This study aims to test the feasibility of combined use of EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) hydrodynamic model and WASP7.3 (Water Quality Analysis Program) model to improve accuracy of water quality predictions of the Yongdam Lake, Korea. The orthogonal curvilinear grid system was used for EFDC model to represent riverine shape of the study area. Relationship between volume, surface and elevation results were checked to verify if the grid system represents morphology of the lake properly. Monthly average boundary water quality conditions were estimated using the monthly monitored water quality data from Korean Ministry of Environment DB system. Monthly tributary flow rates were back-routed using dam discharge data and allocated in proportion to each basin area as direct measurements were not available. The optimum number of grid system was determined to be 372 horizontal cells and 10 vertical layers of the site for 1 year simulation of hydrodynamics and water quality out of iterative trials. Monthly observed BOD, TN, TP and Chl-a concentrations inside the lake were used for calibration of WASP7.3 model. This study shows that EFDC and WASP can be used in series successfully to improve accuracy in water quality modeling. However, it was observed that the amount of data to develop inflow water quality and flow rate boundary conditions and water quality data inside lake for calibration were not enough for accurate modeling. It is suggested that object-oriented data collection systems would be necessary to ensure accuracy of EFDC-WASP model application and thus for efficient lake water quality management strategy development.

This study introduced a method of estimating water surface evaporation using the physical-based Penman combination equation (PCE) and the Penman wind function (PWF). A set of regression parameters in the PCE and PWF models were optimized by using the observed evaporation data for the period 2016-2017 in the Yongdam Dam watershed, and their effectiveness was explored. The estimated evaporation over the Deokyu Mountain flux tower demonstrated that the PWF method appears to have more improved results in terms of correlation, but both methods showed overestimation. Further, the PWF method was applied to the observed hydro-meteorological data on the surface of Yongdam Lake. The PWF method outperformed the PCE in the estimation of water surface evaporation in terms of goodness-of-fit measure and visual evaluation. Future studies will focus on a regionalization process which can be effective in estimating water surface evaporation for the ungauged area by linking hydrometeorological characteristics and regression parameters.

For estimating the minimum discharge to maintain a river, low flow analysis is required and long term runoff records are needed for the analysis. However, runoff data should be estimated to run a hydrologic model for ungaged river basin. For the reason, parameter estimation is crucial to simulate rainfall-runoff events for those basins using Tank model. In this study, only runoff data recorded for dry season are used for parameter estimation, which is different to other methods based on runoff data recorded for wet and dry seasons. The Harmony Search algorithm is used to determine the optimum parameters for Tank model. The coefficient of determination ($R^2$) is served as the objective function in the Harmony Search. In cases that recorded data are insufficient, the recording interval is changed and Empirical CDF is adopted to analyze the estimated parameters. The suggested method is applied to Yongdam dam, Soyanggang dam, Chungju dam and Seomjingang dam basins. As results, the higher $R^2s$ are obtained when the shorter recording interval, the better recorded data quality, and the more rainfall events recorded along with certain rainfall amount is. Moreover, when the total rainfall is higher than the certain amount, $R^2$ is high. Considering the facts found from this study for the low flow analysis, it is possible to estimate the parameters for Tank model properly with the desired confidence level.

This study investigated longitudinal changes in riverbed materials properties and temporal alteration of river channel geomorphology in the Geum River basin, where two multipurpose dams(Yongdam Dam and Daecheong Dam) were built in upstream area. We carried out grain size distribution analyses and measured soil organic matter contents of riverbed materials taken at the upper and lower sites of the two large dams. We also estimated the channel width, bar area and vegetation encroachment using the oldest map and aerial photographs taken before and after the construction of the dams. The results can contribute to increasing understandings of dam induced habitat alteration in river ecosystem.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the applicability of the GRM (Grid based rainfall-Runoff Model) to the continuous simulation by simulating the dam inflow. The GRM was previously developed for the simulation of rainfall-runoff events but has recently been improved to enable continuous simulation. The target watersheds are Chungju dam, Andong dam, Yongdam dam, and Sumjingang dam basins, and runoff models were constructed with the spatial resolution of 500 m × 500 m. The simulation period is 21 years (2001 to 2021). The simulation results were evaluated over the 17 year period (2005 to 2021), and were divided into three data periods: total duration, wet season (June to September), and dry season (October to May), and compared with the observed daily inflow of each dam. Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE), Kling-Gupta efficiency (KGE), correlation coefficient (CC), and total volume error (VE) were used to evaluate the fitness of the simulation results. As a result of evaluating the simulated dam inflow, the observed data could be well reproduced in the total duration and wet season, and the dry season also showed good simulation results considering the uncertainty of low-flow data. As a result of the study, it was found that the continuous simulation technique of the GRM model was properly implemented and the model was sufficiently applicable to the simulation of dam inflow in this study.

