Increased Non-permeable areas which have resulted from civilization reduce the volume of groundwater infiltration that is one of the important factors causing water shortage during a dry season. Thus, seeking the efficient method to analyze the volume of groundwater in accurate should be needed to solve water shortage problems. In this study, two different watersheds were selected and precipitation, soil group, and land use were surveyed in a particular year in order to figure out the accuracy of estimated infiltration recharge ratio compared to Web-based Hydrograph Analysis Tool (WHAT). The volume of groundwater was estimated considering Antecedent soil Moisture Condition (AMC) and Curve Number (CN) using Long Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment (L-THIA) model. The results of this study showed that in the case of Kyoung-an watershed, the volume of both infiltration and baseflow seperated from WHAT was 46.99% in 2006 and 33.68% in 2007 each and in Do-am watershed the volume of both infiltration and baseflow was 33.48% in 2004 and 23.65% in 2005 respectively. L-THIA requires only simple data (i.e., land uses, soils, and precipitation) to simulate the accurate volume of groundwater. Therefore, with convenient way of L-THIA, researchers can manage watershed more effectively than doing it with other models. L-THIA has limitations that it neglects the contributions of snowfall to precipitation. So, to estimate more accurate assessment of the long term hydrological impacts including groundwater with L-THIA, further researches about snowfall data in winter should be considered.

This study are carried out to an lab model tests to develop a construction method that solidifies high-water content cohesive soil by using filter type drain and vacuum pressure, and that stabilizes the ground by accelerating horizontal drain at incline or in tunnel. The calibration chamber was designed within length of 1.5m and height of 50cm, and a drainage hole for preconsolidation, a switchgear and a piezometer were installed at the bottom part of the chamber. Also, a settlement gage was installed at the top part so that it can measure the settlement by time. The calibration ground basis was made in a form of thin layer from kaolinite and bentonite in 9:1 ratio stirred at 130% water content condition. A filter type drain was installed at chamber center and a vacuum pressure of 0.8MPa was applied through a hose linked to the cap at the top part, then, the settlement was measured in every 1 hour interval. After experiment, the moisture contents were measured by position, then, verified the increase of solidity of the ground through a triaxial compression test on undisturbed profile. After 11 days from the effective date, it was observed that the settlement decreased by maximum 35mm and the water content ratio was reduced by 38% at most while the solidity of the ground increased by 5~8 times greater than before preconsolidation.

Hydrological characteristics and urbanization effects in the Gap river catchment were investigated employing the SWAT model. The hydrological characteristics analysis showed that total runoff in the whole catchment from 2001 to 2004 consists of 44% of groundwater flow, 6% of lateral flow and 50% of surface flow under year 2000 landuse conditions. The analysis of urbanization effect using different landuse maps for year 1975 and 2000 indicated that although 5% increase in urbanized areas did not significantly impact on the total runoff in the whole catchment, a sub-basin where urbanized area increased by 32% over the past 30 years showed $68{\sim}73%$ decrease in groundwater flow and $22{\sim}66%$ increase in surface flow. It was found that urbanization decreased overall soil moisture and percolation rate except for some increase in soil moisture during dry season. Urbanization effect was found more sensitive during a dry year which has less rainfall and higher evapotranspiration than during a wet year. Therefore, from the results of this study we could infer increased flood damage during wet season and dried stream during dry season due to urbanization. To conclude, the results of this study can provide fundamental information to the eco-friendly restoration project for the three major rivers (Gap-cheon, Yudeung-cheon and Daejeon-cheon) in Daejeon Metropolitan City.

