  • In urban area, flood risk is getting higher because of inland flood risk has grown up by changing rainfall intensity, rainfall pattern, changing land use and so on. Urban area is needed higher flood protection level to protect accumulated people, buildings and other infrastructures. However, even though former flood protection has focused on overflow from river, there is not a guide line for evaluating proper flood protection level. Thus, it is necessary to protect flood from inland flooding as well as overflow from river and need a proper method to evaluating flood protection level. This study present a method of determining flood protection elevation by using GIS tools for deciding proper flood protection level. The study result may contribute to urban flood protection measures in which inland flood risk increases.

  • To determine the flood protection elevation (FPE) in urban built-up areas, this study examines four possible methods: using the highest flood elevation in the past, extending base flood elevations of nearby watercourse to inland, and two simulation methods of inland flood under the same rainfall used in the watercourse planning nearby. According to the case study of the Jang-An Drainage Area, Seoul, the highest flood elevation in the past and simulation results of inland flood under the same rainfall in the watercourse planning nearby tend to get similar results, while extending base flood elevations of nearby watercourse to inland shows much higher elevations than other results. Meanwhile, cost-benefit analysis, when regulating residential/commercial uses below the FPE by each of four methods, suggest that planners need to consider carefully the economic feasibility of FPE used to choose appropriate methods.

  • This paper analyzed the flood propagation characteristics of each flood elevation due to failure of embankment in Muju Namdae Stream using recursive call algorithm. A flood propagation order by the flood elevation was estimated by setting destruction point at Beonggu and Chasan small dam through recursive call algorithm and then, the number of grids of each flood propagation order and accumulated inundation area were calculated. Based on the flood propagation order and the grid size of DEM, flood propagation time could be predicted each flood elevation. As a result, the study could identify the process of flood propagation through distribution characteristic of the flood propagation order obtained from recursive call algorithm, and could provide basic data for protection from flood disaster by selecting the flood vulnerable area through the gradient pattern of the graph for accumulated inundation area each flood propagation order. In addition, the prediction of the flood propagation time for each flood water level using this algorithm helped provide valuable information to calculate the evacuation path and time during the flood season by predicting the flood propagation time of each flood water level.

  • As a fundamental research to establish a safety operation plan for irrigation dams, this study presents hydrologic analysis conducted in Sungju Dam watershed based on various rainfall data. Especially those reservoirs without flood control feature are widely exposed to the risk of flooding, a safe and optimized operation program need to be improved against arbitrary flooding. In this study, reservoir routing program was developed and simulated for reservoir runoff estimation using WMS hydrology model. The model simulated the variations of reservoir elevation under the condition of open or closed emergency gate. In case of closed emergency gate, water surface elevation was given as 193.15 m, and this value exceeds the dam crest height by 1.65 m. When the emergency gate is open, the increment of water surface elevation is given as 192.01 m, and this value exceeds dam crest height by 0.57 m. As an alternative plan, dam height increase can be considered for flood control under the PMP (Probable Maximum Precipitation) condition. Since the dam size is relatively small compare to the watershed area, sound protection can be expected from the latter option rather than emergency gate installation.

  • In 2002 Thailand was faced with severe flooding in the North, Northeast and Central parts of the country caused by heavy rainfall of the monsoonal depression which brought about significant damages. According to the report by the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Agricultural and Co-operatives, the total damages were estimated to be about 6 billion bath. More than 850,000 farmers and 10 million livestock were effected. An area of 1,450,000 ha of farmland in 59 Provinces were put under water for a prolonged period. Satellite imageries were employed for mapping and monitoring the flood-inundated areas, flood damage assessment, flood hazard zoning and post-flood survey of river configuration and protection works. By integrating satellite data with other updated spatial and non-spatial data, likely flood zones can be predicted beforehand. Some examples of satellite data application to flood dis aster mitigation in Thailand during 2002 using mostly Radarsat-1 data and Landsat-7 data were illustrated and discussed in the paper. The results showed that satellite data can clearly identify and give information on the status, flooding period, boundary and damage of flooding. For comprehensive flood mitigation planning, other geo-informatic data, such as the elevation of topography, hydrological data need to be integrated. Ground truth data of the watershed area, including the water level, velocity, drainage pattern and direction were also useful for flood forecasting in the future.

