Saline groundwater, in addition to fresh groundwater, is actively developed for inland aqua culture in Jeju Island where groundwater is practically the only source of freshwater. In this work we analyzed impacts of saline and fresh groundwater development on groundwater systems in Sungsan subwatershed in Jeju. A sharp-interface model was used to simulate fresh and saline groundwater flows. Withdrawal of freshwater imparted adverse impacts by lowering groundwater level and inducing saltwater encroachment. Withdrawal of saline water imparted mixed results: on one hand it lowered groundwater level, on the other hand it reduced saltwater encroachments. However, freshwater development lowered groundwater level much more than salinewater development did. Modified Ghyben-Herzberg ratio was developed for a transition zone with finite width. Comparison against observed data resulted in fair agreement.

The purpose of this study were to evaluate the effect of best management practices (BMPs) of Haean highland agricultural catchment ($62.8km^2$) under future climate change using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool). Before future evaluation, the SWAT was setup using 3 years (2009~2011) of observed daily streamflow, suspended solid (SS), total nitrogen (T-N), and total phosphorus (T-P) data at three locations of the catchment. The SWAT was calibrated with average 0.74 Nash and Sutcliffe model efficiency for streamflow, and 0.78, 0.63, and 0.79 determination coefficient ($R^2$) for SS, T-N, and T-P respectively. Under the HadGEM-RA RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios, the future precipitation and maximum temperature showed maximum increases of 8.3 % and $4.2^{\circ}C$ respectively based on the baseline (1981~2005). The future 2040s and 2080s hydrological components of evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and streamflow showed changes of +3.2~+17.2 %, -0.1~-0.7 %, and -9.1~+8.1 % respectively. The future stream water quality of suspended solid (SS), total nitrogen (T-N), and total phosphorus (T-P) showed changes of -5.8~+29.0 %, -4.5~+2.3 %, and +3.7~+17.4 % respectively. The future SS showed wide range according to streamflow from minus to plus range. We can infer that this was from the increase of long-term rainfall variability in 2040s less rainfalls and 2080s much rainfalls. However, the results showed that the T-P was the future target to manage stream water quality even in 2040s period.

We analyzed flood runoff and flood characteristics of an small urban river basin which is in an apartment complex in Yewol-Dong, Buchun-Si, Gyunggi-Do. This discharge normally flows a little by intercepting sewer and interception of pollutants. However in flood period it looks like risk of flood damage by high flood discharge and increase of flood elevation. After appling the analysis model on urban runoff, using the GIS data and cross section at the basin, and then we studied the degree of flood control safety at the basin through forecasting flood elevation. Eventually, there are the flood risks from the River structure for Multi-functional Urban river as well as the river safety. As flood runoff analysis in urban, we need to consider risks which are drainage depth and other.

This study was performed to evaluate effects of physical characteristics of both watershed and reservoir on nutrient-chlorophyll relationship in Korean reservoirs. Simple linear models were developed with published data in Korea including 415 reservoirs and 11 multi-purpose dams, and physico-chemical parameters of reservoirs and characteristics relationship of models were analyzed. Theoretical residence time in Korean reservoirs was strongly correlated with the ratio of TA/ST (drainage area + surface area / storage volume) in the logarithmic function. As a result of monthly nutrients-chlorophyll-a regression analysis, significant Chl-a-TP relationship appeared during May～July. The high Chl-a yields per total phosphorus appeared during this time (R$\^$2/=0.51, p<0.001, N= 1088). Chlorophyll-a demonstrated much stronger relationship with TP. than TN. Seasonal algal-nutrient coupling were closely related with N:P ratio in the reservoir water, and it was, in turn, dependent on the monsoon climatic condition (precipitation). Based on the results of regression analysis and high N:P ratio, a major limiting factor of algal growth appeared to be phosphorus during this time. Unlikely TA/ST ratio, DA/SA ratio (drainage area f surface area) was likely to influence directly on the nutrient-Chl-a relationship, indicating that if storage volume and inflowing water volume were the same, algal biomass could be developed more in reservoirs with large surface area. Thus, DA/SA ratio seemed to be an important factor to affect the development of algal biomass in Korean reservoirs. With low determination coefficient of TP-Chl-a relationship, our findings indicated not only nutrient (phosphorus) but also other physical factors, such as DA/SA ratio, may affect algal biomass development in Korean reservoirs, where actual residence time appears to be more closely related to reservoir surface area rather than storage volume.

