전국적으로 약 18,000여개가 축조되어 있는 농업용 저수지는 국내농업용수 사용량 중 약 60%를 공급하는 핵심 농업기반시설로서 홍수기에 풍부한 수량을 저류한 후 관개기 혹은 갈수기에 주로 논벼 재배지역에 용수를 공급한다. 최근에는 가뭄에 의한 피해 심각성이 증가함에 따라 농업용 수확보대책 수립, 저수지 준설, 관정개발, 양수저류 등의 다양한 대응 방안을 마련하여 농업가뭄 극복을 위해 노력하고 있으나, 농업용수공급은 현장 물관리자의 경험을 토대로 공급되고 있어 공급량 관리가 정성적이고 제한적인 한계가 발생한다. 따라서, 농업용수의 효율적인 물 관리, 수원공으로부터 물공급의 합리적인 분배, 말단 수로 및 포장까지 안정적인 용수공급을 위한 물공급 및 분배 효율 분석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 서산지역의 신송저수지를 대상으로 2019년 5월부터 8월까지 통수일지 자료를 활용하여 농업용수 물공급 및 분배 모의, 관개효율을 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 부정류해석이 가능한 SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) 모형을 기반으로관개지구 용수공급 체계 네트워크와 들녘별로 용수공급이 가능하도록 구축하였고, 해당 지구의 실제 통수 시 수위 유량 계측을 통해 모델의 필수 변수 입력자료를 구축하였다. 전체면적 대비 수혜면적 비율과 전체 관개량 대비 해당 간선의 관개량 비율의 비교를 통해 수혜면적에 따른 관개효율을 분석하였으며, 각 수로별 공급량 대비 관개량 비율을 산정하여 수로별 관개효율을 분석하였다. 농업용수공급 효율 평가 결과는 수혜면적의 용수부족지역 파악, 시기별 용수배분의 공간적인 분포 모니터링 등 농업용수 이수대책에 활용하여 농업가뭄 상황 시 효율적인 물 배분 및 관리에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 인구 증가, 도시화 및 산업의 발달로 인해 생활·공업용수의 수요가 증가하면서, 상대적으로 농업용수의 비율은 감소하고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 수자원이용 현황 중 농업용수는 전체 물 사용량의 48%로 여전히 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 환경부 중심의 물관리 일원화 관련법 시행으로 국가 통합물관리 정책이 본격 추진됨에 따라 농업용수 가치의 재평가가 요구되고 있으며, 현재 수원공 확대의 경우 환경보호와 같은 이유로 농업용수 확보에 대한 많은 제약이 발생하고 있다. 공급된 농업용수 중 작물에 의해 소비되지 않고 하천으로 회귀되는 회귀수량은 하천 건천화 방지, 용수공급계획, 하천 유황예측 등 기여하는 바가 크다. 하지만 관개량과 회귀수량의 비로 나타내는 회귀율의 경우 지역에 따라 38.1%에서 70.5%로 큰 차이를 보이고 있으며, 지역별 회귀율 정량화에도 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 경기도 안성에 위치한 관개면적 429ha인 마둔 저수지를 대상으로 회귀율을 산정하고 농촌용수종합정보시스템 (Rural Agricultural Water Resource Information System, RAWRIS)에서 제공하는 저수지 수위 자료를 활용하여 마둔 저수지의 4월부터 9월 관개기 강수량, 저수율, 증발산량을 구축하였다. 물수지 분석 기반 회귀수량 산정모형으로부터 회귀율을 추정하였으며, 수로 네트워크 기반의 SWMM (Storm Water Management Model)과 비교를 통해 정량적인 회귀수량 및 회귀율을 산정하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 정량적인 회귀수량 및 회귀율 자료가 구축된다면, 농업용수의 재이용, 환경용수 및 하천유지용수, 용수공급계획 등 효율적인 농업 수자원관리에 기초자로로써 활용 가능할 것이라 판단된다.

