Drought is a disaster that causes prolonged and wide scale damage. Recently, the severity and frequency of drought occurrences, and drought damage have been increased significantly due to climate change. As a result, a quantitative study of drought factors is needed to better understand and prevent future droughts. In the case of agricultural drought, several existing studies examine the economic damage caused by droughts and their causes, but these studies are not well suited to estimating crop-oriented agricultural drought damage and the factors that absolutely affect agricultural drought. This study determines which factors most affect agricultural drought. It examines meteorological factors and those related to agricultural water supplied by irrigation facilities. Rice paddy production per unit area is lower than the average from the last two years where agricultural drought occurred. We compare the relative frequency of agricultural drought impacts with irrigation facilities, effective reservoir storage, the number of water supply facilities, and the meteorological drought index such as Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). To identify factors that affect agricultural drought, we correlate rice paddy production anomalies with irrigation water supply for the past two years. There was a high positive correlation between rice paddy production and irrigation water usage, and there was a low or moderate negative correlation between rice paddy production anomalies compared to the average of the past two years and SPI. As a result, agricultural water supply by irrigation facilities was judged to be more influential than meteorological factors in rice paddy production. This study is expected to help local governments establish policies related to agricultural drought response.

가뭄은 다른 재해와 다른 특징을 지니고 있는데 이는 가뭄기간에 따라 그 파급효과가 오랫동안 지속될 수 있다는 것이며 이로 인해, 가뭄피해액을 산정하기도 쉽지 않다는 점이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가뭄에 의한 피해를 파악하기 위하여 가뭄피해자료가 구축되어 있는 농업부문과 생활용수부분에 대한 가뭄피해액을 산정하고자 하였다. 우선 국내외의 가뭄피해액을 산정하기 위한 방법들을 검토하였고 이를 토대로 국내에 적용가능한 방안을 제시하고 적용하였다. 2006~2008년의 가뭄에 대하여 경상남도 김해시, 남해군, 의령군, 창녕군, 창원시의 피해액을 추정하였다. 그 결과 농업부문에 있어서 정곡은 2006년에 의령군에서 약 1억9천5백만원, 미곡은 창녕군에서 약 6천7백만원으로 가장 높은 피해액이 추정되었다. 생활용수 부문에서는 2007년을 기준으로 고통비용을 40만원으로 가정하여 피해액을 추정하였으며, 남해군의 4개의 읍.면의 피해지역에서 약 214억 6천만원으로 추정되어 가장 큰 피해가 추정되었다. 가뭄으로 인한 피해 추정을 개선하기 위해서 농업부문의 경우는 현재의 자료를 최대한 활용하는 방향으로 추정방법을 개발하고, 생활용수부문의 경우는 고통비용의 산정과 용수 사용에 대한 가중치를 고려한다면 보다 현실성 있는 피해액 산정방법을 제시할 수 있을 것이다.

장주기의 가뭄과 빈번하게 발생하는 봄철 가뭄으로 연천지역 주민의 생계 수단인 농작물의 피해가 발생하고 있다. 연천의 가뭄에 대한 정도를 분석하기 위해 강수, 하천 유량 자료를 통해서 월별 유량 비율 등을 검토하였으며, 표준 강수 지수와 하천 유출 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 연천군 유역 인근의 강수, 유량 관측소를 활용하여 가뭄 분석을 진행한 결과 모든 가뭄지수에서 공통적으로 2014년에 발생한 가뭄이 2019년까지 크거나 작게 지속된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 지속기간 12개월의 가뭄지수의 경우 가뭄기간이 24개월이 지속됨에 따라 가뭄으로 인한 피해가 극심했을 것으로 예상된다. 가뭄 피해를 대처하기 위해 가뭄의 현재 상태를 파악하고 예측하는 것이 중요하며 가뭄의 정도 및 지속 기간에 따른 하천, 수공 구조물 등의 통합 운영관리 전략을 수행하는 것이 시급할 것으로 판단된다.

