Recently, the frequency of heavy rainfall is increasing due to the effects of climate change, and heavy rainfall in urban areas has an unexpected and local characteristic. Floods caused by localized heavy rains in urban areas occur rapidly and frequently, so that life and property damage is also increasing. It is crucial how fast and precise observations can be made on successful flood management in urban areas. Local heavy rainfall is predominant in low-level storms, and the present large-scale radars are vulnerable to low-level rainfall detection and observations. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce a new urban flood forecasting system to minimize urban flood damage by upgrading the urban flood response system and improving observation and forecasting accuracy by quickly observing and predicting the local storm in urban areas. Currently, the WHAP (Water Hazard Information Platform) Project is promoting the goal of securing new concept water disaster response technology by linking high resolution hydrological information with rainfall prediction and urban flood model. In the WHAP Project, local rainfall detection and prediction, urban flood prediction and operation technology are being developed based on high-resolution small radar for observing the local rainfall. This study is expected to provide more accurate and detailed urban flood warning system by enabling high-resolution observation of urban areas.

The increased water level caused by tidal motion at Indokyo is analyzed by the NETWORK model. The tidal effect is studied for 3 real floods in 1990 and 8 classified hypothetical floods in which the peak discharges are in the range of 2, 000-20, 000CMS. The result of numerical simulation shows that the tidal effect is decreased as the flood is increased. The surged level is 50cm when the flood discharge is 2, 000CMS, showing that its effect is considerable. However it shows only 9cm when the discharge is 7, 000CMS which corresponds to 4.5cm of standard flood level of MOC. Therefore, so it may be possible to neglect the influence of the tidal fluctuation when the peak discharge of a flood is bigger than 7, 000CMS.

In this study, flood stage was computed by HEC-RAS, 1-D numerical analysis model and FESWMS-2DH, 2-D numerical model. Flood stages computed by two different models were compared for straight line, dot axle watercourse, dead-zone watercourse, section sudden-changing watercourse, and curved watercourse. From the results, flow velocity and water level were similar in straight watercourse and dot-reduction watercourse. However, there was difference of flow velocity and water level in dead-zone watercourse, sudden expansion, dot-reduction, and curve-watercourse. This result might be influenced by rapid change of watercourse due to dead-zone, the angle of inflow and outflow, and the curvature. Especially in this study, numerical model was applied to Wol-Song-Cheon at Chuncheon in order to analyze the effect of flood stage by two different models. By flowing properties around the bridge and confluence of rivers, it was found that flow velocity and water level was changed. Therefore, it was concluded that a lot of uncertainties are contained in the present bank.

HEC-ResSim, reservoir operation model, is applied to Seomjin river dam in order to establish a rational method for water supply and flood control by dam operation. In order to minimize downstream flood damage for Seomjin river basin and adjacent regions, reservoir routing is applied to several frequency flood events within the framework of rainy seasonal operation rule and then the characteristics change of hydrological behavior for the downstream of study area is investigated in depth. Its quantitative efficiency and estimation method is evaluated on the basis of the adjustment scheme of conservation water surface elevation for flood control and water secure; reservoir routing considering preliminary release and variable restricted water level; and its effect to water supply; and downstream flood-duration analysis.

With the occurrence of localized heavy rain while river flow has increased, both flow and rainfall cause riverside flood damages. As the degree of damage varies according to the level of social and economic impact, it is required to secure sufficient forecast lead time for flood response in areas with high population and asset density. In this study, the author established a flood risk matrix using ensemble rainfall runoff modeling and evaluated its applicability in order to increase the damage reduction effect by securing the time required for flood response. The flood risk matrix constructs the flood damage impact level (X-axis) using flood damage data and predicts the likelihood of flood occurrence (Y-axis) according to the result of ensemble rainfall runoff modeling using LENS rainfall data and as well as probabilistic forecasting. Therefore, the author introduced a method for determining the impact level of flood damage using historical flood damage data and quantitative flood damage assessment methods. It was compared with the existing flood warning data and the damage situation at the flood warning points in the Taehwa River Basin and the Hyeongsan River Basin in the Nakdong River Region. As a result, the analysis showed that it was possible to predict the time and degree of flood risk from up to three days in advance. Hence, it will be helpful for damage reduction activities by securing the lead time for flood response.

Reservoir operation during flood period can be divided into two parts: One is for an operating policy during flood period to consider water conservation and flood control, and the other is for flood time on a random water level at flood forecasting, This study is concerned with reservoir operation and discusses general reservoir operation at flood time. Flood control has problems such as the uncertainty of hydrologic models. technical limitations and some constraints. Therefore, we may prepare the quantitative flood control methods based on the assured flood control storage for reservoir operation. Transformed Reservoir Flood(TRF) Reservoir Operation Method(ROM) is a procedure which determines the adequate releases with considering dam safety for flood inflows over non-damaging discharge. Based on the TRF ROM which was explained in our published paper. the study discusses the TRF ROM with additional investigations and the general reservoir operation rules at flood time.

In this study, the Storage Function Method and Loopnet Model (Unsteady flow analysis model) were used to construct the flood prediction system which can predict the effects of the water release in the downstream region of Teachong Dam. The regional frequency analysis (L-moment) was applied to compute frequency-based precipitation, and the flood prediction system was also used for flood routing of the down stream region of Teachong Dam in the Kum River Basin to calculate frequency based flood. The magnitude of flood, water level, discharge, and travel time to the major points of the downstream region of Teachong Dam, which can be used as an imdex of flood control management of Teachong Dam, were calculated.

Recently irrigation reservoir has been developed to perform multipurpose function. To get a maximum effect it requires to establish optimal management system for irrigation reservoir in drought and flood season. Especially we dealt with optimal flood control system for irrigation reservoir in this study. This system consists of real-time rainfall data via online system, real-time flood forecasted by SCS method in hourly basis, storage volume by water balance equation, optimal releasing discharge from the gate, the water level in right downstream, and calculation of innundated area, depth, and time using GIS, and amount of flood damages. If we consider the relation of these sub module reasonably, we can reach the optimal flood control to minimize flood damage

The underflow type movable weirs were arranged in a multi-stage way along a reach at the Chiseong River, where flooding has been observed frequently. With management water level of the movable weirs the control effects of storage and flood were suggested and the control effects were compared with those of existed weir system. The water level for the targeted storage and flood elevation was suggested by building the artificial neural network model. When the underflow type of movable weirs were arranged in a multi-stage way, the peak flood elevation decreased by 68.28% in the downstream compared with the existed weir system, and the total storage of the target section of multi-stage movable weirs increased by 216%. As a result of numerical simulation to build the artificial neural network model, 60%, 20%, and 20% among 216 data were used for the training, validation, and test, respectively. The training result of mean square error was $0.1681m^2$ and the high coefficients of determination were 0.9961, 0.9967, and 0.9943 in the training, validation, and test, respectively. As a result the water level management of each movable weir for the controls of flood elevation in the targeted downstream and targeted storage was suggested by using the artificial neural network.