농업유역은 농업 활동이 이루어지는 농경지와 산림지, 주거지 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 농경지에서 필요한 물을 확보, 공급하기 위한 수원공시설이 위치하고 있다. 수원공은 하천수 및 지하수를 저류, 취수하여 관개 지구에 공급하게 되는데 이로 인하여, 상, 하류 하천유황이 증가하거나 감소하게 된다. 물순환이란 비나 눈이 내려 침투, 유출, 증발산 등의 과정을 통해 공간적, 시간적으로 변화하며 이동하는 자연적인 현상을 말하며, 상하수도 등 배수시설의 영향에 따라 발생하는 인공계 물순환도 광범위한 물순환에 포함된다. 최근 불투수면의 증가, 과도한 지하수 사용 등으로 인해 하천의 건천화, 지표유출량 증가 등 물순환 구조가 왜곡되고 있으며 왜곡된 물순환 회복을 위해 물순환 선도도시 조성, 물순환 회복조례가 신설되는 등의 노력이 있었다. 물순환 선도도시 조성 및 회복조례는 불투수면의 저감, LID 기법 적용 등을 통한 물순환 개선에 초점을 맞추고 있으나, 농업유역의 물순환은 농경지와 농업용수 공급을 위한 수원공에 큰 영향을 받아 이를 통한 물순환 개선에 초점을 맞춰야 한다. 본 연구에서는 농업유역의 농경지 및 수원공 관리방안에 따른 유역 단위 물순환 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 모듈 기반 농업유역 수문모형을 통해 농업유역 물순환을 모의하였으며, 물순환율 개념을 통해 유역 단위 물순환 변화를 평가하였다. 물순환율은 환경부에서 제시한 (1-직접유출률) (%)의 식과 농업유역 특성을 반영한 농업유역 물순환율 두 가지를 통해 평가하였다. 농업유역 수자원 관리방안은 수원공인 농업용 저수지의 제한 수위운영에 따른 효과와 농경지는 관개 지구에 물꼬 및 담수심 관리방안을 적용하였으며 각 관리방안에 따른 물순환율을 도출하였다. 농업용 저수지는 제한 수위운영을 통한 유역 물순환 개선 효과를 확인하였으나 관개 지구에 적용한 물꼬 및 담수심 관리방안의 효과는 미비한 것으로 나타났다.

최근 기후변화, 과도한 지하수 이용 등으로 유역 환경이 변화하고 있으며, 이에 따른 부작용으로 하천의 건천화, 지표유출량 증가, 증발산량 감소 등 물순환 구조가 왜곡되고 있다. 물순환 과정은 지역적 조건에 따라 다르게 나타나며, 모의 요소와 해석 기법도 다르다. 따라서 지속가능하고 건전화된 물순환을 위해 해당 유역의 물순환계를 정확히 파악하고 고려하여 객관적으로 정량화할 수 있어야 한다. 현재 우리나라 농업유역은 논, 용·배수로, 농업용 저수지가 존재하며, 종합적인 농촌용수 물순환 해석을 위해 농촌용수 요소별 해석 기술 및 모듈 개발, 모델링 기법 등을 이용하여 농촌수자원의 체계적·과학적 해석 및 관리 시스템 개발이 이루어져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 강원도 원주시에 위치한 흥업저수지를 대상으로 농촌용수의 물순환 과정을 정립하였으며, 저수지 시점부·말단부, 농업용 저수지, 저수지 유역으로 구분하여 물순환 분석을 수행하였다. 물순환 모의 요소로 저수지 수위, 유역 유출량, 수로부 공급량 및 배수량, 회귀수량 등으로 선정하였으며, 수로 네트워크 기반의 SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) 모형을 이용하여 종합적인 농촌용수 물순환 해석을 수행하였다. 또한, 물순환 해석 기법의 적용성 검증을 위해 모의 요소별 모니터링을 수행하였으며, SWMM 모형과 모니터링을 비교하여 적용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 농촌지역 특성 및 기후변화를 고려한 농촌수자원의 안정적인 공급과 국가 청정 수자원 확보를 위한 통합 물관리 정책을 실현하는데 기초 자료로써 활용 가능할 것이라 사료된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the cultivation period, adaptive genetic resources, growth and development patterns, and water consumption for rice cultivation in the desert environment of United Arab Emirates (UAE). R esearch on rice cultivation in the desert environment is expected to contribute to resolving food shortages caused by climate change and water scarcity. It was found that the optimal cultivation period of rice was from late November to late April of the following year during which the low temperature occurred at the vegetative growth stage of rice in the UAE. Asemi and FL478 were selected to be candidate cultivars for temperature and day-length conditions in the desert areas as a result of pre-testing genetic resources under reclaimed soil and artificial meteorological conditions. In the desert environment in the UAE, FL478 died before harvest due to the etiolation and poor growth in the early stage of growth. In contrast, Asemi overcame the etiolation in the early stage of growth, which allowed for harvest. The vegetative growth phases of Asemi were from early December to early March of the following year whereas its reproductive growth and ripening phases were from early March to late March and from late March to late April, respectively. The yield of milled rice for Asemi was 763kg/10a in the UAE, which was about 41.8% higher than that in Korea. Such an outcome was likely due to the abundant solar radiation during the reproductive growth and grain filling periods. On the other hand, water consumption during the cultivation period in the UAE was 2,619 ton/10a, which was about three times higher than that in Korea. These results suggest that irrigation technology and development of cultivation methods would be needed to minimize water consumption, which would make it economically viable to grow rice in the UAE. In addition, select on of genetic resources for the UAE desert environments such as minimum etiolation in the early stages of growth would be merited further studies, which would promote stable rice cultivation in the arid conditions.

