Investigations on the inundation damage and improvement measures were carried out centering around the protected horticultural complex concentrated in lowlands on the side of Geum river, in Nonsan and Buyeo, Chungnam. Most greenhouses were single-span plastic houses in this area, and tomato, strawberry and watermelon were cultivated mainly. 45.8 % of whole farmhouse were experienced in damage by inundation, and a frequency of the damage was average once in 11 years. The most urgent problem at the greenhouse culture in this area was showed in order of drainage improvement, irrigation water resources and energy saving. Consideration items in drainage improvement project for protected horticulture were showed in order of extending drain pumps, extending drain canals, using concrete flume in drain ditch. It needs to consider systematic plans that can restrain new establishment of greenhouses on the lowland paddy field in drainage area. It is difficult to remove greenhouses which are already established or prohibit cultivation. Therefore we should impose minimum duty items so that greenhouse tillers can cope with inundation. And it is thought that managing agency need to minimize farmers damage by improving drainage ability and introducing maintenance pattern that is different from rice cropping.

The national need to establish a new stray current mitigation method to protect the underground metallic infrastructures in congested downtown area forced us to design and develop the distributed impressed current cathodic protection (DICCP) system. The main purpose of this system is to replace the stray current drainage bond methods, which is widely adopted by pipeline owners in Korea. Currently, forced drainage makes up about 85% of total drainage facilities installed in Korea because polarized drainage can neither drain perfectly the stray currents during normal operation of electric vehicle nor drain the reverse current during regenerative braking at all. The forced drainage, however, has been abused as an alternative cathodic protection system, which impresses currents from rails to the pipelines and accordingly uses the rails as anodes. As a result, it is necessary to consider a new method to both cathodically protect the pipelines and effectively drain the stray currents. In this paper, we describe the design parameters and installation schemes of DICCP system that can meet these demands.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the conditions of small fishing village & fishing port and to suggest the development direction of them. For this, we tried to field survey and research of development demands for 100 sample places. The results of this study were as follows; First, Small fishing villages & fishing ports have different characteristics and their primary industry was a fisheries. And they have a poor condition for basic facilities and industrial facilities, more smaller fishing port. Second, The living satisfaction of residents was decreased gradually because of a decrease in amount of catching fish, a population aging and etc. Residents and public officers was to demand an expansion of basic facilities, an investment of national expenditure and a simplification of administrative procedure. Third, We could establish the development directions by geographical location and funcion of them. And They must development consider their characteristics.

Tsunami disaster, which ruined Japan Fukushima nuclear power plant sites in 2011 March, has raised not only the perception of that Tsunami and/or large scale flooding possibly surpass the design baselines for industry facilities and plants, but also the necessity to establish recovery system against flooding. This study suggests the framework for flooding and drainage system in compliance with flooding and drainage concept to define and identify requirements, functions, and components of the system with traceable relations. The framework with combination to CMMI engineering process is the base of corresponding high level system design.

This study was performed to apply the preventive management technique that is known for more economic and preventive for disaster than corrective technique to Repair & Improvement(R&I) Project policy of irrigational facilities. The appropriate periods of R&I Project had been driven to 40yrs, 24yrs, 27yrs, and 29yrs for reservoir, Pumping and drainage pumping station, Diversion weir and Irrigation & drainage canal respectively. The cost of R&I Project for 10 years had been estimated as 616.9 billion won per year including the 85 billion won for the project of 'Disaster prevention and Function continuity'. After the period of 'Improvement all at once', about 30yrs, 421.8 billion won was requested for 'Function continuity'.

Reappraisal of the design and the construction concept of the bottom drainage tunnel has been made through the seepage analysis. An appropriate design approach for this tunnel has also been proposed. It was revealed from this study that water pressures acting on the concrete lining in the bottom dralnage tunnel much depend on the permeability of the surrounding ground, the source of water supply and the discharge capacity of dralnage facilities. The full release of these water pressures by the current drainage system could not be expected if this type of tunnel is constructed in the ground including alluvial deposits having a high permeability. The necessity of a proper reinforcement of the concrete lining or a modification of its shapes corresponding to the water pressure has been suggested.

Recently, flood damage is rapidly increasing because of warming of globe, urbanization and industrialization. As a countermeasure to prevent these flood damages, it is quite required to extend the flood control ability by improving the objective rivers in the watershed and building more medium to large scale reserviors. Simultaneously repairing and rehabilitation of facilities through the safety diagnosis for reinforcement of the facilities should be continuously proceeded. Also extensive implementation of drainage improvement, establishment of prevention and refairing system against flood damage and raise of accuracy of weather forecasting should be proceeded.

The objeative of this study is to study how to rapidly convert tidal land into cultivable land. The study of a rapid, reasonable desalinization method is conducted at Namyang tidal land which represents soil texture of tidal lands along the south west costa larea of Korea. Therefore, Researches were made at many Pilots in order to find a way of high efficiency of leaching with simpler facilities and cheaper costs. The results of study are briefly summarized as follaws: 1. Subdrainage efficieny is 35%. This is a Poorly drained area, and needs longer leaching desalinization period. 2. The efficieny of desalinization in P.V.C 16 meters plot is the same as that of mole drainage 2 meters plot. P.V.C 4 meters plot has desalinization effect as much as two times compared to P.V.C 16 meters plot. 3. Because the soil texture is silty-clay, desalinization in non-treated plot of sub-drainage and surface drainage desalinization take three times longer period in comparision with P.V.C 4 meters plot. 4. As to the desalinization rate of soluble salt in the soil, the efficieny of desalinization of the topsoil in P.V.C plots was 50% higher than that of mole drainage plot and about 170% higher than that of non-treated plot. In the deep soil salt accumulation at topsoil was observed in non-treated and mole drainage plots, but efficiency in P.V.C polt is about 40 times as high as that of mole drainage and non-treated plot. 5. As to the results of use gypsum and lime as sub-drainage soil improver, gypsum was 60% more efficieny than lime in the continuously inundated plot and 44% in the intermittently inundated plot. The efficieny of gypsum and lime in the intermittently flooded plot is 35% and 42% higher than that of continuously flooded plot reapeaticee1y.

A distributed hydrologic model of an urban drainage area on Bugok drainage area in Oncheon stream was developed and combined with a optimization method to determine the optimal location and number of best management practices (BMPs) for storm water runoff reduction. This model is based on the SCS-CN method and integrated with a distributed hydrologic network model of the drainage area using system of 4,211 hydrologic response units (HRUs). Optimal location is found by locating HRU combination that leads to a maximum reduction in peak flow at the drainage outlet in this model. The results of this study indicate the optimal locations and numbers of BMPs, however, for more exact application of this model, project cost and SCS-CN reduction rate of structural facilities such infiltration trench and pervious pavement will have to be considered.
