Assessing the hydrological safety of existing dams against climate change and providing appropriate adaptation measures are important in terms of sustainable water supply and management. Korean major dams ensure their safety through periodic inspections and maintenance according to 'Special Act on the safety control and maintenance of establishments'. Especially when performing a full safety examination, principal engineer must assess the hydrological safety and prepare for potential risks. This study employed future probable maximum precipitation (PMP) estimated using outputs of regional climate models based on RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 greenhouse-gas emission scenarios to assess climate change impact on existing dam's future hydrological safety. The analysis period was selected from 2011 to 2040, from 2041 to 2070, and from 2071 to 2100. Evaluating the potential risk based on the future probable maximum flood (PMF) for four major dams (A, B, C, I) showed that climate change could induce increasing the overflow risk on three dams (A, B, I), although there are small differences depending on the RCP scenarios and the analysis periods. Our results suggested that dam managers should consider both non-structural measures and structural measures to adapt to the expected climate change.

Hydraulic analysis in a dam that has a single outlet of water can be made through a simple comparison between the total precipitation and the volume of discharged water. In case of tailing dams this estimation could yield an error because several drainage facilities are worked independently as well as simultaneously. In this research, a capability of the drainage system in the tailing dam of the old Sangdong Mine was analysed by the means of GIS technic. As a result of this study, it was expected that in the normal working condition of the whole drainage system, the flooding of water over the dam should not occur in spite of the consecutive precipitation during one hour with an intensity of 80.31 mm/hr, a probable precipitation within 100 years. It was, however, revealed that, if the drainage system did not work completely, the water could flood over the dam when the total precipitation reached 251.1 mm.

Along with climate change, it is reported that the scale and the frequency of extreme climate events (e.g. heavy rain, typhoon, etc.) show unstable tendency of increase. In case of Korea, also, the frequency of heavy rainfall shows increasing tendency, thus causing natural disaster damage in downtown and agricultural areas by rainfall that exceeds the design criteria of hydraulic structures. In order to minimize natural disaster damage, it is necessary to analyze how extreme precipitation event changes under climate change. Therefore a new design criteria based on non-stationarity frequency analysis is needed to consider a tendency of future extreme precipitation event and to prepare countermeasures to climate change. And a quantitative and objective characteristic analysis could be a key to preparing countermeasures to climate change impact. In this study, non-stationarity frequency analysis was performed and inundation risk indices developed by 4 inundation characteristics (e.g. inundation area, inundation depth, inundation duration, and inundation radius) were assessed. The study results showed that future probable rainfall could exceed the existing design criteria of hydraulic structures (rivers of state: 100yr-200yr, river banks: 50yr-100yr) reaching over 500yr frequency probable rainfall of the past. Inundation characteristics showed higher value in the future compared to the past, especially in sections with tributary stream inflow. Also, the inundation risk indices were estimated as 0.14 for the past period of 1973-2015, and 0.25, 0.29, 1.27 for the future period of 2016-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100, respectively. The study findings are expected to be used as a basis to analyze future inundation damage and to establish management solutions for rivers with inundation risks.

In recent years, debris flow disaster has occurred in multiple locations between high and low mountainous areas simultaneously with a flooding disaster in urban areas caused by heavy and torrential rainfall due to the changing global climate and environment. As a result, these disasters frequently lead to large-scale destruction of infrastructures or individual properties and cause psychological harm or human death. In order to mitigate these disasters more effectively, it is necessary to investigate what causes the damage with an integrated model of both disasters at once. The objectives of this study are to analyze the mechanism of debris flow for real basin, to determine the PMP and run-off discharge due to the DAD analysis, and to estimate the influence range of debris flow for fan area according to the scenario. To analyse the characteristics of debris flow at the real basin, the parameters such as the deposition pattern, deposit thickness, approaching velocity, occurrence of sediment volume and travel length are estimated from DAD analysis. As a results, the peak time precipitation is estimated by 135 mm/hr as torrential rainfall and maximum total amount of rainfall is estimated by 544 mm as typhoon related rainfall.

The recent emphasis on ecological urban development has led to the need to maintain a hydrologic cycle in urban areas. As such, this study proposes decentralized rainwater management, a concept of onsite rainwater management that involves the utilization, infiltration, detention, and retention of rainwater. The main objective of this research is to estimate the proportion of decentralized rainwater management that is needed. From the research that was conducted in this study, it was found that the total runoff quantity increases by 10-20% after district lands are developed, when the probable rate of precipitation every 10 years is within this range. Thus, the runoff rate can be reduced by 10~20% of the total runoff quantity through decentralization. On the other hand, in the scale of housing complex development, the total runoff quantity increases by as much as 10~40% due to the changes in the rate of the impervious surface area. If 10-40% of the total runoff quantity was processed through decentralized rainwater management, the rate of infiltration, detention, retention, and runoff in precipitation prior to development could be recovered.

