  • We studied fish fauna at 10 study sites in Ungcheon stream for 4 times from April to October, 2011 to investigate the influence of artificial structures such as dam (with fish-way) and weir (without fish-way), and abandoned mine on fish community. A total of 12 families, 36 species of fishes were collected. Dominant species was Zacco platypus (23.4%) and subdominant species was Zacco koreanus (20.5%). Ten species (27.8%) of Korean endemic species and Micropterus salmoides, exotic species, were observed during the study period. Endangered species of Korea such as Pseudopungtungia nigra and Liobagrus obesus, and Korean endemic species, Coreoperca herzi, which are vulnurable for water quality and had been observed in previous study, were not identified in this study. According to the cluster analysis, Ungcheon stream were divided into three groups consisting upstream (St.1, St.2, St.3), midstream (St.4, St.5, St.6, St.7), downstream (St.8, St.9, St.10). Community structure similarity between upper and lower site of Boryeong dam with fish-way (St.6-St.7) was high, whereas that of weir, lack of fish-way (St.7-St.8) showed little similarity indicating that fish-way was required. According to the canonical correlation analysis, high level of conductivity and salinity at upstream was detected and Misgurnus mizolepis, and endemic species of Korea such as Silurus microdorsalis, Coreoleuciscus splendidus and Iksookimia koreensis were observed at this part of the stream. Since Korean endemic species, Squalidus gracilis majimae cohabit with exotic species, M. Salmoides at downstream whose width is wide and water velocity is low, protection was needed for these endemic species.

  • The ichthyofauna and fish community were studied in Daecheon Stream from April to October 2012. During the survey period a total of 42 species belonging to 13 families were collected. Dominant species by number was Zacco platypus(32.3%) and Tridentiger brevispinis(12.8%). In biomass, the dominant species was Z. platypus(27.7%) and Chelon haematocheilus(11.9%). Also, eight Korean endemic fish species and one endangered species (Rhodeus pseudosericeus) were collected. In addition, two exotic species(Carassius cuvieri and Micropterus salmoides) and migration fish species(Anguila japonica) were observed. Based on the length-weight relationship of Z. platypus, the b value was 3.21~3.29, and the condition factor(K) was 0.89 on average with stable condition. According to similarity analysis, fish communities in Daecheon Stream were divided into three groups; the upper reaches near a reservoir(St. 1), the middle reaches (St. 2 to 4) and the lower reaches near a weir(St. 5). Dominant species at each group were Zacco koreanus(St. 1), Z. platypus(St. 2 to 4) and T. brevispinis(St. 5). This result suggested that artificial structures such as dam and a weir have a marked effect on the distribution of fish communities in Daecheon Stream.

  • In order to find the best design of artificial stream for the riverbed filtration in multi-purpose filtration pond, a mathematical model was developed employing the energy line and the Manning's formula and was analyzed by the Euler's technique. Various design factors were investigated through scenario analyses of the artificial stream using the model. Results showed that the appropriate slope of the stream bottom was 2/10,000 and the appropriate infiltration rate at the streambed was $2.5m^3/m^2-day$ for the pond with the area of 100 ha, and that the Manning's roughness coefficient in this case was expected to be about 0.026 and the maximum water-depth was less than 1m. It was also shown that the longer the artificial stream the more advantageous it became for the riverbed filtration. Furthermore, results showed that it was not an efficient way to prevent clogging of the streambed by increasing the flow velocity of the stream and that the performance was higher near a weir with a large head drop.

  • 유기물의 복잡한 혼합물인 CDOM(Colored or Chromophoric Dissolved Organic Matter)은 하천 내 BOD(Biological Oxygen Demand), COD(Chemical Oxygen Demand) 및 유기 오염물질과 상당한 관련이 있다. CDOM은 가시광선 영역에서 빛을 흡수하는 성질을 가지고 있으며, 최근 원격감지 기술로 CDOM을 모니터링하기 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 백제보 상류 23km 구간에서 3년(2016~2018) 중 13일의 초분광영상을 활용하여 머신러닝 기반 CDOM을 추정 알고리즘을 개발하고자 한다. 초분광영상은 400~970 nm의 범위의 4 nm 간격 127개 대역의 분광해상도와 2 m의 공간해상도를 가진 항공기 탑재 AsiaFENIX 초분광 센서를 통해 수집하였으며 CDOM은 Millipore polycarbonate filter (𝚽47, 0.2 ㎛)에서 여과된 CDOM 샘플 자료를 200~800 nm의 흡수계수 스펙트럼으로 추출하여 사용하였다. CDOM 값은 전체기간 동안 2.0~11.0 m-1의 값 분포를 보였으며 5 m-1이상의 고농도 구간 자료개수가 전체 153개 샘플자료 중 21개로 불균형하다. 따라서 ADASYN(Adaptive Synthesis Sampling Approach)의 oversampling 방법으로 생성된 합성 데이터를 사용하여 원본 데이터의 소수계층 데이터 불균형을 해결하고 모델 예측 성능을 개선하고자 하였다. 생성된 합성 데이터를 입력변수로 하여 ANN(Artificial Neural Netowk)을 활용한 CDOM 예측 알고리즘을 구축하였다. ADASYN 기법을 통한 합성 데이터는 관측된 데이터의 불균형을 해결하여 기계학습 모델의 CDOM 탐지 성능을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 저수지 내 유기 오염물질 관리를 위한 설계를 지원하는데 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • A fishway is a structure on or around artificial and natural barriers, such as dams, locks and waterfalls, to help fishes' natural migration. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, termed SNUFOAM is used to analyze vertical hydraulic characteristic of rollway of fishway. Volume-of-fluid (VOF) method was used to handle free-surface. It is important to determine the factors influencing flow characteristics in fishway because fish use directional information from the flow characteristics to navigate through fishway. Fishway was modeled in 2-D and the influence of the stream velocity, slope, and weir height of fishway was tested. In results, the transition Reynolds number was $2{\times}10^5{\sim}3{\times}10^5$.

