As a basic work for river restoration, analysis on fluvial geomorphological characteristics is made using past and present data to understand close-to-nature geomorphic status. The Miho and the Naesung Rivers are targets of this study. Fluvial geomorphic variables including valley-floor width, sinuosity, bankfull width, channel gradient, bed material size, bankfull discharge and unit stream power are evaluated with dominant processes. Though common sand-bed rivers with similar catchment area, the Miho and the Naesung Rivers are different in terms of valley-floor width, channel shape variables and dominant processes related with longitudinal location. In addition, analyses on interrelationship among the geomorphological variables are carried. Bankfull width is shown to be proportional to bankfull discharge, as is in a rough agreement with the previous studies. Relationship of bankfull discharge and channel gradient shows meandering and braiding are prevalent in the Miho River, whereas the most of the sub-reaches of the Naesung River fall to braiding. Relationship of channel gradient with width-depth ratio indicates dune-ripple processes are dominant in the Miho River, while the Naesung River shows longitudinal diversity from braiding in the downstream sub-reaches to riffle-pool and plane-bed along the upper ones. Analyses based on the past data on a river in a close-to-nature status are thought to be rather reasonable in comparison with those on the same river in a engineered condition.

The distributed watershed model of rainfall-runoff-soil erosion-sedimen transport was constructed for the Naesung Stream Watershed with high potentiality and risk of sediments produced by soil erosion. The sensitivity analyses of roughness coefficient and hydraulic conductivity which affected the modeling results of runoff and sediment concentration were performed in this study. As a result, the change of the roughness coefficient for the forest area from 0.4 to 0.45 did not affect the change in runoff and stream discharge and the average value and range of sediment concentration were also insignificantly increased with few difference. As a result of the sensitivity analysis of the hydraulic conductivity, the total amount of runoff and maximum runoff were gradually increased as the hydraulic conductivity was reduced. In the case of sediment concentration modeling, the average and the range of sediment concentration for all stations were increased as the hydraulic conductivity was decreased. For the Hyangseok Station, in case of the hydraulic conductivity reduced by 50%, the simulation result of sediment concentration was most similar to the estimated value by the sediment rating curve.

본 연구는 내성천에 대한 장기간 수문 모니터링을 결과를 이용하여 사주 위에 활착하는 식생의 변화 과정을 추정하고 증명하였다. 2012년부터 2016년은 영주댐이 완공되어 정상 운영을 시작하기 이전인 시기로 자연 흐름이 마지막으로 지속된 시기이다. 이 기간에 대한 수문 모니터링 정보는 댐 하류 주요 지점에 대한 수위, 단면 측량, 유량 측정 자료, 사진 모니터링 자료를 정기적으로 조사하였다. 이러한 모니터링 결과는 내성천을 따라 형성된 관심 사주에 초점을 맞추어 분석하였다. 사주에 형성된 식생은 홍수위와 그에 따른 소류력에 의해 하상재료인 모래가 퇴적되느냐 침식되느냐에 따라 식생의 활착 및 감소가 결정된다. 이는 관심 지점에 대한 정기적인 사진 모니터링 결과에서도 확인할 수 있었다. 영주댐은 2016년 말부터 담수에 의한 정상적인 운영을 시작하여 발전 방류를 위한 조절 댐의 역할을 하고 있다. 영주댐 운영 후 내성천에 미치는 다양한 영향을 판단하기 위해 지난 5년간 모니터링 자료는 비교 자료로서 소중한 가치를 가질 것이다.

This study quantified directional properties of channel network and hill slope for a river basin by applying the von Mises distribution, also examined the relation between them. Ultimately, it was examined that whether the directional properties of channel network and hill slope have a certain relation, which might be considered to the rainfall-runoff modeling. From the results derived by analyzing the Naesung stream basin, the von Mises distribution was found well to explain the directional characteristics of directional properties of channel network. There was a clear relation between directional properties of channel network and hill slope. The higher-order streams also showed very obvious modal characteristics. The results derived in this study could be helpful to estimate more quantitatively the difference in the runoff response with respect to the directional properties of channel network and hill slope.

Hyporheic zone is an area where hydraulic exchanges occur between surface water and ground water. Such transient area is anticipated to facilitate diverse biogeochemical reactions by providing habitats for various microorganism. However, only a few data are available about microbial properties in hyporheic zone, which would be important in better understanding of biogeochemical reactions in whole streams. The study site is Naesung stream, located in the north Kyoung-Sang Province, of which sediment is sandy with little anthropogenic impacts. Soil samples were collected from a transect placed perpendicular to stream flow. The transect includes upland fringe area dominated by Phragmites japonica, bare soil, and soil adjacent to water. In addition, soil samples were also collected from downwelling and upwelling areas in hyporheic zone within the main channel. Soils were collected from 3 depth in each area, and water content, pH, and DOC were measured. Various microbial properties including extracellular enzyme activities ($\beta$-glucosidase, N-acetylglucosaminidase, phosphatase and arylsulfatase), and microbial community structure using T-RFLP were also determined. The results exhibited a positive correlation between water content and DOC, and between extracellular enzyme activities and DOC. Distinctive patterns were observed in soils adjacent to water and hyporheic zone compared with other soils. Overall results of study provided basic information about microbial properties of hyporheic zone, which appeared to be discernable from other locations in the stream corridor.

