A newly developed rainwater harvesting (RWH) system reliability model is evaluated for roof area of buildings in Haeundae District of Busan. RWH system is used to supply water for toilet flushing, back garden irrigation, and air cooling. This model is portable because it is based on a non-parametric precipitation generation algorithm using a markov chain. Precipitation occurrence is simulated using transition probabilities derived for each day of the year based on the historical probability of wet and dry day state changes. Precipitation amounts are selected from a matrix of historical values within a moving 30 day window that is centered on the target day. Then, the reliability of RWH system is determined for catchment area and tank volume ranges using synthetic precipitation data. As a result, the synthetic rainfall data well reproduced the characteristics of precipitation in Busan. Also the reliabilities of RWH system for each of demands were computed to high values. Furthermore, for study area using the RWH system, reduction efficiencies for rooftop runoff inputs to the sewer system and potable water demand are evaluated for 23%, 53%, respectively.

South Korea's agricultural nitrogen balance and phosphorus balance rank first and second, respectively, among OECD countries, and proper nutrient management is required to preserve the water quality of rivers and lakes. This study evaluates the effects of furrow mulching on the reduction of non-point source pollution (NPS) load from a sloped upland. The study site was Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, and the survey period was from 2018 to 2019. The slope of the testbed was 13%, and the soil type was sandy loam. The cropping system consisted of maize-autumn Chinese cabbage rotation. The testbed was composed of bare soil (bare), control (Cont.), furrow vegetation mulching (FVM), and furrow nonwoven fabric mulching (FFM) plots. Runoff was collected for each rainfall event with a 1/100 sampler, and the NPS load was calculated by measuring the concentrations of SS, T-N, and T-P. The NPS load was then analyzed for the entire monitoring and crop cultivation periods. During the monitoring period, the effect of reducing the NPS load was 1.5%~44.5% for FVM and 13.1%~55.2% for FFM. During the crop cultivation period, it was 1.2%~80.5% for FVM and 27.0%~65.1% for FFM, indicating that FFM was more effective than FVM. As the NPS load was fairly high during the crop conversion period, an appropriate management method needs to be implemented during this period.

최근 세계적인 기후변화로 인한 홍수의 빈도 및 규모가 커지게 되면서 최초 구조물의 설계시의 설계용량을 초과하는 국지적 집중호우가 발생하고 있다. 이는 도시방재를 위하여 기계획하였던 내수배제 시스템의 설계성능을 넘어 도시지역에 침수를 유발하게 된다. 이에 대한 해결책으로 도시의 내수배제 시스템을 개선하기 위한 우수저류조, 우수관거개선 등이 이루어지고 있지만 설치 이후 구체적인 효과분석이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우수저류시설의 설치 여부에 따른 침수발생 양상을 분석하고 우수저류시설 침수저감효과를 정량적으로 분석할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 XP-SWMM을 이용하여 2차원 침수해석 모의를 실시하였고 다양한 조건에서의 모의를 위하여 2차원 침수해석 모의조건을 설정하였다. 기계획된 우수저류시설의 설계시의 임계지속기간을 기준으로 IDF Curve를 통하여 설계강우량, 확률강우량 및 방재성능목표량을 재산정하였고 Huff4분위법을 이용하여 강우분포를 시켜 XP-SWMM에 적용하였다. 또한, 유역 최종 방류구에서 기점수위 조건과 자유방류 조건을 분리하여 모의하였으며 최종적으로 우수저류시설의 설치여부에 따른 2차원 침수해석을 실시하였다. 2차원 침수모의 결과를 이용하여 월류량의 저감율과 격자별 침수심 분포 분석을 진행하였다. 월류량은 총량적인 지표를 가지고 있지만 격자별 침수심 분포 분석은 격자의 최대 침수심을 0.1m 간격으로 나누어 각 단계별 침수심 격자의 발생빈도를 산정하였다. 제안된 방법을 사용하여 분석을 진행한결과 우수저류조를 설치한 후에 격자의 최대침수심이 더 낮은 침수심 단계로 이동한 현상을 확인하였다. 이는 구조물의 설치 후에도 침수가 일어난다는 양적인 면이 아닌 격자의 침수심 분포 양상을 통해 도시침수에 직접적으로 저감이 나타나 효과를 기여할 수 있다는 지표라고 판단된다.

