Total of 325 estuaries in Korea were surveyed to analyze the effect of presence of sluice gate on the estuary environment and fish community from 2016 to 2018. Fish community in closed and open estuaries showed differences generally, and the relative abundance (RA) of primary freshwater species in the closed and migratory species in the open estuaries were high. The result of classifying species by habitat characteristics in closed and open estuaries showed similar tendencies at the estuaries of south sea and west sea. The relative abundances of primary freshwater species in the closed estuaries at the estuaries of south sea and west sea were the highest, but estuarine and migratory species were high in both closed and open estuaries at the estuaries of east sea. Primary freshwater species showed higher abundances in the closed estuaries with reduced salinity due to blocking of seawater since they are not resistant to salt. However, primary freshwater species in open estuaries at east sea was higher than that of the closed estuaries, which is considered to be the result of reflecting the characteristics (tide, sand bar, etc.) of the east sea. Korea Estuary Fish Assessment Index (KEFAI) was showed to be higher at open estuaries than closed in all sea areas (T-test, P<0.001), the highest KEFAI was observed in closed estuaries at south sea, and open estuaries in east sea. Fish community of closed and open estuaries in each sea areas showed statistically significant differences (PERMANOVA, East, Pseudo-F=3.0198, P=0.002; South, Pseudo-F=22.00, P=0.001; West, Pseudo-F=14.067, P=0.001). Fish assemblage similarity by sea areas showed a significant differences on fish community in closed and open estuaries at east sea, south sea, and west sea (SIMPER, Group dissimilarity, 85.85%, 88.36%, and 88.05%). This study provided information on the characteristics and distribution of fish community according to the types of estuaries. The results of this study can be used as a reference for establishing appropriate management plans according to the sea areas and type in the management and restoration of estuaries for future.

The variations of D.O and pH due to the inflow of seawater by sluice gates operation were observed in the Lake Shihwa, Korea. The distributions of D.O and pH were investigated at 11 stations during Feburary 1997 to July 1998. The concentration of D.O before gate operation was 10 mg/l or more all over the watershed, yet 5 mg/l or less in the water layers of 11 m or below from March to June 1997. Anoxic layer appeared in June 1997 and expanded during rainy season. The anoxic layer in the lake depleted the oxygen in seawater as seawater was inflowed. It may be interpreted that the phenomenon comes from the contact of seawater to lower fresh water. The contact of seawater in pH 7.8 to 8.2 to lower water less than pH 7.4 enhanced to oxidize. After January 1998, D.O of the lake increased over 10 mg/l and the stratification was weakened. As a result, it may be concluded that the best way to improve the water qualities is to increase the amount of seawater inflow and outflow so as not to be generated pycnocline in summer.

This study presents the analysis of flow and bed change characteristics considering bed protection work built on the immediate downstream of weir to protect river bed from scouring. The study area is 37km reach from Hyunpoong station to Masuwon station including Hapcheon- Changryoung multi-function weir in the Nakdong river. CCHE2D model is calibrated and validated for evaluating the flow and bed change characteristics during Typhoon Kompasu in 2010. Three simulation conditions are set up: Case 1 is a natural channel without installation of weir. Case 2 involves an installation of weir in the natural channel. Case 3 involves an installation of weir with bed protection in the natural channel. Flood frequency (50, 100 and 200yr) is applied to each scenario to analyze the effects of bed protection work. While the sediment rate is increased in the downstream of fixed gate and sluice-type gate, river bed scouring rate is increased in the downstream of lift-type gate in Case 2 comparing with the results of Case 1. The river bed scouring is not occurred in the immediate downstream of weir (~30m) due to the effect of bed protection, but larger amount of sediment is occurred in the downstream of weir (60m~) which the bed protection is not installed comparing with the results Case 1. Through the results of simulation considering bed protection work, this study would be helpful to expect bed change and operate the weir as well as manage.

The place of South Weol Dynastys authorities exhumed in the region of KangChoWu, China lies adjacent to a stone ditch through which water streams crookedly, and a dark trough of stone pond in the north side. There is a sharply curved stone ditch and a crescent-shaped water entrance made by stones. The place was separated by using stone columns and stone walls. There is a beam of ditch, a crooked entrance, a flat bridge of slate, a stepping-stone, a sluice gate, and a crooked corridor. There are big and small artificial islands, and reinforcing stone drainage way in the palace pond recently exhumed at the building site for the pavilion of Hwang-Yong Temple in Kuhwang-Dong, Gyeongju city, Korea. There are four facilities assumed to be entrance and exits at four corners and an open space on which gravel was spread extensively. A narrow road and a middle road with indefinite curves at the south of Asukakyoseki exhumed by the first, second and third and two stone buckets which one is to fill with water and the other is to drain water off like fountain are there, and besides wave protecting dam and north pond and the part that water pass were excavated. Palace ponds that were extensively distributed at old residential cities are a general phenomenon of countries in eastern Asia. Anap pond of Silla and Gungnam pond of Baekje were in Kroea. We believe that Asutnkyoseki is on the extension. Although more investigations in the background of thought and the genealogical relation about the palace pond are required, it seems that an idea was surely received from China.

