The objective of this study was to evaluate the stream depletion from groundwater pumping in deep aquifer using the Ward and Lough's analytical solution (2011) which considers a two-layer leaky aquifer system. The calculated results for each pumping from the 110 wells beside streams showed a wide range of non-dimensional stream depletion, that is the streamflow depletion rate divided by the groundwater pumping rate, from lower than 0.1 to more than 0.9 on average for 5 years depending on the specific properties of well location. From the comparison with Hunt's solution (1999) of a single layer aquifer, the Ward and Lough's solution showed about 50% lower than the Hunt's solution due to the difference of hydraulic properties between the first and second layers as well as the lagged effect of vertical leakance. It was also found that the groundwater pumping has a minor effect on the stream depletion if the stream depletion factor (SDF) of the 1st layer is higher than about 1,000 or the SDF of the 2nd layer is higher than about 100, or the vertical leakance is smaller than $10^{-5}s^{-1}$. Furthermore, in the present study, the variations of the stream depletion were assessed according to the magnitude of unmeasured hydraulic properties such as transmissivity and storage coefficient of the 1st layer, vertical hydraulic conductivity of the 2nd layer, the streambed hydraulic conductance.

In this study, Hunt's analytical solution and Ward & Lough's analytical solution for two-layered leaky aquifer system were used to estimate stream depletions due to shallow and deep groundwater pumping, and their differences were compared. Depending on the combination of the separation distance between the stream and the well, the transmissivity and the storage coefficient of the aquifer, and the leakage coefficient between the upper and lower layers, the stream depletion, which is the amount of stream water reduction compared to the amount of groundwater pumping, for each of 45,000 cases was calculated for both shallow and deep groundwater pumping, and the differences were analyzed quantitatively. When the leakage coefficient was very small, with a value of 10^-61/d, the difference in the average five-year stream depletion due to the pumping of shallow and deep groundwater showed a large deviation of up to 0.9 depending on the given hydraulic characteristics; this value exponentially decreased as the stream depletion factor (SDF) increased. This exponential relationship gradually weakened as the leakage coefficient increased due to interaction effects between layers, resulting in a small difference of up to 0.2 when the leakage coefficient reached 10^-31/d. Under the condition of greater interlayer hydraulic connectivity, there was little influence of the depth of groundwater pumping on the stream water reduction.

천부대수층-심부대수층-하천-양수정 시스템에 대해 개발된 Ward & Lough 해석해와 국내 시험유역을 대상으로 개발된 양수량 대비 하천수 감소량 산정공식 (한강홍수통제소, 2018)을 광주천인근에 실제로 위치한 지하수 관정에 적용하여 지하수 취수로 인해 하천의 수량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 대상관정은 하천에서 약 67 m 떨어진 공업용수 공급을 위한 지하수개발 이용시설로서 착정심도 100 m, 착정구경 150 mm, 취수계획량 $200m^3$/일, 수중펌프 5 Hp 등의 시설제원을 가진다. 해석해 및 경험공식 적용을 위한 기본 입력자료로 투수량계수, 저류계수 등의 수리상수값은 해당 관정의 지하수개발 이용 영향조사서에서 발췌하였고, 측정되지 않은 일부 입력값은 문헌조사를 통해 적절한 값을 가정하여 사용하였다. 하천의 수량에 미치는 지하수 양수 영향을 예측한 결과 지하수 허가기간 5년동안 취수계획량의 약 80 %를 넘는 하천수 감소율이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구 대상관정과 같이 하천에 매우 근접한 지역에서 지하수를 이용할 경우 하천수 취수에 준하는 영향을 보일 수 있기 때문에 수자원의 효율적인 이용을 위해서는 하천수와 하천 인근 지하수의 통합적 관리가 필요할 것이다.
