황강에는 1989년 합천다목적댐과 본댐 하류 6.5km 지점에 조정지댐이 건설되었는데 조정지댐의 건설 목적은 본댐에서 피크 발전에 의해 방류되는 유량을 하류로 조절방류하기 위한것이다. 황강은 두댐의 건설후 하천폭, 하상재료, 식생 및 하천구간내 사주의 형성 등 많은 하천 지형학적 변화가 있었다. 이러한 변화는 댐 건설후 흐름 및 유사이송의 변화에 기인한다. 2002년 합천댐 저수지 퇴사량 조사에 의하면 합천댐은 연간 약 600천$m^3$의 유사를 차단한 것으로 파악되었다. 조정지댐은 연최대피크 방류량을 654.7$m^3/s$에서 126.3$m^3/s$로 감소시켰는데 이는 댐건설전의 19.3%에 해당하는 양이다. 댐건설로 인한 하류 하천의 지형적인 변화를 파악하기 위하여 합천조정지댐 하류로부터 낙동강 합류점까지 45 km에 대하여 조사하였다. 1982, 1993 및 2004년의 항공사진을 분석한 결과 비식생하도폭(non-vegetated active channel width)은 평균 152m 감소되었는데 이는 1982년의 약 53%에 해당한다. 비식생하도의 면적 역시 평균 6.6$km^2$가 감소하였다. 평균 중앙하상재료(D50)의 크기는 1983년 1.07mm에서 2003년 5.72mm로 증가한 반면 평균 하상구배는 1983년 0.000943에서 2003년 0.000847로 감소하였다. 총 하상 세굴깊이는 조정지댐 하류 20km 구간에서 평균 약 2.6m였다. 1차원 유사모형인 GSTAR-1D를 이용하여 예측된 최심하상고는 2013-2015년 사이 (댐건설후 약 25년 후)에 안정된 상태에 도달하는 것으로 나타났다. 합천 조정지댐이 본 댐에서의 피크 방류량을 상당히 감소시키고 있지만 홍수기에 조정지댐 수문의 급격하고 주기적인 개폐로 인하여 하류에 흐름의 펄스를 발생시키고 있다. 이러한 펄스가 하류 하천 지형변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 유사모형과 해석적인 방법을 개발 적용하여 구한 값과 비교 검토 하였다. 결과에 따르면, 일 흐름의 펄스(daily pulse)와 홍수피크(flood peak)는 각각의 평균값이 흐를 때와 비교하여 하천지형변화에 훨씬 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 일 흐름 펄스와 홍수피크는 각각의 평균값의 21%와 15%의 토사 이송량 (tons/day) 증가를 보여주었다.

This paper presents numerical simulations of flow around a circular patch of vegetation using a depth-averaged two-dimensional numerical model which is capable of simulating flow structure in vegetated open channel. In order to account for vegetation effect, drag force terms are included in governing equations. Numerical simulations are conducted with various solid volume fractions (SVF). Flow passes through a circular patch and low velocity region, which is called wake region, is formed downstream of the patch. When SVF is larger than 0.08, a recirculation is observed. The location of the recirculation is moved further downstream as SVF decreases. Von-$K{\acute{a}}rm{\acute{a}}n$ vortex street is developed beyond the wake region due to interaction between two shear layers induced by a circular patch of vegetation. The vortex is developed as SVF is larger than 0.08, and the location of the vortex is consistent with the maximum of turbulence kinetic energy. The location of the peak of turbulence kinetic energy is moved further downstream as SVF decreases.

Naeseong Stream is a natural sand-bed river that flows through mountainous and cultivated area in northern part of Gyeongbuk province. It had maintained its inherent landscape characterized by white sandbars before 2010s. However, since then changes occurred, which include construction of Yeongju Dam and the extensive vegetation development around 2015. In this study, long-term monitoring was carried out on Naeseong Stream to analyze these changes objectively. This paper aims to provide a dataset of the investigation on channel morphology and vegetation for the period 2012-2018. Methods of investigation include drone/terrestrial photography, LiDAR aerial survey and on-site fieldwork. The main findings are as follows. Vegetation development in the channel of Naeseong Stream began around 1987. Before 2013 it occurred along the downstream reach and since then in the entire reach. Some of the sites where riverbed is covered with vegetation during 2014~2015 were rejuvenated to bare bars due to the floods afterwards, but woody vegetation was established in many sites. Bed changes occurred due to deposition of sediment on the vegetated surfaces. Though Naeseong Stream has maintained its substantial sand-bed characteristics, there has been a slight tendency in bed material coarsening. Riverbed degradation at the thalweg was observed in the surveyed cross sections. Considering all the results together with the hydrological characteristics mentioned in the precedent paper (I), it is thought that the change in vegetation and landscape along Naeseong Stream was mainly due to decrease of flow. The effect of Yeongju Dam on the change of the riverbed degradation was briefly discussed as well.

An estuary is semi-inclosed inlets, located between terrestrial and marine environment. Since many estuaries along south-western coasts of Korean peninsula were affected by human settlements and activities, significant changes in sedimentation environments have been observed. The research area is divided into three distinct morpho-stratigraphic units: fluvial dominated area(Area1), mixed area(Area 2), tide-dominated area(Area3). The landform of this area has been changed by reclamation and river channel change. Temporal variations affected by dam construction, periodic freshet was iterrupted. Sediments began to continuously accmulate on estuary banks by tide. Meanwhile, because of the continuous but reduced discharge of fresh water, the salinity of estuarine sediments was declined. That processes made vegetated area( Phregmites lonivalvis and Suaeda japonica) to be expanded. It indicates that the magnitude and frequency of geomorphic processes has been significantly changed.
