Major objective of this study was to determine interannual and seasonal water quality along with characteristics of longitudinal gradients along the reservoir axis of the riverine zone (Rz)-to-lacustrine zone (Lz). Water quality dataset of five years during 2003~2007 used here were obtained from Ministry of Environment, Korea and ten physical, chemical and biological parameters were analyzed in the study. Similarity analysis, based on moropho-hydrological variables of reservoir surface area, watershed area, total inflow, and outflow, showed that the reservoirs were categorized as three groups of large-dam reservoirs (Chungju Reservoir, Daecheong Reservoir and Soyang Reservoir), mid-size reservoirs (Andong Reservoir, Yongdam Reservoir, Juam Reservoir and Hapcheon Reservoir), and small-size reservoirs (Hoengseong Reservoir and Buan Reservoir). According to the data comparison of high-flow year (2003) vs. lowflow year (2005), dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, biological oxygen demand (BOD), suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll-a (CHL) and electrical conductivity (EC) declined along the longitudinal axis of Rz to Lz and water transparency, based on Secchi depth (SD), increased along the axis. These results indicate that transparency was a function of Values of pH, DO, SS, SD, and EC at each site were greater in the low-flow year (2005) than the high-flow year (2003), whereas values of BOD, COD, TN, TP and CHL were greater in the high-flow year (2003). When values of TN, TP, CHL and SD in nine reservoirs were compared in the three zones of Rz, Tz, and Lz, values of TN, TP and CHL declined along longitudinal gradients and SD showed the opposite due to the sedimentation processes from the water column. Values of TN were not statistically correlated with TP values. The empirical linear models of TP-CHL and CHL-SD showed significant (p<0.05, $R^2$>0.04). In the mid-size reservoirs, the variation of CHL was explained ($R^2$=0.2401, p<0.0001, n=239) by the variation of TP. The affinities in the correlation analysis of mid-size reservoirs were greater in the CHL-SD model than any other empirical models, and the CHL-SD model had an inverse relations. In the meantime, water quality variations was evidently greater in Daecheong Reservoir than two reservoirs of Andong Reservoir and Hoengseong Reservoir as a result of large differences of water quality by long distance among Rz, Tz and Lz.

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) developed by the USDA-Agricultural Research Service for the prediction of land management impact on water, sediment, and agricultural chemical yields in a large-scale basin was applied to Daecheong Reservoir basin to estimate the amount of soil losses from different land uses. The research outcomes provide important indications for reservoir managers and policy makers to search alternative watershed management practices for the mitigation of reservoir turbidity flow problems. After calibrations of key model parameters, SWAT showed fairly good performance by adequately simulating observed annual runoff components and replicating the monthly flow regimes in the basin. The specific soil losses from agricultural farm field, forest, urban area, and paddy field were 33.1, $2.3{\sim}5.4$ depending on the tree types, 1.0, and 0.1 tons/ha/yr, respectively in 2004. It was noticed that about 55.3% of the total annual soil loss is caused by agricultural activities although agricultural land occupies only 10% in the basin. Although the soil erosion assessment approach adopted in this study has some extent of uncertainties due to the lack of detailed information on crop types and management activities, the results at least imply that soil erosion control practices for the vulnerable agricultural farm lands can be one of the most effective alternatives to reduce the impact of turbidity flow in the river basin system.

In this study long term rainfall-runoff model, developed based on SSARR, was applied to Geum river basin and its simulation results of major control points were compared with the corresponding observed channel discharges. The validities of the simulation results were examined with re-measured discharges of those control points. From the above procedure the points showing the unreliable results were found out and its principal causes are analyzed through hydrological inspection of runoff characteristics of their circumstances. Finally the simulation results were modified by the consideration of the effects by small-scale hydraulic structures which could directly affect the channel discharges. As a result the annual runoff simulations of two major points in Geum river basin, Yongdam and Daecheong dam sites, work well. However the low flow simulation of the point located between them, Sutong station, showed more or less the unreliable result. Its causes are considered by means of the hydraulic/hydrological inspection of the corresponding point.

