In recent, the series of extreme storm events were occurred by those continuous typhoons and the severe flood damages due to the loss of life and the destruction of property were involved. In this study, we call Mega flood for the Extreme flood occurred by these successive storm events and so we can have a hypothetical Mega flood by assuming that a extreme event can be successively occurred with a certain time interval. Inter Event Time Definition (IETD) method was used to determine the time interval between continuous events in order to simulate Mega flood. Therefore, the continuous extreme rainfall events are determined with IETD then Mega flood is simulated by the consecutive events : (1) consecutive occurrence of two historical extreme events, (2) consecutive occurrence of two design events obtained by the frequency analysis based on the historical data. We have shown that Mega floods by continuous extreme rainfall events were increased by 6-17% when we compared to typical flood by a single event. We can expect that flood damage caused by Mega flood leads to much greater than damage driven by a single rainfall event. The second increase in the flood caused by heavy rain is not much compared to the first flood caused by heavy rain. But Continuous heavy rain brings the two times of flood damage. Therefore, flood damage caused by the virtual Mega flood of is judged to be very large. Here we used the hypothetical rainfall events which can occur Mega floods and this could be used for preparing for unexpected flood disaster by simulating Mega floods defined in this study.

In recent years, flood due to the consecutive storm events have been occurred and property damage and casualties are in increasing trend. This study calls the consecutively occurred storm events as a mega rainfall scenario and the discharge by the scenario is defined as a mega flood discharge. A mega rainfall scenario was created on the assumption that 100-year frequency rainfall events were consecutively occurred in the Gyeongancheon stream basin. The SSARR (Streamflow Synthesis and Reservoir Regulation) model was used to estimate the mega flood discharge using the scenario in the basin. In addition, in order to perform more reasonable runoff analysis, the parameters were estimated using the SCE_UA algorithm. Also, the calibration and verification were performed using the objective functions of the weighted sum of squared of residual(WSSR), which is advantageous for the peak discharge simulation and sum of squared of residual(SSR). As a result, the mega flood discharge due to the continuous occurrence of 100-year frequency rainfall events in the Gyeongan Stream Basin was estimated to be 4,802㎥/s, and the flood discharge due to the 100-year frequency single rainfall event estimated by "the Master Plan for the Gyeongancheon Stream Improvement" (2011) was 3,810㎥/s. Therefore, the mega flood discharge was found to increase about 992㎥/s more than the single flood event. The results of this study can be used as a basic data for Comprehensive Flood Control Plan of the Gyeongan Stream basin.

In the circumstances being continuous the unusual weather in the world, the city of Seoul has been devastating flood damage in July 2011, because of the heavy rainfalls. Along with expensive repairs to property, thousands of flood victims occurred; it is difficult to estimate the direct and indirect economic damages in city. Recently, as a part of the flood protecting measures, there are being discussed about the deep underground flood drainage tunnel, underground regulating reservoirs, permeable pavement, infiltration facility, river improvements, diversion channel, sewer pipe and ditch improvement and so on. Therefore, it is useful to make the plan of flood protecting measures more and more cost-effective and rational methods by considering the similar flood measures and constructions in the mega cities like Seoul.

Flood is one of the major natural disasters affecting millions of people. Thailand also, frequently faces with this type of disaster. Especially, 2011 mega flood in Central Thailand, inundated highway severely attributed to the failure of national economic and risk to life. Lesson learned from such an extreme event caused flood monitoring and warning becomes one of the sound mitigations. The highway flood hazard mapping accomplished in this research is one of the strategies. This is due to highway flood is the potential risk to life and limb, and potential damage to property. Monitoring and warning therefore help reducing live and property losses. In this study, degree of highway flood hazard was assessed by weighting factors for each cause of the highway flood using Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). These weighting factors are the essential information to classify the degree of highway flood hazard to enable pinpoint on flood monitoring and flood warning in hazard areas. The highway flood causes were then investigated. It was found that three major factors influence to the highway flood are namely the highway characteristics, the hydrological characteristics and the land topography characteristics. The weight of importance for each cause of the highway flood in the whole country was assessed by weighting 3 major factors influence to the highway flood. According to the result of MCA analysis, the highway, the hydrological and the land topography characteristics were respectively weighted as 35, 35 and 30 percent influence to the cause of highway flood. These weighting factors were further utilized to classify the degree of highway flood hazard. The Weight Linear Combination (WLC) method was used to compute the total score of all highways according to each factor. This score was later used to categorize highway flood as high, moderate and low degree of hazard levels. Highway flood hazard map accomplished in this research study is applicable to serve as the handy tool for highway flood warning. However, to complete the whole warning process, flood water level monitoring system for example the camera gauge should be installed in the hazard highway. This is expected to serve as a simple flood monitor as part of the warning system during such extreme or critical event.

