When water shortage has been getting worse recently, toilet water-saving is one of the most effective way to solve the water shortage. Therefore, in this study, toilet flushing performance was investigated with VOF(Volume Of Fluid) model to obtain the basic design data for the development of high-efficiency toilets. The result showed that the shorter trapway, the longer the flushing duration time. However, the shorter trapway is found to have disadvantage in exhausting dirt due to relatively weak siphon and higher curvature. Since the remaining water in a trapway appears to help siphon, it is also an important factor in developing high-efficiency toilets. Although higher water level in the water tank shows better performance in flushing, lower water level is preferred to save water. Too low water level may cause dirt to clog the trapway due to relatively weak siphon.

In this paper, we proposed a river water level detection and tracking of the river or dams based on image processing system. In past, most of the water level detection system used various water sensors. Those water sensors works perfectly but have many drawbacks such as high cost and harsh weather. Water level monitoring system helps in forecasting early river disasters and maintenance of the water body area. However, the early river disaster warning system introduces many conflicting requirements. Surveillance camera based water level detection system depends on either the area of interest from the water body or on optical flow algorithm. This proposed system is focused on water scaling area of a river or dam to detect water level. After the detection of scale area from water body, the proposed algorithm will immediately focus on the digits available on that area. Using the numbers on the scale, water level of the river is predicted. This proposed system is successfully tested on different water bodies to detect the water level area and predicted the water level.

2006~2008년 동안 새만금 간척지에서 조성된 인공 염생식물 군락지와 새만금 방조제 배수갑문 수위 관리의 연관성을 밝히기 위해 배수갑문 수위특성 및 사유, 염생식물 군락지의 공간적인 분포와 형성 과정, 수위변화에 따른 염생식물 분포공간분석을 시도하였다. 배수갑문 수위조절의 특성을 분석한 결과, 파종 후 생장기의 평균수위와 연평균 수위와의 차이는 유사했으며, 연간 최저수위 및 최고수위가 파종 후 생장기에 나타났다. 3년동안 4,315만$m^2$에 염생식물 군락지가 형성되었으며 총 2,673만$m^2$에 대해 인공적인 염생식물 군락 조성이 시도되어 291만$m^2$을 제외한 표고 약 1m 이상의 2,382만$m^2$(89.1%)에 염생식물 군락지가 형성된 것으로 추정되었다. 파종지역 염생식물 군락지 형성에서 해수의 평균수위나 최저수위보다도 최고수위가 결정적인 요인으로 작용하였으며, 경운 및 토양 피막 여부가 군락지 형성의 2차적인 요인으로 작용한 것으로 보인다.

As the need for predicting the flood stage of river from torrential downpouring caused by climate change is increasingly emphasized, the study, centered on the area of Gangwon-do Inje-gun and Jeongseon-gun of local river, is to develop peak water level regression equation by rainfall. Through the correlation between rainfall and peak water level, it is confirmed that rainfall according to duration and peak water level have a high correlation coefficient. Based on this, a relational expression of rainfall and peak water level is verified and then the adequacy of the calculated expression is analyzed and the result shows that a very accurate prediction is not easy to achieve but a rough prediction of the change of water level at each point is possible.

