In this study, flow duration analysis was conducted at the Gumbo stage gauging station due to construction of the Youngchun dam. The flow duration characteristics were $10.49\;m^3/s$ of drought flow, $13.30\;m^3/s$. of low flow, $15.65\;m^3/s$ of normal flow, and $25.00\;m^3/s$ abundant flow before construction of Youngchun dam. But after construction of Youngchun dam, the flow duration characteristics were $2.07\;m^^3/s,\;2.89\;m^3/s,\;4.0\;m^3/s,\;9.36\;m^3/s$ and they had been deteriorated. Applying the Physical Habitat Simulation Model by Instream Flow Incremental Methodology, the Weighted Usable Area(WUA)-Discharge Curve was developed for Zacco Platypus according to the growth stages. Using the WUA-Discharge Curve, the WUA Duration Curve was developed with exceedance probability of daily flow and evaluated fish habitat conditions due to the construction of Youngchun dam. As an evaluation result, the WUA was reduced and fish habitat environment was deteriorated due to the construction of Youngchun dam during the spawning and growth period of Zacco Platypus. However the exceedence probability of the $90\;\%$, irrigation water supply from the Youngchun dam improved flow duration characteristics and Weighted Usable Area as well as fish habitat.

In this study, WUA (Weighted Usable Area) was calculated to determine ecological flow at the confluence of Nakdong River and Gumho River by using River2D. To calibrate River2D, simulation results of River2D were compared with calibrated HEC-RAS simulation results and the optimum parameters were determined. After parameter calibration, WUA of Zacco platypus and Zacco temmincki which are dominant species in Nakdong River was calculated with changing upstream flowrate. From the result, WUA is changed according to flowrate and growth stage. In the flowrate-WUA/A graph, ecological flow can be determined as $33.3m^3/s{\sim}39.96m^3/s$ in Nakdong River and $3.6m^3/s{\sim}4.32m^3/s$ in Gumho River. After dredging for Four major rivers restoration project, WUA of Zacco platypus and Zacco temmincki were calculated by using the ecological flow. The results show that WUA after dredging are decreased when compared with undredged condition. WUA of Common carp is 2~3 times bigger than WUA of Zacco platypus and Zacco temmincki at the dredged condition in Nakdong River.

The objectives of this study were to assess physical habitat suitability of fish species for different life cycle stages and to suggest appropriate ecological stream flows in a Bokha downstream reach. A dominant species of Zacco platypus was selected as the study fish of which three stages of spawning, juvenile and adult in life cycle were considered into assessment. The stream hydraulic environment was calibrated with HEC-RAS before the PHABSIM simulation. The hydraulics of flow velocity and depth were used to estimate Weighted Usable Area (WUA) by multiplying respective habitat suitability indices with stream area. Overall the WUAs tend to be great in gentle slopes with relatively shallow water depth regions. Maximum WUAs, ie, candidate for ecological flow rates were 1 m³/s, 7 m³/s and 8 m³/s for the respective spawning, juvenile and adult stages of Zacco platypus. Since the ecological flow rates for juvenile and adult stages appeared to be is greater than the abundant flow rate (3.67 m³/s) for the study reach, additional water supply may be needed but should be cautious to avoid the spawning period of Apr through May from the stream water management perspective.

Tree in river have environmental functions such as ecosystem preservation and flood control functions that protect the riverbank. On the other hand, excessive tree development can have the negative effect of fixing the sand bar and reducing the cross-sectional area. Nays2D simulation results performing two flow conditions (average dam operation discharge and two-year frequency discharge) and four tree density conditions (current, zero, low, high tree density) used as input data for PHABSIM to calculate WUA (Weighted Usable Area). The results show that riverbed changes occur more significantly in the zero tree density than presence of trees, which could have a positive impact on the biological habitat environment of Zacco platypus.

In this study, WUA (Weighted Usable Area) based on the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) was calculated to determine ecological flow at JeonJu-Cheon by using River2D model. To calibrate River2D, simulation results for low flow conditions of River2D were compared with calibrated HEC-RAS simulation results and the optimum parameters were determined. The results were RMSE (0.18), NSE (0.71) and coefficient of determination (0.78) for velocity and RMSE (0.02), NSE (0.71), coefficient of determination (0.73) for water depth. The result shows that the model successfully simulates the water flows. A selected target fish species to build the habitat suitability index were composed of Zaccoplatypus and Coreoleuciscus splendidus. These species showed the highest occurrences over the past decade in f ish monitoring. Also, The WUA-Discharge curve was calculated with the suitability index in a medium flow conditions. From the result, WUA is changed according to flowrate. In the flowrate-WUA/A graph, ecological flow can be determined at $1.8{\sim}2.0m^3/s$ for Zaccoplatypus $2.0m^3/s$ and Coreoleuciscus splendidus $1.8m^3/s$ at JeonJu-Cheon upstream. When compared with flow-duration analysis, it is demonstrative that simulation results fitted ecological flow considering quantity of available habitat for each fish species.

