The agricultural water, which occupy about 61% of total water usage in the South Korea, is significantly objective to archieve effecitive water resources management. The objective of the study is to suggest a simple method in actual practice that could be used to estimate agricultural water usage in river considering hydrological condition. Historical record of agricultural water usage and runoff, which take account for hydrological condition of the basin, were obtained for totally 27 river basins. As the result, the high threshold value of the agricultural water usage rates compared to maximum usage amount has a particular correlations to the percent of normal year runoff for last 2 month, and threshold line of agricultural water usage rates was derived using the quantile regressions. Finally, two dimensionless threshold line and empirical formulas that described the correlation between the percent of normal year runoff for last 2 month and the agricultural water usage rate compared to maximum usage amount were derived. Also, the simple criteria to select which line and formula based on the characteristics of the basins was suggested but it need further studies. The result of the study could be used as an elemantary data in actual practice for water resoureces management.

Rivers have been damaged due to rapid urbanization, and river management has been carried out focusing on flow and flood control functions. Recently, interest in river restoration, emphasizing the environmental aspects of rivers, is increasing, but the beginning of river restoration requires an appropriate evaluation of the environmental flow required for the ecosystem. This study analyzed the effects on the habitat of the river ecosystem by estimating the changes in flow regime and environmental flow following the construction of the Buhang dam in Gamcheon, the first tributary of the Nakdong River. To evaluate the environmental flow, the dominant species of Gamcheon, Zacco Platypus, and the protected species Squalidus gracilis majime, and riparian vegetation were selected, and the environmental flow was calculated using the HEC-EFM (Ecosystem Function Model). The evaluated environmental flow was linked with hydraulic analysis and GIS platform, and habitat area change and habitat connectivity analysis before and after dam construction were performed by spatial habitat analysis in the river. Based on the results of this study, it can be used as a river restoration project and a dam operation plan considering the river environment through the calculation of environmental flow and habitat connectivity analysis to improve the habitat of the river ecosystem.

Recently, many studies have been conducted to use the radar rainfall in hydrology. However, in the case of weather radar, the beam is blocked due to the limitation of the observation such as mountain effect, which causes underestimation of the radar rainfall. In this study, the radar rainfall was estimated using the Hybrid Sacn Reflectivity (HSR) technique for hydrological use of weather radar and the runoff analysis was performed using the GRM model which is a distributed rainfall-runoff model. As a result of performing the radar rainfall correction and runoff simulation for 5 rainfall events, the accuracy of the dual-polarization radar rainfall using the HSR technique (Q_H_KDP) was the highest with an error within 15% of the ground rainfall. In addition, the result of runoff simulation using Q_H_KDP also showed an accuracy of R2 of 0.9 or more, NRMSE of 1.5 or less and NSE of 0.5 or more. From this study, we examined the application of the dual-polarization radar and this results can be useful for studies related to the hydrological application of dual-polarization radar rainfall in the future.

This study was carried out to analyze how the flow and water quality of the Sangsa Lake (juam control basin) change according to future climate change and what countermeasures are needed. Aquatic Ecosystem Model) was used in conjunction. As climate change scenarios, RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios of AR5 (5th Assessment Report) according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) were used. For the climate change scenario, detailed data on the Sangsa Lake basin were used by the Korea Meteorological Administration, and after being evaluated as a correction and verification process for the 10-year period from 2012 to 2021, the present, 2025-2036, 2045- The summer period from June to August and the winter period from December to February were analyzed separately for each year by dividing it into 2056 and 2075-2086. RCP 8.5 was higher than RCP 4.5 as an arithmetic mean for the flow rate of the watershed of the superior lake for the entire simulation period, and TN and TP also showed a tendency to be higher at RCP 4.5. However, in RCP 8.5, the outflow of pollutants decreased during the dry season and the outflow of pollutants increased during the summer, indicating that the annual pollutant outflow was concentrated during the flood season, and it is analyzed that countermeasures are needed.

