Urban development of basin causes increasing runoff volume and peak flowrate and shortening in time of concentration, which may cause frequent flooding downstream. An infiltration facilities are operated as a method of reducing flood discharge of urban rivers and peak flowrate. There are various types of infiltration facilities like infiltration trench and porous pavement. In this study, runoff reduction effect due to installation of infiltration facilities are performed and focused on $0.18km^2$ residential area of Ok-kye dong and $0.67km^2$ industrial area of Gong-dan dong in Gumi City. The analysis is fulfilled with comparison of total runoff volume and runoff reduction volume by using the WinSLAMM and the relation equation between area ratio of infiltration facilities and ratio of runoff reduction are derived and peak flow reduction effect for installation of infiltration facilities is analyzed.

The significant sedimentation at the estuary in the eastern coast of Korea frequently causes river mouth occlusion where disconnection between the river and sea is observed. River mouth occlusion causing watershed retention raises the environmental risk of the area as it impairs water quality and threatens the area's safety in the event of floods. This study proposes a plan to maintain stability of river channel and flow of flood discharge at the estuary with loss of its function for disaster prevention. To this end, the study tries to change the location and width of stream path, focusing on the center line of stream near the sand bar of river mouth. This allows to identify a shape of stream path that leads the most stable flow. To review the result, this study uses the SRH-2D, a model for two-dimensional hydraulic analysis, and conduct numeric simulation. The simulation result showed that the most effective plan for maintaining the stable flow of running water without having the area sensitive to changes in hydraulic characteristics is to lower the overall river bed height of the sand bar near the center line of stream to a equal level.

In the present study, hydrologic data and topographical data from 2010 to 2019 were collected from three gauging stations placed in the watershed of Naeseong stream to determine changes and rates of changes in rainfall, water level & mean velocity, and water level & discharge, together with changes in rates of erosion and deposition at cross-sections of the river. Besides, effects of regulated and non-regulated rivers according to the presence of artificial regulation of flow rate of the river via artificial structure located at Seo stream (Yeongju si (Wolhogyo) station), the tributary free from construction of dams, were compared and analyzed. Results of analyses conducted in the present study revealed vegetational establishment and landforming due to increasing area of vegetational sandbar evolved in the flood plain (intermediate- or high- water level) by the drought sustained from 2013 to 2015. Continuous erosion of river bed was appeared because of narrowed flow area with low water level and increased velocity and tractive force on river bed.

홍수기 하천에서 유량측정은 예산, 인력, 안전 및 측정 시 편의성 등의 이유로 측정에 제한이 많다. 특히, 태풍 등으로 인한 호우사상 발생 시 위와 같은 문제로 홍수량 측정에 어려움이 따른다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 Lee et al.(2021)은 드론과 전자파표면유속계의 기능을 융합한 DSVM(Dron and Surface Veloctity Meter using doppler radar) 측정방법을 개발하였다. 전자파표면유속계 측정의 제한 요소인 진동을 감소시키기 위해 댐퍼플레이트를 개발하였고 금강의 지류인 봉황천에 현장 적용을 통해 DSVM 측정방법의 실용성을 확인하였다. 기존 연구에서 DSVM 방법은 드론의 각 측선 이동을 위한 조종과 전자파표면유속계 측정의 제어를 측정자가 수행하였는데 본 연구에서는 통합 드론측정시스템(IDMS, Integrated Drone Measurement System) 개발을 통해 측정자의 조종 의존도를 줄임과 동시에 안전하고 정확한 유량측정을 위해 노력하였다. 기존 댐퍼플레이트의 상하 진동 흡수 기능뿐만 아니라 전자파표면유속계의 흔들림 현상 등 자세 제어 기능을 보완하기 3축 모터를 적용한 방수짐벌을 개발하여 측정 정확도를 향상시켰다. 미션컴퓨터 개발로 측정지점의 측정 임무정보를 DB화하여 각 측선별 헤딩, 고도, 이동 등 자동항법 기능과 기체의 안정화 이후 전자파표면유속계를 자동으로 제어하여 측정을 실시하는 기능을 구현하였다. 또한 통합 GCS(Ground Control System)를 통해 비행 및 측정에 대한 모든 정보를 확인하고 컨트롤 할 수 있게 하였다. 2022년 금산군(제원대교), 무주군(취수장), 경주시(서천교) 지점에서 홍수기 유량측정에 도입하여 중간단면적법, 지표유속법을 적용하여 통합드론측정시스템의 실용성을 검증 완료하였다. 2023년 현장에 18대의 통합 드론측정시스템을 도입하여 홍수기 유량측정에 활용할 계획이다.

