  • We present the results of new multi-color CCD photometry for the contact binary XZ Leo, together with reasonable explanations for the period and light variations. Six new times of minimum light have been determined. A period study with all available timings confirms Qian's (2001) finding that the O-C residuals have varied secularly according to $dP/dt\;=\;+8.20{\times}10^{-8}\;d\;yr^{-l}$. This trend could be interpreted as a conservative mass transfer from the less massive cool secondary to the more massive hot primary in the system with a mass flow rate of about $5.37{\times}10^{-8}\;M_{\odot}\;yr^{-l}$. By simultaneous analysis of our light curves and the previously published radial-velocity data, a consistent set of light and velocity parameters for XZ Leo is obtained. The small differences between the observed and theoretical light curves are modelled by a blue third light and by a hot spot near the neck of the primary component. Our period study does not support the tertiary light but the hot region which may be formed by gas streams from the cool secondary. The solution indicates that XZ Leo is a deep contact binary with the values of q=0.343, $i=78^{\circ}.8$, ${\Delta}(T_1-T_2)=126\;K$, and f=33.6 %, differing much from those of Niarchos et al. (1994). Absolute parameters of XZ Leo are determined as follows: $M_1=1.84\;M_{\odot},\;M_2=0.63\;M_{\odot},\;R_1=1.75\;R_{\odot},\;R_2=1.10\;R_{\odot},\;L_1=7.19\;L_{\odot},\;and\;L_2=2.66\;L_{\odot}$.

  • The creation of favorable water space, in our living circumferential space, is very important factor to offer rural scenery to neighbor residents. We are to introduce stream landscape arrangement technique considering favorable water environment against conventional methods. In this study, the modeling district is Seungdu small stream of Ansung river system in Pyung-Teak city, Kyonggi province, and we carried out stream landscape simulation. The arranging plans of landscape are classified ti three types. The first one is conservation type of ecological environment that can express natural characteristics of stream inherence, raise variety of living things and construct coexisting environment between human beings and the other living things. The secong one is favorable water approach type. The basic object of this type is space construction for easy approach to waterside and increase of comfortable feelings of spectators. The third one is water utilization/flood control management type. In planning of environmentally favorable landscape arrangement, this type is the most important but is likely to be ignored. This type is an arranging plan of stream landscape considering safety. Also, we developed Streams Landscape Simulation System(SLSS). This program can be used for comparison of original landscape image with simulated one. To apply SLSS on the interested stream, landscape simulation that is based on hydraulic characteristics, runoff, flow direction, detailed conditions of basin and ecosystem of stream have to be executed. In this point, developing a stereographical technique of image processing and exact study of applying plan have to be executed continually.

  • Typical of large, oligotrophic lakes, Lake H$\ddot{o}$vsg$\ddot{o}$l, Mongolia, exhibits complex morphometry which should support a spatially heterogeneous community of benthic macroinvertrates. The lake also exhibits a broad range of land uses. Based on the variation in land use and complex physical habitat of the lake (e.g. substrate variation and presence of affluent streams in bays), we asked two questions. First, does density of total benthic macroinvertebrates vary between different bays in Lake H$\ddot{o}$vsg$\ddot{o}$l? Second, does density of individual benthic taxa vary by bay? Samples collected in 1997, the last year for benthic sampling of the lake, were designed to test for variation in macroinvertebrate density between bays and can now be used to establish baseline variation in density for future studies. A total of 56 Ponar grab samples were analyzed from six bays in Lake H$\ddot{o}$vsg$\ddot{o}$l. Results of a general linear model analysis of variance showed that total density of macroinvertebrates varied only slightly between bays of the lake, but that most individual taxa showed significant variation between bays. Variation in density for most taxa was linked to substrate composition rather than other geographic or physical variables in the lake. Recent increases in grazing intensity and ecotourism along the shores should be managed to reduce the nutrient load into the lake to avoid impairment of the benthic biota of this unique, ancient ecosystem.

  • Flume experiments are conducted to describe the channel morphology at a tributary junction and to examine the influence of channel arrangements and hydrologic conditions on the channel morphology. When flow momenta of two tributaries are equal, a receiving stream tends to align with an axis bisecting junction angle. It causes lateral migration of a receiving stream according to an initial channel arrangement. As a result, the post-fonfluent channel morphology varies with plan geometry of a confluence such as symmetry, transition and asymmetry. Bed scour is the most notable morphology within a junction site. Its shape is characterized by steep walls which are primarily influenced by junction angle. Key control of scour dimension is also junction angle. Although the principle of accordant junction has been undoubtedly accepted, discordance is commonly developed at model and natural stream confluences. Unit discharge ratio of confluent streams is the most crucial factor because both discharge and sediment concentration ratios have an effect on discordance at a junction.

