It is very important to secure sufficient river maintenance flow for the ecosystem, since the ecosystem in the downstream section of the dam is greatly affected by the stream maintenance flow from the dam. However, the amount of discharge from the Seomjingang Dam is decreasing year by year, this study estimated the ecological flow required for the downstream section of the Seomjingang Dam, which is known as the habitat of the endangered Acheilognathus somjinensis, in order to secure the river flow of the Seomjingang Dam. For this purpose, the proper discharge was calculated using the PHABSIM model, which is a hydrological survey and physical habitat simulation method, and the proper discharge of other fish species were also comprehensively reviewed. As a result of this study, the current river maintenance flow at the Seomjingang Dam partially satisfies the ecological maintenance flow including the Acheilognathus somjinensis in the downstream section of the Seomjingang Dam. However, this is recognized as the minimum discharge to maintain the ecology in the downstream section of the Seomjingang Dam, and it would be more desirable to secure larger river maintenance flow than this. This study can contribute the determination of the river maintenance flow of the Seomjingang Dam by proposing the river maintenance flow considering the fish habitat environment in the river.

The spatial and temporal non-uniform distribution of precipitation makes water management difficult. Due to climate change, nonuniform distribution of precipitation is worsening, and droughts and floods are occurring frequently. Additionally, the intensity of droughts and floods is intensifying, making existing water management systems difficult. From June 2022 to June 2023, most of the water storage rates of major dams in the Yeongsan river and Seomjin river basin were below 30%. In the case of Juam dam, which is the most dependent on water use in the basin, the water storage rate fell to 20.3%, the lowest ever. Pyeongnim dam recorded the lowest water storage rate of 27.3% on May 4, 2023. Due to a lack of precipitation starting in the spring of 2022, Pyeongnim dam was placed at a drought concern level on June 19, 2022, and entered the severe drought level on August 21. Pyeongrim dam and Suyangje(dam) have different operating institutions. Nevertheless, the low water level was not reached at Pyeongnim dam through organic linkage operation in a drought situation. Pyeongnim dam was able to stably supply water to 63,000 people in three counties. In order to maximize the use of limited water resources, we must review ways to move water smoothly between basins and water sources, and prepare for water shortages caused by climate change by establishing a consumer-centered water supply system.

The fundamental study of hydrologic redesign of Donghwa area located in a sccond tributary of Seomjin river was performed. The amounts of hydrologic design were estimated using the available cumulated hydrology data provided by Korea Agricultural and Rural Infrastructure Corporation (KARICO). The management status of The water resources in Donghwa area was also widely surveyed. The probability rainfalls, probable maximum precipitation (PMP) and probability floods were estimated and subsequently their changes analyzed. The amount of 200 year frequency rainfall with l day duration was 351.1 mm, 2.5 % increased from the original design value, and The PMP was 780.2 mm. The concentration time was reestimated as 2.5 hours from existing 2.4 hours. Soil Conservation Service(SCS) method was used to estimate effective rainfall- The runoff curve number was changed from 90 to 78, therefore the maximum potential retention was 71.6 mm, 154 % increased from the original value. The Hood estimates using SCS unit hydrograph showed 8 % increase from original value 623 $m^3$/s to 674 $m^3$/s and The probable maximum Hood was 1,637 $m^3$/s. Although the Row rate at the dam site was increased, the Hood risk at the downstream river was decreased by the Hood control of the Donghwa dam.

Trend of some hydrologic features such as precipitation, runoff and reservoir storage rates in the five great river systems of Han, Nakdong, Keum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river watershed areas were surveyed and analysed. The sample period of Sept. 1994 to Aug. 1998 (four years) was chracterized by unusual climatic features such as El Nino, La Nina and areal terrible storms. And also average values of rainfall and runoff of the priod of 1961 to 1990 (30 years) were surveyed and analysed compared with the sample preiod events for the same river systems. In case of the monthly mean rainfall of the sample period (Sept. 1994 to Aug. 1998 : 48 months) in the five great river systems, 20 months, 19 months, 20 months, 21 months and 18 months in the Han, Nakdong, Keum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river system respectively were higher than monthly average rainfall records of the 30 year records. For the monthly runoff in the same river systems, 7 months, 9 months, 7 months, 11 months and 11 month in the Han, Nakdong, Keum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river systems respectively were higher than the monthly average runoff of the period of 30 years. For the storage rates, most of the dams in the Han river systems were highly stored through the year continuously and Paldang dam was specially higher than the other dams in the same river system. And most of the dams in the other river systems were stored irregularly but getting much better than early time during the 48 months. And special climatic features were not found during the sample period of 48 months, Sept. 1994 to Aug. 1998.

This study simulate three-dimensional ocean circulation patterns using the EFDC model in the Kwangyang Bay and Jinju Bay, considering tide, water temperature and salinity. The numerical model results were verified using observed data. The model results well reproduced the observed data. As a result, ocean circulation patterns in the study area show convergence and divergence in the middle area of Noryang waterway and Daebang waterway, the residual flow patterns show typical two-layer circulation. According to the change of the density stratification in the Kwangyang Bay and Jinju Bay, the effect of fresh water is dominant in study area. In the case of Jinju Bay, although it is strongly influenced by the Namgang fresh water, also it is affected by Seomjin River when there is no discharge by Namgang Dam. On the other hand, the stratification of the Kwangyang Bay is relatively enhanced by the discharge of Namgang Dam.

