The main purpose of this study was to develop a new method for evaluation of stream naturalness in order to appraise and prescribe for streams effectively in the process of ecological restoration of stream corridors. The results are as follows : 1) For this purpose six factors were selected on considering the spatial axes of stream corridor variation and total 20 descriptors about the physical structure were selected. 2) The calculation of S.N.I. for each segment was consisted of three steps, such as calculation of S.N.I.s of the individual descriptors, averaging all the descriptors's for each factor, and finally averaging the factors's for the Total S.N.I. 3) The evaluation unit was decided to be 100m size. The score system ranging 1~5 was adopted. Weighting parameters of factors were unified with each other. 4) A GIS model was adopted for classification, calculation, querying, analysing, and presenting S.N.I. information. And the format of S.N.I. maps including statistical graphs and other spatial watershed information was designed for the GIS odel. The naturalness of stream corridor was was investigated by the naturalness of habitat, and assessed by the descriptors focused on physical structure, therefore the S.N.I. can manifest prescriptions for restoration of the stream corridor. On the other hand because some evaluation factors such as water quality, water volume, fauna, flora, functions of stream exosystem has been excluded, S.N.I. could have some limits on representing the full aspects of stream naturalness. This evaluation method is hypothetical one, so it would be investigated through iterative applicatons.

우리나라는 강우량의 계절적 편기가 심하여 홍수기인 6월부터 9월까지의 년간 총강우량이 2/3을 차지하고 있으며 갈수기의 경우에는 강우량의 부족으로 물 부족현상을 겪고 있다. 이와 같은 현상은 최근 기후변화로 인해 더욱 증가되고 있으며 홍수기에도 국지적인 강우발생이 크게 증가하여 갈수기 가뭄이 더욱 심화되고 있다. 이와 같이 갈수시 가뭄에 대한 대책을 세우기 위해서는 하천에 유입되는 물과 하천 내에서 시간에 따라 유하되거나 조절되는 등 하천 자체 내에서 변화하는 하천유량의 변화 및 하천 외부로 유출되는 용수수요량을 정확히 분석하는 물수지분석이 필요하다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 송강천을 대상유역으로 선정하고 DEM을 통해 3개의 단위유역을 구분하였다. 단위유역별 생활용수, 공업용수, 농업용수 등에 대한 용수수요량 추정을 통해 유역별 용수수요 총량과 장래 수요증가량을 산정하였다. TANK 모형을 활용하여 단위유역별 기준갈수량을 산정하고 물수지분석을 통해 물 부족 여부를 판단하여 단위유역별 하천유지유량을 산정하였다. 분석결과, 단위유역별 하천으로 유입되는 회귀수량이 많아 목표연도별 갈수시 하천유지유량이 평균갈 수량 보다 크게 분석되었으며, 평균갈수시에도 하천의 정상적인 기능 및 상태를 유지하기 위한 최소한의 유량 확보가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라는 기후변화 등으로 인해 강수량이 홍수기에 집중하고 갈수기에 감소하는 강우 편중현상이 심화되고 있어 유역 환경에 변화가 발생하고 있다. 특히, 농업지역에서 유역 환경 변화에 따른 하천수의 부족은 농배수에 의한 수질오염의 심화와 농업 및 생활용수 확보의 어려움 등의 문제를 발생시키고 이러한 문제들은 상 하류간의 지역갈등을 유발시키는 등 경제적, 환경적, 사회적 손실을 초래한다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 유역 환경 변화에 따른 수질 변화를 분석하고 이에 대한 대응 방안으로 농배수 조정지를 조성하여 농업지역의 용수를 확보하고 수질을 개선하고자 하였다. 합천은 용도지역면적 중 대부분이 농촌지역이며 논 77.4%, 밭 22.6%의 비율로 논의 이용이 밭보다 3배 이상 높아 농배수 조정지를 조성하기에 적합한 지역이라 판단하였다. 따라서 합천지역의 황강유역을 대상지역으로 선정하고 물리적 기반의 준분포형 장기강우유출모형인 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 모형을 모의하였다. 황강유역 내의 HRU(Hydrologic Response Unit)별 수질 변화를 분석하고, 농배수 조정지 조성에 따른 수질 개선 정도를 분석하였다. 또한 농배수 조정지의 HRU별 추가 조성에 따른 낙동강 본류에 합류되는 황강유역 하류의 수질 개선 효과를 분석하였다.

