In this study, we evaluated flood risk by applying calculation fomula considering practical risk calculated by inundation analysis information through 2D inundation analysis, suggested a plan that provides a standardized information system. Generally, we evaluated flood risk to people and classified four degrees by using inundation depth, velocity, Debris Factor and Flood Hazard Rating relationship because current flood risk assessment method based inundation depth and area was considered to not fully reflect the actual risk to people on flood. We simulated overflow and levee break scenarios according to 500 year and 200 year floods, respectively, by using Flumen which is a 2D flood inundation model for Geumho river basin in Daegu. The result of this study could contribute to inform practical risk information to people in expected flood area. This study can be useful for the fields of disaster estimatingsuch as information analysis, evaluation, planning by offering Risk information based on standardized information system.

The flood forecasting model currently used in Korea calculates the runoff of basin using the lumped rainfall-runoff model and estimates the river level using the river and reservoir routing models. The lumped model assumes homogeneous drainage zones in the basin. Therefore, it can not consider various spatial characteristics in the basin. In addition, the rainfall data used in lumped model also has the same limitation because of using the point scale rainfall data. To overcome the limitations as mentioned above, many researchers have studied to apply the distributed rainfall-runoff model to flood forecasting system. In this study, to apply the Grid-based Rainfall-Runoff Model (GRM) to the Korean flood forecasting system, the optimal resolution is determined by analyzing the difference of the results of the runoff according to the various resolutions. If the grid size is to small, the computation time becomes excessive and it is not suitable for applying to the flood forecasting model. Even if the grid size is too large, it does not fit the purpose of analyzing the spatial distribution by applying the distributed model. As a result of this study, the optimal resolution which satisfies the accuracy of the bsin runoff prediction and the calculation speed suitable for the flood forecasting was proposed. The accuracy of the runoff prediction was analyzed by comparing the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE). The optimal resolution estimated from this study will be used as basic data for applying the distributed rainfall-runoff model to the flood forecasting system.

This study was conducted to investigate the contents of heavy metals in soils of the Kumho river basin, by analyzing soils according to the distance from edge of the river and to the soil layers. The contents of heavy metals in soils showed highly in its downstream. Namely there was shown a remarkably high contents of these heavy metals in the Kum-ho bridge areas where Kongdan stream joins Dalseo stream, such as 39.52ppm for zinc, 35.92ppm for copper, 97.90ppm for iron, 102.45ppm for manganese, 13.92ppm for lead, respectively, and 0.48ppm for cadmium. However, the heavy metals contents in soils around Kangchang bridge tended to gradually decrease in its contents, probably because its main soils consisting of sand. Based on their soil layers, the average contents of these heavy metals in the surface soils were higher than one of the subsurface soil. Its contents according to the distance from the river edge indicated some difference every individual area. Nevertheless, its contents showed lower contents in the area far away from the edge. And its contents tended to again increase in the outside bank. In addition, a remarkable positive correlation is shorten between individual heavy metals, except correlation between iron and lead. Also cadmium just shows reverses correlation in the statistics. With respect to comparison between soil layers, there was a remarkable positive correlation between surface layers and subsurface layers. Considering the above results, it seems that the pollution of river bed's soil is in proportion to it of stream.

준설이란, 물리적으로 수저의 퇴적물을 제거함으로써 하도관리에서 가장 확실하게 퇴적물을 제거하고 통수 단면적을 증가시킬 수 있는 방법 중 하나이다. 우리나라에서는 주로 해안이나 항만에서 주를 이루어져 왔으며, 하천에서는 주로 골재채취를 목적으로 하는 소규모 준설사업이 대부분이었다. 그러나 4대강 살리기 사업으로 인해서 건설된 다기능보는 수위 및 유량을 조절할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면, 흐름 및 유사의 연속성을 차단하여 유사퇴적이 발생할 가능성이 높아졌음으로 이를 위한 대책으로 유지준설이 이루어져야 한다. 준설은 대규모의 사업비가 투입되는 건설공사이면서, 수저의 퇴적물을 물리적으로 제거함에 따라 고탁도를 발생시키고 생태계를 교란시키는 등의 문제가 있다. 준설선진국인 미국의 경우, 이러한 문제점을 최소화하기 위한 일환으로 환경창(EWs; Environmental Windows)을 개발하여 미국 준설사업의 약 80%에 적용하여 관리하고 있다. 환경창이란, 준설 및 준설토 처분에 관한 작업이 이루어질수 있는 기간을 의미하여, 결정적으로 사회 환경적으로 준설에 따른 영향의 강도가 상대적으로 작은 기간을 선정하여 준설을 허용하는 기간이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 환경창를 국내에 적용하기 위하여 어류, 조류, 친수시설 이용빈도, 홍수기를 이용하였다. 연구대상지역은 낙동강 유역의 금호강 합류점이며, 홍수기에는 준설하지 않는 것을 대전제로 하였다. 어류는 대표어종을 선정하여 연구를 진행하였고, 그 외 조류는 법적보호종인 흑두루미, 친수시설 이용빈도는 4대강 방문객 통계자료를 사용하였다. 엔트로피 가중치 산정방법을 통하여 각 속성별 가중치를 산정하여 최종적으로 한국형 환경창을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 한국형 환경창은 기존의 환경창과 비교하였을 때, 영향의 정도를 수치로 표현하여 의사결정권자가 간편하게 환경창을 결정할 수 있도록 의사결정지원을 한다는 장점이 있다.

