This study uses the SWAT model to analyze the characteristics of long-term runoff at the Ssang-cheon Basin located in the city of Sokcho, which is located in the province of Gangwon. The study considers the effect of snow packing and snow melting in a runoff simulation. In this simulation, the study examines the need to introduce a snow pack and snow melt model to evaluate the water resources of the mountainous region of the Gangwon province. The findings of this study indicate that the runoff hydrograph that was produced approximates the true measured flow when the effect of the snow pack and snow melt are considered, compared to when they are not factored in. The analysis of the flow duration curve indicates that the stream flow largely increases when the effect of the snow pack and snow melt are considered. The wet stream flow was shown to increase by nearly 3% due to the melting effect, while the normal stream flow, low stream flow and drought stream flow were shown to increase by slightly more than 10%. Specifically, it was found that as the stream flow decreases, the effect of the snow pack and snow melt on the stream flow increases.

Gwangdong Dam Watershed is affected by the increased discharge caused by the melting snow in the spring season. Therefore, simulation results obtained using hydrologic models have generally been inaccurate in relation to discharge without snow pack and melt modules. In this research, a grid based distributed rainfall runoff model (K-DRUM) was developed using a snow pack and melt module, and has been applied in the Gwangdong Dam Watershed to simulate the discharge for a four year period. A previous version of K-DRUM, which does not include a snow pack or melt module, was used to calculate the discharge in order to compare the snow melt effect. The simulation period lasted about 7 months from October of the previous year to April of this year using hourly precipitation and weather observed data. To evaluate the model performance, NSE, PBIAS and RSR statistics techniques were applied using the simulation results of the discharge. From the results of reliability evaluation, the K-DRUM model, which uses a snow pack and melt module, had a good applicability for the runoff simulation considering the snow melt effect in the spring.

Increasing urban sprawl and climate changes have been causing unexpected high-intensity rainfall events. Thus there are needs to enhance conventional disaster management system for comprehensive actions to secure safety. Therefore long-term and comprehensive flood management plans need to be well established. Recently torrential snowfall are occurring frequently, causing have snow traffic jams on the road. To secure safety and on-time operation of the Bi-modal tram system, well-structured disaster management system capable of analyzing the urban flash flooding and snow pack melt/freezing due to unexpected rainfall event and snowfall are needed. To secure safety of the Bi-modal tram system due to torrential snowfall, the snow melt simulation capability was investigated. The snow accumulation and snow melt were measured to validate the SWMM snow melt component. It showed that there was a good agreement between measured snow melt data and the simulated ones. Therefore, the Bi-modal tram disaster management system will be able to predict snow melt reasonably well to secure safety of the Bi-modal tram system during the winter. The Bi-modal tram disaster management system can be used to identify top priority area for snow removal within the tram route in case of torrential snowfall to secure on-time operation of the tram. Also it can be used for detour route in the tram networks based on the disaster management system predicted data.

우리나라의 경우 약 70%가 산악지형이며, 특히 북동부 산악지대의 경우 겨울철에 내린 눈이 봄철까지 쌓여있는 경우가 많기 때문에 수자원의 양적측면의 평가는 겨울철 적설과 융설을 고려하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 장기유출모형인 SWAT모형을 이용하여 강원도 쌍천유역을 대상으로 적설 및 융설의 영향을 검토하였다. 융설모형을 고려하지 않는 경우에는 강수가 발생하면 그 즉시 유출이 발생하나, 융설모형을 적용하는 경우에는 강설 이후 기온이 상승하여 융설이 된 이후에 유출이 발생하게 된다. 즉, 강원도의 산악지역에서는 적설 및 융설모형의 적용여부에 따라 봄철 가뭄시기에 차이가 발생할 수 도 있다. 실측 유량과 모의를 통해 얻어진 유량을 비교한 결과, 적설 및 융설의 영향을 고려하지 않을 때 보다 고려할 경우가 실측유량과 더 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 유황분석 결과, 적설 및 융설의 영향을 고려하지 않을 때보다 고려할 경우에 하천의 유황이 다소 증가하였다.
