This study investigated characteristics of rainfall and water quality in Saemangeum area with attention to temporal and spatial distributions. A high variability in rainfall was noted during July and August. The temporal analysis of water quality data indicated that DO and TN as well as BOD, COD and SS were within national standards except for increased concentrations during spring and summer, unlike TP values that indicated poor water quality. Standard deviation showed a high variability in SS among the seasons most especially during summer. The high dispersion indicated variability in the chemical composition of pollutants where the temporal and spatial variations caused by polluting sources and/or seasonal changes were most evident for BOD and COD during winter and spring. The box plots and bar charts showed steadily low concentrations of BOD, COD, TN and TP except within Iksan and notable significant variations in SS concentrations among the monitoring stations. Thus, high pollution levels requiring intervention were identified in Mangyeong river basin with particular concern for areas represented by Iksan station. It was noted that Iksan received a considerable amount of rainfall which meant high runoff which could explain the significant pollution levels revealed in the water quality spatial distribution. Major pollution contributing pollutants within Saemangeum area were identified as SS, BOD, COD and TN. Therefore the present results could be used as a guideline for the temporal and spatial distributions analysis of both rainfall and water quality in Saemangeum watershed.

WRF 모형은 실제 자연에서 나타나는 대기 현상의 원인을 물리적 동적 방정식들의 항으로 표현한 수치예보모형으로 전세계의 상업적 비상업적인 수치예보모형 안에서 성능이 뛰어나다고 평가되어지고 있다. WRF 모형은 오픈소스 기반의 비상업적 모형으로 사용 및 수정이 자유로운 특징이 있으며, 위성 및 레이더와 같은 고도화된 다양한 기상관측자료를 입력자료로 활용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. WRF-HYDRO 모형은 WRF 모형이 갖는 공간적인 저해상도 문제를 해결할 수 있는 고해상도의 격자를 구축할 수 있으며 유출량과 수문 변량을 추정할 수 있는 추적 모형을 추가하여 수문학적 예측 능력을 향상하고자 개발되었다. 기존 모형과의 차별성으로는 기상인자로 인하여 도출된 지표면의 수문인자들이 시간의 변동에 따라서 다음 시간의 기상인자에 영향을 미치는 피드백 구조로 구성되어 기상과 지표면이 양방향으로 연결되는 특징이 있다. 기존 모형에 비하여 향상된 구조적인 특징은 수문학적 순환과정을 자연스럽게 재현함으로서 신뢰성 있는 결과를 도출할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 유역의 실제 유출 사상에 대하여 WRF-HYDRO 모형을 적용하고, 홍수통제소 관할 만경강 유역내 수문 관측소 자료와의 비교를 통해 WRF-HYDRO 모형의 적용성을 검토하였다. 수문 관측소를 통한 검토 결과를 기반으로 WRF-HYDRO 모형에서 제시된 수문-기상 정보를 통하여 만경강 유역의 홍수 사상의 발생 과정에 대한 추적 및 미계측 변량의 추정에 유용하게 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study is to select the areas to ensure stream space or to implement flood defence measures according to flood frequencies by classifying the stream segment using river bed slope in Mangyeong river. The analysis result for each stream segment showed that the variation of flood inundation area was small in upper stream catchment. But in the lower stream area, the inundation area became larger greatly according to the increase of flood return period. This study classified the catchment of each steam segment as the region of ensuring stream space (ESS), below 10% residential area ratio, and the region of reinforcing flood defence (RFD), over 10% residential area ratio. The analysis results showed that the lower stream area included more RFD regions than upper stream area, and the upper stream area included more ESS regions than lower stream area. In future study, the regions stream spaces can be ensured will be analyzed considering the past stream morphology and the positions of wetlands.

The weathering properties and provenance of loess-paleosol sequence deposited on gravel layer of river terrace in Bongdong-eup, Wangju-gun, Jeonbuk Province are examined using soil analysis, magnetic susceptibility measurement, grain size and element analysis. The Bongdong section consists of, from top to bottom, Layer 1(paleosol), Layer 2(loess), Layer 3(paleosol) and the gravel layer of river terrace. The magnetic susceptibility values show the systematic variations in the sequence and the results of grain size analysis reveal that the sequence was deposited by not fluvial or slope process, but eolian process, and that contains finer materials than the Daecheon loess and Chinese Loess Plateau. Among the results of soil analysis, organic contents indicate systematic variations similar to the magnetic susceptibility. The wet soil colors further reflect the characteristics of the sequence rather than the dry soil colors. Based on the analytical results of major and rare earth elements, the eolian materials contained in the sequence were deposited by the materials originated from the areas where the Chinese Loess Plateau has been originated or the reworked materials from the Chinese Loess Plateau, and after the depositions, the materials experienced the intensive chemical weathering under the humid-warm climatic conditions in the Korean Peninsula.

