본 연구는 낙동강의 지류 하천인 내성천을 대상으로, 장기간(1984~2001년)과 단기간(2009~2011년)의 하도 단면의 변화 특성과 원인에 대해 분석하였다. 지난 약 20년 동안 내성천 하류부의 대부분 지점에서는 최대 2m까지 하상 고도의 저하가 나타났다. 이는 지난 20~30년간 활발하게 이루어진 하상 골재 채취 작업과 하천 준설에 의한 영향으로 판단된다. 최근 2년 동안에는 NM1 지점에서 하도 내 사주의 규모가 크게 축소되는 변화가 나타났다. 그 원인은 NM1 지점의 바로 상류부에서 진행되고 있는 영주댐 공사로 인해 퇴적물 운반이 차단되고 있기 때문으로 보인다. 그러나 하도의 자연성이 상대적으로 양호한 NM2와 NL2 지점에서는 지난 2년간 미약하게나마 하상의 고도 상승이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 내성천에서는 인위적인 하도 간섭이 퇴적물 공급 감소에 따른 하상의 고도 저하에 가장 큰 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 판단된다.

A river bed which is submerged in water at high flow and becomes part of the river at low flow, serves as a bridge between the river and the land. The channel bar creates a unique ecosystem with vegetation adapted to the particular environment and the water pool forms a wetland that plays a very important role in the environment. To evaluate anthropogenic impacts on the river bed in the Middle Yeongsangang River, the fluvial landforms in the stream channel were analyzed using multi-temporal remotely-sensed images. In the aerial photograph of 2005 taken before the construction of the large weirs, oxbow lakes, mid-channel bars, point bars, and natural wetlands between the artificial levees were identified. Multiple bars divided the flow of stream water to cause the braided pattern in a particular section. After the construction of the Seungchon weir, aerial photographs of 2013 and 2015 revealed that most of the fluvial landforms disappeared due to the dredging of its riverbed and water level control(maintenance at 7.5El.m). Sentinel-2 images were analyzed to identify differences between before and after the opening of weir gate. Change detection was performed with the near infrared and shortwave infrared spectral bands to effectively distinguish water surfaces from land. As a result, water surface area of the main stream of the Yeongsangang River decreased by 40% from 1.144km² to 0.692km². A large mid-channel bar that has been deposited upstream of the weir was exposed during low water levels, which shows the obvious influence of weir on the river bed. Newly formed unvegetated point bars that were deposited on the inside of a meander bend were identified from the remotely sensed images. As the maintenance period of the weir gate opening was extended, various habitats were created by creating pools and riffles around the channel bars. Considering the ecological and hydrological functions of the river bed, it is expected that the increase in bar areas through weir gate opening will reduce the artificial interference effect of the weir.
