In this research, a distributed rainfall-runoff model based on physical kinematic wave was developed to simulate temporal and spatial distribution of flood discharge considering grid rainfall and grid based hydrological information. The developed model can simulate temporal change and spatial distribution of surface flow and sub-surface flow during flood period, and input parameters of ASCII format as pre-process can be extracted using GIS such as ArcGIS and ArcView. Output results of ASCII format as post-process can be created to express distribution of discharge in the watershed using GIS. The Namgang Dam Watershed was divided into square grids of 500m resolution and calculated by kinematic wave into an outlet through channel networks to review capability of the developed model. The model displayed precise results to be compared to the hydrograph.

In this research, enhanced land-cover classification methods using high-resolution satellite image (HRSI) and GIS in terms of practicality and accuracy was proposed. It aims for understanding non-point pollutant origin/loading, assessment the efficiency of rainfall storage/infiltration facilities and sounds water-environment management. The result of applying enhanced land-cover classification methods to the urban region verifies that roof and road area are including various vegetations such as roof garden, flower bed in the median strip and street tree. This accounts for 3% of total study area, and more importantly it was counted as impervious area by GIS alone or conventional indoor work. The feasibility of the method was assessed by applying to rainfall-runoff analysis for three weak rainfall in the range of 7.1-10.5 mm events in 2000, Chiba, Japan. A good agreement between simulated and observed runoff hydrograph was obtained. In comparison, the hydrograph simulated with land-use parameters by the detailed land-use information of 10m grid had an error between 31%~71%, while enhanced method showed 4% to 29%, and showed the improvement particularly for reproducing observed peak and recession flow rate of hydrograph in weak rainfall condition.

According to recent frequent local flash flood due to climate change, the very short-term rainfall forecast using remotely sensed rainfall like radar is necessary to establish. This research is to evaluate the feasibility of GIS-based distributed model coupled with radar rainfall, which can express temporal and spatial distribution, for multipurpose dam operation during flood season. $Vflo^{TM}$ model was used as physically based distributed hydrologic model. The study area was Yongdam dam basin ($930\;km^2$) and the 3 storm events of local convective rainfall in August 2005, and the typhoon.Ewiniar.and.Bilis.collected from Jindo radar was adopted for runoff simulation. Distributed rainfall consistent with hydrologic model grid resolution was generated by using K-RainVieux, pre-processor program for radar rainfall. The local bias correction for original radar rainfall shows reasonable results of which the percent error from the gauge observation is less than 2% and the bias value is $0.886{\sim}0.908$. The parameters for the $Vflo^{TM}$ were estimated from basic GIS data such as DEM, land cover and soil map. As a result of the 3 events of multiple peak hydrographs, the bias of total accumulated runoff and peak flow is less than 20%, which can provide a reasonable base for building operational real-time short-term rainfall-runoff forecast system.

In this study, the increment effect of safety factor according to increasing of horizontal permeability coefficient is analyzed when geocell is installed on the slope for protection. To evaluate the horizontal permeability and reinforcement effect, the laboratory tests such horizontal permeability test were conducted. According to the laboratory test results, as the porosity rate of geocell increases, the coefficient of horizontal permeability is also increased. And also, regardless of the different types of filled materials, the coefficient of horizontal permeability is improved in a geocell reinforced ground compare with the non-reinforced ground. Laboratory test results and the rainfall intensity were applied to the numerical modeling of slope for seepage analysis and stability analysis of slope by using Soilworks, numerical analysis program. As a result of the slope stability analysis, it is confirmed that the installed geocell on the slope facilitates the drainage of water on the surface of slope. Hence, the ground water elevation is suppressed. Therefore, the safety factor of the slope is increased by the increasing of the internal friction angle, apparent cohesion, and coefficient of horizontal permeability by reinforcing the slope with geocell.

