제주지역의 지하수 함양 지체시간을 분석하기 위해 18개 지점의 지하수 관측자료를 기초로 강수-지하수위 자료를 강수사상별로 분류하여 분석하였다. 지하수 함양에 결정적인 영향을 주는 인자로 지하수위의 대수층 두께와 지점의 투수계수를 설정하였다. 대체로 고도가 낮은 지역에서는 지하수 함양 지체가 짧았으나 고도가 높아질 수록 대수층 두께도 증가하여 지하수 함양지체시간은 길게 나타났다. 하지만 대수층 두께만으로 지체시간이 결정되는 것은 아니며 이에 투수계수 자료를 함께 분석해야만 타당한 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단하여 대수층 두께와 지점 투수계수를 변수로 두고 관측된 지하수 함양지체시간과의 관계를 다중선형회귀분석을 통해 구하였다. 다중상관계수는 0.9정도로 높게 나타났으며, 대수층 두께에 대한 통계학적 유의성도 적합하게 나타났다. 이와 같이 결정된 회귀식은 향후 지하수 함양지체시간의 공간분포를 결정함에 있어 활용이 가능하며 분포형 수문모형과 연계시킬 경우 통합모델링에 적절하게 반영될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구의 목적은 지표수-지하수 통합 모델을 통해 모델 영역과 시설농업단지(밀양들)의 지표수/지하수 유동을 모의하고 모델 영역의 물수지 분석을 통해 지하수 함양량을 산정하는 것이다. 지표수 유동 모델 결과에서는 밀양강 상류(북동쪽)에서 하류(남동쪽)로 약 1~5 m의 수심으로 지표수가 유동하고 있으며, 모델지역 상류의 M01 지점에서는 지표수 유량 관측값과 모델값이 일치하고, 모델지역 하류의 M02 지점에서의 지표수 유량은 1% 정도의 차이를 보인다. 지하수 유동 모델에서는 지하수 심도가 하천에서는 표고와 유사하며 산림 지역으로 갈수록 높아지고, 지하수 양수를 고려한 지하수 심도는 모델값이 관측값보다 1.5 m 이내의 범위로 높게 나타난다. 지표수지하수 통합모델에서는 지하수의 함양 면적이 모델 면적의 90% 정도이고, 지하수 함양량은 $1.92{\times}105m^3/day$인 것으로 나타난다. 연평균 물수지 분석에서는 단위 면적당 지하수 함양량이 503.9 mm/year로서 연평균 강우량의 39% 정도로 추정된다.

Data-driven models to predict groundwater levels 30 days in advance were developed for 12 groundwater monitoring stations in the middle-Jeju watershed, Jeju Island. Stacked long short-term memory (stacked-LSTM), a deep learning technique suitable for time series forecasting, was used for model development. Daily time series data from 2001 to 2022 for precipitation, groundwater usage amount, and groundwater level were considered. Various models were proposed that used different combinations of the input data types and varying lengths of previous time series data for each input variable. A general procedure for deep-learning-based model development is suggested based on consideration of the comparative validation results of the tested models. A model using precipitation, groundwater usage amount, and previous groundwater level data as input variables outperformed any model neglecting one or more of these data categories. Using extended sequences of these past data improved the predictions, possibly owing to the long delay time between precipitation and groundwater recharge, which results from the deep groundwater level in Jeju Island. However, limiting the range of considered groundwater usage data that significantly affected the groundwater level fluctuation (rather than using all the groundwater usage data) improved the performance of the predictive model. The developed models can predict the future groundwater level based on the current amount of precipitation and groundwater use. Therefore, the models provide information on the soundness of the aquifer system, which will help to prepare management plans to maintain appropriate groundwater quantities.

314 pumping test data of the National Groundwater Monitoring Wells (NGMWs) are analyzed to present statistical properties of fractured-rock and alluvial aquifers of Korea such as distribution of hydraulic conductivity, empirical relations between transmissivity and specific capacity, and time-drawdown patterns of pumping and recovery test. The mean hydraulic conductivity of alluvial aquifers (1.26 m/day) is 17 times greater than that of fractured-rock aquifers (0.076 m/day). Hydraulic conductivity of fracture-rock aquifers ranges in value over 4 orders of magnitude which coincide with representative values of fractured crystalline rocks and shows distinctive differences among rock types with the lowest values for metamorphic rocks and the highest values for sedimentary rocks. In consideration of the estimated transmissivity with some simplifying assumptions, it Is likely that $32\%$ of groundwater flow for NGMWs would occur through fractured-rock aquifers and $68\%$ through alluvial aquifers. Based on 314 pairs of data, empirical relations between transmissivity and specific capacity are presented for both fractured-rock and alluvial aquifers. Depending on time-drawdown patterns during pumping and recovery test, NGMWs are classified into $4\~5$ types. Most of NCMWs $(83.7\%)$ exhibit the recharge boundary type, which call be attributed to sources of water supply such as streams adjacent to the pumping well, the vertical groundwater flux between fractured-rock and the alluvial aquifers, and the delayed yield associated with gravity drainage occurring in unconfined aquifers.

