This study sought to reevaluate the water supply capacities of the Nakdong river dams, and identify measures to remedy any shortages using weirs, focusing on 5 multipurpose dams and 8 weirs. The reevaluation of the dams was performed by the HEC-5 program using the original design criteria and inflow data recorded for each dam. The results show that the capacities of the 3 dams has decreased to 73~87%. Three simulations were performed to determine the effect of coordinating the dams and weirs. The first simulation was based on individual operation of the dams; the second on coordinated operation of the dams; and the third on coordinated operation of the dams and weirs. To obtain a water supply reliability of 95%, the annual water shortage was calculated for a 20-year period (1992~2011). In addition, long-term runoff simulation data used in the national river basin investigation by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation were used with the dam discharge data, because long-term inflow data for the weirs were not available. The simulations were performed by the HEC-ResSim program, with the reservoir network divided into 2 groups based on the Waegwan water station. The results show that water supply capacity for the 3 simulations to be $2424Mm^3/yr$, $2612Mm^3/yr$ and $2734Mm^3/yr$, respectively. This indicates that coordinated operation of the dams and weirs could provide an additional water supply of $122Mm^3/yr$.

To investigate the return flow ratio of irrigation water, lots of observations were made during the irrigation periods in 2003 crop year. This Area is a portion of Dae-Am pumping station basin which is located in Changryung-gun, Gyeongnam province. A water balance analysis was performed for a paddy field in Dae-Am pumping station in the Nakdong river basin, which is constructed for irrigation water supply. Daily rainfall data in the this area were collected and irrigation water flow rate, drainage water flow rate, infiltration and evaportranspiration were measured in field area. Irrigation water flow rate and drainage water flow rate were continuously observed by water level logger(GTDL-L10) during the growing season. The infiltration and evaportranspiration were measured by cylindrical 300mm depletion meter and cylindrical 200mm infiltrometer, respectively. Total irrigation and drainage flows were 654.7mm and 281.2mm in 2003. Total infiltration and evaportranspiration were 36.0mm and 160.0mm respectively. The mean of the daily evaportranspiration rate was 4.3mmm/d. The prompt return flow and retard return flow ratio were 43.0％ and 5.5％, respectively. Total return flow ratio was 48.5％. Therefore, it can be concluded that the amount of irrigation water was much higher than design standard or reference in this study. It means that this was caused by the inadequate water management practice in the area where water was oversupplied on farmers' request rather than following sound water management principles, and design standard should be changed in the future.

Water shortage is becoming a serious problem of turfgrass management on sand green. Many superintendents in golf course in Korea have interested in use of irrigation of recycled water for turfgrass water management. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of greywater as an irrigation source on the growth and quality of creeping bentgrass green. Turfgrass was irrigated with tap water (TW) and greywater (GW), under with or without compound fertilizer application (nonfertilizer + TW, N-TW; non-fertilizer + GW, N-GW; fertilizer + TW, F-TW; fertilizer + GW, F-GW). The chemical properties of the green sand soil were not changed by irrigation. Turf color index, chlorophyll index, root length, clipping yield and nutrient uptake of GW treatment were similar to TW treatment. The growth and quality of turfgrass were more likely related with the fertilizer application than irrigation source or quality. These results indicated that GW could be used as alternative irrigation source on the sand greens of golf courses.

Although drought is a natural phenomenon, its damage occurs in combination with regional physical and social factors. Especially, related to the supply and demand of various waters, drought causes great socio-economic damage. Even meteorological droughts occur with similar severity, its impact varies depending on the regional characteristics and water supply system. Therefore, this study assessed regional drought risk considering regional socio-economic factors and water supply system. Drought hazard was assessed by grading the joint drought management index (JDMI) which represents water shortage. Drought vulnerability was assessed by weighted averaging 10 socio-economic factors using Entropy, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Drought response capacity that represents regional water supply factors was assessed by employing Bayesian networks. Drought risk was determined by multiplying a cubic root of the hazard, vulnerability, and response capacity. For the drought hazard meaning the possibility of failure to supply water, Goesan-gun was the highest at 0.81. For the drought vulnerability, Daejeon was most vulnerable at 0.61. Considering the regional water supply system, Sejong had the lowest drought response capacity. Finally, the drought risk was the highest in Cheongju-si. This study identified the regional drought risk and vulnerable causes of drought, which is useful in preparing drought mitigation policy considering the regional characteristics in the future.

This experiment investigated seed yield and grain quality of rice plants treated with different irrigation methods (water supply until complete saturation, field capacity, and surface soil crack) compared with a conventional irrigation method (inundation). Each treatment began 20 days after transplanting and ended 35 days after heading. There was an 8, 18 and 18% reduction in irrigation water in the three treatments, respectively. Rice yield with complete saturation treatment was similar to that of conventional irrigation, while those of field capacity and soil crack were less by 7 and 13%. The ratio of filled grain was lower and amylose content was higher in the water-saving irrigation than those from conventional irrigation.

