In this study, WUA (Weighted Usable Area) based on the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) was calculated to determine ecological flow at JeonJu-Cheon by using River2D model. To calibrate River2D, simulation results for low flow conditions of River2D were compared with calibrated HEC-RAS simulation results and the optimum parameters were determined. The results were RMSE (0.18), NSE (0.71) and coefficient of determination (0.78) for velocity and RMSE (0.02), NSE (0.71), coefficient of determination (0.73) for water depth. The result shows that the model successfully simulates the water flows. A selected target fish species to build the habitat suitability index were composed of Zaccoplatypus and Coreoleuciscus splendidus. These species showed the highest occurrences over the past decade in f ish monitoring. Also, The WUA-Discharge curve was calculated with the suitability index in a medium flow conditions. From the result, WUA is changed according to flowrate. In the flowrate-WUA/A graph, ecological flow can be determined at $1.8{\sim}2.0m^3/s$ for Zaccoplatypus $2.0m^3/s$ and Coreoleuciscus splendidus $1.8m^3/s$ at JeonJu-Cheon upstream. When compared with flow-duration analysis, it is demonstrative that simulation results fitted ecological flow considering quantity of available habitat for each fish species.

South Korea experiences few large scale erosion and sedimentation problems, however, there are numerous local sedimentation problems. A reliable and consistent approach to modelling and management for sediment processes are desirable in the country. In this study, field measurements of sediment concentration from 34 alluvial river basins in South Korea were used with the Modified Einstein Procedure (MEP) to determine the total sediment load at the sampling locations. And then the Flow Duration-Sediment Rating Curve (FD-SRC) method was used to estimate the specific degradation for all gauging stations. The specific degradation of most rivers were found to be typically 50-300 tons/㎢·yr. A model tree data mining technique was applied to develop a model for the specific degradation based on various watershed characteristics of each watershed from GIS analysis. The meaningful parameters are: 1) elevation at the middle relative area of the hypsometric curve [m], 2) percentage of wetland and water [%], 3) percentage of urbanized area [%], and 4) Main stream length [km]. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of existing models is in excess of 1,250 tons/㎢·yr and the RMSE of the proposed model with 6 additional validations decreased to 65 tons/㎢·yr. Erosion loss maps from the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), satellite images, and aerial photographs were used to delineate the geospatial features affecting erosion and sedimentation. The results of the geospatial analysis clearly shows that the high risk erosion area (hill slopes and construction sites at urbanized area) and sedimentation features (wetlands and agricultural reservoirs). The result of physiographical analysis also indicates that the watershed morphometric characteristic well explain the sediment transport. Sustainable management with the data mining methodologies and geospatial analysis could be helpful to solve various erosion and sedimentation problems under different conditions.

현재 한강수계에서는 북한강 상류에 건설된 임남댐(저수용량 26억$m^3$)으로 인하여 화천댐 상류 유역계의 변화가 발생하였다. 화천댐의 경우, 기존의 발전용량을 포함한 안정적 방류계획에 변화가 발생하여 기존 저수지 용량의 효율적인 관리기술의 실증이 필요한 시점이다. 또한, 향후 기후변화 및 용수이용 증가에 대비한 안정적인 물공급을 위해 하천유출량의 시 공간적인 평가 및 가용수자원의 평가는 보다 합리적이고 정확하게 이루어져야 하며, 이를 위해 준분포형 유역유출-저수지 운영 결합해석 모형이 필수적으로 도입되어야 할 시점이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 SWAT-K(과학기술부, 2007)를 이용하여 기존댐의 최적 운영룰을 도출한 후, 팔당호에서의 유황개선 효과를 정량적으로 분석하여 수자원 확보량을 평가하고자 하였다. 화천댐의 경우, 방류시나리오로 기존 운영실적을 기준으로 홍수기 중 9월 방류량을 50% 감소, 비홍수기 중 $11{\sim}3$월 방류량을 50% 증가시켜 적용하였을 때 최적 운영룰이 도출되었으며, 이때 갈수량 이하의 10일간 유황개선을 통하여 분석기간에 대하여 0.12억$m^3$의 수자원 확보가 이루어질 수 있었다.

