Various facilities in the river working in a complex interdependence network result in both desired and adverse effects. Among these, the weir crossing the river continuously acts in various ways, such as securing river maintenance flow and water level during dry-period, and rising flood level during rainy period. Until now, weir planning was only limited to flood mitigation management. Recently, the demand for securing river environment functions is increasing. Therefore, the necessity for an environmental flow has emerged. Nevertheless, there is no analysis and evaluation of the ecological functional aspects applying the environmental flow when planning facilities. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and systematize an assessment method that considers not only flood control but also river environment. Environmental flow was applied to the weir named Dondaet-bo and hydraulic analysis was conducted for each retention, demolition, and re-installation case. Also, this research was conducted to minimize the impact on the surrounding river facilities and flood assessments from previous perspectives were performed. The study result demonstrated a plan to reinstall the weir as a natural riffle. Through this study, it is expected that the flood control and environmental functions of rivers can be secured in combination.

In surface image velocimetry, a wide area of a river is photographed at an angle to measure its velocity, inevitably causing image distortion. Although a distorted image can be corrected into an orthogonal image by using 2D projective coordinate transformation and considering reference points on the same plane as the water surface, this method is limited by the uncertainty of changes in the water level in the event of a flood. Therefore, in this study, we developed a tilt image correction technique that corrects distortions in oblique images without resetting the reference points while coping with changes in the water level using the geometric relationship between the coordinates of the reference points set at a high position the camera, and the vertical distance between the water surface and the camera. Furthermore, we developed a distortion correction method to verify the corrected image, wherein we conducted a full-scale river experiment to verify the reference point transformation equation and measure the surface velocity. Based on the verification results, the proposed tilt image correction method was found to be over 97% accurate, whereas the experiment result of the surface velocity differed by approximately 4% as compared to the results calculated using the proposed method, thereby indicating high accuracy. Application of the proposed method to an image-based fixed automatic discharge measurement system can improve the accuracy of discharge measurement in the event of a flood when the water level changes rapidly.

최근 태풍, 집중호우로 인한 홍수피해가 빈번히 발생함하고 있다. 특히 상류에 저수지가 있을 경우 홍수조절을 통해 하류지역의 홍수피해를 저감하기도 하지만 급작스런 방류량의 증가 등으로 인해 하류지역의 피해가 증가되는 경우도 있다. 따라서 하류지역 홍수피해 저감을 위해 저수지의 홍수관리기능에 대한 관심도가 높아지고 있다. 대규모 다목적댐의 경우 다양한 저수지운영룰을 통해 수문을 운영하고 있어 홍수조절기능을 충분히 수행하고 있지만, 농업용저수지는 홍수관리에 있어 수문조작 전문성의 부족과 운영룰의 미정립 등으로 인해 취약성을 가지고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 수문이 설치된 1백만m³이상의 저수지 중 성주저수지를 연구대상저수지로 선정하였다. 비상수문을 통한 사전방류방안과, 저수지운영을 연구하여 농업용저수지의 홍수조절용량 확보를 위한 사전방류방안에 대해 연구하였다. 저수지운영은 Auto ROM을 적용하였고 홍수조절용량 확보를 위하여 홍수기 수위관리기법 중 사전방류기법을 채택하였다. 사전방류기법은 모의기법에 의한 사전방류와 최적화기법에 의한 최적사전방류량을 결정하는 방법으로 연구하였다. 홍수기의 제한수위는 유효저수량의 70%인 EL.179.7m, 65%인 EL.178.8m, 60%인 EL.177.8m로 설정하여 분석하였다. 모의기법에 의한 사전방류방법은 초기수위는 만수위에서부터 1.0m씩 감소하였고, 비상수문은 0.5m씩 개방하여 4.0m까지 개방 하였다. 사전방류의 시간은 24hrs, 48hrs를 적용하였다. 최적화기법에 의한 사전방류방법은 초기수위는 모의기법과 동일하고 목표수위를 제한수위(70%, 65%, 60%)가 되는 최적방류량을 산정하고 최적방류량을 방류할 수 있는 수문의 개방높이를 분석하였다. 2012년, 2020년의 호우사상에 대해 사전방류가 없는 경우와 모의기법, 최적화기법에 의한 사전방류결과를 적용한 경우를 비교하여 검토하였다. 그 결과 제한수위 70%를 유지할 경우 2012년은 모의기법이 5.6%, 최적화기법이 5.4%의 방류량 감소효과가 있으며 2020년은 모의기법이 9.0%, 최적화기법이 8.8%의 방류량 감소효과가 있는 것으로 검토되었다.

