One of the basic tasks in hydrological analysis is to delineate drainage basins and channel networks. Characteristics of channel networks and drainage basin parameters have been used widely in hydrologic calculation and modeling. DEMs(Digital Elevation Models) are generally used to automatically map the channel networks and to delineate drainage basins. This paper presents an effort to analyze basin characteristics using various DEMs. The quantitative analysis of channel networks begins with Horton's method of classifying stream according to Horton orders in hydro-geomorphy. HGSIS(Hydro-Geo-Spatial Information System) is possible to extract parameters. Usually, hydrologists. surveyors and GSIS researchers have some difficulties in accessing satellite images and in extracting DEMs from them. Therefore, the extracted DEMs from contours of digital map is widely used to have the basic works of hydrological analysis. This study presents proper DEMs to calculate Horton's orders, width function, drainage area, main channel length, total channel length, basin elevation and basin slope at digital map of 1:25,000 scale.

The stream morphological characteristics of a watershed play a significant role in the analysis of rainfall-runoff relations in a river basin and a quantitative description of these characteristics is essential for determining the appropriate values of physical parameters of a watershed which usually are input data for rainfall-runoff simulation models. In this study the stream morphological characteristics of the Gab River basin, which is one of the three major tributaries of Geum River, was determined quantitatively by the Horton-Strahler's method. The result showed that the Gab River System was developed very closely to the patterns generally described by the laws of Horton. The basic relations concerning the morphological characteristics deriveed in this study are the relations of stream length, and average stream slope, the stream length-drainage area relation, relative height-relative drainage area relation, and the relation between the proportional stream order and drainage area. No correlation analysis was possible between the morphological parameters and the streamflow due to non-existence of the stage gauging stations on the Gab River System.

The geometric properties of the drainage structures are analyzed through depicting the drainage network which is composed of the whole drainage paths in the natural basin defined at the specific scale. The theoretical consideration is performed on the general structures of networks organized by ramification process based on Fractal tree and Horton's law. The drainage network is generated via ArcGIS, ordered by Strahler's ordering scheme and investigated with Strahler's order. As a results of the Richardson's method it is shown that there may exist the distinct behavioral characteristics between overland-flow and channel flow and the natural stream networks would be space-filling Fractals. As a result, it is shown that the values estimated by considering the overland-flow on being applied to the field data give the different results from the empirical method applied until now. As expected, therefore the results obtained from this study are sure to be devoted further researches on the channel networks.

Infiltration is the process of water penetrating from the ground surface into soil. Infiltration plays an important role on affecting ground water surface and surface flow during rainy season. The amount of infiltration water would be decreased as the urbanization would increase. Such phenomenons would make streamflow decrease or stream run dry. In this study the cumulative infiltration and the infiltration capacity of ground surface have been determined by the field experiment at three sites in the Hankyong National University, Korea. Three type pervious pedestrian blocks of the cumulative infiltration and the infiltration capacity have also been determined at the same site of the ground surface. It has been shown that one of three type blocks in terms of infiltration capacity is almost same as that of ground surface. The Kostiakov type has been adopted to determine the cumulative infiltration and the infiltration capacity for each site. The Horton type has been also adopted to determine the cumulative infiltration and the infiltration capacity. The value of parameter k for each site is determined and soil type would be identified corresponding to the value of parameter.

