Abstract

Extreme events of rainfall has increased mainly from climate change, resulting in more severe floods intensified by land use development. Appropriate estimation of design floods gets more attention to ensuring the safety of life and property in flood-prone areas for hydraulic structures such as dams and levees. In the current study, we reestimated the design flood of the Nam River Dam to adopt the influence of climatic change of hydrometeorological variables including recent datasets of extreme rainfall events. The climate change scenarios of extreme rainfall events in hourly scale that has been downscaled was used in analyzing the annual maximum rainfall for the weather stations in the Nam River Dam basin. The estimates of 200-year and 10,000-year return periods were calculated to provide a design flood and a probable maximum flood case for the Nam River Dam. The results present that the new estimate employing the RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 downscaled data is much higher than the original design flood estimated at the dam construction stage using a 200-year return period. We can conclude that the current dam area might be highly vulnerable and need an enhancement of the dam safety regarding the reduction of damage in Sachen bay from the outflow of Nam River Dam.

최근에 기후변화로 인해 극치호우사상들이 증가하고 있으며 이는 토지이용의 증가와 더불어 심각한 홍수를 야기 시키고 있다. 이에 따라 생명과 재산의 안전을 담보하기 위해 건설되는 댐 및 제방 등의 수리구조물에 대한 적절한 설계홍수량의 산정이 매우 중요한 부분으로 평가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기상수문에 미치는 기후변화의 영향을 고려해서 남강댐 유역의 홍수량을 재산정하였다. 이를 위해서 시간강우로 상세화 시킨 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5의 기후변화 시나리오를 사용하였다. 현재 설계 빈도 값인 200년 빈도와 최대홍수량(PMF)인 10,000년 빈도의 홍수량에 초점을 맞춰 재산정하였다. 기후변화를 반영한 시나리오 값이 현재만을 고려한 값보다 현저히 큰 값을 보여주고 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 특히 RCP 8.5값에서 가장 큰 값을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구결과는 남강댐지역의 안정성이 기후변화에 취약하다는 것을 보여 주었으며 향후 하류지역인 사천만의 피해를 감소시키는 방안을 함께 고려하여 대책이 마련되어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.