Water supply safety index plays an important role on assessing the water supply capacity of hydrologic system. Due to the absence of consistent guidance, however, practical problems have been brought up on data period used for dam design and performance evaluation. Therefore, this study employed bivariate drought frequency analysis which is able to consider drought severity and duration simultaneously, in order to evaluate water supply capacity of multi-purpose dams. Drought characteristics were analyzed based on the probabilistic approach, and water supply capacity of five multi-purpose dams in Korea (Soyang River, Chungju, Andong, Daecheong, Seomjin River) were evaluated under the specific drought conditions. As a result, it would be possible to have stable water supply with their own inflow during summer and fall, whereas water shortage would occur even under the 1-year return period drought event during spring and winter due to low rainfall.

The water demand has been rapidly increased by the growth of population, industrialization, unbanization, water pollution and so on. This study carried out the seasonal pre-reserved planning for the five zones, comparing the water demand with the available water resources up to the goal year, 2001. The results of this study are as follows; 1) It is principle that the monthly water demand is supplied by the surface and ground water as the increasing tendency of it, and the deficit of water is supplemented by the water supplying capacity of dam. And water demand should be completely reserved before supplying the deficit of water. 2) The monthly and seasonal maximum deficit of water demand take place in June and summer. 3) The periods when the deficit of water demand exceeds the water supplying capacity of dam are 1984-1990, 1994-2001 in zone III. 4) To reserve the deficit of water demand in zone III, we would like to pre-construct Masan-Keumbo estuary barrage from 2001 to 1991 in Seomjin river basin, the deficit of water demand is supplied by the diversion of water from Yeongsan river basin with the developments of the ground water and small reservoirs until 1986.

섬진강댐은 100년빈도 홍수에 대응토록 설계되어 홍수조절 능력이 타 다목적댐 대비 상대적으로 취약함에 따라 댐운영 체계 개선이 필요하다. 이에따라 K-water는 홍수시 피해를 최소화 할 수 있도록 댐운영과 관련한 홍수대응 체계를 개선하였다. 주요 개선대책은 섬진강 홍수조절용량 추가확보, 홍수기 강우특성을 고려한 홍수조절, 하류주민 및 기관과 소통에 기반한 정보 공유체계 확립, 디지털 트윈 기반 댐 운영 의사결정시스템 구축이다. 섬진강댐의 건설홍수조절용량은 3천만m³으로, 타 다목적댐 설계빈도인 200년 대비 홍수대응 능력이 미흡하다. 이에따라, 섬진강댐은 '21.1월부터 '22.12월까지 홍수기 제한수위를 기존 197.7m에서 2.5m 낮춘 194.0m로 시범운영하고 있다. 이를통해 기존 3천만m³에서 9천만m³까지 6천만m³의 홍수조절용량을 추가 확보하였다. 이와 연계하여 홍수기 동안 섬진강댐 운영수위 기준을 별도 수립하여 홍수기 전·후반으로 나누었으며, 전반기(~7/31)는 '20년 홍수상황에서 발생한 더블피크 집중호우(360mm)에 대응가능한 홍수조절능력을 확보하고, 후반기(8/1~)는 홍수조절능력을 최대한 확보함과 동시에 차년도 용수공급을 대비할 수 있도록 운영수위를 개선하였다. 그간 수문방류 정보는 '댐 관리규정'에 따라 방류개시 3시간 전까지 방류계획을 하류지역의 지자체 및 주민에게 통보하였으나, 하류주민들이 충분히 사전준비하기에 시간적으로 부족하다는 의견을 제시함에 따라 수문방류 24시간전 사전 안내토록 '수문방류 예고제'를 도입, 시행하였다. '댐 홍수관리 소통회의'를 통해 댐 운영기관-정부기관-주민이 댐 운영에 대한 전반에 대해 함께 공유하고 운영 제약사항 및 개선사항을 공동 발굴하여 대책을 마련하는 체계를 구축하였다. 댐 운영 개선사항과 더불어 댐방류 의사결정시, 실시간 하류하천 상황에 대한 확인이 어려움에 따라, 3D기반 의사결정 지원시스템인 Digita Twin Platform을 개발 및 구축하여 '22년부터 섬진강댐 운영에 시범적용을 추진하고자 한다.

현재 섬진강 수계에서는 댐방류에 따른 하류하천의 하도추적은 수문학적 모형에 의해 운영되고 있으나, 하구의 조위 및 하천내 존재하는 수공구조물의 영향 그리고 지류에 의한 흐름분석을 위해서는 정교한 수리학적 모형이 필요하게 된다. 섬진강으로 유입하는 대표수계는 경천, 요천, 그리고 보성강이 있으며, 보성강의 상류에는 주암댐이 보성강의 유하량을 조절하게 되는 데 이를 반영한 모형구축을 지속적으로 수행할 예정이다. 또한 섬진강 하구유역에서는 조위에 의해 본류의 홍수위가 영향을 받게 되므로 이에 대한 영향도 분석하였다. 섬진강 하구에서는 여수관측소와 광양조위지점이 있는데, 두 지점 모두 일년치의 예측이 가능하게 되며 여수지점에서는 실시간 조위관측이 수행되고 있기 때문에 향후 두 지점의 조위결과값을 이용한 최적의 조위산정방법을 결정하게 된다. 본 모형은 하천에서 발생하는 부정류 수리학적 해석모형에 의해 다양한 수행결과를 제시하게 된다. 각각의 관측수위표지점과 비교한 결과 전체적인 경향에서는 합리적인 결과를 나타냄으로서 모형의 적합성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 대상구간의 전체하도에 대한 적용절차 및 분석기법 등을 참조하여 다른 수계로의 확장이 가능하게 되었다. 단면변환 및 경계조건 산정방법, 모형의 수행 및 결과 분석 등이 댐방류 또는 지류의 유입을 고려한 합리적인 하천관리를 위한 방향을 제시할 것으로 판단된다.