Soil moisture plays a critical role in hydrological processes, land-atmosphere interactions and climate variability. It can limit vegetation growth as well as infiltration of rainfall and therefore very important for agriculture sector and food protection. Recently, due to the increased damage from drought caused by climate change, there is a frequent occurrence of shortage of agricultural water, making it difficult to supply and manage stable agricultural water. Efficient water management is necessary to reduce drought damage, and soil moisture management is important in case of upland crops. In this study, soil moisture was calculated based on the water balance model, and the suitability of soil moisture data was verified through the application. The regional soil moisture was calculated based on the meteorological data collected by the meteorological station, and applied the Runs theory. We analyzed the spatiotemporal variability of soil moisture and drought impacts, and analyzed the correlation between actual drought impacts and drought damage through correlation analysis of Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The soil moisture steadily decreased and increased until the rainy season, while the drought size steadily increased and decreased until the rainy season. The regional magnitude of the drought was large in Gyeonggi-do and Gyeongsang-do, and in winter, severe drought occurred in areas of Gangwon-do. As a result of comparative analysis with actual drought events, it was confirmed that there is a high correlation with SPI by each time scale drought events with a correlation coefficient.

North Korea is one of the vulnerable countries facing the threat of a drought, so that it is unavoidable to experience fatal damage when drought is occurred, and it is necessary to improve the drought response capability of water resources systems. However, it is still difficult to find research efforts for drought characteristics and drought management in North Korea. This study is to quantify drought duration and magnitude and to analyze drought characteristics in North Korea. In order to quantitatively identify historical drought conditions and to evaluate their variability, drought indices are commonly used. In this study, drought indices including dry-day index, deciles of normal precipitation, Phillips drought index, standardized precipitation index and Palmer drought severity index are calculated and compared monthly using the weather data for the twenty one meteorological stations in North Korea. The indices compared with the drought damage records that have reported from 1990 to present to understand how the indices can explain the drought. A comparative study was also conducted to evaluate the relative severity of the significant droughts occurred during 2000 and 2001 which were reported as the worst drought in North Korea. Drought indices calculated from this study demonstrated that those can be the effective tools in quantitatively evaluating drought severity and measures of drought. Thus it is recommended the distributed trend of drought be considered when the plan or measures for drought in North Korea are established.

The main goal of this paper is to assess application of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) remote sensing and GIS based images in detection and measuring of rice field drought area in South Korea. Drought is recurring feature of the climatic events, which often hit South Korea, bringing significant water shortages, local economic losses and adverse social consequences. This paper describes the assesment of the near-realtime drought damage monitoring and reporting system for the agricultural drought region. The system is being developed using drought-related vegetation characteristics, which are derived from UAV remote sensing data. The study area is $3.07km^2$ of Wonbuk-myeon, Taean-gun, Chungnam in South Korea. UAV images were acquired three times from July 4 to October 29, 2015. Three images of the same test site have been analysed by object-based image classification technique. Drought damaged paddy rices reached $754,362m^2$, which is 47.1 %. The NongHyeop Agricultural Damage Insurance accepted agricultural land of 4.6 % ($34,932m^2$). For paddy rices by UAV investigation, the drought monitoring and crop productivity was effective in improving drought assessment method.

최근 기후변화에 따른 기상이변으로 전 세계적으로 가뭄피해가 증가하고 있다. 기존의 가뭄지수들은 자연현상만을 분석하여 가뭄의 심화정도를 나타내고 있다. 하지만 도시개발에 따른 도시화가 진행됨에 따라 인문 사회적 요소들이 서로 얽혀서 결합되어 단순히 자연현상만으로는 가뭄재해를 표현하기 어려워지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 복원력개념을 고려한 사회경제적 가뭄지수를 개발하고자 하였다. 복원력개념을 도입하기 위해서 가뭄위험지수, 가뭄대응능력 지수, 가뭄취약성 지수를 산정하였다. 가뭄위험지수로는 SDI(Streamflow Drought Index)를 사용하였으며, 사회 경제적 가뭄을 판단하기 위해서 적합 가뭄지속기간을 고려하였다. 대응능력 지표로는 인문, 사회적 요소와 생활, 농업, 공업용수 공급량, 지하수 함양량을 고려하였다. 취약성 지표로는 인문 사회적 요소와 생활, 농업용수 부족량, 기상요소를 고려하였다. 각 요소의 가중치는 AHP분석을 통해 산정하였다. 산정된 SDI(Streamflow Drought Index), 가뭄대응능력지수, 가뭄취약성지수를 표준화하여 잠재가뭄피해지수 PDDI(Potential Drought Damage Index)를 산정하였으며, 실제 가뭄 기간을 참고하여 등급화를 실시하였다. 그 후, 단순강우를 고려한 SPI(Standardized Precipitation Index)와 강우와 증발산량을을 고려한 RDI(Recommaissamce Drought Index)와의 비교를 통하여 복원력 개념을 고려한 잠재가뭄피해지수의 필요성을 확인하였다.