  • Ultra-low-head is an unexplored classification among the sites in which hydroelectric power can be produced. This is typically owing to the low power output and the economic value of the turbines available in this segment. A turbine capable of operating in an ultra-low-head condition without the need of a dam to produce electricity is developed in this study. A gate structure installed at a shallow water channel acting as a weir generates artificial head for the turbine mounted on the gate to produce power. The turbine and generator are designed to be compact and submersible for an efficient and silent operation. The gate angle is adjustable to operate the turbine at varying flow rates. The turbine is designed and tested using computational fluid dynamics tools prior to manufacturing and experimental studies. A parametric study of the runner blade parameters is conducted to obtain the most efficient blade design with minimal hydraulic losses. These parameters include the runner stagger and runner leading edge flow angles. The selected runner design showed improved hydraulic characteristics of the turbine to operate in an ultra-low-head site with minimal losses.

  • The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influences of extreme flood on urban stream's habitat environment at Shincheon stream in Daegu. In case of Shincheon stream, as any extreme floods have not flowed over the artificial bank, an extreme flood have an effects on inner part of confined channel. To make riparian park along Shincheon channel, Concrete and rubber weirs are constructed. These weirs interrupted flow of running water as obstacles during extreme flood, and running water moved aside into and destructed banks of lower-flow-channel. In reach of no weir, as all small-scale topographic bedforms were eliminated, habitat environment of river ecosystem was simplified, and biodiversity of river ecosystem was decreased. As simplified riverbed become irregular bedforms through frequent small-scale-floods, river ecosystem will become vigorous.

  • 하천수의 수심을 유지하기 위하여 설치된 콘크리트 취수보 대신 강자갈이나 쇄석을 채움재로 하는 돌망태를 사용하게 되면 토사퇴적으로 인한 건천화나 상, 하류 수생태계 단절과 같은 문제를 어느 정도 감소시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 자갈접촉산화작용에 의한 수질개선과 공사비 절감 효과 등의 장점이 있다. 그러나 돌망태는 투수성이므로 불투수성인 콘크리트 보다 저류측면에서 불리하다. 콘크리트 취수보에서의 흐름은 보 정점의 형상, 보의 폭, 높이, 그리고 월류수심에 좌우되며, 베르누이 방정식과 연속방정식에 의해 방류량 산정식을 유도하고, 유량계수와 같은 실험상수를 결정하여 방류량을 계산한다. 돌망태 취수보의 흐름은 보의 높이, 보의 길이, 보의 상류수심 외에 채움재의 형상, 입경, 배치상태가 흐름에 영향을 미친다. 따라서 콘크리트 취수보에 적용되었던 기존의 방류량 산정식을 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 돌망태 보의 통과류는 실험상수가 포함된 비선형 수두손실방정식으로 표현할 수 있다. 실험상수는 비표면적의 크기를 의미하는 채움재의 평균동수반경와 관계되며, 평균동수반경은 채움재 입자의 형상으로 부터 구할 수 있다. 따라서 실험을 통하여 채움재 입자의 형상과 크기에 따른 실험상수와 평균동수반경의 관계를 구하면 비선형 수두손실방정식으로부터 통과류의 방류량을 계산할 수 있게 된다. 본 연구는 돌망태 취수보가 대수층함양 원수 공급시설물로서 타당한가를 평가하기 위하여 수행되었다. 콘크리트 취수보의 월류량 계산은 기존의 방류량 산정식을 이용하였으며, 돌망태 취수보는 실험상수와 평균동수반경의 기존관계식을 이용하여 통과류의 방류량을 계산하였다. 이와 같이 계산된 각각의 수심-방류량 관계로 부터 수심을 비교하였다. 동일한 유량조건에서 돌망태 취수보의 상류수심은 콘크리트 취수보보다 작게 계산되었다. 상류수심은 돌망태 채움재 입자의 크기가 작을수록 증가하여, 돌망태 취수보는 채움재의 입자크기가 작을수록 저류성능이 개선됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 돌망태 취수보는 채움재의 입경이 작을수록 콘크리트 취수보의 저류수준에 접근할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.
