This is about an environmental study of groundwater interference by hydrodynamic dispersion between the well A and well C in Dongsam-dong, the Yeongdo Island, Pusan, Korea. The groundwater in the study wells come from the fracture zones deeply seated in welded lapilli rhyodacitic tuff of the Late Cretaceous Yucheon Group. The boring depth at the well A is 190 meters, and the optimal pumping rate of the well A is about 100 cubic meters per day therein. The fractured aquifers in impermeable welded tuff show the conjugate fracturing type and are of anisotropic. The aquifers along two fracture zones in the well A are 80 and 100 meters in depth, respectively. It is not suggested that those fractured aquifers are simply connected between the well A and C. The sea level fluctuation by ebb and high tides in a day is not effective to the groundwater table in the well A. The pumping for 15 days at the well A doesn't give rise to any changes of the groundwater levels in the neighbor well C. The radius of influence of the well A is measured as less than 200 meters. The measuring electric conductivity for the test of salt tracer doesn't testify any relationship between the well A and the well C. There is the main difference between the well A and the well C on the basis of the water analysis of those wells. the well A is located in the high content zone of salt much over the standard value for drinking, whereas the other wells B. C. D are in the low content area of salt below the standard value. It is elucidated for the high content zone of salt in Yeongdo around the well A to have been uplifted over 20 meters.

Unconsolidated and permeable alluvial deposit composed of sand and gravel is distributed along the fluvial plain at the Iryong study area. Previous studies on the area show that a single alluvial well can produce at least 1,650m3d-1 of bank infilterated shallow groundwater(BIGW) from the deposit. This study is aimed to evaluate and simulate the influence that seasonal variation of water levels and temperatures of the river have an effect on those of BIGW under the pumping condition and also to compare seasonal variation of COPs when indirectly pumped BIGW or directly pumped surface water are used for a water to water heat pump system as an heat source and sink using 3 D flow and heat transport model of Feflow. The result shows that the magnitude influenced to water level of BIGW by fluctuation of river water level in summer and winter is about 48% and 75% of Nakdong river water level separately. Seasonal change of river water temperature is about $23.7^{\circ}C$, on other hand that of BIGW is only $3.8^{\circ}C$. The seasonal temperatures of BIGW are ranged from minimum $14.5^{\circ}C$ in cold winter(January) and maximum $18.3^{\circ}C$ in hot summer(July). It stands for that BIGW is a good source of heat energy for heating and cooling system owing to maintaining quite similar temperature($16^{\circ}C$) of background shallow groundwater. Average COPh in winter time and COPc in summer time of BIGW and surface water are estimated about 3.95, 3.5, and about 6.16 and 4.81 respectively. It clearly indicates that coefficient of performance of heat pump system using BIGW are higher than 12.9% in winter time and 28.1% in summer time in comparision with those of surface water.

제주도의 연평균 강수량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있으나 강우일수는 감소하는 추세로 기후변화에 의한 가뭄재해 피해가 우려되고 있다. 제주도는 전체 수자원의 대부분을 지하수로 사용되어 면적 대비 많은 지하수관정이 개발 이용되고 있으며, 용수이용에 따른 고갈 및 오염이 발생되지 않도록 분석 관리가 필요한 지역이다. 제주지역의 지하수위는 계절적 변동특성이 확연히 나타나지만 평시에는 큰 변동이 없는 지하수위 수준을 보이며, 실제 지하수 이용률은 허가량의 30%이하로 양수에 의한 지하수위변동은 크게 체감되지 못하고 있다. 그러나 극심한 가뭄재해 발생 시 기존 사용량을 초과 양수하는 문제가 발생하여 지하수위는 급격하게 하강되고, 제주 수자원관리에 문제가 발생될 것으로 지속적인 지하수 개발이 지하수위에 미치는 영향에 대하여 정량적인 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지하수 유동 및 수위변동 분석이 가능한 수치해석 모형을 이용하여 제주도 성산유역을 대상으로 1993년부터 2013년까지 10년 주기 양수에 따른 지하수위 하강 특성을 분석하였다. 1993년 이전 개발된 지하수관정은 55개소, 2003년까지 개발된 지하수관정은 108개소로 지하수 개발은 약 1.9배 증가되었으나 양수능력을 적용하여 지하수위 변동을 분석한 결과 2.5배~3.1배 하강되는 것으로 확인되었다. 2003년부터 2013년까지 지하수 개발은 유역 상부에 집중되었으며 상류부 지하수 양수에 따라 해안지역의 지하수위까지 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다.

