The total maximum daily load (TMDL) implemented in Korea mainly manages the mainstream considering a single common pollutant and river discharge, and the river system is divided into unit watersheds. Changes in the water quality of managed rivers owing to the water quality management in tributaries and unit watersheds are not considered when implementing the TMDL. In addition, it is difficult to consider the difference in the load of pollutants generated in the tributary depending on the conditions of the water quality change in each unit watershed, even if the target water quality was maintained in the managed water system. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the total maximum load management at tributaries to manage the pollution load of tributaries with a high degree of pollution. In this study, the HSPF model, a watershed runoff model, was applied to the target areas consisting of 53 sub-watersheds to analyze the effect of water quality changes the in tributaries on the mainstream. Sub-watersheds were selected from the three major areas of the Paldang water system, including the drainage basins of the downstream of the South Han-River, Gyeongan stream, and North Han-River. As a result, BOD ranged from 0.17 mg/L to 4.30 mg/L, and was generally high in tributaries and decreased in the downstream watershed. TP ranged from 0.02 mg/L - 0.22 mg/L, and the watersheds that had a large impact on urbanization and livestock industry were high, and the North Han-River basin was generally low. In addition, a pollution source reduction scenario was selected to analyze the change in water quality by the amount of pollution load discharged at each unit watershed. The reduction rate of BOD and TP according to the scenario changes was simulated higher in the watershed of the downstream of the North Han-River and downstream and midstream of the Gyeongan stream. It was found that the benefits of water quality reduction from each sub-watershed efforts to improve water quality are greatest in the middle and downstream of each main stream, and it is judged that it can be served as basic data for the management of total tributaries.

This study modifies the present total maximum daily load (TMDL) system of Ministry of Environment and applies to the Anyangcheon watershed. Hydrologic Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model is used to simulate both runoff and non-point source pollution, simultaneously, instead of QUAL2E. The drought flow (355th daily flow) is proposed for the target water quantity since it is easier to satisfy low flow (275th daily flow) for the target water quality than drought flow. The increase of discharge is more than the increase of pollutant load except for the period under low flow. The measured unit loads for non-point source are used to consider the regional runoff characteristics. The measured water quantity and quality data are used since the ministry of environment supports only water quality. This analysis results show some reasons for the improvement of the present TMDL system of Korea.

In South Korea, the concept of water environment was expanded to include aquatic ecosystems with the Integrated Water Management implementation. Watershed-scale modeling is typically performed for hydrologic component analysis, however, there is a need to expand to include ecosystem variability such that the modeling corresponds to the social and political issues around the water environment. For this to be viable, the modeling must account for several distinct features in South Korean watersheds. The modeling must provide reasonable estimations for peak flow rate and apply to paddy areas as they represent 11% of land use area and greatly influence groundwater levels during irrigation. These facts indicate that the modeling time intervals should be sub-daily and the hydrologic model must have sufficient power to process surface flow, subsurface flow, and baseflow. Thus, the features required for watershed-scale modeling are suggested in this study by way of review of frequently used hydrologic models including: Agricultural Policy/Environmental eXtender(APEX), Catchment hydrologic cycle analysis tool(CAT), Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN(HSPF), Spatio-Temporal River-basin Ecohydrology Analysis Model(STREAM), and Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT).

This study was carried out to analyze how the flow and water quality of the Sangsa Lake (juam control basin) change according to future climate change and what countermeasures are needed. Aquatic Ecosystem Model) was used in conjunction. As climate change scenarios, RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios of AR5 (5th Assessment Report) according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were used. For the climate change scenario, detailed data on the Sangsa Lake basin were used by the Korea Meteorological Administration, and after being evaluated as a correction and verification process for the 10-year period from 2012 to 2021, the present, 2025-2036, 2045- The summer period from June to August and the winter period from December to February were analyzed separately for each year by dividing it into 2056 and 2075-2086. RCP 8.5 was higher than RCP 4.5 as an arithmetic mean for the flow rate of the watershed of the superior lake for the entire simulation period, and TN and TP also showed a tendency to be higher at RCP 4.5. However, in RCP 8.5, the outflow of pollutants decreased during the dry season and the outflow of pollutants increased during the summer, indicating that the annual pollutant outflow was concentrated during the flood season, and it is analyzed that countermeasures are needed.

A watershed-river linked modeling system was developed to forecast the water quality, particularly weekly changes in chlorophyll-a concentration, of the Yeongsan River, Korea. Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) and Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) were adopted as the basic model framework. In this study, the EFDC model was modified to effectively simulate the operational condition and flow of multi-functional weirs constructed in the main channel of rivers. The model was tested against hydrologic, water quality and algal data collected at the right upstream sites of two weirs in 2014. The mean absolute errors (MAEs) of the model calibration on the annual variations of river stage, TN, TP, and algal concentration are 0.03 ~ 0.10 m, 0.65 ~ 0.67 mg/L, 0.03 ~ 0.04 mg/L, and $9.7{\sim}10.8mg/m^3$, respectively. On the other hand, the MAE values of forecasting results for chlorophyll-a level at the same sites in 2015 range from 18.7 to $22.4mg/m^3$, which are higher than those of model calibration. The increased errors in forecasting are mainly attributed to the higher uncertainties of weather forecasting data compared to the observed data used in model calibration.

