In this study we evaluated the hydrological applicability of multi-satellite precipitation estimates. Three high-resolution global multi-satellite precipitation products, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA), the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP), and the Climate Precipitation Center (CPC) Morphing technique (CMORPH), were applied to the Coupled Routing and Excess Storage (CREST) model for the evaluation of their hydrological utility. The CREST model was calibrated from 2002 to 2005 and validated from 2006 to 2009 in the Chungju Dam watershed, including two years of warm-up periods (2002-2003 and 2006-2007). Areal-averaged precipitation time series of the multi-satellite data were compared with those of the ground records. The results indicate that the multi-satellite precipitation can reflect the seasonal variation of precipitation in the Chungju Dam watershed. However, TMPA overestimates the amount of annual and monthly precipitation while GSMaP and CMORPH underestimate the precipitation during the period from 2002 to 2009. These biases of multi-satellite precipitation products induce poor performances in hydrological simulation, although TMPA is better than both of GSMaP and CMORPH. Our results indicate that advanced rainfall algorithms may be required to improve its hydrological applicability in South Korea.

Compost and gypsum can be used to ameliorate soil physicochemical properties in reclaimed tidal lands as an organic and inorganic amendment, respectively. To evaluate effects of compost and gypsum on soil water movement and retention as a soil physical property, we measured the soil's saturated hydraulic conductivity and field capacity after treating the soil collected in a reclaimed tidal land with compost and gypsum. Saturated hydraulic conductivity of soil increased when compost was applied at the conventional application rate of $30Mg\;ha^{-1}$. However, the further application of compost insignificantly (P > 0.05) increased saturated hydraulic conductivity. On the other hand, additional gypsum application significantly increased soil saturated hydraulic conductivity while it decreased soil field capacity, implying the possible effect of gypsum on flocculating soil colloidal particles. The results in this study suggested that compost and gypsum can be used to improve hydrological properties of reclaimed tidal lands through increasing soil water retention and movement, respectively.

Most of hydrological processes of groundwater recharge generally are occupied a rainfall, and recharged an aquifer along infiltrate into subsurface. These processes mainly have an influence by hydrological characteristics and topographic gradient of the aquifer. Development of water resources and its management is not good because of temporal and spatial disproportion in local rainfall. In order to deal with insufficiency of water resources from now on, development of groundwater dam requires a plan of a sustainable of new water resources. These are necessary that investigation of construction area of groundwater dam, effective groundwater development interconnected with surface water and groundwater, and assessment of an application of groundwater dam for utilization of water resources. Tn this study we were derived the input data by geological survey, hydraulic and hydrological analysis around Hoengchun-river, located in Hadong-gun, Gyeongsangnam Province where is a plan area for construction of groundwater dam. Based on input data we were carried out the interconnected analysis of surface water and groundwater using the SWAT-MODFLOW, and predicted groundwater fluctuation of its construction before and after.

This paper presents an application of drainage control and slope stability by GIS-based hydrological modeling to control the surface water from an operational point of view. This study was carried out on a region of Pasir open-pit coal mine, Indonesia. A detailed topographical survey was performed at the study area to generate a reliable DEM (Digital Elevation Model). Hydrology tools implemented in ArcGIS 9.1 were used to extract the characteristics of drainage system such as flow direction, flow accumulation and catchment area from DEM. The results of hydrological modeling and spatial analysis showed that current arrangement of pumping facility is not suitable and some vulnerable places to erosion exist on the bench face due to concentrated surface runoff. Finally, some practical measures were suggested to optimize the design of drainage system and to monitor the slope stability by the surface water management at the study region during heavy rainfall.

To estimate accurate design quantiles considering statistical characteristics of hydrological data is one of the most important procedures in the design of hydraulic structures. While at-site frequency analysis estimates design quantile using observed data at a site of interest, regional frequency analysis (RFA) utilizes a number of sites included in a hydrologically homogeneous region. Therefore, RFA could provide a more accurate design quantile at ungauged site or sites with short observation period. In this review article, RFA is classified into stationary RFA and nonstationary RFA depending on the characteristic of hydrological data, and the basic concept, procedure, and application of each technique are explained in detail focused on the index flood method. Additionally, a review of the state of the art for RFA procedure is presented. This paper is finalized by describing the stationary regional rainfall frequency analysis over South Korea contained in the amendment of "Standard guidelines for design flood estimation" and various future study topics related to nonstationary RFA.

