Water management information system used by KRC(Korea Rural Community Corporation) operates widely including RIMS, RAWRIS and etc. Other systems are operated by each government department, for example, K-water(Korea Water Resources Corporation)'s WAMIS. Even though small scale reservoirs managed by city/country is just about 12% of total water resource, the reservoirs are important for controlling and securing water resource as the reservoirs, including about 14,700 reservoirs nationwide, are located at main subwater shed. So, it is necessary for KRC to execute integrated informatization. In this research, system analysis was performed to comprise the integrated water management information system including the reservoirs controlled by city and country at first. And then, improvement plan for informatization of the reservoirs controlled by city and country was proposed. This study proposed the improvement plan for informatization of the reservoirs managed by the city and country, which was systematically proposed through systemic analysis including from reservoir site to the integrated water management information system. The objects includes 1. Reservoir (basin, facilities, water depth-area curve, benefiter area), 2. Field supervision organization for the reservoir 3. Local government administrative organization, 4. Center organization 5. Network for information transfer, 6. integrated water management information system. As the reservoirs controlled by city and country are important considering managing water and facilities, operated by local government with minimum budget due to budget problem, securing sufficient budget is necessary to form an specialized organization controlling facilities and the water management system in terms of drought and flood control.

지금까지 우리나라에서는 60년대 이후 5차례의 수자원계획이 수립되었으나, 그동안 시민단체 등을 중심으로 장래 물 수요 추정과 물 부족량 등에 대해 꾸준한 문제제기가 있어왔다. 이러한 문제제기는 물 수요량 및 물 부족량 산출과정에 대한 불신으로부터 나타난 결과라고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 문제들은 수자원 계획 수립과정에서 대중과 이해관계자들의 참여를 보장함으로써 해결될 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 이러한 과정을 지원할 수 있는 적절한 계획 수립 도구가 선택되어야 한다. K-WEAP은 장기적인 수자원 계획에 적합한 모형으로 수자원 수급 네트워크를 기반으로 선형계획법(Linear Programming)을 이용하여 하도 물 수지를 수행하며, 통합적이고 종합적인 계획 수립 구조와 뛰어난 시나리오 분석 기능을 제공한다. 또한 용수수요와 공급관련 정보들을 관리할 수 있는 데이터베이스로서의 역할을 수행할 수 있어 계획 수립 과정에서 이용된 자료에 대한 공유가 가능하다는 장점이 있는 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 특성을 갖는 수자원 계획 수립도구인 K-WEAP 모형이 국가 수자원 계획을 수립하는 과정에서 어떻게 적용되고 있는 지를 알아보고, 우리나라 4대강 권역에 대한 물 수지 네트워크를 K-WEAP을 이용하여 구축하였으며, 과거 수자원 계획 수립에서 이용된 방법들과의 비교 검토를 수행하였다.

지금까지의 수자원계획평가는 유역별 권역별로 이루어져 왔다. 다시 말해 지역적인 수자원계획평가는 제대로 이루어지지 않았다고 할 수 있다. 한 지역의 수자원계획평가를 하기 위해서는 그 지역의 물이용 순환시스템을 분석해야 하며, 이를 통해 유역의 기본 자료를 제공할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 순환구조 및 현황 문제점 파악, 시스템 개선 등을 수행할 수 있다. 하지만 국내에서는 아직까지 종합적으로 물순환 및 물이용에 대해 제시된 연구결과는 거의 없으며, 각 순환요소에 대한 개별적인 연구가 수행된 경우가 있다. 도시용수의 순환시스템의 경우 전체적인 순환시스템에 대한 연구보다는 주거형태에 따른 회귀율의 산정과 같은 특정 분야에 대한 연구결과가 제시된 경우가 있으며, 농업용수에 대해서도 회귀율의 추정과 같은 연구가 제시되어 있는 정도로 관련 연구의 수행이 매우 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 서산 지역의 물이용 순환시스템을 조사하여 분석함으로써 기 수립된 서산 지역의 장래 계획들의 타당성을 검증하고, 이에 대한 대책 및 문제점을 제시하고자 하며 장래에 일어날 수 있는 수량 및 수질 변화에 대한 상황들을 시나리오로 개발하여 분석함으로써 장래에 대한 수량, 수질을 연계한 수자원계획을 수립하고자 한다. 또한, 서산 지역의 대표적인 수원인 보령댐의 댐운영 및 가뭄 모니터링에 이용할 수 있도록 보령댐에 대한 가뭄지수(물공급능력지수, 표준물공급능력지수)를 분석하여 제시하고자 한다.