본 연구에서는 7개 지점(여주, 적성, 왜관, 진동, 공주, 구례2, 나주)에 대해 유사량 특성 분석을 수행하였다. 부유사량은 강우가 집중되는 홍수기와 이의 전 후시기인 저 평수기(2회)로 나누어 왕복수심적분법(D-74)으로 측정하였고, 하상토는 BM-54, Grab Sampler(60 L), 선격자 등을 이용하여 홍수기 전 후로 2회 채취하였다. 채취된 시료는 그 목적에 따라 여과법(부유사농도), BW관법(부유사입도분포), 체분석법(하상토입도분포)으로 분석하였고, 그 결과로 작성된 평균 부유사농도 및 Oden Curve와 입도분포곡선과 수리량(수위, 유속, 측정수심, 수면폭, 수면경사, 수온)등의 자료를 이용하여 총유사량(미측정구간의 유사량 포함)을 추정(실측+계산: Modified Einstein)하였다. 총유사량 추정시, 세류사량을 제외한 부유사량을 적용하였다. 유량-부유사농도와 부유사량 및 총유사량 관계에 대한 결과는 다음과 같다: 1) 하나의 강우사상의 수위 상승-첨두-하강에 대한 측정성과는 대체적으로 Loop 형태를 보였고 이로 인해 일부 지점에서 측정성과들 간의 산포도가 다소 크게 나타났으며 수위 하강 때보다 상승시 초기 탁도의 증가 현상으로 부유사농도가 더 높은 것을 볼 수 있었다. 2) 유량-부유사농도, 부유사량, 총유사량 관계에서 왜관과 공주 지점의 경우, 첨두 수위에서 값들의 최고치를 보였고 나머지 지점들은 첨두 수위의 앞선 측정 수위에서 최고치를 보였다. 이는 강우사상별, 강우강도, 댐 방류량, 수위 상승-하강부, 유량에 따른 부유사농도와 부유사량의 특성이 각각 다른 점과 총유사량 추정시, 추정방법에서 추천하는 범위에서 벗어나는 자료를 적용해서 나타나는 결과로 판단된다. 여기서 유량, 수심, 하상토의 입도크기 등 자료의 범위가 추정공식들이 추천하는 범위에서 벗어나면 그 분석 결과도 서로 다르게 나타난다는 것은 그만큼 총유사량 공식의 범용성이 적다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 점에서 때로는 자료 전체에 대해 전반적으로 양호한 결과를 보이는 공식보다는 정확한 답을 원하는 자료의 범위 내에서 예측하는 공식을 선정하는 것이 필요하다. 즉, 공식을 적용하여 유사량을 추정하고자 하는 하천이나 수로의 특성에 맞는 유사량 공식을 선정하는 것이 중요하다는 것이다.

We proposed a GPU (Grapic Processing Unit) accelerated kinematic wave model for rainfall runoff simulation and tested the accuracy and speed up performance of the proposed model. The governing equations are the kinematic wave equation for surface flow and the Green-Ampt model for infiltration. The kinematic wave equations were discretized using a finite volume method and CUDA fortran was used to implement the rainfall runoff model. Several numerical tests were conducted. The computed results of the GPU accelerated kinematic wave model were compared with several measured and other numerical results and reasonable agreements were observed from the comparisons. The speed up performance of the GPU accelerated model increased as the number of grids increased, achieving a maximum speed up of approximately 450 times compared to a CPU (Central Processing Unit) version, at least for the tested computing resources.

This study aims to develop a rainfall field tracking method for depth-area-duration (DAD) analysis and assess whether the proposed tracking methods are able to properly estimate the maximum average areal rainfall (MAAR) within the study area during a rainfall period. We proposed three different rainfall field tracking algorithms (Box-tracking, Point-tracking, Advanced point-tracking) and then applied them to the virtual rainfall field with 1hr duration and also compared DAD curves of each method. In addition, we applied the three tracking methods and a traditional GIS-based tool to the typhoon 'Nari' rainfall event of the Yongdam-Dam watershed and then assess applicability of the proposed methods for DAD analysis. The results showed that Box-tracking was much faster than the other two tracking methods in terms of searching for the MAAR but it was impossible to describe rainfall spatial pattern during its tracking processes. On the other hand, both Point-tracking and Advanced point-tracking provided the MAAR by considering the spatial distribution of rainfall fields. In particular, Advanced point-tracking estimated the MAAR more accurately than Point-tracking in the virtual rainfall field, which has two rainfall centers with similar depths. The proposed automatic rainfall field tracking methods can be used as effective tools to analyze DAD relationship and also calculate areal reduction factor.

Recently, very short-term rainfall forecast using radar is required for regional flash flood according to climate change. This research is to evaluate the feasibility of GIS based distributed model using radar rainfall which can express temporal and spatial distribution in actual dam watershed during flood runoff period. Vflo model which was developed Oklahoma university was used as physical based distributed model, and Namgang dam watershed ($2,293km^2$) was applied as study site. Distributed rainfall according to grid resolution was generated by using K-RainVieux, preprocess program of radar rainfall, from JIN radar. Also, GIS hydrological parameters were extracted from basic GIS data such as DEM, land cover and soil map, and used as input data of distributed model(Vflo). Results of this research can provide a base for building of real-time short-term rainfall runoff forecast system according to flash flood in near future.

Field model tests were performed to develop the grid-net landfill leachate leakage detection system using electrical resistance. Electric circuit tests were also carried out to investigate the expected electrical effects of grid-net electric circuit. The resistance of leaking point showed lower value than that of non leaking point. Grid-net leakage detection system was thought to be effective to locate the leachate leaking point. The measured electrical resistance along the wire including the leaking point was slightly reduced following the reduction of electrical resistance at the leaking point, which was explained by electric circuit test results.

Soil loss by the rains has effect on natural environment. But It is difficult to find out the data that is surveyed in watershed. In this paper, we choose USLE erosion model, which could be connected easily with GSIS and available generally, and extracted factors which is entered model by using GSIS spatial analysis method. Especially, As revised USLE model, It should be applied in watershed and as it calculated soil loss before Idlest fire and behind, it analysed the degree that it have an effect on soil loss. As each analyzed factors and the result of soil loss estimate consist of 22m-pixel size, we could identify soil loss by each pixel and distribution pattern.
