Abstract
This study aims to analyze the hydrological characteristics of downstream areas by the dam discharge of Soyanggang dam by using HEC-RAS Model. As a result of analyzing the data of dam discharge divided into hydropeaking discharge and total discharge, it as found that the maximum hydro-peaking discharge and the maximum total discharge have been 254.4 CMS and 1567.7 CMS respectively for the past 11 years. When the hydro-peaking discharge was applied to HEC-RAS Model, there occurred some sections where the water level rapidly changed, but the velocity of moving water was quite stable in the range between 0.23 m/sec and 1.16m/sec. Besides, when the total discharge was applied to this model, the submersible bridge along the dam downstream was flooded, and in some sections, the water level increased over the flood plain. Accordingly, this study judged that it is required to necessarily consider all the influence made by an increase of Soyanggang Dam's discharge when waterfronts are installed or used at dam downstream areas.