과거의 무분별한 수자원 개발에 따른 자연환경파괴로 인해 점차 대규모 다목적댐의 건설과 같은 신규 수자원 개발이 쉽지 않은 상황이지만, 여전히 댐은 유한의 수자원을 적극적으로 확보하기 위한 가장 대표적인 방법으로서, 안정적인 용수 확보를 통한 물부족의 해소와 효율적인 운영을 통한 홍수와 가뭄 피해 예방을 위해 중요한 역할을 해오고 있다. 댐의 건설로 인해 하류측 본류에서는 과거와 같은 유량의 극심한 계절적인 편차는 감소되었으며, 가뭄이나 홍수에 대한 피해 규모도 저감되었다고 볼 수 있다. 댐 건설에 따른 수문학적 변화에 대한 분석은 실제 댐 건설 전후의 장기적인 관측자료를 비교하는 것이 가장 정확한 방법이나, 대부분 관측자료가 전무하거나 충분하지 못하기 때문에 일반적으로 모델링을 통해 장기간의 유출자료를 추정한 후 이를 기반으로 그 영향을 평가하고 있다. 모델링 방법으로는 과거부터 오랫동안 국내 수자원 해석 및 계획에 폭넓게 활용되고 있는 TANK 모형을 비롯하여, SSARR, NWS-PC, TOPMODEL, HSPF, PRMS, SLURP, SWAT, MIKE-SHE 등 다양한 모형들이 적용되고 있다. 이 중에서 SWAT은 유역의 수문 수질의 시공간적인 해석 및 관리, 그리고 미래 유역환경변화에 따른 영향 평가 등을 위해 국내는 물론 국제적으로도 많이 적용되고 있는 모형이다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형을 국내 유역 특성에 적합하도록 개선한 SWAT-K 모형을 이용하여, 금강유역에서의 대청댐 및 용담댐의 운영과 인위적인 용수 이용에 따른 유출량, 증발산량 및 지하수 함양량 등의 수문성분의 변화를 분석하였다. 대청댐의 건설과 유역내 용수 이용으로 인해 하류측 공주지점에서의 유출량은 자연상태에 비해 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 지하수 함양량과 증발산량은 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다.

A climate-impact projection usually consists of several stages, and the uncertainty of the projection is known to be quite large. It is necessary to assess how much each stage contributed to the uncertainty. We call an uncertainty quantification method in which relative contribution of each stage can be evaluated as uncertainty decomposition. We propose a new Bayesian model for uncertainty decomposition in climate change impact assessments. The proposed Bayesian model can incorporate uncertainty of natural variability and utilize data in control period. We provide a simple and efficient Gibbs sampling algorithm using the auxiliary variable technique. We compare the proposed method with other existing uncertainty decomposition methods by analyzing streamflow data for Yongdam Dam basin located at Geum River in South Korea.

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission(TRMM) Satellite was launched in November 1997, carrying into orbit the first space-borne Precipitation Radar(PR). The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between TRMM/PR and AWS raingage data, and test the possibility to apply storm runoff prediction. Four TRMM/PR data in 1999 for Yongdam watershed was adopted and made a simple linear regression equation using AWS data. By using the equation, the storm runoff was estimated with the adjusted rainfall. TRMM/PR rainfall and runoff was overall underestimated by the carry-over effect of rainfall error and SCS-CN value selection.

Soil moisture is a very important variable in various area of hydrological processes. We predict the soil moisture using a support vector regression. The model is trained and tested using the soil moisture data observed in five sites in the Yongdam dam basin. With respect to soil moisture data of of four sites-Jucheon, Bugui, Sangieon and Ahncheon which are used to train the model, the correlation coefficient between the esimtates and the observed values is about 0.976. As the result of the application to Cheoncheon2 for validating the model, the correlation coefficient between the estimates and the observed values of soil moisture is about 0.835. We compare those results with those of artificial neural network models.

지난 2010년 9월 21일~22일 서울지역에 발생한 시간당 최고 250 mm의 집중호우는 짧은 지속 시간동안 강수총량이 컸기 때문에 재산 및 인명피해가 상당했다. 기존의 강우빈도해석은 각 사상의 강수총량 또는 지속시간별 연최대치강우량을 기준으로 산정하는 방식인데 이번 이상홍수의 경우에는 강수총량과 첨두강수량이 높음에도 불구하고 지속시간이 짧기 때문에 체감적 강도에 미치지 못하는 재현기간을 가질 것으로 생각된다. 그러므로 빈도해석 시 기존 일변량 빈도해석과 달리 이변량, 삼변량, 다변량의 빈도해석이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구의 대상유역은 용담댐 유역으로 강수총량, 지속시간, 첨두값을 대상으로 상관관계를 비교하여 지속시간과 첨두강수량에 대한 Gumbel mixed 모형을 적용하여 그에 따른 재현기간을 산정하였다. 또한 단일 Gumbel 모형과의 비교를 통해 두 모형의 차이점을 밝힘으로써 Gumbel Mixed 모형에 대한 신뢰도를 높였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제안한 Gumbel mixed 모형은 이상홍수 뿐 아니라 다양한 수문학적 설계와 관리에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.
