Sewers are important national infrastructure and play an essential part by handling both wastewater and stormwater to minimise problems caused to human life and the environment. However, they can cause urban flooding when rainfall exceeds the system capacity. Sewer flooding is an unwelcome and increasingly frequent problem in many urban areas, and its frequency will increase over time with urbanisation and climate change. Under current standards, sewers are designed to drain stormwater generated by up to 10 year return period storms, but data suggests that many in practice have been experienced flooding with exceeding system capacity under increased storm events. A large number of studies has considered upgrading or increasing the design standard but there are still lack of information to propose a suitable return period with the corresponding system quantity to achieve. A methodology is required to suggest a proper level of standard within a suitable sewerage rehabilitation planning that can avoid the exceedance problem. This study aimed to develop a methodology to support effective sewer rehabilitation that could prevent urban flooding mainly resulted from the exceedance of existing storm sewer system capacity. Selected sewerage rehabilitation methods were examined under different storm return periods and compared to achieve the best value for money.

2007년 세계경제포럼(WEF)은 우리가 직면한 최우선 해결과제로 기후변화를 언급하였다. 최저 기온 상승과 가뭄 영향 지역 확대, 폭염일수와 지역적 홍수 위험 증가 등 각종 이상기상이 야기하는 피해 확대에 대한 예상과 우려 때문이다(IPCC, 2007). 세계적으로 고온극한과 호우빈도 증가, 태풍 세기가 강화될 것으로 전망되고 있으며(IPCC, 2007), 국내의 경우 겨울철 한파 감소와 대설 피해 증가, 여름철 집중호우의 강도 심화, 가을철 초대형 태풍 발생으로 인한 피해 가능성이 예측 되고 있다(기상연구소, 2007). 현재, 이러한 현상들을 가시화하고 대처방안을 마련하기 위한 일환으로 기후변화 시나리오(GCM)가 작성되어 연구에 이용되고 있다. 그러나 GCM의 경우, 공간적 해상도가 낮아 지형학적 특성 등을 충분히 반영하지 못하는 단점이 있어 최근에는 공간 해상도가 GCM보다 높은 RCM(Regional Climate Model, 지역기후모델)자료를 적용한 연구도 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SRES A2 온난화가스시나리오 기반의 기상청 RegCM3 RCM($27km{\times}27km$)로 부터 일(daily)단위 자료를 각각 모의하여 비교하고, BLRPM을 이용하여 일(daily)단위 자료를 시(hourly)단위로 분해(disaggregation)하였다. 그리고 이들을 이용하여 지속기간별 확률강우량을 산정하여 미래 기후변화가 극한 강우에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

본 연구에서는 한강유역 109개 지점의 강우관측소에서 관측된 지속기간별 연최대강우량을 기본으로 각 지속기간별 L-모멘트값을 산정하고, 한강유역에 적합한 빈도해석기법을 정의하기 위하여 지역구분을 실시하였다. 지역구분을 위한 군집분석을 수행하기 위하여 각 지점별 기상학적 인자와 지형학적 인자를 변수로 사용하였다. 군집분석 기법인 Ward, 평균연결법, Fuzzy-c means, Two-Step방법을 이용하여 지역구분을 실시하였다. GIS를 이용하여 각 방법들을 이용하여 군집된 결과를 도시한 결과 Fuzzy-c means방법으로 구분된 지역구분이 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 구분된 지역의 동질성 여부를 판단하고 적정 분포형을 선정하였으며 지점빈도해석 및 지역빈도해석을 통하여 빈도별 확률 수문량을 산정하였다. 산정된 결과의 정확도 알아보기 위해 모의발생을 시킨 후, 각 기법별로 산정된 상대 평균 제곱근 오차(Relative Root Mean Square Error, RRMSE)를 비교 분석한 결과 대체적으로 지수홍수법과 계층적 방법이 낮은 RRMSE를 나타냈다. 따라서 한강유역에서는 지수홍수법과 계층적 방법을 적용한 지역빈도해석이 적합한 것으로 판단된다.

Sixteen percent of a total of 18,000 dam facilities in Korea are reported to suffer problems related to seepage. It has also been observed that the natural frequency of torrential rainfall has increased quite significantly in recent years. Seepage in man-made structures combined with natural phenomenon may make the risk of dam failure higher, and can even lead to disasters for the people residing in downstream area. Thus, the social demands for the technology to prevent these disasters are higher than ever. In this contribution, we provide a brief review of technologies that are used to evaluate the structural safety of dams. We also discuss the results of three case studies where geophysical exploration methods (e.g. resistivity survey) were employed to find possible seepage zones of dam structures.

This paper reports on the development of a 60㎓ wide bandwidth wireless transceiver using NRD waveguide. We fabricated a wireless transceiver using NRD waveguide, which consists of a 3 dB directional coupler, a bandpass filter, a Gunn oscillator, an ASK modulator, and a Balanced Mixer. The new transceiver is capable of transmitting an output power of 10mW to a distance of more than 1 Km, operating in 60㎓ frequency and bandwidth of 2㎓. The value of BER reached approximately 10 when the transceiver was tested at the 155.52Mbps ATM(OC 3) at the communication distance of 1 km. It demonstrated an impressively stable transmission feature of BER l0$^{6}$ even in the heavy rainfall.