수자원관리와 수문모형에 있어 강수, 증발산, 침투, 침루 등의 물 순환과정에 대한 실질적인 이해와 분석연구의 중요도가 높아지고 있는 실정이며, 그중에서도 토양수분은 강수의 침투, 유출 등의 지표면과 대기사이의 질량 및 에너지이동에 관여하는 중요한 요소로서 수자원 및 수문현상에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 이를 위해 강수, 증발산, 토양수분과 같은 수문변수에 대한 다양한 관측이 실시되어야 하지만 국내에서는 지속적이고 안정적으로 지상관측을 할 수 없는 실정이며 관련 기반기술도 매우 취약하다. 따라서 이를 극복하기 위해서는 위성영상자료를 이용함으로써 한반도 전체에 대한 광역적인 토양수분자료의 획득을 용이하게 한다. 본 연구의 연구유역은 수자원 연구를 위해서 지정된 용담댐 시험유역으로 하였으며, 토양수분 관측지점의 지상관측 수문자료인 각 지점별 강수량, 지면온도, 인공위성자료인 MODIS 정규식생지수 등의 가용자료를 수집하고 신경망모형을 활용한 토양수분자료 생산 모형을 개발하여, 개선된 시공간 분해능과 공간정보 대표성을 가진 광역 토양수분자료를 생산하고 적용타당성을 분석하였다. 산정된 토양수분모형의 적용가능성을 파악하고자 용담댐 유역의 각 지점별 토양수분 관측데이터와 추정데이터를 비교한 결과 추천, 부귀, 상정 지점의 경우 평균 약 0.9257의 상관계수와 약 1.2917의 평균제곱근오차를 보였고, 검증지점인 천천2의 경우 약 0.8982의 상관계수와 약 5.1361의 평균제곱근오차의 결과를 보여주었으며 토양수분 추정모형의 적용가능성이 높음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Synoptic and climatological characteristics of heat waves over Korea and Europe as well as their biometeorological impacts were compared. In July of 1994, excess deaths of about 2,388 in the population of South Korea are estimated by the modified excess death calculation algorithm ofKysely (2004). The excess deaths correspond to the net mortality increase of 12.5% in July of 1994 if we compare the estimated value to the expected number of deaths in this month (i.e., about 19,171). The comparative study of heat waves in Korea and Europe shows that the record-breaking heat waves in both regions are closely associated with prolonged droughts. In particular, reduction of soil moisture, precipitation and cloud cover and enhancement of insolation during the drought periods are very likely to be related to the increase in the intensity and the duration ofheat waves. Climate models predict that the frequency, intensity, and duration of heat waves in the 21 st century will be greatly enhanced in both areas. In order to reduce the biometeorological and socioeconomic impacts due to heat waves, not only the development of heat-related mortality prediction model that can be widely applied to many climate regimes, but also studies on the climatological association between extreme temperatures and abnormal hydrological cycle are needed.

Drought risk assessment is usually performed qualitatively and quantitatively depending on the definition a drought. The meteorological drought indices have a limit of not being able to consider the hydrological components such as evapotranspiration, soil moisture and runoff, because it does not consider the water demand in paddies and water supply in reservoirs. Agricultural drought was defined as the reservoir storage shortage state that cannot satisfy water requirement from the paddy fields. The objectives of this study were to suggest improved agricultural drought risk assessment in order to evaluate of regional drought vulnerability and severity studied by using Reservoir Drought Index (RDI). The RDI is designed to simulate daily water balance between available water from agricultural reservoir and water requirement in paddies and is calculated with a frequency analysis of monthly water deficit based on water demand and water supply condition. The results indicated that RDI can be used to assess regional drought risk in agricultural perspective by comparing with the historical records of drought in 2012. It can be concluded that the RDI obtained good performance to reflect the historical drought events for both spatially and temporally. In addition, RDI is expected to contribute to determine the exact situation on the current drought condition for evaluating regional drought risk and to assist the effective drought-related decision making.

