The usages of urban riverine areas for the Gapchoen and Yudungcheon in Daejoen City were evaluated by analyzing riverbed characteristics and water quality and by surveying the status of the floodplain usage including questionnaires of people visiting the rivers. Both rivers appear to be stable with insignificant bed changes as the riverbeds are dominated by gravels. Water qualities of both rivers have been improved significantly over the past decade although there are quite large seasonal fluctuations, which is common in most rivers in Korea. The results of floodplain usage analyses show that Gapcheon is dominated with static uses (>70%) such as promenades and resting facilities, while Yudungcheon by dynamic uses (>44%) such as sports facilities. Overall, both rivers require better plans for riverine area usage management considering a balance between the dynamic uses and the static uses such as natural observation places for education and habitats for birds and fish in the rivers. The questionnaire survey results indicate that overall the present status of both rivers are satisfactory and that water quality improvement is one of the key factors to enhance the value of the riverine areas. Future river restoration should be conducted by taking into account the characteristics of urban rivers in harmony with surrounding natural sceneries.

This study analyzes the spatial distribution of the highest level terrace which can be regarded as an initial land surface before the uplift of the Taebaek Mountains and estimates spatial characteristics of the incision and uplift rates around the Mountains. The altitude above the riverbed of the 54 highest level terraces seems to be greatly influenced by the incision of large stream and their elevation shows a high correlation with the uplift of the Mountains. The elevation of the terraces in the north and middle parts decreases westward with a rate of 5~6 m/km and meets with the sea level at area 100~120 km apart from the Mountains. Therefore, it can be suggested that the west coast of Korea might have generally experienced subsidence during the Quaternary. The elevation of the terraces suggests that area with a direction of N-S or NNW-SSE from Yeoryang-myeon, Jeongseon-gun to Taebaek-si shows the highest uplift rate around the Mountains and area with a direction of N-S connecting Girin-myeon, Inje-gun and Pyeongchang-eup, Pyeongchang-gun also indicates a high uplift rate.

Recent development of industry and urbanization in the interior of mountainous area increases the possibility of occurence of natural disaster, such as flood, landslide and deblis-flow. Erosion control facilities, which were the most significant activity to riverbed fixiation, were constructed at the downstream of the experimental basin. In the mountain torrents, the complex bed load transport has occurred by the drift of running water, and resulting in a formation of terrace deposits. Especially, channel migration caused by scouring and deposition frequently occurs at the wide areas of the river bed. Consequently, the unsymmetrical river bed charactristics indicate the degree of the channel migration.

낙동강 상류에 위치한 안동, 임하 댐 하류 하천에서 두 댐에 의한 충적하천의 변화와 식생이입 현상을 정성적, 정량적으로 조사, 분석하였다. 하천형태 및 하상재료 분석 결과, 댐 하류는 전반적으로 저하되었고 일부 구간은 최대 3m 이상 세굴 되었다. 하상재료도 전반적으로 임하댐 건설 전 평균 1.5mm에서 건설 후 2.5mm로 조립화되었다. 댐 건설로 인한 하상소류력의 감소는 사주에 식생 활착을 촉진시켰으며, 그 결과 사주의 식생이입률은 1971년 자연 상태에서 8% 수준에서 안동댐 건설 후 1988년에 25%로 증가하였다. 임하댐이 완공된 1992년 이후 사주 상 식생이입은 가속화되어 겨우 3년이 지난 1995년에 사주 식생이입률은 43%가 되고, 그 후 10년이 지난 2005년에는 74%까지 증가하였다. 세부조사구간 중 하나인 윗절에서 항공사진에 의한 식생천이 현상을 분석한 결과 모래와 자갈이 노출된 '맨' 사주에서 시작하여 큰개여뀌, 달뿌리풀, 버드나무류 유식물 등 개척 단계를 지나, 일부 달뿌리풀은 유지되고 버드나무 관목이 등장하고 나중에는 선버들이나 왕버들 같은 교목림으로 정착되는 것으로 나타났다. 하회마을 앞과 강 건너 점 사주의 경우 타 논문에서 기제시된 여건 등으로 2005년 항공사진에서 식생이입은 억제되는 것으로 보였지만, 2009년에 촬영한 사진에 상당 부분 확대되는 것으로 나타나 이에 대한 대책이 필요하다. 사주 상 식생이입의 가속화는 구담습지 등 자연 상태의 모래하천에서 찾아보기 어려운 독특한 배후습지를 창출하여 환경적으로 종의 다양성이 커져서 서식처로서 가치 자체는 높아질 수 있다. 마지막으로, 댐에 의한 홍수량 감소와 그에 따른 하상소류력 감소가 사주 상 식생이입 및 활착을 가속화시켰다는 가설은 대표 단면에서 무차원 하상전단응력의 검토 결과 확인되었다.

