The naturally opened Han river estuary is a place where the flows of the Han river, Imjin river, Yaesung river meet with West Sea of Korea, so the hydrodynamic mechanism(Impact-Response) structure of Han river estuary is complex. Continuous observation and measurement due to the morphological characteristics at the estuary are required to maintain the estuary environment and river management facilities. However, the Sannam wetland(the study area) is in the military operation area. Therefore, Sannam wetland has the limited access under the control from military office. In 2020, there had a natural disaster due to flooding in August and COVID-19, and it made a survey hard. The noncontact survey technique, the analysis of LANDSAT images at Sannam wetland, was applied to analyze riverbed fluctuation and morphological transformation around Sannam wetland. LANDSAT images obtained from EarthExplorer, USGS and analyzed by QGIS. The analysis was performed based on the area and the distance near Sannam wetland. As a result, an erosion was happened on the downstream of the study area, and the upstream of the study area did not have any serious sediment transport. Considering the resolution of LANDSAT images, this noncontect survey technique is applicable to manage the study area. From the analysis of LANDSAT images, it is assumed that the tidal effect is greater than the inflow from the upstream. The pattern change of tidal response causes the damage of the river facilities near the Hangang river estuary.

Estuarine wetlands for 33 watersheds in the Han River estuary were delineated on topographic maps from the 1910s, 1970s, and 2000s. Then, these data were used to address the issue of spatial distribution and temporal variation. Watershed characteristics such as drainage density, location, watershed size, slope, and elevation were identified for each watershed to determine the relationship between watershed characteristics and spatial distribution of estuarine wetlands. The analysis of estuarine wetlands indicated that wetlands in the estuary had declined gradually between the 1910s and the 1970s, although most wetlands were lost since the 1970s mainly caused by the large development projects related to urban expansion in metropolitan Seoul. The sediment composition and formation processes of the wetlands differed with watershed location; mud flats dominate in the lower part of the estuary, and relatively more sandy and emergent-plant wetlands occur near the main channel and tributaries of the Han River. Relatively more estuary wetlands occur in large watersheds, which have high slopes and low elevations. Estuarine wetlands have been lost dramatically in the densely populated watershed regions (i.e., Han River Seoul, Han River Goyang, West Han River), while relatively more wetlands have remained in undeveloped regions, including the Lower Imjin River and Lower Han River. In particular, anthropogenic disturbance has played an important role in the loss of wetland through the conversion of wetland into agricultural and developed land.

Although problems such as river management and flood control have occurred continuously in the Imjin and Bukhan river basin, which are shared by South and North Korea, efforts to manage the basin have not been carried out consistently due to limited cooperation. As the magnitude and frequency of hydrologic phenomena are changing due to global climate change, it is necessary to prepare countermeasures for the rainfall variation in the shared river basin area. Therefore, this study was aimed to project future changes in extreme precipitation in South-North Korea shared river basin by applying 13 Global Climate Models (GCM). Results showed that the probability rainfall compared to the reference period (1981-2005) of the shared river basin increased in the future periods of 2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100 under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP)4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. In addition, the rainfall frequency over the 20-year return period was increased in all periods except for the future periods of 2041-2070 and 2071-2100 under the RCP4.5 scenario. The extreme precipitation in the shared river basin has increased both in magnitude and frequency, and it is expected that the region will have a significant impact from climate change.

This study investigated the characteristics of fish communities and river health in the Sincheon stream of Imgin River between April and October 2019. The survey collected 3,677 objects in 30 species belonging to 12 families from 23 survey stations. The dominant and subdominant species were Zacco platypus (28.4%) and Oryzias sinensis (13.6%), respectively, followed by Z. koreanus (11.8%), Rhynchocypris oxycephalus (11.7%), Carassius auratus (9.6%), and Pseudorasbora parva (7.9%) in that order. Among the fish species collected, 10 (33.3%) were endemic species in Korea. The exotic species were 5 (16.7%), including Micropterus salmoides, Lepomis macrochirus, Cyprinus carpio (Israeli type), Poecilia reticulata, and Xiphophorus maculatus. The land-locked species included Cottus koreanus and Rhinogobius brunneus, while C. koreanus was a climate change-sensitive species. The dominance of the fish community was low, and the diversity was high in the Sincheon mainstream, Sudongcheon and Cheongdamcheon, whereas Dongducheon and Sangpaecheon showed higher dominance and low diversity. The river health was very good and good in the uppermost and Sudongcheon areas, whereas the upper stream was normal, and the middle and lower streams were poor and very poor, respectively. The water quality was also mostly poor or very poor from the midstream to the downstream, and only Sudongcheon was very good. Therefore, the water quality had a great impact on fish habitat and eventually affected river health significantly. Although the water quality of Shincheon has improved each year, the introduction of several foreign species had a very negative effect. Improvement of river health in Shincheon requires water quality improvement and management of exotic fish species.

