This paper examines the spatial and temporal variability in the water depth caused by artificial structures in Geum Estuary of South Korea. Water depth data set extracted from marine maps of 1979, 1990, 1996 and 2004 were used in a GIS to derive volumetric estimates of gains and losses of sedimentary material. Artificial structures caused above 2m in water depth to be shallow between 1979 and 2002 in the estuary system, particularly through disturbance of a natural transport in suspended sediment concentrations. The mutt significant change in suspended sediment transport were observed in area affected by embankment for fresh water, inducing the water depth shallower than before in almost 80% of the area. This was probably because of an continuous abundant mud supply from coastal river oven after blocking the fresh water. The spatial analysis made it possible to identify area wide patterns of water depth change subject to many different type of artificial structures, which tanner be acquired by traditional field sampling. It is anticipated thai this research could be used as a valuable reference to confirm the outputs from past field researches for sedimental process in more visual and quantitative manner.

The purpose of this study is to test a development of system for flood runoff forecasting using neural network model. As the forecasting models for flood runoff the neural network model was tested with the observed flood data at Gongju and Buyeo stations. The neural network model consists of input layer, hidden layer, and output layer. For the flood events tested rainfall and runoff data were the input to the input layer and the flood runoff data were used in the output layer. To make a choice the forecasting model which would make up of runoff forecasting system properly, real-time runoff of river when flood periods were forecasted by using neural network model and state-space model. A comparison of the results obtained by the two forecasting models indicated the superiority and reliability of the neural network model over the state-space model. The neural network model was modified to work in the Web and developed to be the basic model of the forecasting system for the flood runoff. The neural network model developed to be used in the Web was loaded into the server and was applied to the main stream of Geum river. For the main stage gauging stations mentioned above the applicability of the selected forecasting model, the Neural Network Model, was verified in the Web.

In this paper, we designed a seasonal geothermal storage system and studied the applicability in the alluvial aquifer. We conducted a basic survey to apply this system to greenhouses actually operated in the Geum river basin alluvial aquifer. After choosing a potential area through electrical resistivity survey, the system parameters were set using drilling survey and pumping test result. We installed a system based on the factors, and operated for about 9 months. As a result, high temperature water(injection temperature $30^{\circ}C$) was stored at 22.5 Mcal ($1,609m^3$) for 3 months in cooling operation and 125 Mcal ($16,960m^3$) of low temperature water (injection temperature $7^{\circ}C$) were stored for 6 months in the remaining heating operation.

본 연구는 해양환경을 파악하는 데에 가장 기초적인 자료라고 할 수 있는 수심자료를 GIS 데이터로 구축하여 1979년부터 2004년까지의 금강하구의 수심변화를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 금강하구는 시간이 흐를수록 수심이 깊어지는 지역보다는 얕아지는 지역이 점진적으로 늘어가고 있으며, 금강하구둑의 수문 폐쇄, 남 북측 도류제 및 북방파제 축조, 서측호안 매립공사 등이 완공되거나 진행되어진 1990년대 중반 이후에는 수심이 얕아지는 면적이 증가함과 동시에 얕아지는 정도가 보다 급진적으로 진행되어 2004년에는 하구둑 전면과 대죽사주는 저조시에 해수면 위로 노출되는 해저면의 높이가 4m이상에 이르는 부분이 확산되었다. 금강하구 내 수심변화특성은 지역적으로 다소 차이를 보이므로 5개의 세부지역으로 구분하여 살펴보았다. 하구둑-군산내항, 군산내항-군산외항, 개야수로, 대죽사주 지역은 현시점에 가까워질수록 수심이 얕아지는 경향이, 도류제 지역은 수심이 깊어지는 경향이 뚜렷이 나타났으며, 서측호안 지역은 시기별로 얕아지는 경향과 깊어지는 경향이 교차되며 나타났다. 하구둑-군산내항, 군산내항-군산외항, 개야수로, 대죽사주 지역에서 꾸준한 준설공사가 있었음에도 불구하고 수심이 얕아지고 있다는 것은 퇴적작용이 매우 우세하게 진행되고 있음을 시사한다.

금강홍수통제소는 금강 유역의 홍수피해 경감을 목적으로 1990년 출범하였으며, 개소된 이래로 현재까지 홍수예보 및 수문 관측 업무를 수행하여 왔다. 금강홍수예보시스템의 유출모형은 이미 구축되어 있던 홍수예보 시스템과 마찬가지로 저류함수법과 단위도법에 의한 홍수 유출 모형을 근간으로 구성되어 있다. 최근 증설된 수문관측소를 반영하여 소유역을 재분할하고, 변화된 유역환경을 반영하여 저류함수모형에 대한 상수를 개선하고자 하였다. 소유역 및 하도분할과 티센계수 산정 등을 통해 저류함수법을 이용하기 위한 저류상수를 산정하기 위해 기존의 일반 종이지도로 제작된 지형도(1:50,000), 녹지자연도, 개략토양도 등을 이용하는 대신 수치지도를 이용하여 저류상수를 산정하였다. 새롭게 산정된 유역특성변수를 이용하여 유역의 저류상수를 산정하고 강우에 의한 유출량을 결정하였다. 변화된 유역 조건을 가지고 금강 유역의 전체 유역 및 하도유출계산을 수행한 후, 측정 결과가 있는 지점의 수문곡선과 비교하여 모형상수가 적절히 산정되었는지 검토하고, 개선된 모형상수를 제시하였다.