  • The SWAT(Soil and Water Assesment Tool) is a relatively large scale model for the complicated watershed or river basin. The model was developed to predict the effect of land management practices on water, sediment and agricultural chemical yields in large complex watershed with varying soils, land use and management conditions over long periods of time. Usually streams are divided into urban stream and natural stream in accordance with the development level. In case of urban stream, according to urbanization, as impermeable areas are increasing due to the change of land use condition and land cover condition, dry stream phenomenon at urban stream is rapidly progressed. In this study, long term run-off simulations in urban stream are performed by using SWAT model. Especially, the model is applied in small scale water shed, Joman River basin. The optimization by the sensitivity analysis is also performed for the model parameter estimations.

  • The Doam Lake watershed is one of the non-point source management areas announced by the Ministry of Environment, and is a constant problem for the stream ecosystem dut to Storm water. In this study, a total of 48(rainfall) and 47(non-rainfall) sites were investigated for the entire watershed (Samyangcheon, Chahangcheon, Hoenggyecheon, Yongpyeongcheon, Songcheon, Lake Doam) on August 15, 2019 and on October 18, 2019 to estimate the source of turbid water in the Doam Lake watershed. Subsequently, water quality analysis was performed on Suspended Soild (SS), Turbidity, Total Phosphorus (TP), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Biochemical Oxygen Demands (BOD) and correlation among water quality parameters was analyzed based on the analyzed samples. As a result, most of the turbid water generated during rainfall was in highland fields. During rainfall, Hoengyecheon had the highest average SS concentration among all streams, and during non-rainfall, the average SS concentration was highest in Yongpyeongcheon, so the two stream were selected as vulnerable areas. However, since Yongpyeongcheon may be a temporary phenomenon due to river construction, additional continuous monitoring is required. Therefore, in the Doam Lake watershed, intensive management is required for vulnerable areas.

  • New Zealand suffers from regular floods, these being the most common source of insurance claims for damage from natural hazard events in the country. This paper describes the origin and distribution of the largest floods in New Zealand, and describes the systems used to monitor and predict floods. In New Zealand, broad-scale heavy rainfall (and flooding), is the result of warm moist air flowing out from the tropics into the mid-latitudes. There is no monsoon in New Zealand. The terrain has a substantial influence on the distribution of rainfall, with the largest annual totals occurring near the South Island's Southern Alps, the highest mountains in the country. The orographic effect here is extreme, with 3km of elevation gained over a 20km distance from the coast. Across New Zealand, short duration high intensity rainfall from thunderstorms also causes flooding in urban areas and small catchments. Forecasts of severe weather are provided by the New Zealand MetService, a Government owned company. MetService uses global weather models and a number of limited-area weather models to provide warnings and data streams of predicted rainfall to local Councils. Flood monitoring, prediction and warning are carried out by 16 local Councils. All Councils collect their own rainfall and river flow data, and a variety of prediction methods are utilized. These range from experienced staff making intuitive decisions based on previous effects of heavy rain, to hydrological models linked to outputs from MetService weather prediction models. No operational hydrological models are linked to weather radar in New Zealand. Councils provide warnings to Civil Defence Emergency Management, and also directly to farmers and other occupiers of flood prone areas. Warnings are distributed by email, text message and automated voice systems. A nation-wide hydrological model is also operated by NIWA, a Government-owned research institute. It is linked to a single high resolution weather model which runs on a super computer. The NIWA model does not provide public forecasts. The rivers with the greatest flood flows are shown, and these are ranked in terms of peak specific discharge. It can be seen that of the largest floods occur on the West Coast of the South Island, and the greatest flows per unit area are also found in this location.

  • 본 연구에서는 자연하천에서 Rhodamine-WT를 이용하여 추적자 실험을 수행하고 이를 바탕으로 오염사고대응예측모델에 대한 검증을 실시하고자 하였다. 최근 국내에서는 다양한 형태와 규모의 수질오염사고가 매년 수십건 이상 발생하고 있으며, 따라서 수치모형 기반의 수질오염 사고 대응 예측시스템에 대한 높은 신뢰성이 요구되고 있다. 수질사고에 노출되어 있는 지표수를 각종 용수로서 안전하게 공급하기 위해서는 정확한 수질예측이 필수적이며, 이를 위해서 수십 년간 연구되어 온 수질모델을 오염사고 대응예측시스템에 적합하도록 정확성과 신뢰성을 갖추기 위한 연구가 진행되어야 한다. 수치 모형을 이용한 물질의 이송 및 확산 모의에서는 오염물질 도달시간과 확산 농도를 결정하는 것이 가장 중요한 요소이므로 이송 및 확산 모의에 대한 검증 기법 개발 및 적용이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강수계 지류하천인 감천에서 추적자 실험을 4회 실시하여 측정한 수리량과 농도 실측치를 이용하여 분산계수를 종 횡분산계수 산정이 가능한 2차원 유관추적법을 적용하여 산정하였다. 각 단면에 유속은 ADV-3차원 유속계인 Flow-Tracker를 사용하여 도섭으로 측정하였으며 하천의 흐름 방향의 직각으로 측선을 설치하고 펌프를 이용하여 채수를 한 다음 Rhodamie WT의 농도를 측정하였으며 측선의 위치 보정은 GPS를 통하여 보정하였다. 측정 자료를 이용하여 2차원 유관추적법으로 분산계수를 산정한 결과 각각의 측선에 따라서 다소 차이가 발생하였으며, 일부 구간에서는 이론식으로 계산한 분산계수와 근사한 값이 나타났다. 이는 사주가 매우 발달하고 만곡이 많은 실험구간의 특성상 Elder와 Fischer 식으로 계산한 값과 차이가 발생할 가능성이 높은 구간이기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 하폭에 대한 수심비가 커질수록 분산계수도 증가하고 평균유속에 대한 전단유속에 비에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다.

