To evaluate the available groundwater supply to the agricultural water demand in the future with the climate change scenarios for 40 sub-regions in Jeju Island, groundwater recharge and the available groundwater supply were estimated using water balance analysis method. Groundwater recharge was calculated by subtracting the actual evapotranspiration and direct runoff from the total amount of water resources and available groundwater supply was set at 43.6% from the ratio of the sustainable groundwater capacity to the groundwater recharge. According to the RCP 4.5 scenario, the available groundwater supply to the agricultural water demand is estimated to be insufficient in 2020 and 2025, especially in the western and eastern regions of the island. However, such a water shortage problem is alleviated in 2030. When applying the RCP 8.5 scenario, available groundwater supply can't meet the water demand over the entire decade.

This study was conducted to estimate groundwater reserves within a designated depth. Three methods were applied to one representative county in southern Gyeongsang province, South Korea, to estimate the groundwater reserves in the aquifers. Estimated amounts of groundwater reserves in the region ranged from $20.2{\times}10^9m^3$ to $68.7{\times}10^9m^3$ (average $37.9{\times}10^9m^3$). Groundwater recharge obtained with a recharge ratio of 16.6% was $1.1{\times}10^9m^3/year$. Exploitable groundwater with an assumption of decadal-cycle minimal rainfall of 977.0 mm/year was approximated as 72% ($0.8{\times}10^9m^3/year$) of the total replenished water by recharge. The volume of recharge and exploitable water accounted for only 1.1% and 0.8% of groundwater reserves, respectively, which indicates substantial capacity of the reservoir to supply groundwater in an event of unexpected droughts. Nonetheless, each groundwater well should strictly comply with its allocated pumping rate to avoid alluvial groundwater depletion.

This study was conducted to supplement new-normal strategies on management plans of rural groundwater resources in the era of Post COVID-19. Global outbreak of COVID-19 has damaged across all areas including public policy, economics, industrial services, and others without exception, which has resulted in establishing new-normal strategies in order to restore balance and functions as for these areas. The new-normal ones were represented as enhancing preventative management on infectious diseases, expanding non face-to-face services, enhancing protective trades and food securities, and preparing growth policies on public services using the 4^th industrial revolution techniques. In this study, G-WASH_AD (Groundwater supply, sanitation, and hygiene with attraction and digitization) was suggested to be new-normal strategies on rural groundwater resources. The G-WASH_AD was consisted of three detailed action plans: a preventative plan on waterborne-diseases of groundwater (PP), a groundwater-tourism plan with rural heritage (GP), and an application plan of the 4^th industrial revolution techniques to groundwater facilities and its data (P4). The PP can contribute to protect human health from waterborne-diseases and minimize hazardous effects on crop cultivation. The GP accompanied with high-quality groundwater resources is able to strengthen rural tourism, to promote marketing activities on local agricultural products, and to increase household incomes of rural communities. The P4 can reinforce fast, comfortable, and scientific management on groundwater facilities and its data, creating a virtuous cycle between innovative management on groundwater and growth of technology related to it. Results of the G-WASH_AD strategies can encourage a green growth engine in field of rural groundwater management keeping up with Post COVID-19.

Groundwater is considered to be the best water resource to solve water shortage problems during drought periods. Even though excessive pumping (overdraft) during short-period may give an unprofitable effect on groundwater hydrology, it has a primary role to solve a lack of water resources and to maintain incomes of farmers. This study evaluated maximum irrigation amounts of groundwater to each local-government and province during drought periods. Maximum irrigation amounts of groundwater were evaluated using cumulative groundwater usage data of each local-government during normal and drought years. Maximum irrigation amounts of groundwater during drought periods would be roughly identified as approximately 1.3 times more than the exploitable amounts of groundwater resources for each local-government. Drawdown-limitation depth on groundwater levels at each monitoring well was determined by transforming the maximum irrigating amounts into degree of change on levels. Universal limitation depth of drawdown on groundwater levels was evaluated to be approximately three times of annual fluctuating range on groundwater levels for each monitoring well. Systematic response on groundwater demands with abiding by drawdown-limitation depth can attain an optimal irrigation of groundwater resources during short-term drought.

