In general, the water stage-discharge relationship curve is established based on the assumptions of linearity and homoscedasticity. However, the relationship between the water stage and discharge is affected from geomorphological factors, which violates the basic assumptions of the water stage-discharge relationship curve. In order to reduce the error due to the violations, the curve is divided into several sections based on the manager's judgement considering change of cross-sectional shape. In this research, the objective-splitting criteria of the curve is proposed based on the measured data without the subjective decision. First, it is assumed that the coefficient of variation follows the normal distribution. Then, if the newly calculated coefficient of variation is outside of the 95% confidential interval, the curve is divided. Namely, the groups is divided by the characteristics of the coefficient of variation and the reasonable criteria is provided for establishing a multi-segmented rating curve. To validate the proposed method, it was applied to the data generated by three artificial power functions. In addition, to confirm the applicability of the proposed method, it is applied to the water stage and discharge data of the Muju water stage gauging station and Sangegyo water stage gauging station. As a result, it is found that the automatically divided rating curve improves the accuracy and extrapolation accuracy of the rating curve. Finally, through the residual analysis using Shapiro-Wilk normality test, it is confirmed that the residual of water stage-discharge relationship curve tends to follow the normal distribution.

Many reservoirs in Korea and their downstream environments are under increased pressure for water utilization and ecosystem management from longer discharge of turbid flood runoff compared to a natural river system. Turbidity($C_T$) is an indirect measurement of water 'cloudiness' and has been widely used as an important indicator of water quality and environmental "health". However, $C_T$ modeling studies have been rare due to lack of experimental data that are necessary for model validation. The objective of this study is to validate a coupled three-dimensional(3D) hydrodynamic and particle dynamics model (ELCOM-CAEDYM) for the simulation of turbid density flows in stratified Daecheong Reservoir using extensive field data. Three different groups of suspended solids (SS) classified by the particle size were used as model state variables, and their site-specific SS-$C_T$ relationships were used for the conversion between field measurements ($C_T$) and state variables (SS). The simulation results were validated by comparing vertical profiles of temperature and turbidity measured at monitoring stations of Haenam(R3) and Dam(R4) in 2004. The model showed good performance in reproducing the reservoir thermal structure and propagation of stream density flow, and the magnitude and distribution of turbidity in the reservoir were consistent with the field data. The 3D model and turbidity modeling framework suggested in this study can be used as a supportive tool for the best management of turbidity flow in other reservoirs that have similar turbidity problems.

The streamflow depletion due to groundwater pumping from deep aquifer near the Juksan stream has been simulated, in this study, by using the surface water and groundwater integrated model, SWAT-ODFLOW in order to analyze the relationship between the stream depletion and hydraulic properties of aquifer and streambed, and to spatially assess the streamflow depletion. The simulated results showed that the streamflow depletion rate divided by the pumping rate for each well location ranges from 10% to 90% with reflecting the various well-stream distance, transmissivity, storativity, and streambed hydraulic conductance. In particular, the streamflow depletion exceeds about 50% of pumping rate for conditions with transmissivity higher than $10m^2/day$ or storage coefficient lower than 0.1. The simulated results in the form of spatial maps indicated that the spatially averaged percent depletion of streamflow is about 53.6% for five years of pumping which is lower than that for shallow aquifer pumping by 12.9%. From the spatially distributed stream depletion, it was found that higher and more rapid stream depletion to pumping occurs near middle-downstream reach.

