전 세계적인 기후변화로 인한 기상이변 현상으로 국지성 호우가 빈번하게 발생하는 시점에 강우로 인한 토양유실 문제가 심각하게 대두되고 있다. 특히 토양유실은 도시지역보단 농업지역에서 다량 발생되고 있어 많은 영양염류가 하천으로 유입되 환경문제가 빈번히 발생되고 있다. 이러한 토양유실문제를 저감시키기 위해서 환경부에서는 비점오염원관리지역을 지정하여 관리하고 있다. 강원도 내 비점오염원관리지역으로 선정된 홍천군 자운지구는 소양호 상류에 위치한 지역으로 대부분의 농경지가 고랭지밭으로 구성되어 있다. 홍천군 자운지구 내 고랭지밭은 대규모 농업단지로 구성되어 있어 지역 내 위치한 구거가 무단으로 점용되어 농경지로 활용되는 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이에 홍천군에서는 농경지로 점용된 구거를 복원하는 사업을 진행하고 있지만 길제 구거 복원으로 저감되는 토양유실량에 대한 분석은 수행되지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비점오염원관리지역으로 지정된 홍천군 자운지구의 지적 상 농경지로 이용되고 있는 구거를 복원할 경우 발생되는 토양유실저감효과를 분석했다. 구거복원에 따른 토양유실저감효과를 분석하기 위해 사용된 모형은 SATEEC L Module이다. SATEEC L Module은 수치표고모형과 최대 허용 경사장을 이용하여 경사장을 산정한 후 Moore and Burch의 방법을 이용하여 LS factor를 산정하도록 구성되어 있다. 해당 Module을 사용하여 산정된 LS factor와 USLE 공식을 적용하여 구거 복원 시 저감되는 토양유실량을 분석했다. 분석결과 점용된 구거를 복원하면 자운지구 내 발생되는 토양유실량을 약 16.6%를 저감할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구를 통해 분석된 결과는 비점오염원관리지역의 토양유실을 저감할 수 있는 방법연구에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

There have been serious soil erosion and water pollution problems caused by highland agriculture practices at Doam-dam watershed. Especially agricultural activities, chemical and organic fertilizer and pesticide applications, soil reconditioning to maintain soil fertility are known as primary causes of soil erosion and water qaulity degradation in the receiving water bodies. Among these, soil reconditioning can accelerate soil erosion rates. To develop soil erosion prevention practices, it is necessary to estimate the soil erosion from the watershed. Thus, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model has been developed and utilized to assess soil erosion. However, the USLE model cannot be used at watershed scale because it does not consider sediment delivery ratio (SDR) for watershed application. For this reason, the Sediment Assessment Tool for Effective Erosion Control (SA TEEC) was developed to assess the sediment yield at any point in the watershed. The USLE-based SA TEEC system can estimate the SDR using area-based SDR and slope-based SDR module. In this study, the SATEEC system was used to estimate soil erosion and sediment yield at the Doam-dam watershed using the soil properties from reconditioned agricultural fields. Based on the soil sampling and analysis, the US LE K factor was calculated and used in the SA TEEC system to analyze the possible errors of previous USLE application studies using soil properties from the digital soil map, and compared with that using soil properties obtained in this study. The estimated soil erosion at the Doam-dam watershed without using soil properties obtained in the soil sampling and analysis is 1,791,400 ton/year (123 ton/ha/year), while the soil erosion amount is 2,429,900 ton/year (166.8 ton/ha/year) with the use of soil properties from the soil sampling and analysis. There is 35 % increase in estimated soil erosion and sediment yield with the use of soil properties from soil reconditioned agricultural fields. Since significant amount of soil erosion are known to be occurring from the agricultural fields, the soil erosion and sediment yield from only agricultural fields was assessed. The soil erosion rate is 45.9 ton/ha/year without considering soil properties from soil reconditioned agricultural fields, while 105.3 ton/ha/year after considering soil properties obtained in this study, increased in 129%. This study shows that it is very important to use correct soil properties to assess soil erosion and sediment yield simulation. It is recommended that further studies are needed to develop environment friendly soil reconditioning method should be developed and implemented to decrease the speed of soil erosion rates and water quality degradation.

Soil loss is one of the significant disasters which have threatened human community and ecosystem. Particularly, Korea has high vulnerability of soil loss because rainfall is concentrated during summer and mountainous regions take more than 70% of total land resources. Accordingly, the sediment control management plan are required to prevent the loss of soil resources and to improve water quality in the receiving waterbodies. In this regard, the objectives of this study are 1) to quantify the effect of the Vegetative Filter Strip (VFS) on sediment runoff reduction and 2) to analyze the relationship of rainfall intensity and sediment runoff. For this, SATEEC and VFSMOD were used to estimate sediment runoff according to rainfall intensity and to quantify the effect of VFS on sediment runoff reduction, respectively. In this study, the VFS has higher impact on sediment reduction for lower maximum rainfall intensity, which means that the maximum rainfall intensity is one of significant factors to control sediment runoff. Also, the sediment with VFS considered was highly correlated with maximum rainfall intensity. For these results, this study will contribute to extend the applicability of VFS in establishing eco-friendly sediment control plans.

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 was utilized to assess soil erosion. If the illegally cultivated agricultural areas are converted back to forest, it would be 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 would be 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.

