  • This study proposed an equation for Rainfall Threshold for Flood Warning (RTFW) for urban areas based on computer simulations. First, a coupled 1D-2D dual-drainage model was developed for nine watersheds in Seoul, Korea. Next, the model simulation was repeated for a total of 540 combinations of the synthetic rainfall events and watershed imperviousness (9 watersheds × 4 NRCS Curve Number (CN) values × 15 rainfall events). Then, the results of the 101 simulations with the critical flooded depth (0.25m-0.35m) were used to develop the equation that relates the value of RTFW to the rainfall event temporal variability (represented as coefficient of variation) and the watershed Curve Number. The results suggest that 1) the rainfall with greater temporal variability causes critical floods with less amount of total rainfall; and that 2) the greater imperviousness requires less rainfall to have critical floods. For validation, the proposed equation was applied for the flood warning system with two storm events occurred in 2010 and 2011 over 239 watersheds in Seoul. The results of the application showed high performance of the warning system in issuing the flood warning, with the hit, false and missed alarm rates at 68%, 32% and 7.4% respectively for the 2010 event and 49%, 51% and 10.7% for the event in 2011.

  • Curve number (CN), originally developed, compiled by 'The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)', and has been widely used throughout the world. However, there is the uncertainty of CN derived from the use of antecedent moisture condition (AMC)/Antecedent Runoff Condition (ARC). As in Korea where nearly 70% covered by mountainous area, it is still not sufficient handbook precedent to guide or support the estimation of AMC/ARC. The failure to develop formal criteria of applying AMC/ ARC will be a gaping profession and results not only in uncertainty of CN estimation in particular, but also in designing appropriate structures in Korea as a whole. This paper is aiming at presenting a critical review of AMC/ARC and deriving a procedure to deal more realistically with event rainfall-runoff over wider variety of initial conditions. Proposed methods have been developed. It is based on modifying estimated runoff to observed runoff with coefficient of determination and then applying different algebraic expression with the verification of AMC by antecedent rainfall table of NEH-1964. The result shows that algebraic expression by Arnold et al. (1996) is the most appropriate for AMC/ARC and the results of AMC/ARC estimation criteria are generally very close to each other. Therefore, this algebraic expression might be applied in South Korea condition properly.

  • 국제사회의 분위기와 더불어 국내에서도 에너지 자원의 지속적인 개발과 이용에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 그 중 수자원의 지속적인 확보와 개발은 가장 현실적이고 우선적인 문제로 인식되고 있으며 수자원확보/환경/개발 및 이용 등의 여러 분야에서 그간의 정량적 성과가 하나 둘씩 도출되어 적용 단계에 이르기도 하였다. 하지만 지하수의 경우 기초자료의 미흡과 불확실성, 함양량 및 개발가능량에 대한 산정기법의 적용성 문제, 체계화된 개발 및 이용에 대한 인식이 부족한 실정이다. 특히, 도시지역의 경우는 인구의 증가로 인하여 지하수이용량이 급격하게 증가하고 잠재적 지하수오염 가능성이 높아져 지하수환경의 악화를 초래하고 이로 인하여 하천 환경에도 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 지하수개발가능량의 평가 및 체계적인 이용과 관리가 반드시 필요하나 지하수함양에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 토지피복상태가 지속적으로 변화하여 지하수함양량에도 매년 변화가 있으며 이에 따라 개발가능량도 변하고 있어 지하수 개발과 관리 및 이용에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 부산광역시 수영구 일대를 대상으로 도시화 현상으로 변화하는 토지피복상태를 분석하고 그 결과를 반영하여 1961년부터 2007년까지의 지하수함양량 및 함양률을 산정하였다. 연구대상지역의 토지피복상태는 1975년 이전까지는 시가화지역이 18.6%, 농업지역이 30.0%, 산림이 48.8%, 초지가 0.1%, 나지가 2.0%, 수역이 0.5%를 차지하고 있었으나 1980년${\sim}$1985년에 농업지역이 18.3% 감소하고 시가화지역이 15.0% 증가하는 큰 변화가 나타났으며 1995년${\sim}$2000년에도 농업지역이 5.5% 감소하고 시가화지역이 5.4% 증가하는 변화를 나타냈다. 전 연도에 걸쳐 산림지역과 초지, 나지, 수역에서의 변화는 크지 않았다. 연구대상지역의 평균 강우량은 1509.3mm이고 지하수평균함양량은 216.0mm이며 지하수평균함양률은 14.3%로 나타났다. 연최대함양량은 강우량이 2138.1mm인 1970년에 408.9mm이며 연최대함양률은 강우량이 1492.6mm인 1984년에 19.8%이다. 연최소함양량은 강우량이 901.5mm인 1988년에 71.9mm이며 연최소함양률은 같은해에 8.0%로 나타났다. 또한 연도의 증가에 따라 강우량은 증가하였으나 지하수함양량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.

