Abstract

Long-term changes in the hydrological characteristics of a small forest watershed were examined using a master baseflow recession curve and the measured rainfall-runoff data from the experimental forest watershed in the measured years 2003-2011. The results of the study showed that the recession coefficient of direct runoff was lower than that of baseflow. In small forested watershed, the direct flow was lower than that of large scale watershed, flow due to its shorter period of occurrence. And baseflow was similar to large scale watershed's. A regression equation $y=0.7528e^{-0.022x}$($R^2=0.8938$, range 0.3~0.8 mm) was obtained using the master baseflow recession curve for the study period and the recession coefficient was calculated as K = 0.978. Changes between master baseflow recession curve and runoff showed great association and relevance such as increasing runoff was associated with the gentle slope of master baseflow recession curve and decreasing runoff was associated with the slope of master baseflow recession curve contrary. In the later years of the study period, the slope of the master baseflow recession curve appreciably became more gentle due to increases in baseflow. This suggests that the forested experimental watershed exhibit improved structural functioning of normal flood control and reduced occurrence of water shortage problems.

본 연구는 주지하수 감수곡선을 이용하여 산림소유역의 유출특성을 밝히기 위하여 수행하였다. 2003년부터 2011년까지 9년간 관측한 강우-유출량 자료를 이용하여 수문곡선 감수부의 시계열 변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 산림소유역에서는 직접유출 감수계수가 기저유출의 감수계수 값보다 작았다. 또한 산림소유역에서의 직접유출량은 대유역에 비해 상당히 적은 양을 보였으며, 기저유출량은 차이가 크지 않았다. 시험유역에서 주지하수 감수곡선의 회귀식과 감수계수는 각각 $y=0.7528e^{-0.022x}$($R^2=0.8938$, 범위는 0.3 mm~0.8 mm), K = 0.978로 산출되었다. 주지하수 감수곡선과 연유출량과는 관련성이 큰 것으로 나타났는데, 유출량이 많으면 주지하수 감수곡선의 기울기가 완만해지고, 유출량이 줄어들면 감수곡선의 기울기가 급해지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 해를 거듭할수록 주지하수 감수곡선의 기 울기가 완만해지는 경향이 나타나, 점차 기저유출량이 증가하는 것으로 판단하였다. 따라서 시험유역에서는 시간의 경과와 함께 산림의 홍수조절기능 및 수원함양기능이 점진적으로 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.