  • In-stream vegetation is an essential element of a stream channel. Vegetation plays an important role in flood control and the natural environment in stream channels. This research investigates the relationship between in-stream vegetation and stream changes. This study investigates the distribution characteristic of vegetation in some rivers of Korea. Although there are many physical factors that cause changes to streams, this research verified that in-stream vegetation caused sediment deposition. A hydraulic model experiment was conducted. Tests were conducted in a simulated gravel bed stream (bed slope 1/200) with Phragmites japonica. The average diameter of the bed load used was 0.3 mm and 27 kg were uniformly supplied for 1 hour under same hydraulic conditions. The deposition and scouring as well as the change of flow differed according to the density and arrangement of the Phragmites japonica. In-stream vegetation and stream channel change are closely related because deposition and scouring affects the distribution of vegetation.

  • 오염원과 취수장이 동일 구간 내에 공존하는 국내하천의 특성상, 하천 평면 내에서 오염물의 거동 및 혼합 특성을 보다 정확하게 해석하기 위해서는 2차원 이송-분산 모형의 적용이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 2차원 모형의 주요 매개변수인 종분산계수와 횡분산계수의 적절한 입력이 매우 중요하다. 하지만 국내외적으로 횡분산계수에 대한 연구는 많이 진행된 반면, 현재까지 종분산계수에 대한 연구는 충분히 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 분산계수를 결정하는 방법에는 실측된 농도 자료의 유무에 따라 크게 두 가지로 분류된다. 실측된 농도 자료가 없는 경우, 이론식이나 경험식을 이용하는 방법이 있다. 반면에 추적자 실험 등을 수행하여 실측된 농도 자료가 있는 경우, 모멘트법 또는 추적법을 적용하여 농도-시간 분포 곡선으로부터 분산계수를 계산하는 것이다. 모멘트법은 임의 지점에서 농도의 횡분포를 통해 얻을 수 있는 2차 모멘트의 종방향 변화율이 횡분산계수와 비례한다는 원리를 이용한 것이며, 추적법은 상류부의 관측된 농도를 입력자료로 하여 하류부의 농도를 계산한 후 계산된 농도와 실측된 하류부 농도의 비교를 통해 분산계수를 산정하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 불규칙한 단면 형상을 가지는 자연하천에서의 2차원 종 횡분산계수를 산정하기 위해서 Baek & Seo(2010)가 제안한 2차원 유관추적법(2D Stream-tube Routing Procedure)을 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내 자연하천 중 다양한 사행형태를 갖으며 수질오염 사고의 위험이 높은 구간을 선정하고, 추적자로서 Rhodamine WT를 이용하여 현장실험을 수행하였다. 실험에서 수집된 수리량 및 농도자료로부터 추적자의 2차원적 거동을 분석하였으며, 2차원 유관추적법을 적용하여 종분산계수를 산정하였다. 그 결과 하폭 대 수심비(W/H)와 마찰손실관련 무차원변수(U/U*)의 증가에 따라 종분산계수가 증가됨을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 산출된 종분산계수와 선행 연구에서 수집된 자료를 이용하여 추정식을 개발하였다. 차원해석을 통해 무차원 종분산계수에 영향을 미치는 무차원 인자를 선별하고 회귀분석을 이용하여 종분산계수 추정식을 유도하였다. 추정식을 이용하여 산정한 종분산계수의 범위는 Elder (1959)가 제안한 이론값보다 약 10배 정도로 크게 나타났다. 혼합 특성이 밝혀지지 않은 자연하천에 2차원 확산모형을 적용하고자 할 때 본 연구에서 개발된 추정식으로부터 계산된 종분산계수를 사용할 수 있을 것이다.
