The newly-developed method for estimating the instream flow, proposed by the authors (1996), was applied to the main channel reach of the Kum River basin in Korea. Performance of the suggested method was tested through the evaluations of the required flow, instream flow, and river-management flow which were estimated at five main reaches with each representative station. The mean drought flow was used as the object flow to evaluate the minimum instream flow for the mid- and large-size rivers. Water quality prediction by using the QUAL2E model was made for both cases that the planned wastewater treatment facilities may and may not be constructed. The required flow for the fish habitat was evaluated for 9 representative fish species. The instream flows required for the riverine aesthetics at Kong-ju and Puyo scenary points, for river navigation at natural channel conditions, and for current and potential recreation activities were evaluated, respectively. The instream flows required for other items are not quantified. On the whole, it is shown that the instream flow to maintain the natural riverine functions such as fish habitat, and riverine aesthetics govern the upstream reaches of the Kum River, and the artificial riverine functions such as conservation of water quality, navigation and recreations govern the middle and downstream reaches. Especially, it is found that the instream flow requirement depends largely upon the construction of wastewater treatment facilities at the Kum River basin.

The flow duration curves in the present and the ideal hydrologic cycle were derived using SWAT model. The present situation is the landuse and the groundwater withdrawal in the year of 2000 and the ideal situation is the landuse of 1975 and no groundwater withdrawal. These results were compared with the previous instream flow requirements which are the larger flow between the average drought flow and environmental control flow. As a result, the present and ideal drought flows of Ojeoncheon, Hakuicheon, Samseongcheon, and Sammakcheon, were the same and the drought flows of Samseongcheon and Sammakcheon were even zero since the baseflow is very little due to the small and mountainous watersheds. The previous instream flow requirement for the riverine function is also larger than the low flow of the ideal hydrologic cycle. The present method to set the instream flow requirement is not proper for the small mountainous watershed since it can be usually overestimated and drive the artificial measures to secure the streamflow Therefore, another method should be developed such as the low flow and the average flow between the drought flow and the low flow of the ideal hydrologic cycle using the proper hydrologic simulation model such as SWAT which can consider the landuse.

This study was performed to analyze the affect of water supply capacity followed by allocating flood control volume in heightening reservoir, of which Baekgog reservoir was selected as a case study in here. Baekgog reservoir is located in Jincheon county, Chungbuk province, of which full water level will be heightened from EL. 100. 1m to EL. 102.1m, and total storage from 21.75M $m^3$ to 26.67M $m^3$. Flood inflow with 200year frequency was estimated to 997 $m^3$/s in peak flow and 22.54M $m^3$ in total volume. Reservoir flood routing was conducted to determine flood limited water levels, which was determined to have scenarios such as EL 97-98-99m in periods of 6.21.-7.20., 7.21.-8.20., and 8.21.-9.20., respectively, EL 97-97-97m, EL 98-98-98m in present reservoir, and EL 99-100-101m, EL 99-99-99m, and EL 100-100-100m in heightened reservoir. Reservoir inflow was simulated by DAWAST model. Annual paddy irrigation requirement was estimated to 33.19M $m^3$ to 2,975ha. Instream flow was allocated to 0.14mm/d from October to April. Operation rule curve was drawn using inflow, irrigation and instream flow requirements data. In case of withdrawal limit reservoir operation using operation rule curve, reduction rates of annual irrigation supply before and after flood control by reservoir were 2.0~4.3% in present size and 1.5~3.6% in heightened size. Reliability on water supply was decreased from 77.3% to 63.6~68.2% in present size and from 81.6% to 72.7~79.5% in heightened size. And reduction rates of water storage at the end of year before and after flood control by reservoir were 7.3~16.5% in present size and 7.7~16.9% in heightened size. But water supplies were done without any water deficiency through withdrawal limit reservoir operation in spite of low flood regulating water level.