Water footprint of a product and service is the volume of freshwater used to produce the product, measured in the life cycle or over the full supply chain. Since water footprint assessment helps us to understand how human activities and products relate to water scarcity and pollution, it can contribute to seek a sustainable way of water use in the consumption perspective. For the introduction of WFP scheme, it is indispensable to construct water inventory/accounting for the assessment, but there is no database in Korea to cover all industry sectors. Therefore, the aim of the study is to develop water footprint inventory within a nation at 403 industrial sectors using Input-Output Analysis. Water uses in the agricultural sector account for 79% of total water, and industrial sector have higher indirect water at most sectors, which is accounting for 82%. Most of the crop water is consumptive and direct water except rice. The greatest water use in the agricultural sectors is in rice paddy followed by aquaculture and fruit production, but the greatest water use intensity was not in the rice. The greatest water use intensity was 103,263 $m^3$/million KRW for other inedible crop production, which was attributed to the low economic value of the product with great water consumption in the cultivation. The next was timber tract followed by iron ores, raw timber, aquaculture, water supply and miscellaneous cereals like corn and other edible crops in terms of total water use intensity. In holistic view, water management considering indirect water in the industrial sector, i.e. supply chain management in the whole life cycle, is important to increase water use efficiency, since more than 56% of total water was indirect water by humanity. It is expected that the water use intensity data can be used for a water inventory to estimate water footprint of a product for the introduction of water footprint scheme in Korea.

In order to manage forest recreation resources effectively, it is necessary to establish objective and quantifiable evaluative standards. They can be used to evaluate the present management conditions of recreation resources and to monitor the conditions continuously on the basis of the established evaluative standards. Normative approach is one of alternatives to help establish evaluative standards. Researchers and forest managers have been interested in the approach, and its usefulness in managing recreation resources has been emphasized. This paper evaluated the present conditions of the campgrounds on the basis of users' normative evaluative standards using the data collected by on-site survey at two campgrounds (Baemsagol Campground and Second Campground) in Chiri-Mountain National Park in 1.993. This paper established evaluative standards for eight impact indicators using normative approach, and it evaluated the present management conditions of the campgrounds on the basis of them. The present management conditions for noise time and littering behavior were worse than the evaluative standards at Baemsagol and Second Campground. Present conditions for inconsiderate behavior, number of tents, number of campers, and waiting time for using water supply were worse than the evaluative standards only at Baemsagol Campground. The present management conditions for distance between tents and waiting time for using restroom were better than the evaluative standards at both campgrounds. This study introduced how normative approach can be used to establish evaluative standards, and based on the study result, some management directions were suggested.