Reservoir turbidity flows degrade the efficiency and sustainability of water supply system in many countries located in monsoon climate region. A decision support system called RTMMS aimed to assist reservoir operations was developed for the real time monitoring, modeling, and management of turbidity flows induced by flood runoffs in Daecheong reservoir. RTMMS consists of a real time data acquisition module that collects and stores field monitoring data, a data assimilation module that assists pre-processing of model input data, a two dimensional numerical model for the simulation of reservoir hydrodynamics and turbidity, and a post-processor that aids the analysis of simulation results and alternative management scenarios. RTMMS was calibrated using field data obtained during the flood season of 2004, and applied to real-time simulations of flood events occurred on July of 2006 for assessing its predictive capability. The system showed fairly satisfactory performance in reproducing the density flow regimes and fate of turbidity plumes in the reservoir with efficient computation time that is a vital requirement for a real time application. The configurations of RTMMS suggested in this study can be adopted in many reservoirs that have similar turbidity issues for better management of water supply utilities and downstream aquatic ecosystem.

We investigated flood control capacity of 484 agricultural reservoirs with storage capacity of over 1 million $m^3$ in South Korea. In general, agricultural reservoir secures flood control capacity by setting up limited water level during flood season from late June to mid-September. The flood control capacity of an agricultural reservoir during flood season can be divided into stable flood control capacity during non-flood season, stable flood control capacity associated with limited water level, and unstable flood control capacity associated with limited water level. In general, the flood control capacity significantly (P < 0.001) increased with reservoir capacity irrespective of type of spillway. The unstable flood control capacity accounted for about 20 % of reservoir capacity in the uncontrolled reservoirs. The study reservoirs showed flood control capacity of 0.60-65 billion (B) $m^3$ and stable flood control capacity of 0.43-47 B $m^3$, depending on the upper and lower limited water levels during the flood season. The stable flood control capacity of the gated reservoirs (0.29-0.33 B $m^3$) was about two times than that of reservoirs with uncontrolled spillways (0.14 B $m^3$). The ratios of stable flood control capacity to reservoir capacity for agricultural reservoirs range from 21 to 23 %, similar to that for Daecheong multipurpose dam. Moreover, the reservoirs with over 100 mm ratio of flood control capacity to watershed area accounted for 38 % of total gated reservoirs. The results indicate that many agricultural reservoirs may contribute to controlling flood in the small watersheds during the flood season.

The water quality of the Keum river was surveyed at 4 sites from April to September in 1995 and 1997. Average values of inorganic contents analyzed in 1997 were pH 7.2, EC 0.18dS/m, $NH_4-N$ 0.60mg/l, $K^+$ 4.12mg/l, $Ca^{2+}$ 12.12 mg/l, $Mg^{2+}$ 2.75mg/l, $Na^+$ 15.1mg/l, $NO_3-N$ 1.97mg/l, $PO_4^{3-}$ 0.15mg/l, $PO_4^-$ 18.9mg/l, $Cl^-$ 21.8mg/l, Fe 0.22mg/l, COD 19.7mg/l. On the basis of these values, it was suitable for the irrigation source. Water pH of the Keum river ranged from 6.7 to 8.0. EC of the Daecheong-dam was maintained below 0.13dS/m, but those of the middle and lower stream were ranged from 0.13dS/m to 0.32dS/m. Monthly average values of all the ration contents were the highest in April and were decreased thereafter. And it was slightly increased in September. However $NO_3-N$, $SO_4^{2-}$ contents were higher in June than any other months. All the inorganic contents were the highest at Taepyeong-ri, Yeongi-gun due to sewage water and livestock wastes. The inorganic contents were negatively correlated with precipitation, generally.

At the current of the time, the ecologic stream is the most important concern of all the country. Daejeon metropolitan city performing the plan to secure the Daejeon cheon (stream) instream water as the 1st stage of the ecologic stream development plan for the Daejeon 3 main stream. During the performing the plan to secure the Daejeon cheon (stream) instream water, the water sources are decided to supply from Yudeng cheon and Daecheong Dam by the various water sources evaluation. For the investigation of flow and quality of instream water, I applicate the HEC-RAS and QUAL2EU. Instream water is proposed as the $10{\sim}30cm$ water depth and 2 degree water quality (lower the BOD 2.0 ppm) by the report of city. It is reasonable to the water depth objective, but the water quality objective is not reasonable because of the seasonal quality changes of supplied water. I suggest that the basin management plan include the non-point source elimination must comprised to the Daejeon ecologic stream project.

