Abstract

To prevent the damages from earthquakes, various researches have been conducted around the world focusing on earthquake prediction and forecasting for several decades. Among various precursory phenomena, changes in groundwater level and quality are considered to be reliable for estimating the time of earthquake occurrence and its magnitude. In effects, some countries impacted by frequent earthquakes have established and operated the groundwater monitoring network for earthquake surveillance and prediction. In Korea, recently researches have begun for using groundwater monitoring techniques for earthquake prediction. In this paper, the groundwater monitoring networks of China, Japan, and the United States were reviewed focusing on the facilities and results of researches to deduce the tasks for earthquake prediction researches using groundwater monitoring techniques in Korea. In results, research needs are suggested in the implementation of groundwater monitoring networks for specifically earthquake surveillance with the real-time monitoring and the measures to quantify the degrees of abnormal changes in the relationship of distance from the earthquake epicenter.

지진에 의한 피해를 방지하기 위하여 지진 예측과 예보를 위한 다양한 연구가 전 세계적으로 시도되어 왔다. 지진예측지표 중, 지하수 수위 및 수질의 장기관측자료에서 지진 전에 나타나는 이상변동은 지질매체에 가해지는 압력의 변화와 매체 내 균열의 발달에 의한 것으로 지진의 발생 시기와 규모를 추측할 수 있는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 따라서 국외에서는 지하수 관측시스템을 지진감시 관측망의 보조관측망으로 활용하고 있으며, 실제 지진 예측에 활용되고 있다. 우리나라는 최근에서야 지하수를 활용한 지진예측연구가 시작되었으며, 그 가운데 발생한 2016년 9월의 경주지진 전후로 나타난 지하수의 변동은 많은 관심을 불러왔다. 이 연구는 지진감시 및 예측을 위해 적극적으로 지하수관측시설을 운용하고 있는 중국, 일본, 미국의 관측시설 현황 및 연구 사례를 분석, 검토하고 최근 우리나라에서 수행되기 시작한 지진예측 연구의 연구방향과 과제를 제시하고자 수행되었다. 그 결과, 앞으로 고품질의 자료를 생산할 수 있는 지진감시 전용의 단층대 지하수관측시설 구축과 주요 관측인자의 실시간 감시, 이상변동의 폭과 관측되는 거리에 대한 정밀한 평가 및 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