The Namdae stream in Gangneung-si is one of the rivers where salmon stock is mainly maintained by natural spawning rather than artificial seedlings. There are structures including weir, and fish distribution and movement characteristics can be different by these structures. In this study, we investigated the distribution and behavioral characteristics of salmon by sighting survey within 12 km immediately upstream of the river mouth between October 2021 and February 2022. As a result, salmon distributed within 9 km from rivermouth. There were more salmon in the lower reaches of Doosan weir than in the upper reaches of that. The main spawning ground for salmon was between 7-9 km from rivermouth and around the lower part of Doosan weir. Salmon behaved for spawning in the gravel-bed area and undercut slope of the mainstream, such as mating, digging the riverbed, and competition among males. Salmon moved more slowly in the gravel-bed area than sand-bed area. Doosan weir hinders the spawning migration of salmon by frequent flow changes and terraced fishway. This study provides primary information to understand the ecological changes of salmon by environmental changes in the Namdae stream.

The purpose of this study is to derive the optimal methodology estimating the changes of fluvial hydraulic characteristics due to semi-covering work of urban stream. First, after collecting the data of the daily maximum rainfall of Chungju gaging station, the frequency analysis was carried out with frequency factor method, which includes normal, two-parameter and three-parameter lognormal, Gumbel-Chow, pearson type III, log-pearson type III distribution, and the goodness of fit test was executed by $x^2$-test and Kormogorov-Smimov test. Using the SCS method, the effective rainfall was estimated and the peak flow was calculated by the area-routing method. The HEC-2 model was applied to calculate water surface profiles for steady, gradually varied flow at Kyohyun river system in Chungju city. The model was applied to floodplain and riverbed management to evaluate flood way encroachments and to delineate flood hazard by riverside roadway construction. The model also was used to evaluate effects on water surface profiles of river improvement and levees as well as the presence of bridges or other hydraulic structures in the floodplain.

This study was focused on estimating instream flow, and its optimal alternative for securing the required total amount of instream flow was also researched in order to restore ecosystems and riverine aesthetics of the Mugeo Stream. the first tributary of the Taewha River flowing through the center of Ulsan. In this study the hydraulic and hydrologic conditions and water quality were investigated at specific channel reaches and representative stations of the Mugeo Stream to determine a proper estimate of instream flow. And riverine functions, such as the minimum flow, water duality conservation, fish habitat, and recreation, were considered to restore the environmental functions of the stream, As a result, the total amount of $11,500m^3/day$ was set as the target instream flow for the Mugeo Stream. It was chosen as the optimal alternative for securing the total external supply of $10,000m^3/day$ which have to be transfered from the riverbed flow diverted through the Taewha Main river at upstream of Samho bridge. The water duality throughout the Mugeo Stream channels will be improved considerably to 3-4 mg/l of BOD standard if the target instream flow is supplied and sewage is intercepted by the sanitary sewage system.

Sand dam is a successful water harvesting method in mountainous areas with ephemeral rivers. The success is dependent on several factors including material type, hydrogeology, slope, riverbed thickness, groundwater recharge, and streamflow. In this study, the effect of a sand dam on the groundwater level in the Chuncheon area, South Korea was assessed using the MODFLOW model. Using the model, multiple scenarios were tested to understand the groundwater head before and after the construction of the sand dam. The effect of groundwater abstraction before and after sand dam construction and the sand material type were also assessed. The results show, the groundwater level increases substantially after the application of a sand dam. The comparison of model outputs, simulated groundwater head before and after sand dam application with and without pumping well, shows a clear difference in the head. The material type has also an effect on the groundwater head. As the conductivity of the material increases, the head showed a significant rise.