This study presents the methodology for the performance analysis and prediction of small hydro power plants(SHP). Rainfall data are characterized to estimate the flow duration curve of SHP, using the cumulative density function of Weibull distribution. The model for the performance analysis of SHP is developed. Also, the performance characteristics of the existing Anheung Plant located in Han River basin are analyzed by using the developed model. As a result, it was found that the model is suitable to analyze the performance characteristics of existing SHP and to predict the primary design performance such as the design flowrate, capacity, rate of operation and annual electricity production of SHP.

A novel approach of Poisson cluster stochastic rainfall generator was validated in its ability to reproduce important rainfall and watershed response characteristics at 104 locations of the United States. The suggested novel approach - The Hybrid Model(THM), as compared to the traditional ones, has an additional function to account for the year-to-year variability of rainfall statistics. The two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to see how well THM and traditional approach of Poisson cluster rainfall model reproduce the distribution of the following hydrologic variables: monthly maximum rainfall depths with 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hour duration, monthly maximum flow peaks at the virtual watersheds with Curve Number of 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90; and monthly runoff depths at the same virtual watersheds. In all of the testing variables, THM significantly outperformed the traditional approach. This result indicates that the year-to-year variability of rainfall statistics contains important information about the characteristics of rainfall processes that were not considered by the conventional approach of Poisson cluster rainfall modeling and that further considering it in rainfall simulation will enhance the performance of the rainfall models.

The finite element analysis of transient water flow through unsaturated soils was used to investigate effects of hydraulic characteristics, initial relative degree of saturation, methods to consider boundary condition, and rainfall intensity and duration on water pressure in slopes. The finite element method with shear strength reduction technique was used to evaluate the stability of slopes under rainfall. The slope-related disasters in Korea usually occur between July and September during the typhoon and localized heavy rain. This means that the rainfall is the most important factor that leads to the slope-related disasters. The slope-related disasters can happen at very short time and lead to big damage. To forecast the change of the heave of the groundwater in slope the Seep/w program was used.

우리나라는 국토의 65%가 산악지형으로서 유역경사가 급한 특성으로 인해, 강우발생 시 유하시간의 감소로 인한 홍수피해와 도시화와 산업화로 인한 수질오염에 매우 취약한 실정이다. 수질관리의 일환으로 환경부에서는 '4대강 물관리종합대책'과 '물환경관리 기본계획' 등을 발표하며, 유역단위의 통합적 물관리를 실시하고 있다. 물환경관리 기본계획의 단위유역 단위의 목표수질 달성을 위한 중요 정책적 실행수단으로서 수질오염총량제가 있으며, 관리대상 오염물질로서는 BOD, T-P만을 대상으로 하고 있다. 하지만 최근 환경부에서는 기존 BOD 중심의 유기물질 관리의 한계 극복과 환경기준 선진화의 일환으로서 수질 목표기준에 TOC를 설정하고 생활환경 기준에 질소의 도입을 추진하는 등의 경향을 볼 때, BOD와 T-P 중심의 목표수질 관리에는 한계가 있다고 판단되며, 이에 따라 현행 관리 대상물질 외 수질항목에 대한 다양한 분석방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 청미천 본류의 환경부 물환경측정망 운영지점과 8개의 지류에 대해 2013년 6월부터 2015년 7월까지 8일 간격 수질 유량 자료에 대한 현장측정 자료를 이용하여 BOD, COD, SS 등 총 6개 수질항목에 대하여 FDC(Flow Duration Curve)와 초과율(Exceedance Rate) 분석을 실시하였다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로 각 지류에서 발생한 오염물질의 농도가 청미천 본류의 분류된 구간과 청미A 단위유역 말단에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다.