The Youngsan Lake was constructed to supply agricultural water to the extensive rice fields in the basin of the lake in 1981. Hypoxia has often developed in the bottom water of the lake during the warm season although the water depth is relatively shallow (< 16 m). We investigated the spatial and temporal variations of dissolved oxygen (DO) and physical properties such as water temperature, salinity and turbidity to elucidate the effects of change in physical properties on DO dynamics in the lake. Vertical profiles of DO, temperature, salinity, and water density were also explored to verify the development of stratification in relation to DO variation in the water column. Hypoxia (DO < $2mg\;L^{-1}$) was not observed in the upper regions whereas hypoxia was detected in the lower regions during the warm season. Thermocline generally developed in the lower regions during the warm season unlike the previous studies in which no thermocline was observed. However, water column was well mixed when freshwater water was discharged from the reservoir through the sluice gate of the dike. DO concentrations also decreased when halocline or pycnocline developed during the dry season suggesting that the vertical stratification of water column affects DO dynamics although the water depth is shallow in the Youngsan lake.

조력발전 건설사업에서 우선적으로 고려되어야 할 사항은 조수간만에 의해 외해부와 조지부 사이를 이동하는 해수를 적절히 소통시키는 것이다. 즉, 조력발전소에서 수문구조물의 목적은 주어진 조건 하에서 계획된 유량을 충분히 그리고 안전하게 배제시키는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수문구조물에 대한 Apron의 길이와 경사의 변화에 의한 외해 조위와 시화호 수위차 조건에 따른 유량계수를 구해 배수능력과 유$\cdot$출입부, 외해, 시화호 및 큰가리섬 주위의 흐름 특성을 검토하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 시화호를 실험대상으로 하여 구조물을 중심으로 외해측으로 1,000m, 시화호측으로 500m, 폭 1,500m의 범위를 선정하였다. 수리모형을 1대50의 축척비로 제작하였다. 표 1은 실험별 Apron과 수문구조물의 제원을 나타내며, 수문구조물은 7기로 이루어졌다. 시화호의 흐름은 관성력과 중력이 지배력이 되며, 이때 상사법칙은 Froude 상사법칙을 적용할 수 있다. 실험III은 실험II에서 Apron의 경사를 1대10에서 1대5로 수정한 실험으로 수위조건은 외해측 -2.530 EL.m이고, 시화호측은 -1.603EL.m이다. 유량계수를 산정하기 위하여 6개 실험조건을 기본계획에서 제시된 수위-조위 조건에서 수위차 및 통수유량을 분배하여 결정하였고 유량계수 산정식에 따라 구조물의 유입부와 유출부에서 유속-면적법에 의해서 유량을 측정하였다. 그리고 국부평면 실험모형에서의 전체적인 해류의 흐름을 분석하기 위해 2차원 유속을 측정하였다. 또한, 유$\cdot$출입부 안정성을 검토하기 위해 Apron 지점과 수문구조물 지점에 3점법으로 유속을 측정하였으며, 색소를 이용하여 유황을 관찰하였다. 시화호와 외해의 수위차가 1.011 m일 때의 전체 수문구조물을 통과하는 유량을 비교한 결과, 실험II 및 실험III의 통과유량은 각각 $10,924m^3/s$ 및 $10,075m^3/s$로서 실험 I의 $2,757m^3/s$에 비해 통수능이 많이 개선되었음을 알 수 있다.

The Daehang-ri intertidal flat located the just outside of the Saemangeum dike has been reported to show new-developing flats. Based on the topographic surveys of 21 times from 2000 to 2016 by a leveling method every year, this site clearly shows variation of deposition/erosion in time and space. Deposition has consistently occurred at the rate of +3.75 cm per year at the area along the dike (Zone 1), and this tidal flat is expanding and prograding seaward. In the area of far from the dike (Zone 2), on the other hand, erosion prevails at the rate of -2.38 cm per year, and this zone tends to retreat landward. However, the erosional trend of Zone 2 has slightly slowed down since 2014. As a whole from 2000 to 2016, net deposition is recorded over 3.0 m at the upper beach and the area adjacent to the dike (Zone 1), while erosion up to 1.0 m in Zone 2. In conclusion, the results at the Daehang-ri intertidal flat clearly revealed that its topographic changes were induced by the artificial structures and water masses through its sluice gate. Counter-clockwise gyre newly created after the sea dikes construction probably results in relocating of sediment outside the dike 1 by transportation of materials eroded from the south to the north along the coast.

