The frequency of flash floods in mountainous areas is increasing due to the abnormal weather that occurs increasingly in the recent, and it causes human and material damages is increasing. Various plans for disaster mitigation have been established, but artificial plans such as raising embankment and dredging operation are inappropriate for valleys and rivers in national parks that prioritize nature protection. In this study, flood risk assessment was conducted for Gyeryongsan National Park in Korea using the WMS (Watershed Modeling System)which is rainfall runoff model for valleys and rivers in the catchment. As the result, it was simulated that it is flooding in three sub-catchments (Jusukgol, Sutonggol, Dinghaksa) of a total in Gyeryongsan National Park when rainfall over the 50 years return period occurs, and it was confirmed that the risk of trails and facilities what visitors are using was high. The risk of trails in national parks was quantitatively presented through the results of this study, and we intend to present the safe management guidelines of national parks in the future.

Recently, there have been flood damages due to the climate change and the flash flood continuously in Korea and there are several flood disaster mitigation plans that are normally most of management plan for water related disasters even though drought disasters are as important as flood disasters. In this study, it is underlined that the research on solution of water shortness due to the drought disasters is currently required since the frequency of drought damage is not very many but continuously increasing. There was big drought damage in TaeBaek City of Kangwon province due to the serious lack of water during autumn, 2008 to spring, 2009. This study therefore analyses the characteristics of hydrometeorological conditions by rainfall frequency analysis and the operations of Gwangdong dam that is a source of multi-regional water supply by analysing water demand. As results of study, there was a drought with 20 years returning period which is not really available to fill the reservoir as usual and which could only filled 52% of reservoir. The rainfall during the dry season was less than normal, however, the water demand from the TaeBaek City was higher than normal. As researching several reasons of water shortness including the reasons described above, this study might be useful for drought mitigation plan.

The aim of study is to present how to estimate and use the FRI (Flood Risk Index) for classifying area zones based on regional flooding risk in terms of the integrated flood risk management. To estimate the FRI at a spatial resolution of city/county/town units for the Nakdong River Watershed, the 17 representative flood indexing factors are carefully selected for the three flood indexes, such as PI (Pressure Index), SI (State Index), and RI (Response Index) under the P-S-R (Pressure-State-Response) classification system. Because flood indexing factors are measured at different scales and units, they are transformed into a common domain by the T-Score normalization technique. The entropy weight coefficient method is also applied to calculate the weight of flood indexing factors in order to reduce subjective judgement on the effect of weight coefficients. The three flood indexes of PI, SI, and RI are integrated for an overall value of the FRI to evaluate the flood risk of districts. To examine the practical application of the proposed FRI, the FRI results with/without the weight coefficients are compared with flooding zones of natural disaster risk areas officially announced in 2010. It is expected that the FRI ensured by full verification can make regional protection plans against flooding disasters with respect to causes and characteristics of past floods.

Climate change is becoming increasingly unpredictable. This has led to changes in various systems such as ecosystems, human life and hydrological cycles. In particular, the recent unpredictable climate change frequently causes extreme droughts and torrential rains, resulting in complex water resources disasters that cause water pollution due to inundation and retirement rather than primary disasters. SWAT was used as a watershed model to analyze future runoff and pollutant loads. The climate scenario analyzed the RCP4.5 climate scenario of the Meteorological Agency standard scenario (HadGEM3-RA) using the normal quantitative mapping method. Runoff and pollutant load analysis were performed by linkage simulation of climate scenario and watershed model. Finally, the results of application and verification of linkage model and analysis of future water quality change due to climate change were presented. In this study, we simulated climate change scenarios using artificial neural networks, analyzed changes in water temperature and turbidity, and compared the results of dams with artificial neural network results through W2 model, a reservoir water quality model. The results of this study suggest the possibility of applying the nonlinearity and simplicity of neural network model to Hapcheon dam water quality prediction using climate change.

