In this study, a criteria for the SWAT model calibration method in SWAT-CUP which considers multi-site and multi-variable observations was presented. For its application, the SWAT model was simulated using long-term observed flow, soil moisture, and evapotranspiration data in Yongdam study watershed, investigating the hydrological runoff characteristics and water balance in the water cycle analysis. The model was calibrated with different parameter values for each sub-watershed in order to reflect the characteristics of multiple observations through one-by-one calibration, appropriate settings of model simulation run/iteration number (1,000 simulation runs in the first iteration and then 500 simulation runs for the following iterations), and executions of partial and all run in SWAT-CUP. The flow simulation results of watershed outlet point, ENS 0.85, R2 0.87, and PBIAS -7.6%, were compared with the analysis results (ENS 0.52, R2 0.54, and PBIAS -22.4%) applied in the other batch (i.e., non one-by-one) calibration approach and showed better performances of proposed method. From the simulation results of a total of 15 years, it was found that the total runoff (streamflow) and evapotranspiration rates from precipitation are 53 and 39%, and the ratio of surface runoff and baseflow (i.e., sum of lateral and return flow, and recharge deep aquifer) are 35 and 65%, respectively, in Yongdam watershed. In addition, the analytical amount of available water (i.e., water yield), including the total annual streamflow (daily average 21.8 m3/sec) is 6.96 billion m3 per year (about 540 to 900 mm for sub-watersheds).

This study is to assess the impact of future land use change on hydrology and water quality in Gyungan-cheon watershed ($255.44km^2$) using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. Using the 5 past Landsat TM (1987, 1991, 1996, 2004) and $ETM^+$ (2001) satellite images, time series of land use map were prepared, and the future land uses (2030, 2060, 2090) were predicted using CA-Markov technique. The 4 years streamflow and water quality data (SS, T-N, T-P) and DEM (Digital Elevation Model), stream network, and soil information (1:25,000) were prepared. The model was calibrated for 2 years (1999 and 2000), and verified for 2 years (2001 and 2002) with averaged Nash and Sutcliffe model efficiency of 0.59 for streamflow and determination coefficient of 0.88, 0.72, 0.68 for Sediment, T-N (Total Nitrogen), T-P (Total Phosphorous) respectively. The 2030, 2060 and 2090 future prediction based on 2004 values showed that the total runoff increased 1.4%, 2.0% and 2.7% for 0.6, 0.8 and 1.1 increase of watershed averaged CN value. For the future Sediment, T-N and T-P based on 2004 values, 51.4%, 5.0% and 11.7% increase in 2030, 70.5%, 8.5% and 16.7% increase in 2060, and 74.9%, 10.9% and 19.9% increase in 2090.

The Doam watershed is located at alpine areas and the annual average precipitation, including snow accumulation, is significant higher than other areas. Thus, pollutant laden runoff and sediment discharge from the alpine agricultural fields are causing water quality degradation at the Doam watershed. To estimate soil erosion from the agricultural fields, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) has been widely used because of its simplicity to use. In the early spring at the Doam watershed, the stream flow increases because of snow melt, which results in erosion of loosened soil experiencing freezing and thaw during the winter. Also, extremely torrential rainfall, such as the typhoons 'RUSA' in 2002 and 'MAEMI' in 2003, caused significant amounts of soil erosion and sediment at the Doam watershed. However, the USLE model cannot simulate impacts on soil erosion of freezing and thaw of the soil. It cannot estimate sediment yield from a single torrential rainfall event. Also, it cannot simulate temporal changes in USLE input parameters. Thus, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was investigated for its applicability to estimate soil erosion at the Doam watershed, instead of the widely used USLE model. The SWAT hydrology and erosion/sediment components were validated after calibration of the hydrologic component. The R$^2$ and Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient values are higher enough, thus it is found the SWAT model can be efficiently used to simulate hydrology and sediment yield at the Doam watershed. The effects of snow melt on SWAT estimated stream flow and sediment were investigated using long-term precipitation and temperature data at the Doam watershed. It was found significant amount of flow and sediment in the spring are contributed by melting snow accumulated during the winter. Two typhoons in 2002 and 2003, MAEMI and RUSA, caused 33% and 22% of total sediment yields at the Doam watershed, respectively. Thus, it is recommended that the SWAT model, capable of simulating snow melt, sediment yield from a single storm event, and long-term weather data, needs to be used in estimating soil erosion at alpine agricultural areas to develop successful soil erosion management instead of the USLE.