TPLMS (Total water pollutant load management system) that is the most powerful water-quality protection program have been implemented since 2004. In the implementation of TPLMS, target water-quality and permissible discharged load from each unit watershed can be decided by water-quality modeling. And NPS (Non-point sources) discharge coefficients associated with certain (standard) flow are used on estimation of input data for model. National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) recommend NPS discharge coefficients as 0.15 (Q₂₇₅) and 0.50 (Q₁₈₅) in common for whole watershed in Korea. But, uniform coefficient is difficult to reflect various NPS characteristics of individual watershed. Monthly NPS discharge coefficients were predicted and estimated using surface flow and water-quality from HSPF watershed model in this study. Those coefficients were plotted in flow duration curve of study area (Palger stream and Geumho C watershed) with monthly average flow. Linear regression analysis was performed about NPS discharge coefficients of BOD, T-N and T-P associated with flow, and R² of regression were distributed in 0.893~0.930 (Palger stream) and 0.939~0.959 (Geumho C). NPS Discharge coefficient through regression can be estimated flexibly according to flow, and be considered characteristics of watershed with watershed model.

도시화로 인해 유역의 불투수면적이 증가함에 따라 수문학적 요소와 수질에 큰 변화를 가져왔다. 불투수면적의 증가는 강우시 지표유출의 증가, 토양층 침투 차단으로 인한 지하수 재충전 감소 및 지하수위 감소를 초래하여 결과적으로 기저유출을 감소시킨다. 이러한 증가된 불투수면적이 강우유출수의 수문 및 수질에 미치는 영향을 완화하기 위해 최근 저영향개발 (Low Impact Development; LID) 기법이 개발되어 적용되고 있다. LID 기법은 개발 이전의 수문순환 상태에 최대한 근사하도록 개발하는 기법으로 우수 유출 속도 감소, 유역에서의 저류, 침투 및 증발산 과정 촉진, 하류로의 오염물질을 저감시킨다. 효과적인 저영향개발 기법 적용을 위해서는 시설 설치 전 모형을 이용한 저영향개발 기법의 적용 효과를 파악해야 한다. 이에 따라 많은 저영향개발 기법 모형들이 개발되었으며, 그 중 SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) 모형이 LID 효과분석을 위해 많이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 SWMM 모형의 경우, 저영향개발 기법으로 모의되는 침투 후 토양 물 흐름이 토양의 수분 조건을 고려하지 않고 모의가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HSPF(Hydrological Simulation Program: FORTRAN) 모형을 이용하여 LID 시설 내에서의 저류현상을 구현하고 수문요소에 대한 영향을 분석하고자 한다. HSPF 모형의 입력자료를 구축하여 모형을 구축하고 LID 모형 적용 전에 모형의 보정 및 검정을 수행하였으며, LID 시설을 적용하여 유역내 수문요소들의 변화를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 LID 효과 분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

하구담수호는 하천의 종점에서 해양과 만나는 곳에 방조제를 건설해 담수를 유도하여 형성되는 인공호수이다. 유역 말단에 위치하기 때문에 유역에서 유출되는 모든 수자원을 확보할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 유역에서 발생하는 오염물질이 모두 유입되고 인공적인 담수의 특성 때문에 수질이 악화되기 쉬운 조건을 지니고 있다. 담수호의 수질관리는 유입되는 오염물질의 양이 많고 담수된 수자원량도 많으므로 부분적인 방법으로는 개선이 어려우며, 유역과 호소를 포함한 종합적인 대책이 필요하다. 담수호의 수질관리대책 수립은 크게 상류 유역에 대한 대책과 호소에 대한 대책으로 구분된다. 대표적인 대책으로는 상류 유역의 하수처리장, 축사, 농경지 관리를 통한 배출부하량 감소와 호소 내 수질개선을 위한 습지, 저류지 건설 및 준설을 통한 내부부하 감소 등이 있다. 이처럼 담수호의 수질관리를 위해서는 상류 유역에서 호소까지 종합적으로 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유역모형과 호소모형의 연계를 통해 간월호 유역을 모의하였다. 유역모형은 HSPF(Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN) 모형을 사용하였으며, 유역 내 3개의 하수처리장과 1개의 분뇨처리장을 고려하였으며, 4개 지점에 대하여 보정 및 검정을 시행하였다. 호소모형은 EFDC-WASP 연계모형을 이용하였으며, HSPF에서 모의 된 유입량과 호내 설치된 4개의 양수장, 배수갑문 운영일지를 고려하여 모의하였다. 호소 내 수질 측정지점에 대하여 T-N, T-P에 대하여 보정 및 검정을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 담수호 수질관리를 위한 분석시스템 구축으로 추후 대책에 따른 효과분석에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This study derived the analysis results of alternatives for integrated watershed management under urbanization and climate change scenarios. Climate change and urbanization scenarios were obtained by using SDSM (Statistical Downscaling Method) model and ICM (Impervious Cover Model), respectively. Alternatives for the Anyangcheon watershed are reuse of wastewater treatment plant effluent, and redevelopment of existing reservoir. Flow and BOD concentration duration curves were derived by using HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program - Fortran) model. As a result, low flow ($Q_{99},\;Q_{95},\;Q_{90}$) and BOD concentration ($Q_{10},\;Q_5,\;Q_1$) were very sensitive to the alternatives comparing to high flow($C_{30},\;C_{10},\;C_1$). Although urbanization makes the hydrological cycle distorted, effective alternatives can reduce its damage. The numbers of days to satisfy the instreamflow requirements and target water quality were also sensitive to urbanization. This result showed that the climate change and urbanization should be considered in the water resources/watershed and environmental planning.
