Rainfall is one of crucial factors that impact on our environment. Rainfall data is important in water resources management, flood forecasting, and designing hydraulic structures. However, it is not available in some rural watersheds without rain gauges. Thus, effective ways of interpolating the available records are needed. Despite many widely used spatial interpolation methods, few studies have investigated rainfall center characteristics. Based on the theory that the spatial distribution of convective rainfall event has a definite center with maximum rainfall, we present a mathematical interpolation method to estimate convective rainfall distribution and indicate the rainfall center location and the center rainfall volume. We apply the method to estimate three convective rainfall events in Santa Catalina Island where reliable hydrological data is available. A cross-validation technique is used to evaluate the method. The result shows that the method will suffer from high relative error in two situations: 1) when estimating the minimum rainfall and 2) when estimating an external site. For all other situations, the method's performance is reasonable and acceptable. Since the method is based on a continuous function, it can provide distributed rainfall data for distributed hydrological model sand indicate statistical characteristics of given areas via mathematical calculation.

It has been reported that many slope failures in unsaturated soils are mainly caused by downward infiltration due to rainfall. The rainfall characteristics could be an important factor, and more predictable slope failures can be achieved by considering more reasonable rainfall conditions. So, a need exists that these trends of infiltration in weathered soils, which is commonly found in Korea, are assessed by considering rainfall conditions based on phenomenological approach. In this paper, numerical analyses of unsaturated soil slope under rainfall conditions are presented based on the soil-water characteristic curve in the laboratory and huff method. Then the performance of unsaturated weathered soil slopes was evaluated under various conditions after applying the effect of overburden pressure on SWCCs and fines contents. The results demonstrated that the rainfall conditions using Huff method can be very effective and the proper application on analysis is very important to enhance the prediction on unsaturated slope stability.

불포화 사면에서는 강우시 침투가 일어나고 포화가 됨에 따라 불안정해진다. 불포화토의 유효응력의 관점에서는, 모관흡수력이 감소하면 유효응력이 감소하고 동시에 전단강도도 감소하여 사면 안정성이 저해된다. 본 연구에서는 불포화토의 유효응력을 흡수응력으로 기술하는데 초점을 둔다. 그리고 유한요소응력장에서 안전율을 계산하여 실제 사면의 붕괴를 시뮬레이션한다. 하동 및 포항지역의 풍화토 지층에 대하여 실내실험을 수행하여 불포화 물성을 분석하였다. 그리고 불포화 사면의 침투 해석을 수행하고 응력해석과 안정해석을 통하여 실제 붕괴를 재현하였다. 따라서 불포화 유효응력 원리에 근거하여, 실제 사면의 안정성을 성공적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 유효응력 개념이 강우 침투를 고려한 사면 설계의 실무에 적용될 수 있음을 입증하였다.

Groundwater recharge rate can be estimated from groundwater head rebound due to rainfall. Groundwater level changes are monitored for 10 months at Yugu area. Difference between two recharge rates calculated by rainfall and by effective rainfall is 1.1%~1.6%. Since this method ignores soil water percolation during groundwater level regression, the actual recharge rate may be higher than estimated one by cumulative rainfall and groundwater level change.

유역의 수문학적 토양피복형으로부터 유역 또는 합성곡선번호를, 강우-유출기록으로부터 관측곡선 번호를, 관측곡선번호의 중앙치로서 중위유선번호를 산정하였다. 유출기록을 기준으로 평가할 경우 AMC-II조건의 CN-II에 의하면 과소하게, AMC-III조건의 CN-III에 의하면 과대하게 유효강우량이 산정된다. 따라서 유효강우량산정의 개선방안으로 CN-II와 CN-III의 중간값인 조정곡선번호가 정의될 수 있다. 중위곡선번호에 의하여 산정된 유출이 관측치에 가장 근접하게 되는 점을 감안하면 계측유역의 대표곡선번호로서 중위곡선번호가 사용될 수 있다.

장마나 집중호우 등에 의한 지속적인 강우는 비점오염원의 유출과 더불어 유량을 증가시킨다. 그리고 유량의 증가로 수위가 상승하게 되면 하천 주변에 산재되어 있던 부유쓰레기는 빨라진 유속에 의해 이동하게 된다. 하지만 현재 국내외에서 강우량과 유량을 분석하여 부유쓰레기의 이동량을 정량적으로 산출한 연구 사례는 없었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SCS-CN 방법을 이용하여 산출한 유효 강우량과 유량 변화에 따른 이동 경로 모니터링 결과를 토대로 부유쓰레기의 이동량을 산정하였다.

