The data of the agricultural water quality survey network was analyzed between from 1990 to 2010 in order to propose effective plans for water quality management by analyzing the characteristics of agricultural lakes and the change of water quality. The result of the analysis shows that there is a correlation between water quality and items that can be a function of water depth such as dam height, dam length, dam height/dam length ratio and active storage/surface area of lake ratio. This means that, Korean agricultural lakes, there is a correlation between water quality and water depth. Water quality of the lakes that have lower than 5m of active storage/surface area of lake ratio (effective water depth) especially tends to get worse rapidly. The Chl-a and COD concentration of Korean agricultural lakes have a tendency to increase between June and September. Therefore, we recommend first taking a water quality improvement project for the lakes preformed watershed management project, and taking a preventive short-term water quality improvement project for the unperformed lakes before June among lakes that have lower than 5m of effective water depth.

Yochon reservoir was consturcted with an original storage capacity of 202.7 chung-meters. This reservoir receives the water from watershed area of 933.0 chungbo and has irrigated area of 478.0 chungbo. In 1967 a detailed capacity survey of this reservoir was carried out by a new depth-recorder under the scheme of reservoir sedimentation of Agricultural Engineering Research Center. Significant findings are 1. The capacity of the reservoir for the water storage has been reduced by 8.9%(18.066 chung-meters out of the 202.7 chung-meters) since its construction, a period of just 39.0 years. 2. The sediment accumulation in the reservoir represents an average annual soil loss of 0.496mm depth(0.463 chung-meters) of soil from the watershed area of 933.0 chungbo. Eventually the capacity of the reservoir for the water storage will be reducing by about 25%(50.7 chung-meters out of the 202.7 chung-meters)in one hundred years since its construction. We have to set up controlling projects for those reservoir protections from the sediment, soil loss, and other failures. The depth recorder is very useful, convenient, and accurate machine for surveys of reservoir capacity and other river surveys.

Fourteen reservoirs maintained by the local land improvement associations in the province of Chullabuk-Do and 20 reservoirs maintained by those in the province of Chullanam-Do, were surveyed in connection with a correction between storage capacity and sediment deposit. In addition to this survey, 3347 of small scale reservoirs, that lie scattered around in the above mentioned two provinces were investigated by using existing records pertaining to storage capacity in the office of City and Country, respectively. According to this inrestigation. the following conclusions are derived. 1. A sediment deposition rate is high, being about 10.63m$^3$/ha of drainage area, and resulting in the average decrease of storage capacity by 27.5%. This high rate of deposition could be mainly attributed to the severe denudation of forests due to disorderly cuttings of trees. Especially, in small scale reservoirs, an original average design storage depth of 197mm in irrigation water depth is decreased to about 140mm. 2. An average unit storage depth of 325.6mm as the time of initial construction is decreased to 226mm at present. This phenomena causes a greater shortage of gation water, since it was assumed that original storage quantity itself was already in short.

The hydrologic behavior of paddy field depends largely on the irrigation and levee height management by farmers. The storage and drainage amount of paddy for storm events certainly influences the stream discharge. To understand the paddy storage effect during storm periods, a daily paddy water balance model embedding farmer's water management was developed by using 4 years (1996, 1997, 2001, 2002) field experimental data at 2 locations (Suwon and Yeoju) From the modeling, it was possible to simulate the daily ponding depth of paddy by treating paddy levee height and threshold pending depth indicating irrigation time as 10 days average parameters of the model. The storage amount(306.9 mm to 343.6 mm) showed little deviation to rainfall amount(425.1 mm to 850.8 mm).