A numerical simulations were performed to investigate the storm surge during the passage of Typhoon Maemi on the coast of Busan. The typhoon landed on the southern coasts of Korean Peninsula at 21:00, September 12, 2003 with a central pressure of 950 hPa, and the typhoon resulted on the worst coastal disaster on the coast of Busan in the last decades. Observed storm surges at Busan, Yeosu, Tongyoung, Masan, Jeju and Seogwipo harbors during the passage of the typhoon were compared with the computed data. The simulated storm surge time series were in good agreement with the observations. The simulated peak storm surges were estimated to be 230 cm at Masan harbor, 200 cm at Yeosu harbor and Tongyoung harbor, and 75 cm at Busan harbor. The computed storm surges along the east coast of Busan measure 52 to 55 cm, exhibiting a gradual reduction in surge height as one moves further from the coast of Busan. Therefore, coastal inundation due to the storm surge in the semi-enclosed bay can induce great disasters, and the simulated results can be used as the important data to reduce the impact of a typhoon-induced coastal disaster in the future.

This research proposes strategies about providing detour route information and traffic management for flood disasters. Suggested strategies are based on prevention and preparation concepts including prediction, optimization, and simulation in order to minimize damage. Specifically, this study shows the possibility that average travel speed is increased by proper signal progression during downpours or heavy snowfalls. In addition, in order to protect the drivers and vehicles from dangerous situations, this study proposes a route guidance strategy based on variational inequalities such as flooding. However, other roads can have traffic congestion by the suggested strategies. Thus, this study also shows the possibility to solve traffic congestion of other roads in networks with emergency signal modes.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in an increase in impervious areas and an increase in runoff, therefore, this causes more flooding and damage in urban areas. This study has analyzed the effects of improvements to the roughness coefficient in storm sewer pipes on flood runoff and outflow through rainfall-runoff simulations. The simulations are implemented by three scenarios to evaluate effects of improvements to the roughness coefficient for the improved length ratio to the total length, diameters and mainlines of sewer pipes. The size and length of the sewer mains are large and long to effectively increase the flow rate to the outlet, secure the passage discharge capacity of the pipe and reduce the overflow. It is effective for flood reduction that the improvement to roughness coefficient is first conducted in mainlines with longer lengths and larger diameters. The results from this study can provide a guideline for prioritizing of the sewer pipe replacement.

When a heavy rain occurs, many electrical shock victims are produced every year because lamp poles are under water. In order to prevent electrical shock accidents at a street lamp, the investigation was carried out at real field conditions. The investigation was performed about the circuit configuration of a panel board, a wiring method, a grounding conductor, a lamp pole and so on. The related regulation was analyzed and the problems were presented. Also, the domestic and foreign things were compared and analyzed by the investigation of the field conditions, and the related standard was already revised. Through investigating the field conditions and analyzing the related regulation, it is intended to present the real data to establish more effective preventive measures against electrical shock accidents at a street lamp to be installed on the road. In the future, the analytical data can be applied to stabilize other electrical facilities on the road as well as a street lamp, and to reduce the electrical disasters.