본 연구에서는 도시하천을 대상으로 Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS)에 의한 모의발생 기법 적용으로 최적화된 강우-유출 모형과 홍수위 추적모형 연계를 통한 고수위 Rating Curve 작성법을 제안하였다. 대상유역의 관측 자료로부터 작성된 수위-유량곡선식은 유량측정의 오차와 더불어 고수위에 대한 불확실성을 내포하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 관측치와의 표준오차($S_e$)는 0.056으로, 무작위 불확실성($2S_{mr}$)은 평균 ${\pm}1.43%$, 최대 ${\pm}4.27%$로 분석되었다. 또한, 전대수지법과 Stevens방법에 의한 고수위 연장은 도시하천 유역 규모에 비하여 수위에 따른 홍수량이 과대 산정되는 문제점이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 마지막으로, MCS에 의한 다량의 수문자료군 확보를 통한 수위-유량 관계곡선의 연장방법은 고수위에 대한 불확실성을 감소시켜며, 보다 신뢰성 있는 고수위 연장이 가능하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과는 MCS에 의한 고수위 연장 시스템 구축을 통한 도시하천유역의 실시간 홍수 예 경보 활용에 적용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to understand the high saline water phenomenon of Handong-ri area in the eastern coast of Jeju Island, were investigate the tidal effect of groundwater level, variation of electric conductivity and temperature, geological logging on the monitoring wells, chemical water quality, and ratios of oxygen istope of groundwater and seawater Results in investigating variation of interface zone of freshwater and saline water represented that the hyaloclastites formed at below groundwater table is developing toward the coast; this area consisted of stratum of good permeability. Hyaloclastites is presumed the main path of the high salinity water There are a lot of movement by the tide at upper layer. Salinity of lower layer spreads to upper up step in proportion to tidal energy. Because of hydrogeological characteristics, Interface zone of freshwater and saline water is made, High salinity of groundwater occur in east coastal area of Jeju Island. Therefore, I think that high saline groundwater phenomenon is natural condition by simple mixing.

The surges caused by the typhoon of Korea are analysed in Kwangyang Bay. The deviations of the high water level were $74{\sim}185cm$ and the maximum deviations of the water level (maximum surges) were $151{\sim}240cm$ in Kwangyang Bay during the typhoon. The major parameters of the maximum deviations of the water level are as follows : Analysis shows that the pressure drop increased the sea level by $43{\sim}59cm$, the flood of the Sumjin River by $4{\sim}5cm$ and the external surge propagation and wind setup by $97{\sim}192cm$.

Water body extraction based on backscatter information is an essential process to analyze floodaffected areas from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image. Water body in SAR image tends to have low backscatter values due to homogeneous surface of water, while non-water body has higher backscatter values than water body. Non-water body, however, may also have low backscatter values in high resolution SAR image such as Kompsat-5 image, depending on surface characteristic of the ground. The objective of this paper is to present a method to increase backscatter contrast between water body and non-water body and also to remove efficiently misclassified pixels beyond true water body area. We create an entropy image using a Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and classify the entropy image into water body and non-water body pixels by thresholding of the entropy image. In order to reduce the effect of threshold value, we also propose Water Body Texture Index (WBTI), which measures simultaneously the occurrence of repeated water body pixel pair and the uniformity of water body in the binary entropy image. The proposed method produced high overall accuracy of 99.00% and Kappa coefficient of 90.38% in water body extraction using Kompsat-5 image. The accuracy analysis indicates that the proposed WBTI method is less affected by the choice of threshold value and successfully maintains high overall accuracy and Kappa coefficient in wide threshold range.

Nepal is bestowed with abundant water. With more than 1500 mm average annual rainfall in the country, a vast quantity of underutilized groundwater in the Terai belt, and the water stored in snowcaps in the Himalayas, aquifers in the mountains and glacial lakes, Nepal is potentially in an advantageous position in terms of per capita availability. However, low emphasis in management aspect of water and high emphasis in infrastructural developments related to water resources management has resulted in conversion of water in Nepal from a resource to a burden. The global climate change, reduction in number of rainy days, increase in intensity of rainfall during wet monsoon season, encroachment of river banks for settlement, inadequate release of environmental flows from hydropower plants, and attempt to tame the mighty and high velocity rivers of Nepal have resulted in increasing number of water induced disasters (flood and landslide), rise in conflict between local residents and hydropower developers, higher number of devastating landslides, and in some extreme cases mass migration of residents resulting in climate refugees. There is a ray of hope; the awareness level of the people regarding sustainable use of water resources is increasing, the benefit sharing mechanism is gradually being implemented, the role of interdisciplinary and integrated water resources management is appreciated at a higher level and the level of preparedness against flood and landslides is at a higher degree compared to a couple of decades ago. With the use of renewable energy sources, the possibilities for sustainable and productive use of water are on the rise in Nepal.