수문학적 가뭄의 판단은 유출량과 저수지 수위 등을 비롯한 다양한 수문자료를 활용하여 가능하다. 가뭄판단을 위한 유량 자료로는 수위관측소 관측 유량, 유출모형을 통한 모의 유량 자료가 주로 활용된다. 최근에는 관측 유량 기반의 수문학적 가뭄 판단은 인위적인 용수 배분이 고려된 것이기 때문에 인간이 만든 수문학적 가뭄(Human-modified hydrological drought, 인위적 수문학적 가뭄)으로, 모의 유량 기반의 수문학적 가뭄 판단은 자연적인 수문과정이 반영된 자연유량을 활용한 것이기 때문에 기후영향 수문학적 가뭄(Climate-induced hydrological drought)이란 정의된다. 우리나라의 경우, 홍수기에 저류된 저수량을 비홍수기 동안, 특히 용수사용량이 많은 봄철 농번기에 활용하는 것이 수자원 관리의 기본방향이다. 따라서 우리가 직면하는 수문학적 가뭄은 대부분 댐 및 저류지에서의 용수 사용량 조절에 따라 영향을 받기 때문에, 기상인자가 직접적인 원인으로 작용되는 가뭄과는 다르다. 본 연구에서는 관측 유량과 자연유량 자료를 활용하여 위에서 정의된 두 종류의 수문학적 가뭄에 대하여 비교하고, 실제 발생되었던 가뭄 피해 정보와의 일치정도를 검토하였다. 가뭄의 판단은 각각의 가뭄지수를 표준유출량지수(Standardized Runoff Index, SRI)에 적용하며, 수정 Mann-Kendall 검증으로 두 지수들의 경향성을 비교하였다. 장기간의 관측 자료를 보유하고 있는 한강유역 일부지역에 적용한 결과 두 종류의 가뭄지수 모두 뚜렷한 경향성은 없으며, 댐 상류지역에서의 두 종류의 가뭄특성은 유사하게 나왔다. 하지만, 댐 하류지역에서는 인위적 수문학적 가뭄이 기후영향 수문학적 가뭄보다 발생빈도는 적으나, 지속기간은 약 한달 정도 짧고, 가뭄심도는 약 5~20 % 정도 증가하는 강도가 센가뭄이 발생되는 경향이 있음이 확인되었다. 이는 인위적인 용수 관리로, 약한 규모의 가뭄은 감소되고 있으나 큰 규모의 가뭄은 그 영향이 더 큰 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 해당 결과를 바탕으로 효율적인 용수 관리에 통하여 약한 가뭄 뿐만 아니라 대형 가뭄을 대비하기 위한 지속적인 노력이 필요함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 장기간의 관측 유량의 자료의 한계로 많은 지역에는 적용이 어려우나 해당 연구를 통하여 국내에서도 수문학적 가뭄의 개념을 재정립하고, 용수 공급 개념을 기반으로 하는 수문학적 가뭄 지수의 개발에 활용 가능할 것이다.

Gamma distributions are some of the most popular models for hydrological processes. In this paper, a very flexible family which contains the gamma distribution as a particular case is introduced. Evidence of flexibility is shown by examining the shape of its pdf and the associated hazard rate function. A comprehensive treatment of the mathematical properties is provided by deriving expressions for the nth moment, moment generating function, characteristic function, Renyi entropy and the asymptotic distribution of the extreme order statistics. Estimation and simulation issues are also considered. Finally, a detailed application to drought data from the State of Nebraska is illustrated.

In the flood season, the measurement of the river discharge has many restrictions due to reasons such as budget, manpower, safety, convenience in measurement and so on. In particular, when heavy rain events occur due to typhoons, etc., it is difficult to measure the amount of flood due to the above problems. In order to improve this problem, in this study, a method was developed that can measure the river discharge in a flood season simply and safely in a short time with minimal manpower by combining the functions of a drone and a surface velocity doppler radar. To overcome the mechanical limitations of drones caused by weather issues such as wind and rainfall derived from the measurement of the river discharge using the conventional drone, we developed a drone with P56 grade dustproof and waterproof performance, stable flight capability at a wind speed of up to 36 km/h, and a payload weight of up to 10 kg. Further, to eliminate vibration which is the most important constraint factor in the measurement with a surface velocity doppler radar, a damper plate was developed as a device that combines a drone and a surface velocity Doppler radar. The velocity meter DSVM (Dron and Surface Veloctity Meter using doppler radar) that combines the flight equipment with the velocity meter was produced. The error of ±3.5% occurred as a result of measuring the river discharge using DSVM at the point of Geumsan-gun (Hwangpunggyo) located at Bonghwang stream (the first tributary stream of the Geum River). In addition, when calculating the mean velocity from the measured surface velocity, the measurement was performed using ADCP simultaneously to improve accuracy, and the mean velocity conversion factor (0.92) was calculated by comparing the mean velocity. In this study, the discharge measured by combining a drone and a surface velocity meter was compared with the discharge measured using ADCP and floats, so that the application and utility of DSVM was confirmed.
