The continuous long-term rainfall-runoff simulation model SWAT has the advantage of being able to account for various land use, however, SWAT lacks the capability of simulating the drainage characteristics of urban area. On the other hand, SWMM, which is the most popular model for runoff analysis of urban watershed, has the advantage of being capable of considering surface and drainage characteristics in urban area, but SWMM cannot easily account for land use other than urban area within a watershed. In this study, SWAT-SWMM model, which builds on the strengths of SWAT and SWMM, has been applied to the Osan River Watershed which is a tributary watershed to the Gyung-Ahn River. From the application, the results from coupled SWAT-SWMM model has been compared to the ones from SWAT for each hydrologic component such as evapotranspiration, surface runoff, groundwater flow, and watershed and channel discharge, and the runoff characteristics of two models for each hydrologic component has been discussed.

우리나라의 최근에 개발된 신도시나 신시가지를 제외한 대부분이 합류식 하수관망으로 구성되어 있다. 이에 따른 초기강우시 도시 인접하천으로 유입되는 유출수가 수질오염을 가중시키고 있다. 분류식 하수관이 설치된 지역이라도 강우에 의해 도시지역 노면에서 우수관을 통해 하천으로 배출되며 유출수 자체도 오염물질 농도가 높고 유해물질까지 함유하고 있는 경우가 많다. 그러므로 도시하천에 대한 종합적인 수질관리를 위해서는 점오염원뿐만 아니라 초기강우시 도시 유출수의 수질 및 오탁부하량 등 비점오염원에 대한 기초조사 및 해석이 선행되어야 한다고 판단된다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 도시하천의 초기강우에 의한 유출수의 수질특성을 분석하기 위하여 홍제천, 중랑천, 남가좌배수구역 및 군자배수구역 등 4개 도시유역에서 직접 시료를 채취하여 각 수질항목에 대하여 분석하였다. 수질분석은 환경오염공정시험법이나 표준시험법에 준하였고, 현장에서 실측이 가능한 항목들은 현장에서 측정하였으며, 나머지 항목은 시료를 즉시 실험실로 운반하여 분석하였다. 홍제천은 1996년 8월부터 1997년 9월까지 5개 강우사상의 자료를 분석하였고, 중랑천은 2001년 5월부터 2005년 4월까지 7개 강우사상, 남가좌배수구역은 1995년 7월에서 1997년 9월까지 5개 강우사상, 그리고 군자배수구역은 2005년 4월부터 2007년 9월까지 11개 강우사상에 걸쳐 수질분석을 실시하였다. 분석된 수질자료를 이용하여 도시지역의 초기강우에 의한 초기유출수와 수질의 관계를 분석 비교 하였으며, 또한, 초기유출수에 따른 비점오염원별 상관성을 분석하여 유량 측정을 통하여 보다 손쉽게 총 오염부하량을 산출 할 수 있도록 비유량과 SS, $BOD_5$, COD 등의 수질성분간의 상관계수와 회귀식을 도출하여 이들 상관식으로부터 유량변화에 따른 수질성분의 예측에 활용토록 하였다. 그러나, 외삽구간의 유량에 대한 수질 예측 결과에는 큰 오차가 있을 수 있으므로, 보다 다양한 유량에 대한 수질관측자료로 보완된 상관식의 개발로 극복되어질 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이 연구의 성과는 도시유출에서 수질과의 상관성과 도시하천의 유량 수질관리에 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Fire-enhanced soil hydrophobicity often increases runoff and erosion in the mountain hillslope following severe wildfires. Estimation techniques for WEPP's parameters were studied in burnt mountain slopes. In burnt mountain slopes, the model over-predicted runoff in the small runoff and under-predicted runoff in the great runoff, and in the lower sediment runoff it had a tendency to over-predict soil loss. The effective hydraulic conductivity was most sensitive in the WEPP's runoff and its sediment runoff was mainly effected by the effective hydraulic conductivity, initial saturation, rill erodibility, and interrill erodibility. To improve the applicability of the WEPP, the adjustment coefficient of effective hydraulic conductivity was defined for runoff and the adjustment coefficient of rill erodibility and interrill erodibility was presented for sediment runoff. The adjustment coefficient of effective hydraulic conductivity in wildfire mountain slopes increased with maximum rainfall intensity of single storm and the vegetation height index. The adjustment coefficients of rill erodibility depended on soil components of size distribution curve and total rainfall depths in single storm. The adjustment coefficients of interrill erodibility decreased with increases of maximum rainfall intensity and vegetation height index. These results may be used in the application of WEPP model for wildfire mountain slopes.

This research was carried out to investigate the runoff pattern of nutrients by rainfall from the paddy field located at the southwest of Korea. Effective rainfalls were 17.0 and 21.2 mm for irrigation and non-irrigation period, respectively. The first runoff in paddy field was 6.3-33.7 mm (average=12.9 mm) and 5.9-12.5 mm (9.2 mm) for irrigation and non-irrigation period, respectively. And runoff ratio was 0.59-1.36 and 0.57-0.86 for irrigation and non-irrigation period, respectively. During irrigation and non-irrigation period, the outflow increased significantly with the precipitation. Pattern of precipitation-runoff differed between irrigation and non-irrigation period, as affected by precipitation intensity, hydrological condition, and cropping. There existed a linear relationship between the runoff loading of N and P and precipitation. During the irrigation and non-irrigation period, runoff loadings of N and P were not significantly different. However, there was significant difference in case of total suspended solids.