Biological enhanced treatment and send filtration are established being operated to remove nutrients and MBAS(Methylene Blue Activate Substance) in the most of Waste Water Treatment Plant(WWTP) in Korea. However, untreated synthetic detergents and nutrients which directly run into the water system present an unpleasant view because of the foam, taste and odor generating filamentous periphytic algae and interrupting self-purification in the stream. Therefore, this research was enforced to know the MBAS removal efficiency of the sand filtration about G WWTP which reuses effluent as urban stream management water. As a result, the maximum removal efficiency using sand filtration was 63% after 24 hours and particularly 30% after 2 or 4 hours which turned out to be not that effective. In conclusion, It is recognized that other methods of MBAS removal and a research will be needed which reuse effluent as urban stream management water from now on. Because the MBAS removal with sand filtration is insufficient with economical efficiency from the fact that it needs long hours for a sand filtration treatment and the removal efficiency was almost below the expectation.

하천 및 저수지의 수량자료 수집을 위해 부자식 또는 레이더식 수위계 등의 계측기를 이용하여 수위의 변화를 측정한다. 그러나, 수량 모니터링을 위해 설치되는 계측기와 유지관리를 위한 인력소모 비용의 이유로 일부 지역에서만 제한적으로 수행되고 있어 정확한 수문 해석에 한계가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저가의 센싱장비와 라즈베리파이를 활용한 ICT 기술을 수량 모니터링분야에 적용하여 수위 모니터링 기술을 개발하고자 한다. 라즈베리파이(Raspberry Pi 3 B Model)는 오픈소스 기반의 초소형 컴퓨터로 여러 센서를 연결하여 다양한 수문 인자(토양수분, 온도, 수위 등)들을 측정할 수 있으며, 통신 모듈이 기본 내장되어 있어 통신망 구축을 통해 측정데이터를 데이터베이스에 저장할 수 있다. 수위센서(eTape)와 초음파센서를 연결하여 실제 하천 유량 모니터링에 활용되고 있는 부자식 수위계 장비와 비교 분석을 통해 활용 가능성을 검증하고자 하였다. 검증방법은 인공강우실험을 위해 설치된 플륨관에 수위센서(eTape)와 초음파센서를 부착하여 기존 운영중인 부자식 수위계와 비교하였다. 부자식 수위계의 측정결과와 두 센서의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 결정계수(R²)가 0.94 이상으로 나타났다. 분석결과와 같이 기존 고가의 수위 관측장비들을 대체하여 저가의 센서 기반 모니터링 장비들의 실용화가 가능할 것이라 판단된다. 향후 연구에서는 다양한 센서(수위, 초음파, 카메라 등)를 이용하여 농업용수 물수지 분석에 활용할 계획이다. 농업용수는 수자원 총량 중 차지하는 비율이 높음에도 불구하고 정량적 데이터가 부족한 실정이며, 지역별 공급 특성이 다양하여 이를 계량화하기 위해서는 다수의 계측기가 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발중인 센서를 활용하여 물순환 과정의 정량적인 계측을 통해 농업용수의 효율적인 관리 및 농업용수의 하천기여도 평가 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