In this study, we analyzed the water quality characteristics of major tributaries of Nakdong River through statistical analysis such as correlation analysis, principal component and factor analysis, and cluster analysis. Organic matter and nutrients are highly correlated, and are high in spring and autumn, and seasonal water quality management is required. Principal component and factor analysis showed that 82% of total variance could be explained by 4 principal components such as organic matter, nutrients, nature, and weather. BOD, COD, TOC, and TP items were analyzed as major influencing factors. As a result of the cluster analysis, the four clusters were classified according to seasonal organic matter and nutrient pollution. Kumho River watershed showed high pollution characteristics in all seasons. Therefore, effective management of water quality in tributary streams requires measures in consideration of spatio-temporal characteristics and multivariate statistical techniques may be useful in water quality management and policy formulation.

A stochastic model "STO-RIV" for the prediction of water quality variation in a river system has been developed. Extended Streeter-Phelps equation and Monte Carlo simulation are used in the model. The model is applied to the reach of Waegwan to Mulkeum in the Nakdong River to compute the probability distribution of BOD and DO concentration at Mulkeum site. As the strategies to attain the goal of the water quality, some alternatives considering the treatment effect of the Keumho river are discussed using the stochastic model. Application of stochastic analysis to water quality management is strongly recommended in this country.s country.

The Geumho river watershed located in the middle of the Nakdong river has been threatened by high population growth and urbanization. Of concern specifically is the potential impact of future developments in the watershed on the reduction of base flow and the consequent risk of degradation of ecological habitats in Geumho river. Anticipated increase in imperviousness, on the other hand, is expected to elevate flood risk and the associated environmental damage. A watershed hydrology based modeling study is initiated in this study to assist in planning for sustainable future development in the Geumho river watershed. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is selected to model the impact of urbanization in the Geumho river watershed on the hydrologic response thereof. The modeling results show that in general the likelihood that the watershed will experience high and low stream flows will increase in view of the urbanization so far achieved.

In the Geumho River, 4-nitrophenol has been detected, thus it is necessary to investigate the contamination sources in order to prevent the release of this compound. However, the research to estimate the potential source is regarded as complicated research. In this study, the distributions of 4-nitrophenol were simulated and the contribution of the potential sources was estimated using a numerical model(HydroGeoSphere; HGS) and the measuring data of 4-nitrophenol from 2013 to 2017. The altitude data, the land cover data, the flow rates of the tributaries and wastewater treatment plants, and the decay rate of 4-nitrophenol was used as the input data. The results of this research showed that the contribution rates of potential contamination sources in the upstream area were higher than that of the downstream area. Most of the upstream area is the agricultural area, it seemed that 4-nitrophenol was originated from the pesticides. In order to achieve more specific location of sources, an intensive investigation in the upstream is required.

This study was to develop effective water quality management measures using LDC (Load Duration Curve) curves for TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Loads) unit watershed. Using LDC curves, major factors for BOD and T-P concentration loads generation (i.e. point source or non-point source) in the case study area (Geumho river basin) were found for different hydrologic conditions. Different measures to deal with the pollutant loads were suggested to establish BMPs (Best Management Practices). It was found that the target area has urgent T-P management methods especially at moist and midrange hydrologic conditions because of point source pollutants occurred in developed areas. One example measure for this could be establishment of advanced treatment facility. This study proved that the use of LDC was a useful way to achieve TWQ (Target Water Quality) on the target watershed considered. It was also expected that the methodology applied in this study could have a wider application on the establishment of watershed water management measures.

지금까지 이수유량의 산정은 공급의 안정성을 보장하고자 보수적인 관리체계를 유지해왔다. 시공간적 하천유량의 변동에도 최대 용수수요를 만족할 수 있게끔 기준갈수량을 기준으로 이수유량을 산정하였다. 이는 공급의 안정성은 보장되나 연중 동일 기준을 적용하여 홍수기와 같이 물량이 많은 경우에 있어서 추가적인 유량사용이 불가능하였다. 이에 따라 기존 방법의 단점을 보완하고 시 공간적인 하천유량의 변화를 고려하여 가용수량을 확보하며 물사용 효율성을 증대시킬 수 있는 방안 모색이 필요하다. 이에 선행 연구인 시 공간적 유량변화를 반영한 탄력적인 하천수 사용허가 기준유량 설정방법에서는 홍수기/이수기, 관개기/비관개기를 고려하여 4개의 기간 구분하였다. 본 연구에서는 이수기/홍수기 구분을 제외하고 시기별 변화가 큰 농업용수 사용 시기를 기준으로 관개기/비관개기만을 고려하여 이수 유량의 산정방안을 검토하였으며, 이를 통해 각 기간별로 안정적인 공급이 가능한 기준유량 산정방법을 제시하여 기존의 방법을 개선하고자 한다. 위방법론을 적용한 결과, 기간별 탄력적인 기준유량의 산정으로 수량확보시설을 설치하지 않고 관리기준을 변경하는 것만으로 금호강 유역에서는 약 56.6백만$m^3$/년, 내성천 유역에서는 약 43.4백만$m^3$/년의 유량을 확보 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 추가적인 인프라를 구축하지 않고 관리기준을 변경하는 것만으로 가용유량의 추가 확보가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 탄력적 이수유량 산정 방법을 통해 확보된 수량은 신규 수원 확보 사업의 추진 및 이를 위한 예산 확보 등의 정책적인 어려움을 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 될 수 있으며, 또한 용수공급 안정도를 유지하면서 하천수의 효율적인 활용에도 기여할 수 있다.
