In this paper, a moving storm in the real watershed was simulated using a distributed model. Macks Creek Experimental Watershed in Idaho, USA was selected as a target watershed and the moving storm of August 23, 1965, which continued from 3:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M., was utilized. The rainfall intensity of the moving storm in the watershed was temporally varied and the storm was continuously moved from one place to the other place in a watershed. Furthermore, runoff parameters, which are soil types, vegetative cover percentages, overland plane slopes, channel bed slopes and so on, are spatially varied. The model developed in the previous paper was utilized as a distributed model for simulating the moving storm. In the model, runoff in a watershed was simulated as two parts which are overland flow and channel flow parts. The good agreement was obtained between a simulated hydrograph using a distributed model and an observed hydrograph. Also, the conservations of mass are well indicated between upstream and downstream at channel junctions.

For efficient turbid water management a SWAT model was established for the Imha-Andong watershed where serious turbid water problems have frequently occurred. To evaluate soil loss combined with rainfall runoff process, the analysis focused on comparing the daily runoff discharge and concentration of suspended sediment (SS) using measured data sets. The results of annual SS load analysis for each sub-basin using the calibrated model showed that in the entire target watershed the soil loss ranged from 0.7 to 5.9 tons/ha in year 2005 and from 3.0 to 34.0 tons/ha in year 2003 when the typhoon 'Maemi' severly affected the area. In the future, it is suggest to increase model simulation accuracies supported by a long-term and extensive monitoring to enhance basin-wide suspended sediment estimation and management.

The growth conditions of planted trees, invasion of nuisance herbaceous species, competition between species, and effects of erosion control were monitored over five years in a riparian greenspace in Gapyeong County that was established through multilayered and grouped ecological planting. Of 156 trees planted in the upper and middle layers, 5.8% died. This tree death was attributed to poor drainage or aeration in the rooting zone from the clay-added root ball and too deep planting as well as a small-sized root ball and scanty fine roots. Of all the trees, 21.6% grew poorly due to transplant stress in the first year after planting, but they started to grow vigorously in the third year. This good growth was largely associated with soil improvement before planting, selection of appropriate tree species based on growth ground, and control of dryness and invasive climbing plants through surface mulching and multilayered/grouped planting. Mixed planting of fast-growing species as temporary trees was desirable for accelerating planting effect and increasing planting density. Thinning of fast-growing trees was required in the fifth year after planting to avoid considerable competition with target species. To reduce the invasion of herbaceous and climbing plants that oppress normal growth of planted trees, higher density planting of trees (crown opening of about 15%), woodchip mulching to a 10-cm depth, and edge planting 2 m wide were more effective than lower density planting (crown opening of 70%), no surface mulching, and no edge planting, respectively. This reduction effect was especially great during the first three years after planting. Nuisance herbaceous plants rarely invaded higher density planting with woodchip mulching over the five years. Higher density planting or woodchip mulching also showed much greater erosion control through rainfall interception and buffering than lower density planting with no mulching did. Based on these results, desirable planting and management strategies are suggested to improve the functions of riparian greenspaces.

Environmental impact assessment has been implemented for more than 30 years in Korea. During that period, various amendments were carried out about target plan and assessment factors. However, in current environmental impact assessment act, only a few factors has been considered for soil environment assessment. This study analyzes the national and foreign environmental impact assessment guidelines on soil related factors and figures out the problems and implications of Korean environmental impact assessment. In Korea, water quality, topography and geology, hydraulics and hydrology, and soil contamination were analyzed as a soil related factors. The main assessment targets were pollution related factors such as soil pollution levels, amount of rainfall runoff, and non-point sources. However, in the case of foreign guidelines, soil compaction, soil sealing, and soil salinization is being analyzed for evaluating function and quality of soil environment. The revision of soil-related factors are needed for sustainable development of Korea.

