The HEC-HMS model was applied to identify the rainfall-runoff processes for the Anseongchun basin, where the lower part of the stream has been damaged severely by tropical storms in the past. Modeling processes include incorporating with the SCS-CN model for loss, Clark's UH model for transformation, exponential recession model for baseflow, and Muskingum model for channel routing. The parameters were calibrated through an optimization technique using a trial and error method. Sensitivity analysis after calibration was performed to understand the effects of parameters, such as the time of concentration, storage coefficient, and base flow related constants. Two storm water events were simulated by the model and compared with the corresponding observations. Good accuracy in predicting the runoff volume, peak flow, and the time to peak flow was achieved using the selected methods. The results of this study can be used as a useful tool for decision makers to determine a master plan for regional flood control management.

Spatial and temporal distributions of POC and DOC were surveyed in the North Han River system, Korea The proportion of algal cells was calculated in four reservoirs (Lakes Soyang, Paro, Chunchon, and Uiam). Monthly average DOC concentrations ranged from 1.5 to 2.3 mg C/L, and POC showed larger variation than DOC (range 0.3 to 1.9 mg C/L). The average proportion of POC in TOC was higher than those of typical natural lakes. Due to the influence of the Asian summer monsoon, the seasonal variation in POC concentration depended on heavy rain events occurring during the summer. POC concentrations increased during the summer monsoon season due to turbid storm runoff laden with debris, while DOC concentrations did not increase. The highest POC concentrations were observed in Lake Soyang in 2006 when a severe rain event occurred. In two deep stratified reservoirs (Lake Soyang and Paro) storm runoffs formed an intermediate turbidity layer with high POC and chlorophyll concentrations which is thought to originate from terrestrial debris and periphyton transported by inflowing streams. The proportion of algal cells in total POC was much lower than for most natural lakes, and it varied with season; low in the monsoon season and high in dry seasons with algal blooms. An analysis of POC concentration and chlorophyll a concentration showed that the ratio of POC/Chl.a varied from 24 to 80.

The various external forces can cause inundation in coastal areas. This study is to analyze regional characteristics caused by single or compound external forces that can occur in coastal areas. Storm surge (tide level and wave overtopping) and rainfall were considered as the external forces in this study. The inundation analysis were applied to four coastal areas, located on the west and south coast in Republic of Korea. XP-SWMM was used to simulate rainfall-runoff phenomena and 2D ground surface inundation for watershed. A coupled model of ADCIRC and SWAN (ADCSWAN) was used to analyze tide level by storm surge and the FLOW-3D model was used to estimate wave overtopping. As a result of using a single external force, the inundation influence due to storm surge in most of the coastal areas was greater than rainfall. The results of using compound external forces were quite similar to those combined using one external force independently. However, a case of considering compound external forces sometimes created new inundation areas that didn't appear when considering only a single external force. The analysis considering compound external forces was required to reduce inundation damage in these areas.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the availability of dual-polarization radar rain for flood routing in Chungju Dam watershed($6,625.8km^2$) using KIMSTORM (Grid-based KIneMatic wave STOrm Runoff Model). The Sobaek dual-polarization radar data for 1 heavy rain and 3 typhoon(Khanun, Bolaven, and Sanba) events in 2012 were obtained from Han River Flood Control Office. The spatio-temporal patterns between the two data were similar showing the ratio of radar rain to ground rain with 0.97. The KIMSTORM was set to $500{\times}500m$ resolution and a total of 45,738 cells(198 rows${\times}$231 columns) for the watershed. For radar rain and 41 ground rains, the model was independently calibrated using discharge data at 3 streamflow gauging stations(YW1, YC, and CJD) with coefficient of determination($R^2$), Nash and Sutcliffe Model Efficiency(ME), and Volume Conservation Index(VCI). The $R^2$, ME, and VCI 0.80, 0.62 and 1.08 for radar rain and 0.83, 0.68 and 1.10 for ground rain respectively.

