The increasing effect of urbanization has been more apparent through flooding and downstream water quality especially from heavy rainfalls. In response, stormwater runoff management solutions have focused on runoff volume reduction and treatment through infiltration. However, there are areas with low infiltration soils or are experiencing more dry days and even drought. In this study, a lab-scale infiltration system was used to compare the applicability of two types of soil as base layer in gravel-filled infiltration systems with emphasis on runoff capture and suspended solids removal. The two types of soils used were sandy soil representing a high infiltration system and clayey soil representing a low infiltration system. Findings showed that infiltration rates increased with the water depth above the gravel-soil interface indicating that the available depth for water storage affects this parameter. Runoff capture in the high infiltration system is more affected by rainfall depth and inflow rates as compared to that in the low infiltration system. Based on runoff capture and pollutant removal analysis, a media depth of at least 0.4 m for high infiltration systems and 1 m for low infiltration systems is required to capture and treat a 10-mm rainfall in Korea. A maximum infiltration rate of 200 mm/h was also found to be ideal to provide enough retention time for pollutant removal. Moreover, it was revealed that low infiltration systems are more susceptible to horizontal flows and that the length of the structure may be more critical that the depth in this condition.

As the water-cycle is transformed by increasing of the impermeable area in process of urbanization, decentralized rainwater management facilities(infiltration, harvesting and retention facilities) as source control are considered to be a method of restoring water-cycle of urban and reducing runoff. SWMM model was used to analyse the change of water-cycle structure before and after development in A new town watershed. Modified SWMM code was developed to apply infiltration facilities. The modified SWMM was used to analyse the change of water-cycle before and after infiltration trench setup in AJ subcatchment. Changes of the impervious area by development and consequent increase in runoff were analyzed. These analyses were performed by a day rainfall during ten years from 1998 to 2007. According to the results, surface runoff increased from 51.85% to 65.25 %, and total infiltration volume decreased from 34.15 % to 21.08 % in A newtown watershed. If more than 80 infiltration trenches are constructed in AJ subcatchment, the low flow and the drought flow increases by around 47%, 44%, separately. The results of this study, infiltration trench is interpreted to be an effective infiltration facility to restore water-cycle in new town.

Environmental stresses caused by climate change, such as high temperature, drought and salinity severely impact plant growth and productivity. Among these factors, high temperature stress will become more severe during summer. In this study, we examined physiological and molecular responses of maize plants to high temperature stress during summer. Highest level of $H_2O_2$ was observed in maize leaves collected July 26 compared with June 25 and July 12. Results indicated that high temperature stress triggers production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in maize leaves. In addition, photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) sharply decreased in leaves with increasing air temperatures during the day in the field. RT-PCR analysis of maize plants exposed to high temperatures of during the day in field revealed increased accumulation of mitochondrial and chloroplastic small heat shock protein (HSP) transcripts. Results demonstrate that Fv/Fm values and organelle-localized small HSP gene could be used as physiological and molecular indicators of plants impacted by environmental stresses.

A rapid urbanization has increased the portion of paved layer that results in the change of water circulation system. This change leads to frequent events of flooding, drought, and urban heat island. To resolve these issues, permeable pavement system based on Low Impact Development (LID) concept is being applied to international urban areas. Therefore it is necessary to establish a rational design procedure for the permeable pavement system that reflects our environmental conditions. iDue to inherent characteristics of permeable pavement system, water infiltrates thorough the layers so it may reduce the bearing capacity of sub-layers. In this study, an effort was made to investigate the effectiveness of geogrid reinforced crushed stone subbase layer based on field experimental program along with a limited numerical analysis. It reveals that geogrid reinforced sections improve the bearing capacity by close to 20%. In addition, a light weight deflectomenter (LWDT) appears to be promising for the compaction quality control of crushed stone subbase layer in order to construct qualified permeable pavement systems.