The Kyunggi Bay in mid-west of Korea is a relatively large estuarine system that connects the Han River system with Yellow Sea. Due to macro-tidal range of more than 8 m, the urban estuary shows deep tidal channels and wide tidal flats. Since last 30 years, the coastal development is undergoing, yielding noticeable change in environment. Particularly the tidal flat dynamics are generally accepted as being related with tidal residual flows in this area (Kim et al., 2009). We have estimated the annual variation and vertical structure of residual currents with one-year long observed flows in two major tidal channels of Kyunggi Bay. The moving average method and tidal current harmonic analysis yield nearly the same results on residual flow. The residual flow in Jangbong channel ranges from 20 cm/s in summer to 30 cm/s in winter. It is noticeable that the residual flow in Jangbong channel is flood dominant throughout the year, while the flow in Seokmo channel is ebb-dominant residual flow with current speed range of 20-40 cm/s. Due to the baroclinic response of relatively shallow estuary, significant reduction of energy in bottom layers have been observed, indicating the importance of residual circulation to the tidal flat behavior.

The 99.1% of small dam and most of the levees in Korea are soil dam which can be constructed with lower cost and less effort compared with ones made of concrete. However, they are so vulnerable to overflow. Sudden collapses of these strucrues lead to increase flow rate rapidly, which may cause catastrophic problems in downstream regions. In this study, the experimental study on the collapse delay effect of riprap that was laid on slope of soil levee was carried out. A prismatic rectangular open channel was used and three different sizes of the riprap were installed on slope of a scaled earth dam. A new formula for the collapse time of the levee with the installation of riprap was presented, using the previous researches and the dimensional analysis. In this process, an unsteady flow condition was considered to derive the deviation time of the riprap. And additional experiments were conducted to understand the effect of reinforcement of riprap, and it was found that the reinforcement of riprap was more effective than twice sizing of intial riprap. If the collapse time is delayed, EAP (Emergency Action Plan) and forecasting can greatly reduce the degree of flood damage. Also, it will be meaningful that the results of this study are used for river design.

The objective of this study was to evaluate future inundation risk of farmland according to the application of coupled model intercomparison project phase 5 (CMIP5) and coupled model intercomparison project phase 6 (CMIP6). In this study, future weather data based on CMIP5 and CMIP6 general circulation model (GCM) were collected, and inundation was simulated using the river modeling system for small agricultural watershed (RMS) and GATE2018 in the Tanjung district of the Moohan stream watershed. Although the average probable rainfall of CMIP5 and CMIP6 did not show significant differences as a result of calculating the probability rainfall, the difference between the minimum and maximum values was significantly larger in CMIP6. The results of the flood discharge calculation and the inundation risk assessment showed similar to trends to those of probability rainfall calculations. The risk of inundation in the future period was found to increase in all sub-watersheds, and the risk of inundation has been analyzed to increase significantly, especially if CMIP6 data are used. Therefore, it is necessary to consider climate change effects by utilizing CMIP6-based future weather data when designing and reinforcing water structures in agricultural areas in the future. The results of this study are expected to be used as basic data for utilizing CMIP6-based future weather data.

World is experiencing abnormal weather caused by urbanization and industrialization increasing greenhouse gas and one of these phenomenon domestically happening is flood and drought. The increase of green-house gases is due to urbanization and industrialization acceleration which are causing abnormal climate changes such as the El Nino and a La Nina phenomenon. It is expected that there will be many difficulties in water management, especially considering the topography and seasonal circumstances in Korea. Unlike in the past, a variety of water conservation initiatives have been undertaken like the river-management flow and water capacity expansion projects. To meet the increasing demand for water resources, new environmentally-friendly small and medium-sized dams have been built. Therefore, the development of a new paradigm for water resources management is essential. This study shows that additional security is needed for potential water resources through diversion tunnels and is very important to consider for future water supplies and situations. Using RCP 6.0 and RCP 8.5 in representative concentration pathway climate change scenario, specific hydrologic data of study basin was produced to analyze past observed basin rainfall tendency which showed both scenario 5%~9% range increase in rainfall. Through sensitivity analysis using objective function, population in highest goodness was 1000 and cross rate was 80%. In conclusion, it is expected that the results from this study will help to make long-term and stable water supply plans by using the potential water resource evaluation model which was applied in this study.

