This study was carried out to review the guidelines being used by law and national policy concerned on river environments management and suggest the applicability of newly developed river environment assessment system. In the current legal system, the national river environment management system is insufficient in securing an independent status in the legal institutional system which is separated to the Ministry of Land, Transport and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Environment. And the river environment assessment system of the national standard, which is a core matter, has not been established yet. In particular, there is a lack of integrated approach between the upper and lower plan or related plans on water resources, water quality, river environment and aquatic ecosystem management. In addition, the consistency and effectiveness as the process of planning and design according to the current status and comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the river environment were not secured either. To integrate national river environment management system and improve efficiency, I proposed the establishment of hierarchy and connection between national river plans, and the adoption and application of developed assessment system based on characteristics of river environment in Korea. Finally, I proposed the separated application with dividing the developed assessment system including the naturalness of river environment and suitability of water friendly activity into both assessment method for management plan of water resources of river basins & basic river plan respectively.

In order to improve water quality in drinking water sources, Ministry of Environment (MOE) was implemented total water pollution load management (TWPLM) in all the major river basins. From the experience of the application of TWPLM, we could find some problems relating the target watershed, standard operating procedure (SOP) of establishment and implementation plan, water quality and flow rate, design flow, water quality model, margin of safety (MOS), and estimation of wasteload were found. The authors were reviewed ongoing TWPLM and presented the improvement schemes for a successful TWPLM. For the application of these suggestions, further detailed studies should be done to implement TWPLM in the future.

In recent, the integrated water resources management should consider not only existing management objects such as water supply, power generation, and instream flows but also new management objects such as water quantity, water quality, and water habitats which management system is large and complex. Moreover, integrated basin plan or operation are needed for solving conflicts problems between basins and between water usages and to maximize water resources usages. To increase use of optimization method for actual operation and apply various objects, a reservoir operation rule was developed and the KModSim's hydrologic states for integrated water resources management were tested in this study. The simulation results show that the developed operation rules applied in hydrologic states good represent the actual storages of both the Yongdam and the Daecheong Reservoirs so, it is possible to improve the water allocation method usually used in the basin management and manage the integrated basin water resources if new operating rules are applied in optimized programming.

정부는 1998년부터 4대강 물관리종합대책을 세워 하천의 수질보전을 위한 대책을 시행하고 있다. 그 중 대유역 중심의 수질개선대책은 전체적인 큰 목표를 제시하는 것이며, 이러한 대유역의 목표수질을 달성하기 위해서는 먼저 소유역의 수질개선이 이루어져야 한다. 현재 영산강유역에서는 도시하수종말처리장, 산업폐수처리장과 같은 점오염원 관리시설은 대폭 확충되었으나 하천과 호소의 수질은 크게 향상되지 못하고 있다. 이는 중 소유역에 대한 효율적인 수질개선대책이 없기 때문이며, 특히 중 소유역 내 비점오염원 물질이 대량으로 하천 및 호소에 유입되기 때문이다 따라서 효율적인 유역관리를 위해서는 소유역중심의 관리가 필요하며, 소유역 중심의 수질보전 대책을 수립하기 위해서는 대상 소유역에 대한 조사분석이 선행되어야 하는데, 여기에는 관거(우수관, 오수관) 시스템 조사와 하수의 차집조사가 관계되며, 또한 소유역내의 오염원(점오염원과 비점오염원) 및 잠재적인 오염원조사 등과 같은 광범위한 조사 작업이 필요하다. 한편 유역모형 중 HSPF모형은 모형의 적용에 필요한 방대한 자료와 노력을 최소화 되도록 개발되어 왔으며, HSPF는 광범위한 수문 수질과정을 장기 모의가 가능하도록 일련의 구조화된 모듈로 구성되어 있다. 복잡한 모형일수록 자료관리에 많은 노력이 요구되나 HSPF는 자료를 직접적으로 접근할 수 있는 Time Series Management System에 가깝도록 개발되었다. 또한, HSPF 모델은 유역내의 토지이용에 따른 특정 오염물질의 비점오염 부하를 계산하며, 강우에 따른 물의 흐름을 하천의 수질오염모의와 연결시키는데, 광범위한 유역조건에 적용이 가능하고, 각 소유역을 구분하여 비교가 가능하므로 소유역별 관리방안을 비교하는데 가장 적합한 모델이다. 따라서 본 연구는 유역모형(HSPF)을 이용하여 영산강 유역을 대표할 수 있는 중 소유역을 선정하고, 선정된 중 소유역에 대한 기초적인 자료를 조사 분석하여 종합적이고 구체적인 유역 관리계획을 수립해 봄으로써 중 소유역 수질관리에 지침서로서 역할을 하는데 목적이 있다.

In order to estimate the demand for water resources planning and operation, methodology for determining the size of water supply facilities has been mainly applied to agricultural water, unlike living and industrial water, which reflects actual usage trends. This inevitably leads to an overestimation of agricultural water and can lead to an imbalance in the supply and demand of each use in terms of the total water resources plan. In this study, the difference of approaches of concept of net consumption was examined in comparison with the existing methodology and the characteristics of agricultural water demand were analyzed by applying it to whole Jeju Island. SWAT model was applied to estimate the amount of evapotranspiration, which is a key factor in estimating demand, and watershed modeling was performed to reflect geographical features, weather, runoff and water use characteristics of Jeju Island. For the past period (1992~2013), demand of Jeju Island as a whole was analyzed as 427 mm per year, and it showed a relatively high demand around the eastern and western coastal regions. Annual demand and seasonal variation characteristics of 10 river basins with watershed area of $30km^2$ or more were also analyzed. In addition, by applying the cultivated area of each crop in 2020 in the future, it is estimated that the demand corresponding to the 10-year frequency drought is 54% of the amount demanded in the previous research. This is due to the difference in approach depending on the purpose of the demand calculation. From the viewpoint of water resource management and operation, additional demand is expected as much as the net consumption. However, from the actual supply perspective, it can be judged that a facility plan that meets the existing demand amount is necessary. In order to utilize the methodologies and results presented in this study in practice, it is necessary to make a reasonable discussion in terms of policy and institutional as well as engineering verification.