하천에 발생하는 홍수를 예측하는 과정은 실무에서 많이 사용하는 HEC-HMS 와 같은 강우-유출 모형을 사용하여 산정한 하천의 강우빈도별 설계홍수량으로부터 HEC-RAS와 같은 수리학적 모형을 이용하여 홍수위를 산정하는 방법을 주로 의존하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 강우 강도를 통하여 하천에 발생하는 빈도별 유량으로 간접적으로 홍수위를 산정하기 때문에 실시간으로 발생하는 홍수위 또는 홍수 발생시간을 정확하게 알기 힘들다. 하지만, 최근 하천의 홍수파 또는 배수영향으로 인한 이력현상으로 하천의 수위-유량관계의 이력현상으로 인해 발생하는 유량자료의 오차를 줄이기 위해 수위관측소에 H-ADCP 초음파 센서를 활용한 자동유량측정장치를 설치, 운영하여 실시간으로 유량자료를 관측하고 있다. 이러한 자동유량측정장치에서 측정하는 유량자료는 H-ADCP에서 지표유속으로부터 유량자료를 산정하는데, 홍수파 또는 배수영향으로 지표유속, 유량, 수위의 수문곡선에 발생하는 이력현상을 관측 가능하다. 관측된 수문곡선의 이력현상은 유속, 유량, 수위 순으로 첨두의 발생시간이 나타나는데, 유속의 첨두 발생시간과 수위의 첨두 발생시간은 수문곡선의 형태 또는 규모에 따라 달라진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 강우-유출 모의에 의존한 홍수예보기법을 보완하여 더 정확한 홍수위, 홍수 발생시간을 예측하고, 홍수예경보 시스템에 정량적인 기준을 제시할 수 있도록, 하천에 발생하는 수문곡선의 첨두유속과, 첨두수위의 발생시간, 규모를 분석하여 둘의 관계를 제시하고자 한다. 분석방법으로는 대상유역으로 이력현상이 발생하는 영산강유역에 위치한 남평교, 나주대교 두 지점을 선정하고 자동유량관측소 관측자료인 지표유속, 수위자료를 취득한다. 취득한 자료로부터 지표유속의 첨두 값과, 수위의 첨두 값, 지표유속의 첨두지점으로부터 수위의첨두지점 까지 발생하는 시간을 홍수 사상별로 정리하여 첨두유속-첨두수위, 첨두유속-첨두수위발생시간의 관계그래프를 산정하였다. 남평교의 경우 유속-수위의 이력범위는 거의 없었다. 나주대교의 경우 유속-수위 이력범위가 현저히 나타나 관계를 분석하기 용이 하였다. 하천에 이력현상이 현저히 나타나는 경우 첨두유속-첨두수위, 첨두유속-첨두수위발생시간의 관계가 뚜렷하게 나타나고 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 하천의 홍수예경보 판단의 정량적 기준을 제안하였다.

In recent years, the occurrence of abnormal weather has increased rapidly, increasing the frequency of torrential rain. As a result, stable water resource management is difficult, and human and material damage is increasing. Various measures are being established to reduce damage caused by torrential rains, but small-scale mountain catchments are relatively difficult to manage due to lack of basic plan. In this study, the risk of flooding was evaluated using the rainfall-flow model in the Yeonhwa-dong catchment national park among national parks in Korea. The Yeonhwa-dong catchment of Mt. Sobaeksan was simulated to cause flooding when rainfall of more than 50 years occurred, and it was confirmed that there was a high risk of water resource structures, safety facilities, and trails.

Changes of geomorphology in alluvial river and vegetation recruitment on its floodplain downstream from dams are investigated both qualitatively and quantitatively focusing on the downstream of Andong dam and Imha dam on the Nakdong River. Results of the analyses of river morphology and bed material in the study site show a general trend of riverbed degradation with a max scour of 3 m and bed material coarsening from pre-dam value of 1.5 mm in D50 to post-dam value of 2.5 mm. Decrease in bed shear stress due to the decrease in flood discharge have caused vegetation recruitment on the once-naked sandbars. As result, the ratio of area of vegetated bars over total area of bars has drastically changed from only 7% in 1971 before the Andong dam (constructed in 1976) to 25% after it, and increased to 43% only three year after the Imha dam (constructed in 1992) and eventually to 74% by 2005. Analysis of the vegetation succession at Wicjeol subreach, one of the three subreaches selected in this study for detailed investigation, has clearly shown a succession of vegetation on once-naked sand bars to a pioneering stage, reed and grass stage, willow shrub and eventually to willow tree stages. At the second subreach selected, two large point bars in front of Hahoe Village seem to have maintained their sand surfaces without a signifiant vegetation recruitment until 2005. The sand bars, however, seem to have been invaded by vegetation recently, which warns river managers to have a countermeasure to protect the sand bars from vegetation invasion in order to conserve them for the historical village of Hahoe. On the other hand, recruitment and establishment of vegetation on the sand bars by artificial disturbance of the river, such as damming, can create an unique habitat of backmarsh in the sandy river, as shown in the case of Gudam Wetland, and may increase the biodiversity as compared with relatively monotonous sand bars. Last, the premise in this study that decrease in flood discharge due to upstream dams and decrease in bed shear stress can induce vegetation recruitment on the naked sand bars in the river has been verified with the analyses of the distribution of dimensionless bed shear stress along the selected cross section in each subreach.