Natural streams meander, forming pools at the outer part of bend and riffles at the crossing. Pools are deep at a lower flow velocity, and riffles are shallow at a higher flow velocity. Attentions are being paid to pool-riffle sequences in meandering streams because pool-riffle sequences tend to increase biodiversity of the stream ecosystem. This study investigates the characteristics of distribution of bed sediment particles in the upstream reach of the Gap Stream, which is a tributary of the Geum River in Korea. The upstream part of the Gap Stream, the study reach, is a gravel-bed stream, showing a pool and three riffles due to meandering. The reach also includes pools at the upstream and downstream parts of the weir. The characteristics of bed sediment particles sampled at the wetland and in the side channel are studied, revealing that the median particle diameter in the riffle is about four times larger than that in the pool. In addition, flow simulations are carried out for ordinary discharge and design flood, and such parameters important to sediment transport as velocity, shear stress, dimensionless shear stress (or Shields number), and dimensionless shear velocity are provided to see the mobility of sediment particles in the pool-riffle sequence.

현재 기후변화의 기상변동성이 커짐에 따라 태풍 및 집중호우 등의 이상기후 현상이 전 지구상에 걸쳐 광역적으로 나타나고 있다. IPCC에서는 이러한 기후변화가 기온 상승에 따른 증발산량의 증가, 강수량 및 유출량의 시공간적 분포의 변동 등을 초래하여 수자원의 효율적 관리 및 안정적인 공급에 어려움을 증대시킬 것으로 전망하였다. 뿐만 아니라 현재 국내 전반에 걸쳐 4대강 사업이 진행되고 있고, 낙동강에서도 낙동강 살리기 사업이 실시되어 주변 지형들의 변화가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 지형의 변화는 현재까지 구축되어 있는 기존자료의 대폭적인 변화를 의미하므로 홍수관련 연구결과에도 변화를 의미하고 있다. 이에 따라 4대강 사업 이후의 기후 변화에 따른 낙동강유역에서의 유출량의 증가를 분석하여 극한홍수의 발생가능성을 제시하고 이러한 극한홍수발생에 따른 위험지역도 과거에 의해 변경될 것으로 판단되어 국내외적으로 하천의 수리검토에 널리 사용되고 있는 1차원 수리해석 프로그램인 FLDWAV를 이용하여 취약지점을 분석하고 위험도를 분석하고자 한다. 낙동강 살리기 사업으로 낙동강에 건설된 8개의 보를 고려한 본류 및 지류에서의 제내지 및 제외지 지형데이터를 구축하고 구축된 자료을 이용해 낙동강 본류 및 지류에 대해서 극한홍수시 200년 빈도, 500년 빈도 홍수량 및 홍수위를 FLDWAV를 통해 정상류로 계산해서 예측하고 500년 빈도 홍수량과 홍수위를 부정류로 계산하여 제방고와 홍수위를 비교하여 범람위험지역을 선정하였다. 그리고 그 결과를 통해 GIS를 통하여 범람위험지역 제내지의 주요도심 구간 포함, 범람 범위를 분석함과 동시에 극한홍수에 따른 도심구간, 비도시구간 등의 범람범위를 분석하였다. 또한 선정한 범람위험지역의 범람 피해규모를 산정하고 피해범위의 현황을 파악하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. 500년 빈도 홍수시 범람위험지역은 낙동강 본류의 하류부에서 각각 154.7km, 123.2km, 12.9km에 위치한 지점이 선정되었으며 각 지점의 피해규모는 제내지에 범람된 유출량의 수위는 각각 21.7m, 24.3m, 2.11m로 계산되었고 이때의 피해면적은 각각 $2.68km^2$, $2.64km^2$, $1.25km^2$로 나타났다. 이 결과는 기후변화로 인한 극한홍수 발생 가능성과 취약지점의 분석을 통한 지역의 홍수피해 저감과 정책개발에 기본 자료로 활용될 것이며 낙동강 살리기 사업으로 인한 하천주변 지형의 변화를 제공함으로서 앞으로 진행될 연구의 기본 자료로서 이용가능 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 이전의 홍수방어계획을 개선한 새로운 홍수방어계획의 수립을 통하여 향후 발생될 홍수의 예방 및 대응방안 수립의 참고자료로 이용될 것이며 제내지 및 제외지의 공간확보 연구를 통해 해당 지자체의 토지매수계획의 참고자료로 이용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