본 연구는 앙상블 칼만필터(Ensemble Kalman Filter)를 통해 인공위성 기반 토양수분 자료를 수문모형에 동화하여 단위 격자에 대한 수문인자를 산출하고자 한다. 수문모형은 Variable Infiltration Capacity(VIC) model을 대상으로 수행하였으며, 시범 유역으로는 소양강댐 유역을 선정하였다. 입력자료는 2007년 이후 8년간 자료를 수집하였으며, 2007-2010년 관측 유량 자료를 사용하여 모형을 보정하고, 2011-2014년 자료를 통하여 검증하였다. Isolated-Speciation Particle Swarm Optimization(ISPSO) 기법을 통하여 매개변수를 추정하였고, 보정기간 뿐 아니라 검증 기간에 대해서도 높은 모형효율성계수를 얻을 수 있었다. VIC 모형 자료 동화 대상 자료로는 AMSR2 위성 토양 수분 자료, 지상관측 토양수분 보간자료 및 조건부합성방법을 통한 위성/지점 융합 토양수분을 선정하였다. 위성 토양 수분 자료는 값을 과대 추정하는 경향이 있었으며, 지상관측 보간 자료는 유량이 큰 사상에 대한 첨두 유량을 과소 추정하는 경향을 보였다. 인공위성자료와 지상 자료를 합성한 조건부합성기법 토양수분자료는 더 정확한 추정이 가능하여 모의의 정확도가 향상되었다. 본 연구를 통해서 미계측 유역에 대해 격자별 수문기상인자 정보를 제공할 수 있으며, 데이터베이스를 구축하여 다양한 수문분석에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

유역의 물수지는 기상인자, 지형, 토양, 식생 등 여러 가지 인자들에 의해 결정된다. 물수지 분포를 평가하기 위해 수문모형의 모의 시 필요한 수문요소 조건들을 정보화하게 되며, 동시에 토양수분의 특성, 강우 입력자료, 유역의 지형학적 특성들은 불확실성에 기인하는 요소로 작용한다. 이러한 수문모형 모의 시 불확실성을 제거하기 위해 모형 초기조건에 대한 다각적인 분석이 선행이 필요하다. 특히 토양수분은 대기와 지표 사이의 상호작용에 작용하는 중요한 수문기상학적 인자로 평가되고 있다. 토양수분 데이터 자료를 이용하여 강우-유출모형의 입력자료를 구축하여 실제 토양수분의 변동성을 파악하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 유역기반의 유출현황을 산정하기 위해 매우 유용한 초기조건으로 그 역할이 기대된다. 현장에서 관측하는 토양수분 데이터는 넓은 유역의 토양수분을 대표하는 자료로 사용되기에는 한계점이 있으며, 위성기반 토양수분 데이터는 원격탐사를 통해 획득되기 때문에 토양수분의 시 공간적인 변동성 파악에 용의하며 경제성 또한 높다. 이에 따라, 본 연구에서는 유역의 수문순환 분석을 하고, 위성기반 토양수분의 적용 가능성을 평가하기 위해 Aqua위성에 탑재된 Advanced Mircowave Scanning Radiometer Earth Observing System(AMSR-E)와 Metop-A의 Advanced SCATterometer(ASCAT)의 토양수분 데이터를 이용하여 강우-유출모델의 초기조건을 산정하였다. 또한, 이에 대한 검증을 위해 기존 강우인자 초기조건 및 지점에서 관측된 토양수분 초기조건 등을 비교하여 통계분석을 실시하였다.

Background and objective: This study examined, compared, and analyzed the tree vitality of the trees growing on the artificial ground of Seoullo 7017 that transformed the overpass that was to be demolished into a "sky garden" using portable tree pots. Methods: Based on the summer season when the metabolic activity of plants is most active, this study measured the cambial electrical resistance in four directions(east, west, south and north), using the Shigometer (model OZ-93, Osmose) and compared the location and analysis of pots according to their means and standard errors. Results: Meanwhile, according to the analysis, vitality was relatively superior in pots with a big diameter, trees planted individually than in groups, trees of the ramp section rather than the bridge section, and in the southwest direction of the cambium. Conclusion: This study revealed the improper condition of the planting plan and implementation on the site, where various species of trees are displayed in a poor environment. Despite the significant assessment of the vitality of various trees introduced within Seoullo 7017 for the first time, this study is limited in that the data used were measured only once in summer. In this regard, it raised the need for continuous interest in and monitoring of a special plant environment and development of proper maintenance and management techniques, along with follow-up research on seasonal and temperature conditions, soil moisture and root development conditions to supplement this research.
