A macro spreadsheet model, WEANES (Wet Pond Annual Efficiency Simulation Model), has been developed to predict the long-term or annual removal efficiencies of wet retention/detention basins. The model uses historical, site-specific, multi-year, rainfall data, usually available from a nearby National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) climatological station to estimate basin efficiencies which are calculated based on annual mass loads. Other required input parameters are: 1) watershed parameters; drainage area, pervious curve number, directly connected impervious area, and ti me of concentration, 2) pond parameters; control and overflow elevations, pond side slopes, surface areas at control elevation and pond bottom; 3) outlet structure parameters; 4) pollutant event mean concentrations; and 5) pond loss rate which is defined as the net loss due to evaporation, infiltration and water reuse. The model offers default options for parameters such as pollutant event mean concentrations and pond loss rate. The model can serve as a design, planning, and permitting tool for consulting engineers, planners and government regulators.

A wind tunnel experiment was performed with the design wind speed of 50m/s to investigate the wind forces of Ieodo Ocean Research Station. The structure portion above water surface was modelled with 1/80 scale ratio. The wind force coefficients were determined from the force signals and compared to the results of a numerical study which was separately undertaken. Those results generally agreed well, and it is assured that the experimental data can be effectively used in the wind resistant design of the structure. Making use of the experimental force and pressure coefficients, the wind farce and moments acting on the overall upper structure of prototype are determined together with the wind pressures on local impervious facilities (main deck, solar panel and helideck).

The recent emphasis on ecological urban development has led to the need to maintain a hydrologic cycle in urban areas. As such, this study proposes decentralized rainwater management, a concept of onsite rainwater management that involves the utilization, infiltration, detention, and retention of rainwater. The main objective of this research is to estimate the proportion of decentralized rainwater management that is needed. From the research that was conducted in this study, it was found that the total runoff quantity increases by 10-20% after district lands are developed, when the probable rate of precipitation every 10 years is within this range. Thus, the runoff rate can be reduced by 10~20% of the total runoff quantity through decentralization. On the other hand, in the scale of housing complex development, the total runoff quantity increases by as much as 10~40% due to the changes in the rate of the impervious surface area. If 10-40% of the total runoff quantity was processed through decentralized rainwater management, the rate of infiltration, detention, retention, and runoff in precipitation prior to development could be recovered.

불투수층은 자연적인 침투를 허용하지 않는 인위적인 토지피복상태로 도시화율 추정 및 유역의 환경변화 정도를 분석하기 위한 척도로 사용되어 왔다. 특히, 수문학적 관점에서 불투수층은 단기 유출현상에 큰 영향을 끼치는 요소로 불투수율이 증가할수록 침투량이 감소하여 첨두유출량은 증가하고 도달시간은 짧아진다. 최근에는 급속한 도시화로 인해 불투수층의 영향이 더욱 커짐에 따라 불투수율의 추정에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 현재까지 위성영상을 이용한 불투수층의 추정은 고해상도 영상을 이용하여 피복분류를 수행하였다. 즉, 분류된 토지피복에 근거하여 불투수율을 산술적으로 계산하거나 분광혼합기법 및 회귀 트리기법 등 다양한 방법에 적용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 Sub-pixel 분류기법을 위성영상에 적용하여 섬강유역의 불투수율을 추정하고자 한다. Sub-pixel 분류는 기존 분류기법들이 다양한 토지피복이 혼합된 화소에 대해서도 가장 비중이 높은 토지피복 하나로 분류하던 것을 개선한 방법으로 fuzzy 이론을 적용하여 최소 20% 이상의 비율을 점유하는 항목 모두를 구분하여 분류하는 기법이다. 이를 위해 섬강유역의 Landsat TM 영상을 수집하고 환경부의 토지피복도와 지질도를 참조하여 트레이닝 자료를 수집하였다. 또한 결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 구름은 전처리를 통하여 제거하고 수집된 트레이닝 자료에 Sub-pixel 분류기법을 적용하여 섬강유역의 불투수율을 공간분포도로 작성하였다.

The increase of impervious surface and development along the river due to urbanization not only causes an increase in the number of associated flood risk factors but also exacerbates flood damage, leading to difficulties in flood management. Flood control measures should be prioritized based on various geographical information in urban areas. In this study, a probabilistic flood hazard assessment was applied to flood-prone areas near an urban river. Flood hazard maps were alternatively considered and used to describe the expected inundation areas for a given set of predictors such as elevation, slope, runoff curve number, and distance to river. This study proposes a Bayesian logistic regression-based flood risk model that aims to provide a probabilistic risk metric such as population-at-risk (PAR). Finally, the logistic regression model demonstrates the probabilistic flood hazard maps for the entire area.

On the urban scale, Micro-climate analysis models for urban scale have been developed to investigate the atmospheric characteristics in urban surface in detail and to predict the micro-climate change due to the changes in urban structure. BioCAS (Biometeorological Climate Impact Assessment System) is a system that combines such analysis models and has been implemented internally in the Korea Meteorological Administration. One of role in this system is the analysis of the health impact by heat waves in urban area. In this study, the vegetation cooling models A and B were developed and linked with BioCAS and evaluated by the temperature drop at the vegetation areas during ten selected heat-wave days. Smaller prediction errors were found as a result of applying the vegetation cooling models to the heat-wave days. In addition, it was found that the effects of the vegetation cooling models produced different results according to the distribution of vegetation area in land cover near each observation site - the improvement of the model performance on temperature analysis was different according to land use at each location. The model A was better fitted where the surrounding vegetation ratio was 50% or more, whereas the model B was better where the vegetation ratio was less than 50% (higher building and impervious areas). Through this study, it should be possible to select an appropriate vegetation cooling model according to its fraction coverage so that the temperature analysis around built-up areas would be improved.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of various spatial characteristics on the land surface temperature and to grasp the characteristics of thermal environment by types of urban area in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do. The spatial data were consisted LST, normalized difference built-up index(NDBI) and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI) obtained from Landsat 5 TM and land use and land cover map classified from high resolution digital aerial photograph($10cm{\times}10cm$). The unit space for spatial analysis was built by $500m{\times}500m$ Vector GRID. According to the results of estimation of relationship between thermal environment and spatial characteristics, LST had the highest positive correlation with NDBI by 0.929 and had high positive correlation with impervious area ratio by 0.857. In order to analysis of thermal environment on land use, types of urban area were classified by 4 of residential focus area, industrial focus area, green focus area and mixed area. According to the results of analysis, mean LST of industrial focus area was showed the highest by $21.10^{\circ}C$. But mean LST of green focus area was analyzed the lowest by $18.85^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, the results of this study investigated the effects of spatial characteristics on urban thermal environment and can provide methods and basic informations about land use planning and development density restriction for reduction of urban heat.

This study aims to investigate stream drying phenomena and determine ecological flow in upper Jungnangcheon basin(118.2 km²) of Han River basin. Satellite imagery was used to compare historical and current land cover, and field surveys, including fish surveys, were conducted to assess stream drying conditions. Satellite image analysis revealed a significant increase in impervious surface area due to the expansion of residential and commercial areas. Streamflow and water quality measurements at Hannae Bridge in study area during the dry season showed and average minimum flow of 1.39 m³/sec and elevated SS levels, indicating poor water quality for T-P and TOC. The representative fish species in the study area was P.herzi. Optimal habitat suitability index for depth, velocity, and substrate were 0.3~0.5 m, 0.1~0.3 m/sec, and sand, respectively. Using PHABSIM, the ecological flow for the study area was estimated as 1.00 m³/sec. The derived ecological flow can be used as a reference flow for stream drying mitigation strategies.
