Soil erosion is a natural process and has been occurring in most areas in the watershed. However, accelerated soil erosion rates have been causing numerous environmental impacts in recent years. To reduce soil erosion and sediment inflow into the water bodies, site-specific soil erosion best management practices (BMPs) need to be established and implemented. The most commonly used soil erosion model is the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), which have been used in many countries over 30 years. The Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) ArcView GIS system has been developed and enhanced to estimate the soil erosion and sediment yield from the watershed using the USLE input data. In the last decade, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model also has been widely used to estimate soil erosion and sediment yield at a watershed scale. The SATEEC system estimates the LS factor using the equation suggested by Moore and Burch, while the SWAT model estimates the LS factor based on the relationship between sub watershed average slope and slope length. Thus the SATEEC and SWAT estimated soil erosion values were compared in this study. The differences in LS factor estimation methods in the SATEEC and SWAT caused significant difference in estimated soil erosion. In this study, the difference was -51.9%(default threshold)$\sim$-54.5%(min. threshold) between SATEEC and non-patched SWAT, and -7.8%(default threshold)$\sim$+3.8%(min. threshold) between SATEEC and patched SWAT estimated soil erosion.

The objective of this study is to analyze uncertainties of ensemble-based streamflow prediction method for model parameters and input data. ESP (Ensemble Streamflow Prediction) and BAYES-ESP (Bayesian-ESP) based on ABCD rainfall-runoff model were selected as streamflow prediction method. GLUE (Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation) was applied for the analysis of parameter uncertainty. The analysis of input uncertainty was performed according to the duration of meteorological scenarios for ESP. The result showed that parameter uncertainty was much more significant than input uncertainty for the ensemble-based streamflow prediction. It also indicated that the duration of observed meteorological data was appropriate to using more than 20 years. And the BAYES-ESP was effective to reduce uncertainty of ESP method. It is concluded that this analysis is meaningful for elaborating characteristics of ESP method and error factors of ensemble-based streamflow prediction method.

The aim of this study is to develop a quantified water loss Index to evaluate and manage leakage scientifically for the reduction of non-revenue water in water distribution systems. For the purpose, unavoidable background leakage suggested from UK water industry and IWA, and allowable water leakage in accord with the concept of allowable water loss are proposed by analyzing the inflow into two study water districts and the short-term water use of each customer in the districts. The study distribution areas are selected among the metered districts with good maintenance of leakage after improvement activities in Nonsan, medium sized city in Korea. Estimation models of allowable leakage are developed by metering and analyzing the minimum night flow at residential and commercial areas in the city. In the results of the investigation, it is estimated that background night flow in residential area was larger than that of commercial area where the types of business shows small water use characteristics. Meanwhile, night flow and background water loss on internal plumbing systems show great differences for each district which is influenced much by the water use characteristics and facilities scale. Based on metering water use data in various districts, leakage management criteria can be established under the consideration of domestic conditions in Korea by analyzing separated real water use and background leakage and it is possible to apply into presentation of optimal leakage level and reasonable time for working activities for leakage reduction.

This study was conducted to utilize as basic information for the construction of conservation and estimation system for Palustrine wetland, which was badly managed and imprudently reclaimed, through the analysis of distribution characteristics and the estimation of conservation value for sample sites (eight wetlands) in rural area. As the result of wetland type classification, these wetlands was classified by 4 types (Permanent freshwater marshes/pools, ponds, Aquaculture ponds, and Seasonally flooded agricultural land) by Ramsar system, 3 types (Emergent Wetland, Aquatic Bed, and Scrub-Shrub Wetland) by NWI (Cowardin) System, 5 types (Farm Pond Depression, Under-flow wetland, Man-made Pond Depression, Abandoned Paddy Fields Wetland, and Reservoir Shore) by National Wetland's Categorical System, and 3 types (Aquatic Bed Wetland, Emergent Wetland, and Forested Wetland) by Lee (2000) System. These results suggest us developing the new type classification system for small Palustrine wetland in Korean rural areas. The score of function assessment (The Modified RAM) for small Palustrine wetlands was high at the wetlands nearby hills and rice paddy fields, and low at those nearby upper fields, which was mainly affected by land-use and vegetation. The functions as 'Flood/Storm Water Storage', 'Runoff Attenuation', 'Water Quality Protection' were resulted by the structural difference of inflow and outlet. Some functions as 'Wetland size', 'Wetland to immediate watershed ratio', 'Presence of boat traffic', 'Maximum water depth', 'Fetch of water's body' of RAM were not appropriate in evaluation of small wetlands in rural area. Which suggest us developing the new function assessment system for small Palustirne wetland in Korean rural areas.

The Purpose of this study are to develop the simulation(Tank model, Rainfall-runoff model) for the estimation of wily river discharge and for evaluation of wily pollutant loads from the watersheds of the objected basin area. As apply this constructed Tank model to Nakdong river region, we evaluated the wily river discharge of Nakdong river from use-land conditions, precipitation and evaporation data of 3 years(from 1998 to 2000) and investigate the seasonal fluctuation of SS, COD, TN, TP inflowing into Nakdong river. The result shows that summer has high pollutant level than winter in seasonal characteristic and the down stream has high pollutant level than the upper stream. The annual average of SS, COD, TN, TP flawing in Nakdong river(Samranjin) was estimated each 691ton-COD/year, 1854.2ton-SS/year, 382.8ton-TN/year and 13.0ton- TP/year.