북한 지역에서 시작되어 한반도의 금문댐까지 연결되는 임진강은 북한지역의 유출량 미계측으로 인해 유출량 산출에 많은 어려움이 있어왔다. 본 연구에서는 위성 데이터를 활용하여 미계측 유역의 유출량을 추정 할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였다. Satellite-derived Flow Signal (SDF)는 위성 기반 특정 지역의 유출 정보를 제공하며, JAXA의 GCOM-W1 위성에 탑재된 Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2(AMSR2) 센서에서 산출된다. 본 연구에서는 SDS 뿐 아니라 유출에 크게 관련이 있는 지표 토양수분 데이터와 식생인자를 임진강 유출 값을 예측하기 위한 입력 값으로 활용하였다. 토양수분 데이터는 Metop-A 위성에 탑재된 Advanced Scatterometer(ASCAT) 센서에서 산출되는 데이터를 활용하였으며, 식생데이터는 Aqua 위성에 탑재된 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) 센서에서 측정되는 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) 데이터를 활용하였다. 추가적으로 SDS, 토양수분, NDVI 데이터는 다양한 lag time으로 약 150여개의 입력데이터로 세분화되었다. 150개의 방대한 입력인자는 Partial Mutual Information(PMI) 방법을 통해 소수 중요 인자들로 간추려져 기계 학습 입력인자로 활용되었다. 기계학습에 있어서는 Support Vector Machine(SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN) 기법을 활용하였다. SVM, ANN을 통해 모델화된 유출데이터는 금문댐 유출데이터와 비교/분석되었다. SVM 기법 기반의 유출량은 실제 유출량과 0.73의 상관계수를 보여주었고, ANN 기법 기반의 유출량은 0.66의 상관계수를 결과를 나타내었다. 하지만 SVM 기반 유출데이터는 과소 산정 되는 경향을 보였으며, ANN 기법 기반의 유출량은 과대산정되는 결과가 산출되는 한계점이 있음을 파악할 수 있었다.

This study analyzed the water shortage hotspot areas in South Korea using spatial clustering analysis for water shortage estimates in 2030 of the Master Plans for National Water Management. To identify the water shortage cluster areas, we used water shortage data from the past maximum drought (about 50-year return period) and performed spatial clustering analysis using Local Moran's I and Getis-Ord Gi*. The areas subject to spatial clusters of water shortage were selected using the cluster map, and the spatial characteristics of water shortage areas were verified based on the p-value and the Moran scatter plot. The results indicated that one cluster (lower Imjin River (#1023) and neighbor) in the Han River basin and two clusters (Daejeongcheon (#2403) and neighbor, Gahwacheon (#2501) and neighbor) in the Nakdong River basin were found to be the hotspot for water shortage, whereas one cluster (lower Namhan River (#1007) and neighbor) in the Han River Basin and one cluster (Byeongseongcheon (#2006) and neighbor) in the Nakdong River basin were found to be the HL area, which means the specific area have high water shortage and neighbor have low water shortage. When analyzing spatial clustering by standard watershed unit, the entire spatial clustering area satisfied 100% of the statistical criteria leading to statistically significant results. The overall results indicated that spatial clustering analysis performed using standard watersheds can resolve the variable spatial unit problem to some extent, which results in the relatively increased accuracy of spatial analysis.

이 연구는 하상변동 수치모형을 적용하여 임진강의 장기간 하상변동과 그에 따른 하천 수위 변화의 예측, 안정하상 검토, 하상변동이 계획홍수위에 미치는 영향, 그리고 하상준설이 수위 및 하상변동에 미치는 영향의 검토를 통해 해당 하천에서 하상변동 특성의 파악에 필요한 자료 및 중.장기 수방대책 수립을 위한 기본 자료를 제공할 목적으로 수행하였다. 임진강 하상변동의 예측에 적절한 일차원 정상 하상변동모형으로 HEC-6 모형을 선정하였다. 모형적용을 위한 현황분석으로 하상토 특성 자료를 수집.분석하였으며, 지형자료에 대한 분석도 수행하였다. 그리고 모형의 적용영역 내에 위치한 각 수위표 지점의 수리.수문자료를 수집하여 분석하였다. HEC-6 모형의 보정을 고정상 보정과 이동상 보정으로 구분하여 수행하였다. 고정상 보정에서는 설정한 조건에 적합한 Manning계수의 결정이 곤란하여 하천의 지형자료와 하상토 자료 등을 고려하여 구간별로 적정한 Manning 계수 값을 선정하였다. 이동상 보정을 통해 HEC-6 모형에서 사용하는 유사량 산정공식 중 하류경계에서 상류로 약 8 km 구간에 대한 하상상승 현상을 가장 잘 보여주는 유사량 공식인 Madden(1963)이 수정한 Laursen(1958) 공식을 선택하였다. 하천망 유사이동 수치모형인 HEC-6 모형을 사용하여 20년간의 장기하상변동을 수치모의하였다. 임진강의 최심하상고 변동량 예측결과 상류경계로부터 약 52 km까지는 하상저하가 지배적이며, 중 하류는 하상상승이 지배적인 것으로 나타났다. 연구 대상구간에서 대체로 퇴적에 의한 하상상승이 예상되었다.

The pufferfish Takifugu obscurus (hwang-bok) was examined for toxicity. Forty-six specimens, which had Gaught at the Imjin River in 1992 and 1993, Korea, were collected and assayed for anatomical distribution of toxicity by the mouse assay method. Ovary and liver showed very strong toxicity, testis, intestine, gall bladder and spleen did moderate toxicity, muscles and skin did weak toxicity, and blood was non-toxic. The results of this study were different from those of Tani, who had examined the toxicity in 19 species of pufferfish, in terms of toxicity in testis, muscle, and skin. The toxicity of testis and muscle had been known to be non-toxic or weakly toxic previously, however, they were known to have weak or moderate toxicity. Therefore, careful attention should be taken to prevent food poisoning by pufferfish ingestion.
