Effects of the design flood share of the Kyeongpo retarding basin, which has a function for flood control of the Kyeongpo river assigned to the Kyeongpo prickly water lily wetland, on the Kyeongpo lake and the downstream of Kyeongpo river were analyzed on the bassis of the hydraulic experiments and the numerical simulations using RMA-2 model. Reproducing a complex water flow system of the area of Kyeongpo lake, the unsteady flow simulations were performed. The data obtained in hydraulic experiments were used to determine parameters of the numerical model which simulated the flows for various flood scenarios in the downstream area of Kyeongpo river. With increasing the design flood share rates in the retarding basin, the water level was increased in the lake and is decreased in the river. The characteristics of flood flow interaction between Kyeongpo river and Kyeongpo lake were understood. These results may be used to management the Kyeongpo lake during flood season.

The methodology of utilizing Intensity-Duration-flood Quantity (IDQ) curve for flood alert and warning was introduced and its performance was evaluated. For this purpose the lumped parameter model was calibrated and validated for gauged basin data set and the index precipitation equivalent to alert and warning flood was estimated. The index precipitation and IDQ curves associated by three different Antecedant Moisture Conditions (AMCs) are made provision for various possible flood scenarios. The test basin is Wonju-cheon basin ($94.4km^2$) located in Gangwon province, Korea. The IDQ curves corresponding to alert (50% of design flood level) and warning (70% of design flood level) level was estimated using the Clark unit hydrograph based lumped parameter model. The performance evaluation showed 0.704 of POD (Probability of Detection), 0.136 of FAR (False Alarm Ratio), and 0.633 of CSI (Critical Success Index), which is improved from the result of IDQ with single fixed AMC.

EAP, which is operated on the frame of Risk Alarm 4-stage of National Risk Management Guideline, is a critical method in order to promptly respond to disasters. Korea Flood Control Office issues major and moderate flood alarm at each river station by respectively 50% and 70% of design flood discharge in terms of watermark or sea level, however, the criteria deciding major and moderate floods are vague for field managers to control the disaster situations. On the other hand, Japan and USA use river water level as a main criterion in order to classify the stage of flood disaster, which is higher design flood level than Korea. Thus, the authors analyzed domestic and oversea EAP guidelines and suggested improved criteria showing easy display method and raising the criteria of flood level for reflecting more effective action plans through testing a simulation training on the test-bed.

This study analyzed the effect of flood level reduction in the case of creating and operating offline storage for the Jangdong district, which can be used as a flood buffer space for the Geumgang River, through one-dimensional unsteady flow numerical simulation. In particular, the sensitivity analysis of changes in the height and width (length) of transverse weirs on flood level changes was performed to provide quantitative information necessary for flood control facility (embankment) design. As a result of analyzing the flood control effect of the offline storage based on the peak flood discharge and level, spatially, the flood control effect at the planned flood buffer space site and the downstream end was confirmed, and it was confirmed that the flood reduction effect at the downstream occurred the most. By design conditions of the transverse overflow weir, the greatest flood reduction effect was found under the condition that the overflow weir height based on the 50-year frequency flood level and the transverse overflow weir width (length) of 125 m were considered. The effect of delaying the time to reach the maximum flood due to the operation of the offline storage site was also presented based on unsteady flow modeling.

The existing flood protection in rivers has shown the limitation due to the urbanization around rivers and the abnormal climate. Thus, the demand for the constructions of side-weir detention basin are being increased as a part of integrated watershed flood protection plan. It is necessary to estimate the quantitative flood-control effect for including the side-weir detention basin in flood-control measures. For the determination, it is required to reduce the uncertainty of the design factors which can affect the flood-control effect of side-weir detention basin. Among the factors, however, the water level in river always contains uncertainty. Therefore, the design method considering the uncertainty is required. For the reasons, the design method considering uncertainty of the water level in river is suggested in this study with using the length of side-weir which is relatively easy-determinable by designers. Therefore, it is examined how the variation of the length of side-weir can affect the flood-control effect, using HEC-RAS, and then the method to determine the side-weir length considering the uncertainty of the water level in river through results from analyses. Since the uncertainty of the water level in river can be taken into account in the suggested design method, it is evaluated that the design method is more effective to suggest the flood-control effect of the side-weir type detention basin with higher safety side.