유역 내의 물순환 평가를 위하여 적합한 강우-유출모형을 선정하고 적용하는 것은 수문학적 관점에서 주된 과제이다. 장기적인 관점의 수자원 관리를 위해서는 직접적인 계측을 통해 장기간의 유출자료를 취득하는 방법이 있으나, 국내의 주요지점을 제외한 대다수의 중소규모의 지점에 계측기를 설치하는 것은 현실적으로 어려우므로, 자료취득이 비교적 용이하고 신뢰성이 높은 장기간 강우 자료를 강우-유출모형의 입력자료로 활용하여 미계측 유역으로의 모형을 확장하는 방안이 적절하다는 평가를 받고 있다. 본 연구는 국내외 주요 연속강우-유출모형의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 비교적 신뢰성 있는 자료를 보유하고 있는 소양강댐 유역에 다수의 연속강우-유출모형을 적용하였다. 모델링 결과로 산출된 유황곡선(flow duration curve)을 소양강댐 유입량과 비교하여 각 모형의 특징을 파악하고 유량에 따른 적합성 평가를 진행하였다. 또한, 향후 미계측유역으로 모형을 확장하기 위하여 매개변수 개수 및 재현능력을 동시에 평가하였다. 다수의 모형 중 적합성이 높은 모형들을 선별하였으며, 선별된 모형들의 불확실성을 고려함과 동시에 계층적 베이지안 기법을 활용하여 최종적으로 앙상블모형을 제시하였다. 앙상블모형을 단일 모형과 비교한 결과 단일 모형보다 개선된 성능을 확인하였다.

Background : Pleural effusion is a common disease in clinical practice but its effect on pulmonary function and altered pulmonary mechanics after removal of effusion are not still largely understood. Previous studies have shown that there is little or a relatively small improvement in pulmonary function and arterial blood oxygenation after therapeutic thoracentesis. The present study was designed to assess the effect on pulmonary function of pleural effusion and to test whether there was a significant improvement in pulmonary function and arterial oxygenation after thoracentesis and to observe long tenn effect after thoracentesis. Method : We examined flow-volume curve, body box and arterial blood gas analysis according to severity of effusion, present symptom, and symptom duration. Then, we measured changes of pulmonary function after thoracentesis and observed longterm effect after thoracentesis. Result: 1) Pleural effusion cause restrictive pulmonary insufficiency. Not only functional impairment of small airway but also large airway is provoked. 2) MMFR, FEV1, Raw, POz are earlier improved than FVC and TLC after thoracentesis and patients without complication have mild restrictive pulmonary insufficiency after longterm observation. 3) FVC, FEV1, & TLC are similarly restricted as severity of pleural effusion and po, is relatively decreased. 4) Cases with symptom duration 1 week or less and cases with dyspnea have more severe pulmonary insufficiency than others. 5) The flow volume curves show a relatively greater improvement in flow rates at large lung volumes than small airway. 6) Significant relationship is shown between first thoracentesis amount and changes of FEV1, FVC, TLC. Conclusion: Pleural effusion cause restrictive pulmonary insufficiency and not only functional impairment of small airway impairment but also large airway is provoked. Then, Pulmonary function is progressively improved after thoracentesis and remained mild restrictive pulmonary insufficiency after recovery.

This study aims to develop a regression model that estimates a low-flow index that can be applied to ungauged basins. A total of 30 midsized basins in South Korea use long-term runoff data provided by the National Integrated Water Management System (NIWMS) to calculate average low-flow, average minimum streamflow, and low-flow index duration and frequency. This information is used in the correlation analysis with 18 basin factors and 3 climate change factors to identify the basin area, average basin altitude, average basin slope, water system density, runoff curve number, annual evapotranspiration, and annual precipitation in the low-flow index regression model. This study evaluates the model's accuracy by using the root-mean-square error (RMSE) and the mean absolute error (MAE) for 10 ungauged, verified basins and compares them with the previous model's low-flow calculations to determine the effectiveness of the newly developed model. Comparative analysis indicates that the new regression model produces average low-flow, attributed to the consideration of varied basin and hydrologic factors during the new model's development.
