수문학적 유사단위와 우수관망의 공간정밀도가 SWMM모형 성과에 미치는 영향

Effect of a Hydrologic Similarity Unit and Storm Sewer Resolution on the SWMM Model Performance

본 연구의 목적은 도시지역에 SWMM 모형에 필요한 적정규모의 배수유역(HSU) 및 관거망 공간정보의 정밀도 수준을 파악하는 데 있다. 공간정밀도 수준의 차이가 지표면 유출유량의 모의결과에 미치는 영향은 매우 미미한 수준에서 억제가 가능하였으나, 오염부하량 유출의 모의결과는 토지이용이 서로 다른 다수의 단위소유역들을 재합성하여 새로운 단위소유역을 작성하면 유출 오염부하량이 감소됨이 확인되었다. 한편, 관거의 공간정밀도 차이에 따른 유출량 모의결과는 유출첨두시간에 약간의 차이를 보이지만 전체 모의 기간을 통하여는 유출 패턴과 총유량에 미치는 영향은 매우 낮았다. 관거 유출과정 중에 다소의 유출부하량 계산의 오차가 발생하였으나, 그 규모는 관거 정밀도가 낮은 Case-3을 제외하고는 약 5~10% 정도였다.

The partitioning level of a catchment becomes an issue if the calculated results from different levels show the same performance regardless of the levels. This study aims to identify the proper processing level of spatial resolution for the SWMM model application in an urban area. Using GIS overlaying technique, the division of subcatchments as a hydrologic similarity unit (HSU) is achieved with a comprehensive consideration of surface slope conditions, flow directions of storm sewers, and current land cover situation. Three surface-sewer alternatives are made on the basis of three different levels of surface divisions as well as the number of sewer connections and used as runoff simulation fields for the application of SWMM. As the result, it is found that the effect of a spatial resolution on the surface runoff results is not significant. On the other hand, the accumulated pollution load from an unit subcatchment, which is built by aggregation of several unit subcatchments consisting of various land cover conditions is reduced through the deterioration of surface spatial resolution. Although overall runoff pattern and accumulated runoff are little affected by spatial resolution, the simulated runoff from sewer outlet shows slight difference at the peak appearance time. The gap between surface pollution load accumulated and it discharged from the sewer outlet in a surface-sewer alternative during runoff period is monitored but the level of error is less than 5-10% except the lowest spatial resolution case.
