High spatio-temporal resolution hydrologic components can give important information to monitor natural disaster. The objective of this study is to create high spatial-temporal resolution gridded hydrologic components using TOPLATS distributed land surface model and evaluate their accuracy. For this, Andong dam basin is selected as study area and TOPLATS model is constructed to create hourly simulated values in every $1{\times}1km^2$ cell size. The observed inflow at Andong dam and soil moisture at Andong AWS site are collected to directly evaluate the simulated one. RMSEs of monthly simulated flow for calibration (2003~2006) and verification (2007~2009) periods show 36.87 mm and 32.41 mm, respectively. The hourly simulated soil moisture in the cell located Andong observation site for 2009 is well fitted with observed one at -50 cm. From this results, the cell based hydrologic components using TOPLATS distributed land surface model show to reasonably represent the real hydrologic condition in the field. Therefore the model driven hydrologic information can be used to analyze local water balance and monitor natural disaster caused by the severe weather.

The water level data sets among hydrologic observation data are correspond to the hydraulic head for each observation point and determine flow direction. The level difference among reservoir, river, and groundwater determines groundwater flow direction, just like water flows in the downstream direction because the water level of upstream point is higher than that of downstream point. We can analyze the relationship among the components in hydrologic cycle by comparing the water level differences. This research dealt with the data from Nakdong river watershed in Gyungsangnam-Do. Three data group are used for the analysis and onr group is composed of reservoir, river, and groundwater data sets. The data sets are closely(within 10 km) located in the interested area.

In order to efficiently use defined satellite network resources, it is a priority to understand the performance and usage of the network. In this paper, in order to analyze the operational efficiency and stability of the system in the satellite communication system operated by K-water flood forecast and alarm network, FTP and ping testing and network traffic analysis methods of measuring download and upload speed between central and observational countries were introduced. As a result of measuring the transmission speed by the introduced test method, the effects of TCP accelerators have been improved by 120% upon download from the observational station. Through the performance test and traffic analysis of the satellite hydrologic observation system introduced, environmental improvement and improvement points of the satellite communication system were derived so that the operational efficiency and stability of the communication network could be expected.

The objectives of this study are to provide an observation-based urban flood prediction model and to evaluate their performance on a restored Cheonggye stream. The study area, which has its own unique hydrologic and flooding conditions that can be characterized the standard of flood occurrence by watergate opening and walk lane inundation, measured stream discharges at the 5 sites and watergate opening and walk lane inundation through the main stream since 2006. This study derived the relationship between precipitation intensity and watergate opening and walk lane inundation time by using the observations of 2006 and verified their performance on 2007 flood events. The result showed that the coefficients of determination are ranged on 0.57-0.75, which would be acceptable if considering the complexity of the area and the proposed model simplicity. It also suggested the continuous observation of these properties is required for further improvement of the models.

This study is to analyse the hydrological behavior of agricultural reservoir using CAT (Catchment hydrologic cycle Assessment Tool). The CAT is a water cycle analysis model in order to quantitatively assess the characteristics of the short/long-term changes in watershed. It supports the effective design of water cycle improvement facilities by supplementing the strengths and weaknesses of existing conceptual parameter-based lumped hydrologic models and physical parameter-based distributed hydrologic models. The CAT especially supports the analysis of runoff processes in paddy fields and reservoirs. To evaluate the impact of agricultural reservoir operation and irrigation water supply on long-term rainfall-runoff process, the CAT was applied to Idong experimental catchment, operated for research on the rural catchment characteristics and accumulated long term data by hydrological observation equipments since 2000. From the results of the main control points, Idong, Yongdeok and Misan reservoirs, the daily water levels of those points are consistent well with observed water levels, and the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiencies were 0.32~0.89 (2001~2007) and correlation coefficients were 0.73~0.98.

In this study a conceptual soil water model is proposed to simulate water balance at catchment scale. The model is based on the sequential separation of daily precipitation into surface runoff, wetting, vaporization, and percolation. The proposed model is calibrated by using three observation sets: empirically estimated annual vaporization, monthly wetting estimated by NRCS-CN method, and both of them. The model performance is evaluated to understand which hydrologic components for calibrating the model are needed. It is shown that both of annual vaporization and monthly wetting are indispensable hydrologic components to simulate reasonably precipitation partitioning.

