Groundwater flow in a basin is greatly affected by many hydrogeological and hydrological characteristics of the basin. A groundwater flow model for the Kap-cheon basin ($area=648.3km^2$) in the Geum river basin was established using MODFLOW by fully considering major features obtained from observed data of 438 wells and 24 streams. Furthermore, spatial groundwater recharge distribution was estimated employing accurately calibrated watershed model developed using SWAT, a physically semi-distributed hydrological model. Model calibration using observed groundwater head data at 86 observation wells yielded the deterministic coefficient of 0.99 and the water budget discrepancy of 0.57%, indicating that the model well represented the regional groundwater flow in the Kap-cheon basin. Model simulation results showed that groundwater flow in the basin was strongly influenced by such factors as topological features, aquifer characteristics and streams. The streams in mountainous areas were found to alternate gaining and losing steams, while the streams in the vicinity of the mid-stream and down-stream, especially near the junction of Kap-cheon and Yudeong-cheon, areas were mostly appeared as gaining streams. Analysis of water budget showed that streams in mountainous areas except for the mid-stream and up-stream of Yudeong-cheon were mostly fed by groundwater recharge while the streams in the mid and down-stream areas were supplied from groundwater inflows from adjacent sub-basins. Hence, it was concluded that the interactions between surface water-groundwater in the Kap-cheon basin would be strongly inter-connected with not only streams but also groundwater flow system itself.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the features of groundwater use to utilize as basic information for water-cycle analysis system development and effective groundwater management in the Kap-cheon basin. The cumulative relationship between groundwater use and the number of wells was analyzed to estimate the representative total groundwater use and the number of wells for the Kap-cheon basin. Then, the spatial distribution of groundwater use in the basin were figured out using the detailed information on groundwater use in each well. Finally, the reasonability of groundwater resources management in Kap-cheon basin was evaluated by comparing groundwater recharge and groundwater use in sub-basins and major stream basins. The results of the analysis showed about 25% of the total wells could represent 90% of groundwater use ($37,923,516\;m^3$/year) in the Kap-cheon basin. A detailed analysis on the groundwater uses in the vicinity of down-town areas of Daejeon metropolitan city showed high groundwater uses ($1.4{\sim}11.1$ times) compared to the groundwater recharge previously estimated using the rainfall-runoff model. The ratio of groundwater use and groundwater recharge for the major river basins in Kap-cheon basin ranged from 1.9 to 2.3 indicating that more sustainable groundwater management should be exercised. The results of this study can be used as basic information in evaluating the change of groundwater flow, stream flow and water-cycle for various groundwater uses in the Kap-cheon basin.

The increase of impervious cover (IC) in a watershed is known as an important factor causing alteration of water cycle, deterioration of water quality and biological communities of urban streams. The study objective was to assess the impact of IC changes on the surface runoff characteristics of Kap Stream basin located in Geum river basin (Korea) using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). SWMM was calibrated and verified using the flow data observed at outlet of the watershed with 8 days interval in 2007 and 2008. According to the analysis of Landsat satellite imagery data every 5 years from 1975 to 2000, the IC of the watershed has linearly increased from 4.9% to 10.5% during last 25 years. The validated model was applied to simulate the runoff flow rates from the watershed with different IC rates every five years using the climate forcing data of 2007 and 2008. The simulation results indicated that the increase of IC area in the watershed has resulted in the increase of peak runoff and reduction of travel time during flood events. The flood flow ($Q_{95}$) and normal flow ($Q_{180}$) rates of Kap Stream increased with the IC rate. However, the low flow ($Q_{275}$) and drought flow ($Q_{355}$) rates showed no significant difference. Thus the subsurface flow simulation algorithm of the model needs to be revisited for better assessment of the impact of impervious cover on the long-term runoff process.

