Concentrated localized torrential rains due to global warming and climate change have resulted in much water damage each year. GIS is used as a tool for predicting the peak-outflows caused by these regional torrential rains in mountainous rivers. However, the research of the resolution of the data is limited, and most of approaches are about hydrological geographic. This paper estimates the flood discharge needed for decision of standard rainfall of automatic rainfall warning system by using GIS with GcIUH model, and establishes the criteria of flash flood warning. It also has analyzed the terrain in river basin, extracted the morphological characteristics parameters of water shed such as stream width, channel slope, channel length, shape factor, and GcIUH parameters, and analyzed the relationship between them.

국내에서는 빈약한 홍수량 자료로 인해 일반적으로 설계호우의 개념과 강우-유출해석을 통해 설계홍수량을 추정하여 이용하고 있다. 그러나 강수량 자료를 이용하여 강우-유출해석에 의해 유출량을 산정함으로써 설계홍수량을 추정하는 방법은 분석과정에서 불확실성이 높다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 강우-유출해석의 정확성을 높이기 위해 설계자의 주관성을 배제한 객관적인 입력변수 추정방법이 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 강우-유출해석을 수행하는 대신 지형인자와 기후인자로만 단위유량도 유도가 가능한 GcIUH(지형기후학적 순간단위도)를 국내 유역에 적용하고자 한다. 이를 위해 국립국토지리원에서 제공하는 1:25,000 유역도에서 추출된 최고차 하천의 길이 $L_{\Omega}$와 길이비 $R_L$를 산정하였다. GIS와 유역도로부터 산정된 각각의 $L_{\Omega}$와 $R_L$를 이용하여 지점별 단위도를 각각 유도하고, 유도된 단위도로부터 유출수문곡선을 계산하였다. 실제 지형도에 의해 산정된 GcIUH와 유역면적, 유역평균경사별 첨두유량, 그리고 첨두시간의 상관성을 비교 검토한 결과, 유역평균경사별 첨두유량이 상관성이 높게 나타났으며, 첨두시간은 유역면적이나 유역평균경사에 상관없이 비교적 정확하게 실측치와 일치하였다. 본 연구에서는 유역평균경사별 첨두유량의 상관성을 분석하여 GcIUH의 보정계수인 a를 도입하여, a 값을 유역평균경사별로 제시하였다.

This study is on the purpose of leading Geomorphoclimatic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph(GcIUH) by using GIS Techniques, and estimating trigger rainfall for predicting flash flood in Seolmacheon catchment, mountain river watershed. This study leads GcIUH by using GIS techniques, calculates NRCS-CN values for effective rainfall rate, and analyzes 2011 main rainfall events using estimated GcIUH. According to the results, the case of Memorial bridge does not exceed the amount of threshold runoff, however, the case of Sabang bridge shows that simulated peak flow, approximately $149.4m^3/s$, exceeds the threshold runoff. To estimate trigger rainfall, this study determines the depth of 50 year-frequency designed flood amount as a threshold water depth, and estimates trigger rainfall of flash flood in consideration of duration. Hereafter, this study will analyze various flood events, estimate the appropriateness of trigger rainfall as well as threshold runoff through this analysis, and develop prototype of Flash Flood Prediction System which is considered the characteristics of mountain river watershed on the basis of this estimation.

This paper focuses on minimizing flood damage in the Yeongdeok basin of South Korea by establishing a flood prediction model based on a geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing, and geomorphoclimatic instantaneous unit hydrograph (GcIUH) techniques. The GIS database for flash flood prediction was created using data from digital elevation models (DEMs), soil maps, and Landsat satellite imagery. Flood prediction was based on the peak discharge calculated at the sub-basin scale using hydrogeomorphologic techniques and the threshold runoff value. Using the developed flash flood prediction model, rainfall conditions with the potential to cause flooding were determined based on the cumulative rainfall for 20 minutes, considering rainfall duration, peak discharge, and flooding in the Yeongdeok basin.

