Seasonal and stational variation of SS and COD were investigated from February 2008 to December 2010 and the relationship between them was discussed. During three years monitoring, SS decreased significantly (46% decline) possibly due to the increase of precipitation and thereby resulting salinity drop. COD on average was the highest in 2009. SS was the highest in autumn and the lowest in winter, and over 72% of SS was FSS. While SS is high in the upper sampling stations of the bay with shallow water, COD values do not show any relationship to the geomorphological characteristics. $COD_{ins}$, which was defined as COD after filtration, ranged 56%(winter) ~ 44.6%(summer) and showed no correlation with SS. It indicates that high SS concentration is not necessarily related to the high $COD_{ins}$. The seasonal $COD_{ins}$/SS data, which can be interpreted as COD density in SS, shows that SS in winter contains the dense COD materials compared to the other seasons.

The mathematical analysis of the outflow hydrograph resulting from earth dam-break was studied. DBFW(Dam Break Flood Wave) model based on the breach mechanism and reservoir storage equation was developed and was applied to the Teton and Buffalo-Creek dam. The modeling results showed that the shape of outflow hydrograph, peak discharge and failure duration time had a good agreement with the data analyzed by NWS. The breach mechanisms which exert influence on the outflow hydrograph were consisted of geomorphological characteristics of the reservoir, breach mode, breach width and failure duration time. The earth dams in Korea were classified into four types by the reservoir geomorphology, and water surface elevation-failure duration time-peak discharge relationships were also presented. The methodological procedure made in this paper will provide a basic contribution to dam-break study in river system.

The Yeongsan River had played an important role as s waterway, but in 1981, the Yeongsan River Estuarin Barrage had been constructed, the waterway had been cut off. Since then, in the lower Yeongsan River basin, discussions about the waterway restoration and its utilization of the Yeongsan River has been proposed. But these discussions have not been examined thoroughly with geomorphological and hydrological characteristics of river charmel The waterway restoration and its utilization in the Yeongsan River should be based on scientific validity. In case of considering the conditions of the Yeongsan River, it is desired that the small ship for environmental survey and ecotourism is navigable from Gujinpo to Yeongsan River Estuarin Barrage by dredging a parts of river channel. To devise a plan about restoration and its utilization of waterway, it is necessary that regional and local governments, related administrative agencies, specialists, and NGO should develop the participation and cooperation systems based on governance.

Anyang Stream including its main branch is the biggest branch stream of Han River in Korea. The geological and geomorphological characteristics were investigated to the affected area of Anyang Stream, in which rainfall characteristic was analyzed. The water quality surveyed that the analysis of water pollution used to biotic index and biological water pollution. The rainfall pattern in this area was like to that of typical Korea, but the rate of trigger and runoff during summer season(June~August) is more higher than mean of Korea. Before 2003, a dried stream is severe status, which was due to abundant runoff, but this status are improved. After 1997, water quality of stream is recovering status such as water pollution of stream steeply decreased. Especially after 2003, this trend is more quickly improved. Although, owing to the increasing of a T-N and SS at upstream wastewater were due to bad collection of industrial factories, livestock's and mans living, the water quality worsted at upstream. Water quality in total section of main stream was severely contaminated that water-quality limit is 5 with polysaprobic by water self-purification. That of main branch was 1~3limits with ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-mesosaprobic in Anyang city area, But water quality in all area about another branch of Anyang stream except Anyang city area was almost under of 3 grades. Though trying of Anyang city for recover movement(completion of 2nd Sewage Treatment Plant and Water supply pipe system) on Anyang stream, water pollution states of upper branch in Anyang stream was not better than its of 2002 because it may be difference of control area on other cities.

This study surveyed intensively the relationships between grain size of coarse bed materials and some principal factors in channel system, drainage area and channel slope, in Rocky Mountains. The result of this research shows that there are statistically significant relationships between these factors. Generally, the grain size and the channel slope exponentially decreased in the study area with the increase in drainage area. However, there are great differences in grain size and channel slope between upstream and downstream channels. The boundary lines are commonly located at near the mouth of canyon. From these results, it can be concluded that the bed material characteristics and the channel slope are strongly influenced by the geological and geomorphological background of the drainage basin in this study area.

The consistent use of appropriate names for the undersea features is an essential element of effective communication among ocean scientists. The correct use of names on bathymetric and nautical charts provide benefits to national and international communities. Also it is expected that naming of the marine geographical features within the territorial waters and EEZ contributes to secure the territorial waters and preserve the various marine resources. This paper will seek to addresses a variety of activities where geographic names issues for undersea features arises. For the purpose of this paper, the attention will be given upon 1) the general history of activities on naming undersea features in Korea; 2) development of the guideline for standardization of marine geographical names; 3) geomorphological characteristics of undersea features in East Sea; and 4) future plan to conduct a systematic analysis for naming marine geographical features in Korea.