This study is to evaluate the applicability of SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model for multi-purpose dams and multi-function weirs operation in Namhan river basin ($12,577km^2$) of South Korea. The SWAT was calibrated (2005 ~ 2009) and validated (2010 ~ 2014) considering of 4 multi-purpose dams and 3 multi-function weirs using daily observed dam inflow and storage, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and groundwater level data. Firstly, the dam inflow was calibrated by the five steps; (step 1) the physical rate between total runoff and evapotranspiration was controlled by ESCO, (step 2) the peak runoff was calibrated by CN, OV_N, and CH_N, (step 3) the baseflow was calibrated by GW_DELAY, (step 4) the recession curve of baseflow was calibrated by ALPHA_BF, (step 5) the flux between lateral flow and return flow was controlled by SOL_AWC and SOL_K, and (step 6) the flux between reevaporation and return flow was controlled by REVAPMN and GW_REVAP. Secondly, for the storage water level calibration, the SWAT emergency and principle spillway were applied for water level from design flood level to restricted water level for dam and from maximum to management water level for weir respectively. Finally, the parameters for evapotranspiration (ESCO), soil water (SOL_AWC) and groundwater level fluctuation (GWQMN, ALPHA_BF) were repeatedly adjusted by trial error method. For the dam inflow, the determination coefficient $R^2$ was above 0.80. The average Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) was from 0.59 to 0.88 and the RMSE was from 3.3 mm/day to 8.6 mm/day respectively. For the water balance performance, the PBIAS was between 9.4 and 21.4 %. For the dam storage volume, the $R^2$ was above 0.63 and the PBIAS was between 6.3 and 13.5 % respectively. The average $R^2$ for evapotranspiration and soil moisture at CM (Cheongmicheon) site was 0.72 and 0.78, and the average $R^2$ for groundwater level was 0.59 and 0.60 at 2 YP (Yangpyeong) sites.

Drought indices, such as PDSI (palmer Drought Severity Index), SWSI (Surface Water Supply Index) and SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index), have been developed to assess and forecast an intensity of drought. To find the applicability of groundwater level data to a drought assessment, a correlation analysis between SPI and groundwater levels was conducted for each time series at a drought season in 2001. The comparative results between SPI and groundwater levels of shallow wells of three national groundwater monitoring stations, Chungju Gageum, Yangpyung Gaegun, and Yeongju Munjeong, show that these two factors are highly correlated. In case of SPI with a duration of 1 month, cross-correlation coefficients between two factors are 0.843 at Chungju Gageum, 0.825 at Yangpyung Gaegun, and 0.737 at Yeongju Munjeong. The time lag between peak values of two factors is nearly zero in case of SPI with a duration of 1 month, which means that groundwater level fluctuation is similar to SPI values. Moreover, in case of SPI with a duration of 3 month, it is found that groundwater level can be a leading indicator to predict the SPI values I week later. Some of the national groundwater monitoring stations can be designated as DIW (Drought Index Well) based on the detailed survey of site characteristics and also new DIWs need to be drilled to assess and forecast the drought in this country.

In Korea, there have been various methods of estimating groundwater recharge which generally can be subdivided into three types: baseflow separation method by means of groundwater recession curve, water budget analysis based on lumped conceptual model in watershed, and water table fluctuation method (WTF) by using the data from groundwater monitoring wells. However, groundwater recharge rate shows the spatial-temporal variability due to climatic condition, land use and hydrogeological heterogeneity, so these methods have various limits to deal with these characteristics. To overcome these limitations, we present a new method of estimating recharge based on water balance components from the SWAT-MODFLOW which is an integrated surface-ground water model. Groundwater levels in the interest area close to the stream have dynamics similar to stream flow, whereas levels further upslope respond to precipitation with a delay. As these behaviours are related to the physical process of recharge, it is needed to account for the time delay in aquifer recharge once the water exits the soil profile to represent these features. In SWAT, a single linear reservoir storage module with an exponential decay weighting function is used to compute the recharge from soil to aquifer on a given day. However, this module has some limitations expressing recharge variation when the delay time is too long and transient recharge trend does not match to the groundwater table time series, the multi-reservoir storage routing module which represents more realistic time delay through vadose zone is newly suggested in this study. In this module, the parameter related to the delay time should be optimized by checking the correlation between simulated recharge and observed groundwater levels. The final step of this procedure is to compare simulated groundwater table with observed one as well as to compare simulated watershed runoff with observed one. This method is applied to Mihocheon watershed in Korea for the purpose of testing the procedure of proper estimation of spatio-temporal groundwater recharge distribution. As the newly suggested method of estimating recharge has the advantages of effectiveness of watershed model as well as the accuracy of WTF method, the estimated daily recharge rate would be an advanced quantity reflecting the heterogeneity of hydrogeology, climatic condition, land use as well as physical behaviour of water in soil layers and aquifers.

At the initial stage of the underground reservoir design one should thoroughly consider surface and subsurface hydrology, hydrogeologic characteristics of aquifer system, and the function of cut - off wall because it is linked to the effective management. In this study, three dimensional finite difference model was applied to analyse the function of Ian underground reservoir at Kyungbuk Province. The steady and unsteady state conditions after construction of the underground dam were simulated through the model, and from these results the groundwater budget and the safe yield were determined. The model simulation indicates the infiltration of irrigation water to be one of the major factors of seasonal fluctuation of groundwater level. The recharge rates of irrigation water were estimated as 4.3mm/d during May and June, and 1.7mm/d during July and Agust. Groundwater recharge from the watershed area estimated to about $0.04m^3/s$, almost consistent through the year. In 1984, groundwater discharge through the transverse section of the dam was $0.002m^3/s$ and the optimum yield for two momths(July and Aguest)was $254000m^3$, however, the discharge became $0.013m^3/s$ in1993, implying the failure of cut -off function. without appropaiate of the cut - off wall, optiumum yield during the irrigaton period would be $93, 000m^3$.