수생 생태계에서 하천 어류 서식 환경을 보호하고 유지하기 위해서는 어류의 적절한 서식 공간 확보가 선행되어야 하며, 하천정비사업에 따른 준설 시 하상변동으로 및 유속 변화로 인하여 발생하는 다양한 영향을 충분히 검토해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 우선 교각의 설치와 합류부위치로 인해 발생하는 모의 영역 내의 2차원 흐름거동을 RMA-2 모형으로 분석하였다. 또한 어류의 미시서식처를 고려한 최적의 영역에 대한 면적을 산정하였다. 이를 위해서 2차원 물리 서식처 모의 모형인 River2D를 적용하여 가중가용면적-유량 관계 곡선의 도출을 통해서 최적유량 산정시 중요한 지표인 WUA (Weighted Usable Area)의 산정결과를 어종별, 지역별 그리고 정비사업 전후에 대한 비교하였다. 적용구간은 낙동강 살리기 사업의 25공구(칠곡2, 구미 1지구: 약 8.74 km) 전체를 대상으로 하며 그중에서도 지류 합류부인 경암천부근 (제1지역)과 교각부근(제2지역)에서의 분석을 실시하였다. 피라미에 대한 WUA 값 산정결과 하천정비후에 정량적인 개선 효과를 확인하였으나 안정적인 수심 및 유속분포 지역의 개선을 위한 설계검토가 필요하다 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 식생밀도와 흐름에 따른 수치모형(Nays2D) 하상변동 모의 결과를 서식처 적합도 분석 모델(PHABSIM:Phsical Habtiat Suitability Model)의 입력자료로 활용하여, 식생밀도에 따른 하상 지형 변화가 어류 서식처 적합도에 미치는 영향을 검토한다. 금강 부용리 인근 2km를 대상으로 2차원 모형인 Nays2D를 적용하여 흐름(댐 방류량, 2년 빈도 유량, 100년 빈도 유량 등)과 식생밀도(식생미반영, 현재 밀도, 밀도 감소, 밀도 증가 등)에 따른 하상변동 모의를 실시하였고, 모의 결과값(단면 표고, 유속, 수위)을 물리적 서식처 평가 모델인 PHABSIM의 입력자료로 활용하였다. 피라미 서식을 위한 적정 유속과 수심의 서식처 적합도 지수를 이용하여 각 시나리오 별가중가용면적(WUA: Weighted Usable Area)을 산정하여 비교 분석하여, 식생밀도에 따른 단면 구조의 변화가 WUA 면적과 피라미 서식처 적합도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 검토하였다. 그 결과, 수목 밀도를 미반영한 하상변동 모의 결과를 PHABSIM의 입력 자료로 활용하였을 때 가중가용면적이 가장 높았고, 식생 밀도를 증가시킨 하상변동 모의 결과를 입력 자료로 활용하였을 때 WUA값이 가장 낮게 나타났다. 이는 피라미의 서식처 적합도 측면에서 식생이 적어 특정 유량에 따른 하상변동의 폭이 커지면서 저수로 최저하상과 고수부 하상과의 표고차가 상대적으로 낮은 하상 단면이 피라미의 서식처 측면에서 유리할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다.

Lateral connectivity between a main channel and a former channel plays an integral role in maintaining ecological functions of stream-floodplain ecosystems. This study virtually restored the connectivity of the former channel, which is currently isolated by channelization, in the Mangyeong River, Korea. Fish habitat improvement after the connectivity restoration was evaluated using River2D, two-dimensional depth-averaged hydraulic modeling, depending on normal and flood flow conditions. Target fish species were crucian carp (Carassius auratus), which are known as lentic species, and pale chub (Zacco platypus), known as lotic species. The weighted usable area (WUA) of the two species was increased after the connectivity restoration: the two-way connection between the main and formal channels was more effective than the one-way connection. The result of the physical habitat simulation at a flood flow condition demonstrated an increased rate of the WUA than during a normal flow condition. In particular, the WUA of pale chub increased about four times on the two-way connectivity restoration. This result suggests that habitat availability of both lentic and lotic fish species will increase after a connectivity restoration, and a two-way connectivity restoration may be more effective. In addition, the restored formal channel would function as a shelter for fish during the flood season.