The purpose of this study were to evaluate the effect of best management practices (BMPs) of Haean highland agricultural catchment ($62.8km^2$) under future climate change using SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool). Before future evaluation, the SWAT was setup using 3 years (2009~2011) of observed daily streamflow, suspended solid (SS), total nitrogen (T-N), and total phosphorus (T-P) data at three locations of the catchment. The SWAT was calibrated with average 0.74 Nash and Sutcliffe model efficiency for streamflow, and 0.78, 0.63, and 0.79 determination coefficient ($R^2$) for SS, T-N, and T-P respectively. Under the HadGEM-RA RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios, the future precipitation and maximum temperature showed maximum increases of 8.3 % and $4.2^{\circ}C$ respectively based on the baseline (1981~2005). The future 2040s and 2080s hydrological components of evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and streamflow showed changes of +3.2~+17.2 %, -0.1~-0.7 %, and -9.1~+8.1 % respectively. The future stream water quality of suspended solid (SS), total nitrogen (T-N), and total phosphorus (T-P) showed changes of -5.8~+29.0 %, -4.5~+2.3 %, and +3.7~+17.4 % respectively. The future SS showed wide range according to streamflow from minus to plus range. We can infer that this was from the increase of long-term rainfall variability in 2040s less rainfalls and 2080s much rainfalls. However, the results showed that the T-P was the future target to manage stream water quality even in 2040s period.

A long-term study initiated in 1989 at San-born Field, Columbia, Missouri, was designed to evaluate the affect of environmental factors, nitrogen application, and crop rotation on soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) seed composition. Soybeans were grown as part of a four- year rotation which included corn (Zea maize L.), wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.). Results from soil tests made prior to initiation of the study and subsequently every five years, were used to calculate application rates of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium necessary for target yield of pursuant crops. In the experimental design, nitrogen was applied to one-half of the plot on which the non-leguminous crop, either corn or wheat was grown. Analysis of soybean seed by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy collected over an 11-year period revealed a linear increase in protein and decrease in oil content. Application of nitrogen fertilizer to non-leguminous crops did not have an apparent effect on total protein or oil content of subsequent soybean crop. Analysis of soybean seed proteins by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in conjunction with computer­assisted densitometry revealed subtle changes in the accumulation of seed proteins. Immunoblot analysis using antibodies raised against the $\beta-subunit$ of $\beta-conglycinin$ showed a gradual increase in the accumulation of the 7S components during successive years of the experiment. A linear increase in temperature and decrease in rainfall was observed from the onset of data· collection. Higher temperatures during the growing season have been linked to increased protein and diminished oil content of soybean, thus changes observed in this study are possibly related to climatic conditions. However, crop rotation and subsequent changes in soil ecology may contribute to these observed changes in the seed composition.

우리나라에서 발생하는 대규모 자연재해의 상당부분은 강우에 의한 홍수피해이다. 최근 이러한 홍수피해는 기후변화와 더불어 극한강우 현상의 빈발에 의한 새로운 재해양상으로 전개되고 있으며, 이에 따라 정부에서도 재해발생시 원상복구의 개념이 아닌 항구복구의 개념으로 복구사업을 수행하고 있다. 그러나 설계에 기후변화에 대한 영향을 반영하고 있지 못하기 때문에 기후변화에 의하여 미래에 발생할 극한강우로 반복적인 피해가 예상되고 있으므로 기존의 방재성능목표 강우량의 설정 방법에 대한 개선이 필요하다. 전 세계적으로 이러한 기후변화에 의한 현상을 모의하기 위한 연구로 전지구기후모델(Global Climate Model, 이하 GCM)과 지역기후모델(Reginal Climate Model, 이하 RCM)을 사용하고 있다.우리나라 기상청에서도 CMIP5 국제사업의 표준 실험체계를 통해 전지구 기후변화 시나리오 산출을 위해서 영국 기상청 해들리센터의 GCM인 HadGEM2-AO를 도입하였다. 또한 한반도 기후변화 시나리오를 산출하기 위해 HadGEM3-RA 모형을 이용하여 전지구 기후변화 시나리오를 역학적으로 상세화하고 이를 한반도에 대해 12.5km 공간 해상도로 일 자료를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 유역규모 혹은 지점규모에서 사용하기 위해서는 이러한 일자료의 시 공간적인 상세화기법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 기후변화를 고려한 방재성능목표 강우량 개선 방향을 제안하기 위해 다양한 연구단에서 도출된 상세화 결과를 수집하고 비교분석을 통해 기후변화를 고려하고자 하였다. 다양한 연구기관에서 생산된 미래 확률 전망을 살펴본 결과, 동일한 GCM자료를 사용하더라도 상세화 방법론에 따라 서로 다른 결과가 도출되는 것을 확인하였다. 미래 예측의 불확실성을 고려하면 특정한 방법론이 우수하다고 평가하기는 어려움에 따라 앙상블 평균을 활용한 개선방향을 제안한다. 본 연구의 결과는 전국 지자체의 강우특성만을 고려한 것으로, 연안지역의 경우 해수면 상승을 고려하여 추가적인 대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Global warming affects critical natural resources, one of which is the oceans that occupy 70% of the total cover of the earth. In other words, ocean warming is a subset of global warming which needs to be addressed urgently. Purple laver (pyropia spp.) is one of the most vulnerable items to climate change although it is a major export product of Korean fisheries. The purpose of this study is to analyze the causality of how climate change caused by global warming affects the increase or decrease of PLP (purple laver production). The target area for analysis was set to Maro-hae between Jindo-gun and Haenam-gun. We selected marine environmental factors and meteorologic factors that could affect PLP as variables, as well as co-integration tests to determine long-term balance, and the Granger causticity tests. As a result, PLP and marine environmental factors WT (water temperature), pH, and DO confirmed that long-term equilibrium relationships were established, respectively. However, there is only causality with WT and it is confirmed that there is only a correlation between pH and DO (dissolved oxygen). There was no long-term equilibrium relationship between PLP and HDD (heating degree days) and there is a causal effect that HDD affects PLP; however, it was less clear than that of WT. The relationship between PLP and RF (rainfall), WS (wind speed), SS (percentage of sunshine), and FF (farm facilities) was all balanced in the long term, and causality exists. Based on the results of the analysis, policy proposals were made.

