The purpose of this study is to estimate the channel water loss of agricultural water supply in the command areas belong to Yechon irrigation channel of Gyeongcheon reservoir located Mungyeong-si, which area experienced a severe drought in 2015. The channel water loss was estimated by comparison of the irrigation water requirements (IWR) and agricultural water supply of the field data from 2012 to 2015. Further analysis was conducted to define the conveyance loss estimated based on the leakage holes and illegal pumping spots investigated through the field survey, and the distribution loss obtained by subtracting conveyance loss from the channel water loss. The annual rainfall decreased gradually, but the contribution of effective rainfall, available rain water to crop, increased to IWR during the study period. These phenomena resulted in the increase of agricultural water supply, and hence made greater the channel water loss simultaneously. The average channel water losses estimated as 36.8 % with 7.1 % of the conveyance loss and 29.7 % of distribution loss respectively. The distribution loss seems to be related to total number of rainy days, and irrigation schedules, while the conveyance loss was caused by irrigation channel aging conditions and illegal intake problems. In order to achieve sustainable agricultural water resources, the channel water loss needs to be reduced through the restoration of aged irrigation facilities and effective water managements in the fields.

In this study, we designed irrigation channel which meet function of waterquality purification and landscape as well as waterquantity using planting in Sanggye-ri Yeomsan-myeon Yeounggwang-gun Jeollanam-do. First, according to hydrology characteristic, irrigation channel is designed dividing three zone flood control zone, river-friendliness facilities zone and naturally favorable zone. Second, for designing planting, criterion of selecting plant is established. As a result, we designed planting dividing segment to harmony regional characteristic and landscape.

A water surface profile computation model using a standard step procedure was developed for gradually varied flow at an irrigation channel network. Flow characteristics ab Banweol district near Suweon were field monitored during irrigation periol of 1987. The model was applied to the main system at the district and the simulation results were compared to the field data. The results are sumrnarized as follows ; 1. The simulated water surface profiles from the model were in good agreement with the measured water surface profiles at different flow rates. 2. The model applicability for defining a stage-discharge relationship at a channel reach was demonstrated with reasonable accuracy when water stage and friction factor were given. 3. The roughness coefficient was found to be a major factor sigrificantly affecting computed water surface profile among a few physical input parameters for the model.

In 1980s, studies on the river environment and the management techniques to maintain the quality of water achieved actively. From the beginning of 1990s, the concept considering the river ecology and conservation in urban area have been introduced in Korea. Recently, some environment friendly projects on the rivers have been executed and some are under way. Many small rivers in rural areas have been maintained considering landscape and partly ecology. However until the pilot project named Songsam drainage channel project started in 1998, there were no studies and projects on the irrigation and drainage channels considering environment friendly maintenance. Korea Agricultural and Rural Infrastructure Corporation (KARICO) is going to introduce environment friendly and naturally favorable maintenance technique when the new projects to reform the irrigation and drainage channels are planned. Irrigation channel in O-dong project site in Yeomsan-myeon, Younggwang-gun was designed considering environment friendly consolidation and maintenance.

Drainage water in lowland paddy fields is quantitatively influenced recycle and/or repeated irrigation by irrigation facilities, i.e. pumps, check gates, small reservoirs and so on. In those drainage channels, nutrients accumulation and increasing organic matters are considered to be occurred, and water quality would be degraded not only environmental aspect but irrigation purpose. In general, Total Nitrogen (T-N) is interested water quality index in irrigation water, because high nitrogen concentration sometimes caused decreasing rice production by excess growth and fallen or degrading quality of taste, then, farmers would like to clear water less than 1mg/L of T-N concentration. In drainage channel, it is known that the nitrogen concentration change is influenced by physical, chemical and biological properties, i.e, stream or river bed condition, water temperature, other water quality index, and plant cover condition. In this study, discharge data (velocity and level) in a drainage channel was monitored by an Acoustic Doppler system and water quality was sampled at same time in 2011. So those data was analyzed by multi regression model to realize hydrological and environmental factors to influence with nitrogen concentration. The results showed the difference tendency between irrigation and non-irrigation period, and those influenced factors would be considered in water quality model developing in future.

Agricultural irrigation facilities are designed to storage, carriage, distribution and drainage water. Although those facilities may have different primary purposes, their technical functions are interrelated systematically. This Study aimed at developing the optimized object for integrated design for irrigation facilities. of reservoir and channel facilities, which are related by irrigation system design. So, total 17 elementary facility object was developed.

In this study, the availability of Schmidt hammer has been investigated as a reliable method to determine the quality of concrete in irrigation networks. For this purpose, the 28-day compressive strength of concrete material used in the construction irrigation channel of Bafra lowland, which is one of the most fertile plains in Turkey was examined by means of concrete compression and as well as concrete Schmidt hammer in laboratory conditions. This study was carried out on cylindrical samples to represent the everyday concrete party ($150m^3$) produced by contractor firm as 3 replications. The statistical analysis of experimental data showed that the correlations between the values of 28-day compressive strength of Schmidt hammer and the rebound number was found to be 0.98. Differences of the compressive strength between compression testing and Schmidt hammer were statistically significant at P<0.01. In this context, it was found that the reliability of compressive strength of the concrete compression test are excellent, also the reliability of compressive strength of Schmidt hammer are fair in assessing the quality of concrete irrigation channels.