Numerous water disasters have recently occurred all over the world, including South Korea, due to global climate change in recent years. As water-related disasters occur extensively and their sites are difficult for people to access, it is necessary to monitor them using satellites. The Ministry of Environment and K-water plan to launch the next-generation medium satellite No. 5 (water resource/water disaster satellite) equipped with C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) in 2025. C-band SAR has the advantage of being able to observe water resources twice a day at a high resolution both day and night, regardless of weather conditions. Currently, RADARSAT-2 and Sentinel-1 equipped with C-band SAR achieve the purpose of their launch and are used in various environmental fields such as forest structure detection and coastline change monitoring, as well as for unique purposes including the detection of flooding, drought and soil moisture change, utilizing the advantages of SAR. As such, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics of the next-generation medium satellite No. 5 and its application in environmental fields. Our findings showed that it can be used to improve the degree of precision of existing environmental spatial information such as the classification accuracy of land cover map in environmental field works. It also enables us to observe forests and water resources in North Korea that are difficult to access geographically. It is ultimately expected that this will enable the monitoring of the whole Korean Peninsula in various environmental fields, and help in relevant responses and policy supports.

For comprehensively assessment the water resources performance of multi-purpose dams and water supply dams in South Korea, a methodology was proposed to utilize the durational reliability along with the integrated auxiliary indicators including resiliency, dimensionless vulnerability, water resource efficiency, specific inflow, and specific water supply. In addition, for the purpose of sustainable dam operation in the future, a plan to grade the water resources performance was presented to periodically evaluate the performance and determine the priority of each dam's structural or non-structural planning according to the evaluation results. As major results, in the case of Sumjingang Dam, the durational reliability was 99.0%, but the integrated auxiliary index was the lowest of 44 points, which was 5th grade. This means that despite the current high reliability, hydrological changes due to future climate change or regional change of water demand-supply balance can have significant impacts on the water resources performances. In contrast, the Chungju Dam with a durational reliability of 93.0%, which is below the average among all multi-purpose dams, shows the 76 points of the integrated auxiliary index, which is 3^rd highest following the Soyanggang Dam and the Namgang Dam. Nevertheless, due to the size of the basin, the specific inflow is sufficiently high as 185%, so the actual performance could be evaluated relatively high. The water supply dams designed for a single purpose tend to be evaluated relatively high because they have a high proportion of industrial and municipal water supply and have enough room for the supply capacity.

Many studies conducted in Kenya regarding water resource governance have focused on the mandate of Water Resource Users Associations (WRUAs) with less attention being accorded to their effectiveness in conservation of wetlands. This study assessed the effectiveness of WRUA committees, and challenges faced in conservation of Rwamuthambi Sub-catchment. The study employed exploratory descriptive research design. Data was collected through questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observations and review of secondary data. Chi square and descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data. The survey results revealed that only 15% of WRUA committee understood water resources management while 35% were aware of relevant legislations. Factors of wetland degradation showed significant association with existence of WRUA (χ2 (4, N=180) = 20.46, p< .01) where (χ2- chi square (degrees of freedom, N = sample size) = chi-square statistic value, p = p value), although WRUA contributions were perceived differently per agro-ecological zone (χ2 (8, N=147) = 15.51, p>.05). Challenges unearthed were inadequate financial and human resources, lack of understanding, ineffective collaborative governance, poor support from county government and private ownership of riparian land reserve. There is need for WRUAs to embrace collaborative governance for effective conservation of wetlands. Integration of sub catchment management plan with county land use plans and policy review is also required.

Recently, the demand of water resources is constantly increasing due to the substantial increase of population, economy, and living standard. However, it is expected that the water resources should undergo serious problems of poor quality of water as well as shortage of water supply in the near future. Additionally, thoughtless groundwater development have caused to dry river and stream. In this study, the effectiveness of dry stream protection plan is evaluated by using 3-D groundwater flow modeling for the study area which is located in Namyangju of Kyoungi Province. Aquifer tests are performed to obtain the input data of the model. To analyze causes of dry stream using modeling results that water balance is analyzed for situations of before and after closing the wells.

The need for economical and accurate presentations of equivalent radar reflectivity( $Z_e$) data in an orthogonal coordinate system has existed for some time. So, in this study, a fast and efficient procedure has been developed which allows the systematic interpolation of digital reflectivity data from radar space into Cartesian space. At first, QC(Quality Control) of radar data has been executed for extracting uncontaminated Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator(CAPPI) data. The algorithm is designed so that only one ordered pass through the original Plan Position Indicator(PPI) scan data is necessary to complete the interpolation process. The model can calculate various resolution and altitude reflectivity data for many kinds of hydrological usage.
