토양유실량을 산정하기 위한 모델로 Universsal Soil Loss Equation(USLE)가 전 세계적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. USLE 모형은 농경지에서 면상침식(Sheet erosion)과 세류침식(Rill erosion)을 모의할 수 있는 시험포단위 모형(Field-scale)으로 농경지에서 유실된 토양이 하류 하천으로 얼마나 흘러 들어가 하류 수계의 탁수발생과 이에 따른 수질악화에 얼마나 기여하는지, 즉, 유역단위의 토양유실량을 평가하는데 이용될 수 없다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) ArcView 시스템이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. SATEEC ArcView 시스템은 USLE모형의 입력자료와 DEM만으로 유역면적에 따른 유달률을 산정하여 유역에서 유실된 토양이 얼마만큼 하류로 유달되는지를 모의할 수 있으며, 유역 경사도에 의한 유달률도 산정할 수 있어 지형적인 특성을 좀 더 다양하게 분석 할 수 있게 개발 되었다. 그러나 ArcView는 출시한지 오래되어 사용자가 많지 않고, 프로그램상의 오류가 많고, 대용량의 데이터 처리가 가능한 64비트 운영체제에서는 설치가 불가능한 단점이 있다. 또한, ArcView의 프로그래밍 언어인 Avenue는 클래스를 정의한다거나 상속을 한다거나 하는 문법을 제공하지 않기 때문에 객체지향 언어로 보기에는 부족하다고 할 수 있다. 또한, 최근의 ArcGIS 기반의 많은 모델들이 서로 연계하여 사용하고 있으나, Avenue는 기타 다른 프로그래밍 언어와 연계하여 사용하기가 쉽지 않은 단점이 있다. 그러나 최근 ArcGIS 버전들의 프로그래밍 언어인 Python은 간결하고 확장성이 좋으며, 다른 언어와의 연계가 쉽다. 또한, ArcGIS 10.x버전부터 제공되는 arcpy 모듈은 사용자와의 접근성이 매우 향상되었다. 따라서 SATEEC ArcView 버전을 ArcGIS 10.1 기반의 Python 으로 재개발하여 기존의 불편한 접근성과 대용량 데이터의 처리가 불가능했던 부분을 개선하였다.

Soil erosion has been issued in many countries since it causes negative impacts on ecosystem at the receiving water bodies. Therefore best management practices to resolve the problem in a watershed have been developed and implemented. As a prior process, there is a need to define soil erosion level and to identify the area of concern regarding soil erosion so that the practices are effective as they are designed. Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) were developed to estimate potential soil erosion and many Geographic Information System (GIS) models employ USLE to estimate soil erosion. Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) is one of the models, the model provided several opportunities to consider various watershed peculiarities such as breaking of slope length, monthly variation of rainfall, crop growth at agricultural fields, etc. SATEEC is useful to estimate soil erosion, however the model can be implemented with ArcView software that is no longer used or hard to use currently. Therefore SATEEC based on ArcView was rebuild for the ArcGIS software with all modules provided at the previous version. The rebuilt SATEEC, ArcSATEEC, was programmed in ArcPy and works as ArcGIS Toolset and allows considering monthly variations of rainfall and crop growth at any watershed in South-Korea. ArcSATEEC was applied in Daecheong-dam watershed in this study, monthly soil erosion was estimated with monthly rainfall and crop growth variation. Annual soil erosion was computed by summing monthly soil erosion and was compared to the conventional approach to estimate annual soil erosion. The annual soil erosion estimated by the conventional approach and by summing monthly approach did not display much differences, however, ArcSATEEC was capable to provide monthly variation of soil erosion.

The universal soil loss equation (USLE), a model for estimating the potential soil loss, has been used not only in research areas but also in establishing national policies in South Korea. Despite its wide applicability, USLE cannot adequately address the effect of seasonal variances. To overcome this limit, the ArcGIS-based Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion (ArcSATEEC) has been developed as an alternative model. Although the field-scale (< 100 ㎡) application of this model produced reliable estimation results, it is still challenging to validate accuracy of the model estimation because it only estimates potential soil losses, not the actual sediment yield. Therefore, in this study, a method for estimating actual soil loss based on the ArcSATEEC model was suggested. The model was applied to eight watersheds in South Korea to estimate sediment yields. Correction factor was introduced for each watershed, and the estimated sediment yield was compared with that of the estimated yield by LOAD ESTimator (LOADEST). Sediment yield estimation for all watersheds exhibited reliable results, and the validity of the proposed correction factor was confirmed, suggesting the correction factor needs to be considered in estimating actual soil loss.

