Baseflow which is one of the unmeasurable components of streamflow and slowly flows through underground is important for water resource management. Despite various separation methods from researches preceded, it is difficult to find a significant separation method for baseflow separation. This study applied the MRC method and developed the improved approach to separate baseflow from total streamflow hydrograph. Previous researchers utilized the whole streamflow data of study period at once to derive synthetic MRCs causing unreliable results. This study has been proceeded with total nine areas with gauging stations. Each three areas are selected from 3 domestic major watersheds. Tool for drawing MRC had been used to draw MRCs of each area. First, synthetic MRC for whole period and two other MRCs were drawn following two different criteria. Two criteria were set by different conditions, one is flow condition and the other is seasonality. The whole streamflow was classified according to seasonality and flow conditions, and MRCs had been drawn with a specialized program. The MRCs for flow conditions had low R2 and similar trend to recession segments. On the other hand, the seasonal MRCs were eligible for the baseflow separation that properly reflects the seasonal variability of baseflow. Comparing two methods of assuming MRC for baseflow separation, seasonal MRC was more effective for relieving overestimating tendency of synthetic MRC. Flow condition MRCs had large distribution of the flow and this means accurate MRC could not be found. Baseflow separation using seasonal MRC is showing more reliability than the other one however, if certain technique added up to the flow condition MRC method to stabilize distribution of the streamflow, the flow conditions method could secure reliability as much as seasonal MRC method.

Based on the current status of groundwater usage in the dry season through field surveys, this study tried to suggest countermeasures to reduce groundwater usage and to improve the water quality of baseflow from agricultural fields. For this purposes, basins with water curtain cultivation preceded were targeted where decreases of groundwater due to continuous use of groundwater in spring and winter annually observed. From monitoring groudwater usage of the study watershed, 130,058, 130,105 m³/day of water was pumped in during the water curtain cultivation period (October-February) in the Shindun, Seokwon watershed respectively. And the pilot application of the smart automated sensor-based water curtain cultivation system (smart WC system) developed in this study to reduce groundwater consumption has been conducted. As a result, the efficiency of the smart WC system when threshold temperature is set as 6.3 ℃ was 21.1% compared to conventional cultivation and efficiency increased as threshold temperature gets lower. Lastly, in this study, culvert drainage and Bio-filters were installed and rainfall monitoring was performed 15 times in order to analyze the baseflow securement and pollutant loads behavior. As a result, the test-bed with culvert drainage and Bio-filter installed together generated 61.4% more baseflow (4.974 m³) than the test-bed with only culvert drainage was installed (3.056 m³). However, the total pollutant load of all water quality contents (BOD, COD, T-N, TOC) except for the SS and T-P was found to be greater in the culvert drain and Bio-filter installed than in the culvert drain test-bed.