The flood pulse in streams enhances the biodiversity and ecosystem services of the channel-floodplain ecosystems by exchanging water, nutrients, sediments and organisms. However, the lateral connectivity in most streams of Korea has been disrupted by the levee constructions for the purpose of flood control and land use of floodplains. To compare the characteristics of floodplain vegetation according to existence of lateral connectivity in streams, we investigated the geomorphological and soil environmental factors and structures and distribution of vegetation in the floodplains connected and isolated by levee to the channel in Cheongmi Stream, Seom River, Hwangguji Stream, Mangyeong River, Gomakwon Stream, and Boseong River, Korea. In comparison of soil environments, moisture and clay contents were higher in the isolated floodplain than in the connected floodplain. According to the result of principal component analysis (PCA) using environmental data, the environments of the connected floodplain and the isolated floodplain were separated by soil moisture contents, soil texture and distribution altitude of the vegetation. The results of detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) using vegetation data showed that the isolated floodplain was dominated by the hydropythic communities of diverse life form and that the connected floodplain was dominated by the hygrophytic communities that endure disturbance. In conclusion, it is thought that the vegetation of the floodplain changed to the lentic wetland vegetation dominated by diverse hydrophytes as the floodplain was isolated from the channel by artificial levees.

Lateral connectivity between a main channel and a former channel plays an integral role in maintaining ecological functions of stream-floodplain ecosystems. This study virtually restored the connectivity of the former channel, which is currently isolated by channelization, in the Mangyeong River, Korea. Fish habitat improvement after the connectivity restoration was evaluated using River2D, two-dimensional depth-averaged hydraulic modeling, depending on normal and flood flow conditions. Target fish species were crucian carp (Carassius auratus), which are known as lentic species, and pale chub (Zacco platypus), known as lotic species. The weighted usable area (WUA) of the two species was increased after the connectivity restoration: the two-way connection between the main and formal channels was more effective than the one-way connection. The result of the physical habitat simulation at a flood flow condition demonstrated an increased rate of the WUA than during a normal flow condition. In particular, the WUA of pale chub increased about four times on the two-way connectivity restoration. This result suggests that habitat availability of both lentic and lotic fish species will increase after a connectivity restoration, and a two-way connectivity restoration may be more effective. In addition, the restored formal channel would function as a shelter for fish during the flood season.

In order to understand the relationship between the distribution of epilithic diatoms and the habitual environments, land-use, water qualities, and epilithic diatoms were studied at 141 sampling sites in the midwestern stream of Korean peninsula (Geum river, Mangyeong river, Dongjin river, and Sapgyo river). The total 183 diatom taxa was appeared in the study, while the dominant species were found to be Nitzschia palea (10.9%) and Achnanthes convergens (8.4%). Based on the abundance of epilithic diatoms, a cluster analysis results indicate that the sampling sites divided the sampling sites into 4 groups (G) at the 25% level. In term of geographic and aquatic environments, G-I and -II accounted for the upper and mid streams of the Geum river, and had large forest areas and good in water quality. G-III accounted for farmland and urban, and high concentration nutrient levels (TN and TP) and electric conductivity. G-IV accounted for mostly farmland, and high levels in turbidity, BOD, nutrient and electric conductivity. CCA results showed that the saproxenous taxa Meridion circulare was the indicator species of G-I, which strongly influenced by altitude and forests. In G-II, the indifferent taxa Navicula cryptocephala was influenced by Chl-a, AFDM, and DO. In G-III and -IV, the indifferent taxa Fragilaria elliptica and saprophilous taxa Aulacoseira ambigua were influenced by electric conductivity, turbidity, and nutrient counts. Meanwhile, random forest results showed that the predicting factor of indicator species appearance in G-I, -II, and -III was found to be electric conductivity whereas in G-IV it was found to be turbidity. Collectively, the distribution of diatoms in the midwestern of Korean peninsula was found to depend more on the land-use and its subsequent water qualities than the inherent characteristics of the aquatic environment.

A three dimensional random walk particle tracking method is applied to the Saemangeum area in order to find stepwise environmental changes according to long term construction. Flow regime around Mangyeong, Dongjin and Geum river estuary changed greatly due to dike construction. It is distinctive that reduction of Byeonsan area's flow field and stagnant change in the northern part of the inner reservoir. Similar characteristics are found through the tidal excursion analysis. By analysis of the vertical mixing structures according to density stratification based on temperature and salinity variation, a salt wedge and very strong stratification arises in the inner part of the reservoir after final closure, while it has been well mixed or partially mixed estuary during construction. Shrinking of horizontal dispersion and vertical mixing capability may cause adverse effect on water quality not only inner part but also outer region of the Saemangeum reservoir.

