With heavy rainfall due to extreme weather causing increasing damage, the importance of urban flood forecasting continues to grow. To forecast urban flooding accurately and promptly, a sewer network and surface grid with appropriate detail are necessary. However, for urban areas with complex storm sewer networks and terrain structures, high-resolution grids and detailed networks can significantly prolong the analysis. Therefore, determining an appropriate level of network simplification and a suitable surface grid resolution is essential to secure the golden time for urban flood forecasting. In this study, InfoWorks ICM, a software program capable of 1D-2D coupled simulation, was used to examine urban flood forecasting performance for storm sewer networks with various levels of simplification and different surface grid resolutions. The inundation depth, inundation area, and simulation time were analyzed for each simplification level. Based on the analysis, the simulation time was reduced by up to 65% upon simplifying the storm sewer networks and by up to 96% depending on the surface grid resolution; further, the inundation area was overestimated as the grid resolution increased. This study provides insights into optimizing the simplification level and surface grid resolution for storm sewer networks to ensure efficient and accurate urban flood forecasting.

Constructing a reliable runoff model and reducing model runtime are important in research of real-time urban flood forecasting to reduce the repetitive flood damage. Sewer networks in the major urban basin such as Seoul are vast and complex so that it is not suitable for real-time urban flood forecasting. Therefore, the rainfall-runoff model should be simplified. However, the runoff results due to the simplification of sewer networks can vary depending on the subjectivity and simplification method of the researcher and there is a significant difference especially in 2-D inundation analysis. In this study, the sewer networks in various urban basins with different numbers and distributions of sewer networks were simplified to certain criteria. The accuracy of the simplification model according to the sewer network scale is evaluated by 2-D inundation analysis. The runoff models of Gwanak, Sillim, and Dorimcheon, frequently inundated basins were simplified based on four simplification ranges due to the cumulative drainage area set as a criterion for calculating the simplification range. This study will be expected that the inundation result of simplification models estimated through the analysis can contribute to the construction of a reasonable and accurate runoff model suitable for real-time flood forecasting.

In urban areas, runoff flow is drained through sewer networks as well as surface areas. Therefore, it is very important to consider sewer networks as a component of hydrological drainage processes when conducting urban inundation modelling. However, most researchers who have implemented urban inundation/flood modelling, instinctively simplified the sewer networks without the appropriate criteria. In this research, a 1D-2D fully coupled urban inundation model is applied to estimate the influence of sewer network simplification on urban inundation modelling based on the dendritic network classification. The one-dimensional (1D) sewerage system analysis model, which was introduced by Lee et al. (2017), is used to simulate inlet and overflow phenomena by interacting with surface flow. Two-dimensional (2D) unstructured meshes are also applied to simulate surface flow and are combined with the 1D sewerage analysis model. Sewer network pipes are simplified based on the dendritic network classification method, namely the second and third order, and all cases of pipes are conducted as a control group. Each classified network case, including a control group, is evaluated through their application to the 27 July 2011 extreme rainfall event, which caused severe inundation damages in the Sadang area in Seoul, South Korea. All cases are compared together regarding inundation area, inflow discharge and overflow discharge. Finally, relevant criterion for the simplification method is recommended.

Geographic information system (GIS) sewer network data are a fundamental input material for urban inundation modeling, which is important to reduce the increasing damages from urban inundation due to climate change. However, the essential attributes of the data built by a local government are often missing because the purpose of building the data is the maintenance of the sewer system. Inconsistent simplification and supplementation of the sewer network data made by individual researchers may increase the uncertainty of flood simulations and influence the inundation analysis results. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a basic algorithm to convert the GIS-based sewage network data into input data that can be used for inundation simulations in consistent way. In this study, the format of GIS-based sewer network data for a watershed near the Sadang Station in Seoul and the Oncheon River Basin in Busan was investigated, and a missing data supplementing algorithm was developed. The missing data such as diameter, location, elevation of pipes and manholes were assumed following a consistent rule, which was developed referring to government documents, previous studies, and average data. The developed algorithm will contribute to minimizing the uncertainty of sewer network data in an urban inundation analysis by excluding the subjective judgment of individual researchers.

The rainfall-runoff model made of sewer networks in the urban area is vast and complex, making it unsuitable for real-time urban flood forecasting. Therefore, the rainfall-runoff model is constructed and simplified using the sewer network of Daerim baisn. The network simplification process was composed of 5 steps based on cumulative drainage area and all parameters of SWMM were calculated using weighted area. Also, in order to estimate the optimal simplification range of the sewage network, runoff and flood analysis was carried out by 5 simplification ranges. As a result, the number of nodes, conduits and the simulation time were constantly reduced to 50~90% according to the simplification ranges. The runoff results of simplified models show the same result before the simplification. In the 2D flood analysis, as the simplification range increases by cumulative drainage area, the number of overflow nodes significantly decreased and the positions were changed, but similar flooding pattern was appeared. However, in the case of more than 6 ha cumulative drainage area, some inundation areas could not be occurred because of deleted nodes from upstream. As a result of comparing flood area and flood depth, it was analyzed that the flood result based on simplification range of 1 ha cumulative drainage area is most similar to the analysis result before simplification. It is expected that this study can be used as reliable data suitable for real-time urban flood forecasting by simplifying sewer network considering SWMM parameters.

