In this paper, it was analyzed the variation of hydraulic characteristics through changing discharge at main channel and lateral channel and state of hydraulic structure at the natural channel junction by experiment. The experimental area is chosen at the channel junction of Nam-Han river and Pyeongchang river. The scale of the experiment is 1/200 in horizontal, and 1/66.7 in vortical, so the distoration rate is 3. From the experiment, the reduction effect of the water level is $12\%$ in the case of removing intank dam, and $5\%$ at the hydro-electronic dam removing case. Furthermore, in the case of two hydraulic structures removing, the reduction effect of water level is $18\%$ at the channel junction. Also, the stagnation zone, which is cased diminution of the channel at the junction, is decreasing through removing the structures.

FLDWAV model was modified such that it can adequately simulate the effect of Jamsil and Singok submerged weirs in the main reach of the Han River. The enhanced model combines weir-type discharge equations for overflow at fixed weir and Manning equation for fluvial-type flow at the movable weir. Equations for weir overflow include those for submerged weir flow and free overflow. Gates of the movable weir may be open or closed for the simulation. In order to test the simulation capabilities, the enhanced model was applied for various flow conditions at submerged weirs. Backwater effect due to Jamsil and Singok submerged weirs were well simulated. Simulations were carried out for spring and neap tides extracted from artificial tide generated by combining $M_2\;and\;S_2$ tidal constituents. Simulation results cleared indicated that tidal effect extends further upstream as the flood discharge decreases. Low flow simulation capabilities of the enhanced model was tested. Discontinuities of water surface elevation due to the submerged weirs were successively simulated.

최근 홍수파 또는 댐 및 보 등의 하천구조물과, 본류와 지류의 합류로 인해 발생하는 배수영향 등으로 하천에 고리형 수위-유량관계가 나타나 수위-유량관계식의 신뢰도가 저하된다고 판단되는 대하천 본류와 합류부 인근 지류에서 초음파유속계 측정결과를 지표로 활용하는 자동유량장치가 현재 58개소에 도입되어 운용되고 있다. 그러나, 최근 4대강 사업으로 다기능보 설치 등 하천의 수리적 특성이 변동하였고, 지류에서 주로 운용되는 수위-유량관계 기반 유량관측소에 본류-지류합류로 인한 배수영향으로 고리형 수위-유량관계가 형성될 경우, 지류 수위관측소를 자동유량관측소로 대체할 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 또한, 기존 자동유량관측소의 경우 홍수량이 기준이하로 나타날 경우 수위-유량 관계식으로 대체하는 경우도 있는데 적용기준이 명확하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 신규 자동유량장치 설치, 기존 수위관측소의 자동유량관측소대체, 자동유량관측소에서 수위-유량관계곡선의 활용 기준 마련 등을 명확하게 판단하기 위해 고리형 수위-유량관계 패턴을 분석하고 배수영향구간을 산정하여 제시하고 지류 수위관측소의 존속여부, 유량자료의 적절성을 판단할 수 있는 방법론을 제시 하고자한다. 이를 위해, 다기능보 설치 및 지류-본류로 인한 지류하천의 배수영향과 홍수파에 의한 고리형 수위-유량관계의 양상을 다양한 수문사상에 대해 분석하였다. 분석방법으로는 대상유역을 선정하고, 대상유역에 대한 부정류 모형을 구축하기 위해 HEC-RAS 모형을 사용하고, 대상유역에 대한 HEC-RAS 지형자료와 유량입력자료를 구축한다. HEC-RAS 부정류 모형 구축 후 다양한 본류와 지류의 유량을 가정하여 고리형 수위-유량 발생 패턴을 분석한다. 지류-본류 합류 영향의 경우, 본류영향의 유무를 고려하여 상승된 수위의 비율로부터 일정 유의수준을 두어 배수영향구간을 산정한다. 다기능보의 영향은 다기능보 설치 전후를 가정하여 영향을 분석한다. 본 연구에서는 시범구역으로 하류에 창녕함안보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 남강과 하류에 달성보가 위치한 낙동강과 합류하는 금호강을 대상하천으로 하여 위 분석방법을 적용하였다. 분석결과 남강의 경우 지류 유량이 작은 경우에도 본류 유량이 상대적으로 큰 경우 배수영향에 의한 고리형이 나타났고, 다기능보에 의한 배수영향은 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 지류의 유량이 큰 경우 홍수파에 의한 고리형 관계도 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 금호강의 경우 또한 마찬가지로 본류의 유량에 의해 발생하는 고려형 관계가 지배적임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 95%의 유의 수준을 기반으로 고리형 발생 여부를 확일할 수 있는 모노그래프를 남강, 금호강에 대해 작성하여 수위-유량관계 기반 유량 산정의 적절성을 판단하는 기준으로 제안하였다.