본 연구는 청계천 유역에 대하여 미래 저영향개발을 고려한 도시 수문순환 변화를 전망하였다. 새로운 기후변화 시나리오에 대하여 유출량 변화 특성 및 저영향개발 요소기술의 적용을 통하여 유출량 감소 변화를 분석하기 위하여 18개의 GCM을 선정하였고, 이를 통하여 생산된 강수량 자료를 활용하였다. 그리고 기후변화 시나리오의 새로운 개념인 SSP 시나리오를 적용하였다. SSP2-4.5 및 SSP5-8.5 시나리오에 대하여 2046년~2075년 기간에 대한 강수량의 변화는 현재 대비 SSP2-4.5 시나리오에서 13.9%와 SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서 20.6%의 증가가 전망되었다. 그리고 미래 기간에 대하여 저영향개발을 고려하여 SWMM을 이용하여 유출량의 저감 변화를 모의하였다. 그 결과 GCM별 또는 저영향개발 요소기술의 조합에 따라 유출량 저감 차이는 있으나 투수성포장 및 침투도랑을 유역 전체에 적용했을 경우 가장 효과가 좋았다. 그 효과는 투수성포장은 SSP2-4.5 시나리오에서는 14.2%, SSP5-8.5 시나리오에서는 13.5%의 유출량 저감 효과를 나타내었고, 침투도랑은 SSP2-4.5에서 14.0%, SSP5-8.5에서 14.2%씩 유출량이 저감되는 것으로 분석되었다. 이 연구는 약 10년 이상 소요되는 도시 수문순환 계획의 이행을 고려하여, 앞으로 20년 후의 기후에 대한 도시 수문순환의 변환을 전망하였다. 그러므로 향후 우리나라 수도 서울의 도시 수문순환 등의 지속가능성 확보에 기여 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

급격한 기후변화의 영향으로 강수량은 증가하는 반면 강수일수는 점차 감소하며, 지속적인 도시화로 인해 불투수 면적이 증가하여 침투량은 감소하고 우수 유출량은 증가하고 있다. 이러한 우수 유출량의 증가로 인한 홍수피해에 대한 대책으로 분산형 유출저감 시설인 저영향개발(LID)이 해결방안으로 제시되고 있다. 기존연구에서는 대부분 LID 시설별 우수 유출 저감 효과를 분석하거나, LID 시설의 설치 비율과 강우빈도를 다양하게 적용하여 유출량과 침투량 등을 분석하였다. 그러나 기후변화로 인하여 미래 호우 패턴은 과거와는 다를 것으로 예상되므로 장기적인 측면에서 기후변화 시나리오에 따른 분석을 수행할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대표농도경로(RCP)에 따른 기후변화를 반영한 미래 호우사상에 대하여 LID 적용 면적 대비 최고의 효율을 나타낼 수 있는 LID 적용 비율을 산정하였다. 이를 위해 빈번하게 침수피해가 발생하는 동대문구에 위치한 용두빗물펌프장 유역을 선정하였으며, 다양한 LID 기법 중 설치가 용이한 투수성 포장과 옥상녹화, 그리고 도로와 단지에 적용성이 높고 저류기능과 여과기능 등이 있는 식생 체류지를 대상 LID 기법으로 선정하였다. 과거와 미래의 대표 호우사상에 대한 유출량을 SWMM으로 산정한 결과, 강수량은 110.5 mm에서 319.42 mm로 증가하였고, 지표 유출량은 87.346 mm에서 294.63 mm로 증가하였다. 그리고 LID 기법 중 세 가지를 모두 적용한 경우 지표면 유출량이 294.63 mm에서 100.3 mm로 가장 큰 폭으로 감소하였다. 또한 저감 효율이 가장 좋은 설치 면적 비율을 도출하기 위하여 다양한 LID 설치면적 비율에 대한 분석을 하였으며, 유역전체면적대비 적용면적비에 따른 우수유출 저감율을 저감효율로 정의한 결과, LID 설치비율이 60%인 경우가 지표 유출량은 1.37, 저류량은 0.50으로 가장 큰 효율이 나타났다.

The design flood estimation in a large river basin has a lot of uncertainties in areal reduction factors, time-spatial rainfall distribution, and parameters of rainfall-runoff model. The use of historical concurrent rainfall events for estimating design flood would reduce the uncertainties. This study presents a procedure for estimating design floods using historical rainfall events and storage function model. The design rainfall and time-spatial distribution were determined through analyzing concurrent rainfall events, and the design floods were estimated using storage function model with a non-linear hydrology response. To evaluate the applicability of the procedure of this study, the estimated floods were compared to results of frequency analysis of flood data. Both floods gave very similar results. It shows the applicability of the procedure presented in this study for estimating design floods in practices.

