The possibility of water transfer from Han river basin to Nakdong river basin by connecting them is studied as an alternative to solve water shortage problem in Nakdong river basin. After estimating the amount of water shortage from Nakdong river basin, the amount of water surplus from Han river basin is estimated by using simulation and optimization techniques. HEC-5 is used to study small to medium size reservoirs as a simulation technique and dynamic programming is used to study multi-purpose reserviors as an optimization technique. Also, the cost of the interbasin water transfer from Han river basin to Nakdong river basin is also compared with that of constructing new reserviors in Nakdong river basin. If new reservoirs are constructed in Nakdong river basin as planned, water supply can satisfy various water demands until 2021 without the interbasin water transfer. In economic point of view, constructing new reserviors has an advantage over the interbasin water transfer.