최근에 들어 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화의 영향으로 국지성 집중호우와 돌발성 호우가 한반도 뿐 아니라 전 세계적으로도 많이 나타나고 있고, 그로 인한 이상홍수의 발생이 우리나라의 인명 및 재산피해를 날로 증가시키고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 현재 국내의 홍수방어시스템은 정확도 및 선행시간 확보 등의 측면에서 국민들의 요구수준까지는 그 역할을 수행하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 또한 최근 4대강 살리기 사업을 통해 수행된 보 설치 및 하도 준설로 인해 하천환경의 변화가 크게 발생하여, 보다 정확하고 신속한 홍수위 예측기법이 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 현재 4대강 홍수통제소에서는 정확한 홍수위예측을 위해 4대강 본류 및 주요 지류에 대해 수리모형을 구축하고 있고, 기존의 저류함수모형에 의한 강우-유출 해석기법을 적용하여 주요 지류에 대한 유입량을 산정하기 위한 모형을 구축중에 있다. 국내 홍수방어 시스템에 현재까지 사용되어 오고 있는 저류함수모형 및 수위-유량 관계식을 이용한 방법은 물리적 기반의 홍수예측모형으로 유역의 지형학적 인자와 그에 따른 여러 변수를 포함하기 때문에 하천환경의 변화로 인해 각각의 추적과정에서 오차들이 발생하여 해석결과에 영향을 미치는 단점이 있다. 이에 반해 데이터 기반 모형은 강우-유출 모형에서 사용되는 많은 수문학적 자료 및 매개변수들의 사용 없이 오직 수위 및 강우측정 자료만을 이용하여 홍수를 예측하는 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역에 대해 보다 정확한 홍수위 예측을 위해 현재 낙동강홍수통제소에서 구축중인 낙동강 본류의 수리모형의 주요 지류의 유입량 산정을 위해 기존의 물리적 기반 모형이 아닌 뉴로-퍼지(Neuro-Fuzzy) 모형을 이용한 data 기반 모형을 적용해 기존 물리적 기반 모형과 비교 분석 하고자 하였다. 낙동강의 주요지류인 감천, 금호강, 남강, 내성천, 밀양강, 반변천, 위천, 황강을 적용유역으로 선정하여 유역별로 티센망을 구축하였고, 각 지류별로 수위관측소를 선정하여 최근 10년동안 낙동강유역의 홍수예 경보가 발령되었거나 많은 비가 온 사상을 선정해 모형을 검증하였다. 모형은 실시간 수위측정 자료와 강우자료 및 해당유역 댐의 방류량 자료를 이용해 유역별 최적 입력자료 조합을 선정하여 간단하게 구축할 수 있었다. 또한 10분 단위 및 30분 단위의 입출력 자료로 모형을 구축하여 비교하였다. 이번 연구에서 수행한 낙동강유역에서의 뉴로-퍼지(Neuro-Fuzzy) 모형을 이용한 홍수예측기법을 통해 몇가지 data만으로 유역의 주요지점에 대한 홍수위와 홍수량을 예측할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 모의 결과는 실측치와 비교해 정확도 면에서 우수함을 보여 주었으나 예측시간이 길어질수록 실측치의 경향을 벗어나는 결과를 보였다. 그러나 실시간 홍수예 경보에 있어서는 만족할만한 선행시간을 확보할 수 있었다. 구축된 Data 기반 모형이 물리적 기반 모형과 더불어 낙동강 홍수예 경보를 위한 모형으로 사용될 수 있다면 보다 효율적인 예 경보 체계 구축에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