This study developed the procedure and method for the accuracy assessment of unmanned boat survey data, based on the reservoir water depth data of Misan Reservoir, measured by the manned and unmanned boats in 2009 by Korea Rural Community Corporation. In the first step, this study devised the method to extract the contour map of NGIS data in AutoCAD to generate easily the reservoir boundary map used to set the survey range of reservoir water depth and to test the survey accuracy. The surveyed data coordinate systems of the manned and the unmanned boat were also unified by using ArcGIS for the standards of accuracy assessment. In the accuracy assessment, the spatial correlation coefficient of the grid maps of the two measurement results was 0.95, showing high pattern similarity, although the average error was high at 78cm. To analyze in more detail assessment, this study generated randomly the 3,250m transverse profile route (PR), and then extracted grid values of water depth on the PR. In the results of analysis to the extracted depth data on PR, the error average difference of the unmanned boat measurements was 73.18cm and the standard deviation of the error was 55cm compared to the manned boat. This study set these values as the standard for the correction value by average shift and noise removal of the unmanned boat measurement data. By correcting the unmanned boat measurements with these values, this study has high accuracy results, the reservoir water depth and surface area curve with R² = 0.97 and the water depth and storage volume curve with R² = 0.999.

This study was carried out to get the basic data for obtaining water resources continuously. Water storage of forest land was estimated by effective water storage based on classifying soil pore. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. Percentage of coarse pores were in the order : Forest>Bare land>Grasses. As soil depth increased, total pores, coarse pores, and maximum water content were decreased, while fine pores increased. 2. Soil pore percentage and physical properties of surface layer(0~20cm) were significantly different among forest floor conditions. However, there were no difference in soil pore percentage and physical properties in 20~40cm and 40~60cm according to forest floor conditions. In the same plot, on the other hand, soil pore percentage and physical properties were significantly different between surface layer(0~20cm) and 20~40cm, but there were no differences between 20~40cm and 40~60cm. 3. Effective water storage was highly correlated with coarse pore in all plots. 4. The model for water storage capacity of each forest floor condition expressed by effective water storage was produced using coarse pores and soil depth.

A rainwater utilization facility consists of its catchment area, treatment facility, storage tank, supply facility and pipes in general. The rainwater storage tank which occupies the largest area of the facility has been usually considered quantitatively for determining the storage capacity. Hence, there is little information on water quality improvement by sedimentation in a rainwater storage tank in operation. In this study, we measured the rainwater quality in a rainwater storage tank in operation during late spring and summer, and showed water quality improvement of turbidity removal of 25~46% by sedimentation in a rainwater storage tank under a fixed water level without inflow and outflow after runoff ceased. It is necessary to have a considerable distance between the inlet and outlet of the tank and, if possible, it is recommended that the design should allow for an effective water depth of over 3 m and supply rainwater near the water surface. The operation method which increases the retention time by stopping rainwater supply for insuring low turbidity is recommended when the turbidity of rainwater runoff is high. And also more efficient operation and maintenance of the rainwater utilization facility is expected through the tailored design and operation of the facility considering particle removal and behavior.

The parameters of each basin, required for the accurate analysis of flood runoff using Storage Function Model, are estimated. Prior to the estimation, sensitivity analysis and extraction of new regional topographic factors for Han River basin are conducted. Based on the result, the outflow constant of basin model is calculated through regression analysis in relation with pre-flood runoff depth. The storage constant of basin model is derived by the optimum storage constant equation, according to the flood event of each basin. The model using the mentioned parameters was compared with K-Water model of Korea Water Resources Corporation and the model of Han River Flood Control Office, and proved to correspond to the observed hydrograph more.

This study collected the latest 30-year (1976~2005) continuous rainfall data hourly recorded at 61 meterological observatories in Korea, and the continuous rainfall data was divided into individual rainfall events. In addition, distribution charts of average rainfall event-depth were created to facilitate the application to the overflow risk-based design of detention storage basin. This study shows that 4 hour is appropriate for SST (storm separation time) to separate individual rainfall events from the continuous rainfall data, and the one-parameter exponential distribution is suitable for the frequency distribution of rainfall event depths for the domestic rainfall data. The analysis of the domestic rainfall data using SST of 4 hour showed that the individual rainfall event was 1380 to 2031 times, the average rainfall event-depth was 19.1 to 32.4mm, and ranged between 0.877 and 0.926. Distribution charts of average rainfall event-depth were created for 4hour and 6 hour of SST, respectively. The inland Gyeongsangbuk-do, Western coastal area and inland of Jeollabuk-do had relatively lower average rainfall event-depth, whereas Southern coastal area, such as Namhae, Yeosu, and Jeju-do had relatively higher average rainfall event-depth.
