Recently climate change and urbananization have been increased surface runoff, resulting in flooding. Retention basins have been constructed to control urban flooding by reducing peak flow rate. Recently, the retention basin plays a role in controlling combined sewer overflows (CSOs) as well as urban flooding. In this study, the retention basin with a rotatable bucket was suggested and scale down experiments was performed for the optimum design of the retention basin. Scaled down model was produced using a 3D printer after it was designed as law of similarity. Two times for operating a rotary bucket is required to sweep out the sediments deposited on the bottom of the basin. Optimized dimensions for the retention basin were width of 5 m, height of 5 m, bucket radius of 0.5 m, and bottom slope of 5.0 %. It can be concluded that the results obtained from this study can be used to design the retention basin with a rotatable bucket which does not require energy to operate.

The relative magnitudes of the individual terms of the momentum equation are analyzed and compared by analytical methods. The temporal variations of each term are analyzed for the influence factors to runoff expressed by the parameters of the momentum equation, stream slopes and roughness coefficients. The magnitudes of local acceleration and convective acceleration offset each other. The peak time of each term except the gravity term coincides with inflection point of the hydrograph rising limb each other. The magnitudes of each term vary with the channel characteristics, especially when the roughness coefficients are dominant or for the mild stream slopes the pressure term can not be negligible.

In urban environments, the surface land impermeability fundamentally related to urban growth emphasizes the environmental problems such as the storm water peak flow (so-called the urban flooding) and the pollution. The conventional urban drainage system provides a number of temporary reservoirs intercepting and retaining surface-derived pollutants following their introduction to and deposition upon the impermeable surface. Gully-pots are common features in urban drainage systems in Korea, which were installed for draining rainwater to prevent regurgitation in rainy season and retaining larger particles, hence minimizing pipe blockage problems. When the road runoff conveying sediment enters a gully-pot, the sediment mixes with the gully liquor causing direct pollution of receiving waters. The characteristics of local sediment contamination are usually related to the types of land use activities that take place or have taken place within the area., This study was undertaken to evaluate the spatial and temporal variations of the contamination of gully-pot sediments in Seoul with respect to heavy metals such as As, Cd, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb, Cu and Zn. The heavy metal data were examined according to the land use type. In this paper, sampling sites in Seoul were divided into six groups (commercial area, industrial area, residental area, motor way, rural area, and local pollution).

In this study, we investigated the application of extending the Huff's method to design discharge being used at present up to the event of concentrated rainfall. As our field study site, we selected Odae Cheon basin in Pheongchang, which was affected by concentrated rainfall in July 2006. Actual concentrated rainfall and design rainfall derived from the Huff's method were used to calculate the discharge and storm water levels, which were compared with the directly measured water-level marks of storm discharges. The results showed that the peak storm discharge from the torrential rainfall was twice higher than the design rainfall. The short term discharges from concentrated rainfall closely corresponded to the rainfall discharges of 150 years storm frequency.

The dynamics of water quality with the storm events were analyzed in a small reservoir for irrigation, Lake Wangkung. Water quality of the inflowing stream fluctuated seasonally with the variation of flow rate. Thermal stratification was consistent from April to October below 2 m depths and anoxic layer was developed below 2 m depth in summer. The unique feature of temperature showed that thermal stratification was disrupted by a heavy rain event during monsoon, but hypolimnetic hypoxia were reestablished after a few days. Phosphorus and nitrogen increased immediately following storm events. The marked increase may be due to the input of P-rich storm runoff from the watershed. Internal phosphorus loading can be one of the explanations for TP increases in summer. When there was a storm, total populations of phytoplankton and zooplankton was reduced immediately following the storm, indicating possible flushing of algae and zooplankton. After a lag period of low-density the plankton population bloomed to a peak again within five days after the storm. Turbid water in lake became clear again which coincided with the time of the phytoplankton buildup. The results demonstrate that water quality is regulated greatly by rainfall intensity in Lake Wangkung.

Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) was developed for the estimation of the annual average soil loss from farm land. But, USLE has been applied in estimation of the sediment yield due to the construction activities in Korea without any calibration for last couple of years. Therefore, applicability and the limitation of the MUSLE(modified USLE), which was developed for the estimation of the sediment yield due to single rainfall event, is examined by application of MUSLE into several construction sites and comparing the estimated sediment yields with the actual ones. It is found that MUSLE could be applied in Korea as long as the concentration time, runoff volume and the peak flow rate are estimated with appropriate methods. Comparisons between the applicability of RUSLE and MUSLE are also carried out.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hydrological impact due to temporal land cover change by gradual urbanization of Anseong-cheon Gongdo watershed ($371.8km^2$). Land covers of 1981, 1990, 2000 Landsat TM images were classified by maximum likelihood method. The watershed showed a trend that forest & paddy areas decreased about $33km^2$ and $27km^2$, respectively and urban area increased about $11km^2$ during the periods. To identify the impact of streamflow due to urbanization, WMS HEC-1 was used. According to apply Huffs quartile storm events by changing land cover data, peak runoff discharge of each frequency rainfall (50, 100, 500 years) increased about 56, 36, $192m^3/sec$, respectively.

In this study, combined sewer overflows (CSOs) from five independent rainfall events in rural city area were collected and investigated. First flush effect in sewage pumping station located near the WWTP was retarded 30 to 60 minutes from booster pumping station. The ratios between SS, COD and TP concentrations prior to rainfall and peak concentrations during the period of rainfall were highly increased but nitrogen was relatively constant, which indicates that it is not associated with particles washed off from the surface of watershed. Mass balance results show that 30% of CSO was generated from booster pump station and 66.5% of CSO was from the whole runoff area. In the area of newly constructed sewer system, CSO problem was related with pump and sewer capacities, but in other old sewer system equipped area, it was due to the collection efficiency. Finally, Log-Log pollutant rating equations were suggested.

기후변화와 변동으로 인한 기상이변이 갈수록 심각해지고 발생 빈도도 잦아짐에 따라 현재의 배수관련 사회기반시설(Drainage Infrastructure)이 이런 문제에 대처할 준비가 잘되어 있는지에 대해 의문점이 제기되고 있다. 현재의 배수관련 사회기반시설의 설계는 이른바 정상성(stationarity)이라는 가정 하에 강우의 강도(Intensity), 지속기간(Duration), 빈도(Frequency)의 관계를 나타내는 I-D-F 곡선을 주로 이용하기 때문에 기후변화로 인한 극치사상(extremes)의 유의한 변화를 나타낼 수가 없다는 한계점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 기후변화는 극한기후(climatic extremes)의 특성을 비정상성(nonstationarity)이라 일컫는 개념으로 바꾸고 있기 때문에 배수관련 기반구조 설계(Drainage Infrastructuredesign)의 기본 가정의 하나인 강우 통계 매개변수의 정상성은 기후변화의 시대에는 더는 유효하지 않을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비정상성을 고려하여 조건부 GEV 분포를 이용하여 지속시간별 확률강우량 과비정상성 I-D-F 곡선식을 유도하였다. 또한, 분포형 홍수유출모형인 S-RAT(Spatial Runoff Assessment Tool)을 이용하여 강우강도의 증가가 설계 최대유량(design peak flows)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 지속기간별 차이는 있었지만 고빈도로 갈수록 전반적으로 현행 I-D-F 곡선이 실질적으로 극한강수를 과소평가하고 있으며 정상성 I-D-F 곡선 작성 방법이 기후변화의 배수관련 기반구조물의 능력설계에 적합지 않을 수도 있음을 제시하였다.

Land-use change has an important role in the hydrologic characteristics of watersheds because it alters various hydrologic components such as interception, infiltration, and evapotranspiration. For example, rapid urbanization in a watershed reduces infiltration rates and increases peak flow which lead to changes in the hydrologic responses. In this study, a physical hydrologic model the soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) was used to assess long-term continuous daily streamflow corresponding to land-use changes that occurred in the Naesungchun river watershed. For a 30-year model simulation, 3 different land-use maps of the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s were used to identify the impacts of the land-use changes. Using SWAT-CUP (calibration and uncertainty program), an automated parameter calibration tool, 23 parameters were selected, optimized and compared with the daily streamflow data observed at the upstream, midstream and downstream locations of the watershed. The statistical indexes used for the model calibration and validation show that the model performance is improved at the downstream location of the Naesungchun river. The simulated streamflow in the mainstream considering land-use change increases up to -2 - 30 cm compared with the results simulated with the single land-use map. However, the difference was not significant in the tributaries with or without the impact of land-use change.
