Most of hydrological processes of groundwater recharge generally are occupied a rainfall, and recharged an aquifer along infiltrate into subsurface. These processes mainly have an influence by hydrological characteristics and topographic gradient of the aquifer. Development of water resources and its management is not good because of temporal and spatial disproportion in local rainfall. In order to deal with insufficiency of water resources from now on, development of groundwater dam requires a plan of a sustainable of new water resources. These are necessary that investigation of construction area of groundwater dam, effective groundwater development interconnected with surface water and groundwater, and assessment of an application of groundwater dam for utilization of water resources. Tn this study we were derived the input data by geological survey, hydraulic and hydrological analysis around Hoengchun-river, located in Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam Province where is a plan area for construction of groundwater dam. Based on input data we were carried out the interconnected analysis of surface water and groundwater using the SWAT-MODFLOW, and predicted groundwater fluctuation of its construction before and after.

This is a continuous study on the dam effects for the spatial extension of flood data. In this study, flood reduction rates of dams and their influences on downstream using the spatially extended flood data were implemented. Nam-Han River was selected for measuring the impacts of ChoongJu and HoangSung dams. In the evaluations of flood reduction rate at dams, the larger flood events have the lower flood reduction rates for both dams. At the YeoJoo water level station, the analyses of the relations between flood reduction rates and the sizes of watersheds dams located were performed. the sizes of watersheds having a functional dam have highly influenced on the reduction rates of flood. The average of flood reduction rates was smaller than the area rate. For instances, area rates of HoangSung (0.02) and ChoongJu dams (0.6) are larger than the average flood reduction rates for HoangSung (0.01) and ChoongJu dams (0.51), respectively. However, the water level station follows the dam flood reduction characteristics of dams themselves. The spatial effects of dam flood reductions are analyzed based on the three water level stations (GangChun, YeoJoo, YangPyung). The distance of flood reduction rates lower than 0.1 as average flood reduction rate was the area 7 times of watershed having a dam with 0.02 as a minimum reduction rate.

In this study, the effects of changed environment on spatial extension of flood discharge data which is generating discharge data at ungauged watersheds. Especially, effects of dams on spatial extensions of flood discharge data and on natural flow generation were studied. This is somehow an intial trial of flood discharge data generation for heterogeneous watersheds because of dam installation. Data extensions have been performed based on the flood discharge data from YeoJoo water gauge station located on the Nam-Han River. For the evaluation of flood discharge data spatial extension under dam effects and producing natural flow, 41 flood events associated with YeoJoo water gauge station were selected from 1986 to 2010. When flood discharge data were extended based on YeoJoo water gauge station, 77% of selected flood events were over the satisfaction ranges (NSE>0.5) of Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency for model validation. Extended flood discharge data at Yangpyung has 0.84 NSE obtained from spatial data extension based on YeoJoo water gauge station. Generated natural flow at YeoJoo was influenced strongly by Chungju Dam which has larger effects on streamflow at YeoJoo than Hoangsung Dam. Observed peak discharges after the 1986 of Chungju Dam installation were smaller than those of the obtained natural flow. Through these results, spatial extension of flood discharge data with installed dams works efficiently for ungauged watersheds and natural flow can be generated using extended flood discharge data.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the hydrologic changes and the effect of runoff characteristics of a large river basin due to construction of a dam. The changes of land use and vegetation are quantified from remote sensing film taken before and after dam construction. Evapotranspiration, runoff and soil moisture were calculated using water balance equation. It was found that the albedo of watershed upstream of the dam is decreasing due to the decreasing of vegetation and the increasing of water surface and forest, and the increasing of potential evpotranspiration and soil moisture led to increasing actual evpotranspiration and runoff ratio after dam construction.

The purpose of this study is to simulate the riverbed profile changes downstream of Daecheong re-regulation dam from 1988 to 2001, to evaluate the model's applicability and to predict a long-term riverbed-level variation between 2002 and 2017. As a result of simulation 14 sediment transport equations provided by GSTAR-1D, it was found that Acker's & White formula was the most stable relatively. The interval used to calculate its stability was 7 days for bankful discharge$(1,000m^2/s)$, 3 days for daily maximum flow$(4,273m^2/s)$, 1 day for hourly maximum flow$(7,605m^2/s)$ and minimum flow$(8.5m^2/s)$. The simulation results of river bed changes were evaluated and compared to its measure data from 1988 to 2001. It was showed that there was the degradation for a section between Daecheong re-regulation dam and Maepo water stage gage station due to bed-material, and the degradation for a reach between Maepo and Gongju water stage gage station due to massive aggregate collection. Also, as a result of simulating the river profile change for 2002 to 2017, it was predicted that the section between Daecheong re-regulation dam and Geumnam Bridge would remain as the present profile and the reach between Maepo and Gongju water stage gage station would have some degradations in several parts, which would be stable as a whole unless it was due to artificial river profile change.

The objective of this study is to estimate the unregulated flood frequency from Chungju dam to Yangpyung gauging station for the region affected by dams based on the peak discharges simulated by storage function routing model. From the flood frequency analyses, the quantiles for the unregulated flood frequency at 6 sites have similar pattern to each other, and their averaged quantile almost matched to the result from the regional flood frequency analysis. The quantile and annual mean discharge for the unregulated flood frequency for the downstream of Chungju dam show the similar behaviour to those for the upstream area. While the quantile and the annual mean discharge for the regulated flood frequency are significantly different from those for the unregulated flood frequency. In particular, the qunatile shows severe difference as the return period increases, and the annual mean discharge has a tendency to approach to the natural flood as the distance from dam increases.