Multi-purpose dams in Korea play a very important role in water management such as supplying water for living, industrial water, and discharging instream flow requirement to maintain the functions of river. However, the vulnerability of dam water supply has been increased due to extreme weather events that are possible linked to climate change. This study attempts to project the future dam inflow of six multi-purpose dams by using dynamically downscaled climate change scenarios with high resolution. It is found that the high flows are remarkably increased under global warming, regardless of basins and climate models. In contrast, the low flows for Soyangang dam, Chungju dam, and Andong dam that dam inflow are originated from Taebaek mountains are significantly decreased. On the other hand, while the low flow of Hapcheon dam is shown to increase, those of Daecheong and Sumjingang dams have little changes. But, the low flows for future period have wide ranges and the minimum value of low flows are decreased for all dams except for Hapcheon dam. Therefore, it is necessary to establish new water management policy that can respond to extreme water shortages considering climate change.

하천의 정상적인 기능 및 상태를 유지하기 위하여 필요한 최소유량을 의미하는 하천유지유량은 하천수질보전, 하천생태계보호, 하천경관보전, 염수침입 방지, 하구막힘 방지, 하천시설물 및 취수원보호, 지하수위 유지 등을 감안하여 산정하게 된다. 하천유량 변화는 하천내 동 식물에 영향을 미치며, 특히 고등 생물인 어류의 서식처, 산란장소 및 산란조건 등은 유량 및 수위변화에 민감하게 반응하므로 하천구간별 어류의 서식처 유지에 적절한 수심, 유속 등 수리 조건을 제공할 수 있는 유량을 산정하게 된다. 국내에서는 90년대 후반부터 생태계를 고려한 하천유지유량 개념이 도입되었으며, 어류의 적절한 수생 서식환경 평가를 위해 주로 유량 점증 방법론(IFIM, Instream Flow Incremental Methodology) 개념에 입각한 물리서식처 모형을 이용한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강수계 13개 지점을 선정하여 어류상 조사를 실시하여 어류의 물리서식처 모형과 수심-유속-유량 관계곡선을 이용한 간단법을 이용하여 생태계 보전을 위한 필요유량을 산정하였다. 어류 물리서식처 모형으로는 어류서식환경 평가에 가장 광범위하게 이용되고, 생태적 특성을 반영할 수 있는 유량점증방법론의 PHABSIM(Physical HABitat SIMulation) 모형을 선택하였다. 현장 모니터링 및 문헌조사를 통해 각 지점별 대표어종을 선정하고, 유량, 수심, 저수로 하천단면, 하상재료와 같은 수리특성을 조사하고, 선정된 한계단면에 대한 유량측정을 실시하였으며, 수심-유속-유량 관계곡선을 통하여 각 지점의 대표어종이 서식할 수 있는 최소유량을 산정하였다. 또한 지점별로 서식처 적합도 지수(HSI, Habitat Suitability Index)와 가중가용면적(WUA, Weighted Usable Area)를 산정하였으며, 이는 PHABSIM 모형의 적용에 이용되었다. 물리서식처 모형과 간단법 적용결과를 비교해본 결과, 모든 지점에서 물리서식처 모형 적용결과가 간단법에 비해 크게 산정되었는데, 이는 간단법이 성어기 서식에 필요한 최소 수리조건을 선택하였지만, PHABSIM의 경우 성어기 어류서식의 최적 수심 및 유속을 이용하여 가중가용면적을 산정하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 어류서식과 관련된 많은 관련 데이터가 축적된다면 어류서식처에 맞는 최적의 생태유량을 보다 정확하게 산정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 안양천 중상류 유역에 대해 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 현재(2000년)의 토지이용 및 지하수 취수량(2000년)을 토대로 유황곡선을 도출하고 개발이전의 토지이용(1975년)과 지하수 취수가 전혀 없는 이상적인 상태에서 유황곡선을 도출하여 비교분석하였다. 또한 기존의 갈수량과 항목별 필요유량을 비교하여 큰 값으로 하천유지유량을 설정한 것과 본 연구에서 수행한 유황들을 비교하였다. 그 결과 오전, 삼성, 삼막, 수암천의 경우 현재의 상태와 이상적인 상태의 갈수량이 전혀 변화하지 않음을 보였으며 삼성, 삼막천은 두 경우 모두 갈수량이 0임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 대상유역의 유역면적이 작은 지방2급 하천일 뿐만 아니라 경사가 급한 산간지역이 대부분을 이루어서 개발 전에도 기저유출이 많지 않았기 때문이다. 또한 하천유지유량을 항목별 필요유량으로 산정한 경우는 모든 유역에서 이상적인 상황의 저수량보다 큰 값을 보였다. 따라서 지방2급 하천과 같이 유역면적이 작거나 산지하천의 경우에도 일률적으로 갈수량이나 항목별 필요유량을 비교하여 큰 값으로 하천유지유량을 설정하기보다는 수문모의모형을 이용하여 대상유역에 대해 자연적인 상황에서의 갈수량 또는 저수량 등 다른 적절한 방안을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다.