There is a growing demand for the stability of existing dams due to abnormal climate and the aging of dams. Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) for reservoir or dam failure only consider a single rainfall event. Therefore, this study simulates dam failure caused by continuous rainfall events, and proposes the establishment of EAP by selecting the optimal shelters. We define a mega rainfall event scenario caused by continuous rainfall events with 500-year frequency in the Chungju Dam watershed and estimate the mega flood. The mega flood event scenario is divided into two cases: scenario A represents the flooding case caused by discharge release from a dam, while scenario B is the case of a dam break. As a result of flood inundation analysis, the flooded damage area by the scenario A is 50.06 km² and the area by the scenario B is 6.1 times of scenario A (307.45 km²). We select optimal shelters for each administrative region in the city of Chungju, which has the highest inundation rate in the urban area. Seven shelter evaluation indicators from domestic and foreign shelter selection criteria are chosen, and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used to evaluate the alternatives. As a result of the optimal shelter selection, the six shelters are selected and five are schools. This study considers continuous rainfall events for inundation analysis and selection of optimal shelters. Also, the results of this study could be used as a reference for establishment of the EAP.

본 연구에서는 연속적인 호우 사상으로 인한 심각한 홍수를 거대홍수라고 정의하고, 일정 시간 간격으로 극한 호우 사상이 연속적으로 발생 될 수 있음을 가정하여 가상의 거대홍수 시나리오를 구성하였다. 최소 무강우 시간 결정(Inter Event Time Definition, IETD)방법을 사용하여 연속적인 강우의 시간 간격을 결정하였으며, IETD에 의해 산정된 시간 간격 안에서 호우 사상을 연속적으로 발생시켜 평창강 유역을 대상으로 거대홍수를 모의하였다. 즉, (1) 기록된 극한 호우 사상의 연속적인 발생 (2) 기왕 자료를 기반으로 빈도해석에 의해 산정된 설계 호우 사상의 연속적인 발생을 가정하여 거대홍수를 모의하였다. 연속 호우 사상으로 인한 거대홍수는 단일 호우 사상으로 인한 일반 홍수에 비해 6~17%의 홍수량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 앞의 호우 사상으로 인한 홍수량에 비해 뒤에 오는 호우로 인한 홍수량의 증가는 많지 않지만, 연속적인 호우는 두 번의 홍수피해를 가져오므로 가상의 거대홍수로 인한 홍수 피해는 매우 클 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구와 같이 가상의 강우 시나리오를 통해 예상하지 못한 연속적인 홍수 재해와 같은 비상 상황에 대비할 수 있는 방안을 마련할 필요가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

전 세계적으로 기후변화로 인한 자연재난은 피해의 규모에 따라 대형화 다양화 집중화 현상이 일어나고 있으며, 이로 인한 사회 경제적 피해가 과거에 비해 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 한국에서는 이러한 자연재난 중 피해의 90%이상이 수해 풍해 설해 등으로 조사되었으며, 특히, 수해에 의한 피해가 자연재난으로 발생하는 피해 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 최근에는 2014년 일본의 태풍 '판폰'과 '봉퐁', 2013년 중국의 태풍 '피토'와 '다나스', 2012년 한국의 태풍 '볼라벤', '덴빈', '산바' 등 연속적인 호우사상의 내습으로 인한 피해가 발생함에 따라 동시 다발적인 거대 호우사상의 발생에 대한 대비책이 시급한 실정이다. 국내 외적으로 단일 호우사상으로 인한 홍수 피해 대책에 관한 연구는 활발하게 이루어지고 있지만, 동시다발적 연속적인 호우사상으로 인한 홍수 피해 대책 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 단기간에 거대 호우사상이 동시 다발적 연속적으로 나타나는 현상을 거대홍수라고 정의하고, 거대홍수에 대응하기 위해서 거대홍수 발생에 따른 홍수범람 및 홍수피해액을 산정하였다. 홍수범람모의를 통해 거대홍수가 유역전체에 미치는 영향을 파악하고, 다차원홍수피해산정법(MD-FDA)을 통해 홍수 피해액을 산정하여 거대홍수방어 대책 수립의 참고 자료로써 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