It has been known that endophyte (Neotyphodium coenophialum) is beneficial to tall fescue (Schedonorus phoenix Scop.) because the mutualistic endophyte is able to confers tolerance against abiotic and biotic stresses to tall fescue. However, this fungal endophyte produces toxic alkaloid resulting in negative effects on animal performance. Recently, Non-toxic endophyte have been developed and inserted into tall fescue to avoid detrimental effect on animal but remaining positive influence on tall fescue. In order to keep this beneficial impact, it is essential to have endophyte infected tall fescue through vertical transmission from maternal plants to seeds. Little research has been carried out on endophyte transmission. To get basic information related to endophyte transmission, experiment was conducted to examine the effect of plant genotype on endophyte transmission under water stresses. Overall endophyte concentration in seeds was higher than that in panicles and endophyte concentration in seeds and panicles relied on plant. This study revealed that drought is not a critical component to control the endophyte transmission from maternal plants to seeds. Plant genotype is an important factor controlling the endophyte transmission from plant to seed.

가뭄은 국민생활, 경제 등에 막대한 손실을 초래하며, 지역사회 공동체나 사회기능에 심각한 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 재해이다. 가뭄피해 최소화를 위해서는 단기대응, 복구지원 등의 사후대책에서 사전대비 및 예방으로의 정책 전환이 필요하며, 이러한 정책 수립을 뒷받침하기 위해서는 가뭄에 따른 정량적인 피해영향 평가가 우선적으로 필요한 실정이다. 가뭄은 그 지속기간이나 피해양상 및 영향범위 등에 있어 일반 자연재해와는 다른 특성을 지니고 있다. 우선 그 시점과 종점이 모호하고 다른 재해에 비해 장기간에 걸쳐 피해가 누적되며, 가뭄이 해갈된 후에도 장기간 파급효과가 나타날 수 있다. 또한 가뭄이 장기화 될수록 대형복합재난의 형태로 사회전반에 영향을 주기때문에, 영향범위를 설정하고 피해규모를 추정하는 것조차 쉽지 않은 것이 현실이다. 특히 가뭄으로 인한 제한급수, 단수 등의 상황에서 생 공용수의 부족으로 인한 국민생활과 산업의 피해규모 추정과 관련해서는 그 필요성에 비해 연구되거나 적용된 사례가 극히 드물다. 본 연구에서는 국가 가뭄정보분석센터에서 운영 중인 가뭄정보시스템을 통한 가뭄영향평가 정보 생성 및 제공을 위해, 가뭄 영향평가에 대한 국내 외 사례를 조사하고, 생 공용수에 대한 가뭄 피해액 추정 기법을 국민안전처, 국토연구원 등에서 수행된 연구사례와 일본의 갈수에 의한 감 단수피해액 추정기법을 중심으로 검토하였으며, 가뭄정보시스템 구축자료와의 연계 활용 방안에 대해 고찰하였다.

The aridity index, which is determined as the ratio of potential evapotranspiration to precipitation, is one of key parameters in drought characterization. Whereas the evaporative index, which is defined as the ratio of actual evapotranspiration to precipitation, represents the fraction of available water consumed by the evapotranspiration process. This study investigates variation of the aridity and evaporative indexes due to climate change during the 21st century in South Korea. Estimations of the aridity and evaporative indexes are obtained using SWAT mode based on ensemble of 13 different GCMs over 5 large basins of South Korea for 2 RCP scenarios (RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5). The results shows the opposite trends of the two indexes, where the aridity index is projected as always increase, while the evaporative index is expected to decrease in all of 3 future period (2011-1940, 1941-1970, 1971-2099). The estimated results also suggest that land cover influenced significantly evapotranspiration along with the change of climate. The study indicates that South Korea will be facing with a high risk of water scarcity in future due to climate change, which is seriously challenging for water planing and management in the country.