Accurate quantitative evaluation of baseflow contribution to streamflow is imperative to address seasonal drought vulnerability, flood occurrence and groundwater management concerns for efficient and sustainable water resources management in watersheds. Several baseflow separation algorithms using recursive filters, graphical method and tracer or chemical balance have been developed but resulting baseflow outputs always show wide variations, thereby making it hard to determine best separation technique. Therefore, the current global shift towards implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in water resources is employed to compare the performance of deep learning models with conventional hydrograph separation techniques to quantify baseflow contribution to streamflow of Piney River watershed, Tennessee from 2001-2021. Streamflow values are obtained from the USGS station 03602500 and modeled to generate values of Baseflow Index (BI) using Web-based Hydrograph Analysis (WHAT) model. Annual and seasonal baseflow outputs from the traditional separation techniques are compared with results of Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) and simple Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) models. The GRU model gave optimal BFI values during the four seasons with average NSE = 0.98, KGE = 0.97, r = 0.89 and future baseflow volumes are predicted. AI offers easier and more accurate approach to groundwater management and surface runoff modeling to create effective water policy frameworks for disaster management.

This study was carried out in order to evaluate where the soil loss was mainly occurred, .and to verify how riverbed sediments in the tributaries of the Seomjin River were related to their source rocks distributed in Sunchang area. The study area including the Seomjin River with 4 tributaries of Kyeongcheon, Okgwacheon, Changjeong-cheon and Ipcheon was divided into 10 watershed. The RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) was estimated for all the grids (10 m cells) in the corresponding watershed. The amount of soil loss per unit area was calculated as follows: dry fold (53,140.94 tons/ha/year), orchard (25,063.38 tons/ha/year), paddy field (6,506.7 tons/ha/year) and Idlest (6,074.36 tons/ha/year). The differences of soil loss per unit area appear to be depends on areas described earlier. Soil erosion hazard zones were generally distributed within dry fields. Several thematic maps such as land use maps, topographical maps and soil maps were used as a data to generate the RUSLE factors. The amount of soil loss, computed by using the RUSLE, showed that soil loss mainly occurred at the regions where possible source rocks were distributed along the stream. Based on the this study on soil loss and soil erosion hazard zone together with chondrite-normalized REE patterns that were previously analyzed in same study area, a closed relationship between riverbed sediments and possible source rocks is formed. Especially in the Okgwacheon that are widely distributed by various rocks, chondrite-normalized REE pattern derived from the riverbed sediments, source rock and soil is expected to have a closed relationship with the distribution of soil loss.

The aim of this study is to identify the spatial foundation units required to execute a rural village landscape plan. Though there have been various previous studies on spatial foundation units for rural space and landscape elements, they are limited in clarifying the landscape identity of a rural village unit in creating a feasible a rural village landscape plan. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the natural spatial features of a rural village and then establish a landscape identity for each space by exploring the landscape elements for each rural village unit set as the basic unit. Accordingly, the basic spatial unit was analyzed through a 1:5000 scale mapping by applying geomancy theory to the spatial landscape unit in a naturally generated rural village. The spatial limitations for a rural village landscape were set based on the analysis. Afterwards, a field study on the feasibility of whether or not setting a space as the basic unit for landscape could have a sense of identity as a single landscape unit for verification was processed, and the spatial limitations for the landscape were adjusted. Moreover, landscape elements were investigated by classifying landscape resources based on rural amenity resources which have been diversely researched in terms of the set spatial boundaries, and the sense of identity for each landscape foundation unit was looked into. While the numerous preceding studies focused on exploring the rural landscape value and findingout the sense of identity on landscape elements, it is high time for feasible and applicable studies in conducting region-specific landscape plans. In particular, similar outcomes from all landscape plans, even those with the same purpose established in various regions, is not a desirable outcome. Therefore, a basic framework is needed to discover the landscape identity generated by each plan in a rural area space. In this sense, this study is significant in that itcan be utilized to establish spatial identity of each region and landscape features of each rural village, and come up with realistic alternatives in landscape plans for each region by exploring the landscape identity in each specific space divided per watershed in a single zone.

"Curve number" (CN) indicates the runoff potential of an area. The US Soil Conservation Service (SCS)'s CN method is a simple, widely used, and efficient method for estimating the runoff from a rainfall event in a particular area, especially in ungauged basins. The use of soil maps requested from end-users was dominant up to about 80% of total use for estimating CN based rainfall-runoff. This study introduce the use of soil maps with respect to hydrologic and watershed management focused on hydrologic soil group and a case study resulted in assessing effective rainfall and runoff hydrograph based on SCS-CN method in a small watershed. The ratio of distribution areas for hydrologic soil group based on detailed soil map (1:25,000) of Korea were 42.2% (A), 29.4% (B), 18.5% (C), and 9.9% (D) for HSG 1995, and 35.1% (A), 15.7% (B), 5.5% (C), and 43.7% (D) for HSG 2006, respectively. The ratio of D group in HSG 2006 accounted for 43.7% of the total and 34.1% reclassified from A, B, and C groups of HSG 1995. Similarity between HSG 1995 and 2006 was about 55%. Our study area was located in Sosu-myeon, Goesan-gun including an approx. 44 $km^2$-catchment, Chungchungbuk-do. We used a digital elevation model (DEM) to delineate the catchments. The soils were classified into 4 hydrologic soil groups on the basis of measured infiltration rate and a model of the representative soils of the study area reported by Jung et al. 2006. Digital soil maps (1:5,000) were used for classifying hydrologic soil groups on the basis of soil series unit. Using high resolution satellite images, we delineated the boundary of each field or other parcel on computer screen, then surveyed the land use and cover in each. We calculated CN for each and used those data and a land use and cover map and a hydrologic soil map to estimate runoff. CN values, which are ranged from 0 (no runoff) to 100 (all precipitation runs off), of the catchment were 73 by HSG 1995 and 79 by HSG 2006, respectively. Each runoff response, peak runoff and time-to-peak, was examined using the SCS triangular synthetic unit hydrograph, and the results of HSG 2006 showed better agreement with the field observed data than those with use of HSG 1995.