논에서의 밭작물 재배면적은 점점 늘어나는 추세이며, 저수지에 용수가 있음에도 불구하고 논 위주의 용수공급체계로 인하여 가뭄이 심한 경우에 일반 밭지대에도 용수공급이 용이하지 않다. 지표수를 밭 관개용수로 사용함으로써 기존 수리시설의 활용도를 제고하고 농업용수의 사용 절감 및 신규 개발비 절약 등의 효과를 얻게 될 수 있도록 농업용수의 다목적 이용방안이 필요하다. 밭작물의 용수확보는 대부분 개인관정을 이용하여 밭지대에 관개용수를 공급하고 있으나, 최근 지하수는 전국적으로 수위가 낮아지고 있으며, 특히 가뭄시 지하수위 저하에 따른 용수공급이 어려울 것으로 예상된다. 지표수는 저수지, 양수장, 취입보를 활용하여 공급하고 있으며, 송수시설은 관수로 및 용수간선을 활용하여 저류시설로 공급되고 있다. 저류조 설치는 산중턱 및 고가저류조와 평지 설치로 수원별 하천수의 경우 송수는 펌프를 이용하여 저류조에 송수하여 관수로를 적용한다. 급수방법은 자연유하 방식 기능을 선택한다. 저수지 경우 송수는 수원으로부터 직접 공급시 자연유하 방식이 가능하고 고가저류조의 경우 펌프를 이용하여 저류조에 공급한다. 평지설치시 기존 개수로를 적용하면 펌프로 유입수를 취수할 수 있는 조치가 필요하다. 평지설치 급수는 펌프를 이용하여 관개장치에 공급한다.

본 연구는 농업지역의 가뭄 발생에 대하여 활용되는 관정의 효율적 관리를 목표로 우선관리가 필요한 취약지역을 선정하는 방안을 수립하였다. 특히 한국에서는 논 위주의 농업 생산기반정비가 진행되어 왔으나 최근 경제성장과 소득증대에 따른 농산물 소비 구조의 변화로 다양한 밭 작물경작이 증가하여 밭 관개시설물에 대한 정비가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 가뭄 대응을 위한 밭작물의 용수공급 시설물인 관정에 대한 취약성 평가를 통하여 관리의 목표와 우선관리 지역의 선정이 필요하다. 가뭄에 대한 관정 취약성 평가는 최근 널리 사용되는 다기준의사결정 기법인 TOPSIS를 적용하였으며, 한국 전역 158개의 시, 군을 평가대상으로 한다. 평가 인자는 관정능력 및 효율에 긍정적 영향을 주는 강수량, 지하수위, 관정 당 양수량과 부정적 영향을 주는 경지면적, 연속무강우일수, 민간관정 비율을 선정하였다. 평가결과로부터 관정 당 양수량과 상수도 보급율이 관정 효율 취약성 평가를 통한 우선 관리 순위선정에 주요한 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었다.

From early 2000, many researchers in the groundwater and soil environment remediation project tried to calculate the pollution level and pollution remediation cost and reflect it in the design. In addition, by identifying the movement characteristics of oil pollutants in the underground environment, many researchers tried to derive design factors necessary for pollution purification. However, although the test should be conducted in an area contaminated with oil, the toxicity and risk are too great for testing by deliberately leaking pollutants that are harmful to the human body. And as oil-contaminated areas are promoted by military units such as returned US military bases, there is a limit to access by the general public. In addition, since the indoor simulation test and the field application test have been carried out separately from each other, it was difficult to compare and review various simulation tests Therefore, in this study, PITT (Partitioning Interwell Tracer Test) and analysis methods were specifically presented through actual tests so that field workers could easily use them with the help of the military base and the Korea Rural Community Corporation Soil Environment Restoration Team. However, in order to directly reflect the distribution tracer test results in the pollution remediation design, it is necessary to reduce the analysis errors by comparing the analysis results of the existing soil pollution survey, physical exploration, and numerical modeling. In addition, it is judged to be cautious in the analysis because errors can easily occur due to various factors such as the type of oil at the polluted site, the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer, and the skill of the researcher.

2021년 하계방학 동안 농어촌연구원 국제융합수리시험센터에서 현장실습을 하며 경험했던 것, 배운 점, 느낀 점을 후기로 작성하였다. 이번 현장실습동안 진행한 활동들은 크게 수리실험 교육 및 장비조작 실습, 세미나발표 참관, 문헌조사, 안전교육 4가지로 구분된다. 현장실습을 하면서 느낀 점은 수리실험은 다양한 분야에서 활용된다는 것이었다. 수리실험을 통해 산사태를 예측하여 방재계획을 수립하고, 어도를 구축하여 생태계 보호에 기여할 수 있으며, 파력발전을 통해 에너지를 생산할 수 있다는 것을 알게 되었다. 이 때 다양한 환경문제가 발생할 수도 있는 데 향후 환경 계통에 취업을 했을 시 본 현장실습을 통해 얻은 경험이 매우 유용하게 활용 될 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.