Lately, it is an important concern in water resources research to maintain a stable water supply according to a future climate change and an increase in water use. In Han-River basin, approximately 10 % of water resources that is provided the capital region (Gyeonggi, Seoul etc.) has been reduced as a consequence of the construction of Imnam Dam (storage volume: 27 billion $m^3$) located in the upper Hwacheon Dam upstream area. Therefore, streamflows have decreased in Bukhangang basin, but it could not be evaluated quantitatively. In this study, SWAT-K which is the physically based long-term runoff simulation model, was used in order to evaluate the effect of Imnam Dam on the reduced inflow to Hwacheon Dam according to the change of hydrological condition in the upstream area of Hwacheon Dam. For the model input data of North Korea area, meteorological data of GTS (Global Telecommunication System) were used, and soil maps by FAO/UNESCO (2003) were applied. Temporal variations of water resources is investigated with comparison of observed and simulated inflows at Hawcheon Dam site. Also, annual, monthly, seasonal decreases in water resources were evaluated using the flow duration analysis of simulated streamflows with or without Imnam dam.

과거의 무분별한 수자원 개발에 따른 자연환경파괴로 인해 점차 대규모 다목적댐의 건설과 같은 신규 수자원 개발이 쉽지 않은 상황이지만, 여전히 댐은 유한의 수자원을 적극적으로 확보하기 위한 가장 대표적인 방법으로서, 안정적인 용수 확보를 통한 물부족의 해소와 효율적인 운영을 통한 홍수와 가뭄 피해 예방을 위해 중요한 역할을 해오고 있다. 댐의 건설로 인해 하류측 본류에서는 과거와 같은 유량의 극심한 계절적인 편차는 감소되었으며, 가뭄이나 홍수에 대한 피해 규모도 저감되었다고 볼 수 있다. 댐 건설에 따른 수문학적 변화에 대한 분석은 실제 댐 건설 전후의 장기적인 관측자료를 비교하는 것이 가장 정확한 방법이나, 대부분 관측자료가 전무하거나 충분하지 못하기 때문에 일반적으로 모델링을 통해 장기간의 유출자료를 추정한 후 이를 기반으로 그 영향을 평가하고 있다. 모델링 방법으로는 과거부터 오랫동안 국내 수자원 해석 및 계획에 폭넓게 활용되고 있는 TANK 모형을 비롯하여, SSARR, NWS-PC, TOPMODEL, HSPF, PRMS, SLURP, SWAT, MIKE-SHE 등 다양한 모형들이 적용되고 있다. 이 중에서 SWAT은 유역의 수문 수질의 시공간적인 해석 및 관리, 그리고 미래 유역환경변화에 따른 영향 평가 등을 위해 국내는 물론 국제적으로도 많이 적용되고 있는 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형을 국내 유역 특성에 적합하도록 개선한 SWAT-K 모형을 이용하여, 금강유역에서의 대청댐 및 용담댐의 운영과 인위적인 용수 이용에 따른 유출량, 증발산량 및 지하수 함양량 등의 수문성분의 변화를 분석하였다. 대청댐의 건설과 유역내 용수 이용으로 인해 하류측 공주지점에서의 유출량은 자연상태에 비해 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 지하수 함양량과 증발산량은 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.

During drought season, the self-purification capacities of the four major rivers in Korea are significantly controlled by environmental maintenance flows supplied from the mid- or upstream large dams. Therefore, it is obviously important to operate the dams considering not only water quantity aspects but also conservation of downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Mathematical water quality models can be efficiently used to serve as a decision support tool for evaluating the effects of operational alternatives of upstream dams on the downstream aquatic environment. In this study, an unsteady one-dimensional water quality model, KORIV1-WIN was developed based on the theoretical and numerical algorithms for hydrodynamics and water quality simulations of CE-QUAL-RIV1. It consists of hydrodynamic(KORIV1H) and water quality(KORIV1Q) modules, and pre- and post-processors for input data preparations and output displays. The model can be used to predict one-dimensional hydraulic and water quality variations in rivers with highly unsteady flows such as dam outflow change, rainfall-runoff, and chemical spill events.

The heavy strom of July 26-28, 1996, which occurred over the Northern Kyungi Province and Western Kangwon Province, is analyzed to investigate the hydrometeorological characteristics and frequency of occurrences of the storm. The study region is limited to the watershed area of Hantan River on which the partially destructed Yeonchon Dam is located. Hourly rainfall data at 21 rain gauging stations in and near the Hantan river basin are collected and the cumulative rainfall mass curves constructed and compared each other to judge the credibility and consistency of rainfall data at nearby stations. In order to analyze the spatially moving characteristics of rain storm the isochrones based on real time are constructed using the several fixed-percentage cumulative rainfalls at the stations. The basin average rainfalls of various durations are computed for Yeonchon dam and the return period of July/1996 storm are evaluated based on the rainfall frequency curves at Cheolwon and Yeonchon rain gauging stations. A comparison is also made between the July/1996 storm and PMP of the region, which demonstrated the severity of the heavy storm.
