The objectives of the study were to elucidate functional modifications in relation to hydrological, physico-chemical and ecological aspects in Daechung Reservoir by the upper dam constructions of Youngdam Reservoir and analyze temporal and spatial dynamic patterns using trophic parameters of TN, TP, chlorophyll (CHL), and Secchi depth (SD). Hydrological data such as inflow, precipitation, and water levels before (BDC, 1995$\sim$2000) and after (ADC, 2001$\sim$2006) the dam construction showed that precipitation had greater correlations with inflow volume in the BDC (r=0.964, p=0.002) than in the ADC (r=0.857, p=0.029). This outcome indicates that the upper dam construction influenced the inflow and water level of Daechung Reservoir. One of the greatest changes after the dam construction was decreases of nutrient contents (TN, TP) and increases of algal biomass (as CHL) as the water residence time increases. Values of CHL had greater relations with TP in the ADC (r=0.412, p<0.001) than the BDC (r=0.249, p<0.001), indicating that CHL had greater response at a given phosphorus in the ADC. Thus, algal yield at a given TP (CHL : TP ratios) increased in the ADC, resulting in a greater CHL-TP relations. Long-term interannual TP, TN, SD, and CHL showed greater variations in the riverine zone (RZ) than any other transition (TZ) and lacustrine zones (LZ). This phenomenon was mainly attributed to rapid hydrological response in the riverine zone (RZ) to flow reductions (short water residence time) from the upper dam, resulting in ambient contents of nutrients and light regime along with functional relations of CHL-TP.

This study selected optimal sites in Myeongsasimni located in west coast of Korea for stratigraphic research containing extreme climate event during quaternary period by spatio-temporal analyses of changes in sedimentary environment and land use employing 1918 topographic map, 2000 digital terrain map, 1976 and 2012 air photographies. The study area shows no significant changes in topographic characteristics that hilly areas with relatively large variations in elevation are distributed over north and south part of the study area, and sand dues are developed along the coast line. Moreover, flat low lying areas are located at the back side of the sand dues. The movement of surface run off and sediment loads shows two major trends of inland direction flow from back sides of sand dunes and outland direction flow from high terrains inland, and the two flows merge into the stream located in the center of the study area. Two sink with individual area of $0.2km^2$ are observed in Yongjeong-ri and Jaryong-ri which are located in south central part and south part of the study area, respectively. In addition, sea level change simulation reveals that $3.4km^2$ and $3.64km^2$ are inundated with 3 m of sea level rise in 1918 and 2000, respectively, and it would contribute to chase sea level change records preserved in stratigraphy. The inundated areas overlaps well with sink areas where it indicates the low lying areas located in south cental and south part of the study area are identical for sediment accumulation. The areas with minimal human impact on sediment records over last 100 years are $3.51km^2$ distributed over central and south part of the study area with the land use changes of mud and rice field in 1918 to rice field in 2012. The candidate sites of $0.15km^2$ in central part and $0.09km^2$ in south part are identified for preferable locations of geologic record of extreme climate events during quaternary period based on the overlay analysis of optimal sedimentary environment and land use changes.

As facilities such as dam reservoir wetlands and agricultural irrigation reservoir wetlands are built, sedimentation occurs over time through erosion, sedimentation transport, and sediment deposition. Sedimentation issues are very important for the maintenance of reservoir wetlands because long-term sedimentation of sediments affects flood and drought control functions. However, research on resignation has been estimated mainly by empirical formulas due to the lack of available data. The purpose of this study was to calculate and compare the sediment deposition rate by developing a multiple regression model along with actual data and empirical formulas. In addition, it was attempted to identify potential causes of collapse by applying it to 64 reservoir wetlands that suffered flood damage due to the long rainy season in 2020 due to reservoir wetland sedimentation and aging. For the target reservoir, 10 locations including the GaGog reservoir located in Miryang city, Gyeongsangnam province in South Korea, where there is actual survey information, were selected. A multiple regression model was developed in consideration of physical and climatic characteristics, and a total of four empirical formulas and sediment deposition rate were calculated. Using this, the error of the sediment deposition rate was compared. As a result of calculating the sediment deposition rate using the multiple regression model, the error was the lowest from 0.21(m³km²/yr) to 2.13(m³km²/yr). Therefore, based on the sediment deposition rate estimated by the multi-regression model, the change in the available capacity of reservoir wetlands was analyzed, and the effective storage capacity was found to have decreased from 0.21(%) to 16.56(%). In addition, the sediment deposition rate of the reservoir where the overflow damage occurred was relatively higher than that of the reservoir where the piping damage occurred. In other words, accumulating sediment deposition rate at the bottom of the reservoir would result in a lack of acceptable effective water capacity and reduced reservoir flood and drought control capabilities, resulting in reservoir collapse damage.