최근 지구온난화 및 기후변화의 영향으로 수재해가 증가하고 있으며, 강우의 경향성이 변화하고 있다. 태풍 및 집중호우로 인한 피해보다 장기간의 연속적인 강우의 발생으로 인한 피해가 더욱 크며, 기존 수공구조물의 설계기준은 연속적인 호우로 인한 피해를 고려하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 거대홍수란 집중호우, 태풍, 이상홍수 및 돌발홍수로 인한 홍수피해의 여파가 끝나기도 전에 또 다른 강우사상으로 인하여 거대한 홍수가 발생하는 시나리오적 상황을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 기상청에서 제공하는 한강권역 30년 동안의 (1986 ${\infty}$ 2015년) 강우자료를 이용하여 거대홍수 발생횟수, 경향성, 설계기준을 초과하여 발생하는 거대홍수 초과빈도를 분석하였다. 최소 무강우 시간 정의(Inter Event Time Definition, IETD)를 이용하여 거대홍수를 산정하고, Mann-Kendall test 및 이중누가우량분석(double mass analysis)을 통하여 거대홍수의 경향성 분석을 실시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 기존 수공구조물의 설계기준의 취약점을 보완할 수 있을 것이라 판단되며, 태풍, 집중호우, 거대홍수 등으로 발생하는 홍수피해를 줄이기 위한 방재 사업의 우선순위 결정에 대한 근거 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

Global climate change and urbanization have various demerits, such as water pollution, flood damage, and deterioration of water circulation. Thus, attention is drawn to Nature-based Solution (NbS) that solve environmental problems in ways that imitate nature. Among the NbS, urban wetlands are facilities that perform functions, such as removing pollutants from a city, improving water circulation, and providing ecological habitats, by strengthening original natural wetland pillars. Frequent monitoring and maintenance are essential for urban wetlands to maintain their performance; therefore, there is a need to apply the Internet of Things (IoT) technology to wetland monitoring. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to develop a real-time wetland monitoring device and interface. Temperature, water temperature, humidity, soil humidity, PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 were measured, and the measurements were taken at 10-minute intervals for three days in both indoor and wetland. Sensors suitable for conditions that needed to be measured and an Arduino MEGA 2560 were connected to enable sensing, and communication modules were connected to transmit data to real-time databases. The transmitted data were displayed on a developed web page. The data measured to verify the monitoring device were compared with data from the Korea meteorological administration and the Korea environment corporation, and the output and upward or downward trend were similar. Moreover, findings from a related patent search indicated that there are a minimal number of instances where information and communication technology (ICT) has been applied in wetland contexts. Hence, it is essential to consider further research, development, and implementation of ICT to address this gap. The results of this study could be the basis for time-series data analysis research using automation, machine learning, or deep learning in urban wetland maintenance.

As the infrastructures and populations are the condensed in the mega city, urban flood management becomes very important due to the severe loss of lives and properties. For the more accurate calculation of runoff from the urban catchment, hourly or even minute rainfall data have been utilized. However, the time steps of the measured or forecasted data under climate change scenarios are longer than hourly, which causes the difficulty on the application. In this study, daily rainfall data was disaggregated into hourly using the stochastic method. Based on the historical hourly precipitation data, Gram Schmidt orthonormalization process and K-Nearest Neighbor Resampling (KNNR) method were applied to disaggregate daily precipitation into hourly. This method was originally developed to disaggregate yearly runoff data into monthly. Precipitation data has smaller probability density than runoff data, therefore, rainfall patterns considering the previous and next days were proposed as 7 different types. Disaggregated rainfall was resampled from the only same rainfall patterns to improve applicability. The proposed method was applied rainfall data observed at Seoul weather station where has 52 years hourly rainfall data and the disaggregated hourly data were compared to the measured data. The proposed method might be applied to disaggregate the climate change scenarios.