최근의 기후변화로 인한 강우패턴의 변화는 우리나라에서 가뭄의 발생확률을 증가시키고 있다. 가뭄의 발생은 다른 자연재해와는 달리 지속기간이 길고, 피해지역이 광범위하여, 사회경제적으로 겪는 피해가 다른 자연재해보다 크다. 현재 가뭄의 심도를 평가하기 위해서 기후학적 인자를 우선적으로 고려하는 가뭄지수가 주로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기후학적 인자를 고려한 가뭄지수와 재해에 취약한 사회경제적 요소를 고려하여 가뭄위험지도를 작성함으로써 좀 더 현실적인 가뭄평가 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 경상도 지역에 대한 가뭄의 공간적인 위험도 평가를 수행하기 위해, 가뭄위험도를 노출성 지수와 취약성 지수의 결합으로 정의하여 분석하였다. 가뭄의 노출성 지수는 가뭄지수를 이용하여 GIS를 기반으로 공간적 범위에 분포시켰으며, 가뭄의 취약성 지수는 사회경제적인 5가지 인자를 이용하여 산정하고, 표준화를 통하여 공간적 범위에 분포시켰다. 그 결과 대상지역인 경상도 내 시군구 지역별 가뭄에 대한 위험도의 차이를 비교할 수 있었으며, 같은 강도의 가뭄이 발생하여도 경상도 내 행정구역별 지역적 특성에 따라 가뭄위험도를 평가할 수 있었다.

Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sector to droughts, and drought damage on the agriculture sector could have effects on other sector. Droughts have different characteristics compared to other extreme events, which means more sophisticated methods considering the characteristics of droughts are required when measuring their damage. The purpose of this study is to analyze the damage of droughts based on limited computational general equilibrium model. To be specific, we constructed a CGE model focusing on the agriculture sector in Korea. Also, to limit changes in land use and labor, we limited them, and assume droughts only have effects on productivity of value-added. Lastly, we simulate drought effects on rice production in Korea based on several climate scenarios and GCM to identify the economic effects of droughts. The results show that 1) the cumulated damage of droughts during 2021~2040 is higher than other periods (2040~2061, 2081~2100), 2) the correlation between the damage of droughts and SSP scenarios is insignificant. This result implies the necessity of the effective drought risk management to prevent future droughts effects, irrespective of mitigation policies. 3) Due to increases in rice price, GDP of rice sector is increased. However, GDP of the other sector and consumer welfare are decreased. This result show that indirect effects of droughts would be more important when measuring drought effects on agriculture sector.

Drought forecasting is crucial to minimize the damage to food security and water resources caused by drought. Satellite-based drought research has been conducted since 1980s, which includes drought monitoring, assessment, and prediction. Unlike numerous studies on drought monitoring and assessment for the past few decades, satellite-based drought forecasting has gained popularity in recent years. For successful drought forecasting, it is necessary to carefully identify the relationships between drought factors and drought conditions by drought type and lead time. This paper aims to provide an overview of recent research trends and challenges for satellite-based drought forecasts focusing on lead times. Based on the recent literature survey during the past decade, the satellite-based drought forecasting studies were divided into three groups by lead time (i.e., short-term, sub-seasonal, and seasonal) and reviewed with the characteristics of the predictors (i.e., drought factors) and predictands (i.e., drought indices). Then, three major challenges-difficulty in model generalization, model resolution and feature selection, and saturation of forecasting skill improvement-were discussed, which led to provide several future research directions of satellite-based drought forecasting.
