This study implemented the rainfall-runoff analysis of the Mekong River basin using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool). The runoff analysis was simulated for 2000~2007, and 11 parameters were calibrated using the SUFI-2 (Sequential Uncertainty Fitting-version 2) algorithm of SWAT-CUP (Calibration and Uncertainty Program). As a result of analyzing optimal parameters and sensitivity analysis for 6 cases, the parameter ALPHA_BF was found to be the most sensitive. The reproducibility of the rainfall-runoff results decreased with increasing number of stations used for parameter calibration. The rainfall-runoff simulation results of Case 6 showed that the RMSE of Nong Khai and Kratie stations were 0.97 and 0.9, respectively, and the runoff patterns were relatively accurately simulated. The runoff patterns of Mukdahan and Khong Chaim stations were underestimated during the flood season from 2004 to 2005 but it was acceptable in terms of the overall runoff pattern. These results suggest that the combination of SWAT and SWAT-CUP models is applicable to very large watersheds such as the Mekong for rainfall-runoff simulation, but further studies are needed to reduce the range of modeling uncertainty.

수도권 지역의 신도시 개발에 따른 유역의 도시화와 인구 증가는 유역의 피복상태를 변화시키고, 생태계에 영향을 미치는 수문학적 과정과 하천수질의 변화를 초래하게 된다. 지표면의 침투, 침루 및 토양함수량을 변화시키고, 차단저류량과 요지저류량(depression storage) 등을 변화시킴으로서 유출량과 수질을 변화시키게 되는 것이다. 이와 같은 수문학적과정을 평가하기 위해서는 수문모형을 사용하는데 본 연구에서는 미국 농림부에서 개발한 SWAT모형을 이용하였다. SWAT-K모형은 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형에 인위적, 자연적인 물순환 구조변화와 지표수-지하수 연계 해석 등을 개선하여, 강우 증발산 토양수분 지표수 지하수 등의 시, 공간적 분포를 정량적으로 산정하는 장기유출 해석 모형이다. 또한, 본 모형의 적용을 위하여 GIS를 이용한 공간정보를 처리하여 수문모형의 매개변수를 결정하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 ArcView GIS를 이용하여 입력자료를 구축하였다. 대상유역은 판교유역으로서 신도시 개발이 한창 진행되고 있는 지역으로서, 개발 과정에 따라 수문특성, 유출특성, 수질변화 특성 등이 계속하여 변화되고 있으며, 개발이 완전히 종료된 이후의 특성을 예측할 필요가 있는 유역이다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT-K모형을 이용하여 판교 신도시 개발에 따른 장기유출량을 예측하였고 모델의 매개변수를 최적화하였으며, 그 결과 본 모델이 장기 유출량 해석 및 판교유역의 수문변화를 평가하는데 유용하게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

This study is to test the applicability of QuickBird image for non-point source pollution assessment. SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model was adopted and the model was calibrated for a stream watershed of 255.4 $km^2$ Landsat land use data. For model application with QuickBird image, a precise agricultural land use map of 1.16 $km^2$ area located in the upstream watershed was produced by field investigation. The model was run with the combination of land use and soil map scales (1:5,000, 1:25,000 and 1:50,000). The results were compared and analyzed for the contribution of non-point source pollution by the land use scale and contents.

The size, scale, and number of subwatersheds can affect a watershed modeling process and subsequent results. The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate level of subwatershed division for simulating streamflow. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) model with a GIS interface(BASINS SWAT) was applied to Yongdam Dam watershed. Daily output was analyzed from simulation, which was executed for 10 years using climate data representing the 1987 to 1996 period. The optimal number of subwatersheds and HRUs to adequately predict streamflow was found to be around 15, 174. Increasing the number of subwatersheds and HRUs beyond this level does not significantly affect the computed streamflow. this number of subwatersheds and HRUs can be used to optimize SWAT input data preparation requirements and simplify the interpretation of results without compromising simulation accuracy.

The water quality from nonpoint source run off results from different land use types has been studied. The construction of a buffer strip is one method of nonpoint source pollutant control. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been applied to estimate the pollutant removal through the buffer strip. When the non-business land has been changed into grass to form a buffer-strip, the change of land use effects the results of the model according to measures of the water quality. The data from a water level station within the watershed in the years 2006 and 2007 was used for calibration and validation of the model. Under the rainfall conditions in 2007, the removal rates of SS, BOD, TN, TP were 11.5%, 9.5%, 1.2%, and 4.5%, respectively. During the rainy days, the removal rates at the buffer strip were 92.3% of SS, 91.2% of BOD, 82.4% of TN, and 83.5% of TP. The pollutants from nonpoint sources were effectively removed by over 80% as they passed through the buffer strips. Rainfall resulted in soil erosion, which led to an increase in the SS concentration, therefore, the construction of buffer strips protected the streams from SS inflows. Since TN concentrations are affected by the inflows of ground water and the N concentration of the rainfall, the removal rate of TN was relatively lower than for the other pollutants.