The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)-based modeling systems have been widely used to simulate soil erosion studies. However the GIS-based USLE modeling systems have limitation in gully erosion evaluation which is one of the most important factor in soil erosion estimation. In this study, the integrated soil erosion evaluation system using with Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) system, nLS and Unit Stream Power-based Erosion/Deposition (USPED) model was developed to simulate gully erosion. Gully head location using nLS model, USPED for gully erosion, and the SATEEC estimated sheet and rill erosion were evaluated and combined together with the integrated soil erosion evaluation system. This system was applied to the Haean-myeon watershed, annual average sediment-yield considering sheet, rill and gully erosion was simulated as 101,933 ton/year at the study watershed. if the integrated soil erosion evaluation system is calibrated and validated with the measured data, this system could be efficiently used in developing site-specific soil erosion best management system to reduce soil erosion and muddy water inflow into the receiving waterbody.

현재까지 약 100여개국의 나라에서 Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) 가 장기 토양 유실 가능성을 모의하는 데 사용되고 있다. 그러나 RUSLE는 유역에서의 토양 유실 가능성을 모의할 수는 있으나 하천으로 유입되는 유사량을 모의할 수 없으므로, 효과적인 유사량 관리를 위해 유실된 토양 중 얼마나 유역의 최종유출구로 유입되는 유달률(SDR, Sediment Delivery Ratio)을 고려해야 한다. 이를 위해 Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) 이 수계내 임의의 지점에서의 유사량을 구하기 위해 개발되었다. 이 SATEEC은 USLE에 기반을 두고 있으나 공간적으로 분포된 유달률 맵을 산정하기 위해 면적에 따른 유달률 공식을 이용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 경사에 따른 유달률 공식을 사용할 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 SATEEC을 이용하여 강원도 춘천시 남산면 수동리 지역에서의 면적에 따른 유달률 공식을 사용했을 경우와 경사에 따른 유달률 공식을 사용했을 경우에 따른 각각의 임의 수계의 최종 유출구에서의 유사량을 비교하였다. 같은 면적의 소유역을 갖는 각각의 유출구에서의 유사량을 면적에 의한 유달률($SDR_A$) 방법과 하천의 평균경사도를 고려한 유달률($SDR_S$) 식을 사용하여 유사량을 비교하였다. $SDR_S$에 의한 유사량($SY_S$)을 기준으로 하여 $SDR_A$에 의한 유사량($SY_A$)의 비는 $-37.83%{\sim}44.36%$로 큰 차이를 보였다.

기상변화와 지구온난화로 인해 국지성 호우의 강도와 빈도가 늘어나고 있으며 이로 인해 소양강, 도암댐, 임하댐 유역의 탁수 문제 등, 토양 유실에 관한 문제가 심각해지고 있다. 정확한 토양 유실 모의를 위하여 지난 수 십 년간 Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE) 등의 모형이 사용되었지만 이러한 모형들에 관한 연구 중 강한 집중 호우에 의해 발생하는 걸리 침식(Gully Erosion)을 적용한 경우는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 및 유사량 산정을 위하여 입력자료가 간단하고 ArcView GIS를 기반으로 융합이 가능한 Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) system, nLS, Unit Stream Power-based Erosion/Deposition (USPED) 연계 모형을 개발하여 강원도 양구군 해안면 유역에 적용하였다. 기존 SATEEC system에서는 강우 시 유역에서 발생하는 면상 침식(Sheet Erosion), 세류 침식(Rill Erosion)의 모의만이 가능하였지만, 본 연구에서 개발한 연계모형에서는 nLS 모형을 이용한 걸리 헤드 발생 지역 선정과 USPED 모형을 이용한 걸리 발생 지역에서의 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하기 때문에, 걸리 침식을 고려한 토양 유실량 산정이 가능하다. 연계 모형의 모의 결과 해안면 유역의 최종 유출구에서 발생하는 평균 유사량은 101,933 ton/year 로 산정 되었다. 토양 유실량과 유사량을 모의함에 있어, 면상, 세류, 걸리 침식을 종합적으로 고려해야 실제 지형에서 발생하는 토양 유실량 및 유사량을 좀 더 정확하게 예측할 수 있을 것이며, 본 연구에서 개발된 연계 모형을 이용한다면 실제 유역에서 발생하는 여러 형태의 토양 유실을 모의 할 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.

The Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) has been used in over 100 countries to estimate potential long-term soil erosion from the field. However, the USLE estimated soil erosion cannot be used to estimate the sediment delivered to the stream networks. For an effective erosion control, it is necessary to compute sediment delivery ratio (SDR) for watershed and sediment yield at watershed outlet. Thus, the Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) was developed to compute the sediment yield at any point in watershed. In this study, the SATEEC was applied to the Sudong watershed, Chuncheon Gangwon to compare the sediment yield using area-based sediment delivery ratio (SDRA) and slope-based sediment delivery ratio (SDRS) at watershed outlet. The sediment yield using the SDRA by Vanoni, SYA and the sediment yield using the SDRS by Willams and Berndt, SYS were compared for the same sized watersheds. The 19 subwatersheds was 2.19 ha in size, the soil loss and sediment yield were estimated for each subwatershed. Average slope of main stream was about 0.86~3.17%. Soil loss and sediment yield using SDRA and SDRS were distinguished depending on topography, especially in steep and flat areas. The SDRA for all subwatersheds was 0.762, however the SDRS were estimated in the range of 0.553~0.999. The difference between SYA and SYS was -79.74~27.45%. Thus site specific slope-based SDR is more effective in sediment yield estimation than area-based SDR. However it is recommended that watershed characteristic need to be considered in estimating yield behaviors.

The fact that soil loss causing to increase muddy water and devastate an ecosystem has been appearing upon a hot social and environmental issues which should be solved. Soil losses are occurring in most agricultural areas with rainfall-induced runoff. It makes hydraulic structure unstable, causing environmental and economical problems because muddy water destroys ecosystem and causes intake water deterioration. One of three severe muddy water source areas in Soyanggang-dam watershed is Jawoon-ri region, located in Hongcheon county. In this area, many cash-crops are planted at illegally cultivated agricultural fields, which were virgin forest areas. The purpose of this study is to estimate soil loss with current land uses (including illegal cash-crop cultivation) and soil loss reduction with land use conversion from illegal cultivation back to forest. In this study, the Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) ArcView GIS system was utilized to assess soil erosion. If the illegally cultivated agricultural areas are converted back to forest, it is expected to 17.42% reduction in soil loss. At the Jawoon-ri region, illegally cultivated agricultural areas located at over 30% and 15% slopes take 47.48 ha (30.83%) and 103.64 ha (67.29%) of illegally cultivated agricultural fields respectively. If all illegally cultivated agricultural fields are converted back to forest, it is expected that 17.41% of soil erosion and sediment reduction, 10.86% reduction with forest conversion from 30% sloping illegally agricultural fields, and 16.15% reduction with forest conversion from 15% sloping illegally agricultural fields. Therefore, illegally cultivated agricultural fields located at these sloping areas need to be first converted back to forest to maximize reductions in soil loss reduction and muddy water outflow from the Jawoon-ri regions.

Climate change has been social and environmental issues, it typically indicates the trend changes of not only temperature but also rainfall. There is a need to consider climate changes in a long-term soil erosion estimation since soil loss in a watershed can be varied by the changes of rainfall intensity and frequency of torrential rainfall. The impacts of rainfall trend changes on soil loss, one of climate changes, were estimated using Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) employing L module with current climate scenario and future climate scenario collected from the Korea Meteorological Administration. A 62 $km^2$ watershed was selected to explore the climate changes on soil loss. SATEEC provided an increasing trend of soil loss with the climate change scenarios, which were 182 ton/ha/year in 2010s, 169 ton/ha/year in 2020s, 192 ton/ha/year in 2030s,182 ton/ha/year in 2040s, and 218 ton/ha/year in 2050s. Moreover, it was found that approximately 90% of agricultural area in the watershed displayed the soil loss of 50 ton/ha/year which is exceeding the allow able soil loss regulation by the Ministry of Environment.

Accelerated soil erosion is a worldwide problem because of its economic and environmental impacts. To effectively estimate soil erosion and to establish soil erosion management plans, many computer models have been developed and used. The Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) has been used in many countries, and input parameter data for RUSLE have been well established over the years. However, the RUSLE cannot be used to estimate the sediment yield for a watershed. Thus, the GIS-based Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SATEEC) was developed to estimate soil loss and sediment yield for any location within a watershed using the RUSLE and a spatially distributed sediment delivery ratio. SATEEC was enhanced in this study by developing new modules to:1) simulate the effects of sediment retention basins on the receiving water bodies, 2) prepare input parameters for the Web-based sediment decision support system using a GIS interface. This easy-to-operate SATEEC system can be used to identify areas vulnerable to soil loss and to develop efficient soil erosion management plans.