The objective of this paper is to estimate the pollutant load based on event mear concentrations(EMC) in industrial complex. Eight sub-basins in the Chongju industrial complex were selected for sampling and study with different characteristics during the period from June 1997 to August 1998. During the storm events, measured EMC ranges of $BOD_5$, COD, SS, TKN, TP, HEM, $NO_3-N$, $PO_4-P$, Cr, Pb, Cu and Fe in the industrial complex watersheds were 11~176mg/L, 40~502mg/L, 23~633mg/L, 104~20.9mg/L, 0.22~7.51mg/L, 12.7~548.7mg/L, 0.06~2.66mg/L, 0.12~3.39mg/L, 0.01~0.50mg/L. 0.02~0.42mg/L, 0.01~0.15mg/L and 1.29~11.51mg/L respectively. And the calculated annual average pollutant unit loadings of $BOD_5$ COD, SS, TKN, $NO_3-N$, $PO_4-P$, TP, HEM, Cr, Pb, Cu and Fe were 374.4kg/ha/yr 924.1kg/ha/yr, 983.6kg/ha/yr, 48.8kg/ha/yr, 8.1kg/ha/yr, 9.7kg/ha/yr, 17.8kg/ha/yr 943.0kg/ha/yr, 0.7kg/ha/yr, 0.9kg/ha/yr, 0.3kg/ha/yr and 28.9kg/ha/yr, respectively.

The purpose of this study at water quality pollutants to propose proper management method for the Osu-A unit watershed which is the influent tributary located upstream of the Sumjin -river among the 13 unit watersheds in the Sumjin-river water system. Analyzed the correlation between flow-pollution loading and the correlation between land use type, BOD and TP items, and analyzed 8-day intervals Cumulative Flow Duration Curve (CFDC) and Load Duration Curve (LDC) to evaluate water quality damage. As a result, both BOD and TP were larger than 1 and the concentration of water pollutants increased with increasing flow. BOD was positively correlated with Urban and Field, and TP was positively correlated with Field with 0.710. As a result of the LDC, BOD was analyzed that the target water quality was achieved with the excess rate of less than 50%, and TP exceeded the target water quality by 50.1%. BOD usually exceeded the standard value (exceedance probability 50%) at low flow zone and On the other hand, TP usually exceeded the standard value at high flow zone. Monthly BOD (April to June) and TP (May to August) exceeded the standard. Sewage Wastewater treatment and non-point pollution control is Osu-A unit watersheds are effective in improving BOD and TP.

Whereas recent researches have elucidated the positive ecological roles of large wood (LW) in fishbearing channels, LW is also recognized as a negative factor of log-laden debris flows and floods in densely populated areas. However in Republic of Korea, no study has investigated longitudinal variations of LW distribution and dynamic along the stream corridor. Hence to elucidate 1) physical factors controlling longitudinal distribution of LW and 2) their effect on variation in LW load amount, we surveyed the amount of LW with respect to channel morphology in a mountain stream, originated from Mt. Ki-ryong in Inje, Gangwondo. Model selection in the Generalized Linear Model procedure revealed that number of boulder (greater than or equal to 1.0 m in diameter), bankfull channel width and their interaction were the best predictors explaining LW load volume per unit channel segment area (unit LW load). In general, boulders scattered within small mountain streams influence LW retention as flow obstructions. However, in this study, we found that the effect of the boulders vary with the channel width; that is, whereas the unit LW load in the segment with narrow channel width increased continuously with increasing boulder number, it in the segment with wide channel width did not depend on the boulder number. This should be because that, in two channels having different widths, the rates of channel widths reduced by boulders are different although boulder numbers are same. Our findings on LW load varying with physical factors (i.e., interaction of boulder number and channel width) along the stream corridor suggest understanding for longitudinal continuum of hydrogeomorphic and ecologic characteristics in stream environments, and these should be carefully applied into the erosion control works for systematic watershed management and subsequent disaster prevention.