The discharge characteristics of the Seodo Mulgol Spring-the only groundwater-producing area in Dokdo-were evaluated by measurements of discharge rate and electrical conductivity (EC) on five occasions. The Seodo Mulgol Spring is fed by rainfall in upstream areas of the Mulgol cave, and the rainwater of the area moves down along cooling joints developed in trachyandesite II and trachyte, finally discharging at the Mulgol cave. The discharge rate of the Seodo Mulgol Spring varied from 1.12 to 7.02 $m^3/d$ during the study period and EC varied from 2,650 to 3,390 ${\mu}S/cm$, showing a sharp increase during heavy rainfall. The observed variations in discharge rate and EC at the Seodo Mulgol Spring are attributed to the relatively short distance between the recharge area and the Mulgol cave, and to the rapid movement of groundwater through columnar joints developed in trachyandesite II and trachyte. Additional discharge measurements, combined with precise rainfall data, are required at Dokdo to elucidate the discharge characteristics of the Seodo Mulgol Spring.

A stochastic numerical analysis for predicting the groundswater fluctuations in hillside slopes is performed in this paper to account for the uncertainties associated with the rainfall and site characteristics. The effect of spatial variabilities of aquifer parameters and the effect of temporal variability of recharge on the groundwater fluctuations are studied in depth. The Kriging is used to account for the spatial tariabilities of aquifer parameters. This technique prolevides the best linear unbiased estimator of a parameter and its minimum variance from a litsitem number of measured data. A stochastic one-dimensional numerical model is delreloped b) combining the groundwater flow model, the Kriging, and the first-order second-moment analysis. In addition, a two dimensional detelministic groundwater model is developed to study the change of ground water surfas in the transverse direction as well as in the downslope direction. It is revealed that the undulations of the impervious bedrock in addition to the permeability and the specific yield have an important influence on the fluctuations of the groundwater surface. It is also found that th'e groundwater changes significantly in the transverse direction as well as in the downslope direction. The results obtained in this analysis may be used for evaluation of landslide risks due to high porewater pressure.

The block-scale groundwater flow system at Olkiluoto site in Finland was simulated. The heterogeneous and anisotropic hydraulic conductivity field for the domain was constructed from the discrete fracture network, which considered only the fractured zones identified in the deep boreholes installed in the study site. The groundwater flow model was calibrated by adjusting the recharge rate and the transmissivities of the fractured zones to fit the calculated hydraulic heads and into- and out-flow rates in the observation intervals of the boreholes with the observed ones. In the calibrated model, the calculated flow rates at some intervals were not in accordance with the observed ones although the calculated hydraulic heads fit well with the observed ones, which revealed that the number of the conduits for groundwater flow is insufficient in the conceptual model for groundwater flow modeling. Therefore, it was recommended that the potential local conduits such as background fractures should be added to the present conceptual model.

Artificial recharge technology is a method for solving problems such as groundwater level drop and ground subsidence caused by groundwater withdrawal. This study investigated the applicability of using the hydraulic conductivity of an aquifer to predict injection test results for aquifer restoration. Pumping and injection tests were performed under the same conditions as those for the artificial injection facility located in Icheon, Gyeonggi-do. The hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, which plays a decisive role in restoring the groundwater level, was derived from the pumping test. A numerical model of a simplified on-site aquifer was constructed, and a transient analysis was applied with the same conditions as the pumping test. The correlation between the measured and the resulting model values is strong (R² = 0.78). The injection test was performed in a sedimentary layer composed of silt sand and clay sand. From the results of the injection test, an empirical formula was derived using Theim's formula, which is a common well analysis solution to determine the parameters of the aquifer from time-level data. The model values from the empirical formula have a high degree of correlation (R² = 0.99) with measured values. Under specific conditions, for areas where it is difficult to conduct an injection test, the formula from this study, which relies on the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer determined through the pumping test, may be used to predict reliable injection rates for groundwater restoration.

Excess pumping on the river bank filtration well causes the over drawdown in the protected area of bank, which may make many problems such as soil water contents, Pumping head in the irrigated land, and it needs more irrigation and development of the deeper irrigating well. In this study the installation of the artificial recharging well was suggested to reduce the excess draw down in the protected land. Artificial recharging wells were applied at the bank filtration site of Changwon city by using Visual-MODFLDW. The optimized conditions are calculated that the recharging well is located about loom apart from the pumping well, and the recharging rate is $5\%$ of the pumping yield.

For hydrogeological studies, it is of importance to observe hydraulic head in order to interpret groundwater flow, characterize aquifers, and calibrate groundwater flow model. This study analyzed the zonal variation of hydraulic heads at the eight monitoring wells (GM-1~GM-8) installed with multi-packers in a coastal area and verified vertical and lateral trends of the hydraulic gradients. Hydraulic heads were expressed as the depth of water because the monitoring wells have different depths. The hydraulic gradient at the nearest well (GM-5) shows 0.0142 with increasing trend of hydraulic gradient along depth. This fact indicates typical phenomenon of the discharge area. On the other hand, GM-1 and GM-2 wells in coastal area demonstrate constant hydraulic gradient down to the depth of 100 meters while at the zone of deeper than 100 m the hydraulic gradients illustrate 0.0196 and 0.0735, respectively. This indicates that horizontal flow is dominant at shallower zone than 100 m whereas upward flow is dominant at the zone deeper than 100 m. GM-3 well located farther than the other wells from the coast shows a small hydraulic gradient of 0.0046 that evidences a prevalent horizontal flow between the recharge area and the discharge area.