Common practice of Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model validation is to use a single variable (i.e., streamlfow) to calibrate SWAT model due to the paucity of actual hydrological measurement data in Korea. This approach, however, often causes errors in the simulated results because of numerous sources of uncertainty and complexity of SWAT model. We employed multi-variables (i.e., streamflow, evapotranspiration, and soil moisture), which were measured at mixed forest in Seolmacheon catchment ($8.54\;km^2$), in order to assess the performance and reduce the uncertainties of SWAT model output. Meteorological and surface topographical data of the catchment were obtained as basic input variables and SWAT model was calibrated using daily data of streamflow (Jan. - Dec.), evapotranspiration (Sep. - Dec.), and soil moisture (Jun. - Dec.) collected in 2007. The model performance was assessed by comparing its results with the observation (i.e., streamflow of 2003 to 2008 and evapotranspiration and soil moisture of 2008). When the multi-variable measurements were used to calibrate the SWAT model, the model results showed better agreement with the measurements compared to those using a single variable measurement by showing increases in coefficient of determination ($R^2$) from 0.72 to 0.76 for streamflow, from 0.49 to 0.59 for soil moisture, and from 0.52 to 0.59 for evapotranspiration. The findings highlight the importance of reliable and accurate collective observation data for improving performance of SWAT model and promote its facilitation for estimating more realistic hydrological cycles at catchment scale.

The groundwater recharge was assessed by using both SWAT and HELP models in Bocheong-cheon watershed. The SWAT model is a comprehensive surface and subsurface model, but it lacks the physical basis for simulating a soil water percolation process. The HELP model which has a drawback in simulating subsurface lateral flow and groundwater flow component can simulate soil water percolation process by considering the unsaturated flow effect of soil layers. The SWAT model has been successfully applied for estimating groundwater recharge in a number of watersheds in Korea, while the application of HELP model has been very limited. The subsurface lateral flow parameter was proposed in order to consider the subsurface lateral flow effect in HELP model and the groundwater recharge was simulated by the modified exponential decay weighting function in HELP model. The simulation results indicate that the recharge of HELP model significantly depends on the values of lateral flow parameter. The recharge errors between SWAT and HELP are the smallest when the lateral flow parameter is about 0.6 and the recharge rates between two models are shown to be reasonably comparable for daily, monthly, and yearly time scales. The HELP model is useful for estimating groundwater recharge at watershed scale because the model structure and input parameters of HELP model are simpler than that of SWAT model. The accuracy of assessing the groundwater recharge might be improved by the concurrent application of SWAT model and HELP model.

In order to assess hydrologic and nonpoint source pollutant behaviors in a watershed with Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model, the accuracy evaluation of SWAT model should be conducted prior to the application of it to a watershed. When calibrating and validating hydrological components of SWAT model, the Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency coefficient (EI) has been widely used. However, the EI value has been known as it is affected sensitively by big numbers among the range of numbers. In this study, a Web-based flow clustering EI estimation system using K-means clustering algorithm was developed and used for SWAT hydrology evaluation. Even though the EI of total streamflow was high, the EI values of hydrologic components (i.e., direct runoff and baseflow) were not high. Also when the EI values of flow group I and II (i.e., low and high value group) clustered from direct runoff and baseflow were computed, respectively, the EI values of them were much lower with negative EI values for some flow group comparison. The SWAT auto-calibration tool estimated values also showed negative EI values for most flow group I and II of direct runoff and baseflow although EI value of total streamflow was high. The result obtained in this study indicates that the SWAT hydrology component should be calibrated until all four positive EI values for each flow group of direct runoff and baseflow are obtained for better accuracy both in direct runoff and baseflow.

The study was investigated to runoff characteristics of non-point pollutants according to rainfall in Kokseong river watershed. The result of which is as follows : First of all, major reason which affect the formation of water quality of Kokseong River is judged to be caused by non-point pollution source which flows out from farmland and residential area. Flow of rainfall effluent in the downstream in which direct flow components of urban district and combined sewer overflows of farmland was intervened faster than that in the upstream reacted more promptly. Generation of pollutants by non-point source shows increasing trend in general in accordance with the increase in the intensity of rainfall but it was affected by SS, BOD, COD and T-P in the upstream part whereas BOD, COD and T-N were significantly affected by beginning period of rainfall in the downstream. EMC in the downstream increased approximately 3-315 times as compared to upstream, particularly the discharge of SS5 and T-P were extremely increased. While surface flow out of rainfall effluent in the upstream was only 4.7%, the surface flow in the downstream took up as much as 29%, which was major reason for the increase of EMC. From the above contents, we can see that the change in water quality according to the increase and decrease of effluent at the time of rainfall showed very complex pattern depending on the type of land use, and it is judged that the most important thing for the administration of non-point pollution source is to come up with the solution for the reduction of effluent at the beginning.
