본 연구에서는 가뭄지수를 간단하고, 신뢰성 있고 그리고 쉽게 구할 수 있는 방법을 제안함으로써, 가뭄식 도시지역의 생활용수 및 공업용수의 부족에 대비한 용수수급대책 마련에 이용할 수 있도록 하였다. 가뭄지수 산정은 Phillips 가뭄지수법을 이용하였다. Phillips 가뭄지수법은 월강수량의 초과확률에 근거를 두지만, 실시간 현 가뭄 상황을 파악할 필요가 있을 경우 일강수량자료를 이용할 수 있어 실용성이 아주 컸다. 적용성 검토를 위해 주요 공업지역인 울산시와 포항시의 생활용수 수급체계를 이용하였으며, 그 우수성이 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구성과는 다른 도시 지역에서의 비상가뭄대책 수립에도 매우 유용한 방법으로 사용될 수 있다.

The goal of the present research was to develop a mean to determine indices of drought warning and emergency necessary to manage drought and establish water supply contingency plan for the municipal and industrial water supply system in urban areas. To do this, we worked on the Sayun catchment which is the main water source of Ulsan and used measured hydrologic data (storage, inflow, supply, outflow) from 1980 to 1996. The indices of drought calculated by the method of Phillips drought index based only on monthly precipitation do not pertinently represent drought phenomena in case water supply is from dam or reservoir in an urban area. Therefor, we developed the drought index technique including inflow, storage, outflow and supply which are the chief factors of drought management. The result showed that the method of Phillips drought index considering the capacity of water supply was excellent when applied to practical drought phenomena.

North Korea is one of the vulnerable countries facing the threat of a drought, so that it is unavoidable to experience fatal damage when drought is occurred, and it is necessary to improve the drought response capability of water resources systems. However, it is still difficult to find research efforts for drought characteristics and drought management in North Korea. This study is to quantify drought duration and magnitude and to analyze drought characteristics in North Korea. In order to quantitatively identify historical drought conditions and to evaluate their variability, drought indices are commonly used. In this study, drought indices including dry-day index, deciles of normal precipitation, Phillips drought index, standardized precipitation index and Palmer drought severity index are calculated and compared monthly using the weather data for the twenty one meteorological stations in North Korea. The indices compared with the drought damage records that have reported from 1990 to present to understand how the indices can explain the drought. A comparative study was also conducted to evaluate the relative severity of the significant droughts occurred during 2000 and 2001 which were reported as the worst drought in North Korea. Drought indices calculated from this study demonstrated that those can be the effective tools in quantitatively evaluating drought severity and measures of drought. Thus it is recommended the distributed trend of drought be considered when the plan or measures for drought in North Korea are established.
