In recent years, urbanization has been a hot issues in watershed management due to increased pollutant loads from impervious urban areas. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely used in hydrology and water quality studies at watershed scale. However, the SWAT has limitations in simulating water flows between HRUs and hydrological effects of LID practices. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) has LID capabilities, but it does not simulate non-urban areas, especially agricultural areas. In this study, a SWAT-SWMM coupled model was developed to evaluate effects of LID practices on hydrology and water quality at mixed-landuse watersheds. This coupled SWAT-SWMM was evaluated by comparing calibrated flow with and without coupled SWAT-SWMM. As a result of this study, the $R^2$ and NSE values with SWAT are 0.951 and 0.937 for calibration period, and 0.882 and 0.875 for validation period, respectively. the $R^2$ and NSE values with SWAT-SWMM are 0.877 and 0.880 for validation period. Out of four LID scenarios simulated by SWAT-SWMM model, the green roof scenario was found to be most effective which reduces about 25% of rainfall-runoff flows.

수자원장기종합계획에 따르면 전국 지하수위는 지하수 이용의 지속적인 증가와 도시화에 따른 지하수 함양감소 등으로 최근 매년 조금씩 감소하고 있다. 특히, 환경부의 지하수조사연보(2018)에 따르면 남한강하류 중권역은 한강수계 전체 지하수 사용량의 약 34.5 %를 차지하고 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, 2009년에 비하여 2017년의 지하수위는 1.4 m의 감소 되었다. 본 연구는 한강유역에서 지하수 개발밀도가 높은 이천시에 위치해 있는 복하천 유역(303.8㎢)을 대상으로 지하수위 감소에 따른 기저유량 변동특성을 파악하기 위하여 SWAT-MODFLOW(Soil And Water Assessment Tool-MODFLOW)을 적용하고자 한다. SWAT-MODFLOW는 준분포형 장기유출모형 SWAT과 3차원 분포형 지하수 모의가 가능한 MODFLOW를 연계한 모형이며, MODFLOW만으로는 해결할 수 없는 일별 지하수 함양량의 분포와 SWAT만으로는 계산 불가능했던 지하수위의 시공간 분포를 보완하여 재생함으로써 두 모형의 한계를 극복한 모델이다. SWAT의 검보정 결과로서는 RMSE는 10.6 mm/day, NSE는 0.72, R²는 0.69 효율이 나타났으나, 지하수 유출이 보정되지 않아 MODFLOW의 입력자료인 토양두께(m), 수리전도도(m/day), 비저류량(1/m), 비산출율을 토양통에 따라 분류한 해외논문(Steven et.al 2005) 자료를 산정하여 SWAT-MODFLOW 두모형을 연계한 프로그램에 입력하여 지하수 유출을 보완하였고 SWAT과 SWAT-MDFLOW 지하수 유출량 비교뿐만이 아닌 SWAT-MODFLOW의 출력자료인 지하수위 및 지하수 충진량을 검토하였다.

This study aims to quantify the uncertainty that can be induced by the objective function when calibrating SWAT parameters using SWAT-CUP. SWAT model was constructed to estimate runoff in Naesenong-cheon, which is the one of mid-watershed in Nakdong River basin, and then automatic calibration was performed using eight objective functions (R², bR², NS, MNS, KGE, PBIAS, RSR, and SSQR). The optimum parameter sets obtained from each objective function showed different ranges, and thus the corresponding hydrologic characteristics of simulated data were also derived differently. This is because each objective function is sensitive to specific hydrologic signatures and evaluates model performance in an unique way. In other words, one objective function might be sensitive to the residual of the extreme value, so that well produce the peak value, whereas ignores the average or low flow residuals. Therefore, the hydrological similarity between the simulated and measured values was evaluated in order to select the optimum objective function. The hydrologic signatures, which include not only the magnitude, but also the ratio of the inclining and declining time in hydrograph, were defined to consider the timing of the flow occurrence, the response of watershed, and the increasing and decreasing trend. The results of evaluation were quantified by scoring method, and hence the optimal objective functions for SWAT parameter calibration were determined as MNS (342.48) and SSQR (346.45) with the highest total scores.

The SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) should be calibrated and validated with observed data to secure accuracy of model prediction. Recently, the SWAT-CUP (Calibration and Uncertainty Program for SWAT) software, which can calibrate SWAT using various algorithms, were developed to help SWAT users calibrate model efficiently. In this study, three algorithms (GLUE: Generalized Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation, PARASOL: Parameter solution, SUFI-2: Sequential Uncertainty Fitting ver. 2) in the SWAT-CUP were applied for the Soyang-gang dam watershed to evaluate these algorithms. Simulated total streamflow and 0~75% percentile streamflow were compared with observed data, respectively. The NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency) and $R^2$ (Coefficient of Determination) values were the same from three algorithms but the P-factor for confidence of calibration ranged from 0.27 to 0.81 . the PARASOL shows the lowest p-factor (0.27), SUFI-2 gives the greatest P-factor (0.81) among these three algorithms. Based on calibration results, the SUFI-2 was found to be suitable for calibration in Soyang-gang dam watershed. Although the NSE and $R^2$ values were satisfactory for total streamflow estimation, the SWAT simulated values for low flow regime were not satisfactory (negative NSE values) in this study. This is because of limitations in semi-distributed SWAT modeling structure, which cannot simulated effects of spatial locations of HRUs (Hydrologic Response Unit) within subwatersheds in SWAT. To solve this problem, a module capable of simulating groundwater/baseflow should be developed and added to the SWAT system. With this enhancement in SWAT/SWAT-CUP, the SWAT estimated streamflow values could be used in determining standard flow rate in TMDLs (Total Maximum Daily Load) application at a watershed.

The groundwater recharge was assessed by using both SWAT and HELP models in Bocheong-cheon watershed. The SWAT model is a comprehensive surface and subsurface model, but it lacks the physical basis for simulating a soil water percolation process. The HELP model which has a drawback in simulating subsurface lateral flow and groundwater flow component can simulate soil water percolation process by considering the unsaturated flow effect of soil layers. The SWAT model has been successfully applied for estimating groundwater recharge in a number of watersheds in Korea, while the application of HELP model has been very limited. The subsurface lateral flow parameter was proposed in order to consider the subsurface lateral flow effect in HELP model and the groundwater recharge was simulated by the modified exponential decay weighting function in HELP model. The simulation results indicate that the recharge of HELP model significantly depends on the values of lateral flow parameter. The recharge errors between SWAT and HELP are the smallest when the lateral flow parameter is about 0.6 and the recharge rates between two models are shown to be reasonably comparable for daily, monthly, and yearly time scales. The HELP model is useful for estimating groundwater recharge at watershed scale because the model structure and input parameters of HELP model are simpler than that of SWAT model. The accuracy of assessing the groundwater recharge might be improved by the concurrent application of SWAT model and HELP model.

This study is to check the applicability of SWAT-APEX (Soil and Water Assessment Tool-Agricultural Policy / Environmental eXtender) model as combined watershed and field models by applying the APEX to paddies in a watershed (465.1 $km^2$) including Yedang reservoir. Firstly, the SWAT were calibrated with 3 years (2000~2002) daily streamflow and monthly water quality (T-N and T-P) data, and validated for another 3 years (2003~2005) data. The average Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (ME) of streamflow during validation was 0.73, and the coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of T-N and T-P were 0.77 and 0.73 respectively. Next, running the SWAT-APEX model with the SWAT calibrated parameters for paddies, the $R^2$ of T-N and T-P were 0.80 and 0.76 respectively. The results showed that SWAT-APEX model was more correctly predicted for T-N and T-P loads than SWAT model. The difference results between watershed and field models was predicted to have substantial impact on NPS loads, especially on T-N and T-P loads. Therefore, to improve negative NPS load simulations should be considered the model characteristics as simulating mechanism to properly select the NPS model for agricultural watershed.

The appraisals of hydrology model behavior for flow and water quality are generally performed through comparison of simulated data with observed ones. To perform appraisal of hydrology model, some criteria are often used, such as coefficient of determination ($R^2$), Nash and Sutcliffe model efficiency coefficient (NSE), index of agreement (d), modified forms of NSE and d, and relative efficiency criteria NSE and d. These criteria are used not only for hydrology model estimations also for various comparisons of two data sets; This NSE has been often used for SWAT calibration. However, it has been known that the NSE value has some limitations in evaluating hydrology at watersheds under monsoon climate because this statistic is largely affected by higher values in the data set. To overcome these limitations, the SWAT auto-calibration module was enhanced with K-means clustering and direct runoff/baseflow modules. However the NSE is still being used in this module to evaluate model performance. Therefore, the SWAT Auto-calibration module was modified to incorporate alternative efficiency criteria into the SWAT K-means/direct runoff-baseflow auto-calibration module. It is expected that this enhanced SWAT auto-calibration module will provide better calibration capability of SWAT model for all flow regime.

