최근 국내외적으로 발생되는 대규모의 가뭄에 대하여 여러 과학자들은 자연적인 현상의 가뭄이 아니라 인간의 영향으로 변형된 유역 상황으로 증발산과 토양수분량 그리고 하천유량 등이 자연적인 상태와 다르게 변화되면서 지속된 가뭄으로 평가하고 있다. 우리나라는 대부분의 지역에서 댐과 저류지를 중심으로 수자원 관리가 이루어지고 있으며, 자연적인 수문과정에 의한 유출에 따른 수문학적 가뭄과는 차이가 존재한다. 사회경제적 인자(인구밀도, 농업 및 산업 경제규모 등)는 댐 및 저수지의 용수사용에 큰 영향을 미치며, 저류지의 저류량을 활용하여 판단한 인위적 용수사용이 고려된 수문학적 가뭄(인위적 수문학적 가뭄)과 자연 상태로의 수문학적 가뭄의 특성은 크게 다를 수 있다. 하지만, 사회경제적 인자들이 수문학적 가뭄에 미치는 영향에 대하여 비교한 연구는 상관성 분석을 토대로한 연구가 대부분이다. 본 연구에서는 인자들이 인위적 수문학적 가뭄에 미치는 정도를 정량적으로 비교하기 위하여 베이지안 네크워크 모형을 활용하여 사회경제적 인자와 인위적 수문학적 가뭄과의 관계를 분석하였다. 해당 관계를 바탕으로 코플라 함수를 활용함으로써 베이지안 네트워크 내의 결합확률을 산정하였다. 다양한 사회경제적 인자들에 중에서 인과지도를 바탕으로 활용 가능한 인자로 농업용수 사용량, 생공용수 사용량 자료를 구축하였으며, 기상학적 가뭄지수를 추가적으로 고려하여 한강유역 충주댐 유역에 적용하였다. 그 결과 기상학적 가뭄과 농업용수 사용량과 생공용수 사용량은 값이 증가함에 따라 인위적 수문학적 가뭄의 발생확률이 증가하였다. 사회경제적 인자 중에서는 생공용수 사용량(0.39~0.49)이 전반적으로 농업용수 사용량(0.36~0.48)보다 인위적 수문학적 가뭄에 보다 큰 영향을 미치고 있으며, 값이 적을수록 생공용수 사용량의 영향이 보다 더 크다는 것이 확인되었다. 이를 바탕으로 인위적 수문학적 가뭄의 대응을 위해서는 농업용수 사용량보다 생공용수 사용량의 감축이 우선적으로 이루어져야 그 효과가 클 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 제시한 모형은 베이지안 네트워크를 기반으로 하므로, 둘 이상의 인자에 대하여 복합적으로 가뭄에 영향을 미치는 영향에 대한 추가적인 연구가 가능하다.

This study aims to provide a predictive model based on climate models for simulating continuous daily rainfall sequences by combining bias-correction and spatio-temporal downscaling approaches. For these purposes, this study proposes a combined modeling system by applying conditional Copula and Multisite Non-stationary Hidden Markov Model (MNHMM). The GloSea5 system releases the monthly rainfall prediction on the same day every week, however, there are noticeable differences in the updated prediction. It was confirmed that the monthly rainfall forecasts are effectively updated with the use of the Copula-based bias-correction approach. More specifically, the proposed bias-correction approach was validated for the period from 1991 to 2010 under the LOOCV scheme. Several rainfall statistics, such as rainfall amounts, consecutive rainfall frequency, consecutive zero rainfall frequency, and wet days, are well reproduced, which is expected to be highly effective as input data of the hydrological model. The difference in spatial coherence between the observed and simulated rainfall sequences over the entire weather stations was estimated in the range of -0.02~0.10, and the interdependence between rainfall stations in the watershed was effectively reproduced. Therefore, it is expected that the hydrological response of the watershed will be more realistically simulated when used as input data for the hydrological model.

This study explored the 2022 drought over the Nakdong River watershed. Here, we developed a bivariate regional frequency analysis method to evaluate the risk of hydrological drought. Currently, natural streamflow data are generally limited to accurately estimating the drought frequency. Under this circumstance, the existing at site frequency analysis can be problematic in estimating the drought risk. On the other hand, a regional frequency analysis could provide a more reliable estimation of the joint return periods of drought variables by pooling available streamflow data over the entire watershed. More specifically, the Copula-based regional frequency analysis model was proposed to effectively take into account the tail dependencies between drought variables. The results confirmed that the regional frequency analysis model showed better performance in model fit by comparing the goodness-of-fit measures with the at-site frequency analysis model. We find that the estimated joint return period of the 2022 drought in the Nakdong River basin is about eight years. In the case of the Nam river Dam, the joint return period was approximately 20 years, which can be regarded as a relatively severe drought over the last three decades.

The most drought assessments are based on a drought index, which depends on univariate variables such as precipitation and soil moisture. However, there is a limitation in representing the drought conditions with single variables due to their complexity. It has been acknowledged that a multivariate drought index can more effectively describe the complex drought state. In this context, this study propose a Copula-based drought index that can jointly consider precipitation and soil moisture. Unlike precipitation data, long-term soil moisture data is not readily available so that this study utilized a Gaussian Mixture Non-Homogeneous Hidden Markov chain Model (GM-NHMM) model to simulate the soil moisture using the observed precipitation and temperature ranging from 1973 to 2014. The GM-NHMM model showed a better performance in terms of reproducing key statistics of soil moisture, compared to a multiple regression model. Finally, a bivariate frequency analysis was performed for the drought duration and severity, and it was confirmed that the recent droughts over Jeollabuk-do in 2015 have a 20-year return period.

This study performed the bivariate drought frequency analysis for duration and severity of drought, using copula functions which allow considering the correlation structure of joint features of drought. We suggested the confidence intervals of duration-severity-frequency (DSF) curves for the given drought duration using stochastic scheme of monthly rainfall generation for 57 sites in Korea. This study also investigated drought risk via illustrating the largest drought events on record over 50 and 100 consecutive years. It appears that drought risks are much higher in some parts of the Nakdong River basin, southern and east coastal areas. However, such analyses are not always reliable, especially when the frequency analysis is performed based on the data observed over relatively short period of time. To quantify the uncertainty of drought frequency curves, the droughts were filtered by different durations. The 5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 95% confidence intervals of the drought severity for a given duration were estimated based on the simulated rainfall time series. Finally, it is shown that the growing uncertainties is revealed in the estimation of the joint probability using the two marginal distributions since the correlation coefficient of two variables is relatively low.