Cultivation of winter cover crops and its soil utilization for summer main crops in slope upland is very important at the respects of diminution of soil erosion and non-point pollution source. The effects of cover crop, hairy vetch as no-tillage or conventional tillage on prevention of soil erosion and reduction of chemical nitrogen fertilization were investigated in the slope upland with whiter clover living mulch (partial tillage) in Suwon for three years and with rye (conventional tillage) in Hongcheon for two years, respectively. In Suwon, amounts of soil lost by rainfall runoff decreased as much as 90% by hairy vetch-no tillage (HV-NT), white clover-partial tillage (WF-PT) together with the decrease of rainfall runoff compared to winter fallow with conventional tillage (WF-CT). In addition, amounts of weed also decreased as much as 80-90% by HV-NT and WF-PT. Corn yield decreased much at the plot of WF-PT mainly due to competition for soil water and nutrients between clover and corn at the early corn growth stage. On the contrary, corn yield increased by HV-NT compared to WF-CT regardless of weed control. In Hongcheon, amounts of soil eroded during winter season before corn seeding were reduced as much as 95% by cultivation of hairy vetch and rye compared to winter fallow. Amount of soil eroded during waxy corn growing season was reduced as much as 98% by HV-NT compared to WF-CT. Also, soil incorporation of hairy vetch and rye as green manure with conventional tillage at corn seeding time could reduce soil erosion as much as 70% compared to no soil cover with conventional tillage. Ear yields of waxy corn were increased 10% higher at hairy vetch green manure (HV-CT) without nitrogen fertilizer, 20% higher at HV-NT with standard nitrogen fertilizer, respectively than WF-CT. But ear yields of waxy corn were decreased by rye green manure (R-CT) and HV-NT at the condition of no nitrogen fertilizer. It was concluded that hairy vetch was better as winter cover crop to reduce both soil erosion and chemical nitrogen fertilizer simultaneously in slope upland than other cover crops.

Pig slurry has been considered as environmental waste to be treated in an appropriate manner. Moreover, water-born pollution loads by agricultural non-point source(NPS) pollution are expected to become intensified due to ongoing precipitation change. This study was conducted to develop a best management practice to reduce NPS pollution load by agricultural activity with pig manure compost. An eco-friendly way, small drainage pond, was suggested in this study to avoid direct drainage of agricultural runoffs and eventually reduce the amount of pollutants discharged into the surrounding aqua-environment. A small pond($12m^2$) was constructed at the corner of a rice paddy field($17,15m^2$) located in Suwon, Korea. Water was allowed to drain only via a small drainage pond. Sampling was repeatedly made at two locations, one from an entrance and the other from an exit of a pond, during the rice cultivation period(May to October, 2013). Generally, sampling was made only when runoff water drained through a pond, such as during and/or after rain(irrigation). The water quality analysis showed that all quality parameters(SS, $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, and T-P) were improved as water passed through the pond. The amount of runoff water was reduced by 67.8%. Suspended solids and $COD_{Mn}$ concentrations were reduced by 79.8% and 71.9%, respectively. In case of T-N and T-P amounts, the reduction rates were 73.6% and 74.9%, respectively. Our data implies that agricultural NPS pollution from rice paddy fields with pig manure-based fertilizer can be effectively managed when an appropriate drainage water management practice is imposed.

Increase of impervious area caused by overdevelopment has led to increase of runoff and then the problem of flooding and NPS were brought up. In addition, as decrease of base flow made groundwater level to decline, a stream that dries up is issued. low impact development (LID) method which is possible to mimic hydrological water cycle, minimize the effect of development, and improve water cycle structure is proposed as an alternative. As introduction of LID in domestic increases, the study on small watershed is in process mainly. Also, analysis of property of hydrological runoff and load on midsize watershed, like sewage treatment district, is required, the study on it is still insufficient. So, area applying LID practices from watershed of Dongrae stream is pinpointed and made the ratio and then expand it to watershed of Oncheon stream. Among low impact development practices, Green Roof, Porous Pavement, and Bio- retention are selected for the application considering domestic situations and simulated with SWMM-LID model of each watershed and improvement of water cycle and reduction of non-point pollution loads was analysed. Improvement of water cycle and reduction of non-point pollution loads were analyzed including the property of rainfall and soil over long term simulation. The model was executed according to scenario based on combination of LID as changing conductivity in accordance with soil type of the watershed. Also, this study evaluated area of LID application that meets the efficiency of conventional management as a criteria for area of LID practices applying to sewer treatment district by comparing the efficiency of LID application with that of conventional method.

Effect of drip irrigation on soil salinity control and growth of vegetable crops was studied in the three reclaimed lands of Korea in 2007. Drip irrigation was done one or two times per month for reduction of salt stress by using vinyl hose with tiny holes laid on ridge surface under black plastic film mulch during growing season of cabbage and chinese cabbage. It was observed that drip irrigation was generally effective to soil salinity control, but soil salinity variation of some place was not fully solved to lower down under level of free salt stress. It is also considered that high salinity of runoff water spilled out from cultivation ridge plays another key role for soil salinity management. Consequentially, this soil salinity variation might be one of factors brought low average yield and low commercial ratio of agricultural products. Relation between soil salinity and head growth of cabbage and chinese cabbage was well expressed as logarithmic function. Surface soil EC to reach at 50% of growth reduction to the heaviest head can be estimated was $6.1dS^{\circ}{\S}m^{-1}$ for cabbage and $5.7dS\;m^{-1}$ for chinese cabbage transplanted at optimum season.
