Problems of under-sized dams (small dams with large basin area) could get worse under the global warming condition. This study evaluates the possible change of these problems with the Namgang Dam, an under-sized dam in Korea. For this purpose, first, this study simulates the dam inflow data using a rainfall-runoff model, which are then used as input for the reservoir operation. As a result, daily dam storage, dam release, and dam water supply are derived and compared for both past observed period (1973~2022) and future simulated period (2006~2099) based on the global warming scenarios. Summarizing the results are as follows. First, the inflow rate in the future is expected to be increased significantly. The maximum inflow could be twice of that observed in the past. As a result, it is also expected that the frequency of the water level reaching the high level is increasing. Also, the amount and frequency of dam release are to be increased in the future period. More seriously, this increase is expected to be concentrated on rather extreme cases with large dam release volume. Simply, the condition for flood protection in the downstream of the Namgang Dam is becoming worse and worse. Ironically, the severity of water shortage problem is also expected to become much worse. As the most extreme case, the frequency of no water supply was zero in the observed period, but in the future period, it becomes once every five years. Both the maximum consecutive shortage days and the total shortage volume are expected to become more than twice in the future period. To prevent or mitigate this coming problem of an under-sized dam, the only countermeasure at this moment seems to be its redevelopment. Simply a bigger dam with larger dam reservoir can handle this adverse effect more easily.

Non-point source pollutant load reductions were calculated using the Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) model under the assumption that landuse pattern was changed according to land purchases. Upon the simulation of non-point pollutant and areas with high land purchase ratios to select a buffer zone, the Namgang dam Reach 11, Imha dam Reach 10, and the Reach 136 watershed of the main river were found to rank high for the construction of buffer zones. Assuming that the forms of the purchased lands were changed to wetlands, biological oxygen demand (BOD) loads were changed through the HSPF model. No changes of BOD were present in the Namgang dam and the Imha dam watersheds. BOD loads in Reach 136 according to landuse change were analyzed through a flow duration analysis based on the total maximum daily loads of the United States. The flow duration analyses undertaken to examine changes in BOD of main river Reach 136 watershed indicated a shift of 0.64 kg/d from 3.16 to 2.52 during high flow. The change of BOD under the conditions of moist, mid-range and dry were 11.9%, 9% and 4.5%. At the low flow condition, the variation range in the BOD load was from 0.58 kg/d to 0.41 kg/d.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the applicability of a HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran) model for runoff estimation in the Namgang dam watershed. Spatial data, such as watershed, stream, land use, and a digital elevation map, were used as input for the HSPF model, which was calibrated and validated using observed runoff data from 2004 to 2015 for three stations (Sancheong, Shinan, Changchon) in the study watershed. Parameters for runoff calibration were selected based on the user's manual and references, and parameter calibration was done by trial and error. The $R^2$ (determination coefficient), RMSE (root-mean-square error), NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient), and RMAE (relative mean absolute error) were used to evaluate the model's performance. Calibration and validation results showed that annual mean runoff was within a ${\pm}5%$ error in Sancheong and Shinan, whereas there was a14% error in Changchon. The model performance criteria for calibration and validation showed that $R^2$ ranged from 0.80 to 0.92, RMSE was 2.33 to 2.39 mm/day, NSE was 0.71 to 0.85, and RMAE was 0.37 to 0.57 mm/day for daily runoff. Visual inspection showed that the simulated daily flow, monthly flow, and flow exceedance graph agreed well with observations for the Sancheong and Shinan stations, whereas the simulated flow was higher than observed at the Changchon station.

The objective of this study is to estimate the flood runoff for three guaged stations within Namgang-Dam watershed which are operated by KWATER. For a flood runoff simulation, HEC-HMS was applied and the simulated runoff was compared with observed from 2004 to 2008. The watershed area of Sancheong, Shinan, and Changchon were 693.6 $km^2$, 413.4 $km^2$, and 346.48 $km^2$, respectively. The average runoff ratio of observed runoff for three watersheds were 0.725, 0.418, and 0.586, respectively. The dominant land cover of three watersheds are forest with the value of 71.6 %, 73.1 %, and 82.0 %. Three different cases according to the potential maximum retention of forest areas for calculating the curve number were applied to decrease the error between the simulated and observed. The simulated peak runoff of case 3 which applied the 90 % of potential maximum retention of curve number which is equivalent to AMCI for all the AMCI, AMCII, and AMCIII conditions showed least root mean square error (RMSE). The case 1, which was suggested by previous study, showed high discrepancy between the simulated and observed. Since the forest area consists of more than 70 % for all three watersheds, the application of curve number for forest is critical to improve the estimation errors. Further research is required to estimate the more accurate curve number for forest area.

