To assessment the disturbances of the Namgang caused by dam construction, upstream area was selected for the reference reach and downstream area was selected for the comparison reach. And these reaches were surveyed and analyzed according to the assessment criteria of the river disturbances.The artificial factors of river disturbances were classified as river improvement works, dam construction and aggregate dredging. The indexes were physical factors as like epifaunal (bottom), embeddedness, velocity/depth regime, sediment deposition, channel flow status, channel alteration, frequency of riffles, bank stability, vegetative protection, riparian zone etc.The assessment results showed 46% of the assessment criteria which was serious status in dam downstream area and 89.5% of it which was excellent status in dam upstream.Finally, the results showed that physical river environment in downstream area was disturbed by the discharge control and the interception of sediment discharge by dam, consequently this disturbance give rise to impact of ecosystem in river.

It is very important to secure sufficient river maintenance flow for the ecosystem, since the ecosystem in the downstream section of the dam is greatly affected by the stream maintenance flow from the dam. However, the amount of discharge from the Seomjingang Dam is decreasing year by year, this study estimated the ecological flow required for the downstream section of the Seomjingang Dam, which is known as the habitat of the endangered Acheilognathus somjinensis, in order to secure the river flow of the Seomjingang Dam. For this purpose, the proper discharge was calculated using the PHABSIM model, which is a hydrological survey and physical habitat simulation method, and the proper discharge of other fish species were also comprehensively reviewed. As a result of this study, the current river maintenance flow at the Seomjingang Dam partially satisfies the ecological maintenance flow including the Acheilognathus somjinensis in the downstream section of the Seomjingang Dam. However, this is recognized as the minimum discharge to maintain the ecology in the downstream section of the Seomjingang Dam, and it would be more desirable to secure larger river maintenance flow than this. This study can contribute the determination of the river maintenance flow of the Seomjingang Dam by proposing the river maintenance flow considering the fish habitat environment in the river.

The construction of river mouth dam has prevented seawater from backwarding to upstream in Kum river estuary since 1990. Field observation on environmental factors, and zooplankton and phytoplankton dynamics have been carried out three times with two month interval in the summer and autumn in 2000 at three selected stations in Kum river estuary. Blockade of seawater flowing backward to upstream caused sharp contrast of zooplankton fauna and phytoplankton flora between upstream and downstream of the river mouth dam. Freshwater cladocerans i.e., Bosmina longisrostris and Daphnia galeata dominated in the upstream, and marine copepods of Acartia omorii and Paracalanus crassirostris occurred abundantly in downstream of the dam. Freshwater diatoms did not distributed in the downstream of the dam except Melosira varians, while marine diatom of Cylidrotheca closterium occurred in benthic waters bath in upstream and downstream of the dam. The construction of the river mouth dam seems to play an ecological role to blockade the input of marine organism into the upstream in Kum river estuary.

An integrated water quality management of reservoir and river would be required when the quality of downstream river water is affected by the discharge of upstream dam. In particular, for the control of downstream turbidity during flood events, the integrated modeling of reservoir and river is effective approach. This work was aimed to develop a laterally-averaged two-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model (CE-QUAL-W2), by which water quality can be predicted in the downstream of Yongdam dam in conjunction with the reservoir model, and to validate the model under two different hydrological conditions; wet year (2005) and drought year (2010). The model results clearly showed that the simulated data regarding water elevation and suspended solid (SS) concentration are well corresponded with the measured data. In addition, the variation of SS concentration as a function of time was effectively simulated along the river stations with the developed model. Consequently, the developed model can be effectively applied for the integrated water quality management of Yongdam dam and downstream river.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how a downstream channel is affected in case of hypothetical dam failure. The object of it is Hwacheon dam basin within the basin of North Han river. This study has analyzed the influence on Pyeonghwa(Peace) dam and Hwacheon dam supposing that the Imnam dam in North Korea on the upper stream of North Han river is failed hypothetically at the MFWL(maximum flood water level) by a deluge of rain. The model applied at the main study is NWS(National Weather Service) FLDWAV(Flood Wave Routing Model). Dam breach characteristics data are analyzed by making nine hypothetical scenarios on the basis of other studies on the shape and size of dam breach, time of failure and so on. Expected peak discharge through the breach is verified to have the propriety in comparison with empirical function which is developed on the basis of the case of dam breach in the foreign countries and it is observed that peak discharge is more increasing, as the time of breach gets shorter and the breach width gets bigger. As a result of main study, even though the Imnam dam is hypothetically failed down, there has no influence on the Hwacheon dam of the downstream as the extended Pyeonghwa dam on the downstream controls the volume of discharge properly.