The determination of the design flood based on probabilistic concepts is one of the important matters of the general field of hydrology. Until now, Most of any existing formulas to predict the flood flow were estimated by very different values with each other when we applied these formulas to the small basin, in extreme case, which were estimated over top be 400% of a difference because these have been developed by foreigners or derived from the big basin. The objective of this thesis is to examine closely the characteristics of frequency flood flow for reliable prediction of the flood flow through the probabilistic method in hydrology and to develop the ($Q_T=27.74T^{0.178}A^{0.594}$) applicable to the river of Kangwon province.

In this study, We proposed a method to estimate the design flood by area ratio in an ungauged basin. For that, the discharge parameters was determined by calibration of observed data at the watershed outlet and then peak flow was estimated by area ratio. In order to verify suggested method, peak flow was compared the observed discharge of the small river basin and the design flood discharge of river implementation projects. The results were summarized as follows. As a result of comparing the discharge by the area ratio and observed discharge, the difference of peak flows were analysed 14 ~ 25%. When the discharge calculated with area ratio of small river was compared with the design flood discharge of river implementation projects, the relative error was analyzed to be less than 20%. It means that suggested method in this study is appropriate.

This studies were established to find out the characteristics of frequency distributiom for the number of occurrence and magnitude, probable flood flows according to the return periods, design floods, and design frequency factors for the studying basins in relation to the risk levels which can be correlated with design return period and the life of structure in the non-annual exceedance series. Eight watersheds along Han, Geum, Nak Dong and Seom Jin river basin were selected as studying basins. The results were analyzed and summarized as follows. 1. Poisson distribution and Exponential distribution were tested as a good fitted distributions for the number of occurrence and magnitude for exceedance event, respectively,at selected watersheds along Han, Geum, Nak Dong and Seom Jin river basin. 2.Formulas for the probable flood flows and probable flood flows according to the return periods were derivated for the exponential distribution at the selected watersheds along Han, Geum, Nak Dong, and Seom Jin river basin. 3.Analysis for the risk of failure was connected return period with design life of structure in the non-annual exceedance series. 4.Empirical formulas for the design frequency factors were derivated from under the condition of the return periods identify with the life of structure in relation to the different risk levels in the non-annual exceedance series. 5.Design freguency factors were appeared to be increased in proportion to the return periods while those are in inverse proportion to the levels of the risk of failure. Numerical values for the design frequency factors for the non-annual exceedance series ware appeared generally higher than those of annual maximum series already published by the first report. 6. Design floods according to the different risk levels could be derivated by using of formulas of the design frequency factors for all studying watersheds in the nor-annual exceedance series.

The predictien of a design flood hydrograph at a particular site on a river may be based on the derivation of a discharge or stage hydrograph at an upstream section, together with a method to route this hydrograph along the rest of the river. In order to limit this investigation to cases where the assumption like uniform rainfall may be reasonably valid, the derivation of unit hydrographs has been limited to catchment with an area less than 500 km2. Consequently, flood routing methods provide a useful tool for the analysis of flooding in all but the smaller catchment, particularly where the shape of the hydrograph as well as the peak value is required. The author, therefore, will introduce here a flood routing method on the open channel with a peak discharge of the catchment area concerned. The importance of being able to route floods accurately is also reflected in the large number of flood routing method which have been developed since the year 1900. There are the modified puls method, Steinberg method, Goodrich method, Ekdahl method, Tatum's mean continuously Equation, wisler-Brater method, Muskingum, chung, and Muskingum-cunge (M-C) method and so on. The author will try to introduce a flood routing method which is revised Muskingum-cunge method. In calculating flood routing by the M-C method, whole variable parameters on the river were assumed to almost uniform values from the upstream to the downstream. In the results, the controlled flood rates at the 40km downstream on the river is appeared to decrease 22m$^3$/sec or 12 percent of the peak flood 170m$^3$/sec.

This study was to develop the flood analysis module (FAM) for implementation of a web-based real-time agricultural flood management system. The FAM was developed to apply for an individual watershed, including agricultural reservoir. This module calculates the flood inflow hydrograph to the reservoir using effective rainfall by NRCS-CN method and unit hydrograph calculated by Clark, SCS, and Nakayasu synthetic unit hydrograph methods, and then perform the reservoir routing by modified Puls method. It was programmed to consider the automatic reservoir operation method (AutoROM) based on flood control water level of reservoir. For a $15.7km^2$ Gyeryong watershed including $472{\times}10^4m^3$ agricultural reservoir, rainfall loss, rainfall excess, peak inflow, total inflow, maximum discharge, and maximum water level for each duration time were compared between the FAM and HEC-HMS (applied SCS and Clark unit hydrograph methods). The FAM results showed entirely consistent for all components with simulated results by HEC-HMS. It means that the applied methods to the FAM were implemented properly.
