유역내 비점오염 부하량의 증가로 인하여 그동안 많은 수질 개선 노력이 진행되어 왔다. 그 중 하나의 대안으로 수변림 조성이 거론되고 있으나, 현재 수변림 조성에 따른 수질 개선 효과 평가 방법의 부재로 유역내 어느 곳에 어떠한 식생을 조성해야 할지 정확한 판단을 하기 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 SWAT-REMM Prototype 버전이 개발되었으나, 다른 유역에 적용하기에는 여러 가지 문제점을 나타내고 있다. 또한 SWAT-REMM Prototype 버전은 소하천내 모든 유역내 수변림을 조성한다는 가정하에 수변림 조성에 따른 수질개선효과를 모의 분석하는데 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 국내 상당부분의 하천에서는 여름철 집중강우로 인한 수해 발생으로 많은 구간이 석축과 같은 정비사업이 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 구간에 대해서 수질 개선을 목적으로 수변림을 조성한다는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 SWAT-REMM 시스템을 이용하여 유역 전체 모든 하천이 아닌, 하천 일부구간에 대해서 수변구역을 조성에 따른 효과 분석을 수행할 수 있는 기능에 대한 많은 요구가 있어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SWAT-REMM Prototype 버전의 여러 가지 기능을 수정 보완하였으며, 도암댐 유역내 모든 하천에 대해서 수변림 조성에 따른 수질 개선 효과를 모의 분석하였다. 수변림 조성은 1차 하천 (지천)에 대해서는 하천 양안 1m 정도의 초생대를 조성한다고 가정하였고, 최고 차수 하천인 도암댐 유입 송천에 대해서는 하천 양안 10m 의 수변림을 조성한다고 가정하여 수질 개선효과를 분석한 결과 상당량의 유사가 하천으로 유입되기 전 유역내 설치된 수변림에 의해서 저감되는 것으로 모의 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 분석한 수변림 조성 시나리오는 현실적으로 실행하기 어려운 점이 있기 때문에 수변림 조성 적지 분석후, 본 연구에서 개발된 하천 구간 수변림 조성 시나리오 모듈을 이용한다면, 보다 현실적인 수변림 조성에 따른 유사저감효과를 평가할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.(SWAT-REMM ArcView GIS: http://www.EnvSys.co.kr/$\sim$swat-remm)

본 연구에서는 SWAT-REMM Enhanced 모형을 이용하여 총 3개의 수변림 시나리오를 작성하여 도암댐 유역 내 일부 소유역에 적용 하였다. 수변림 시나리오 중 시나리오 1과 2는 수변 폭을 15m로 하고 식생을 나무와 잔디로 각각 다르게 적용하였고, 시나리오 3은 수변폭을 8m로 하고 식생을 나무로 선정하였다. SWAT-REMM Enhanced 모형을 이용하여 수변림 시나리오를 적용 한 결과 지표하유출의 경우, 시나리오 1의 저감효율이 70%이상 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시나리오 1과 2를 비교한 결과 수변 폭이 넓을수록 저감 효율이 큰 것으로 분석 되었다.

In recent years, riparian buffer system has been known as one of the effective best management practices. However, establishment of riparian buffer system in aspect of plant species and its position in the riparian buffer zone has not been investigated due to lack of efficient evaluation method for the analysis of water quality improvement with established riparian buffer system. To solve this problem, the SWAT-REMM prototype was developed by the researchers in Canada. But, SWAT-REMM model can not consider the $NO_3-N$ load into riparian buffer system through subsurface flow. Thus to solved this problem, Fortran code of SWAT-REMM model was modified. This modified SWAT-REMM system was applied to the Bonggok watershed. Three riparian buffer scenarios, 15 m, 10 m, 5 m width for tree and grass, were made to evaluate the effects of riparian buffer system on water quality improvement. Reduction efficiency of T-N by riparian buffer system of 15 m wide was the greatest (6 ~ 37%, depending on subwatershed characteristics) among 3 scenarios. It indicates that the reduction efficiency of T-N load has increasing-tendency, as buffer width increasing. The results obtained from the analysis showed that wide buffer zones are found to be more effective in reducing non-point pollutant than narrow buffer zones in the riparian buffer zone system. Hence, the SWAT-REMM model could be efficiently used for evaluation and design the most effective riparian buffer systems to reduce pollutant loads to the watershed although many limitations still exist in SWAT-REMM model.

Pollutant in watersheds comes from two major sources which are NPS (nonpoint source pollution) and PS (point source pollution). Most of the pollutant can be treated by wastewater treatment plants. However, wastewater treatment plants may not be an appropriate practice to improve water quality for the watersheds with large portion of NPS pollutant and NPS pollution from direct runoff and baseflow has different characteristics. Therefore the practices to improve water quality need to be comprehensive for pollutants by both direct runoff and baseflow. Riparian buffer, one of practices to manage pollutant in watershed, has been applied to reduce pollutant not only from direct runoff but also baseflow. In this study, the scenarios for pollutant reduction by wastewater treat plants and the nitrogen reduction by riparian buffer were simulated using SWAT-REMM to suggest an effective plan for pollutant reduction from baseflow. Riparian buffer provided nitrogen reduction of 0.2~75.0% in YbB watershed and 38.0~47.0% in GbA watershed. The result indicates that riparian buffer is effective to reduce the pollutant especially from baseflow, and it suggested as suitable for the a watershed which WWTP discharge is not capable to reduce enough pollutant.

There have been many cases of using wetlands as an alternative in controlling stormwater, treating mining leachate, and agricultural discharge, and so on, recently. The reality is, however, that the wetlands are not properly applicable because of the lack of enough longterm data for wetlands due to the difficulty of long-term monitoring. Therefore, this study tries to analyze the storage of Upo, Mokpo, Sajipo, and Jjokjibeul in Topyeong watershed using SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model, one of the long-term runoff hydrologic model, for the purpose of generating the long-term data and analyzing the hydrologic behavior of wetlands based on the generated data. Also, the changes in runoff at the outlet are analyzed after applying the simulation of constructing washland in Topyeong watershed and the storage in Upo is analyzed. The result shows that the runoff at the outlet of the watershed is decreased in rainy season from July to August and increased in dry season from December to February. In addition, the analysis of Upo storage concludes that Upo can be influenced by the construction of the washland. The duration curve of washland is then analyzed in order to evaluate the wetland's sustainability in terms of washland and it appears that the runoff of washland is simulated to be less than that of the existing wetland. Moreover, runoffs of some washlands are simulated to be less even in wet season. These results lead to the fact that there should be further hydrologic management for constructed washland. Then, the changes in loads (TN and TP) because of constructing washland are analyzed. The result shows that the loads are reduced because of the construction. Also, the changes in loads due to the construction of buffer strips are analyzed to compare the load reductions caused by a washland. Finally, REMM model, a riparian management model, is applied to overcome the hydrologic ambiguousness of SWAT model, and then, the SWAT model results are compared to those of REMM.