The increase of pollutant loadings from nonpoint sources affect the water quality of the major rivers in Korea. Consequently, the need for managing the nonpoint source (NPS) pollution becomes the main concern of the Korean Ministry of Environment (MOE). Recently, the policy was changed from pollutant concentration-restricting approach to the total maximum daily load (TMDL) approach to improve the water quality and protect the aquatic ecosystem. Part of the program is the construction of Best Management Practice (BMP) pilot facilities basically to control NPS. Most of the BMPs adopted were foreign technologies which could not be properly employed in the country due to some limitations such as climate, watershed characteristics, etc. In other words, to be able to apply the BMPs, research on its applicability is necessary. In this study, a three-year monitoring has been conducted to assess the treatment performance of the BMP installed in highway toll plaza and parking lot. The data gathered aid in the characterization of NPS pollutants in runoff and estimation of the pollutant removal efficiency of the BMP. The results will be used for the future implementation of BMP in different land uses as well as for the determination of optimum operation and maintenance.

When designing hydraulic structures, the chosen method of time distribution in a hyetograph is highly significant. There are several methods used for measuring time distribution. In the case of Huff (1967), which is widely used in Korea, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation (MOCT, 2000), and the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs (MOLTMA, 2011) have long been increasing their use of this method. The MOLTMA uses the conventional Huff method's measurement of 1 inch (25.4 mm) as the threshold. Many researchers have pointed out that this method often leads to underestimation, because of the excessive flatness. Therefore, for this study, a new time distribution method was developed to analyze only extreme rainfall events-those over the standard of severe rainstorms (that is, more than 30 mm per hour or 80 mm per day)-and that was verified using a rainfall-runoff model and applying it to a real basin.

In this study, we computed the unit load of nonpoint source for the forest, agricultural, and urban representative region in Anseongchun watershed. In addition, Flow-weighted mean concentration (FWMC) that well represents runoff characteristics of storm water during rainfall, was calculated, and runoff pollutants loading was also examined. FWMCs of 1st rainfall, which runoff coefficient was high, had a tendency higher than those of 2nd rainfall. Based on landuse results, pollutant concentration of the non-urban such as forest and agricultural regions was higher than that of urban region. In case of BOD, runoff pollutants loading was calculated as 1,395, 1,623, 2,268kg/d in 1st rainfall for forest, agricultural, and urban regions, respectively, while runoff loading of 2nd rainfall was 503kg/d in forest), 512kg/d in agricultural, and 898kg/d in urban. By landuses, unit load of the urban as 72.7kg/ha/yr was 12 times higher than that of the agricultural as 6.5kg/ha/yr, and 8 times higher than that of the forest as 9.5kg/ha/yr.