Significant soil erosion and water quality degradation issues are occurring at highland agricultural areas of Kangwon province because of agronomic and topographical specialities of the region. Thus spatial and temporal modeling techniques are often utilized to analyze soil erosion and sediment behaviors at watershed scale. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model is one of the watershed scale models that have been widely used for these ends in Korea. In most cases, the SWAT users tend to use the readily available input dataset, such as the Ministry of Environment (MOE) land cover data ignoring temporal and spatial changes in land cover. Spatial and temporal resolutions of the MOE land cover data are not good enough to reflect field condition for accurate assesment of soil erosion and sediment behaviors. Especially accelerated soil erosion is occurring from agricultural fields, which is sometimes not possible to identify with low-resolution MOD land cover data. Thus new land cover data is prepared with cadastral map and high spatial resolution images of the Doam-dam watershed. The SWAT model was calibrated and validated with this land cover data. The EI values were 0.79 and 0.85 for streamflow calibration and validation, respectively. The EI were 0.79 and 0.86 for sediment calibration and validation, respectively. These EI values were greater than those with MOE land cover data. With newly prepared land cover dataset for the Doam-dam watershed, the SWAT model better predicts hydrologic and sediment behaviors. The number of HRUs with new land cover data increased by 70.2% compared with that with the MOE land cover, indicating better representation of small-sized agricultural field boundaries. The SWAT estimated annual average sediment yield with the MOE land cover data was 61.8 ton/ha/year for the Doam-dam watershed, while 36.2 ton/ha/year (70.7% difference) of annual sediment yield with new land cover data. Especially the most significant difference in estimated sediment yield was 548.0% for the subwatershed #2 (165.9 ton/ha/year with the MOE land cover data and 25.6 ton/ha/year with new land cover data developed in this study). The results obtained in this study implies that the use of MOE land cover data in SWAT sediment simulation for the Doam-dam watershed could results in 70.7% differences in overall sediment estimation and incorrect identification of sediment hot spot areas (such as subwatershed #2) for effective sediment management. Therefore it is recommended that one needs to carefully validate land cover for the study watershed for accurate hydrologic and sediment simulation with the SWAT model.

For sustainable development at a watershed, environment friendly site-specific management practices need to be developed and implemented. The soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT)model has been world-wide used to estimate stream flow, sediment, and nonpoint source pollutant loads, and effects on water quality of different management practices. In this study, the SWAT model was used to estimate the flow resources at Hwacheon areas using Digital Elevation Model(DEM),Land use, precipitation ,wind ,maximum and minimum temperature, solar radiation, humidity of watershed The R2 value and EI value for the comparison of SWAT estimated flow and measured flow were 0.87 and 0.67 respectively for calibration period, and the R2 value and E1 value for validation were 0.75 and 0.67 respectively. The comparison results show what the SWAT model is applicable to simulate hydrology behaviors at this study watershed.

In this paper, we constructed the integrated watershed model system, SWAT-Nak Dong that include areal mean precipitaiton, runoff and water balance components in the Nak Dong river basins and with this model system we are capable of estimating streamflows for ungaged river stations and analyzing the variations of the streamflows. SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) is a conceptual, continous time model that was developed in the early 1990s to assist water resource managers in assessing the impact of management and climate on water supplies and non-point source pollution III watersheds and large river basins. Using the SWAT-Nak Dong system and various scenarios, we analyzed and evaluated the dams and water uses effects on the streamflows.

수문 분석과 갈수기 유량 산정, 가뭄관리에 직접/기저 유출 분리 및 평가는 매우 중요하며, 이러한 분석을 위하여 많은 모형들이 개발되었고, 실제 유역에 적용되어 연구에 이용되고 있다. 이들 중 Baseflow filter program(BFlow)을 이용한 감수곡선의 Alpha factor 산정 방법이 직접/기저 유출 분리에 널리 이용되고 있다. 하지만 BFlow는 장기 유량 자료를 이용하여 그 유역을 대표할 수 있는 Alpha factor 만을 제시하고 있기 때문에, 계절별/연별로 변화하는 감수곡선의 특성을 정확히 반영하기에는 많은 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 계절별로 변화하는 감수곡선 특성을 조금 더 정확하게 실제 유역에 적용하기 위하여 BFlow 프로그램이용, 장기간의 유량 특성을 분석하여 계절별 Alpha factor를 산정하고 이를 Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) 모형에 적용하여 기존의 방법과의 차이를 분석하였다. SWAT 모형의 경우 alpha factor가 실제로는 Hydrologic Response Unit (HRU) 별로 활용되기 때문에, 계절별 Alpha factor 산정이 미치는 영향이 실제로 다소 크게 분석되었다. 특히 본 연구에서는 저유량 부분의 차이를 면밀히 분석하여 Alpha factor 저유량 산정에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였으며 이는 SWAT 모형의 단점인 저유량 산정을 개선하는데 기여할 수 있으리라 판단된다.