확률강수량은 하천, 하수도, 재해관련 시설 계획 등 각종 물 인프라를 계획하기 위한 기초 자료로 활용되고 있다. 최근의 기후변화 양상을 고려할 때, 지역적으로 다양하게 변화되는 강수패턴은 확률강수량 산정에 있어서도 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 이 연구에서는 현재 물 인프라 계획에 사용되는 확률강수량의 적용실태를 분석하였으며, 기후변화 영향이 점차 증가할 것으로 보이는 미래의 물 관련 인프라를 건설하거나 시설 개선에 사용되는 확률강수량이 미래 예측 강수를 고려하는 경우에 어떻게 변화되는지를 연구하였다. 인천관측소 지점을 대표 분석 지점으로 선정하여 연강수량, 일최대강수량을 제시하였으며, 기존 확률강수량을 검토하였다. 또한, 인천관측소 지점의 1961~2015년의 분단위 자료를 이용하여 임의시간에 따른 1440분 최대강수량을 산정하였으며, RCP 2.6, 4.5, 6.0, 8.5 시나리오에 따른 2016~2100년 기간의 미래 예측 강수자료에 고정시간-임의시간 환산계수를 적용하여 빈도별 확률 강수량을 산정하였다. RCP 기후변화 시나리오에 의한 미래 예측 강수를 적용한 경우와 과거 관측 자료만을 이용한 확률강수량의 차이를 분석한 결과, 편의보정 여부와 관측지점 및 확률빈도에 따라 결과에 상당한 차이가 발생하였다. 향후 물인프라 계획에 있어서는 미래 예측 강수의 패턴과 지역적 특성 등을 여러 측면으로 고려한 계획을 수립하는 것이 지속가능한 물 관리에 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

강수량자료는 기초 수문자료의 하나로서 자료 수집시 기록방식에 따라 자료의 정확도가 달라질 수 있다. 주로 많이 사용되는 기록방식은 정시 기록방식이지만 실제 강수계에서는 강수이벤트의 기록이 먼저 이루어진다. 정시 기록 방식은 관측을 하기로 정해 놓은 시각(정시)에 강수계에 집계된 강수량을 읽어 그대로 기록하는 방식이고, 강수이벤트의 기록은 최저관측해상도에 도달하는 강수가 발생한 시각을 기록하는 방식이다. 동일한 강수가 발생하더라도 기록 방식에 따라 이후에 분석에서 다른 결과를 보여줄 수 있다. 특히 확률강수량 산정에 불확실성을 키우는 방향으로 영향을 줄 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 기록방식에 따른 불확실성을 분석하기 위해 강우모의 발생기법을 이용하여 대규모의 강우를 모의하고 이를 앞서의 두 가지 기록방식으로 기록한 후 기록된 자료를 이용해 확률강수량을 산정하고 기록으로 변환하지 않은 자료를 직접 이용하여 확률강수량을 산정하는 방법으로 각 방법의 불확실성을 비교해 보았다. 또한 측정의 최소단위를 변화시켜 기록한 다음 다시 분석하여 측정의 최소단위가 기록방식에 따라 어떻게 불확실성에 영향을 주는지 알아보았다. 이러한 결과가 향후 강수량의 기록 관리방법의 개선에 반영된다면 좀 더 정확한 수문 분석에 도움이 될 것이다.

In this study, we analyzed the extreme rainfall distribution scenarios based on probable rainfall calculation and applying various time distribution models over the landslide high risk zones in urban areas. We used observed rainfall data form total 71 ASOS (Automated Synoptic Observing System) station and AWS (Automatic Weather Station) in KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration), and we analyzed the linear trends for 1-hr and 24-hr annual maximum rainfall series using simple linear regression method, which are identified their increasing trends with slopes of 0.035 and 0.660 during 1961-2014, respectively. The Gumbel distribution was applied to obtain the return period and probability precipitation for each duration. The IDF (Intensity-Duration-Frequency) curves for landslide high risk zones were derived by applying integrated probability precipitation intensity equation. Results from IDF analysis indicate that the probability precipitation varies from 31.4~38.3 % for 1 hr duration, and 33.0~47.9 % for 24 hr duration. It also showed different results for each area. The $Huff-4^{th}$ Quartile method as well as Mononobe distribution were selected as the rainfall distribution scenarios of landslide high risk zones. The results of this study can be used to provide boundary conditions for slope collapse analysis, to analyze sediment disaster risk, and to use as input data for risk prediction of debris flow.

Slope stability is affected by duration of precipitation, probable rainfall intensity, unsaturated soil property, and soil strength. The recent analyses of slope stability tend to include unsaturated analysis based on infiltration properties of soil, while researches of unsaturated soil slope tend to include the analysis of deformation and stress distribution of soil over time. However, infiltration property of unsaturated soil slope depends not only on intensity or duration of precipitation, but also on relief and surface condition, which is not considered in status quo. This research uses hydrologic model parameters of soil in order to consider effects of inclination on filtration, and carries out analysis of unsaturated soil slope to confirm the effects according to slope inclination and surface condition. In conclusion, using slope stability analysis, the need to consider infiltration rate according to inclination and surface condition was confirmed even under the same precipitation conditions.
