  • Estuarine dams are a recent and global phenomenon. While estuarine dams can provide the benefit of improved freshwater resources, they can also alter estuarine processes. Due to the wide range of estuarine types and estuarine dam configurations, the effect of estuarine dams on estuaries is not well understood in general. To develop a systematic understanding of the effect of estuarine dam location and freshwater discharge interval on a range of estuarine types (strongly stratified, partially mixed, periodically stratified, and well-mixed), this study used a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment dynamic numerical model (COAWST) and compared flow, sediment transport, and morphological conditions in the pre- and post-dam estuaries. For each estuarine type, scenarios with dam locations at 20, 55 and 90 km from the mouth and discharge intervals of a discharge every 0.5, 3, and 7 days were investigated. The results were analyzed in terms of change in tide, river discharge, estuarine classification, and sediment flux mechanism. The estuarine dam location primarily affected the tide-dominated estuaries, and the resonance length was an important length scale affecting the tidal currents and Stokes return flow. When the location was less than the resonance length, the tidal currents and Stokes return flow were most reduced due to the loss of tidal prism, the dead-end channel, and the shift from mixed to standing tides. The discharge interval primarily affected the river-dominated estuaries, and the tidal cycle period was an important time scale. When the interval was greater than the tidal cycle period, notable seaward discharge pulses and freshwater fronts occurred. Dams located near the mouth with large discharge interval differed the most from their pre-dam condition based on the estuarine classification. Greater discharge intervals, associated with large discharge magnitudes, resulted in scour and seaward sediment flux in the river-dominated estuaries, and the dam located near the resonance length resulted in the greatest landward tidal pumping sediment flux and deposition in the tide-dominated estuaries.

  • Estuarine dams are dams constructed in estuaries for reasons such as securing freshwater resources, controlling water levels, and hydroelectric power generation. These estuarine dams alter the flow of freshwater to the coastal ocean and the tidal properties of the estuaries which has implications for the estuaries' circulation and sediment transport. A previous study has analyzed the effect of estuarine dams on 1D (along-channel) circulation and sediment transport. However, the effect of estuarine dams on the transverse variability of along-channel and across-channel circulation and sediment transport has not been studied and is not known. In this study, a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment dynamic numerical model (COAWST) was used to analyze the transverse variability of along-channel and across-channel flow and sediment transport in estuaries with estuarine dams. The estuarine dam was found to change the 3D structure of circulation and sediment transport, and the result was found to depend on the estuarine type (i.e., strongly stratified (SS) or well-mixed (WM) estuary). The SS estuary had inflow in the channel and outflow over the shoals, consistent with estuarine circulation. Longer discharge interval reduced the estuarine circulation. The WM estuary had inflow over the shoals and outflow in the channel, consistent with tide-induced circulation. As the estuarine dam was located nearer to the estuary mouth, the tide-induced circulation was reduced and replaced with estuarine circulation. The lateral circualtion was the greatest in the tide-dominated estuaries. It was reduced and changed direction due to differential advection change as the dam was located nearer the mouth. Overall, the WM estuary transverse flow structure changed the most. Lateral sediment flux was important in all estuaries, particularly for transporting sediments to the tidal flats.

  • Estuarine dams are constructed for securing freshwater resources, flood control, and improving upstream navigability. However, their impact on estuarine currents, stratification, and sediment fluxes is not well understood. To develop a general understanding, an idealized modeling study was carried out. Tide and river forcing were varied to produce strongly stratified, partially mixed, periodically stratified, and well-mixed estuaries. Each model ran for one year. Next, the models were subject to the construction of an estuarine dam and run for another year. Then, the pre- and post-dam conditions were compared. Results showed that estuarine dams can amplify the tidal range and reduce the tidal currents. The post-dam estuaries tended to be a salt wedge during freshwater discharge and a bay during no freshwater discharge. For all estuaries, the estuarine turbidity maximum moved seaward, and the suspended sediment concentrations tended to decrease. In terms of sediment flux mechanisms, the estuarine dam increased the seaward river runoff for cases with strong river, and increased the landward tidal pumping for cases with strong tides.

  • While estuarine dams can develop freshwater resources and block the salt intrusion, they can result in increased sediment deposition in the estuary. The mechanism of increased sediment deposition in an estuary with an estuary dam is not well understood. To fill this knowledge gap, 7 ADCP measurements of flow and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) were collected along-channel in an estuary with an estuarine dam over a neap-spring cycle. Flow and SSC were used to calculate the sediment flux and sediment flux gradients. The results indicated that the cumulative sediment fluxes at all stations were directed landward. The along-channel sediment flux gradient was negative, which indicated deposition along the channel. The landward mean-flow fluxes were dominant in the deep portion of the channel near the estuary mouth, whereas landward correlation fluxes were dominant in the shallow portion of the channel near the estuarine dam. The tides were the dominant forcing driving the sediment fluxes throughout the estuary.