Optimized BMP plans for controlling water quality using the Pareto trade-off surface curve in upper basin of Namgang Dam is proposed. The proposed alternatives consist of BMP installation scenarios in which the reduction efficiency of non-point pollutants is maximized in a given budget. The multi-objective optimization process for determining the optimal alternatives was performed without direct implementation of a watershed model such as SWAT analysis, thereby reducing the time taken. The shortening of the calculation time further enhances the applicability of the multi-objective optimization technique in preparing regional water quality management alternatives. In this study, different types of BMP are applied depending on the land use conditions. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip are considered as alternatives to applying BMP to the field but only control of fertilizer input can be applied to rice paddies. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip can be installed separately or simultaneously in a hydrologic response unit. Finally, 175 BMP application alternatives were developed for the water quality management of the upper river basin of Namgang dam. The proposed application alternative can be displayed on the map, which has the advantage of clearly defining the BMP installation location.

본 연구는 남강댐에서 대규모 선버들 군락의 확장과 고사가 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 선버들 군락의 분포면적은 최초로 2003년에 0.12 km²였으나 2019년에는 3.58 km²로서 16 년 사이에 약 30 배로 급격하게 확장되었다. 그러나, 2013년에는 일부가 고탁도 장기 침수와 선버들 군락 내에서의 자기 솎음질(self-thining)에 의하여 분포면적이 0.17 km² 감소했다. 남강댐 저수지의 호소특성은 평균수심, 유역면적/호수 수면적 비, 체류시간, 회전율 및 성층화 등의 측면에서 호소형과 하천형이 복합적으로 나타났다. 호소수질에 대한 장기변동 특성을 분석한 결과, 대규모 선버들 군락지에서 COD, TP 및 엽록소 a 등이 남강댐 수역의 중앙부에 위치한 3 개 지점에 비하여 현저하게 크게 나타났다. 특히, 엽록소 a의 값이 남강댐 수질측정망 3 개 지점의 경향과 다르게 여름이 아닌 겨울에 최대값을 나타내는 것은 외부의 유입보다는 내부에서 발생된 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 남강댐 저수지에서 수질 악화의 한 가지 원인은 선버들 군락에서 낙엽, 가지 및 고사목 등 부산물의 분해과정에서 발생하는 막대한 양의 영양염류인 것으로 추정할 수 있다.

In this study, four methods for calculation of continuous daily flow was suggested using short-term or partial recording station of streamflow including missing data. Using these methods, standard flows at the outlet of unit/small basins for the management of total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) in Namgang dam basin were estimated from full-period flow duration curve (FDC). Four methods of extension are described, and their properties are explored. The methods are regression (REG), regression plus noise (RPN), and maintenance of variance extension types 1 and 2 (MOVE.1, MOVE.2). In these methods, the continuous daily flow was calculated using extension equation based on correlation analysis, after conducting the correlation analysis between historic record of streamflow and long-term recording station (a base station). Finally the best optimal method was selected as the MOVE.2, and the standard flows in the abundant, ordinary, low and drought flow estimated from FDC was evaluated using MOVE.2 in unit/small basins.

본 연구에서는 EFDC 모델을 이용하여 광양만과 진주만 해역에 대한 조석과 수온, 염분을 고려한 3차원 해수순환 양상을 재현하였다. 수치모델 결과는 관측 자료를 이용하여 검증하였고 그 결과 모델은 관측결과를 잘 재현하였다. 실험 결과, 연구해역의 해수순환은 노량수도와 대방수도 중간 해역에서 해수가 수렴 및 발산되는 양상을 보이고 잔차류는 전형적인 2층 순환구조를 보인다. 모델을 통해 광양만과 진주만 일대의 밀도성층 변화를 분석한 결과, 연구해역은 담수의 영향이 지배적인 해역으로 진주만의 경우 남강댐 방류의 영향을 지배적으로 받는 해역이지만 남강댐에서 방류를 하지 않는 경우에는 섬진강의 영향도 받는 것으로 나타났다. 한편 남강댐 방류시에는 광양만의 성층이 상대적으로 강화되는 결과를 볼 수 있었다.

The goal of this study is to establish an integrated watershed hydrologic model for the whole Nakdong River basin whose area is an approximately 24,000 km2. Including a number of watershed elements such as rainfall, runoff, water use, and so on, the proposed model is based on SWAT model, and is used to improve the flow duration curve estimation of ungauged watersheds for Korean Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). The model is also used to recognize quantitatively the river flow variation due to water use elements and large dam effluents in the whole watershed. The established combined watershed hydrologic model, SWAT-Nakdong, is used to evaluate the quantified influences of artificial water balance elements, such as a dam and water use in the watershed. We apply two water balance scenarios in this study: the dam scenario considering effluent conditions of 4 large multi-purpose dams, Andong dam, Imha dam, Namgang dam, and Habcheon dam, and the water use scenario considering a water use for stream line and the effluent from a treatment plant. The two scenarios are used to investigate the impacts on TMDL design flow and flow duration of particular locations in Nakdong River main stream. The results from this study will provide the basic guideline for the natural flow restoration in Nakdong River.
