습지는 가장 생산적인 생태계 중 하나이며, 인류에게 수문학적, 경제적, 문화적 가치로도 매우 귀중한 역할을 하고 있다. 하지만 기후변화와 인간의 영향으로 수위저하와 건조, 수문체계에 변화를 주어 습지의 건조화 현상이 나타나고 이로 인해 생태계에도 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 산지습지는 인위적 간섭에 매우 취약하고 환경변화에 민감하여 불규칙한 강수패턴 및 무분별한 개발은 습지수문환경에 영향을 미쳐 습지의 건조화를 심화시키는 원인이 되고 있다. 그 결과 자연적으로 습지의 면적이 감소하고 식생의 패턴 변화로 다양한 생물들과 보호가 필요한 종들이 사라질 것이므로 변화에 대응하기 위해서 건조화를 방지할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 습지 내 지하수위 저하 또는 유입 유출량의 변화로 습지 토양의 수분이 감소하여 말라가는 현상을 습지 가뭄이라 정의하고 가뭄지수를 활용하여 이를 지수화 하였다. 현재 산지습지를 대상으로 가뭄을 지수화 시킨 선행연구가 거의 없기 때문에 향후 산지 습지의 가치를 보존하고 생태계 관리의 목적으로 후속 연구의 방향을 제시하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 예상된다.

최근 기후변화 및 도시화의 영향으로 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 자연재난이 점점 심화되고 있다. 습지는 유속과 수위를 낮추는 홍수조절 효과가 있으며 가뭄시에는 물을 저장하는 역할을 하여, 인공습지의 조성은 심각해지는 홍수 및 가뭄에 해결방안으로 활용될 수 있다. 기존의 인공습지에 관한 연구는 식생과 수질정화기능과 종 다양성 등 생태적 기능에 관한 연구가 주로 이루어져왔으며, 인공습지의 홍수조절 효과에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 경안천 유역에 인공습지 조성에 따른 수문학적 홍수저감효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 수리모형인 HEC-RAS를 통하여 가상의 인공습지를 모형화 하여 인공습지 조성 전 후에 대한 홍수위를 비교 분석하였다. 또한 홍수범람을 모의하여 대상유역의 침수심 및 침수면적을 산정하고 이를 다차원홍수피해액산정법을 통하여 인공습지 조성 전 후에 대한 홍수피해액을 추정하였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 인공습지 조성 사업 시 사업의 경제적 타당성을 평가하며, 인공습지 설계의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Drought is an natural phenomenon which effects greatly on our society. It has various time scale and it is difficult to define the beginning and the end. So we can't aware it quickly and the damage of drought become severe. To cope with these problems, it needs to construct drought monitoring system. And it is required that the definition of drought which is objective and can be applied widely and proper drought index for drought monitoring. Meteorology and hydrology have developed drought index for drought monitoring. There are many attempt to interpret the drought using NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) or LST(Land Surface Temperature) in remote sensing. In this study, drought index and precipitation is used to find drought severity of last ten years in South Korea. NDVI and VCI is applied to perceive the state of drought. Finally, the possibility of drought monitoring and evaluating drought depth is estimated by analyzing the correlation between vegetation Index and drought index.

Global climate changes including elevated $CO_2$, drought, and global warming may influence greenhouse gas emissions in wetlands. A variety of microbial communities including denitrifiers and methanogens play a key role in determining such processes. In this paper we summarize current knowledge on the effects of climate changes on $CO_2,\;CH_4$, and $N_2O$ production and microbial communities mediating those processes in wetlands. Elevated atmospheric $CO_2$ and warming generally increase gas emissions, but effects of droughts differ with gas type and drying level. The responses of microbial community to climate changes in terms of composition, diversity and abundance are still in question due to lack of studies in wetlands. Based on the present review, it is suggested that future studies on microbial processes should consider microbial community and relationships between microbial function and structure with diverse environmental factors including climate changes. Such knowledge would be crucial to better understand and predict accurately any shifts in ecological functions of wetlands.