지구상의 물 순환은 구름이 형성되어 비나 눈의 형태로 낙하하여 지표수를 형성하거나 일부가 땅속으로 스며들어 지하수를 형성하기도 한다. 또한, 지표면이나 수면, 식물의 입면을 통해서 대기중으로 증발되기도 한다. 대기중으로 소실되지 않은 물은 지표수나 지하수로 하천을 통해 바다로 흘러간다. 이와 같은 물 순환을 수문순환(hydrologic cycle)이라고 한다(Lee, 2008). 하지만 인구 증가 및 산업화로 인해 농업용수, 공업용수, 생활용수 사용이 증가하며 하천에서 직접 물을 취수하여 사용하고 있고 하수종말처리장, 농수로 등을 통해 회귀되는 유량이 많아 하천의 유출 특성을 파악하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 정확한 하천 유출 체계 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 하천에서 사용되고 유입되는 물의 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 수계 및 제 1지류인 전주천에서 운영되고 있는 취·배수 시설에 대해 문헌조사와 현장조사를 진행하였으며, 조사한 내용을 토대로 하천의 물 사용 체계 모식도를 작성하였다. 만경강 유역의 조사대상 구간은 대아댐 하류에서 전주천 합류점까지의 구간에 대해 조사를 실시하였으며, 전주천 유역은 삼천합류점에서 만경강 본류 합류점까지와 삼천 유역의 구이저수지에서 전주천 합류점 까지를 조사구간으로 선정하였다. 문헌조사의 대상시설은 저수지, 양수장, 취입보, 하수처리장 등이며, 조사대상은 하천의 유출 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 시설로 최소 하루 기준으로 일 취수량 0.20㎥/s, 일 방류량 0.20㎥/s 이상이 되는 시설에 대해서만 수행하였다. 현장조사에서는 현장을 방문하여 취·배수시설의 위치와 유입구의 위치, 도수로 등을 조사하였으며, 취·배수 시설의 유량 정확도 평가를 위해 현장에서 유량측정을 수행하여 허가량과의 비교 검토를 실시하였다. 만경강은 농업용수 사용의 증가에 따라 상하류 유량반전이 빈번하게 발생하였으나 이 연구를 통해 검토한 결과 만경강 유역내의 상하류 유량반전 시기가 과거에 비해 감소하였으며, 완주군(오성교)관측소와 완주군(용봉교)관측소의 손실고가 안정적으로 변한 것으로 확인되었으며, 전주시(미산교)관측소 또한 관측소 상류에 위치한 취·배수영향을 고려하여 유출률을 산정한 결과 과거에 비해 손실고가 일정하게 유지되는 안정된 결과를 도출하였다. 따라서 유역의 유출 체계 특성을 체계적으로 관리하기 위해서는 하천의 취·배수시설에 대한 다양성을 고려하여 하천 유출 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다.

하천수의 효율적인 관리와 균형적인 물배분을 위해 신뢰도 있는 하천수 사용량 계측자료가 필수적이다. 공업·생활용수는 유량계를 설치하여 취수량에 대한 신뢰도 있는 자료를 홍수통제소에 보고하고 있으나, 농업용수는 유량계 설치 지점이 적고, 수문조작 등의 간접적인 계측방법 허용으로 취수량 자료의 신뢰도가 낮은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 상류의 취수보를 대상으로 시험 유역 운영 및 검증을 통해 직접 계측방법의 취수량 산정 정확도를 비교하였다. 적용한 직접 계측방법은 초음파법, 전자파법, 수위-유량관계법으로 산정된 취수량 자료간의 절대오차 비교를 통해 정확도를 평가하였다. 점단위 취수량 자료 비교시, 현장측정값 대비 초음파법 5.86%, 전자파법 7.28%, 수위-유량관계법 11.84%의 오차가 발생하는 것으로 산정되어 초음파법이 가장 높은 정확도를 가지는 것으로 나타났고, 일단위, 월단위 자료 비교시 기준값으로 설정하였다. 일단위 취수량 자료 비교시, 초음파법으로 산정한 일평균 취수량 대비 전자파법 6.62%, 수위-유량관계법 8.62%의 오차가 발생하였다. 월단위 취수량 자료 비교시, 초음파법으로 산정한 월평균 취수량 대비 전자파법 5.81%, 수위-유량관계법 11.03%의 오차가 발생하였다. 산정된 취수량의 정확도는 초음파법, 전자파법, 수위-유량관계법 순이다. 고가의 첨단 계측장비를 적용하여 연속적인 유속 계측을 통해 산정한 취수량이 신뢰도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 농업용수는 사용시설별 취수량 규모 편차가 크기 때문에, 추후 중요도가 높은 사용시설과 비교적 낮은 시설간의 구분을 통한 직접 계측방법의 최적 선정 후속연구가 필요하다.

The Philippines is known for its abundant water resources such as the rainfall, where it has a mean annual rainfall range from 965 to 4,100mm. Due to the rapid urbanization of the country, the population in Metro Manila has been continuously increasing hence, the demand for a potable water supply also increases. To mitigate the scarcity of potable water supply, utilization of the water resources should be practiced. Rainwater harvesting is one way to utilize the rainfall runoff. This study analyzedthe potentiality of the rainwater harvesting on residential areas in Metro Manila. A water balance method based spreadsheet was used with input parameters including daily rainfall, catchment area, runoff coefficient, population and the water demand. The efficiency of the domestic water tank was analyzedusing the three different climatic conditions (i.e., minimum, median andmaximum annual rainfalls) and three different types of toilets (i.e., inefficient, conventional and dual-flush toilets). Furthermore, the overflow volume was used to determine which size of rainwater storage was more appropriate for the study area. The results of the study showed that for the three types of rainfall years, only the conventional and dual-flush toilets were suitable for the utilization of rainwater harvesting. The utilization of the $60m^3$ storage tank was sufficient for supplying the demandsof the 90 houses only for a small period of time, 3 months. Based from this study, to fully sustain the long-term water demand of the houses, the enlargement of the tank size having a capacity of 1,100 to $2,500m^3$ is ideal.