  • The rainfall-runoff potential of Jangseong reservoir watershed was studied based on SCS (Soil Conservation Service, which is now the NRCS, Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA) runoff curve number (CN) technique. Precipitation and reservoir operation data had been collected. The rainfall-runoff pairs from the watershed for ten years was estimated using reservoir water balance analysis using reservoir operation records. The maximum retention, S, for each storm event from rainfall-runoff pair was estimated for selected storm events. The estimated S values were arranged in descending order, then its probability distribution was determined as log-normal distribution, and associated CNs were found about probability levels of Pr=0.1, 0.5, and 0.9, respectively. A subwatershed that has the similar portions of land use categories to the whole watershed of Jangseong reservoir was selected and hydrologic monitoring was conducted. CNs for subwatershed were determined using observed data. CNs determined from observed rainfall-runoff data and reservoir water balance analysis were compared to the suggested CNs by the method of SCS-NEH4. The $CN_{II}$ measured and estimated from water balance analysis in this study were 78.0 and 78.1, respectively. However, the $CN_{II}$, which was determined based on hydrologic soil group, land use, was 67.2 indicating that actual runoff potential of Jangseong reservoir watershed is higher than that evaluated by SCS-NEH4 method. The results showed that watershed runoff potential for large scale agricultural reservoirs needs to be examined for efficient management of water resources and flood prevention.

  • In this paper, a groundwater hydrological study of the Gyeongju well during the Silla period is conducted to investigate how sufficiently the Gyeongju well supplied water demand at the time. It is assumed that the current geology and soil condition in Gyeongju remain similar to the Silla period. Also, the land use and land coverage during the Silla period is estimated based on the current land condition in Gyeongju. Precipitation during the Silla period is analyzed using precipitation data from 1984 to 2014 provided by Gyeonju weather station. Precipitation analysis is applied based on 3 different scenarios; precipitation intensity during the Silla period was Case (1) the same as, Case (2) 30% more, and Case (3) 30% less than the precipitation intensity of the last decade (2005~2014). Furthermore, to observe the use of the well in Gyeongju during droughts, the following condition(Case (4)) is also considered; ten year drought during the Silla period was the same as the ten year drought from 1984 to 2014. Available amount of groundwater development is analyzed using NRCS-CN method. The results show that the potential amount of groundwater in Gyeongju during Silla era was for Case (1) $62,825,272m^3/year$, Case (2) $93,606,567m^3/year$, Case (3) $32,277,298m^3/year$, and Case (4)$32,870,896m^3/year$. Also, it has been shown that $45,260,000m^3$ of groundwater were required to supply to all households in Gyeongju during Silla era. Therefore, if the precipitation intensity during Silla era was similar with the last decade, the groundwater would provide enough supply to all households in Gyeongju. However, in the case that the precipitation intensity during Silla era was 30% less than the last decade or a ten year drought happened, it is predicted that the water use in Gyeongju would have been limited.

  • Ihe purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects the storage type of permeable concrete block paving (ST-PCBP) have on runoff reduction and infiltration increasement at Andong Maskdance Festival Square. This was accomplished using the NRCS-curve number method over the last 10 years. Two different scenarios were developed in this study for low impact development (LID) design. For the $1^{st}$ scenario, the walking path and parking lot were install using the ST-PCBP and runoff from the inline skating rink ($3,808m^2$) and lawn ($11,191m^2$) were routed to the ST-PCBP, but the rooftop runoff flowed into the storm water drainage system. For the $2^{nd}$ scenario, one of the non-structural BMPs, disconnected impervious surface (DIS), was applied so additional runoff from rooftop would enter the ST-PCBP. It was determined that ST-PCBP could significantly reduce surface runoff from the study area and increase infiltration with 71% and 88% of surface runoff reduction and 151% and 215% of infiltration increasement for scenarios 1 and 2, respectively. The effect of LID in the $2^{nd}$ scenario was better than the $1^{st}$ scenario, therefore DIS in conjunction with ST-PCBP could be a more cost-effective LID application.

  • With the rapid and wide-spread use of mobile communications much attention has been focussed on propagation in the urban area crowed with buildings. It is often surrounded by hills, forests, and mountains. The importance of surface scattering interference between transmitters and receivers on the rough surfaces has been interested and investigated. Therefore, a prediction method is necessary to estimate the influence of rough surfaces on microwave radio propagation. Moreover, most of the mobile communications are performed based on the digital communication system rather than the analog one. In this case, we must pay more careful attention to the signal delay caused by the phase delay due to the multi-path propagation. In this paper we have analyzed numerically scattering of electromagnetic waves from Composite structures by using FVTD (Finite Volume Time Domain) method. We consider two different types of rough surfaces such as periodic and composite structures.

