Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration is mightily important for understanding and analyzing the hydrological cycle. There are various methods for estimating evapotranspiration and each method has its own advantages and limitations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an optimal evapotranspiration product by combing different evapotranspiration products. In this study, we developed an optimal evapotranspiration by fusing two satellite- and model-based evapotranspiration estimates, including revised remote sensing-based Penman-Monteith (RS-PM) and Modified Satellite-Based Priestley-Taylor (MS-PT) methods, Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), and Global Land Evaporation Amsterdam Model (GLEAM). The statistical analysis (i.e., correlation coefficients, index of agreement, MAE, and RMSE) of combined evapotranspiration product showed to be improved compared to the individual model results. After confirming the overall results, in future studies, advanced data fusion techniques will be used to obtained improved results.

This study aims to assess the changes in crop water requirement of paddy and upland according to future climate and land use changes scenarios. Changes in the spatiotemporal distribution of temperature and precipitation are factors that lower the stability of agricultural water supply, and predicting the changes in crop water requirement in consideration of climate change can prevent the waste of limited water resources. Meanwhile, due to the recent changes in the agricultural product consumption structure, the area of paddy and upland has been changing, and it is necessary to consider future land use changes in establishing an appropriate water use plan. Climate change scenarios were derived from the four GCMs of the CMIP6, and climate data were extracted under two future scenarios, namely SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5. Future land use changes were predicted using the FLUS (Future Land Use Simulation) model. Crop water requirement in paddy was calculated as the sum of evapotranspiration and infiltration based on the water balance in a paddy field, and crop water requirement in upland was estimated as the evapotranspiration value by applying Penman-Monteith method. It was found that the crop water requirement for both paddy and upland increased as we go to the far future, and the degree of increase and variability by time showed different results for each GCM. The results derived from this study can be used as basic data to develop sustainable water resource management techniques considering future watershed environmental changes.

Although a considerable part of climate change can be explained by temperature change, hydrological change such as precipitation, evapotranspiration, and runoff impact more on society. For the ascertain a hydrological change in agriculture sector, this study estimate evapotranspiration of cropland in the Korean peninsula, and then to assess the drought severity in the past 30 years through the estimated potential evapotranspiration and observed precipitation. The potential evapotranspiration is estimated by EPIC model and Penman-Monteith method and the drought severity in cropland of the Korean peninsula is assessed using Normalized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (NPEI) based on the difference in precipitation and potential evapotranspiration. In North Korea, the estimated evapotranspiration tends to increase even though a significant change is not found due to the change of climate. Although a time series change in drought severity in the past 30 years is not pronounced, a deviation by year and difference between South and North Korea is certain. One reason of this is difference in precipitation and evapotranspiration change according to the latitude. The result including expansion of facilities for water management in North Korea can be used for agricultural decision making, as well as base data of climate change adaptation.

물순환 과정의 구성요소 중 하나인 증발산(증발과 증산)은 각종 수자원시설물의 운영관리, 수자원계획 수립, 농업용 시설의 개발 및 운영관리 등에 필요한 매우 중요한 요소이다. 한편, 기후변화 등으로 '14~'19년 장기간 가뭄, '17년 가뭄상황에서도 태풍 '차바'에 의한 국지적 홍수, '20년 역대 최장기간 장마에 의한 대규모 홍수, '22년 태풍 '힌남노' 이후 남부지역 극심한 가뭄 등 가뭄과 홍수가 반복되어 물관리 여건이 매우 어려운 상황이다. 이러한 홍수/가뭄에 효과적으로 대응하기 위해 강우-유출 모형을 사용한다. 신뢰적인 예측결과를 얻기 위해서는 상세하고 정밀한 증발산량 추정이 필요하다. Penman-Monteith(PM) 기법으로 기준 증발산량을 산정하기 위해서는 최고·최저기온, 이슬점온도, 풍속, 일조시간 등의 기상자료가 필요하다. 이러한 자료는 전국 95개 ASOS 지점에만 얻을 수 있다. 계산된 95개 지점의 기준 증발산량은 티센망 등 방법으로 공간평균하여 활용한다. 95개 지점 자료만으로는 지역적 기상 특성을 반영하여 기준 증발산량을 산정하는데 한계가 있으며, 결국 강우-유출분석의 신뢰도 저하로 귀결된다. 본 연구는 기상청 ASOS 지점 외 AWS 590개 지점을 추가하여 기준 증발산량을 산정하여 공간적으로 상세화하였다. ASOS 지점들에 대해 PM 기법과 Hargreaves(HS) 기법으로 22년간의 일단위 기준 증발산량을 각각 계산하였다. 이들의 상관계수는 평균 0.85로 매우 높아, HS 기법으로 산정된 AWS 지점 결과의 추가사용이 적정하였다. 기온만을 사용하는 HS 기법, PM과 HS의 상관성 및 풍속을 반영한 2가지 보정 HS 기법으로 기준 증발산량을 계산하여 비교·분석하였다. 보정된 HS의 결과가 기존 HS 기법에 비해 오차가 적고, 자료의 편향성이 줄어드는 등 더 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 따라서, 각종 수문분석에 보정 HS 기법을 AWS 지점에 확대·적용하고, ASOS 관측소의 PM 기법과 병행해 상세화하여 활용하면 수문분석의 신뢰성을 더욱 높일 수 있을 것이다.

The objective of this study was to analyze the changes in the hydrological environment in Soyanggang-dam watershed due to climate change results (in yews 2050 and 2100) which were simulated using CCCma CGCM2 based on SRES A2 and B2. The SRES A2 and B2 were used to estimate NDVI values for selected land use using the relation of NDVI-Temperature using linear regression of observed data (in years 1998$\sim$2002). Land use change based on SRES A2 and B2 was estimated every 5- and 10-year period using the CA-Markov technique based on the 1985, 1990, 1995 and 2000 land cover map classified by Landsat TM satellite images. As a result, the trend in land use change in each land class was reflected. When land use changes in years 2050 and 2100 were simulated using the CA-Markov method, the forest class area declined while the urban, bareground and grassland classes increased. When simulation was done further for future scenarios, the transition change converged and no increasing trend was reflected. The impact assessment of evapotranspiration was conducted by comparing the observed data with the computed results based on three cases supposition scenarios of meteorological data (temperature, global radiation and wind speed) using the FAO Penman-Monteith method. The results showed that the runoff was reduced by about 50% compared with the present hydrologic condition when each SRES and periods were compared. If there was no land use change, the runoff would decline further to about 3$\sim$5%.

Virtual water is defined as the volume of water required to produce a commodity or service. The degree of food self-sufficiency is currently about 27 % in South Korea, so that Korea is one of the largest net virtual water import countries for agricultural product, thus it is necessary to estimate suitable virtual water for South Korea. The objective of this paper is to quantify the agricultural virtual water use (AWU) and virtual water content (VWC) using the method suggested by Chapagain and Hoekstra during the period 1991-2007. To calculate the virtual water content, 44 different crop production quantity and harvested area data were collected for 17 years and FAO Penman-Monteith equation was adapted for computing crop consumptive use of water. As the results, AWU has been estimated at 15.1 billion $m^3$ in average showing a tendency to decrease. Rice has the largest share in the AWU, consuming about 10.1 billion $m^3$/yr which is about 75 % of gross AWU, and the VWC is 1600.1 $m^3$/ton for paddy rice. The largest VWCs of crops are oilseed and tuber crop, and the smallest are leaf and root vegetables. The primary crop production VWC can be used for calculating the VWC of various secondary products using the contribution ratio, therefore the results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for national agricultural water footprint.