The goal of this study was to evaluate sediment reduction effects of VFS (vegetative filter strip) applied for Iksan area in Saemangeum watershed. This study simulated runoff and sediment load from different types of uplands using VFSMOD-W. The general upland characteristics of the study area was investigated to build reasonable scenarios of the simulation. The simulation scenarios were designed by various areas, shapes, and slopes of uplands. Grass mixture was selected as VFS vegetation and the size of VFS was fixed as 10 % of uplands area. Additionally 50mm, 100mm, 150mm of daily rainfall were applied for the runoff and sediment simulation. As results, the calculated runoff and sediment loads were obtained $20.7{\sim}1,030.6m^3$ and 568.4~675,731.4 kg for the range of 0.1~1.0 ha of uplands with 7 % and 15 % slopes. The reduction effects on runoff and sediment were obtained 5~10 % and 21.0~47.7 % respectively from VFS applications. The VFSMOD-W simulations showed that runoff tended to increase as upland area and amount of rainfall increased while sediment increased when slope, length and area of uplands and amount of rainfall increased. These results indicated that rainfall amount and upland size are the critical factors for the generation of runoff and sediment load. In order to support this conclusion, further studies such as, long term monitoring, field experiments, and to calibrate and evaluate the model are necessary.

Ecological restoration aims to reverse the degradation of ecosystems that occurred as humans have affected landscapes. This study was conducted in part of a larger project to develop participatory ecological restoration procedures for disturbed areas in Baigdoodaegahn which is a major mountain range in the Korean Peninsula. The case of alpine farmland at Kangwon-do was selected to apply the theoretical framework of participatory restoration since the nutrient contents in alpine solid under vegetable cultivation degrade water quality in the watershed while farmers in the region are economically struggling due to imports of vegetables from China. The reciprocal model of restoration was applied to cope with interactions between human and ecosystem needs in ecological restoration. A series of environmental education and eco-tourism programs were developed and incorporated into the participatory restoration project to rebuild social-cultural aspects of the community as well as to restore the biophysically disturbed area while meeting both ecological needs and human needs. This study suggests that participatory projects will be more successful when experts support the local residents and citizens in restoration process, when leadership are developed through social learning, and when ecological, financial and social factors of restoration are integratedly considered.

The subject research attempts to evaluate the variations of total runoff volume, peak flow, and travel time depending on the urbanhization, return periods and rainfall patterns under the situations that the preparation of a large residential site at the lowland areas of the downstream of Dongsu stream in Bupyung-Gu, Incheon city is progressed and the area will be eventually fully developed. The ILLUDAS model was used for the runoff analyses based on 3 differend steps of urbanization and 4 different types of Huff's quantile according to rainfall patterns is Huff's 4 quantile, Huff's 2 quantile, Huff's 3 quantile and Huff's 1 quantile. Under the 80 and 90 % of urbanization to the 70% of urbanization, the mean increasing ratio of total runoff volume for each case is 3.5 and 5.5 %, that of peak flow is 4.2 and 8.8%, and the mean decreasing ratio of travel time is 4.4 and 10.1%, respectively. The mean increasing ratio of total runoff volume according to the return periods is 3.0 and 5.4%, that of peak flow is 3.9 and 8.0% under the same conditions of urbanization.

