  • In this study, it has observed the precipitation and stage data at each point every ten minutes for gaining the sustainable, reliable and high-quality hydrological data through operating the experimental watershed in mountainous areas such as Gyecheon located in the upstream of Seom river that is the tributary of Nam-Han river. And it has regularly surveyed the runoff and verified the reliability of data using the uncertainty analysis at the gaging station. So, this study has developed the stage-discharge curve(rating curve) and these results are expected to be used as fundamental data for analyzing the circulation of water through surveying evapotranspiration, soil moisture and level of groundwater in watershed.

  • Predictive watershed transform is a popular object segmentation algorithm which achieves a speed-up by identifying image regions that are different from the previous frame and performing object segmentation only for those regions. However, incorrect segmentation is often generated by the predictive watershed transform which uses only local information in merge-split decision on boundary regions. This paper improves the predictive watershed transform to increase the accuracy of segmentation results by using the additional information about the root of boundary regions. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is processed in a block-based manner such that an image frame is decomposed into blocks and each block is processed independently of the other blocks. The block-based approach makes it easy to implement the algorithm in hardware and also permits an extension for parallel execution. Experimental results show that the proposed watershed transform produces more accurate segmentation results than the predictive watershed transform.

  • River Management System was developed to achieve water quality analysis that reflects physical characteristics of river flow. The Gyecheon basin which is located at the upstream of Hoengseong dam was selected as an experimental watershed and hydrologic and water quality monitoring network was set up for acquisition of real time data. The observed data have been stored in the system until present. The hydraulic and water quality models were constructed for an experimental watershed, and the calibration and verification was performed using past flood events and observed water quality data. Graphic User Interface(GUI) was developed with ArcView in a study area. Developed system can be effectively used to water quality monitoring and management in Hoengseong Lake.

  • Watershed Segmentation with Multiple Merging Conditions in Region Growing Process The watershed segmentation method holds the merits of edge-based and region-based methods together, but still shows some problems such as over segmentation and merging fault. We propose an algorithm which overcomes the problems of the watershed method and shows efficient performance for .general images, not for specific ones. The algorithm segments or merges regions by thresholding the depths of the catchment basins, the similarities and the sizes of the regions. The experimental results shows the reduction of the number of the segmented regions that are suitable to human visual system and consciousness.

  • Rainfall and runoff data from a forested watershed and irrigated rice paddies at the Bal-an experimental watershed were monitored and analyzed to investigate the variations of runoff characteristics with different land use. The comparisons were conducted fourteen storm events ranging 21.8∼190.2 mm of rainfall. Field data showed that direct runoff from paddies and forested watershed are not significantly different in volume. The peak discharge from forest watershed was less than that from paddies far lighter storms, but became greater fur heavier storms. The peak runoff from the forest watershed was 39 percent greater than from the paddies. The results demonstrate that paddies play an important role to reduce peak discharge from heavy storms as compared to forest.

  • This paper is primarily intended to propose a new concept of "aggregate control of road density" which is defined as the area-wide road surface per watershed area. An empirical study for experimental sites was conducted to confirm how a standard GIS technology can be used to assist in estimating the road density in terms of total volume threshold control. Guidelines for a replicable methodology are presented to provide a strong theoretical basis for the standardization of factors involved in the estimation of the road space threshold; the meaningful classification of road types, delination of watershed boundary, interpretation for distribution trends of road density etc. A variety of visual maps using overlay analysis can be generated over large areas quickly and easily to show the fact that some degree of road space already exists in the experimental sites. They could be used as an evidence to limit further construction of road network in comparison with other tributary watershed. It is anticipated that this research output could be used as a valuable reference to confirm the potential of introducing the new concept of "site specific road density" to support more scientific and objective decision-making in the process of road construction project.

  • Recently, climate change causes climatic anomaly such as global warming, the typhoon and severe rain storm etc. and it brings damage frequently. Climate change and global warming are prevalent all over the world in this century and many researchers including hydrologists have studied on the climate change. In this study, Seonakdong river watershed in the Nakdong river basin was selected as a study area. Real-time monitoring system was used to draw the rating curves, which has 0.78 to 0.96 of $R^2$. To predict runoff change in Seonakdong river watershed caused by climate change, the change in hydrologic runoff were predicted using the watershed model, SWAT. As a result, the runoff from the Seonakdong river watershed was increased by up to 45 % in summer. Because of the non-point sources from the farmland and the urban area, the water quality will be affected by the climate change. In this study, the operating plan of the water gates in Seonakdong river will be suggested by considering the characteristics of the watershed runoff due to the climate change. The optimal watergate opening plan will solve the water pollution problems in the reservoir-like river.

  • In this paper distributed models for simulating spatially and temporally varied moving storm in a watershed were developed. The complete simulation in a watershed is achieved through two sequential flow simulations which are overland flow simulation and channel network flow simulation. Two dimensional continuity equation and momentum equation of kinematic approximation were used in the overland flow simulation. On the other hand, in the channel network simulation two types of governing equations which are one dimensional continuity and momentum equations between two adjacent sections in a channel, and continuity and energy equations at a channel junction were applied. The finite difference formulations were used in the channel network model. Macks Creek Experimental Watershed in Idaho, USA was selected as a target watershed and the moving storm on August 23, 1965, which continued from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M., was utilized. The rainfall intensity fo the moving storm in the watershed was temporally varied and the storm was continuously moved from one place to the other place in a watershed. Furthermore, runoff parameters, which are soil types, vegetation coverages, overland plane slopes, channel bed slopes and so on, are spatially varied. The good agreement between the hydrograph simulated using distributed models and the hydrograph observed by ARS are Shown. Also, the conservations of mass between upstreams and downstreams at channel junctions are well indicated and the wpatial and temporal vaiability in a watershed is well simulated using suggested distributed models.

  • The purpose of this study was to obtain optimal amount of groundwater development for a rural small watershed. The optimal amount of groundwater development in this experimental watershed is 13.8 %($0.67{\times}10^6m^3$) of the annual rainfall by SCS-CN method. The Visual MODFLOW analyses showed the optimal amount of groundwater development were 14.9 %($0.72{\times}10^6m^3$) of the annual rainfall.