기후변화에 의한 이상가뭄 발생 등을 대비하기 위한 비상용수 또는 대체수자원으로서의 지하수 개발수요가 증가하는 추세에 따라 기저유량 확보 및 수질 개선 방안을 수립하는 것은 지속가능한 수자원 이용·관리 측면에 있어서 매우 중요하다. 지하수 및 기저유량 확보 및 수질 개선을 위해서는 지표-지하수 통합 관리가 필요하며 이를 기반으로 지하수 및 기저유량 변동에 대한 인과관계 파악 및 구체적인 조사가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지표-지하수에 대한 계절적·시공간적 변동성을 잘 모의할 수 있는 통합 모델을 기반으로 지하수위 변동을 포함한 물수지 분석과 장·단기 유출해석이 정량적으로 분석하고자 하였으며, 평창군 대화면, 만대지구, 신둔천 유역을 대상으로 간벌, BMP, LID를 비롯한 다양한 시나리오에 따른 기저유량 및 수질변화 그리고 오염특성 파악을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 지표-지하수 통합 모델링을 위하여 SWAT-MODFLOW 모형을 활용하였으며, 간벌 시나리오의 경우 모형 Source code를 수정하여 간벌의 효과를 모의할 수 있도록 수정하였다. 또한 BMP와 LID의 경우 각 HRU별로 저감시설에 대한 효율 및 매개변수 조정을 통해 효율을 모의하였다. 모형의 입력자료 구축을 위하여 지표 모형의 경우 DEM, 토지이용도, 토양도를 활용하였으며, 지하수 모형의 경우 지하수기초조사자료에 수록된 수리전도도, 비산출율, 비보유율 조사결과를 활용하여 입력자료를 구축하였다. 그 결과 간벌시나리오의 경우 건기시 최소 6.7% 이상의 하천유량, 22.56% 이상의 기저유량, 그리고 0.3 m 이상의 지하수위 확보가 가능한 것으로 나타났다. BMP의 경우 유역면적의 약 7%에 BMP가 설치된 것으로 나타났으며, 이에 따른 하천 말단 SS저감효율은 6.7%로 나타났으나 유량에서는 큰 차이를 나타내지 못하였다. 마지막으로 LID시나리오의 경우 적용 소유역의 강우시 평균유량이 약 29% 감소하였으며 건기시 평균 기저유량이 약 44%이상, 평균 BFI는 약 0.13 증가한 것으로 나타났다.

The flow duration curves in the present and the ideal hydrologic cycle were derived using SWAT model. The present situation is the landuse and the groundwater withdrawal in the year of 2000 and the ideal situation is the landuse of 1975 and no groundwater withdrawal. These results were compared with the previous instream flow requirements which are the larger flow between the average drought flow and environmental control flow. As a result, the present and ideal drought flows of Ojeoncheon, Hakuicheon, Samseongcheon, and Sammakcheon, were the same and the drought flows of Samseongcheon and Sammakcheon were even zero since the baseflow is very little due to the small and mountainous watersheds. The previous instream flow requirement for the riverine function is also larger than the low flow of the ideal hydrologic cycle. The present method to set the instream flow requirement is not proper for the small mountainous watershed since it can be usually overestimated and drive the artificial measures to secure the streamflow Therefore, another method should be developed such as the low flow and the average flow between the drought flow and the low flow of the ideal hydrologic cycle using the proper hydrologic simulation model such as SWAT which can consider the landuse.

The SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) should be calibrated and validated with observed data to secure accuracy of model prediction. Recently, the SWAT-CUP (Calibration and Uncertainty Program for SWAT) software, which can calibrate SWAT using various algorithms, were developed to help SWAT users calibrate model efficiently. In this study, three algorithms (GLUE: Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation, PARASOL: Parameter solution, SUFI-2: Sequential Uncertainty Fitting ver. 2) in the SWAT-CUP were applied for the Soyang-gang dam watershed to evaluate these algorithms. Simulated total streamflow and 0~75% percentile streamflow were compared with observed data, respectively. The NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency) and $R^2$ (Coefficient of Determination) values were the same from three algorithms but the P-factor for confidence of calibration ranged from 0.27 to 0.81 . the PARASOL shows the lowest p-factor (0.27), SUFI-2 gives the greatest P-factor (0.81) among these three algorithms. Based on calibration results, the SUFI-2 was found to be suitable for calibration in Soyang-gang dam watershed. Although the NSE and $R^2$ values were satisfactory for total streamflow estimation, the SWAT simulated values for low flow regime were not satisfactory (negative NSE values) in this study. This is because of limitations in semi-distributed SWAT modeling structure, which cannot simulated effects of spatial locations of HRUs (Hydrologic Response Unit) within subwatersheds in SWAT. To solve this problem, a module capable of simulating groundwater/baseflow should be developed and added to the SWAT system. With this enhancement in SWAT/SWAT-CUP, the SWAT estimated streamflow values could be used in determining standard flow rate in TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Load) application at a watershed.
