This study analyzes altitude changes of riverbed at 6 bridges in the upper and lower reaches of Yeongju Dam in Naeseong River, from 2009 to 2016 just before and after the dam construction. For 5 years from November 2010 to December 2015 when the dam was under construction, approximately 0.091m of the riverbed altitude in average more than twice before the dam construction was lowered, because of the effects of riverbed excavation for riverside maintenance in the upper reaches and transport limitation of flow and sediment by the dam in the lower reaches. Between November 2009 and December 2016 when the dam was in pre-construction and post-construction stages, respectively, the most sites in this study in the upper and lower reaches showed lowering in the riverbed altitudes. On the other hand, the riverbed around Hoeryongpo closed to the river mouth seems to be influenced by channel changes in Nakdong River rather than by the dam construction.