It is necessary to determine an optimal design frequency for establishing stable flood control against frequent flood disasters. Depending on the importance of river and regional characteristics, design return periods are suggested from at least 50 years up to 200 years for river design. However, due to the wide range of applications, it is not desirable to reflect the geographical and flood control characteristics of river. In this study, Bayes theory was applied to seven evaluation factors to determine the optimal design return period of rivers in Chungcheongnam-do; urbanization flooded area, watershed area, basin coefficient, slope, water system and stream order, range of backwater effect, abnormal rainfall occurrence frequency. The potential flood damage (PFD) capacity was estimated considering climate change and the appropriate design return period was determined by analyzing the capacity of each district. We compared the design return periods of 382 rivers in Chungcheongnam-do with the existing design return periods. The number of rivers that were upgraded from the existing return period were 65, which have relatively large flooding areas and have large PFDs. Whereas, the number of rivers that were downgraded were 169.

In Korea, annual precipitation and its variability have gradually increased since modern meteorological observations began, and the risk of disasters has also been increasing due to significant regional variations and recent abnormal climate conditions. Given that damage from storms and floods mainly occurs around rivers, it is crucial to determine the appropriate design frequency for river-related projects. This study examined existing design practices used to determine hydrological design frequencies and suggested a new method to determine appropriate design frequencies. The study collected available data pertaining to seven evaluation factors, specifically the basin areas, shape parameters, channel slopes, stream orders, backwater effect reaches, extreme rainfall frequencies, and urbanized flood inundation areasfor 413 local rivers in Chungcheongnam-do in Korea. The estimated weights for areas of extreme rainfall frequencies and urbanized flood inundation were found to be 18, having a great effect on determining the design frequency. Compared with the established design frequency in previous government reports, the estimated design frequency increased for 255 rivers and decreased for 158 rivers.

A study on changes on the distribution of vascular hydrophytes and the growth pattern of Schenoplectus triqueter (Scirpus triqueter) was undertaken at the Nakdong River estuary from 2002 to 2004. The change was due to physical alteration of the estuary for the past 25 years. These plant species are the major food sources for winter waterfowl. A total of 32 species of vascular hydrophytes from 17 families were found in the West Nakdong River (freshwater), the main channel of Nakdong River (freshwater) and the Nakdong River Estuary (brackish water). After the construction of the barrage on the estuary in 1987, the number of hydrophytes has remarkably increased to 17 species (5 species in 1985) in the main channel of the River. In particular, a community of Eurale ferox was found at the backwater wetland of the Daejeo side of the main channel. The introduced species of Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes that were epidemic in 2001 at West Nakdong River was not found any more. The other species such as Nymphoides indica, Myriophyllum spicatum, Ruppia spp. were rediscovered. The large area (about 1,300ha) of Zostera spp. was the main sources of food for swans, but disappeared because of direct and indirect impacts of reclamation in the River estuary. Currently, there remains a small patch of Zostera spp. and about 250ha of S. triqueter. Schenoplectus triqueter grew mostly between April-September and tuber formed, between September-October. The growth of S. triqueter up to $60\sim80cm$ in length was observed in 5 sites out of the 7 sites in brackish area. Tubers of S. triqueter were eaten by waterfowls such as swans as winter food. In five sites, tubers took $44\sim57%$ of total biomass in October. Tubers were found in deep layers; $5\sim15cm$ (9%), $15\sim25cm$ (28%), $25\sim40cm$ (55%), below 40cm $(6\sim7%)$. The distribution of vascular hydrophytes has remarkably changed in the Nakdong River Estuary due to the reclamation of the area. In order to determine the extent of changes of the distribution of these plants and the carrying capacity of the area for waterfowl, an intensive research is urgently needed.
