In this study, optimal parameters of diffusion-analogy GIUH were calculated by separating channel and hillslope from drainage structures in the basin. Parameters of the model were composed of channel and hillslope, each velocity($u_c$, $u_h$) and diffusion coefficient($D_c$, $D_h$). Tanbu subwatershed in Bocheong river basin as a target basin was classified as 4th rivers by Strahler's ordering scheme. The optimization technique was applied to the SCE-UA, the estimated optimal parameters are as follows. $u_c$ : 0.589 m/s, $u_h$ : 0.021 m/s, $D_c$ : $34.469m^2/s$, $D_h$ : $0.1333m^2/s$. As a verification for the estimated parameters, the error of average peak flow was about 11 % and the error of peaktime was 0.3 hr. By examining the variability of parameters, the channel diffusion coefficient didn't have significant effect on hydrological response function. by considering these results, the model is expected to be simplified in the future.

The spatial and temporal distribution of soil moisture was characterized from soil moisture data through the intensive monitoring using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). The recession of soil moisture after a rainfall event was characterized and the empirical equation was used in the recession curve analysis. Recession analysis provides features of soil moisture variation such as recharge and stability depending upon locations of monitoring. The wetness index was useful for explaining spatial and temporal distributions of soil moisture and recession characteristics at hillslope scale.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the behavior of subsurface water flow during rainfall on the hillslope in the Dongguneung experimental basin. As a result of the study, the following conclusions were obtained. Under the total rainfall of 20mm, there were no groundwater level changes. However, it was found that total rainfall amount and rainfall intensity were important factors to change groundwater level in hilly slope. Also the rainfall duration and preexisted rainfall amount were important factors to change it on the head hollow. To analyze the modification of 'U-shaped Gol' landform, the pattern of return flow and through flow have to check during storm events. The microgeomorphic change of head hollow is based on the pattern of subsurface water flow.

In this study, the change pattern of hydrological response function as development has been observed. The target watershed was selected Tanbu sub-Basin in the Bocheong Basin. The applied channel networks are composed of 10 cases that are channel networks by strahler's ordering scheme and cases of all grids channel or the hillslope in basin. To each case of grid in basin, channel and hillslope drainage path lengths to outlet of basin are calculated, and hydrological response function was calculated by Nash Model. As results of this analysis, the peak discharge of hydrological response function is increased and peak time is shortened as development of channel networks. And based on statistical characteristics of hydrological response function, mean (lag time) and variance of travel time are reduced exponentially.

The objective of this study is to explore scale problem and to analyze the relations between scale and geomorphologic parameters of the rainfall-runoff model. Generally, measurement and calculation of geomorphologic parameters rely on and are sensitive to the resolution of source information available. Therefore, rainfall-runoff models using geomorphologic parameters should take account of the effects of the map scale used in their development. The derived rainfall-runoff model considering scale problem in this research is the GIUH type model, that is a basin IUH consisting of the channel network response and hillslope response. The cannel network response is computed by means of the diffusion analogy transformed from linearized St. Venant equation and hillslope response is calculated by 2-parameter gamma distribution function. Representing geomorphologic structure of the channel network and initial distribution of its response is width function. This width function is derived by fractal theory and Melton's law to consider scale problems and is weighted by the source location function (SLF) proposed in this research to increase the applicability.

A soil moisture measuring method for a hillslope of Korean watershed was developed to configure spatial-temporal distribution of soil moisture. Intensive surveying of topography had been performed to make a refined digital elevation model(DEM) and the hydrological interpretation from flow distribution algorithm was incorporated through reverse surveying. Moreover, A long term measurement system was established to maximize representative features of spatial variation of soil moisture and operated from October 19 to 21, 2003. TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry) with a multiplex monitoring system has been operated for accurate measurements. Measurements were performed at the right side hillslope of Buprunsa located at the sulmachun watershed. The data of temporal and spatial soil moisture variation by rainfall event were collected and the variations of soil moisture were well captured.

The hydrological-geomorphic character is closely related with runoff in basin. A development of GIS greatly helps investigating about mechanism between theirs. We analyze local slope and hillslope length which are related with hydrological response. But variation of these geomorphic variables has very wide range at each pixel. So there's a limit as to use directly. Therefore we investigate a relation between hydrological response and distributed geomorphic variables according to statistical character of distributed map considering spatial correlation. As a result, the local slope affects peak discharge, and the hillslope length affects peak discharge and time, mean and variance of hydrological response. Henceforth these hydrological-geomorphic analyze methods can be improved that hydrology response is directly analogized with DEM data.

The mean residence time is the time scale for intermediate status between infiltration and runoff and one of the critical factors for understanding runoff response, erosion, and eco-hydrological processes. This research explored a direct method to estimate the mean residence time over existing indirect, isotope tracer method. Spatial and temporal distributions of soil moisture have been monitored for a year with 2-hours monitoring interval. Mean residence time for soil moisture showed apparent increasing tendency to deeper depth and decreasing trend during summer periods, which had intensive rainfall events. The mean residence times obtained from this research showed similar trend to those obtained from other isotope methods, which means the direct method can be an efficient approach to obtain the mean residence time.

Mountain watersheds are a lot of problems about soil erosion because of frequent wildfire occurrence. Runoff and soil erosion caused by the rain on a hillslope after wildfire are dependent on cover factor. And these has been a decrease by the cover factor recovery following time passage. The present paper defines the dynamic sensitivity of runoff and soil erosion that is the rate of runoff volume and soil erosion weight to rainfall energy and analyzes characteristics of the sensitivity for variation of cover factor, In according to the correlation analysis between other parameters and sensitivities, the sensitivity is the most dependent on the cover factor and the relation is exponential. The sensitivities after wildfire have suitable relation with treatment method for the mitigation of burnt forest and wildfire intensity. It was confirmed that the variation of soil erosion sensitivities come upon the range of stability in 5 years after wildfire.

Shallow landslide often occurs in areas of this topography where subsurface soil water flow paths give rise to excess pore-water pressures downslope. Recent hillslope hydrology studies have shown that subsurface topography has a strong impact in controlling the connectivity of saturated areas at the soil-bedrock interface. In this study, the physically based SHALSTAB model was used to evaluate the effects of three soil thicknesses (i.e. average soil layer, soil thickness to weathered soil and soil thickness to bedrock soil layer) and subsurface flow reflecting three soil thicknesses on shallow landslide prediction accuracy. Three digital elevation models (DEMs; i.e. ground surface, weathered surface and bedrock surface) and three soil thicknesses (average soil thickness, soil thickness to weathered rock and soil thickness to bedrock) at a small hillslope site in Jinbu, Kangwon Prefecture, eastern part of the Korean Peninsula, were considered. Each prediction result simulated with the SHALSTAB model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis for modelling accuracy. The results of the ROC analysis for shallow landslide prediction using the ground surface DEM (GSTO), the weathered surface DEM and the bedrock surface DEM (BSTO) indicated that the prediction accuracy was higher using flow accumulation by the BSTO and weathered soil thickness compared to results. These results imply that 1) the effect of subsurface flow by BSTO on shallow landslide prediction especially could be larger than the effects of topography by GSTO, and 2) the effect of weathered soil thickness could be larger than the effects of average soil thickness and bedrock soil thickness on shallow landslide prediction. Therefore, we suggest that using BSTO dem and weathered soil layer can improve the accuracy of shallow landslide prediction, which should contribute to more accurately predicting shallow landslides.