The Hoelyongpo in the Naeseong River as tributary basin of the Nakdong River is broadly well-known a tourist attraction, which is made of sandy beach, and is called "Island of Inland". But Construction of the Dam was planned at upstream of river. In other words, an influx of sediment is blocked from upstream of river. In this situation, through sediment discharge coming from tributary of the Naeseong river, the whether to go ahead of sand beach of the Hoelyongpo is analyzed by using 1-D and 2-D model. The sediment discharge is estimated through ratio raw with basin area, and the instream flow requirement of river coming from dam and the flow rate and sediment coming from tributary are inputted for model. The 1-D model uses HEC-6 and the 2-D model uses SMS(RMA2 and SED2D). The analysis using the HEC-6 is performed from cross section data 10 year ago to the present cross section. Consequently, Yang equation presenting similar result to the present cross section data is determined, using this, the prediction is conducted for the cross section after 20 years. The 2-D analysis is conducted for the present cross section data. The value of distinction between a deposition and erosion with the results presented in the 1, 2-D models is occur, however, the appearance between the deposition and the erosion is similar.

This study was performed to ascertain the possibility of securing inflows to reservoir with low ratio of watershed to paddy field areas by outside diversion weir. The case of Maengdong reservoir and Samryong diversion weir was selected. Most of inflows to Maengdong reservoir with watershed area of $7.06\;km^2$ and total storage capacity of $1,269{\times}10^4\;m^3$ are filled with intake water from outside Samryong diversion weir. Only using water storage data in Maengdong reservoir from 1991 to 2009, the range of water intake in Samryong diversion weir to Maengdong reservoir was optimized to 0.135~30 mm/d, from which water intake to Maengdong reservoir was $1,672.9{\times}10^4\;m^3$ (70.1 %) and downstream outflow to Weonnam reservoir was $714.4{\times}10^4\;m^3$ (29.9 %). The parameters of DAWAST model for reservoir inflow were determined to UMAX of 313.8 mm, LMAX 20.3 mm, FC 136.8 mm, CP 0.018, and CE 0.007. Inflows to Maengdong reservoir were $427.1{\times}10^4\;m^3$ (20.3 %) from inside watershed, and $1,672.9{\times}10^4\;m^3$ (79.7 %) from outside. Paddy irrigation water requirements were estimated to $1,549{\times}10^4\;m^3$ on annual average. Operation rule curve was drawn by using daily inflow and irrigation requirement data. By securing the amount of inflow to Maengdong reservoir to about 80 % from outside Samryong diversion weir, water supply capacity for irrigation of $1,549{\times}10^4\;m^3/yr$ was analyzed to be enough. Additional water supplies for instream flow were analyzed to $1,412\;m^3/d$ in normal reservoir operation, $36,000\;m^3/d$ in withdrawal limit operation by operation rule curve from October to March of non irrigation period.