  • An analysis of potential flooding by storm surge and wave run-up and overtopping can be used to evaluate protection afforded by the existing storm protection system. The analysis procedure can also be used to evaluate various protection alternatives for providing typhoon flood protection. To determine risk, the storm surges for both historical and hypothetical are compiled with tide conditions to represent high, slack and low water for neap, spring and mid range tides to use with the statistical procedure known as the Empirical Simulations Technique (EST). The EST uses the historic and hypothetical events to generate a large population of life-cycle databases that are used to compute mean value maximum storm surge elevation frequency relationships. The frequency-of-occurrence relationship is determined for all relevant locations along the shoreline at appropriate locations to identify the effect using the Empirical Storm Simulation (EST). To assist with understanding the process, an example is presented for a study of storm surge analysis for Freeport, Texas. This location is in the Gulf of Mexico and is subject to hurricanes and other tropical storms that approach from the Atlantic Ocean.

  • The risk assessment model for dam and levee is applied to a river where two adjacent dams are located in the upstream of the watershed. "A" dam is proven to be safe with 200-year precipitation and unsafe with PMP condition, whereas "B" dam to be safe with 200-year precipitation and PMP condition. The computed risk considering the uncertainties of the runoff coefficient. initial water depth and relevant data of the dam and spillway turn out to be equivalent results in Monte-Carlo and AFOSM method. In levee risk model, this study addresses the uncertainty of water surface elevation by Manning's equation. Monte-Carlo simulation with the variations of Manning's roughness coefficient is calculated by assuming that it follows atriangular distribution. The model can be used for preparing flood risk maps, flood warning systems, and establishing nation's flood disaster protection plan.

  • 침수 피해를 방지하고 경감하기 위해서는 침수범위와 침수심을 예측하여 예상침수심에 대응하기 위한 홍수방어대책 수립이 필요하다. 본 연구는 방어침수심보다 아래에 위치한 건축물에 대해서 거실용도로 사용을 제한하는 수방기준을 마련했을 경우에 대하여 비용편익 분석을 통한 경제성 분석을 수행하고자 한다. 한편, 침수지역 및 침수심 산정을 위하여서는 GIS를 이용한 분석이 필요하며, GIS 분석을 통하여 산정된 결과를 바탕으로 건물피해액과 건물내용물에 대한 피해액을 산정할 수 있다. 적용과정에서 현재 서울시에서 구축되어진 데이터 구축 자료의 특성에 맞게 다차원법에서 제시한 일부 방법들을 수정하였다. 본 연구 결과 방어침수심의 설정을 통해 건축물에 대한 홍수피해를 방지하고, 주민의 보호 등을 포함한 침수피해방지대책 계획 수립에 이용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • 도시지역의 침수피해를 방지하기 위해서는 침수범위와 침수심을 예측하여 예상 침수심에 대응하기 위한 방어대책을 수립하여야 한다. 한편 이러한 침수범위와 침수심을 예측하는 방법은 대상지역의 특성 및 지리적 여건 등에 따라 달라지며 가용자료에 따라 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 도시지역의 특성에 따른 침수대책의 기준이 되는 방어침수위 설정방법을 GIS 분석을 통하여 비교분석하였다. 방어침수위 설정방법은 과거 침수실적을 이용하는 방법 인근하천의 계획홍수위를 연장하는 방법, 하천의 임계지속기간과 소유역의 임계지속기간에 대한 강우빈도별 시나리오 분석에 의한 내수침수를 모의하는 방법 등의 네가지 방법을 서울시 중랑천 연변의 장안배수분구에 해하여 적용하였다. 분석결과 인접하천의 계획홍수위를 단순연장하는 방법을 제외하고는 다소의 차이는 있으나 대체로 유사한 결과를 보였다. 침수원인이 내수침수에 의한 지역일 경우에는 방어침수위로 침수실적자료를 이용한 과거 최대침수위를 적용하거나, 인근하천의 계획홍수량을 발생시키는 강우사상에 대한 내수침수 모의결과를 적용하는 것이 합리적일 것으로 판단된다.