Recently, water resources and energy policies such as integrated water management and carbon neutrality are changing rapidly. There is an opinion that the value of hydropower reservoirs related to these policies should be re-evaluated. In the past, they have contributed to flood control in addition to electricity generation, such as operating at a limited water level during the flood season, but loss of power generation is inevitable with this operation. Therefore, this study introduced the concept of resilience to the hydropower generation system to minimize the power loss. A framework for evaluating the power generation performance of them was presented by defining the maximization of electricity sales as performance. Based on the current procedure of multiple operation plan, a scenario was established and simulation was performed using HEC-5. As a result of applying to the framework, it was confirmed that the power generation performance according to each scenario was evaluated as an important factor. And it was confirmed that the performance of flood control and water use could also be evaluated.

The objective of this study was to construct and assess the applicability of the EFDC model for Saemangeum Reservoir as a 3D hydrodynamic and water quality modeling tool that is necessary for the effective management of water quality and establishment of conservation measures. The model grids for both reservoir system only and reservoir-ocean system were created using the most recent survey data to compare the effects of different downstream boundary conditions. The model was applied for the simulations of temperature, salinity, water quality variables including chemical oxygen demand (COD), chlorophyll-a (Chl-a), phosphorus and nitrogen species and algal biomass, and validated using the field data obtained in 2008. Although the model reasonably represented the temporal and spatial variations of the state variables in the reservoir with limited boundary forcing data, the salinity level was underestimated in the middle and upstream of the reservoir when the flow data were used at downstream boundaries; Sinsi and Garyuk Gates. In turn, the error caused to increase the bias of water quality simulations, and inaccurate simulation of density flow regime of river inflow during flood events. It is likely because of the loss of momentum of sea water intrusion at downstream boundaries. In contrast to flow boundary conditions, the mixing between sea water and freshwater was well reproduced when open water boundary condition was applied. Thus, it is required to improve the downstream boundary conditions that can accommodate the real operations of the sluice gates.

The reservoir is one of the important partsof facilities for development of irrigation water in Korea. Accordingly, construction of the reservoir will be stressed in the field of future development of agricultural water resources. In the meantime, storage capacity is actually is limited to some extent with various conditions. Acreage of benefited area shall be determined according to such conditions as catchment area, precipitation and unit water requirment within benefited area. According to results of the past construction of the reservoir, the ratio of catchment area to benefited area would be 4:1 to 2.5:1 or catchment area is approximately 2.5 times larger and over than benefited area. In order words, it is the ordinary practice in the construction of reservoir that benefited area should be less than 1/2.5 times as large as catchment area. Moreover, limitation of catchment area would prevent largely the vast drought-stricken area from being benefited by irrigation facilites. This has been, in fact, caused by the fact that a good deal of water stored in the reservoir overflows wastefully through spillway of the reservoir at th time of flood season, and that only very little of the overflowed water is available for irrigation. However, if the more wasted water is stored during the flood season, the larger area of farmland can irrigated. That is, catchment area can reduced to less than 2.5 times as large as benefited area. On the other hand, it is afraid that such reduction should bring about the increase of unit storage capacity. And storage capacity being maximized, costs for construction of the reservoir will be raised too highly, thus making the economics feasibility unfavorable. The purpose of this study is to decide the ratio of catchment area to benefited area toward the minimum level as possible in consideration of the hydrological and economic aspects. Kopung Project which is located in Sosan-kun, Chungnam Province is taken as an example for the review and analysis in this study, and as an example for crop, rice is taken. After consideration of this project, we can find out that annual average inflow is 726mm and annual average water requirements is 811mm. And the ratio of catchment area to benefited area is 1.2:1. This means that catchment area can be reduced even to 1.2 times as large as benefited area. In conclusion, this study reveals that the construction of reservoir is feasible in view of economic and technical points provided that catchment area is more than 1.5 times as large as benefited area.