레이더강우관측의 수문학적 적용성을 검토하고 개념적 유출모형과 분포형 유출모형에서 지점강수 및 레이더강수를 적용하여 매개변수의 민감도 및 수문곡선변화를 관찰하였다. 레이더강수의 계통적오차는 총강수량비를 이용하여 보정하였고, 이결과 레이더강수가 지점강수에 비하여 첨두강수를 더욱 양호하게 표현하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 지점강수와 레이더강수를 이용하여 용담댐 상류유역에 대한 유출해석을 수행하였다. 개념적모형으로는 저류함수모형을, 분포형모형으로는 실시간 홍수 조절을 목적으로 미국 Oklahoma대학에서 개발된 $V\;flo^{TM}$모형을 이용하여 테스트하였다. 결과 개념적 모형과 분포형모형 모두에서 경험식으로부터 구한 매개변수의 초기값을 이용한 수문곡선은 관측수문 곡선과 상당한 차이를 보이고 있었으나 분포형 수문곡선의 경우 천천상류지점의 수문곡선은 매개변수의 추가적 보정이 필요없을 정도로 매개변수의 초기값이 수문곡선을 잘 모의 하고 있었다. 이는 매우 고무적인 결과로서 실시간 홍수모형으로서 요구되는 중요한 특성과 동시에 물리적 기반의 분포모형의 가장 큰 장점일 수 있는 사상독립적 유역매개변수군을 구축하는데 중요한 단서가 될 것으로 보여진다.

최근 극심한 가뭄은 전년도 홍수기 이후 강수량이 예년 평균 강수량대비 약 60%정도이고 댐유입량은 예년 평균 유입량대비 약 30%로써 매우 극심한 가뭄을 겪고 있다. 따라서 강원도 태백지역을 비롯하여 전라 및 경상남도지역에 제한급수 등이 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 또한 기상청 전망에서도 금년 홍수기전까지 가뭄이 지속될 것이라는 보도가 나오고 있어 향후에도 매우 어려운 상황이 지속될 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 이러한 악조건하에서 우리가 대체할 수 있는 방법중의 하나로서는 가용한 수자원량과 향후 예상되는 유입량에 대한 정량적 판단을 통해 수자원의 효율적인 관리일 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이수기 저수지의 효율적 운영을 위해서 기존에 이용되고 있는 저수지에서의 빈도유입량 산정방법을 개선하여 보다 적정한 운영이 이루어질 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 현재 수자원공사에서는 이수기 유입량 빈도분석을 위해 연속된 수문량이 가지고 있는 주기특성을 반영한 수문량 누가방식(누가차분법)을 채택하여 실무에서 이용하고 있다. 그러나 해당방법은 누가기간에서 산정된 빈도값의 차분량 계산시 부분적으로 음(-)의 값이 산출되고 갈수빈도가 증가함에도 수문량이 증가하는 이상 현상이 발생할 뿐만아니라 빈도분석 초기에는 극한 가뭄이 오고 분석기 말에는 평년수준의 유입량이 유입되는 것으로 분석되어 효율적인 저수지 운영이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 상기 문제들을 해결할 수 있는 새로운 갈수빈도유입량의 분해방법을 제시하고 이에 대한 검증을 위해 금번 가뭄 패턴과 비교 분석하고자 한다.

Due to the temporal variation of inflow/outflow, the water tank is needed. For the calculation of water tank capacity, the absolute difference between cumulative amounts of supply(e.g., rainfall) and demand(e.g.,watering) is used. No matter the (-) and (+) the absolute maximum capacity of the subtraction is calculated as the capacity. In this paper, using rainfall and watering of greenhouse facilities, it is proved that the non-linear supply or demand can be applied, and it is proved also that the greater non-linear variation case. And as the time interval for monitoring is decreased, the basin or tank volume are increased, with approximately 10 days as the critical monitoring interval for the annual natural rainfall event.

Recently, various engineering approaches have been widely used in the accident investigation field to identify the cause of the accident and to predict damage by accident. Computational analysis is the most commonly used method of accident investigation technique. This technique is mainly used to identify the mechanism of the accident generation and to determine the cause when it is difficult to reproduce the situation at the time of the accident or when it is impossible to perform a reproduction experiment. In this study, The computational fluid dynamics analysis for nitrogen asphyxiation accident generated by defect of building structural between diffusion outlet and cooling tower was performed to determine the inflow path of the suffocation gas, death possibility by concentration of suffocation gas and predicted the time of death due to the accident using 3D modeling and FLACS program. We can quantify diffusion concentration of asphyxiation gas and predict mechanism of death occurrence by accident and evaluate the consequence Analysis through this study. In the future, This method can be widely used in the field of gas safety by improving the reliability and validity of the analysis.