Simplified sewer networks have been used to simulate runoff hydrographs for urban watersheds since configurations of sewer networks in urban area are commonly so complex that it is too cumbersome to simulate them as what they are. If they were to be simulated without any simplification, it is not likely that satisfactory results are obtained due to accumulation of numerous little errors. Even for the well-known models widely used in everyday practicesit is not appropriate to simulate everything in the watershed as what they are. In resolving these problems, it is common practice to simplify network configurations so as to be fitted to the models for runoff hydrograph simulation. In case of netwrok simplication, hydraulic and hydrologic characteristics of the watersheds should be carefully taken into consideration to derive meaningful results. On the bases of these considerations, this study analyzes simulation outputs using simplified networks and compares them, as well as inestigates the methods to make hydraulically sound simplification of sewer networks.

Recently, due to the rapid industrialization and urbanization, a great number of infrastructure and population were concentrated in urban areas. These changes have resulted in unprecedent runoff characteristics in urban basins, and the increase in impermeable areas leads to the growth of the runoff and the peak flow rate. Although many cities have made a lot of efforts to check and expand the stormwater network, the flash flood or the local torrential rain caused a growing number of casualty and property damage. This study analyzed the stormwater passage rate in a target area using SWMM. By incorporating the flow quantity surpassing the storm sewer capacity, a 2D inland flooding analysis model was applied to route the inundated area and velocity.

서울과 같은 주요 도시지역의 하수관망은 그 규모와 구성이 크고 복잡하여 강우유출모형을 구축하는데 많은 어려움이 발생한다. 또한 많은 연구자들이 직관적으로 관망을 구축하고 단순화하고 있으며, 실무에서는 일정기준 이하의 관망을 일괄적으로 삭제하는 등의 간단한 하수관망 단순화 방법을 사용하여 강우-유출 모형을 구축하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 서울시의 주요 상습침수 구역인 도림천 유역을 대상으로 전체 하수관망을 구축하고 대상유역의 누가유역면적을 기준으로 모형을 단순화하는 단순화기법과 일정 관경 이하의 하수관을 일괄적으로 삭제하는 단순화방안을 2차원 침수분석 결과를 통해 비교하여 적절한 하수관망 단순화 방안을 찾아보고자 하였다. 각각의 하수관망 단순화 기법을 통해 3가지 규모로 나누어 모형을 단순화 하였으며 도림천 일대에 많은 침수 피해를 발생시킨 2010년 9월 21일 강우사상을 적용하여 각각의 2차원 침수결과를 침수흔적도와 비교하여 규모별 단순화 방안의 적정성을 분석하였다.

홍수예 경보를 통해 도시하천에서 발생되는 내수침수피해를 예방하기 위해서는 공간데이터를 활용한 침수위험지역을 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 특히 강우 유출 모형을 사용하여 수문분석을 진행할 때에는 정확도와 신뢰도 높은 모형을 구축하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그러나 대부분의 도시유역에서는 관망의 개수가 많고 구축된 SWMM 관망의 매개변수 추정을 위한 반복적인 계산으로 분석 런타임이 길어져 연구에 많은 어려움이 나타난다. 게다가 연구자의 주관에 따라 간소화된 하수관망의 유출분석 결과가 상이하게 나타나는 등 하수관망 간소화 분석에 대한 체계적인 연구가 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 이를 보완하기 위하여 상대적으로 도시화가 많이 진행된 서울시의 하천유역 중에서 상습침수로 많은 주목을 받고 있는 도림천 유역의 관망에 대해 누가유역면적을 바탕으로 관망의 간소화를 진행하였다. 이를 통해 관망 간소화에 따른 영향을 분석하고, 간소화별 case를 3가지로 나누어 분석하였다. 뿐만 아니라 누가유역면적에 따른 간소화 별 case를 Tuflow를 사용하여 2차원 분석을 진행하여 간소화에 따른 침수량 차이를 나타내어 최적의 간소화 방안을 제시하였다. 이는 보다 신속하고 신뢰도 높은 모형 구축에 크게 기여될 것으로 판단된다.

서울특별시를 비롯한 주요 도시지역의 하수관망은 그 개수는 많고 복잡하여 실시간 도시홍수예보에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 전체 하수관망을 사용하여 구축한 강우-유출모형에 단순화를 실시하여 분석하지만 연구자의 주관과 단순화 방식에 따라 유출결과가 크게 달라지며 정확한 단순화 범위에 대한 가이드라인이 제시되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하수관망의 개수 및 분포가 각각 다른 여러 도시지역의 하수관망을 일정기준으로 단순화하여 유출, 침수분석을 통한 단순화 적정성을 판단하고 도시지역의 획일적인 하수관망 단순화 가이드라인을 산정하고자 한다. 분석대상지역은 문래, 구로, 도림천 유역으로, 각 유역을 대상으로 구축한 강우-유출모형의 관망개수는 각각 2000, 10000, 40000여개이다. 하수관망 단순화는 SWMM에서 노드의 누가유역면적을 단순화의 범위 산정을 위한 기준으로 설정하였으며 총 5가지 범위의 누가유역면적을 기준으로 단순화하였다. 이를 통해 산정된 획일적인 단순화의 범위는 실시간 도수홍수예보에 적합한 합리적이고 정확도 높은 유출모형 구축에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