The objective of this study is to generate the regional scale runoff scenarios by using IPCC SRES A2 climate change scenario for analyzing the spatial variation of water resources in Korea. The PRMS model was adopted to simulate long-term stream discharge. To estimate the PRMS model parameters on each sub-basin, the streamflow data at 6 dam sites and Rosenbrock's scheme are used for model parameter calibration and those parameters are translated to ungauged catchments by regionalization method. The other 3 dam sites are selected for the verification of the adequateness of regionalized model parameters in ungagued catchments. The statistical results show that the simulated flows by using regionalized parameters well agree with observed ones. The generated runoff scenarios by climate change are compared with observed data on 4 dam sites for the reference period. The consequences show that the selection of climate station for generating climate scenario affects the reliability of climate scenario at sub-basin. The comparison results of the stream flows between the 30-year baseline period (1971-2000) and future 90-year (2001-2030, 2031-2060, 2061-2090) show that the long-term mean annual runoff in the Han River has increasing trend, while the Nakdong, the Gum, the Youngsan and the Sumjin Rivers have decreasing trend.

The objectives of this study were to monitor and analyse water quality and soil property in paddy fields where untreated wastewater is irrigated. Three paddy fields where streamflow mixed with untreated wastewater has been irrigated (untreated wastewater district, UWD) were selected for monitoring, and five paddy fields in Yongin area (Yongin district, YID) where water from Idong agricultural reservoir (well-managed) has been irrigated were selected for comparative evaluation. Electronic conductivity (EC), suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphorous (T-P), $NO_3-N$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$, total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC), and E. coli of the irrigation water in the UWD were significantly higher than those in the YID. Relatively high concentrations of EC, T-N, T-P, TC, FC, E. coli, copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and aluminium (Al) were shown in the irrigation water of the UWD especially during May to June. In general, the paddy soil in the UWD contained more Pb, Zn, and Cu than in the YID although the soil heavy metal contents in the UWD still meet the Korean soil contamination warning standards. No temporal trends in the heavy metal concentrations were found in paddy soils of the UWD. This study showed that the use of untreated wastewater to paddy fields has the possibility of negative impacts on water quality and soil, although long-term monitoring is needed to fully evaluate its effects.

The objective of this study is to evaluate an application of stochastic continuous storage function model with ensemble Kalman filter technique. The case study is performed at the upstream basin of Jibo streamflow gauge including Andong and Imha dam. Test period is for the rainy season during 2006 and 2007. Long term runoff analysis is feasible in the case of using deterministic model. Ensemble members for input data and parameters are generated using Monte Carlo simulation for the purpose of applying ensemble Kalman filter technique. The cumulative absolute errors of stochastic model to the deterministic one are improved for the amount of 17.5 %, 18.3 % and more than 40.0 % for Andong dam, Imha dam and Jibo station, respectively. The results indicate that the stochastic model improves the accuracy of the simulated discharge considerably.

본 연구에서는 합천댐 방류량에 영향을 받는 황강을 대상으로 하천의 수리기하학적 분석을 통해 장기하상변동 모의를 위한 모의유량을 생성하였다. 낙동강 합류부로부터 상류로 3.5 km 구간을 대상으로 실측된 20개 횡단면에 대한 만제지표를 분석하였으며, 각 횡단면의 만제지표를 이용하여 대상구간의 평균 만제유량을 산정하였다. 대상구간의 평균 만제유량은 $177.37m^3/s$로 나타났다. 산정된 만제유량을 이용하여 황강의 연간 총 유출량을 추정하였으며, 추정된 연간 총 유출량은 $8,513.76m^3/s$로 나타났다. 추정된 황강의 연간 총 유출량은 합천댐의 월별 방류량 비를 통해 월별 유출량으로 배분/생성하였다. 생성된 황강의 월별 유출량 비율과 인근의 실측 하천인 낙동강의 월별 유출량 비율을 비교한 결과 국내하천의 일반적인 특성인 몬순강우 사상에 따른 하천의 월별 유출량과 갈수기와 홍수기 전반에 걸쳐 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 아울러 댐하류 하천의 장기하상변동 모의를 위한 모의유량의 사용성 확인을 위해 2013-2014년에 실측된 1년간의 하상변동 양상과 비교 분석하였다. Case 1 (추정된 연간 총 유출량을 합천댐 방류량 비를 통해 생성한 모의유량)과 case 2 (인근 하천인 낙동강의 유출량 비를 통해 배분된 모의유량)을 이용하여 장기하상변동 모의를 수행한 결과 case 1에서 실측 하상과 유사한 결과가 나타남을 확인하였다. 따라서 댐하류 하천의 장기하상변동 모의는 일반적인 국내의 강우사상에 따른 하상변동 분석과 차이가 있음을 확인하였으며, 상류에 위치한 댐 방류량을 고려한 하상변동 분석이 필요함을 확인하였다.

