% of total standing crop, respectively. Other subdominant species were Scenedesmus ecornis and Spirogyra weberii in green algae, Cymbella affinis, Cymbella minuta. Fragilaria capucina, Melosira varians, Naw. cryptocephala, Nav. exigua var. capitata, Nav. gregaria, Nit. sublineuris in diatom. In the seasonal appearances, S. ecornis and Oscillatoria nigra were occurred in summer, C. affinis and F. capucina in autumn, and N. sublinearis, and species Spirogyra weberii in winter, respectively.

The analysis of fish community structure in the Peace Dam, Korea, was investigated from April 2003 to September 2004. Eight families and 31 species were collected during the period surveyed. Korean endemic species were 13 and the relative abundance was 41.9% of the total, along with Hemibarbus mylodon, Acheilognathus yamatsutae and Coreoleuciscus splendidus. Dominant was Hemibarbus labeo (14.1%) and subdominant species was Zacco temmincki (13.7%). Also, Z. platypus (11.9%), H. longirostris (9.3%), and Siniperca scherzeri (8.1%), were numerous. The biomass of collected fishes were H. labeo (24,278 g), S. scherzeri (19,487 g), Anguilla japonica (10,400 g), Cyprinus carpio (8,418 g), and Carassius auratus (4,020 g), According to the community analyses, the artificial reservoir with in the Bukhan River system were divided into 2 groups by unweighted pair-group method analysis (UPGMA), and it revealed that the community structure in Peace Dam was similar to those in Soyang and Paro Reservoirs.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how a downstream channel is affected in case of hypothetical dam failure. The object of it is Hwacheon dam basin within the basin of North Han river. This study has analyzed the influence on Pyeonghwa(Peace) dam and Hwacheon dam supposing that the Imnam dam in North Korea on the upper stream of North Han river is failed hypothetically at the MFWL(maximum flood water level) by a deluge of rain. The model applied at the main study is NWS(National Weather Service) FLDWAV(Flood Wave Routing Model). Dam breach characteristics data are analyzed by making nine hypothetical scenarios on the basis of other studies on the shape and size of dam breach, time of failure and so on. Expected peak discharge through the breach is verified to have the propriety in comparison with empirical function which is developed on the basis of the case of dam breach in the foreign countries and it is observed that peak discharge is more increasing, as the time of breach gets shorter and the breach width gets bigger. As a result of main study, even though the Imnam dam is hypothetically failed down, there has no influence on the Hwacheon dam of the downstream as the extended Pyeonghwa dam on the downstream controls the volume of discharge properly.

It is usually not easy to simulate the hydrologic cycle or water quality for ungaged watersheds, especially for long-term simulation. In this paper we evaluated the applicability of GSSHA, a process-based distributed hydrologic model, for the long-term discharge and water quality simulation for the ungaged Peace dam watershed. From the comparative analysis of the simulated discharge and water quality series with measured ones, we concluded that with its overall fair performance on simulating hydrograph patterns of the peak discharges and base flows for major storms the GSSHA model showed some possibility to be used as a watershed model even with its overestimation of peak discharges for small storms and different trends of simulated water quality from measured ones for some periods.

Last year, a new perception of the right to peace on the Korean Peninsula was adopted: DMZ Yanggu Peace Declaration 2021. The Declaration reflects that there is a raising of necessity for a new perception and approach from the perspective of DMZ-related laws, sustainable ecological environment and security. Gangwon is making considerable efforts to make the border area in DMZ as an area of peace by continuously enhancing publicity on the establishment of the 'Peace Special Self-Governing Province'. This study suggests the necessity of a paradigm shift towards the significance of the interkorean border region that it should function as a passage between the South and the North rather than a dam. For, to be renewed as a sustainably developing region through newly constructed flow of communication, the wall of hostility must preliminarily fall dawn. Then a question arises about how Gangwon is, out of other border region, most eligible for the reconsideration of its significance as a border area. The answer relies on the newly established agenda and understandings towards the right to peace in the perspective of founding the policy for the Unification of the Korean Peninsula. Furthermore, the conservation of DMZ ecological environment through enlistment of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve should go hand in hand with the ultimate value of global agenda of the conservation and protection of the environment. The study insists that the peace zone is a prerequisite for the adaption of the era of future-oriented glocalization featured by the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Up to this date, the border area was an area of pain and agony. It is time for Gangwon to be reborn as an area of peace and coexistence. The aim of this study is to point a direction for Gangwon to become a sustainably developing region by illuminating the value of the Gangwon border area as a new area of peace.