수문순환의 측면에서 지하수는 지속적인 하천의 흐름을 유지하고, 국내 물 이용의 측면에서 가용수량을 만족할 수 있는 취수량을 확보하기가 어려운 중·소규모 하천 유역에서 필요한 농업 및 생활용수 등 각종 용수를 확보할 수 있는 중요한 수원으로써의 역할을 하고 있다. 기존의 수자원 정책은 하천에서의 취수량 확보를 위한 수공 구조물의 설치 및 운영을 통한 용수 확보의 형태로 입안되었으나, 최근 2012~2018 한반도 가뭄 사태로 대표되는 강수 패턴의 변화로 인하여 하천에서의 취수량 부족 사태에 대응하기 위하여 지표수-지하수 연계를 고려한 수원 확보에 대한 정책적·공학적 관심과 요구가 증가하고 있다. 지하수의 효율적 운영과 안정적 관리를 위해서 지하수 이용에 대한 관리도 중요하나, 강수 사상의 발생 시 지하수 함양량을 정량적으로 평가하는 것 또한 매우 중요하다. 지하수 함양량은 강수량이나 하천유량 및 수위 등과 같이 정확한 양을 관측하기 어렵기 때문에 지하수 함양량을 산정하는 방법은 매우 다양하게 제시되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하수 함양량 산정 방법 중 비교적 간단한 방식의 지하수위 변동법(Water Table Fluctuation Method, WTF Method)를 이용하여 전국 행정구역 별 지하수 함양량을 분석하였다. 지하수위 변동법의 경우 신뢰도 있는 지하수위 관측 자료의 확보가 매우 중요한 단계이기 때문에 국가지하수관측망 및 농촌지하수 관측망, 해수침투관측망 등 공공기관에서 제공하고 있는 지하수위 관측 자료를 수집하여 적용하였다. 수집된 자료를 바탕으로 지하수 함양량을 산정하고, 최근 국내의 강수패턴의 변화와의 비교 분석을 통해 강수와 지하수 함양 간의 관계를 정량적으로 제시하였다. 본 연구의 연구 결과는 안정적인 지하수 개발 및 관리를 위한 기초적인 정책적 판단 근거로써 제시될 수 있고, 추후 연구에서 지하수위 회복 및 지하수자원 관리 방안 적용에 따른 효과 분석 연구에 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

We present the results of electrical resistivity surveys carried out to estimate the seasonal variation of the water table level in a large-scale landslide area of Tertiary geology in Japan. One long profile, trending NE-SW, was established perpendicular to the main regional geology of the region. Three boreholes are located very close to the profile. The profile was surveyed twice, once before snowfall and once after snow had melted. The relationship between resistivity and water saturation of pyroclastic materials was clarified through laboratory tests. We did this in order to estimate the water content of the pyroclastic layer from the observed resistivity distribution in the landslide area. The resistivity of the saturated pyroclastic deposit calculated using an empirical formula was found to be $570{\Omega}.m$. Based on this computed resistivity, the groundwater level was deduced by assuming that the pyroclastic deposits were fully saturated beneath the water table. We show that the estimated water table before snowfall is lower than that inferred after snow has melted, by about 1.1 to 4.7 m. This suggests that the water table in the upper part of the pyroclastic layer in the landslide area fluctuates greatly, compared to the lower part. This seasonal groundwater fluctuation is possibly caused by the infiltration of water into the subsurface after snowmelt.

Slug tests are the most widely used field method for quantification of hydraulic conductivity of porous media. Well recovery is affected by well casing, borehole radii, screened length, hydraulic conductivity, and specific storage of porous media. In this study, a new slug tests model was developed through finite element approximation and the validity and usefulness of the model were tested in various ways. Water level fluctuation in a well under slug test and cons-equent groundwater flow in the surrounding porous medium were appropriately coupled through estimation of well-flux using an iteration technique. Numerical accuracy of the model was verified using the Cooper et al. (1967) solution. The model has advantages in simulations for monitored slug tests, partial penetration, and inclusion of storage factor. Volume coverage of slug tests is significantly affected by storage factor. Magnitude and speed of propagation of head changes from a well increases as storage factor becomes low. It will be beneficial to use type curves of monitored head transients in the surrounding porous formation for estimation of specific storage. As the vertical component of groundwater flow is enhanced, the influence of storage factor on well recovery decreases. For a radial-vertical flow around a partially penetrated well, deviations between hydraulic estimates by various methods and data selection of recovery curve are negligible on practical purposes, whereas the deviations are somewhat significant for a radial flow.