Riverbed change is greatly influenced by artificial factors such as dam construction, gravel collection, and river improvement. This study simulated a long-term bed change based on the GSTARS3 model using actual data from the area downstream of the Geum River Daecheong Dam and compared the estimation with a section of the actual measurement. As a result, it was found that the section of the actual measurement was far lower than the result of the simulation in terms of long-term bed change. While the area downstream of Daecheong Dam displayed approximately an average of 2.29 m of streambed degradation on average while the upper stream area showed approximately 0.63 m of bed degradation over 24 years. In the simulation of the area downstream of Daecheong Dam based on the GSTARS3 model, similar bed degradation was observed. However, a great difference was detected between the result and the actual measurement. According to the cause analysis, the riverbed in the area downstream of Daecheong Dam has continuously degraded due to the dam construction and mass collection of gravel. The mass collection of gravel was the main cause of riverbed change. It was found that about 76% of all riverbed degradation was caused by the mass collection of gravel.

A hydro-geomorphologic change in a sand bed channel reach and vegetation expansion by changes in the How regime is analyzed in this study. Field and aerial photo surveys, basic hydrological analysis about flow regime change due to two dams, Andong Dam and Imha Dam, on the upstream river and computer modeling are conducted. Two Dams in the study reach have obviously affected downstream channel in many ways including the bed particle coarsening, vegetation expansion on the sandbars and following river channel braiding. The phenomenon of no vegetation on the large point bar in front of Hahwe Village seems due to disturbance of the sandbar surface probably due to the cross flow in the meander reach during the flood. Another reason for no vegetation is that the sandbar on this reach has lower subsurface water lovels, as compared with the others in the up- and downstream of the reach where vegetation expanded, which would hinder vegetation from germinating and growing on the sandbar.

Hydroacoustic surveys were performed to clarify the density and spatial distribution of fish upstream and downstream of Changzhou Dam in the Pearl River, China, with regard to the condition of the spillways. Fish were densely distributed in the forebay of the upstream dam and the average fish density was 0.22 individuals/$m^3$ under open spillways on 24 June 2010, but when the spillways were closed on 25 June 2010, the fish in the upstream dam dispersed and the average fish density decreased to 0.007 individuals/$m^3$. Meanwhile, the average fish density in the downstream region was 0.28 individuals/$m^3$ before the spillway was opened on 24 May 2010, but it decreased to 0.08 individuals/$m^3$ on 26 June, just after the spillway was closed. The vertical distribution of fish upstream of the dam was not consistent. The target strength (TS) of fish upstream of the dam was larger than that of fish in the downstream region, although the distribution of TS was similar between the upstream and downstream regions. Therefore, we concluded that while numerous fish could swim to the upstream region while the spillways were open, closed spillways obstructed fish migrating upward from the downstream region.

황강 상류에 위치한 합천댐은 1988년 12월에 완공되었다. 완공 이후 댐의 저수량 부족으로 10여년간 수문을 통한 방류가 없었기 때문에, 댐 하류부에 새로운 생태계가 조성되었다. 이러한 현상은 국내 다른 지역에서 찾아보기 힘든 매우 특이한 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 댐 건설로 인한 유황변화에 따른 하천의 지형학적 변화와 식생 피복상태의 변화에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해 하상고 및 하천수로단면의 변화를 조사하였다. 또한 나이테 분석을 포함한 현지조사를 수행하였다. 또한 댐 건설 전ㆍ후 대상유역의 항공사진을 비교하여 댐 건설 후 식생피복이 증가한 것을 확인하였다.