담양 및 화순 홍수조절지는 홍수 시 본류에 계획방류량만 흘러가도록 제수문을 운영하고, 계획방류량을 초과하는 홍수량은 하도 및 조절지 내에 저류하여 홍수를 지체시킨 후 저류된 홍수량은 첨두홍수가 지나간 이후 방류하는 방법으로 영산강 유역의 홍수를 방어하기 위해 '12년 건설되었다. 그러나 홍수조절지는 200년 빈도의 홍수량을 저감 시키도록 설계됨에 따라 준공 이후 10년간 '20년 8월 홍수 등 3회만 홍수방어용으로 활용되었다. 영산강은 오염부하량 대비 유출량 부족 등으로 수질관리에 취약하고 하천유지용수를 공급하는 다목적댐이 없는 등 수자원 확보가 어려우므로, 비홍수기 홍수조절지에 환경대응용수를 담수 및 방류하여 영산강의 유량확보 및 수질개선 등 활용 다변화 방안을 모색하고자 한다. 이와 관련하여 '16년 및 '19년에 시범담수를 실시하였으나, 담수 수질 관리의 어려움, 방류 전후 강우 등 제한적 여건으로 인해 하류 유량증가 및 수질 개선 효과의 확인은 어려웠으며, 제방 물비침 등을 발견하여 시설 안정성 확보가 필요한 것으로 확인되었다. '21년 안정성 확보를 위한 보강 그라우팅을 시행했으며, '19년부터 '21년 2월까지 「홍수조절지를 활용한 영산강 수질개선 방안」연구용역을 실시하여, 비홍수기 활용방안을 수립하였다. '21년 4/4분기 댐과 보 등의 연계운영협의회에 '시범담수 계획' 안건 상정 및 의결을 거쳤고, '22년 3월 25~26일까지 담양 74mm, 화순 61mm 비가 내려 담양 63만m³, 화순 151만m³를 담수하고 18~19일간 저류 후 담양은 평균 3.0m³/초로 25시간 동안, 화순은 평균 5.0m³/초로 32시간 동안 하류로 방류하였다. 방류 후 담양·화순 모두 가까운 하류 수위국 수위 상승을 확인했으며, 화순의 경우 하류 수질에 일부 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 다만, 초기유출수 배제 등을 고려하지 않아 담수의 수질이 본류보다 좋지 않았으며, 이에 따라 수질 영향의 인과관계 확인이 어려웠다. 기존 연구용역에서 제시한 비홍수기 활용방안의 검증·보완을 위한 연구용역이 '22.5월부터 '23.12월까지 진행될 예정이며, 초기유출수 배제를 위한 조건 재수립, 수질 모니터링지점 확대 등 보완된 '시범담수 계획'을 '23.3월 댐과 보 등의 연계운영협의회에 보고하였다. 연말까지 연구용역과 연계한 시범담수·방류 시행 및 모니터링·효과분석을 통해 비홍수기 홍수조절지 최적운영방안을 마련할 계획이다.

Riverine tree management is crucial in realizing a balance between flood control and ecological preservation, which requires an accurate assessment of the impact of trees on river water elevations. In this study, eight different formulas for evaluating vegetation roughness considering the drag force acting on trees, were reviewed, and the characteristics and applicability of these methods were evaluated from a practical engineering perspective. The study compared the characteristics of vegetation roughness measurement methods for calculated roughness coefficients at different water depths and analyzed factors such as effects of tree canopy width, tree density and diameter, and tree stiffness coefficient, and water level estimation results. A comparison of roughness coefficients at the same water depths revealed that the Kouwen and Fathi-Moghadam formulas and the Fischenich formula yield excessive drag coefficients compared to other formulas. Factors such as channel geometry, tree diameter, and tree density showed varying trends depending on the formula but did not exhibit excessive outliers. Formulas considering the tree stiffness coefficient, such as the Freeman et al.'s formula and the Whittaker et al.'s formula, showed significant variations in drag coefficients depending on the stiffness coefficient. When applied to small- and medium-sized virtual rivers in South Korea using the drag coefficient results from the eight formulas, the results indicated a maximum increase in water level of approximately 0.2 to 0.4 meters. Based on this review, it was concluded that the Baptist et al., Huthoff et al., Cheng, Luhar, and Nepf's formulas, which exhibit similar characteristics and low input data uncertainties, are suitable for practical engineering applications.