Soil loss is a serious problem frequently caused by local torrential rainfalls due to climate change. In particular, soil loss is occurring in agricultural areas rather than urban areas, and many pollutants are introduced into rivers, causing environmental problems. To reduce soil loss, the Ministry of Environment has designated and managed non-point source management areas. The Jaun-district in Hongcheon-gun, which was designed as a non-point pollution source management area in Gangwon-do, is located in the upper stream of Soyang Lake. Most of the agricultural fields are composed of highland agriculture fields. The highland agricultural fields in the Jaun-district are also composed of large-scale farming areas, and the ditches located near the agricultural fields have been illegally used for farmland. Therefore, the local government in Hongcheon-gun is conducting a project to restore the ditches occupied by agricultural fields. However, an analysis of the amount of soil loss that can be reduced by the restoration of the ditches has not been conducted yet. Thus, the purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of reducing the soil loss from the restoration of the ditches used as agricultural fields in the Jaun-district. The SATEEC L Module was used to analyze the reduction in soil loss by ditch restoration. The SATEEC L Module was constructed to estimate the LS factor using Moore and Burch's method after calculating the slope length using the digital elevation model and the maximum allowable slope length. The LS factor and the USLE formula were used to estimate the amount of soil loss that could be reduced by ditch restoration. The analysis showed that the ditch restoration could reduce about 16.6% of the soil loss in the Jaun-district. The results of this study will contribute to the study of methods to reduce soil loss in non-point pollution management areas.

Jeju island, which is located along the moving path of typhoon, suffers from flooding and overflow by torrential rain. So abrupt runoff occurring, damages of downstream farm field and shore culturing farms are increasing. In this study, Oaedo stream, one of the mountainous streams on Jeju island, was selected as the basin of study subject and was classified into 3 sub-basins, and after the characteristics of subject basin, the soil erosion amount and the sediment delivery of the stream by land usage distribution were estimated with the use of SATEEC ArcView GIS, the sediment yield amount of 2000 and 2005 was analyzed comparatively. As a result of estimating the sediment yield amount of 2000, the three sub-basins were respectively 12,572.7, 14,080 and 157,761 tons/year. and sediment yield amounts were estimated as 35,172.9, 5,266 and 258,535 tons/year respectively in 2005. The soil erosion and sediment yield amount of 2005 using single storm rainfall were estimated high compared with 2000, but for sub-basin 2, the values rather decreased due to changes in land use, and the land coverage of 2005, since there are many classifications of land usage compared with 2000, enabling to reflect more accurate land usage condition, could deduce appropriate results. It is anticipated that such study results can be utilized as basic data to propose a direction to predict the amount of sediment yield that causes secondary flooding damage and deteriorates water quality within detention pond and grit chamber, and take action against damages in the downstream farm field and shore culturing farms.

Due to increased human activities and intensive rainfall events in a watershed, soil erosion and sediment transport have been hot issues in many areas of the world. To evaluate soil erosion problems spatially and temporarily, many computer models have been developed and evaluated over the years. However, it would not be reasonable to apply the model to a watershed if topography and environment are different to some degrees. Also, source codes of these models are not always public for modification. The ArcGIS model builder provides ease-of-use interface to develop model by linking several processes and input/output data together. In addition, it would be much easier to modify/enhance the model developed by others. Thus, simple model was developed to decide soil erosion hot spot areas using ArcGIS model builder tool in this study. This tool was applied to a watershed to evaluate model performance. It was found that sediment yield was estimated to be 13.7 ton/ha/yr at the most severe soil erosion hot spot area in the study watershed. As shown in this study, the ArcGIS model builder is an efficient tool to develop simple models without professional programming abilities. The model, developed in this study, is available at http://www.EnvSys.co.kr/~sateec/toolbox for free download. This tool can be easily modified for further enhancement with simple operations within ArcGIS model builder interface. Although very simple soil erosion and sediment yield were developed using model builder and applied to study watershed for soil erosion hot spot area in this study. The approaches shown in this study provides insights for model development and code sharing for the researchers in the related areas.

토양유실은 수생태계에 악영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 상수원과 수계를 오염시키는 대표적인 오염원으로 간주되고 있다. 이러한 토양유실에 대한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 무엇보다 토양유실 발생 현황을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 토양유실 발생 현황을 파악하기 위하여 SWAT, SATEEC, APEX 등 다양한 수문모형 모델들이 개발되어 왔다. 그러나 각각의 수문모형 모델에서 어떠한 토양유실 산정 공식을 사용하였는지에 따라 모의 결과에서 다소 차이를 보이게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 필지나 유역을 대상으로 토양유실량을 산정함에 있어 어떠한 공식이 토양유실에 미치는 영향인자를 가장 잘 모의하는지 분석하여 적용하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 분지 특성의 유역으로, 유역 내 경작지가 집약적으로 모여 있어 토양유실 문제가 심각한 양구군 해안면 유역을 대상으로 시범 적용하였다. 토양유실량을 모의하기 위한 모델은 USLE, AOF, RUSLE, MUSLE, MUST, MUSS, MUSI의 공식 중에서 사용자가 지정한 공식에 따라 모의가 가능한 APEX 모델로 선정하였다. 본 연구에서는 양구군 해안면의 실측 유량자료를 기반으로 각 공식에 따른 토양유실량에 대하여 검정 작업을 진행하였으며, 이를 양구군 해안면의 토양유실 실측값과 비교 분석하여 해안면 유역에서 토양유실에 미치는 영향인자를 가장 잘 반영할 수 있는 공식이 무엇인지 확인하였다. 본 연구결과를 통해 양구군 해안면 유역에서 발생하는 토양유실량을 예측할 수 있는 최적의 공식을 확인함으로써 토양유실 관련 연구에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 양구군 해안면 유역을 대상으로 최적의 토양유실 산정공식을 찾았지만, 타 유역의 토양유실량을 평가하기에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 APEX를 이용한 전국단위 토양유실량 평가를 통해 범용화 할 수 있는 공식을 찾는 추가적인 연구를 진행한다면 보다 정밀한 토양유실량 산정이 가능하게 되어 향후 우리나라 토양유실 관련 연구에 큰 기여를 할 것으로 기대된다.