효율적인 수자원 관리를 위한 하천정비기본계획과 유역치수계획의 수립은 정확한 홍수량을 산정을 통해여 이루어지며, 이러한 첨두홍수량에 대한 계산이 좀 더 정밀해져야 할 필요성이 있다. 흐름해석에서 중요한 요소인 조도계수는 원래 하상재료의 조도(roughness)를 나타내는 척도로서 하상재료 및 하상표면의 특성에 의해 결정되어지는 값이지만, 실제 흐름계산에서는 식생, 하천 구조물, 사행도, 단면형태 단면 변화양상 등 하도의 상황뿐만 아니라 유량이나 수위에 의해서도 변화기 때문에(Frech, 1985) 이론적으로 조도계수를 정확하게 계산하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. 내륙부와는 매우 특이한 유출 형태를 보이고 있는 제주도의 하천은 평시는 대부분이 건천이지만 집중호우나 태풍 내습시에는 하천변의 침수와 범람 등의 재해가 발생하기도 한다. 지금까지 하천정비기본계획에서 제주도 하천의 조도계수는 자연형 하천에 적용되는 계수만을 전 구간에 일률적으로 사용하여 왔으나, 제주도의 하천은 대부분 15km내외의 짧은 구간에 산지와 농 목축업 및 도심하천이 혼재하고 있고 또한, 하상재료는 자갈 및 호박돌, 전석 등이 산재해 있어 구간별 조도분포도 매우 복잡하며 큰 변화를 보이고 있다. 하지만 하천현장에 대한 실측 조도계수의 조사나 측정은 전무한 실정이다. 한천의 하상재료의 입경을 이용한 방법으로 연구대상인 한천의 구간은 11.5km이며, 조도계수 산정구간을 10구간으로 세분화하고 각 구간마다 좌안, 중앙, 우안마다 100개씩 하상재료를 채취하였으며, 총 3000개의 채취한 하상재료를 이용하여 대표입경을 선정하고 입도분석 실시하였다. 지당 총 100개 이상의 자갈 입자를 선택하고 중경(intermediate axis)을 측정하도록 하고 있다. 그 결과를 기존의 조도계수 경험식에 대입하여 조도계수를 산정하였으며, 기존의 하천정비기본계획에 제시된 조도계수와 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 실측 조도계수을 이용한다면 보다 정확한 홍수량 산정과 하천실무에 적용 및 활용성이 기대된다.

제방 비탈면 보호방법 중에서 식생매트를 사용하는 방법은 제방의 보호와 함께 자연친화적이면서 생태계의 보전 측면에서 유리하고 이와 아울러 심미적 효과와 비용의 적절성 등의 요건을 만족하기 때문에 최근 국내 자연형 하천정비에서는 다양한 종류의 식생매트들이 빈번히 사용되고 있다. 하지만 식생매트로 인한 제방의 비탈면 보호 효과에 대해서는 아직까지 정성적으로 분석된 예가 미흡하여 이에 관한 연구가 시급히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 비탈면을 보호하는 비탈덮기는 생태계와 경관 등의 고려도 중요하지만 그보다 먼저 유수에 의한 파괴가 발생하지 않아야 한다. 따라서 제방의 비탈면 보호 효과가 다른 재료에 비해 상대적으로 취약할 수 밖에 없는 식생매트의 경우 적용범위와 한계를 명확히 하여야 잘못된 적용으로 인한 재해를 막을수 있을 것이다. 근래 들어 지역을 가리지 않는 국지성 폭우로 인한 홍수가 점차로 확대되고 있는 국내 상황을 고려할 때에도 식생매트의 한계와 적용범위의 결정은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술연구원 안동 하천실험센터 호안블록 시험구간에서 하류 10m 지점에서 시작하는 20m 구간에 두 종류의 식생매트를 교대로 설치하여 각각의 식생매트에 관한 파괴실험을 수행하였다. 두 종류의 식생매트 모두 코코넛 섬유를 원료로 사용하는 제품이며, 식생매트의 파괴 실험은 식생활착 이전의 상황을 재현하여 수행하였다. 이는 통상적으로 식생 활착 이전의 식생매트가 제방 비탈면을 보호하는 효과가 현저히 떨어지는 단점을 가지고 있기 때문에 이에 맞추어 본 실험에서는 식생매트의 자체의 단점과 한계를 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 실험 결과 두 종류의 식생매트는 모두 침수시 부력으로 인한 부유 현상과 식생매트 틈세 흐름으로 인한 기반층의 세굴 현상을 발견할 수 있었으며, 이러한 상황에서 식생매트를 고정하는 앵커가 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 발견할 수 있었다. 식생매트가 기반 토층에서 분리되어 파괴가 발생하는 유량조건은 각각 식생매트에 따라 서로 다르게 나타났는데, 이 또한 매트를 고정하는 앵커의 특성 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