  • 한강 유역에서 하천과 하구-만의 퇴적환경의 연계성과 한강본류의 퇴적환경의 변화를 연구하기 위해, 230여 점의 표층퇴적물과 70여 점의 부유퇴적물과 수리학적 자료를 분석하였다. 연구지역은 신곡수중보를 기준으로 두 가지 환경(하천, 하구-만)으로 구분할 수 있다. 남한강과 북한강에는 역질 퇴적상이, 한강 본류는 사질과 실트질 퇴적상이 우세하게 븐포하였다. 한강 본류 지역은 신곡수중보에 의한 제한적인 퇴적물 이동과 에너지 환경에 의해 퇴적환경의 변화가 발생하였다. 하구-만 환경에 있어서, 수로와 외해 지역에는 상대적으로 조립한 퇴적물이 우세한 반면에, 연안지역은 세립하고 분급도가 불량한 퇴적물이 우세하게 분포하였다. 하천과 하구-만의 연계성은 인공 구조물에 의한 흐름의 제한에 의해서 영향받기 때문에, 평수기에 각 하천은 개별적인 퇴적환경을 나타내며, 하천과 하구-만의 연계적인 퇴적환경은 조석에 영향을 받고, 하구-만의 전이적인 지역은 하천 방향으로 이동한다. 그러나, 풍수기에 각 하천은 하천 유량의 증가에 의해, 연계적인 퇴적환경을 나타내며, 하천-하구-만의 각각의 전이지역은 외해방향으로 이동함을 시사한다. 보다 자세한 연구를 위해서는 신곡수중보 하류의 하구지역에 대하여 남북한 공동연구가 필요하다.

  • This paper describes the applications of the SCS TR-20 hydrologic model for simula- tion of hourly inflow rates from sixty-six ungaged tributaries and subareas between the Naju station and the estuarin dam at the Yongsan River Basin. The model was tested for the ungaged conditions with fifteen storm events at Naju station. Hourly simulated run- off data were compared with the observed, and the results showed less correlationships between the two data than those from TANK model. The coefficients of correlation ranged from 0.74 to 0.87. The curve numbers and time of concentration were defined from topographic dta for each of sixty-six tributaries for the estuarine dam and used for TR-20 applications. The results were within an acceptable range of errors in simulating the inflow fluctuations for the flood forecasting at the estuarine dam.

  • 금강 하구언 건설 이후 20년 동안 나타난 수서환경의 각종 변화에 관한 연구결과를 호수측과 하구측을 비교하는 방식으로 정리하였다. 유사한 점은 양측 모두에서 물의 체류시간 증가, 수질악화, 퇴적물내 유기물농도 증가, 하천유입 퇴적물의 이동경로 차단현상이 나타났다. 전체적으로 호수측이 하구측보다 악영향이 강하게 나타났지만, 호수측에서는 영양염농도의 증가와 남조류 대량발생 등 수질악화현상이 두드러지게 나타난 반면, 하구측에서는 퇴적물의 이동경로차단으로 인하여 군산하구내 퇴적현상이 심화되어 정상적인 하구의 기능을 저해하고 있다.

  • 낙동강 하구역의 메탄 분포에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 알아보기 위하여, 2014년 1월, 9월, 11월 낙동강 하구에서 수층 메탄 농도의 시공간 분포를 살펴보고, 하구 내 메탄의 유입과 유출을 정량화하였다. 수층 메탄 농도는 21~874 nM의 범위를 보였으며, 수온과 유량의 영향으로 인해 겨울보다 여름에 더 높은 값을 보였다. 메탄은 주로 육상으로부터 강물을 통해 하구로 유입되기 때문에 상류에서 바다로 갈수록 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 조간대나 둑 인근의 유기물이 풍부한 퇴적물 등 또 다른 메탄 유입원이 국지적으로 영향을 미친 결과, 계절에 따라 공간 분포 패턴이 다르게 나타났다. 다른 연안 지역과 비교하였을 때 낙동강 하구 수층 메탄 농도는 높은 편이었다. 이는 유역에 발달한 호소 환경과 둑의 정체 효과로 인해 강물 메탄 유입이 많기 때문으로 판단된다. 하굿둑 외측에서 메탄의 거동을 정량화한 결과 메탄은 주로 담수를 통해 유입되며 대기를 통해 유출되는 것으로 추정되었다. 낙동강 하구가 면적 당 높은 대기 방출을 보이는 이유는 울타리 섬이나 하굿둑 등에 의해 체류시간이 길어져 수층 메탄이 대기로 방출될 시간이 많아진 결과로 추정된다.