지난 2008년부터 2013년까지 우리나라는 홍수방어 및 가뭄을 대비하기 위하여 하천정비사업인 4대강 사업을 실시하였다. 또한, 4대강 사업은 환경적인 측면을 고려하기 위해 하천변에 대체습지를 조성하였다. 하지만, 대체습지 조성 이후 대체습지에 대한 평가가 제대로 이루어지지 않아 관리하는데 있어 문제가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 대체습지에 대해 기능을 평가하고 평가 결과를 통해 관리방안을 수립하는 것이 필요하다. 현재 습지의 기능은 수문학적, 생태학적, 지형학적으로 구분하여 평가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대체습지의 수문학적 평가를 위해 필요한 대체습지 제원 및 수리수문요소 등 관련자료를 수집하였다. 빈도해석과 수문모형을 통해 침수빈도, 침수심 등을 분석하여 수문학적 측면으로 대체습지를 평가하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 4대강 사업으로 조성된 대체습지의 관리방안을 수립하는데 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This study is to estimate economic damages of water shortage, especially drought. we assume scenarios of water shortage and use water input-output linear programming. The result is that economic damage is about 6.4 trillion won in the case of 10% water shortage. According to water shortage scenarios, the shadow price of water in Korea is increasing from 2,462 won to 76,902 won. This study indicates that water has a significant influence on the industrial production in Korea and provides the necessity of the climate change policy for water management.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) meteorological drought and RDI (Reservoir Drought Index) agricultural drought for Geum river basin. Drought Indices was calculated by collecting data of precipitation and agricultural reservoir water storage rate from 2014 to 2016. To evaluated the correlation between meteorological and agricultural drought, the Pearson correlation and the Receiver Operation Characteristic (ROC) analysis were conducted to evaluate the correlation between meteorological and agricultural droughts. The SPI-6 and RDI showed the highest relationship with Pearson coefficient 0.606 and ROC hit rates 0.722 respectively, and the spatial occurrence patterns of drought using overlapped SPI-6 and RDI, the big differences between the 2 indices were occurred in the upstream areas of Miho stream and Nonsan stream from August to October 2015. The analysis using reservoirs specifications for areas where reservoir droughts occurred was conducted, and the areas showing severe drought of RDI were the reservoir areas having relatively small value of basin magnifying power (BMP). This means that a reservoir has the reaction capability for agricultural drought mainly depending on the reservoir BMP.

The increased frequency of drought and flood due to climate change was a global problem. In particular, drought was recognized as a serious environmental, ecological, social, and economic disaster. Therefore, it is necessary to study the measures to prevent it. In this study, we will estimate the meteorological drought index in the Han River Basin and analyze the impact of climate change on drought. The change of the meteorological drought occurrence due to climate change in the Han River separated by the common drought and severe drought was analyzed using the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) scenarios provided by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The years 1973 - 2010 were selected for analysis in the current period. Using the scenario, we separated the future period (Target I: 2011 - 2039, Target II: 2040 - 2069, Target III : 2070 - 2099). The number of occurrences of less than -1.0 and -1.5 standard precipitation index were analyzed by SPI 3, 6, 12. Looking at the results, trends in rainfall in the Han River was expected to increase from the current figures, the occurrence of drought is predicted to decline in the future. However, the number of drought occurrence was analyzed to increase toward long-term drought. The number of severe drought occurrences was usually larger than the common drought estimated. Additional studies may be considered in addition to the agricultural drought, hydrological drought, socio-economic drought. This will be done by using efficient water management. The results can be used as a basis for future drought analysis of the Han River.

A chronic drought stress has been imposed during non-rainy season(from winter to spring) since 1990s. We faced the most significant water crisis in 2001, and the drought was characterized by sultry weather and severe drought on a national scale. It has been widely acknowledged that the drought related damage is 2-3 times serious than floods. In the list of the world's largest natural disaster compiled by NOAA, 4 of the top 5 disasters are droughts. And according to the analysis from the NDMC report, the drought has the highest annual average damage among all the disasters. There was a very serious impact on the economic such as rising consumer price during the 2001 spring drought in Korea. There has been flood prevention measures implemented at national-level but for mitigation of droughts, there are only plans aimed at emergency (short-term) restoration rather than the comprehensive preventive measures. In addition, there is a lack of a clear set of indicators to express drought situation objectively, and therefore it is important and urgent to begin a systematic study. In this study, a nonstationary downscaling model using RCM based climate change scenario was first applied to simulate precipitation, and the simulated precipitation data was used to derive Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI). The SPI under climate change was used to evaluate the spatio-temporal variability of drought through principal component analysis at three different time scales which are 2015, 2045 and 2075. It was found that spatio-temporal variability is likely to modulate with climate change.

Drought has different characteristics from other disasters. Say, drought effect can be prolonged according to drought duration and so the estimation of drought damage can be difficult. Therefore this study suggested and applied the proper drought damage estimation method developed based on previous methods. The suggested method was used for the drought damage estimations considering agricultural aspect and domestic water use which the data are available. We estimated drought damages on Gimhae-si, Namhae-gun, Uiryeong-gun, Changnyeong-gun, and Changwon-si in Gyungsang Nam-do from 2006 to 2008. As a result, in agricultural aspect, the damage on rice was about 195million won in Uiryeong-gun and on rice was about 67million won in Changnyeong-gun. In domestic water use, the damage was about 21billion won on 4 towns of Namhae-gun when we assumed the expense for sufferance is 400,000 won. We may need develope the method in the direction of the best use of present data for the improvement of the suggested method in agricultural aspect. In the case of the estimation of drought damage about domestic water use, we could suggest more realistic method if we consider the weights for the expense for sufferance and water use.