Recently, the frequency and intensity of meteorological disasters have increased due to climate change. In South Korea, there are regional differences in vulnerability and response capability to cope with climate change because of regional climate characteristics. In particular, drought results from various factors and is linked to extensive meteorological, hydrological, and agricultural impacts. Therefore, in order to effectively cope with drought, it is necessary to use a composite drought index that can take into account various factors, and to evaluate future droughts comprehensively considering climate change. This study evaluated hydrologic risk(${\bar{R}}$) of future drought in the Nakdong River basin based on the Dynamic Naive Bayesian Classification (DNBC)-based composite drought index, which was calculated by applying Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Streamflow Drought Index (SDI), Evaporate Stress Index (ESI) and Water Supply Capacity Index (WSCI) to the DNBC. The indices used in the DNBC were calculated using observation data and climate scenario data. A bivariate frequency analysis was performed for the severity and duration of the composite drought. Then using the estimated bivariate return periods, hydrologic risks of drought were calculated for observation and future periods. The overall results indicated that there were the highest risks during the future period (2021-2040) (${\bar{R}}$=0.572), and Miryang River (#2021) had the highest risk (${\bar{R}}$=0.940) on average. The hydrologic risk of the Nakdong River basin will increase highly in the near future (2021-2040). During the far future (2041-2099), the hydrologic risk decreased in the northern basins, and increased in the southern basins.

Calibrating a conceptual hydrologic model necessitates selection of a calibration period that produces the most reliable prediction. This often must be chosen randomly, however, since there is no objective guidance. Observation plays the most important role in the calibration or uncertainty evaluation of hydrologic models, in which the key factors are the length of the data and the hydro-climate conditions in which they were collected. In this study, we investigated the effect of the calibration period selected on the predictive performance and uncertainty of a model. After classifying the inflows of the Hapcheon Dam from 1991 to 2019 into four hydro-climate conditions (dry, wet, normal, and mixed), a conceptual hydrologic partitioning model was calibrated using data from the same hydro-climate condition. Then, predictive performance and post-parameter statistics were analyzed during the verification period under various hydro-climate conditions. The results of the study were as follows: 1) Hydro-climate conditions during the calibration period have a significant effect on model performance and uncertainty, 2) calibration of a hydrologic model using data in dry hydro-climate conditions is most advantageous in securing model performance for arbitrary hydro-climate conditions, and 3) the dry calibration can lead to more reliable model results.

강우의 관측망 확장과 위성 자료 및 기후 모델을 이용한 격자 단위자료가 개발 및 보급됨에 따라 다양한 자료의 분야별 활용성에 대한 연구의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지역 기후 모델 산출물의 오차 보정을 위한 격자 관측자료의 활용성을 평가하였다. 또한 통합 분포형 수문모델을 이용하여, 보정한 기후모델 결과의 수문 모의를 위한 기후 입력 자료로써의 적합성을 검토하였다. 보정된 결과는 각 관측자료의 월별 평균 강우량과 공간 분포를 비교적 잘 재현하였다. 한편 연강우량 시계열에 있어 그 양상은 잘 재현된 가운데 보정되지 않은 오차를 일부 포함하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 점 관측자료로부터 추정된 시험 지역내 172개 소유역에 대한 일평균 강우량 자료와 비교해 볼 때 관측자료의 형식이나 정확성보다 기후모델의 불확실성에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 수문 모의 결과, 격자 자료를 이용하여 보정한 강우 입력자료는 수문 모델의 검보정에 이용된 소유역 단위 강우 자료를 이용한 결과에 상응하는 활용성을 보여주었다. 또한 강우의 공간 분포를 고려하지 않고, 시험유역 전체에 대한 평균 강우량을 입력 자료로 이용한 결과를 통해 기후 자료의 공간 분포와 관측 밀도의 중요성을 확인하였다.

The subbasin spatial scale can affect a hydrological simulation result. The objective of this study was to investigate an appropriate subbasin spatial scale for reproducing the different flow phases with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Moreover, this study addressed the total hydrologic model uncertainty using the Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation (GLUE) method. The hydrologic modelling uncertainty analysis revealed that the courser subbasin spatial scale provided a relatively better coverage of most of the observations by the 95PPU. On the other hand, the finer subbasin spatial scale produced the best single simulation output closer to the observation. Moreover, most of the observed high flows were enveloped by the 95PPU while this did not happen for the low flows. The overall average performance improvement through an appropriate subbasin spatial scale for reproducing the different flow phases in the Yongdam and Gilgelabay watersheds were found to be 36% and 53%, respectively. It is, therefore, a worth that to put more effort in reproducing the different flow phases by investigating an appropriate subbasin spatial scale to improve our understanding about the frequency and magnitude of the different flow phases.