The estimations of flow characteristics and river-bed erosion or sedimentation are very important for hydraulic structure design, floodplain management, and especially, river management. The objective of the study is therefore to estimate the change of flow characteristics and river-bed change due to a hydraulic structure construction. With 11.65 km study area of the Geum River which are located in downstream of Daecheong Dam, flow characteristics and river-bed change were estimated based on the RMA2 and SED2D model. As the result of the study, the increase of river-bed sedimentation in upstream and river-bed erosion in downstream were occurred by the construction of hydraulic structure.

대청댐은 준공이후 현재까지 37년의 수문자료가 축적되었으며 총 43회의 수문방류를 하여 연간 1.16회의 수문방류를 시행하였다. 본 연구에서는 그동안 수문방류와 지속적으로 최신화한 K-water 저류함수법을 이용하여 수문방류기간중 총강우량 현황과 강우량에 따른 11개의 강우분포형(증가, 감소, 증가감소, 균일, 감소증가, 증가계단, 감소계단, Huff1, Huff2, Huff3, Huff4)의 현황분석, 강우량별 분포형별 유출율을 분석하여 금년도 및 향후 발생이 예상되는 홍수시 수문방류결정에 활용하기 위함이다. 홍수발생 원인을 살펴보면 홍수기 초반에는 장마전선으로 인한 강우가 원인이며, 장마가 끝난 7월말~8월경에는 태풍의 영향을 받는다. 또한, 최근 엘리뇨 및 라니냐 현상의 출현에 따른 기후변화 및 이상기후의 영향으로 예측이 어려운 국지성 돌발호우의 증가로 홍수관리에 어려움을 겪기도 한다. 그러나 최근 가뭄발생이 잦아 우리나라 전역에 가뭄피해가 발생하고 있으며 또한, 홍수기에도 많은 강우가 내리지 않아 2013년 이후에는 수문방류 실적이 전무한 편이다. 홍수로 인한 재해는 인명피해 및 재산피해를 동반하는 우리나라에서 가장 심각한 재해중의 하나이며, 재해예방을 위한 홍수예보는 강우예측과 유출해석으로 나뉠 수 있다. 강우예측은 정교한 강우모형과 기상전문가의 몫이며, 정확한 유출해석은 수문학자들에 의한 연구과제였다. 우리나라 홍수유출해석에 주로 사용되는 모형은 저류함수법이며, 1961년 일본의 Kimura에 의해 창안된 이래 여러 학자들에 의한 다각도의 모형개선을 통해 수차례 모형 성능 향상이 되었다. 그동안 축적된 홍수수문자료를 바탕으로 대청댐 준공이후 수문방류기간중 강우량-강우분포-유출율 관계를 통해 강우량별, 강우분포별, 매개변수별, 유출율, 홍수조절율에 대한 통계분석 및 상관분석을 시행하여 향후 발생가능한 홍수관련 업무에 활용하고자 한다. 또한, 수문방류기간중 호우원인(장마전선, 태풍, 국지성홍수 등)에 대한 분석을 시행하고 호우사상별 매개변수를 산정하여 해당 호우에 대한 특성을 파악하고자 한다.

The distributed rainfall-runoff model which is developed in the country requires a lot of time and effort to generate input data. Also, it takes a lot of time to calculate discharge by numerical analysis based on kinematic wave theory in runoff process. Therefore, most river basins using the distributed model are of limited scale, such as small river basins. However, recently, the necessity of integrated watershed management has been increasing due to change of watershed management concept and discharge calculation of whole river basin, including upstream and downstream of dam. Thus, in this study, the feasibility of the GIS based physical distributed rainfall-runoff model, K-DRUM(K-water hydrologic & hydraulic Distributed RUnoff Model) which has been developed by own technology was reviewed in the flood discharge process for the Geum River basin, including Yongdam and Daecheong Dam Watersheds. GIS hydrological parameters were extracted from basic GIS data such as DEM, land cover and soil map, and used as input data of the model. Problems in running time and inaccuracy setting using the existing trial and error method were solved by applying an auto calibration method in setting initial soil moisture conditions. The accuracy of discharge analysis for application of the method was evaluated using VER, QER and Total Error in case of the typhoon 'Ewiniar' event. and the calculation results shows a good agreement with observed data.