The global warming is probably the most significant issue of concern all over the world and according to the report published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the average temperature and extent of global warming around the globe have been on the rise and so have the uncertainty for the future. Such effects of global warming have adverse effects on basic foundation of the mankind in numerous ways and water resource is no exception. The researches on water resources assessment for climate change are significant enough to be used as the preliminary data for researches in other fields. In this research, a total of 124 peer-reviewed publications and 57 reports on the subject of research on climate change related to water resources, that has been carried out so far in Korea has been reviewed. The research on climate change in Korea (inclusive of the peer-reviewed articles and reports) has mainly focused on the future projection and assessment. In the fields of hydrometeorology tendency and projection, the analysis has been carried out with focus on surface water, flood, etc. for hydrological variables and precipitation, temperature, etc. for meteorological variables. This can be attributed to the large, seasonal deviation in the amount of rainfall and the difficulty of water resources management, which is why, the analysis and research have been carried out with focus on those variables such as precipitation, temperature, surface water, flood, etc. which are directly related to water resources. The future projection of water resources in Korea may differ from region to region; however, variables such as precipitation, temperature, surface water, etc. have shown a tendency for increase; especially, it has been shown that whereas the number of casualties due to flood or drought decreases, property damage has been shown to increase. Despite the fact that the intensity of rainfall, temperature, and discharge amount are anticipated to rise, appropriate measures to address such vulnerabilities in water resources or management of drainage area of future water resources have not been implemented as yet. Moreover, it has been found that the research results on climate change that have been carried out by different bodies in Korea diverge significantly, which goes to show that many inherent uncertainties exist in the various stage of researches. Regarding the strategy in response to climate change, the voluntary response by an individual or a corporate entity has been found to be inadequate owing to the low level of awareness by the citizens and the weak social infrastructure for responding to climate change. Further, legal or systematic measures such as the governmental campaign on the awareness of climate change or the policy to offer incentives for voluntary reduction of greenhouse gas emissions have been found to be insufficient. Lastly, there has been no case of any research whatsoever on the anticipated effects on the economy brought about by climate change, however, there are a few cases of on-going researches. In order to establish the strategy to prepare for and respond to the anticipated lack of water resources resulting from climate change, there is no doubt that a standardized analysis on the effects on the economy should be carried out first and foremost.

At the center of the Noryang waterway, the Gwangyang bay area (including the Yeosu Strait) is located at the west, and the Jinju bay area (including Gangjin bay and Sacheon bay) is located at the east. Freshwater from several rivers is flowing into the study area. In particula,r the event of flood, great quantities freshwater flow from Seomjingang (Seomjin river) into the Gwangyang bay area and from Gahwacheon (discharge from Namgang Dam) into the Jinju bay. The Gwangyang and Jinju bay are connected to the Noryang waterway. In addition, freshwater from Seomjingang and Gahwacheon also affect through the Noryang waterway. In this study, we elucidated the characteristics of the tidal exchange rate and residence time for dry season and flood season on 50 frequency, considering freshwater from 51 rivers, including Seomjingang and Gahwacheon, using a particle tracking method. We conducted additional experiments to determine the effect of freshwater from Seomjingang and Gahwacheon during flooding. In both the dry season and flood season, the result showed that the particles released from the Gwangyang bay moved to the Jinju bay through the Noryang waterway. However, comparatively small amount of particles moved from the Jinju bay to the Gwangyang bay. Each experimental case, the sea exchange rate was 44.40~67.21% in the Gwangyang bay and 50.37~73.10% in the Jinju bay, and the average residence time was 7.07~15.36days in the Gwangyang bay and 6.45~12.75days in the Jinju bay. Consequently the sea exchange rate increased and the residence time decreased during flooding. A calculation of cross-section water flux over 30 days for 7 internal and 5 external areas, indicated that the main essential flow direction of the water flux was the river outflow water from Seomjingang flow through the Yeosu strait to the outer sea and from Gahwacheon flow through Sacheon bay, Jinju bay and the Daebang waterway to the outer sea.

A calibrated hydrological model is a useful tool for quantifying the impacts of the climate variations and land use/land cover changes on sediment load, water quality and runoff. In the rainy season each year, the Xe Bang Fai river basin is provisionally flooded because of typhoons, the frequency and intensity of which are sensitive to ongoing climate change. Severe heavy rainfall has continuously occurred in this basin area, often causing severe floods at downstream of the Xe Bang Fai river basin. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the climate change impact on river discharge using a Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model based on future climate change scenarios. In this study, the simulation of hydrological river discharge is used by SWAT model, covering a total area of $10,064km^2$ in the central part of country. The hydrological model (baseline) is calibrated and validated for two periods: 2001-2005 and 2006-2010, respectively. The monthly simulation outcomes during the calibration and validation model are good results with $R^2$ > 0.9 and ENS > 0.9. Because of ongoing climate change, three climate models (IPSL CM5A-MR 2030, GISS E2-R-CC 2030 and GFDL CM3 2030) indicate that the rainfall in this area is likely to increase up to 10% during the summer monsoon season in the near future, year 2030. As a result of these precipitation increases, the SWAT model predicts rainy season (Jul-Aug-Sep) river discharge at the Xebangfai@bridge station will be about $800m^3/s$ larger than the present. This calibrated model is expected to contribute for preventing flood disaster risk and sustainable development of Laos
