It had been strictly prohibited to plant in waterway according to Korea laws and regulations. It was then made possible to plant by the modification law and regulation of 10/30/1997. In 2000, the Seoul metropolis government planted in the Yeoyido flood plain park in Han river by way of showing the model case. This planting design is for the Yeoyido flood plain park along the Han river, in Seoul. The design requirements were to create a pleasant rest area, to improve the surrounding landscape, and to create diverse ecological habitats by planting within the stability of flood flow. This design emphasizes the following design requirements that has positive effect on stabilizing flood flow. First, planting suitable in a area was determined by the speed of a current of less than 0.7m/sec under various numerical value simulations. Second, plants were selected in existing trees of the present and the past Han river, as well as the questionnaire results from landscape professional engineers and professors. Shade plants were planted in the large visiting areas so as to offer pleasant shade in the summer, the ecological planting pattern was applied in the area with low speed of flood flow, so as to aid the restoration of the natural ecological environment. It was found that the foresaid planting design verified the stability of flood flow and wind by overturn limit moment calculation. It is expected that this plan would serve environmentally friendly planting plans in flood plain park.

KEUM River downstream has some characteristics in which the dowunstream is affected with tidal motion, the several tributaries are forming a dendritic river system, and the channel cross-sections are irregular. The flood in this downstream can now be analyzed by the hydrological flood routing methods and under the assumption regarding the dendritic river system as a single reach. In this study the river system was used for the flood routing. The flood records which were measured in 1978 and 1987 were applied for calibration and verification of the unsteady flow model respectively. The results show that the flood at KANG-KYONG station was not affected with the tidal motion when the discharge at KONG-JU station exceeded about 5, 000$m^3$/sec, and that the bottle neck at IP-PO station intercepted the tidal influences.

This research presents a prototype development and implementation of Decision Support System (DSS) for integrated river basin water management for the flood control. The DSS consists of Relational Database Management System, Hydrologic Data Monitoring System, Spatial Analysis Module, Spatial and Temporal Analysis for Rainfall Event Tool, Flood Forecasting Module, Real-Time Operation of Multi Reservoir System, and Dialog Module with Graphical User Interface and Graphic Display Systems. The developed DSS provides an automated process of alternative evaluation and selection within a flexible, fully integrated, interactive, centered relational database management system in a user-friendly computer environment. The river basin decision-maker for the flood control should expect that she or he could manage the flood events more effectively by fully grasping the hydrologic situation throughout the basin.

This study has performed flood routing computations considering the upstream and intermediate dams in Han River using DAMBRK. Hypothetical reservoirs with variable dimensions are used to compare the validity of the reservoir routing methods, that are storage routing and dynamic routing. The flood events in September, 1990 and August, 1995 are used to verify the applicability of the model. The model performs the flood analysis more accurately considering multiple dam effects in Han River. The methodologies presented in this study will give a good contribution for basin-wide flood forecasting in Han River basin.

The purpose of this research is to develop the model for analyzing the hydraulic behavior of off-stream reservoir whose purpose is to reduce a peak flood. When a flood occurs in river, off-stream reservoir has a capability of sharing a part of peak flood. It is accomplished by flowing over a off-line weir that is built by lowering a portion of bank and connecting river with off-line reservoir. Since flood control depends on river elevation, characteristics of off-line weir (elevation, length, position et al.) and reservoir capacities, an integrated model linking the one dimensional unsteady river flow model, off-line weir model and two dimensional unsteady flood model is developed to analyze the behavior of off-stream reservoir and off-line weir. The results show that a flood control capability of off-stream reservoir strongly depends on facilities of off-line weir and storage capacity of offstream reservoir.

The purpose of the study was to investigated the change of hydraulic characteristics like water surface profile and rivered section in the down stream of Keum river after the construction of esturary dam. The effect of esturary dam on the flood control in the Keum river was recognized with the data of two flood events happened in July, 1987 before the construction and in August, 1995 after the construction of estuary dam. For example , duration time above the water level of the warning -flood was changed from 46.5 to 42.8 hours and duration time above the eater level of the danger-flood was changed from 24.7 to 19.8 hours at the Kyuam station. The time difference to reach the water level of the designated -flood between Kyuam and Kangkyung was changed from 3 hours in 1987 to 12 hours and 20 minutes in 1995. The water surface slope of river decreased 25.6% between estuary dam and Kangkyung and increased 16.5% between Kangkyung and Kyuam, and decreased 8.8% between Kyuam and Kongju. As the result, velocity was getting faster and river bed was scoured in the reach of Kangkyung and Kyuam, and velocity was getting slower and river bed was sedimented in the reach of Kangkyung and estury dam.

This paper studies the introduction of flood quota system for efficient flood prevention. In the present system where local governments decide its flood prevention independently, the optimal flood prevention in a river basin can not be achieved. Thus, the flood quota system is necessary. In deciding the flood quota for each local government in a river basin, its social and economic characteristics as well as geographical feature of the area should be considered. In order to promote the cooperation among local governments in a river basin, the flood quota is necessary to be accompanied with the trading system of the quota.

On the premise of flood control procedure, flood forecasting-warning, system(FFWS) is one of actions for disaster prevention. It makes public announcements for flood situations timely in order to mitigate damage from floodings. Multi-purpose dam which has flood control storage plays an important role in river basin at flood time. In FFWS, it is reservoir operation module that is related to reservoir operation of multi-purpose dam. This study considers the current conditions and problems in reservoir operation module of FFWS in Han River and improves reservoir operation module under limited research scope. As results, additional reservoir operation modules such as Technical ROM(Reservoir Operation Method) and ARD(Approved Release Discharge) ROM were built in FFWS. Using these newly built reservoir operation modules. Han River Flood Control Office will plan and work for flood control and flood forecasting. Firstly, it may plan for flood control by Technical ROM which is deterministic simulation model, and work for final flood control and flood forecasting by ARD ROM according to approved release discharge afterward.

In urban area, flood risk is getting higher because of inland flood risk has grown up by changing rainfall intensity, rainfall pattern, changing land use and so on. Urban area is needed higher flood protection level to protect accumulated people, buildings and other infrastructures. However, even though former flood protection has focused on overflow from river, there is not a guide line for evaluating proper flood protection level. Thus, it is necessary to protect flood from inland flooding as well as overflow from river and need a proper method to evaluating flood protection level. This study present a method of determining flood protection elevation by using GIS tools for deciding proper flood protection level. The study result may contribute to urban flood protection measures in which inland flood risk increases.

The modern times is as special as from the river, the river is very important of our life. The importance to preserve the river environment has been issued and the river developing method is being changed to use potential function of nature as well as flood control. Essential element of the river restoration is a vegetation. The flow resistance by vegetation along the river banks is greatly increase the flood stage. Therefore, the flow resistance due to vegetation in the river and roughness coefficient changes to understand the hydraulic characteristics is an important elements in the river restoration. The purpose of this study is to analyze the flood stage and the aspects of riverbed changes due to the corridor restoration with river vegetation. In order to simulate the flood stage and riverbed changes, HEC-RAS, RMA-2, and SED-2D model were applied for the upstream and downstream in study reaches, respectively.