Talus topography is that weathered rock clasts were accumulated dropping in steep slope to action of gravity. Rock fall talus is formed by the accumulation of rock debris falling as individual particles from a cliff. If the collapse is produced in talus slope. it will be possible the loss of manpower and country. Despite correct access about talus is required, domestic research was scientific access about talus short because of short resolution of aerophoto and difficulties of research about huge talus. In this Study, Our research team analgize the wetness index using the geomorphogical data. Lineament through wetness index is simillar with distribution of the talus. And, the aim of the present study is to review and compare fabric data derived from rock fall talus about orientation, distribution and morphology. These deposits tend to have approximately equal amounts of clasts oriented parallel and perpendicular to the dip direction of the slope. And, platy- shaped clasts dominate the proximal and intermediate parts of the talus, wheres blocky-shaped clasts is more common in the distal part. we carry out Rock Fall Simulation. And, We install criteria of the rockfall protective barrier using talus and geomorphological characteristics.

Three types of methods are used to determine the lag time which is an important parameter in estimating the geomorphological instantaneous unit hydrograph (GIUH) and their results are anlyzed hydrologically in this study. The first method uses only the average velocity and second one uses the combination of the stream length and the average velocity. The third method employs the relationship between watershed area and lag time obtained from the empirical coefficients of Boyd and Singh. To verify the applicabilities of such methods to the actual river basin, the obtained lag times were tested by using the observed data. The results showed that the first method was applicable to small watershed area but not to larger area. The several other hydrologic characteristics beside the watershed area should be considered for the third method because the accuracy of the lag time was not good. Finally, the second method gave the most similar simulation results and the best agreements to the observed runoff data than any other method.

유효유량이란 수년에 걸쳐 연 유사량의 대부분을 이동시키는 유량으로 정의되며 유량-빈도분포곡선과 유사량 곡선을 이용하여 산정된다. 유효유량은 하도를 설계하거나 기존 하도의 안정성을 평가하는데 있어 기준유량이 될 수 있는 필수적인 요소이지만, 현재 국내의 경우 이에 대한 분석이 충분히 수행되지 않아 특정한 패턴을 도출하기 힘든 실정이다. 특히 우리나라의 하천은 연강수량의 약 70%가 여름철에 집중되는 기후적 특성의 영향으로 하상계수가 미국과 유럽에 비해 10에서 25배 크게 나타나 외국사례를 국내에 적용하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구하도복원이 계획 또는 진행되어 유효유량 산정이 필수적이며 하상계수가 매우 큰 만경강, 청미천, 함평천을 대상하천으로 선정하여 유효 유량을 산정하고 수리적, 지형학적 특성과의 연관성을 분석하고자 한다. 유효유량을 계산하는 데 있어 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 유량빈도 간격 수와 유량빈도 간격의 설정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유효유량 산정을 위한 유량 간격으로 산술등간격(Arithmeic Bin)과 로그간격(Logarithmic Bin)을 모두 사용하였으며 각각 간격수가 25개, 50개, 100개인 경우에 대해 유효유량을 계산하여 비교하였다. 산술등간격과 로그간격을 사용한 유효유량 산정결과 중 최대, 최소값을 제외한 나머지의 평균값을 각 대상하천의 유효유량으로 선정하였다. 수리적, 지형학적 특성에 따른 대상하천 분석 결과 하상계수가 클수록 유효유량이 크게 산정되는 것으로 나타났으며 하상 경사, 하상토의 중앙입경 크기와 비례하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 수심-하폭비와 사행도의 경우 유효유량과 반비례하는 것으로 나타났다.

Effective management of water resources in Korea becomes very important in recent years. Especially, the management of reservoirs cannot be over emphasized. The status of sediment deposit and the dredging records of agricultural reservoirs were examined to find out at e reservoir retention capacity could be raised more than 10% of the total volume of reservoirs in Kyungbook Province. Sediment prediction methods were developed by combining the estimation mothods of geomorphological characteristics and upslope contribution area in GIS, The estimated sediment depsit amount were compared with the dredging records for three agricultural reservoires. It was found that the distributed model with ‘Flow accumulation’ and ‘Multiple Flow Direction Algorithm’ gives good prediction results for mountaineous area.
