Multifunctional weirs constructed through the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project are operated as management water levels. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of water level in the main stem on the tributary water level according to multifunctional weir operation, because the operation of multifunctional weirs for water level management influences the drainage of tributaries. In this study, water level pressure gauges were installed and spatial and temporal water quality was observed. The LOcally Weighted Scatterplot Smoothing (LOWESS) technique was applied to the Nakdong River and the Baekcheon Junction, both upstream of the Gangjeong-Goryeong weir, in order to analyze water quality trends. When considering the overall analysis and observations, it was found that the water quality forecasting point located at the Baekcheon estuary point should be transferred to the Dosung Bridge, which is located upstream of the Sunwon Bridge.

In this study, the field applicability of the recently constructed multifunctional fishway in Seomunbo, Yeongcheon-si, and Gyeongsangbuk-do were examined. The analysis variables were R/C slab (S1) and R/C+S/C slab (S2), the underground passage standard areas (width × length) were 1.4 m × 0.2 m, 1.4 m × 0.3 m, and 1.4 m × 0.6 m, and the flow velocities were 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 m/s. As a result of the analysis, the safety of the design of Seomunbo was evaluated. The analysis showed compared to the Seomoon Weir fishway, the maximum stress of S2 decreased by 24 - 32%, the bending moment of the underground passage decreased by 16 - 33%, the maximum stress of the sidewall decreased by 20 - 36%. In addition, the bending moment of the upper slab decreased by 17 - 33%, the maximum stress of the upper slab decreased by 9 - 28%, and the bending moment decreased by 19 - 33%. Complementation was required in the following percentages: 18% and 14% for the maximum stress and bending moment of the underground passage, respectively, 15% and 17% for the maximum sidewall stress and bending moment, respectively, and 11% and 16% for the upper slab maximum stress and bending moment, respectively. The results showed that S2 was superior to that of the Seomoon Weir fishway, and the underground passage size of 1.4 m × 0.3 m was superior to those of 1.4 m × 0.2 m and 1.4 m × 0.6 m, and R/C+S/C slab was superior to that of R/C slab. The findings are expected to be useful for constructing and designing the multifunctional fishway.

As part of the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project, multifunctional weirs have been constructed in the rivers and operated for river-level management. As the weirs play a role in draining water from tributaries, the aim of this study was to determine the influence of the weirs on the water level of the Nam River, which is one of the Nakdong River's tributaries. Self-organizing maps (SOMs) and a locally weighted scatterplot smoothing (LOWESS) technique were applied to analyze the patterns and trends of water level and quality of the Nakdong River, considering the operation of the Changnyeong-Haman weir, which is located where the Nam River flows into the Nakdong River. The software program HEC-RAS was used to find the boundary points where the water is well drained. Per the study results at the monitoring points ranging between the junction of the two rivers and 17.5 km upstream toward the Nam River, the multifunctional weir influenced the water level at the Geoyrong and Daesan observation stations on the Nam River and the water quality based on automatic monitoring at the Chilseo station on the Nakdong River was affected strongly by the Nakdong River and partly by the Nam River.

In this study, the main influencing factors of the occurrence of cyanobacteria at each of the eight Multifunctional weirs were derived using a random forest, and a categorical prediction model based on a Algal bloom warning system was developed. As a result of examining the importance of variables in the random forest, it was found that the upstream points were directly affected by weir operation during the occurrence of cyanobacteria. This means that cyanobacteria can be managed through efficient security management. DO and E.C were indicated as major influencers in midstream. The midstream section is a section where large-scale industrial complexes such as Gumi and Gimcheon are concentrated as well as the emissions of basic environmental facilities have a great influence. During the period of heatwave and drought, E.C increases along with the discharge of environmental facilities discharged from the basin, which promotes the outbreak of cyanobacteria. Those monitoring sites located in the middle and lower streams are areas that are most affected by heat waves and droughts, and therefore require preemptive management in preparation for the outbreak of cyanobacteria caused by drought in summer. Through this study, the characteristics of cyanobacteria at each point were analyzed. It can provide basic data for policy decision-making for customized cyanobacteria management.

낙동강은 4대강 사업을 통한 다기능 보 건설로 하천 환경에 변화가 일어났다. 하천 수심이 증가하고 유속이 느려지는 정체성 수역 특성을 나타내고 있다. 이는 남조류 발생에 영향을 주며 남조류가 분비하는 독성물질 또한 수생태계와 인체에 유해하며 남조류 발생에 따른 다양한 원인인자들이 있다. 이러한 남조류 발생 특성을 정량적으로 규명하기 위하여 최근 조류 관리에 있어 데이터 마이닝 및 머신러닝 기법을 적용한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 머신러닝에서는 학습자료 선정에 따라 예측 결과가 다르게 나타나며 이는 발생원인이 복잡한 남조류에 있어 중요한 부분이라 볼 수 있다. 낙동강의 다기능보는 하나의 유체에 직렬형으로 8개의 다기능보가 위치하고 있다. 8개의 보로 나누어져있는 하천은 각 구간별로 보의 수리학적 특성, 유역 특성이 다르다. 따라서 구간별 조류 발생 특성이 다르게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 구간별 특성을 분류하고 조류 발생에 영향을 미치는 주요 인자들을 분석하고자 한다. 조류 발생에 있어 낙동강 8개 보 지점에 대하여 복잡한 남조류 발생 주요 영향인자 분석과 더불어 머신러닝 기법을 이용하여 영향인자에 따른 남조류 발생조건을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 수질 인자뿐만이 아닌 수리학적 인자를 고려하여 수리학적 체적시간이 다른 각 보에서의 조류발생 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 또한 학습인자에 따라 남조류 예측에 대한 정확도 향상이 가능한지를 확인하고 이를 통해 정체성 하천에서의 남조류 발생 특성에 대해 연구하고자 하였으며 이를 통해 낙동강 남조류 발생 및 관리에 있어 선제적 관리에 활용하고자 한다.