하천형태학적 특성은 유역의 수문학적 특성 및 수리학적 특성과 밀접한 관계를 가진다. 본 논문은 하천형태학적 특성과 빈도유량 및 하도의 수리기하학적 특성간의 상관성을 금강수계를 대상으로 분석하였으며 이들 연구의 목적은 미계측지점에 대한 이수계획을 수립하는데 필요한 자료를 제공하는데 있다. 금강수계의 하천형태학적 특성분석은 Horton의 하천차수개념을 이용하여 하천지형의 3대 법칙에 의하여 분석하였으며 분석결과는 Horton의 법칙과 잘 일치하였다. 또한 유역특성과 수로특성간의 상관분석인 하천연장-유역면적관계와 상대고도-상대고도관계분석에서도 밀접한 상관성을 보여 주었다. 금강수계내의 5개수위표 지점에서 생기빈도 0.1~0.9의 유량자료를 사용하여 얻는 각 지점의 유량빈도곡선은 대체로 지수함수관계로 표시할 수 있었다. 하천형태학적 특성을 연속적으로 표시하기 위하여 비례하천차수를 도입하였으며 이를 이용하여 유량 = 생기빈도 - 비례하천차수간의 관계에 대한 수학적 모형을 정립하였다. 또한 서로 다른 두 축척에 따라 하천차수는 달라지나 하천형태학적 특성에 관한 Horton의 3대법칙에는 근본적으로 영향이 없음을 알 수 있었다. 유역의 하천형태학적 특성을 매개변수로 하여 빈도유량과 수리기하학적 인자간의 관계, 유역면적과 수리기하학적 인자간의 관계 및 연평균 유출용적과 수리기하학적 인자간의 관계를 분석하여 각각에 대한 수학적 모형을 제안하였다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the flood discharge and peak time by the SCS method and the probability method using the geomorpologic parameters obtained from the topographic maps following the law of stream classifying and, ordering by Horton and Strahler. The SCS method and the probability method are used in estimating the times to peak and the flood discharges at An-dong, Im-ha, and Sun-san basins in the Nakdong River system. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The range of the values of the area ratio, the bifurcation ratio and the length ratio agree with those of natural streams presented by Horton and Strahler. 2. Comparisons of the probability method and observed values show that small relative errors of 0-7% of flood discharge, and 0-2hr, difference in time to peak respectivly. But the SCS method shows that large relative errors of 10-40% of flood discharge, and 0-4hr, difference in time to peak. 3. When the rainfall intensity is large, the error of flood discharge estimated by using the probability method is relativly small.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the flood hydrograph and runoff at ungaged small watershed by using interactive program with geomorphologic and climatic data obtained from the topographic maps following the law of stream classification and ordering by Horton and Strahler. The present model is modified from Allam's interactive program which derives the geomorphologic instantaneous unit hydrograph(GIUH). This program uses the results of Laplace transformation and convolution integral of probability density function in travel time at each station, This program is used to estimate the time to peak, the flood discharge and the direct runoff at San seong station in Bocheong Stream.

In this paper the watershed is divided by stream order law of Horton to estimate the runoff with stream order. We use the contour data to extract spatially distributed topographical information like stream channels and networks of sub-basins. A contour model is developed, validated, and adopted to estimate the effective stream order number for the runoff. The results show that the peak discharge which is divided into first river order was close to observed one. The contour model will provide effective informations to plan river works classified by sub-basins for river restoration.

일반적으로 유역의 지형학적 특성을 나타내는 인자들은 유역면적, 유로연장, 유로경사 등 여러가지가 있다. Horton (1945)은 수계의 발달 형태에 기초한 하천의 차수를 이용하여 분기비, 길이비, 면적비, 하천 밀도 등 지형학적인 매개변수로 제시하였다. 유역 지형학적 매개변수는 Horton이 제시한 유역내 하도망의 지형학적인 구성에 대한 특성을 반영하는 것으로 유출에 지배적인 영향을 미친다. 한강 유역 19개 하천의 27개 지점을 대상으로 유출 특성과 지형학적 특성의 상관 분석을 위하여 유역과 하천의 지형학적 특성을 Arc-Map을 이용하여 구하였다. 하천차수법칙에 의한 지형학적인 매개변수로 분기비, 길이비, 함몰도, 면적비를 산정하였고, 유역의 지형학적 인자는 유역면적, 유로연장, 유로경사, 형상계수, 단일형상계수, 세장률, 수계밀도, 수계빈도를 산정하였다. 수계의 연간 유출률은 실측 유출량과 강수량 자료를 이용하여 산정하였다. 각각의 지형학적 특성인자에 대한 상관 매트릭스를 분석하고 그 상관특성을 분석하였다. 특히 지형학적 매개변수와 지형학적 요소와 연간 유출률과의 상관관계식을 제시하였다.