The objective of this study was to develop a model for predicting long-term runoff in a basin using the ensemble streamflow prediction (ESP) technique and review its reliability. To achieve the objective, this study improved not only the ESP technique based on the ensemble scenario analysis of historical rainfall data but also conventional ESP techniques used in conjunction with qualitative climate forecasting information, and analyzed and assessed their improvement effects. The model was applied to the Geum River basin. To undertake runoff forecasting, this study tried three cases (case 1: Climate Outlook + ESP, case 2: ESP probability through monthly measured discharge, case 3: Season ESP probability of case 2) according to techniques used to calculate ESP probabilities. As a result, the mean absolute error of runoff forecasts for case 1 proposed by this study was calculated as 295.8 MCM. This suggests that case 1 showed higher reliability in runoff forecasting than case 2 (324 MCM) and case 3 (473.1 MCM). In a discrepancy-ratio accuracy analysis, the Climate Outlook + ESP technique displayed 50.0%. This suggests that runoff forecasting using the Climate Outlook +ESP technique with the lowest absolute error was more reliable than other two cases.

본 연구에서는 CMIP5(The fifth phase of the Couple Model Intercomparison Project) 미래기후시나리오와 LSTM(Long Short-Term Memory) 모형 기반의 딥러닝 기법을 이용하여 하천유량 예측을 위한 최적 학습 기간을 제시하였다. 연구지역으로는 진안군(성산리) 지점을 선정하였다. 보정(2000~2002/2014~2015) 및 검증(2003~2005/2016~2017) 기간을 설정하여 연구지역의 실측 유량 자료와 LSTM 기반 모의유량을 비교한 결과, 전체적으로 모의값이 실측값을 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, LSTM 모형의 장기간 예측 성능을 평가하기 위하여 LSTM 모형 기반 유량을 보정(2000~2015) 및 검증(2016~2019) 기간의 SWAT 기반 유량에 비교하였다. 비록 모의결과에일부 오차가 발생하였으나, LSTM 모형이 장기간의 하천유량을 잘 산정하는 것으로 나타났다. 검증 결과를 기반으로 2011년~2100년의 CMIP5 미래기후시나리오 기상자료를 이용하여 SWAT 기반 유량을 모의하였으며, 모의한 하천유량을 LSTM 모형의 학습자료로 사용하였다. 다양한 학습 시나리오을 적용하여 LSTM 및 SWAT 모형 기반의 하천유량을 모의하였으며, 최적 학습 기간을 제시하기 위하여 학습 시나리오별 LSTM/SWAT 기반 하천유량의 상관성 및 불확실성을 비교하였다. 비교 결과 학습 기간이 최소 30년 이상일때, 실측유량과 비교하여 LSTM 모형 기반 하천유량의 불확실성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 CMIP5 미래기후시나리오와 딥러닝 기반 LSTM 모형을 연계하여 미래 장기간의 일별 유량을 모의할 경우, 신뢰성 있는 LSTM 모형 기반 하천유량을 모의하기 위해서는 최소 30년 이상의 학습 기간이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 머신러닝 기술의 발전에 따라 비선형 시계열자료에 대한 예측이 가능해졌으며, 기존의 과정기반모형을 대체하여 지하수, 하천수 예측 등 다양한 수문분야에 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 연구들과 달리 과정기반모형을 이용한 하천수 모의결과를 개선하기 위해 과정기반모형과 결합하는 방식으로 머신러닝 기술을 활용하였다. 머신러닝 기술을 통해 관측값과 모의값 간의 차이를 예측하고 과정기반모형의 모의결과에 반영함으로써 관측값을 정확히 재현할 수 있도록 하는 시스템을 구축하고 평가하였다. 과정기반모형으로는 Weather Research and Forecasting model-Hydrological modeling system (WRF-Hydro)을 소양강 유역을 대상으로 구축하였다. 머신러닝 모형으로는 순환 신경망 중 하나인 Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) 신경망을 이용하여 장기시계열예측이 가능하게 하였다(WRF-Hydro-LSTM). 머신러닝 모형은 2013년부터 2017년까지의 기상자료 및 유입량 잔차를 이용하여 학습시키고, 2018년 기상자료를 이용하여 예상되는 유입량 잔차를 모의하였다. 모의된 잔차를 WRF-Hydro 모의결과에 반영시켜 최종 유입량 모의값을 보정하였다. 또한, 연구에서 제안된 새로운 방법론의 성능을 비교평가하기 위해 머신러닝 단독 모형으로 유입량을 학습 후 모의하였다(LSTM-only). 상관계수와 Nash-Sutcliffe 효율계수(NSE)를 사용해 평가한 결과, LSTM을 이용한 두 방법(WRF-Hydro-LSTM과 LSTM-only) 모두 기존의 과정기반모형(WRF-Hydro-only)에 비해 높은 정확도의 하천수 모의가 가능했으며, PBIAS 지수를 사용하여 평가한 결과, LSTM을 단독으로 사용하였을 때보다 WRF-Hydro와 결합했을 때 더 관측값과 가까운 모의가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.