만경강은 전라북도 북부를 남서쪽으로 흐르는 하천으로 유로연장 80.86km, 유역면적 1,504.35km²에 이르며 유로는 영산강에 이어 6번째, 유역면적은 안성천, 삽교천에 이어 8번째에 해당하는 하천이다. 만경강은 금강, 동진강 등과 함께 호남평야의 중앙을 서쪽으로 흐르며 호남평야에 농업용수를 공급하고, 전주시와 완주군, 김제시에 공업용수를 공급하는 중요한 하천 중 하나이다. 만경강 상류에는 대아저수지, 경천저수지 등 다수의 농업용 저수지가 설치되어 있으며, 농업용수 공급을 위한 다수의 취입보와 양수장이 설치·운용되고 있다. 만경강 중상류에서 위치한 취입보 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 것은 완주군(오성교)관측소와 완주군(용봉교)관측소 사이에 위치한 어우 취입보로 최대 허가량은 약 10m³/s이며, 연간 취수량은 약 1억 4천만톤이다. 어우 취입보에서 취수한 용수는 대간 도수로를 통해 새만금간척지까지 농업용수를 공급한 후 완주군(삼례교)관측소 하류에 위치한 비비정 배수갑문을 통하여 만경강으로 회귀한다. 어우 취입보의 영향으로 인하여 만경강 중상류에 위치한 3개의 관측소(완주군(오성교), 완주군(용봉교), 완주군(하리교))는 비정상적인 상하류 관계가 발생하고 있다. 만경강은 이와 같은 다수의 취입보와 양수장 운영으로 상하류 역전이 발생하고 있으나, 유역 내 물수지 분석을 통해 실제 취수량 등을 고려할 경우 농번기에도 정상적인 상하류 관계가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 만경강에 위치한 저수지 3개소(경천저수지, 용담댐, 대아저수지)의 방류량과 고산정수장의 회귀수 자료, 어우 취입보에 설치된 자동유량자료 및 취입보(7개소)의 허가량과 취수량 자료를 확보하여 물수지 분석을 실시하였다. 또한, 만경강 중상류에 위치한 관측소의 2022년 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선식을 활용하여 환산유량을 산정하였으며 물수지 분석을 실시하여 상하류 검토와 누가유출 및 유출률을 검토한 결과 상하류 관계가 비교적 안정적인 것으로 확인되었다.

지구상의 물 순환은 구름이 형성되어 비나 눈의 형태로 낙하하여 지표수를 형성하거나 일부가 땅속으로 스며들어 지하수를 형성하기도 한다. 또한, 지표면이나 수면, 식물의 입면을 통해서 대기중으로 증발되기도 한다. 대기중으로 소실되지 않은 물은 지표수나 지하수로 하천을 통해 바다로 흘러간다. 이와 같은 물 순환을 수문순환(hydrologic cycle)이라고 한다(Lee, 2008). 하지만 인구 증가 및 산업화로 인해 농업용수, 공업용수, 생활용수 사용이 증가하며 하천에서 직접 물을 취수하여 사용하고 있고 하수종말처리장, 농수로 등을 통해 회귀되는 유량이 많아 하천의 유출 특성을 파악하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 정확한 하천 유출 체계 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 하천에서 사용되고 유입되는 물의 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 수계 및 제 1지류인 전주천에서 운영되고 있는 취·배수 시설에 대해 문헌조사와 현장조사를 진행하였으며, 조사한 내용을 토대로 하천의 물 사용 체계 모식도를 작성하였다. 만경강 유역의 조사대상 구간은 대아댐 하류에서 전주천 합류점까지의 구간에 대해 조사를 실시하였으며, 전주천 유역은 삼천합류점에서 만경강 본류 합류점까지와 삼천 유역의 구이저수지에서 전주천 합류점 까지를 조사구간으로 선정하였다. 문헌조사의 대상시설은 저수지, 양수장, 취입보, 하수처리장 등이며, 조사대상은 하천의 유출 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 시설로 최소 하루 기준으로 일 취수량 0.20㎥/s, 일 방류량 0.20㎥/s 이상이 되는 시설에 대해서만 수행하였다. 현장조사에서는 현장을 방문하여 취·배수시설의 위치와 유입구의 위치, 도수로 등을 조사하였으며, 취·배수 시설의 유량 정확도 평가를 위해 현장에서 유량측정을 수행하여 허가량과의 비교 검토를 실시하였다. 만경강은 농업용수 사용의 증가에 따라 상하류 유량반전이 빈번하게 발생하였으나 이 연구를 통해 검토한 결과 만경강 유역내의 상하류 유량반전 시기가 과거에 비해 감소하였으며, 완주군(오성교)관측소와 완주군(용봉교)관측소의 손실고가 안정적으로 변한 것으로 확인되었으며, 전주시(미산교)관측소 또한 관측소 상류에 위치한 취·배수영향을 고려하여 유출률을 산정한 결과 과거에 비해 손실고가 일정하게 유지되는 안정된 결과를 도출하였다. 따라서 유역의 유출 체계 특성을 체계적으로 관리하기 위해서는 하천의 취·배수시설에 대한 다양성을 고려하여 하천 유출 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다.