우리나라의 홍수조절용댐은 총 5개소로 영산강유역에 두 개소와 한강유역에 세 개소가 있다. 한강유역에 있는 세 개소의 홍수조절지용댐은 한강상류의 북한지역에서 발생하는 집중호우에 대비하기 위한 댐으로, 임진강 하류지역의 수해방지를 위한 한탄강댐과 군남홍수조절지(군남댐)가 있으며 북한강 하류와 수도권의 홍수예방을 위한 평화의 댐이 있다. 영산강유역에 있는 두 개소의 홍수조절지는 2006년에 수립한 영산강치수종합대책에서 계획이 수립된 시설로 2011년 4대강 사업의 일환으로 설치하여 K-water에서 운영 중에 있다. 4대강 사업 이전의 영산강유역은 홍수량을 조절할 수 있는 홍수조절용량이 전무했던 실정으로 하도에서 홍수량의 전량을 수용해야했던 홍수에 매우 취약한 하천이었다. 그러나 4대강 사업을 통하여 영산강유역의 4대호를 비롯한 농업용댐의 숭상을 통한 홍수조절용량의 확보와 더불어 나주천변저류지와 담양홍수조절지, 화순홍수조절지를 설치하여 홍수로부터 상대적으로 안전한 하천으로 변모할 수 있었다. 그러나 영산강유역의 다른 하나의 과제는 여전히 남아있다. 우리나라의 하천 중에서 가장 수질이 악화되어 있는 하천이라는 불명예이다. 홍수조절지는 1년 중 3개월에 해당하는 홍수기에 사용할 수 있는 시설로 1년 중 9개월에 해당하는 비홍수기에는 홍수조절지의 효율적인 공간활용을 위하여 주민지원사업 등 다각도로 고민하여 사용하고 있으나 하천 외적인 문제를 수용하는 범주에 머무르고 있다. 하천이 가지고 있는 문제점을 다소라도 해소할 수 있는 목적으로 사용될 수 있다면 하천 외적인 문제를 수용하는 것 보다 하천 내적인 문제를 해소하는 목적으로 사용하는 것이 보다 바람직할 것으로 판단된다. 이를 위하여 영산강의 내적인 가장 큰 문제점은 수질악화로 인한 수질개선이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 홍수기로 한정되어 사용하는 홍수조절지를 해당하천의 내적인 문제를 다소라도 해소할 수 있는 공간으로 비홍수기에 기여할 수만 있다면 비홍수기의 활용목적을 확대하여 다목적조절지로의 변모가 필요하다고 판단한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영산강유역에 있는 담양홍수조절지와 화순홍수조절지의 두 개소 홍수조절지를 활용하여 영산강 수질개선에 기여할 수 있는 정도를 파악하였다. 비홍수기에 유출량의 일부를 조절지에 담수해 두었다가 수질개선 목적의 희석수로 방류하는 시나리오를 마련하여 시나리오별로 영산강의 수질개선효과를 분석하여 제시하였다. 수질개선효과를 분석하기 위하여 EFDC모델을 구축하고 모델 수행을 위한 시나리오는 조절지의 담수율과 방류량 그리고 조절지의 관리수질조건 등을 이용하여 작성하고 수질예측 결과에 따라 TOC, CHl-a, T-P 수질항목을 대상으로 수질개선효과를 분석하여 제시하였다.

This study was conducted using text mining and network theory to extract useful information for application for occupancy and performance of permit tasks contained in the permit contents from the permit register, which is used only for the simple purpose of recording occupancy permit information. Based on text mining, we analyzed and compared the frequency of vocabulary occurrence and topic modeling in five regions, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Gyeongsang, Jeolla, Chungcheong, and Gangwon, as well as normalization processes such as stopword removal and morpheme analysis. By applying four types of centrality algorithms, including stage, proximity, mediation, and eigenvector, which are widely used in network theory, we looked at keywords that are in a central position or act as an intermediary in the network. Through a comprehensive analysis of vocabulary appearance frequency, topic modeling, and network centrality, it was found that the 'installation' keyword was the most influential in all regions. This is believed to be the result of the Ministry of Environment's permit management office issuing many permits for constructing facilities or installing structures. In addition, it was found that keywords related to road facilities, flood control facilities, underground facilities, power/communication facilities, sports/park facilities, etc. were at a central position or played a role as an intermediary in topic modeling and networks. Most of the keywords appeared to have a Zipf's law statistical distribution with low frequency of occurrence and low distribution ratio.

Oahu Island is the third largest island of the Hawaiian chain which located in the northern hemisphere close to the center of the Pacific Ocean and is affected by storms and tsunamis in the northern and southern hemispheres. High-wave and high-energy waves are concentrated in the winter and summer, and the Oahu Coast is always in an active erosion environment. These natural effects are likely to become more severe with global warming and sea level rise. In addition, as the anthropogenic factors, there was indiscreet flood of development on the coast until the 1972 coastal management law was enacted. However, the present coastal erosion phenomenon was not serious than thought. The cause can be found in the improvement of the coastal management of the provincial government. The Hawaiian government is no longer applying this method, which was built prior to the enactment of the Coastal Control Act, due to increased erosion and side effects at other sites. So, in Hawaii, it is mainly applied to soft revetment methods such as supplying sand or making artificial sand dunes as an erosion prevention method. In Korea, there are some places where the soft revetment method is applied partially, but it is mainly composed of hard revetment structure.