  • 강우 발생시 유역에 집수된 물이 하천에 이르는 경로에 따른 유출은 지표유출, 지표하유출, 지하수유출로 구분된다. 정확한 수문순환 과정의 해석을 위해서는 지표 흐름뿐만 아니라 지표하 및 지하수 흐름의 해석이 중요한 실정이나 일반적으로 실무에서 사용되는 강우-유출해석 모형은 지표유출을 해석하기 위한 모형이 대부분이며, 지표하 유출과 침투량을 산정하는데 어려움이 있다. 일반적인 강우-유출해석 모형은 Horton 방법, NRCS 방법, Green-Ampt 방법에 의해 유효우량을 분리하며, 이 과정은 침투량을 직접적으로 모형화 할 수 없으므로 지표 및 지표하, 지하수 흐름을 복합적으로 해석할 수 있는 모형이 질적이나 양적으로 부족한 실정이다. 이러한 지표하 흐름과 침투량을 산정하기 위하여 FE-FLOW, PM, MS-VMS, GMS, GW-VISTAS, ARGUS 및 MODFLOW와 같은 지하수 모형을 사용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지표하유출 산정을 위한 침투량의 비교분석을 위해 현재 가장 범용되는 지하수 유동 모델링 프로그램인 Visual Modlfow 모형과 GMS 모형을 이용하여 침투량 산정을 위한 수치 모의를 진행하였다. 각 모형의 입력자료는 2009년 국립방재연구원에서 수행한 침투실험시설 자료를 이용하여 동일한 조건을 부여하고, 두 모형의 비교를 위해 Visual Modflow에서는 MODFLOW의 기본 해석방법인 유한차분법(FDM)을 이용하고, GMS 모형에서는 3차원 유한요소해석이 가능한 GMS-FEMWATER를 이용하였다. 두 모형의 수치모의 조건으로 2009년 국립방재연구원에서 수행한 침투실험방법과 동일하게 공극률에 따른 투수성 보도블럭의 구분과 50mm/hr, 100mm/hr, 150mm/hr, 200mm/hr의 강우강도별 선행함수조건에 따른 수치모의를 진행하였으며, 수치모의된 침투량의 적정성을 판단하기 위하여 국립방재연구원의 침투실험 결과자료와 비교분석하였다. 침투실험 자료와 각각 수치모의된 침투량을 비교분석한 결과 서로 유사한 경향을 보이고 있으나 초기 침투시 상대오차가 비교적 크게 발생하였다. 이는 수치모형의 경우 수리실험과는 다르게 모의시작과 동시에 해당 강우강도의 침투가 시작되므로 초기 유입 유출량 발생시간의 차이가 종료시간까지 누적 침투량에 미치는 것으로 판단되며, 매개변수에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.

  • 강우-유출에 대한 수문해석에 있어 유효강우량 산정방법으로는 여러 가지가 있으나 국내외로 미농무부(United States Department of Agriculture)에서 제안한 NRCS-CN 방법이 널리 사용되고 있다. SCS-CN 방법은 1개의 매개변수만을 사용하여 방법이 간략하고 유역 토양특성의 반영이 가능하다는 장점이 있으나 공간적 규모에 따른 효과반영이 불가하고 초기손실우량비를 0.2로 고정하는 가정의 문제점 등이 있다. 많은 연구자들이 SCS-CN 방법의 문제점을 보완하고자 다양한 방법을 제시하였으며 특히 Michel 등(2005)은 토양수분계산가정(Soil Moisture Accounting Procedure)에서 유출기준저류고를 새로운 매개변수로 제안하여 초기손실우량비 가정의 불합리성을 개선하고 새로운 AMC 조건식을 산정하였다. 그러나 범용적인 AMC 조건식을 제안하고자 140개 유역에 적용한 결과를 통해 유출기준저류고는 토양의 최대잠재보유수량의 1/3으로 일괄 적용하는 문제점이 있으며, 민감도분석을 통해 전체 결과의 효율이 좋은 값으로 선정하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 일 단위 집중형 장기유출모형인 GR4J(Ge'nie Rural a' 4 parame'tres Journalier)를 Michel이 제안한 모형을 적용하기 위해 선정하였으며 토양수분계산과정에서 새로운 매개변수인 유출기준저류고를 최적화기법인 화음탐색법을 적용하여 결정하였다. 적용대상은 국내의 달방댐, 횡성댐, 섬진강댐, 청주댐, 대청댐유역에 적용하였으며 본 연구에서 제안한 방법이 강우-유출 결과의 정확성을 향상시키는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 최종적으로 최적화된 유출기준저류고와 유역크기와의 상관성분석을 통하여 관계식을 도출하였다. 토양수분과정에 대한 고려는 유출량을 산정하는 데 있어서 정확성을 높이는 데 기여할 수 있으며 더불어 본 연구에서 제안한 관계식을 통하여 유출기준저류고와 유역특성과의 연관성을 확인할 수 있었다.
