  • With increasing recognition on conservation of endangered species in Taiwan, one of the major conservation projects is the habitat restoration of Formosan Landlocked Salmon which is major threatened by check dams in the channel for their blockading pathway to upstream and causing the problems of population isolation and close-blood mating. By creating an opening in the central dam body appropriately, partial removal dams can provide pathway for the fish for the better upstream channel habitat. Four check dams at Gau-Shan Creek were remodeled between April of 1999 and September of 2002 with information supported from model experiments under certain hydraulic condition of field environment. Based on the follow-up investigation, the channel morphology of observation sections is in stable condition and the total number of Formosan Landlocked Salmon in this creek increased promptly at the reach containing partial-removed dams.

  • 하천 개발 사업, 하천 취수량의 증가, 각종 오염원의 유입으로 하천수질 악화, 그리고 하천 구조 개선 등에 따른 수량과 수질, 서식 구조 측면에서 하천 생태계의 위협과 파괴가 이루어지고 있다. 최근에 보다 쾌적하고 자연에 가까운 하천 생태계의 서식 공간을 보전하고자 하는 노력이 증대하고 있다. 이 경우, 하천생태계 보전을 위해 무엇보다 중요한 것은 적정한 흐름 영역을 확보하여 생명이 살아 숨쉬는 하천상을 유지할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 물 이용측면과 하천 수생 서식처 유지측면의 갈등을 해결할 수 있는 최적화된 유량설정 기법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 어류 서식환경을 평가하기 위해 가장 광범위하게 이용되고 있고 생태적 특성을 반영할 수 있는 점증 유량 방법론(IFIM: Instream Flow Incremental Methodology)의 물리적 서식처 모의 시스템(PHABSIM: Physical Habitat Simulation System)을 적용한다. 미시 서식 조건은 실측한 물리 자료를 이용하여 1차원 수리해석 프로그램을 적용하도록 한다. 대상 구간에 적합한 목표종을 설정하여 목표종에 적합한 서식처 적합도 지수를 산정한 후 물리 서식처 모의 시스템((PHABSIM: Physical HABitat SIMulation system)을 곡릉천 보(洑)구간에 적용하였다. 보로 인하여 주변의 물리서식처가 악화되어 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구결과는 보에 의한 물리서식처의 영향을 분석함으로써, 보 철거 사업과 같은 하천환경 개선사업의 필요성을 제시하는 기본 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • The investigation and evaluation of river naturalness was conducted for sample rivers-Hongchungang, Mihochun, Naesungchun - using the method from previous paper 'The Evaluation of River Naturalness for Habitat Restoration : I. Proposal of Evaluation Method'. As a result, Hongchungang and Naesungchun, Mihochun showed 2$^{nd}$ Grades with averaged point 1.92, 1.43, and 2.31. Also comparison and examination of the relationship between water quality and river naturalness shows a little relation with coefficient of correlation 0.575. This result means that the evaluation of river naturalness can be possibly used as index to evaluate river ecology, from a different standpoint with water quality.oint with water quality.

  • In this study, the ecological flow rate of the Zacco playtypus habitat was simulated based on the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) in reachs of urban and natural stream using the habitat suitability index (HSI) of the probability density function (PDF). To apply this method, PHABSIM model was used in this study. However, in this study, the HSI of the probability density function was developed by adjusting the parameters of the PDF based on Kang (2010) HSI. As a result, the normal distribution is closest to the ecological flow rate of the Kang (2010) in the urban stream. However, the two-parameter log-pearson distribution tended to be the closest in the natural stream. The ecological flow rate was simulated by the HSI and the reach of stream with the PDF. Based on the comparison of simulation results, we propose an ecological flow rate estimation method using probabilistic method.