This study analyzed several storm events observed in the Seolma-chun basin to derive the characteristic velocity of GIUH (Geomophological Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph) as well as its variability. Especially, this study focused on the variation of characteristic velocity due to the change of rainfall characteristics. The IUH of the Seolma-chun basin was derived using the HEC-1, whose peak discharge and time were then compared with those of the GIUH to derive the characteristic velocities. The characteristics velocities were analyzed by comparing with the GcIUH (Geomorphoclimatic IUH) as well as the characteristics of rainfall. Results are summarized as follows. (1) The characteristic velocity of GIUH was estimated higher with higher variability than the GcIUH, but their trends were found similar (2) Total amount of effective rainfall (or, mean effective rainfall) well explains the characteristic velocity of GIUH. This could be assured by the regression analysis, whose coefficient of determination was estimated about 0.6. (3) The duration and the maximum intensity of rainfall were found not to affect significantly on the characteristic velocity of GIUH. The coefficients of determination were estimated less than 0.3 for all cases considered. (4) For the rainfall events used in this study, the characteristic velocities of GIUH were found to follow the Gaussian distribution with its mean and the standard deviation 0.402 m/s and 0.173 m/s, respectively. Most of the values are within the range of 0.4∼0.5 m/s, and its coefficient of variation was estimated to be 0.43, much less than that of the runoff itself (about 1.0).

최근 GIS의 발달로 지리정보를 정확하게 분석한 후 각종 수리 해석에 활발히 적용되고 있다. 수문지형학(Hydrogeomorphology)은 Rodriguez-Iturbe(1971)가 유역의 지형학적 인자를 기초로 하여 순간단위도를 유도하는 방법을 제시하는 것을 시작으로 Rodriguez-Iturbe와 Gonzalez-Sanabria(1982)가 지형학적 순간단위유량도(GIUH, Geomorphologic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph) 매개변수와 유효우량만으로 함수를 표시하는 지형기후학적 순간단위유량도(GcIUH, Geomorphoclimatic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph)를 유도하여 오늘날까지 발전해 오고 있다. GIS를 활용한 돌발홍수 및 지형학적 지형 기후학적 순간단위도 유도 및 한계유출량에 관한 연구에서 Sweeney(1992)는 돌발홍수능의 표준적인 산정 알고리즘을 제시하였고, Carpenter 등(1999)은 GIS와 연계하여 돌발홍수능을 산정하는데 중요한 한계유출량 산정방법에 관해 연구하였으며, 국내에서는 김운태 등(2002)은 GIS를 이용한 미소유역 규모의 한계유출량 산정 시스템을 개발한 바 있으며, 황보종구(2007)는 국내 유역에 적합한 GcIUH 산정방안에 관한 연구를 수행한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술연구원에서 1995년부터 운영해 온 설마천 유역에 대하여 GIS 기법을 활용하여 강우-유출 해석시 GcIUH의 매개변수를 산정하여 유역에 적합한 돌발홍수 기준우량을 산정하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. GIS 기법의 적용결과를 통해 산정된 설마천 유역의 지형학적 특성은 <표 1>과 다음과 같다. 한편, 돌발홍수의 개념에서 한계유출량( )은 소하천의 제방을 월류하기 시작하여 홍수를 일으키기 시작할 때의 유효우량으로 정의되며, 유역전반에 걸쳐 균등하게 내리는 단위유효우량으로 인해 발생하는 직접유출 수문곡선이므로 제방이 가득 찬 상태의 유량 즉, 제방이 월류하기 시작할 때의 유량은 등류상태의 흐름을 해석하는 Manning의 공식으로부터 산정할 수 있으며(Chow et al., 1988), 설마천 유역의 경우 50년 빈도 홍수량에 해당하는 수위와 한계유량을 산정하였다. 향후 2011년 홍수 분석을 통해 한계유량 및 기준우량의 적합성을 평가하고 이를 바탕으로 설마천 유역의 돌발홍수예측을 위한 기준우량의 산정 등을 통해 산지 특성을 고려한 돌발홍수예측시스템 프로토타입을 개발하고자 한다.