The stream morphological characteristics of a river basin has a close correlation with the hydrological and hydraulic characteristics of the basin. In this study the correlations of flow duration and Hydraulic geometry with the stream morphological characteristics as well as the correlation between flow duration and hydraulic geometry were analyzed bases on the data for the Geum River basin. The purpose of this study was to provide the necessary informations for water utilization projects at ungauged locations along the river course. First of all, the stream morphological characteristics was analyzed based on the Horton's three laws on the morphology of a stream that is, the law of stream number, the law of average stream length and the law of average stream slope. As is the case for majority of the rivers it was found that the Geum River basin was well developed according to the Horton's laws. High correlations were also found between the basin characteristics and the channel characteristics. The flow duration curves obtained with the daily stream flow data of 10~90% frequency of occurences at the five stage gauging stations in the Geum River could, in general, be expressed as an exponential functional relationship. The concept of proportional stream ordering system was employed to describe continuously the longitudinal variation of the stream morphological characteristics, and the mathematical model was formulated for the discharge-frequency-proportional stream order relationship. With the morphological characteristics as a common parameter the relationships with flow duration, drainage area were established in mathematical expressions, respectively.

Rivers continuously transport terrestrial organic carbon matter to the estuary and the ocean, and they play a critical role in productivity and biodiversity in the marine ecosystem as well as the global carbon cycle. The amount of terrestrial organic carbon transporting from the rivers to ocean is an essential piece of information, not only for the marine ecosystem management but also the carbon budget within catchment. However, this phenomenon is still not well understood. Most large rivers in Korea have a well-established national monitoring system of the river flow and the TOC (Total Organic Carbon) concentration from the mountain to the river mouth, which are fundamental for estimating the amount of the TOC flux. We estimated the flux of the total terrestrial organic carbon of five large rivers which flow out to the Yellow Sea, using the data of the national monitoring system (the monthly mean TOC concentration and the monthly runoff of river flow). We quantified the annual TOC flux of the five rivers, showing their results in the following order: the Han River ($18.0{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>>Geum River ($5.9{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>Yeongsan River ($2.6{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>Sumjin River ($2.0{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>>Tamjin River ($0.2{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$). The amount of the Han River, which is the highest in the Korean rivers, corresponds to be 4% of the annual total TOC flux of in the Yellow River, and moreover, to be 0.6% of Yangtze River.

To prepare for agricultural droughts, the potential discharge to the water supply of irrigation facilities during drought periods is important. Using the MODSIM (Modified SIMYLD) model, water balance networks that consider irrigation facilities were designed for the Geum River Basin, and the potential discharge to the agricultural water supply of irrigation facilities were evaluated by running the model using data for 36 years (1967-2002). It was found that agricultural water deficiencies occurred during the drought years more than in the other years. The agricultural water deficiencies in 1994, 1995, and 2001, the representative drought years, were 745.8 million m$^3$, 661.1 million m$^3$, and 696.8 million m$^3$, respectively. The average potential discharge to the water supply of the sub-basin was 99.1 % in the cases of municipal and industrial water, and 84.4 % in the case of agricultural water. The potential discharge to the water supply in 1994, 1995, and 2001 were 74.8 %, 79.2 %, and 77.9 %, respectively, which are lower than those of the other years' sub-basin average. In the analysis of the contribution of each irrigation facility, the contributions of pumping stations and diversions were calculated as 32.5 %, and of culverts and wells, 4.0 %. During the drought periods, the pumping stations and diversions contributed to a certain level.

GIS (Geographic Information System) is very useful in describing basin wide geographic characteristics and hydrologic analysis. This study estimated long term hydrologic variations in the Geum river basin using the SSARR rainfall runoff simulation model to provide reliable hydrologic information associated with rainfall runoff management module. Calibrated various hydrologic information such as soil moisture index, water use, direct and base flow are generated using GIS tools to display spatial hydrologic information in the unit of subbasin of target watershed. In addition, the graphic user interface toolkit designed for data compilation is expected to support efficient basin wide rainfall runoff analysis.

In this study, we developed the assessment method that evaluate the water demand management and calculate the water saving volume using water use indicator, and developed the system to link the water saving volume that occur through demand management and water supply and demand. The results from this study, local governments with poor water conditions should be followed to improve the water supply. And, future water demand estimates should be even considering it. We calculated the water saving volume of the Geum River basin using K-WEAP (Korea-Water Evaluation And Planning System) and performed the water budget analysis. We found that the change of river flow, ground water level and reservoir water level, and it can be utilized for other demand.