In order to confirm the effectiveness of the natural river improvement technique, the analysis of vegetation was carried out in Yangjae stream between 1996 and 1998. The results of this study showed the numbers of riparian plants had increased from 41 species to 53 species, and the dominant species had changed from annual and biannual(Humulus japonicus, Persicaria thunbergii, Persicaria hydropiper, Panicum dichotomiflorum, Echinochloa crus-galli) to perennials (Phragmites communis). The variation in biomass and biodiversity index were measured and calculated according to the rehabilitation method. Biomass were varied 302 to $828g/m^2$ and biodiversity index was varied 1.53 to 1.52 at point bar plots(A treatment plots) from 1996 to 1998. In conclusion, the natural river improvement technique which has operated in Yanjaecheon for three years has contributed to restoration of riparian plants. Additionally, subsequent study using this technique should be followed in the near future.

This study aims to understand the developmental trajectories of life satisfaction among retirees and to examine what factors differentiate different trajectory classes. This study used three waves of longitudinal data from Korean Retirement and Income Study and data collected every two years(2005, 2007, and 2009). Subjects were respondents aged 50-69 who identified to be retired between wave 1 and wave 2. Finally, this study used 243 respondents for final data analysis. Life satisfaction was measured by seven items. The latent class growth model and multiple logistic regression model were used for data analysis. This study identified three distinct trajectory classes: high stable class(47.7%), high at the early stage but decreased class(42.8%), and low at the early stage and then decreased class(9.5%). This study founded that approximately 50% of the retirees experienced the decline of life satisfaction after retirement and about 10% of the sample was the most vulnerable group. This study analyzed what factors make different among the distinct trajectory groups. As a results, retirees who experienced the improvement in health change were more likely to be in 'high stable class' compared to 'hight at the early stage but decreased class'. In addition, retirees who were less educated, maintained the same health status rather than the improvement, worked as a temporary or a day laborer, and had less household income were more likely to belong to 'low at the early stage and then decreased class' relative to 'high stable class'. This study suggests that there are distinct three trajectories on life satisfaction among the retirees and finds out factors differentiating between trajectory groups. Based on these findings, the study discusses the implications for social work practice and further study.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Mekong River streamflow alteration due to climate change. The future climate change scenarios were produced by bias corrections of the data from East Asia RCP 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios, given by HadGEM3-RA. Then, SWAT model was used for discharge simulation of the Kratie, the main point of the Mekong River (watershed area: $646,000km^2$, 88% of the annual average flow rate of the Mekong River). As a result of the climate change analysis, the annual precipitation of the Kratie upper-watershed increase in both scenarios compared to the baseline yearly average precipitation. The monthly precipitation increase is relatively large from June to November. In particular, precipitation fluctuated greatly in the RCP 8.5 rather than RCP 4.5. Monthly average maximum and minimum temperature are predicted to be increased in both scenarios. As well as precipitation, the temperature increase in RCP 8.5 scenarios was found to be more significant than RCP 4.5. In addition, as a result of the duration curve comparison, the streamflow variation will become larger in low and high flow rate and the drought will be further intensified in the future.

This paper defines the hydro-geomorphological river area to estimate the change of the river function before/after levee construction, and proposes the methodology that calculates the river area by using GIS. The boundary of river area is determined by the 100-year potential flood inundation area without the levee effect of the flood protection. Firstly, 1918' land-use map was digitized and the changes were analyzed by comparing with 2007' digitized map. The result shows that urban/farmland zone in Mankyung river area were increased by 0.4%/11.6% and bare ground was decreased by 10.0% so that the effective use of floodplain due to levee construction leaded to better productivity, but the decrease of the environment function of the river was predicted as result of the reduction of the river area.