A dynamic flood frequency analysis model was proposed for the frequency analysis in ungaged catchment and applied to 6 subbasins in Pyungchang River basin. As the dynamic flood frequency model requires precipitation, rainfall loss system, and runoff analysis, we adopt the rectangular pulse model, the SCS formula, and the geomorphoclimatic IUH(GcIUH) for the application. Input data for the analysis was borrowed from the results of the statistical flood frequency analysis using L-moment method for the same catchment, and then the return period was estimated using the model. This result was also compared with the return period estimated from the statistical analysis. By comparing with the results from two cases, we found the dynamic flood frequency analysis gave higher estimates than those from statistical analysis for the whole subbasins. However, the dynamic flood frequency analysis model has a potential to be used for determining the design flood for small hydraulic structure in ungaged catchment because it uses only physical parameters for flood frequency analysis. And this model can be easily applicable to other watersheds as the scale effect is negligible.

In this study, threshold runoff which is a hydrologic component of flash flood guidance(FFG) is estimated by using Manning's bankfull flow and Geomorphoclimatic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph(GcIUH) methods on Han River watershed. Geographic Information System(GIS) and 3' Digital Elevation Model database have been used to prepare the basin parameters of a very fine drainage area($1.02\~56.41km^2$), stream length and stream slope for threshold runoff computation. Also, cross-sectional data of basin and stream channel are collected for a statistical analysis of regional regression relationships and then those are used to estimate the stream parameters. The estimated threshold runoff values are ranged from 2 mm/h to 14 mm/6hr on Han River headwater basin with the 1-hour duration values are$97\%$ up to 8mm and the 6-hour values are $98\%$ up to 14mm. The sensitivity analysis shows that threshold runoff is more variative to the stream channel cross-sectional factors such as a stream slope, top width and friction slope than the drainage area. In comparisons between the computed threshold runoffs on this study area and the three other regions in the United States, the computed results on Han River watershed are reasonable.

The flood is the most general and frequently occurs among natural disasters. Generally flood by the rainfall which extends superexcellently for the occurrence but flash flood from severe rain storm gets up an absurd drowsiness at grade hour. This paper aims to 1 hour real-time flash flood and predict possibility at the area where is the possible flood will occur from the rainfall hour mountain after acquiring data in GIS(Geographic Information System) base by GcIUH(Geomorphoclimatic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph). The flash flood occurrence is set up at 0.5m, 0.7m and 1.0m in standard depth. And this study suggests standard flood alarm which designed by probable flood according to duration time. The research result shows real-time flash flood evaluation has the suitable standard in the basin when comparing with the existing official warning announcement system considering topographical information.

The GIUH (Geomorphologic Instantaneous Unit Hydrograph) is to be applied to the ungauged or insufficiently gauged basins. For tIris purpose, an accurate estimation of the charactenstlc velocity is one very important part, but any proper method for this has not been developed yet. In case that we have enough rainfall and runoff clata, the estimation of the characteristic velocity may be an easy job, but it is out of the purpose of the GIUH. Remindmg that the purpose of GIUH the characterisbc veloclty should be estimated based on the geomorpholog1c analysis and also be snnple for easy apphcation. In tIris research analysis cmd application of the GruH was given to several sub-basins in Wi-stream river basin, Gono, Donggok and Hyoryung. After deriving the characteristic velocity througn a optimizatlOn process with real data, it is compared w1th several velOCIties der1ved from geOlnoI1Jhoclimatic instantaneous unit hydrograph theory and several other concentration time formulae. The estimated charactenstic velocities using Kerby, Kim, KInematic Wave, and Brasby- Williams formulae found to g1ve the appropriate results. Hmvever, as the Kerby, and the Kinematic Wave require user's decision of the IvIanning's n value, the K1m and the Braby-Williams seem to be more applicable and recommended as characteristic velocity formula.