The simulation results of final closing by the developed model considering the flows through tide embankment of non-Darcy and through sluice gate agree well to the observed data which shows the model applicability. In comparative analysis with observed data, the simulation results by Homma(1958) are more accurate than those by Na(1987). The free flow equation with discharge coefficient, regardless of free or submerged flows, by Na based on the submergence ratio is applicable to the engineering practices. Because two simulated discharges are greater than the actual one, the correction of discharge coefficients reflecting the irregular section of actual closing gap situation is necessary. In the hydraulic analysis of final closing, the flow through tide embankment has been generally analysed by Darcy. Hydraulic analysis by the correct discharge through tide embankment of non-Darcy flow is necessary, because the ratio between flows through tide embankment and closing gap is relatively great at final closing.

감세블록(baffle block)은 고속의 흐름에서 도수를 유도함으로써 과도한 에너지를 감세시키는 역할을 하는 구조물이며 구조물의 크기, 형태, 위치, 조합 등의 변수로 도수가 형성되는 조건을 조절하여 흐름에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 하단방류형 가동보에서 고속으로 방류되는 흐름의 Froude 수가 2.5에서 4.5 사이일 경우 발생하는 불규칙한 주기의 진동이 중첩 보강되면 감세하기 어려운 파동을 형성하여 수 Km 동안 지속될 수 있어 추가적인 조치가 필요하다(Peterka, 1984). 이 연구에서는 총 연장 11m, 폭 0.5m의 구형수로에 하단방류형 가동보와 감세블럭을 설치하여 감세블록의 위치가 에너지의 감세에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 감세블록의 최적 위치를 제안하였다. 감세블럭은 높이 2cm, 폭 5cm의 구형단면으로 제작하여 일정한 간격으로 치형 배열하였으며, 가동보로 부터 5.5~8.5cm 지점에서 1cm간격으로 총 5가지 조건으로 수리실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 수문 하단에서의 Froude 수가 3.8~3.9를 만족하는 강한 도수가 발생할 수 있도록 유량을 조절 하였고, 유속과 수심은 3차원 유속계와 피에조미터를 이용하여 가동보로부터 0.2m간격으로 하류단 2m 지점까지 측정하였다. 실험 결과, 가동보로부터 도수가 발생하여 수위가 안정되는 지점까지의 도수길이는 감세블록을 설치한 경우, 설치하기 전의 1.1m와 비교하여 최소 27.3%에서 최대 81.8%만큼 짧아졌으며 감세블록 보에 가깝게 설치될수록 도수길이는 단축되는 것으로 나타났다. 가동보 하류부에서 도수가 발생한 이후 수심이 안정화되는 1m 지점에서, 도수 전후의 비에너지비로 정의되는 도수효율은 감세블록 미설치 시 74.9%이고, 감세블록이 설치된 조건에서는 54.9~60.6%로 감세블록에 의한 에너지 감소효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 에너지 감세 효과가 가장 큰 감세블록 위치는 가동보로부터 6.5cm 떨어진 곳으로 하류단 수심의 약 80%에 해당하는 지점이 감세블록의 최적 위치인 것으로 판단된다.

The variations of physical properties due to inflow of seawater by sluice gates operation were observed in Shihwa Lake. The distributions of salinity and temperature were investigated at 11 stations during February, 1997 to July, 1998. The salinity of water mass in Shihwa Lake before gate operation was ranged below 15psu and strong stratification due to inflow of seawater was observed at the depth of 11 m. In July 1997, temperature difference of 10^{\circ}C$ was occurred between the surface and bottom water due to strong solar radiation. During October 1997 to February 1998, inversion of temperature distribution, which the temperature of bottom water was higher than that of surface water, was observed. In July 1997, temperature, salinity, current speed and current direction were investigated by RCM-7 at St.3 for 56 days. When sea water was intruded in Shihwa Lake, the symmetric distribution of temperature and salinity was observed and it seems to be resulted from inflow of seawater with low temperature and high salinity. After January 1998, salinity of Shihwa Lake was increased over 30psu due to continuous gate operation and the stratification was weakened.