지하수 유동 모델에 반영되는 유역의 수리지질학적, 수문학적 특징들은 지하수 유동 특성에 주요한 영향을 미칠 수 있는 현장 특성들이다. 상기 특징들을 최대한 반영하기 위하여 438개의 관정자료를 토대로 갑천 유역(유역 면적 $648.3km^2$)의 대수층 구조 특성을 분석하고, 24개의 하천 자료를 이용하여 지하수 유동 모델을 구축하였다. 그리고 검 보정된 준분포형 유출모형(SWAT)의 22개 소유역의 지하수 함양량 결과를 3차원 지하수 유동 모델(MODFLOW)과 연계하여 갑천 유역의 광역 지하수 유동 특성을 평가하였다. 모의된 지하수위와 86개 지하수 관측정의 지하수위 비교에서 결정계수는 0.9918, 유역 전체의 물교환량의 상대오차율이 약 0.57%로 갑천 유역의 지하수 유동 특성을 잘 반영하였다. 갑천 유역의 지하수는 지형 및 대수층 특성과 하천의 영향에 의하여 전반적으로 유역 남쪽에서 북쪽으로 유동하는데 산지 지역에 존재하는 하천들은 손실과 이득 하천의 형태를 반복하는 반면, 갑천 중 하류 부분과 갑천-유등천 합류 부근은 이득하천의 형태를 보이고 있다. 그리고 소유역별 지하수 물교환량 분석한 결과, 상기 지역을 포함하는 소유역의 하천 공급원이 해당 유역의 지하수 함양량보다 지하수 유동 체계에 따라 인근 소유역에서 공급되는 지하수 유입량 비율이 훨씬 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 유등천 중 상류 지역의 소유역을 제외한 산지 지역의 경우는 하천 공급원이 지하수 유동 체계에 의한 유입량보다 해당 유역 내에서 공급되는 지하수 함양량 비율이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 지표수와 지하수의 상호작용 및 하천 유출에 지하수 유동 특성이 주요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 평가되었다.ens 4.4% (2.19)로 나타났다. 4. 全모기類의 月別 捕獲個體數에 對한 百分率은 다음과 같다. 5月 : 0.1% (1981年), 0.0% (1982年); 6月 : 3.5%, 1.3%; 7月 : 50.0%, 33.9%; 8月 : 37.1%, 52.1%; 9月 : 8.8%, 11.9%; 10月 : 0.5%, 0.8%; 11月 : 0.1%. 5. 모기類의 出現은 1981年과 1982年 모두 5月初로서 共通性을 지니고 있으나 增加勢를 보이는 것은 다르게 나타났다. 즉, 1981年은 6月 첫째 週이고 1982年은 前年度보다 3週 앞당겨진 5月 둘째 週였다. 6. 發生最大 peak는 1981年이 7月 다섯째 週이고, 1982年은 2週가 늦은 8月 둘째 週였다. 7.

This study assessed the impacts of land use types on water quality in the tributary of the Yeongsan river basin. Temporal changes in water quality parameters (BOD, COD, TOC, T-P, T-N, SS) were investigated. 13 water sampling sites were selected; they were then collected and analyzed according to the standard method. The results showed that water quality parameters of the study sites ranged as follows : BOD, from 0.3 to $21.9mg\;L^{-1}$ (mean $3.3mg\;L^{-1}$); COD, from 1.0 to $38.0mg\;L^{-1}$ ($6.4mg\;L^{-1}$); TOC, from 0.6 to $20.0mg\;L^{-1}$ ($4.5mg\;L^{-1}$); T-P, from 0.009 to $1.973mg\;L^{-1}$ ($0.144mg\;L^{-1}$); T-N, from 0.6 to $17.1mg\;L^{-1}$ (mean $3.5mg\;L^{-1}$); SS, from 0.3 to $292.0mg\;L^{-1}$ ($20.3mg\;L^{-1}$). Generally, the paddy and upland dominated region had high concentrations of water quality parameters, whereas the forest dominated region had low concentrations. In addition, water quality parameters were positively correlated with paddy and upland, whereas the parameters were negatively correlated with forest. The result implies that paddy and upland are the dominant factors leading to stream pollution in the study sites, while a higher percentage of forest area contributes to improved water quality. Therefore, it is important to manage paddy and upland in order achieve efficient management of water quality.
