The objective of this study is to analyze the function of the paddy-field in purifying water quality. This study was carried out is based on the data in the six case studies. To improve purification function of paddy field, the following farming management is required. 1) A guideline to control the inlet and outlet of the paddy plot is need to minimize drainage water by means of a reasonable irrigation management. 2) A guideline for fertilizer application in consideration of loading nutrients dissolved in irrigation water. 3) The reuse system of agricultural drainage water is required to minimize impacts on water quality of surface water(reservoir and river).

In 1996, a cold-water damage occured in the paddy field at the downstream of the Umoon dam. To study the cause and the preventive measures of the cold-water damage a field study was performed during the growing season of 1997. Field measurements such as water temperatures at reservoir, irrigation canal and in the paddy field were made. As a result, there was no cold-water damage due to the right irrigation water management practice in 1997. The cold-water damage is possible to happen, however, and the preventive measures were provided.

This study was performed to apply the preventive management technique that is known for more economic and preventive for disaster than corrective technique to Repair & Improvement(R&I) Project policy of irrigational facilities. The appropriate periods of R&I Project had been driven to 40yrs, 24yrs, 27yrs, and 29yrs for reservoir, Pumping and drainage pumping station, Diversion weir and Irrigation & drainage canal respectively. The cost of R&I Project for 10 years had been estimated as 616.9 billion won per year including the 85 billion won for the project of 'Disaster prevention and Function continuity'. After the period of 'Improvement all at once', about 30yrs, 421.8 billion won was requested for 'Function continuity'.

This study aims to apply and compare flood routing methods for irrigation reservoirs. In this research, three methods, which are the storage indication method(SIM), the mass curve method(MCM), the frog method(FM) were adopted and applied to two storm events of July $9{\sim}10\;and\;22{\sim}23$ of Donghwa-dam and its watershed located on Jangsoo-gun, Chunnam province. As the application results MCM showed the highest value at peak overflow and goodness-of-fit to the observed value, although the others also had similar value with the observed one. In analyzing lag time of peak between inflow and overflow MCM and SIM showed 7 hours, while FM showed 6 hours for the first storm event, and all three methods showed 3 hours for the second event.

The aim of this study is to evaluate 3 types of sedimentation basins: dredging, shield skirt and auxiliary dam, constructed at inlets of two irrigation reservoir and to estimate the most beneficial type and fitted size, SAR(surface to area ratio), for pollutant removal efficiency(RE). For this, RE of major water quality items and change of physicochemical properties in sediments before and post construction of sedimentation basin(SB) were investigated. RE depended on SB types, water quality items and survey times with wide range from $-87\%$ to $92\%$. Long term overall removal efficiency by ROC(regression of concentration) method were $18\%$ in dredging, $29\%$ in shield skirt and $42\%$ in auxiliary dam type. There was a change of physicochemical properties in sediments at auxiliary dam type, while a slight change at dredging and shield skirt type. In comparison to RE, SAR and hydraulic retention time at 3 types of SB, auxiliary dam type was the most beneficial one. Thus, it is recommended that SB would be constructed in completely separated structure from water body of a reservoir with SAR ranged from 0.7 to $1.0\%.$

The increasing frequency of droughts has been increasing the necessity of utilizing subsurface dams as reliable groundwater resources in areas where it is difficult to supply adequate agricultural water using only surface water. In this study, we analyzed the current status and actual conditions of five agricultural subsurface dams as well as the effect of obtaining additional groundwater from subsurface dams operated as one aspect of the sustainable integrated water management system. Based on the construction methods and functions of each subsurface dam, the five subsurface dams are classified into three types such as those that derive water from rivers, those that prevent seawater intrusion, and those that link to a main irrigation canal. The classification is based on various conditions including topography, reservoir location, irrigation facilities, and river and alluvial deposit distributions. Agricultural groundwater upstream of subsurface dams is obtained from four to five radial collector wells. From the study, the total amount of groundwater recovered from the subsurface dam is turned out to be about 29~44% of the total irrigation water demand, which is higher than that of general agricultural groundwater of about 4.6%.

This study aimed to establish a field observation system for monitoring tempo-spatially precise changes of groundwater level and to analyze the impact of rainfall and irrigation practices on groundwater changes in paddy regions. The monitoring system comprising of all nine groundwater observation wells and four ponding depth sensors was installed in a part of paddy regions benefited from Gosam reservoir, Ansung-si. The result of grundwater level change during the irrigation period in 2002 was averagely 0.51 m higher than that during the non-irrigation period. In particular between March before puddling and June after transplanting, there was maximum 1.23 m rise in groundwater level. On the other hand, concerning the change in ponding depth, groundwater level changed similarly, and hourly rainfall was revealed to have better correlation with 24-hour delayed hourly groundwater level than with the corresponding groundwater level. Eventually, this study could be referenced for further studies to set up a more comprehensive and sustainable monitoring system of groundwater conditions.

In spite of considerable advances in water quality control measures within lake, many basic questions concerning an eutrophication still remains unanswered and it becomes obvious that an extensive limnological database is needed for the inter-comparison between bodies of water and for the assessment of the status of lake water quality. In order to diagnose the water environment and assess the changes of the water quality, Wangkung irrigation reservoir was investigated by a long-term monitoring program for the physical, chemical and biological water quality parameters. In addition, these data was used to determine the design elements of natural purification facilities.

The basic concept of the model is to minimize the error range between forecasted flood inflow and actual flood inflow, and forecast accurately the flood discharge some hours in advance depending on the concentration time(Tc) and soil moisture retention storage(Sa). Simplex method that is a multi-level optimization technique was used to search for the determination of the best parameters of RETFLO (REal-Time FLOod forecasting) model. The flood forecasting model developed was applied to several strom event of Yedang reservoir during past 10 years. Model perfomance was very good with relative errors of 10% for comparison of total runoff volume and with one hour delayed peak time.

Multivariate statistical analysis was applied to 110 dam heightening reservoir to classify the building conditions for waterfront centered around cultivated area using data of land cover, landscape, additional water quantity, local economic, tourism resources, and accessibility related variables. Five factors were extracted through factor analysis based on eigen value criteria of more than one. These five factors together account for 68.2% of the total variance. Characteristics of five factors for the downstream of dam heightening reservoirs are building conditions of waterfront, economic conditions, additional water quantity, eco-tours, and accessibility of tourism resources respectively. Five clusters were classified through cluster analysis based on factor score. The classified result shows that third cluster has remunerative terms for building waterfront.