In this study, we calculated the fixed-type Areal Reduction Factor (ARF) of the Hancheon River basin in Jeju Island, and compared the calculated ARF and the ARF of the four major river basins suggested by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. As a result, the maximum fluctuation ratios of ARF for the four major river basins calculated using area, frequency, and initial duration time were significant: 7.61% for the Hangang River basin; 12.69% for the Nakdonggang River basin; 8.09% for the Kumgang River basin; and 17.98% for the Yeongsangang River basin. In addition, the differences between the maximum and minimum value of ARF for the Hancheon River basin based on 48 hours was 2.13%, and it was smaller than the one for the four major river basins: 8.92% for the Hangang River basin; 11.41% for the Nakdonggang River basin; 8.87% for the Kumgang River basin; and 17.17% for the Yeongsangang River basin. The Yeongsangang River basin had the highest difference.

강우사상은 강우량, 지속기간, 강우강도 등의 특성으로 표현될 수 있으며 이런 인자들을 같이 고려할수록 그 현상을 보다 종합적으로 표현할 수 있다. 하지만 현재 일반적으로 이루어지는 일변량 빈도해석절차에서는 지속기간을 고정시켜놓고 각 지속시간에 따른 결과만을 도출해 낼 수 있기 때문에 지속기간에 대해 제약적이고 입력자료에 존재하지 않는 지속기간에 대한 결과를 얻기가 어렵다. Copula모델은 두 일변량 분포형을 다변량 분포형으로 연결하여 주는 모델이다. 따라서 강우량과 지속기간을 변수로 사용하면 Copula모델을 통한 이변량 강우빈도해석은 보편적으로 이루어지고 있는 일변량 지점빈도해석보다 지속기간에 대해 유연한 결과를 나타낼 수 있다. 즉, 강우와 지속기간이 동시에 변수로 사용되기 때문에 임의의 지속기간이나 강우에 대해서 확률강우량 및 확률지속기간을 얻을 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 서울지점을 대상으로 1961∼2009년 동안 발생한 강우사상 중 각 년도에서 최대강우량이 발생한 사상을 추출하여 입력자료로 사용하였다. Copula 모형은 Gumbel-Hougaard, Frank, Joe, Clayton, Galambos등 총 5개의 모델을 적용하였고 각 Copula의 매개변수는 준모수방법인 maximum pseudolikelihood estimator를 이용하여 추정하였다.

This study, based on the monthly rainfall data, was carried out to determine the agricultural drought index which enables to describe the regional and seasonal drought characteristics of rice cropping system in Korea. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1.A new agricultural drought index (ADI) was evaluated seasonally according to the product of drought intensity and duration. This ADI is proposed as standard design criterion for irrigation planning. 2.The relationship between agricultural drought index and return periods was figured out. These diagrams could be used to estimate the seasonal drought severity of a certain year and to select design year corresponding to the specific drought frequency. 3.The regional drought characteristics were classified and those are useful to determine proper rice varieties and planting time and make drought counterplans. 4.Spring drought occurred once in 3 or 4 years and in a regional respect, rather frequently occurred in Seoul and Daegu areas than in Busan, Daejeon, Kwangju and Chuncheon areas. Summer drought occurred once in 5 years in Daegu and Busan areas and once in 7 or 8 years in other areas. 5.Sequential drought which gave severe drought damage of rice production occurred once in 20 years in Daegu area and in 10 years in Kwangju area.

Based on the statistical annual report, there are 17,649 reservoirs are operating for the purpose of agricultural water supply in Korea. 58 % of entire agricultural reservoirs had been constructed before 1948 which indicate the termination of required service life and rest of those reservoirs have also exposed to the dam break risk by extreme flood event caused by current ongoing climate change. To prevent damages from dam failure accident of these risky small size dams, it is necessary to evaluate and manage the structural and hydrological safety of the reservoirs. In this study, a simplified evaluation method for hydrologic safety of dam is suggested by using Rational and Creager formula. Hydrologic safety of small scale dams has evaluated by calculating flood discharge capacity of the spillway and compares the results with design frequency of each reservoir. Applicability and stability of suggested simplified method have examined and reviewd by comparing the results from rainfall-runoff modeling with dam break simulation using HEC-HMS. Application results of developed methodology for three sample reservoirs show that simplified assessment method tends to calculate greater inflow to the reservoirs then HEC-HMS model which lead lowered hydrologic safety of reservoirs. Based on the results of application, it is expected that the developed methodology can be adapted as useful tool for small scale reservoir's hydrologic safety evaluation.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the hydrological impact due to temporal land cover change by gradual urbanization of Anseong-cheon Gongdo watershed ($371.8km^2$). Land covers of 1981, 1990, 2000 Landsat TM images were classified by maximum likelihood method. The watershed showed a trend that forest & paddy areas decreased about $33km^2$ and $27km^2$, respectively and urban area increased about $11km^2$ during the periods. To identify the impact of streamflow due to urbanization, WMS HEC-1 was used. According to apply Huffs quartile storm events by changing land cover data, peak runoff discharge of each frequency rainfall (50, 100, 500 years) increased about 56, 36, $192m^3/sec$, respectively.
