This study aims to investigate stream drying phenomena and determine ecological flow in upper Jungnangcheon basin(118.2 km²) of Han River basin. Satellite imagery was used to compare historical and current land cover, and field surveys, including fish surveys, were conducted to assess stream drying conditions. Satellite image analysis revealed a significant increase in impervious surface area due to the expansion of residential and commercial areas. Streamflow and water quality measurements at Hannae Bridge in study area during the dry season showed and average minimum flow of 1.39 m³/sec and elevated SS levels, indicating poor water quality for T-P and TOC. The representative fish species in the study area was P.herzi. Optimal habitat suitability index for depth, velocity, and substrate were 0.3~0.5 m, 0.1~0.3 m/sec, and sand, respectively. Using PHABSIM, the ecological flow for the study area was estimated as 1.00 m³/sec. The derived ecological flow can be used as a reference flow for stream drying mitigation strategies.

The increase of the impermeable area due to industrialization and urban development distorts the hydrological circulation system and cause serious stream drying phenomena. In order to manage this, it is necessary to develop a technology for impact assessment of stream drying phenomena, which enables quantitative evaluation and prediction. In this study, the cause of streamflow reduction was assessed for dam and weir watersheds in the five major river basins of South Korea by using distributed hydrological model DrySAT-WFT (Drying Stream Assessment Tool and Water Flow Tracking) and GIS time series data. For the modeling, the 5 influencing factors of stream drying phenomena (soil erosion, forest growth, road-river disconnection, groundwater use, urban development) were selected and prepared as GIS-based time series spatial data from 1976 to 2015. The DrySAT-WFT was calibrated and validated from 2005 to 2015 at 8 multipurpose dam watershed (Chungju, Soyang, Andong, Imha, Hapcheon, Seomjin river, Juam, and Yongdam) and 4 gauging stations (Osucheon, Mihocheon, Maruek, and Chogang) respectively. The calibration results showed that the coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.76 in average (0.66 to 0.84) and the Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency was 0.62 in average (0.52 to 0.72). Based on the 2010s (2006~2015) weather condition for the whole period, the streamflow impact was estimated by applying GIS data for each decade (1980s: 1976~1985, 1990s: 1986~1995, 2000s: 1996~2005, 2010s: 2006~2015). The results showed that the 2010s averaged-wet streamflow (Q95) showed decrease of 4.1~6.3%, the 2010s averaged-normal streamflow (Q185) showed decreased of 6.7~9.1% and the 2010s averaged-drought streamflow (Q355) showed decrease of 8.4~10.4% compared to 1980s streamflows respectively on the whole. During 1975~2015, the increase of groundwater use covered 40.5% contribution and the next was forest growth with 29.0% contribution among the 5 influencing factors.

최근 중소규모 하천은 하천수 및 하천변 지하수 이용의 증가와 토지이용변화 등 유역 내 수문인자의 특성 변화로 인해 하천의 건천화가 점증하고 있어 하천 환경이 악화되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 격자기반의 분포형 장기수문 모델(PGA-CC)을 이용하여 과거 수십년동안 토지이용변화에 따른 하천 건천화 영향을 평가하였다. 실제 건천화가 진행되고 있는 삽교천 상류유역($358.8km^2$)을 선정하였고 토지이용변화분석을 위해 과거 1975년 토지이용도(Past), 현재 2008년 토지이용도(Present)를 구축하였다. 각각의 토지이용 항목 중 변화율이 가장 높은 도시비율은 과거 토지이용도에서는 2.6 %였으며 현재 토지이용도에서는 11.3 %로 8.7 %가 증가하였다. 모델 검보정은 최근 7년(2005-2011)동안 최종유역출구지점에서 유출 검보정을 실시하였다. 그 결과 NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency)은 평균 0.71로 유출량의 모의값과 실측값이 유효한 것으로 나타났다. 건천화를 평가하기 위해 시험유역에서의 5 WPs (Watching Points)를 선정하여 과거 및 현재 토지이용조건을 모의하고 유황분석을 통한 갈수 변화량 분석을 실시하였다. 건천화 빈도분석을 위해 GEV (Generalized Extreme Value) 갈수빈도분석을 실시하여 과거 토지이용 모의결과 산정된 평균 갈수량($m^3/s$) 이하로 낮아지는 유출량 일수를 계산하였다. 최종유역출구에서 과거 및 현재 토지이용도에서 모의된 평균갈수량은 각각 $3.27m^3/s$ 및 $3.11m^3/s$로 나타났다. GEV 갈수빈도분석결과 과거 토지이용조건에서의 평균갈수량은 $3.20m^3/s$(재현기간 2.33년)으로 나타났다. 도시증가에 따른 인구증가는 지하수 사용량에 증가를 가져온다. 이는, 건천화에 영향을 미치며 본 연구에서는 지하수이용량 자료(1998-2011)를 이용하여 도시면적과 지하수이용량의 선형회귀분석을 실시하여 과거 22년 지하수 사용량을 예측하였다. 그 결과 지하수사용량 증가는 토지이용변화와 복합적으로 상류유역에 하천의 변화를 가속시키는 것으로 나타냈다.