The objective of this study was to estimate the pollutant loads from paddy fields by cultivation practices using a non-point-sources models. One of them is CREAMS-PADDY model that was developed considering the water balance and mass balance of paddy fields. The CREAMS-PADDY model was applied to provide basic data to reduce runoff loadings under various scenarios such as various water management control and various fertilizer condition. The model was verified against T-N, T-P and runoff flow data collected during cropping periods at 2000. The model results agreed well with the measured data in verification. The results showed that the model could be used for estimating the runoff loadings from irrigated paddy fields by cultivation practices was possible. Comparison of simulated the standard height and the sluice management of T-N and T-P runoff loadings from paddy fields were +32.4%, +10.3% in 10 mm below the standard height, -29.2%, -35.9% in 20 mm above the standard height, 52.6%, 59.0% in 40 mm above the standard height, respectively. Comparison of simulated the standard fertilizer and the fertilizer control of T-N and T-P runoff loadings from paddy fields were -1.3%, -21.7%in reduction of conventional fertilizer 30%, -1.0%, -12.5% in reduction of standard fertilizer 30%, respectively. Therefore, reducing nonpoint-sources nutrient loading by reducing fertilization may not work well in the range of normal paddy rice farming practices, and instead it could be achieved by reducing surface drainage outflow.

In the context of the fourth industrial revolution, data-driven decision-making has increasingly become pivotal. However, the integrity of data analysis is compromised if data quality is not adequately ensured, potentially leading to biased interpretations. This is particularly critical for water level data, essential for water resource management, which often encounters quality issues such as missing values, spikes, and noise. This study addresses the challenge of noise-induced data quality deterioration, which complicates trend analysis and may produce anomalous outliers. To mitigate this issue, we propose a noise removal strategy employing Wavelet Transform, a technique renowned for its efficacy in signal processing and noise elimination. The advantage of Wavelet Transform lies in its operational efficiency - it reduces both time and costs as it obviates the need for acquiring the true values of collected data. This study conducted a comparative performance evaluation between our Wavelet Transform-based approach and the Denoising Autoencoder, a prominent machine learning method for noise reduction.. The findings demonstrate that the Coiflets wavelet function outperforms the Denoising Autoencoder across various metrics, including Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Mean Squared Error (MSE). The superiority of the Coiflets function suggests that selecting an appropriate wavelet function tailored to the specific application environment can effectively address data quality issues caused by noise. This study underscores the potential of Wavelet Transform as a robust tool for enhancing the quality of water level data, thereby contributing to the reliability of water resource management decisions.

This study was conducted to predict and analyze water quality changes due to climate change using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model for the main stream and major tributaries of the Yeongsan River Basin. To enhance the reliability of the model, input data was constructed using weather and flow data provided by the government from 2007 to 2021, and the model was calibrated. The mid-emission scenario (SSP2-4.5) and extreme emission scenario (SSP5-8.5), derived using the WRF climate change model from the 6th IPCC report, were applied to SWAT to predict flow and nutrient loads. The water quality changes under future climate change scenarios were analyzed by categorizing them into short-term (2021-2040), mid-term (2041-2060), and long-term (2081-2100) periods. Water quality assessments were conducted based on the Living Environment Standards and the Real-Time Water Quality Index (RTWQI). As a result, in most areas of the Yeongsan River Basin, the concentration of TN was found to be at or above the "Poor" level, with the "Very Poor" level being predominant, especially in the main stream and downstream areas. While the concentration of TP showed some variation depending on the scenario, it exhibited a trend of improvement over the long term. The RTWQI assessment generally showed higher water quality levels compared to the evaluation based on living environment standards, with a trend of water quality improvement over time. This suggests that the concentration of TN can act as a major problem as agricultural regions are the main areas in water quality management in the Yeongsan River basin. Therefore, in order to improve water quality according to future climate change, it is expected that it is necessary to further reduce point and non-point sources such as agricultural non-point source reduction management such as fertilizer management and conservation agriculture, and improvement of roof greening and sewage treatment plants in urban areas.