Sediment discharge by long-term runoff in the Nakdong River watershed should be predicted for the maintenance and management of the Nakdong River newly changed by the four major river restoration project. The data establishment by the analysis of runoff and sediment discharge using the long-term watershed model is necessary to predict possible problems by incoming sediments and to prepare countermeasures for the maintenance and management. Therefore, sediment discharges by long-term runoff in the main points of the Nakdong River were calculated using SWAT(soil and water assessment tool) model and the relations and features between rainfall, runoff, and sediment discharge were analyzed in this study. As a result of sediment discharge calculation in the main points of the Nakdong River and tributaries, the sediment discharge at the outlet of the Naesung Stream was greater than the Jindong Station in the Lower Nakdong River from 1999 to 2008 except the years with low precipitation. The sediment discharge at the Nakdong River Estuary Barrage (NREB) was corresponding to 20% of the Jindong Station which is located about 80 km upstream from NREB.

수변식생(riparian vegetation)은 하천 지형학적 프로세스에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 하나로, 최근 기후변화와 더불어 중요성이 커지고 있다. 내성천은 사질 곡류 하천으로, 2014년과 2015년 유량 감소에 의해 급격한 식생의 정착이 나타났다. 내성천 수변식생의 정착 및 활착은 수문-지형학적 프로세스에 영향을 미쳤고, 결과적으로 하도와 범람원의 형태를 변화시켰다. 이와 같은 변화를 예측하고 분석하는 것은 이수, 치수 및 방재 정책과 생태계 사이의 균형 및 조화를 추구하는 정책결정에 필수적이다. 그러나 식생을 고려하지 않은 기존의 수문-지형 모델링에서는 이와 같은 변화를 재현할 수 없다. 본 연구의 목적은 흐름, 식생, 지형의 상호작용이 하천 지형에 미치는 영향을 시각화 및 분석하고, 식생을 고려하지 않은 기존의 모델들의 결과와 비교하고자 한다. 본 초록은 이를 위해 수문-지형학 모델인 D-Flow-FM을 수변 식생 모델과 결합한 커플링 모델(Van Oorschot et al., 2016)을 활용하여 내성천에서 2013년부터 2019년까지의 발생한 지형학적 프로세스와 식생 사이의 상호작용을 재현한 예비결과이다. 식생 모델 결과는 내성천 현장조사 자료와 원격탐사 자료를 이용해 검보정하였다. 식생을 고려한 모델의 하천 형태는 식생을 고려하지 않은 모델의 결과에 비해 좁고 깊은 형태로 나타났으며, 지형학적 변동성이 적게 나타났다. 이는 유량 변화와 관련하여 생태-지형학적 프로세스로 인한 수변 식생 변동성이 강의 형태에 영향을 미쳤다는 것을 보여준다. 모의된 하천의 형태학적 특성이나 식생의 분포 특성은 항공사진과 비교했을 때 준수한 수준이다. 본 모델은 기후변화에 따른 식생의 변동성이 하천에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 데에 활용할 수 있으며, 수문-생태-지형학적 프로세스에 의한 하천의 변화를 예측하고 분석하는 데에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

The land use map of the Nakdong River watershed was classified by each land use contents and analyzed to rank the risk of soil loss and erosion. Also, the soil loss and erosion was evaluated in the Nakdong River watershed using Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) and the subbasin with high risk of soil loss was evaluated with the analysis results of land use contents. Finally, the analyzed results were also compared with the landslide risk map, hence the practical application methods using developed and analyzed results were considered in this study. As a result of land use analysis and RUSLE calculation, it was represented that the Naesung Stream watershed had the high risk for soil loss among the subbasins of the Nakdong River watershed. It was also presented that the high risk area identified by computation of RUSLE was corresponding to the landslide risk area. However, the high risk of soil erosion by land use near the river or wetland was confirmed only through the calculation results of RUSLE.

In this study, a comparative review was conducted on how to use RGB images to obtain river topographic information, which is one of the most essential data for eco-friendly river management and flood level analysis. In terms of the topographic information of river zone, to obtain the topographic information of flow section is one of the difficult topic, therefore, this study focused on estimating the river topographic information of flow section through RGB images. For this study, the river topography surveying was directly conducted using ADCP and RTK-GPS, and at the same time, and orthomosiac image were created using high-resolution images obtained by drone photography. And then, the existing developed regression equations were applied to the result of channel topography surveying by ADCP and the band values of the RGB images, and the channel bathymetry in the study area was estimated using the regression equation that showed the best predictability. In addition, CCHE2D flow modeling was simulated to perform comparative verification of the topographical informations. The modeling result with the image-based topographical information provided better water depth and current velocity simulation results, when it compared to the directly measured topographical information for which measurement of the sub-section was not performed. It is concluded that river topographic information could be obtained from RGB images, and if additional research was conducted, it could be used as a method of obtaining efficient river topographic information for river management.