고속방사소재는 연신공정이 없이 6,000m/min이상의 고속방사공정만이 있으므로 원가절감이 되고, 빠른 냉각, 높은 변형속도 등으로 섬유의 결정화도, 분자와 결정의 배향 및 모폴로지(morphology) 변화 등의 기계적 및 섬유상의 특성이 종래의 원사와는 다르게 된다. 방사속도가 증가함에 따라 배향도가 증가하면서 결정영역 또한 증가한다. 또한 기존 연신사에 비해 큰 결정크기를 갖는데 방사속도에 에 따른 방사응력의 증가가 응력유도 결정화도를 유발하여 결정크기 및 결정화도를 증가시키고,따라서 고분자의 용융점도를 고온측으로 이동시키는 현상을 나타내게 한다. 즉, 고속방사에 있어서는 연신에 필요한 임계응력 이상의 과도한 응력이 가해짐으로 인해 결정구조가 일반 연신사에 비해 현저히 발달한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 고속방사 원사를 통일한 조건으로 염색하는 경우 기존의 연신사보다 염착량이 많아 농색으로 염색이 가능하고 염착속도도 빠른 특징을 갖는 데이는 고속방사 원사의 비결정 배향이 낮고 느슨한 구조를 갖기 때문에 염료의 침투가 용이한 것으로 해석되고 있다. PET 섬유는 방사 후 형태안정성을 부여하기 위해서 염색 전처리 공정에서 열을 가하게 된다. 이런 과정에서 섬유의 미세구조가 변하게 되는데,특히 고속방사의 경우 섬유 형성과정이 연신사와는 다르므로 열에 의한 구조 변화와 이에 따른 염색성 변화에 대해 검토해 보는 것은 고속방사의 응용면에서 꼭 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 고속방사소재의 가장 단점인 잔류신도, 저수축현상, stiff감을 보완하면서 고속방사소재의 장점인 심색성을 부각시켜 차별화된 복합사 제조기술을 개발하기 위해 그 기술개발이 기초 연구로서 일반 일반 DTY사와 고속방사소재인 HOY사를 이용한 DTY사의 물성 및 염색 특성을 비교분석 하고자 한다.

감조하천을 비롯한 주요 하천에서 수자원량의 정량화는 수위-유량관계곡선식 개발로부터 가능한 일이다. 그러나 신뢰성 있는 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하는 것은 수문관측의 불확실성과 현장의 열악한 사정 등으로 발생하는 오차들 때문에 어려운 일이다. 조위의 영향을 받는 감조하천은 무 강우에도 수위의 변동이 심한 특성으로 수위와 유량의 관계를 규정하는 것은 일반 하천의 경우보다 난해하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 감조하천의 유출특성 분석에 관한 기초적인 연구로 향후 감조하천 구간에 설계되는 수공구조물의 설계, 혹은 치수목적으로 설계되는 유수지 등의 설계에 이용될 유량자료를 제공하기 위함이다. 유량자료를 생산하기 위해서는 대상 수위관측소지점의 수위-유량관계곡선식으로부터 수위-수문곡선을 유량-수문곡선으로 환산하여야 한다. 이렇듯 유량자료는 곡선식의 정밀도에 전적으로 좌우되기 때문에 신뢰성 있는 곡선식 개발은 중요한 일이다. 본 연구에서는 감조하천에서의 유량자료 생산과 유출 특성을 분석하고자, 만경강 수계에 위치하는 목천 지점을 대상유역으로 선정하였다. 2006년 저 평수기 및 홍수기에 걸쳐 유량측정을 실시하여 다수의 유량측정성과를 확보하였으나 조위의 영향으로 산만한 수리특성을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 영향을 파악하기 위해서 감조의 영향권에서 각각의 유량이 어떻게 변화하는지 검토하고자 국립해양조사원 해양자료실의 조위관측소에서 제공하는 군산외항 지역의 조석예보표를 이용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석 결과, 유량측정 당시 간조와 만조의 영향권에서 측정이 이루어진 관계로 유량과 유속 등의 수리 특성이 많은 변화가 발생한 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 같은 영향으로 목천과 같은 감조하천의 경우, 저수위 측정성과는 그 분산정도가 심해 일반화된 수위-유량관계 곡선의 개발이 의미 없다고 판단되며, 홍수기에 측정된 성과를 바탕으로 고수위대의 수위-유량관계 곡선식을 개발하여야 할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해 일부 확인된 바와 같이, 일반적인 자연하천이 아닌 감조하천의 경우는, 각각의 수위대별 유량 값의 변화가 발생하는 바 기간별 혹은 간조와 만조부를 포함하여 유량측정을 하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The rainwater pumping station located near a river prevents river overflow and flood damages by operating several pumps according to the appropriate rules against the reservoir. At the present time, almost all of rainwater pumping stations employ pumping policies based on the simple rules depending only on the water level of reservoir. The ongoing climate change caused by global warming makes it increasingly difficult to predict the amount of rainfall. Therefore, it is difficult to cope with changes in the water level of reservoirs through the simple pumping policy. In this paper, we propose a pump operating method based on deep reinforcement learning which has the ability to select the appropriate number of operating pumps to keep the reservoir to the proper water level using the information of the amount of rainfall, the water volume and current water level of the reservoir. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, the simulations are performed using Storm Water Management Model(SWMM), a dynamic rainfall-runoff-routing simulation model, and the performance of the method is compared with that of a pumping policy being in use in the field.