대청호 수질관리를 위한 대책 수립시 상류유역의 유출 및 오염부하배출 특성을 평가하는 것이 중요하다. 유역의 수환경 영향을 평가하기 위해서 복잡한 수문 수질 모델을 이용하는데 사용자 편의성을 고려한 모델 개발과 이용이 필요하다. L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형은 토지이용도, 토양도, 일강우 자료만으로 직접유출의 모의가 가능하여 전 세계적으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형을 이용하여 대청호 상류유역인 안내천, 월외천 유역의 직접유출 및 비점오염 배출부하 특성을 평가하였다. 직접 유출량 평가 결과, 결정계수($R^2$)와 유효지수(EI)가 월외천 유역 및 안내천 유역에서 각각 0.95, 0.93 및 0.81, 0.71로 나타나, L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형이 실측치를 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 강우유출수에 포함된 SS 및 T-P 오염부하량 평가결과, 결정계수($R^2$)가 월외천 유역과 안내천 유역에서 각각 0.53, 0.95 및 0.89, 0.89로 평가되었다. 또한 유효지수(EI)가 월외천 유역과 안내천 유역에서 각각 0.44, 0.95 및 0.98, 0.99로 평가되었다. SS 부하량 평가 결과에서 월외천 유역이 안내천 유역보다 정확성이 낮은 것은 지역특성에 따라 SS 부하량 차이가 크기 때문이다. 따라서 L-THIA ArcView GIS 모형의 지속적인 개선이 이루어진다면 대청호 만입부 상류유역에서의 각종 수질관리대책 평가에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to present the raw data for establishing the plan of top soil conservation in soil environment and preventing the soil loss by establishing the potential amount of soil loss using RUSLE. The results are as follows. To apply the RUSLE model, we calculated the potential amount of soil loss by using 5 factors; rainfall erosion factor(R), topographical factor(LS), soil erosion factor(K), land cover factor(C) and erosion control factor(P). The assessment map of soil loss was drawn up by classifying 5 grades. According to the soil loss estimation by the RUSLE, it showed that approximately 83.9% of the study area had relatively lower possibility of soil loss which was the 1 ton/ha in annual soil loss. Whereas, the 7.0% of the study area was defined as high risk area which was the 10 ton/ha in annual. Therefore, this area was needed that there was environment-friendly construction of farm land, improvement of cultivation environment and so forth. In future, if we will analyze the amount of soil loss of Gyeongju national park and Hyeongsan river watershed, we will offer the help to establishing the conservation plan of soil environment in Gyeongsangbuk-do.

강우현상의 공간적 변동성에 대한 해석은 수자원 계획 및 관리를 위해 중요한 관심사가 되고 있다. 일반적으로 우리가 얻을 수 있는 강우자료는 한 지점에 설치되어 있는 우량계에 의한 관측된 지점강우량자료이다. 기존의 집중형 수문모형이 유출과정의 공간적인 분포 및 변화를 유역단위로 평균화해서 취급하는 개념기반의 모형임에 반해서 분포형 수문모형은 유역을 수문학적으로 균일한 매개변수를 갖는 소유역 또는 격자망으로 구분하여 적용하는 것으로, 도시화 등 토지이용의 변화나 기타 유역내의 물리적인 특성의 변화가 수문과정에 미치는 영향을 잘 모의할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Vflo$^{TM}$ 분포형 강우-유출 모형과 IDW, Ordinary Kriging, Thiessen 등의 강우 분포 기법을 이용하여 낙동강 제 1지류인 금호강의 동촌 수위관측소 유역($1,544km^2$)을 출구로 하여 강우-유출모의를 하였다. 이를 위하여 강우-유출에 영향을 주는 매개변수를 선정하고 동촌 수위관측소의 실측 유량자료를 바탕으로 하여 IDW, Kriging, Thiessen 등의 면적강우량 산정방법별로 모형의 보정(2007, 2009) 및 검증(2010)을 실시하였다. 모의 된 유출량과 실측유량의 상관성은 결정계수 $R^2$에서 IDW 과 Kriging의 경우 0.95 ~ 0.99의 상관성을 나타냈으며 Thiessen 의 경우 0.94 ~ 0.99의 값을 나타냈다. Nash-Sutcliffe 모형효율은 IDW의 경우 0.95 ~ 0.98, Kriging의 경우 0.94 ~ 0.99를 나타냈으며 Thiessen의 경우는 0.90 ~ 0.98의 모형효율을 나타내었다. 이때 포화투수계수와 조도계수가 전체 유량과 첨두시간에 영향을 주었다. 호우사상을 선정하여 검보정을 실시 한 결과, 유역의 유출 모의를 수행하였을 때 선행강우량에 따라서 토양의 침투능에 영향을 많이 주고 있기 때문에, 선행 토양함수조건(Antecedent Moisture Condition: AMC)으로 분류한 뒤에 AMC 조건에 따라서 유출-모의를 수행하는 것이 타당하다고 판단된다.