홍수량산정과 관련하여 국내 실무에서 어려움을 겪는 가장 큰 문제는 설계강우의 결정이다. 설계강우와 관련하여 세부적으로 살펴보면 크게 강우의 시간분포(예를 들면 Huff, Mononobe, 교호블록 등), 강우의 공간분포(ARF 적용 등)의 두가지 문제로 집약될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 강우의 시간분포와 공간분포에 관련된 문제를 동시에 해결할 수 있는 방법으로 교호블록형 이동설계강우에 대한 적용 방법을 제안하고 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 연구된 강우의 이동속도와 여름철 저기압기단과 태풍의 이동속도 등을 감안하고 나아가 표준화된 방법으로서 적용의 용이성 등을 고려하여 강우의 이동속도 $\upsilonv\;=\;10km/hr$, $\Delta\;=\;10km$ 간격으로 직사각형 띠 형태로 연결되는 이동강우를 채택하였다. 강우의 이동방향은 서$\rightarrow$동, 남$\rightarrow$북, 남서$\rightarrow$북동의 3가지 방향을 기준하였다. 유역특성 이동강우 3가지(서$\rightarrow$동, 남$\rightarrow$북, 남서$\rightarrow$북동)와 정체강우 2가지(유역평균, 유역특성) 등 총 5가지 경우에 대하여 100년 빈도 48시간 설계강우를 한강유역의 분포형 강우-유출 모형에 적용하여 그 결과를 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. (1) 정체강우에 있어서 유역평균강우와 유역특성강우에 대한 홍수량 비교를 통하여 해당 유역의 홍수량과 강우량과의 관계를 판단할 수 있었다. 충주댐유역의 경우 한강유역 전체에 대한 평균 100년 빈도 강우가 내린다면 23,000cms까지도 발생할 수 있으나 충주댐유역 100년 빈도에 해당하는 강우량으로는 18,000cms 정도의 홍수량이 발생하여 상대적으로 강우량이 적은 지역으로 나타났다. 반면에 임진강하류부는 한강유역평균강우 보다 더 많은 강우량이 내림으로 인하여 홍수량이 증가하는 유역임을 알 수 있었다. (2) 이동설계강우에 대하여 분석한 결과 유역이 매우 크거나 매우 작으면 강우의 이동방향에 대한 영향이 상대적으로 감소해가는 반면에 중규모 유역에서 상대적으로 영향이 크게 나타났다. 한강하구와 같은 대유역의 경우 여러 방향의 유역들이 유출에 기여하기 때문에 강우의 이동방향에 대한 영향이 상쇄되기 때문으로 분석되었다. 반면에 매우 작은 소유역의 경우는 전체 유역이 단일 강우강도의 영향권에 놓이게 되므로 이동방향의 영향이 나타나지 않는 것으로 나타났다. (3) 정체설계강우와 이동설계강우의 비교를 통하여 한강하구와 같은 대유역의 이동강우에 대한 ARF 효과를 간접 측정할 수 있었다. (4) 정체설계강우 보다 이동설계강우가 오히려 더 큰 첨두홍수량을 발생시키는 유역들이 있었다. 이와 같은 수문현상은 기존 정체형 설계강우로는 분석이 어려운 현상으로서 강우와 유역특성에 대한 보다 심층적인 연구 필용성을 제기하고 있다.

The influences of the space allocation of design rainfall and partition of the subbasin on the characteristics of urban storm runoff was investigated for the 6 drainage basins by applying SWMM model. It show the deviation of -54.68∼18.77% in the peak discharge when we applied the composed JUFF quantiles to the two zones which are divided by upper and lower region of the basin. Then it is compared with the value for the case of using uniform rainfall distribution all over the drainage. Therefore, it would be helpful to decrease the flood risk when we adopt the space distribution of the design rainfall. The effects of the partitioning the drainage on the computing result shows various responses because of the surface characteristics of the each basin such as slope, imperviousness ratio, buy we can get closer result to the measured value as we make the subbasin detailed. If we use the concept of the skewness and area ratio when we determine the width of subbasin, we can improve the computed result even with fewer number of subbasins. We expect reasonable results which close into the measured results in the range of relative error, 25%, when we divide the basin into more than 3 subbasins and the total urban drainage area is less than 10$\textrm{km}^2$.

The purpose of Total Pollution Load Control at Tributary is to obtain maximum improvement effect of water quality through finding the most impaired section of water-body and establishing the proper control measure of pollutant load. This study was implemented to determine the optimal management of reach, period, condition, watershed, and pollution source and propose appropriate reduction practices using the Load duration curve (LDC) and field monitoring data. With the data of measurement, LDC analysis shows that the most impaired condition is reach V (G4~G5), E group (flow exceedance percentile 90~100%) and winter season. For this reason, winter season and low flow condition should be preferentially considered to restore water quality. The result of pollution analysis for the priority reach and period shows that agricultural nonpoint source loads from onion and garlic culture are most polluting. Therefore, it is concluded that agricultural reuse of surface effluent (storm-water runoff with non-point sources) and low impact farming that includes reducing fertilization and controlling the height of drainage outlet are efficient water quality management for this study watershed.