Although long-term runoff analysis is important as much as flood analysis in the design of water works, the technological level of the former is relatively lower than that of the latter. In this respect, the precise estimation model for the volume of successive runoff should he developed as soon as possible. Up to now, in Korea, Gajiyama's formula has been widely used in long-term runoff analysis, which has many problems in applying in real situation. On the other hand, in flood analysis, unit hydrograph method has been exclusively used. Therefore, this study aims at trying to apply unit hydrograph method in long-term runoff analysis for the betterment of its estimation. Four test catchment areas were selected ; Maesan area in Namlum river as a representative area of Han river system, Cheongju area in Musim river as one of Geum river system, Hwasun area in Hwasun river as one of Yongsan river system, and Supyung area in Geum river as one of Nakdong river system. In the analysis of unit hydrograph, seperation of effective rainfall was carried out firstly. Considering that effective rainfall and moisture condition of catchrnent area are inside and outside of a phenomenon respectively and the latter is not considered in the analysis, Initial base flow(qb)was selected as an index of moisture condition. At the same time, basic equation(Eq.7) was established, in which qb can take a role as a parameter in relating between cumulative rainfall(P) and cumulative loss of rainfall(Ld). Based on the above equation, computer program for estimation model of qbwas seperately developed according to the range of qb, Developed model was applied to measured hydrographs and hyetographs for total 10 years in 4 test areas and effective rainfall was estimated. Estimation precision of model was checked as shown in Tab- 6 and Fig.8. In the next stage, based on the estimated effective rainfall(R) and runoff(Qd), a runoff distribution ratio was calculated for each teat area using by computerised least square method and used in making unit hydrographs in each test area. Significance of induced hydrographs was tested by checking the relative errors between estimated and measured runoff volume(Tab-9, 10). According to the results, runoff estimation error by unit hydrograph itself was merely 2 or 3 %, but other 2 or 3 % of error proved to be transferred error in the seperation of effective rainfall. In this study, special attentioning point is that, in spite of different river systems and forest conditions of test areas, standardized unit hydrographs for them have very similar curve shape, which can be explained by having similar catchinent characteristics such as stream length, catchinent area, slope, and vegetation intensity. That fact should be treated as important factor ingeneralization of unit hydrograph method.

본 연구에서는 레이더 강우량 자료의 편차보정에 사용되는 G/R비의 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 fuzzy c-means 방법을 사용한 자료의 군집화를 적용하였다. 대상 레이더자료는 광덕산 레이더기지의 자료로서 유효범위 100km이내의 자료를 대상으로 지상관측망인 기상청의 AWS(Automatic Weather System) 지점에서 관측한 자료와의 비교를 통하여 G/R비를 구하였다. G/R비를 구하는데 있어서 전체 유효범위를 대상으로 동일한 방법을 사용한 경우와 레이더 자료의 군집화를 통해서 지형적인 효과를 고려한 경우를 비교하였으며, AWS 실측강우량과 G/R비를 통한 레이더 강우량 자료의 비교를 위하여 절대상대오차와 평균제곱근오차 등을 비교분석하였다. 그 결과 전체유효범위를 대상으로 동일하게 G/R비를 적용하여 구한 레이더 강우량에 비하여 군집분석을 이용하여 지형효과를 고려한 G/R비를 적용한 레이더 강우량의 오차가 더 적게 나타났다.

The rainfall observation systems have largely been improved in Japan. The Japan Meteorological Agency, prefecture governments, and other administrative bodies have also increased the number of rain gauges thru out the country. The density of observatories is now one per several $\km^2$. Heavy rainfall information systems have been improved. Besides it, the Internet was popularized in the late 1990s, and has been used to transmit data of heavy rainfall. Internet accessible cellular phones have been popular in Japan since 1999. Such phones are expected to be useful in the field of disaster warning announcements, because they can automatically notify users bye-mail of pending disasters. The use of the Internet during natural disasters is groundbreaking in Japan today. However, in order to use disaster information effectively on Internet it is necessary to investigate how to use the information during the rainfall disaster. Therefore in our study we suggest methods on the effective construction and their use of information technology on Internet.

Laboratory experiments were conducted with two different soil conditions to investigate rainfall infiltration characteristics. The soil layer materials that were tested were weathered granite soil and weathered gneiss soil. Artificial rainfall of 80 mm/hr was reproduced through the use of a rainfall device, and the volumetric water content and matric suction were measured. In the case of the granite soil, the saturation velocity and the moving direction of the wetting front were fast and upward, respectively, whereas in the case of the weathered gneiss soil, the velocity and direction were slow and downward, respectively. Rainfall penetrated and saturated from the bottom to the top as the hydraulic conductivity of the granite soil was higher than the infiltration capacity of the artificial rainfall. In contrast, as the hydraulic conductivity of the gneiss soil was lower than the infiltration capacity of the rainfall, ponding occurred on the surface: part of the rainfall first infiltrated, with the remaining rainfall subsequently flowing out. The unsaturated hydraulic conductivity function of weathered soils was determined and analyzed with matric suction and the effective degree of saturation.
