Abstract

Recently, South Korea has been making efforts to mitigate the risk of water scarcity during droughts by utilizing various drought response measures in dam operations. While various studies have been conducted on this topic, there is currently a lack of research on the economic effects of drought response measures. In this study, we evaluated the economic effects of drought response measures on nationwide multipurpose dams by using a long-term simulated inflow model based on ARIMA and Copula and a dam operation model that reflects drought response measures. The results showed that the expected benefits per unit flow rate were highest for coordinated operation and alternative water supply measures, at KRW 1,176 and KRW 1,139, respectively, while the benefits of emergency water supply utilization and water supply adjustment were estimated at KRW 956 and KRW 875, respectively. Additionally, when we examined the changes in the economic benefits of drought response measures based on the assumption of increased drought severity in the future, the changes in the drought risk resulting from reduced inflow increased the economic benefits of all drought response measures. The economic benefits of water supply adjustment increased by 2.6% compared to the baseline, while the economic benefits of coordinated operation and alternative water supply measures increased by 11.7% compared to the baseline. This suggests that dam-network-based measures, such as coordinated operation and alternative water supply measures, are crucial as drought risk increases. This study is expected to serve as a fundamental reference for selecting and utilizing drought response measures in the future.

최근 우리나라는 댐 운영에 있어서 다양한 가뭄 대책을 활용하여 가뭄 시 물 부족의 위험 리스크를 줄이기 위해 노력하고 있다. 이를 중심으로 다양한 연구들이 수행되었지만 가뭄 대책의 효과를 경제적인 측면에서 살펴본 연구는 현재 전무한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 ARIMA와 Copula 기반의 장기간 모의 유입량 생성 모형과 댐별 가뭄 대책을 반영한 댐 운영 모형을 활용하여 전국의 다목적댐을 대상으로 가뭄 대책 시행에 따른 경제적 효과를 평가하였다. 경제적 편익 산정 결과 연계 운영·대체 공급과 비상공급대책의 단위 유량 당 기대 편익이 각각 1,176원과 1,139원으로 가장 높 으며, 비상 용량 활용과 용수공급조정의 편익은 956원과 875원으로 추정된다. 추가로 미래에 가뭄이 심화된다는 가정을 기반으로 가뭄 대책의 경제적 편익의 변화에 대하여 살펴본 결과 유입량 감소로 인한 가뭄 리스크의 변화는 모든 가뭄 대책의 경제적 편익을 높이는 효과를 보였다. 용수공급조정의 경제적 효과는 기존 대비 2.6% 상승하였으나, 연계 운영·대체 공급의 경제적 효과는 기존 대비 11.7% 상승하였다. 이는 가뭄의 위험도가 증가할수록 연계 운영과 대체 공급과 같은 댐 네트워크 기반의 대책이 주요한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구는 향후 가뭄 대책의 선정과 활용에 있어서 기본자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.