The machine learning algorithm has been widely used in water-related fields such as water resources, water management, hydrology, atmospheric science, water quality, water level prediction, weather forecasting, water discharge prediction, water quality forecasting, etc. However, water quality prediction studies based on the machine learning algorithm are limited compared to other water-related applications because of the limited water quality data. Most of the previous water quality prediction studies have predicted monthly water quality, which is useful information but not enough from a practical aspect. In this study, we predicted the dissolved oxygen (DO) using recurrent neural network with long short-term memory model recurrent neural network long-short term memory (RNN-LSTM) algorithms with hourly- and daily-datasets. Bugok Bridge in Oncheoncheon, located in Busan, where the data was collected in real time, was selected as the target for the DO prediction. The 10-month (temperature, wind speed, and relative humidity) data were used as time prediction inputs, and the 5-year (temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and rainfall) data were used as the daily forecast inputs. Missing data were filled by linear interpolation. The prediction model was coded based on TensorFlow, an open-source library developed by Google. The performance of the RNN-LSTM algorithm for the hourly- or daily-based water quality prediction was tested and analyzed. Research results showed that the hourly data for the water quality is useful for machine learning, and the RNN-LSTM algorithm has potential to be used for hourly- or daily-based water quality forecasting.

오늘날 지구촌은 1880년 이후 지구온난화로 인해 빈번해진 이상기후로 평균기온이 약 0.85℃ 상승하였으며, 강우특성의 변화로 초과홍수가 빈번하게 발생하고 단기간의 집중호우 증가 및 강우일수가 감소하였다. 특히 우리나라는 홍수기(7월~9월)에 집중되었던 태풍 및 강우사상이 가을까지(2019년 11월 태풍 횟수 : 6회) 지속되고 있으며, 용수수요가 집중되는 관개기간에 기후변화 영향으로 무강우기간 동안 증발산량이 증가하여 이용 가능한 수자원량 감소가 심화되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 섬진강 유역의 갈수예보 활용지점인 곡성군(금곡교) 관측소의 실측된 수문자료를 바탕으로 유출검토를 실시하였고 취수시설물의 영향을 고려한 순유출률을 산정하였다. 5개년 유출특성을 분석한 결과 강수량 대비 년도별 유사한 순유출을 나타내는 반면에 손실량에서 큰 차이가 발생하였다. 특히 2018년의 경우 6월 말~7월 초에 발생한 약 300mm의 강우사상 이후 32일간의 무강우기간(평년 기준 : 18일)의 증발산량 영향으로 많은 손실량이 발생하였다. 이는 기후변화의 영향으로 일조시간, 평균기온, 무강우기간의 증가를 예견하고 있으며 강수량 뿐 아니라 기상조건이 유역 내 유출특성에 지배적인 영향을 미치는 것을 반증하고 있다. 본 연구에서 활용된 증발산량 산정공식 수정 Blaney-criddle Method는 평균기온, 일조시간을 활용한 잠재 증발산량 산정방법으로 정확한 유역 특성을 고려하지는 못하지만 연구결과에서 보여주듯이 한정된 기상자료를 통한 증발산량 산정방법으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 향후 다양한 증발산량 산정방법과 비교 및 증발산량 관측장비의 활용방안 검토를 통해 분석된 증발산량자료의 품질개선이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