Background: A review of the literature was carried out to study dust and sandstorm (DSS) in terms of its ecosystem processes and relationship to other dryland disasters in Northeast Asia. Drylands are ecosystems that include grasslands, semi-deserts, and deserts, and these types of ecosystems are vulnerable due to their low primary productivity that depends on a small amount of precipitation. Results: Drought, dust, desertification, and winter livestock disasters (called dzud) are unique natural disasters that affect the region. These disasters are related in that they share major causes, such as dryness and low vegetation cover that combine with other conditions, wind, cold waves, livestock, and land-surface energy, to dramatically impact the ecosystem. Conclusions: The literature review in this study illustrates the macroscopic context of the spatial and temporal patterns of DSS according to geography, climate, and vegetation growth in the drylands of Northeast Asia. The effects of ocean climates and human activities were discussed to infer a possible teleconnection effect of DSS and its relations to desertification and dzud.

본 연구에서는 국가가뭄정보통계집 내 실제 농경지 피해 사례를 바탕으로 농경지 피해영향지수라는 새로운 개념을 정의하고, 이를 산정하기 위한 방법론을 제안하였다. 먼저, 전국 15개 광역시·도를 대상으로 2018년부터 2021년까지 실제 발생한 가뭄피해 사례들을 심층 분석하고, 대상 지역 내 전체 농경지 면적 대비 농경지 피해 면적의 비율을 대표적인 농업가뭄 피해 인자로 선정하였다. 평년 대비 영농기 강수량 및 저수율을 가뭄영향인자로 고려한 후, 실제 가뭄 발생 당시 인자들 간의 직간접적인 관계를 파악하고, 그 영향 정도를 수치화하여 농경지 피해영향지수를 정의하였다. 추가로, 가뭄피해 발생시기의 농업용수 비상지원 사례에 주목하여 농업용수 비상지원 여부에 따른 가뭄인자의 조건별 농업가뭄 발생확률을 산정하고, 그 결과로부터 대상 지역별 상대위험도 및 농업가뭄 취약 정도를 비교·평가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 산정한 농경지 피해영향지수와 상대위험도는 국내 농업가뭄 취약지역을 선정하는 기준 마련에 도움을 줄 수 있고, 지역별 농업용수 지원의 효율성을 평가하는 요소로써 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

가뭄은 사회·경제적으로 매우 큰 피해를 주는 자연재해이며, 그 시작과 발생 지역을 정확하게 예측하는 데 어려운 문제가 있다. 이에 수문 분야에서는 가뭄에 영향을 미치는 수문·기상인자들을 이용하여 다양한 가뭄지수를 개발하였고 이를 활용하여 가뭄 현상을 모니터링하고 예측 및 전망하는데 다양한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 하지만 가뭄지수들은 실제 가뭄이 어떠한 형태로 발생하는지 파악하기에 많은 한계점을 가지고 있다. 이에 최근 들어 미국과 유럽에서는 실제 농업, 환경, 에너지 등과 같은 다양한 분야에 걸쳐 가뭄 피해로 인해 생기는 가뭄 영향을 보다 체계적이고 상세한 데이터 인벤토리로 구축하고 가뭄지수와의 상관관계, 회귀분석과 같은 연구를 통해 가뭄 영향 예측을 시도하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보고서, 데이터베이스, 웹 크롤링(Web-Crawling)을 통한 뉴스 기사 등과 같은 자료를 수집하여 국내 가뭄 영향 인벤토리를 구축하였다. 또한 수문 분야에 널리 사용되고 있는 가뭄지수인 표준 강수 증발산량지수 SPEI(Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index)를 기반으로 지역에 따른 가뭄 영향을 예측하기 위해 최근 로지스틱 회귀모형, Random forest, Support vector machine, XGBoost 등의 다양한 머신러닝 기법을 적용하였다. 각 모형의 성능을 Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC) 곡선을 통해 평가하여 가뭄 영향 예측에 적절한 머신러닝 기법을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 텍스트 기반의 가뭄 영향 자료와 머신러닝 기법을 통한 가뭄 영향 예측 방법론은 가뭄 재난 관리에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있다.
