우리나라의 하천은 홍수방어와 토지이용을 목적으로 제방을 설치하고 하도를 직강화화 시켰으며, 저수로와 홍수터를 분리하는 단면의 조성 그리고 하천의 홍수터를 농경지나 공원 및·주차장 등으로 활용하는 등 홍수터를 인위적으로 고착화시켜왔다. 더욱이, 상류의 댐 및 저수지에서 방류량을 조절함으로써 중소규모의 홍수가 줄어드는 등 하천 흐름의 변화를 나타내는 유황이 단순해져 하상변화가 감소되고 건조화됨으로 인하여, 식생침입 등에 따른 하천 수림화가 진행되고 이로 인하여 하천이 습지라고 볼 수 없는 육역화 현상이 심화되고 있는 현실이다. 따라서 자연과 인간이 공존하기 위한 올바른 하천환경 관리를 위하여 해당하천에 대한 육역화의 원인규명 및 대책수립이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 1986년에 신곡 수중보가 건설되었고 이로인하여 하류의 수리적 환경 등의 여건변화로 사주의 변화가 급격히 진행된 한강의 장항습지를 대상으로 하천 육역화 현황 분석 및 외국의 하천 육역화 복원사례를 통하여 장항습지에서의 복원방안을 제안하였다. 장항습지는 한강하구를 향하여 우안으로 가늘고 길게 형성된 사주로서, 본 연구에서는 종단길이 약 7.5km(신곡수중보~일산대교)를 대상으로 하였으며, 조사구간 내 사주의 폭은 최장 약 500m, 최단 약 60m 정도이다. 장항습지의 경년별 면적비교 결과, 장항습지는 1985년대비 현재 약 11.7배로 확대되었으며, 특히 2016년도에 급격히 증가된 것으로 분석되었다.

최근 하천복원의 패러다임은 자연성 회복이라는 커다란 목표아래 하천연속성 확보 및 지형의 자연성 회복, 유황의 회복으로 하천의 역동성과 생태계건강성을 회복하는 것으로 변화되었다. 과거우리나라의 하천은 홍수방어 및 토지이용을 목적으로 제방을 설치하고 하도를 직강화화 시켰으며, 저수로와 홍수터를 분리하는 하도계획으로 인하여 하천의 홍수터를 농경지나 공원 및· 주차장 등으로 활용하는 등 홍수터를 인위적으로 고착화시켜왔다. 더욱이, 상류의 댐 및 저수지에서 방류량을 조절함으로써 중소규모의 홍수가 줄어드는 등 하천 흐름의 변화를 나타내는 유황이 단순해져 미지형 하상변화가 감소되었다. 뿐만아니라 하상이 건조화됨으로 인하여, 식생침입 등에 따른 하천 수림화가 진행되고 이로 인하여 하천이 습지라고 볼 수 없는 육역화 현상이 심화되고 있는 현실이다. 따라서 자연과 인간이 공존하기 위한 올바른 하천환경 관리를 위하여 수림화 및 육역화 정도 분석 및 해당하천에 대한 육역화의 원인규명, 이에 대한 대책 수립이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 하천지형의 형성과정, 하천식생의 정착과정, 하도육역화의 정의, 육역화 방지를 위한 국외사례를 분석하며, 한강 장항습지의 사례를 통하여 육역화방지 대책 및 복원방안을 제안하였다

This study shows the geomorphological processes of Yuga alluvial fan at Dalseong-gun, Daegu in Korea, based on characteristics of geomorphological surfaces, analysis of geomorphological deposits and OSL age dating. Alluvial fans of this area are classified into three surfaces(YG-F1, YG-F2, YG-F3) and were formed by the depositional processes resulting from the changes in hydraulic geometry of flowing water which was a stream flowing out of mountains debouched on to a plain, not by a sudden decrease in surface gradient of river bed. YG-F3 surface, about 110,000 yr B.P.(MIS 5.4), was formed as Yongri river deposited a lot of debris. This result was due to the process that the deposition took place actively with the upward of base level as the last interglacial period began. Later, the denudation of the river valley and geomorphological surface constantly occurred and the local and seasonal changes were found in precipitation and stream discharge with the beginning of the interstadial of the last glacial stages(MIS 3), leading to YG-F2 formed by debris flow, earth flow, mud flow and stream flow. Then, short-term climate changes and temporal climate events repeatedly caused aggradation and denudation over time and going through these processes, YG-F1 is believed to have been made by earth flow or mudflow during the last glacial maximum(MIS 2).

Estuary is unique habitat ground under substantial changes of water quality, river side, bed material, and micro topography. Construction of SinGok underwater weir with excessive dredging for downstream of weir has changed hydraulic conditions of Han River. This study investigates spatial changes of estuary and expansion process of vegetation on sandbar for JangHang estuary in Han River through analysis of physical and ecological characteristics. As a result of investigation, we found that area of sandbar in JangHang estuary is expanded six times compared between 1985 and 2006, and area of Phragmites australis is gradually decreased while area of Salix subfragilis Anderson. is increased. Also the analysis result of soil layer shows that the Jang-Hang wetlands are created by effect from river, and woody plants are settled from middle part of wetlands, then spread to upper and lower part of wetlands.

The development of the Hantan river basin can be divided into three stages. The first stage include the ancient Hantan channel system prior to the Chongokni basalt which yield dates of about 0.6 mya from the K/Ar dating method. During this period the Baekuyri formation was formed. The Baekuyri formation is widely observed under the Chongokni basalt along the current river system. The second stage is the period when stream channels stayed on the top of the basalt plateau. Aggradation and deggradation were continued by meandering and braiding channel systems until major stream channel was formed. The currently remaining deposit on the top of the basalt was formed by lacustrine and fluvial systems in this period. During this period Pleistocene hominid was present on edge of water and flood plain and left Paleolithic material. This period was begun at the time of the final basalt flow dated about 300,000 BP. The third stage is designed for the time when the Hantan river channel was dropped down to a level from which the channel could not influence the top of the basalt any more No more deposit could be formed but erosion by surface water has been continued on the top of the basalt since then. The dropping of the Hantan river channel was probably not very long after the final flow of the basalt. Because of frost action and heavy concentrated precipitation in the basin area along with blocky and clumnar joint structure of the basalt, erosional process of the basalt is believed to have been carried out within a relatively short time. The lowering of the Hantan river channel was probably completed in a cycle of major fluctuation of world cimate. Also, the redclay on the top of the basalt is believed to have been formed during a warm period around 200,000 BP, which accords with the climatic change suggested above fair1y well. The Paleolithic materials in tile deposits fell accordingly into approximately same time period.

This paper attempted to analyze the hydraulic effects that the dredging can take as an alternative to reduce possible damages of flooding due to the overflow of river levee in meandering rivers, where riverbed aggradation, seepage and erosion may occur. In order to make a hydraulic analysis in a section of meandering rivers, a two-dimensional hydraulic analysis model, RMA-2, was selected. The GIS was applied to construct two-dimensional finite element grids to consider the hydraulic conditions before and after dredging. The water surface elevations, depths, velocities, and tractive forces were compared before and after the dredging. The difference of water surface elevation between the inside and outside of river was turned out to be the maximum value of 0.58m under the design flood condition. It could be evaluated that the tractive force at the bank decreased about 42 to 67% on average for all the sections. These results could give valuable information that the dredging of the stream channel at the meandering sections decreased the risk of overflow, seepage and erosion of the banks. The methodologies given in this study will contribute to mitigating the flood damages in the surrounding farmlands.