This study aims to evaluate the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hourly hydrological modeling performance and compare it with daily SWAT modeling parameters. For the Byeolmicheon catchment ($1.17km^2$) located in the upstream of Gyeongancheon watershed and total 18 storm events measured during 3 years (2011-2013), the hourly SWAT was calibrated and validated using the Green and Ampt (G&A) infiltration equation. The determination coefficient ($R^2$) and Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency (NSE) of hourly SWAT discharge were 0.81 and 0.73 respectively, and the most sensitive parameter was soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (SOL_K) and calibrated with the average value of 0.075 mm/hr. In addition, the hourly SWAT simulation by G&A was compared with the daily SWAT simulation by SCS-CN (Soil Conservation Service-Curve Number) method for the whole 3 years period. The houlrly G&A results showed $R^2$ and NSE of 0.71 and 0.50, and the daily SCS-CN results were 0.71 and 0.66, respectively. The SOL_K by daily SCS_CN method was calibrated at 75.5 mm/hr, 1,000 times greater than the hourly G&A method. The next sensitive parameters for the hourly simulation were lag time of lateral flow (LAT_TIME) and lag time of surface runoff (SURLAG).

토지이용변화는 환경 변화에 영향을 주는 대표적인 인자이기 때문에 수문 모델링에 있어서 상당히 중요하다. 특히 급격한 도시화가 이루어지는 지역에 대해서는 토지이용변화를 반드시 고려하여야 한다. 인구와 지형자료를 이용하여 토지이용변화를 모의할 수 있는 CLUE-S 모델이 개발되었지만 아직까지 대부분 수문모델은 토지이용변화를 고려하지 못하고 있었다. 이에 Pai, N. 와 D. Saraswat은 SWAT2009_LUC Tool를 개발하여 시공간적으로 변화하는 토지를 고려한 수문모의를 가능하도록 하였다. 하지만 SWAT2009_LUC는 새로운 종류의 토지이용종류를 고려할 수 없어 유역 내 새로운 토지이용도가 추가될 시 이를 모의할 수 없다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 Friedrich J. Koch Koch는 Land use Update and Soil Assessment(LUPSA)를 개발하여 새로운 토지이용도 및 변화된 토지이용도의 경사도를 추가적으로 고려할 수 있도록 하였다. 하지만 LUPSA 모듈은 공개되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SWAT 사용자들이 토지이용변화를 많이 고려할 수 있도록 Web 기반의 LUC 모듈을 개발하였으며, SWAT BFlow Alpha Factor와 경사도 기반의 CN을 산정할 수 있는 모듈을 추가하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 Web 기반의 LUC는 국내뿐만 아니라 해외 SWAT 사용자들로 하여금 급격하게 토지가 변화한 유역에 대해 정확한 수문모의를 하는데 기여할 것이라 판단된다.

국내·외로 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) 모델은 유역 단위에서 유출 및 수질을 예측하는데 활용되고 있다. 하지만 SWAT 모델의 결과물은 데이터 테이블 형식으로만 이루어져 있기 때문에 모델 사용자가 유역 내 하천별 수문 모의 결과물을 직관적으로 확인하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 최근 다양한 분야에서 3D 가상환경을 구축하는데 디지털 트윈 기술의 활용성이 증가하고 있다. 디지털 트윈 기술은 현실의 공간을 가상환경으로 구축해 실시간 현실의 상황을 파악하여, 의사결정 지원을 제공한다는 장점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 디지털 트윈 기술과 SWAT 모델을 연계하여, 모델의 결과값을 가상환경 3D 지도인 CESIUM에 실시간으로 표출할 수 있는 디지털 트윈 기반 SWAT 모델 수문 모의 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 3D 지형에 SWAT 모델을 통해 모의 된 하천의 수위 및 SS에 대한 표출이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 기후나 유역환경에 따른 유역 내 수문 변화를 시·공간적으로 파악할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 향후 본 연구에서 개발된 디지털 트윈 기반 SWAT 모델 수문 모의 시스템은 홍수 및 가뭄과 같은 재해에 대응할 수 있는 유역 및 하천관리 대책을 효율적으로 수립하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
