This study presents a regional, probabilistic framework for estimating streamflow via spatial scaling in the Great Lakes basin, which is the largest lake system in the world. The framework follows a two-fold strategy including (1) a quadratic-programming based optimization model a priori to explore the model structure, and (2) a time-varying hierarchical Bayesian model based on insights found in the optimization model. The proposed model is developed to explore three innovations in hierarchical modeling for reconstructing historical streamflow at ungaged sites: (1) information of physical characteristics is utilized in spatial scaling, (2) a time-varying approach is introduced based on climate information, and (3) heteroscedasticity in residual errors is considered to improve streamflow predictive distributions. The proposed model is developed and calibrated in a hierarchical Bayesian framework to pool regional information across sites and enhance regionalization skill. The model is validated in a cross-validation framework along with four simpler nested formulations and the optimization model to confirm specific hypotheses embedded in the full model structure. The nested models assume a similar hierarchical Bayesian structure to our proposed model with their own set of simplifications and omissions. Results suggest that each of three innovations improve historical out-of-sample streamflow reconstructions although these improvements vary corrsponding to each innovation. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of possible model improvements considered by additional model structure and covariates.

수문순환 과정 중 일부인 유출량을 산정하기 위해서는 지형학적 변수, 강우량, 토양수분, 증발산량 등의 인자들이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 미계측 지역의 유출량 산정을 위한 주요 인자인 토양수분과 증발산량을 지표면 모델을 통해 산출하고자 한다. 사용한 시스템은 미국 NASA에서 개발한 LIS(Land Information System) 프레임워크이며 LIS에 적용된 지표면 모델 중 Noah-MP을 초기 매개변수로 사용하였다. 입력 자료는 전지구 범위로 제공되는 자료를 사용하여 남한 지역을 대상으로 토양수분 및 증발산량을 산출하고 지상 관측 자료, 원격탐사 기반의 토양수분과 증발산량을 통해 정확도를 평가하였고 ASOS 관측 자료를 내삽하여 산출된 토양수분 및 증발산량의 정확도도 평가하였다. 남한 지역을 대상으로 정확도를 평가한 후 대표표적 미계측 지역인 북한을 대상으로 토양수분 및 증발산량을 산출하였다. LIS의 Noah-MP 지표면 모델로 토양수분 및 증발산량을 산출한 결과 ASOS를 내삽하여 산출한 결과가 설마천의 경우 정확도는 오히려 낮아졌고 청미천, 서산의 정확도는 높아졌다. 이는 초기 매개변수 설정을 이용한 것과 전지구 범위의 자료를 사용하여 토양수분 및 증발산량을 산출하여 발생된 오차이며 매개변수 최적화 및 고해상도의 입력자료를 사용하면 보다 높은 정확도를 확보할 수 있다. 이를 통해 미계측 지역에서도 충분히 활용 가능한 토양수분 및 증발산량을 산출하여 유출량을 산정할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

일반적으로 지역홍수빈도해석은 두가지 목적을 내포하고 있다. 첫 번째는 자료기간이 짧은 지점에 대하여 지역빈도해석을 통하여 보다 신뢰성있는 홍수빈도를 추정하기 위한 것이며, 두 번째는 지역화를 통한 미계측지점에서의 홍수빈도를 추정하기 위한 것이다. 자료샘플의 확충을 통한 신뢰성있는 홍수빈도를 추정하기 위한 연구는 국내에서도 활발히 연구가 진행되었으나. 미계측지점에서의 홍수빈도를 추정하기 위한 연구는 관측홍수량 자료 및 지점수의 부재로 미미한 실정이다. 또한, 지역화를 통한 미계측지점에서의 홍수빈도를 추정하기 위해 지역홍수빈도분석을 수행할 수 있는 관측홍수량 자료가 확보되었을 경우라 하더라도, 공간적으로 추가적인 지점의 자료가 확보될 경우, 지역화 결과의 민감도에 대한 연구는 전혀 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 충주댐 상류유역의 22개 지점에 대한 모의홍수량 자료를 기반으로, 무작위로 분석지점을 선택하여 그에 따른 홍수빈도의 지역화 결과에 대한 변화를 고찰하고자 하였다. 이는 분석 유역의 지역홍수빈도분석을 수행하기에 적합한 홍수자료의 공간정보에 대한 의미를 정략적으로 파악할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study analyzed the spatial correlograms of minutely rainfall data with respect to various accumulation times. A bivariate mixed lognormal distribution was applied for rainfall modelling. A total of 26 minutely rainfall data sets from rain gauge stations in the central part of Korean peninsula were analyzed, also repeated for several storm types like Jang-Ma, typhoon and convective storms for their comparison. The accumulation times 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 30 and 60 minutes were considered in this study. As results, it was found that the minutely rainfall data available was not good enough for estimating minutely rainfall intensity at ungaged locations. It seems more practical to use the hourly rainfall data with much higher rain gauge density, if proper methods for interpolation and data dis-aggregation are provided.

In the present study, a methodology has been established for water budget analysis of a river basin for which monthyl rainfall and evaporation data are the only available hydrologic data. The monthly rainfall data were first converted into monthyl runoff data by an empirical formula from which long-term runoff data were generated by a stochastic generation mothod. Thomas-Fiering model. Based on the generated long-term data low flow frequency analysis was made for each of the oberved and generated data set, the low flow series of each data set being taken as the water supply for budget analysis. The water demands for various water utilization were projected according to the standard method and the net water consumption computed there of. With the runoff series of the driest year of each generated data set as an input water budget computation was made through the composite reservoirs comprised of small reserviors existing in the basin by deficit-supply method. The water deficit computed through the reservior operation study showed that the deficit radically increases as the return period of low flow becomes large. This indicates that the long-term runoff data generated by stochastic model are a necessity for a reliable water shortage forecasting to cope with the long-term water resourse planning of a river basin. F.E.M. program (ADINA) is also presented herein.

The historical data from 3, 550 event storms during 11 years in Wi-stream basin have been used to investigate the statistical parameter of the time distribution for design storms by the method of Yen-Chow, Huff, Pilgrim-Cordery and Mononobe. The dimensionless value of triangular hyetograph, $a^0$, ranges from 0.44 to 0.50 and trapezoidal hyetograph, $h^0$, value increases as the duration time is getting longer in Yen-Chow method. In the Huff, the second-quartile storms occurred most frequently and third-quartile storms occurred most infrequently. In the Pilgrim-Cordery, the shapes for shorter than 6-hour durations are advanced tendency. However, for longer than 6-hour durations show delayed tendency. In the Mononobe, every one hour rainfall occured Centered Type. The application of these methods for each duration time was tested by using the observed rainfall-runoff data of Wi-stream basin. As a result, the reappearance of hydrographs of triangular hyetograph by Yen-Chow method showed promising, and it was approved to be used for prediction of the ungaged basins.

This study is on the application of TOPMODEL-topographic based hydrologic model-to the runoff analysis, The test area was the ssang-chi watershed which is mountainous catchment located in the upstream of the sumjin-gang basin and the watershed area is $126.7km^2$. The six's hourly runoff and precipitation data was selected in the 2006 ~ 2009 year. And the model parameters are calibrated using observed runoff data by Pattern Search method. The topographic index of the ssang-chi catchment was produced by digital elevation model(DEM) of 100m grid. As a results of the analysis, the parameters of model, a decay facter(m), transmissivity(T0), and the unsaturated zone delay(TD) are sensible to hydrologic response, and the simulated runoff data are in good agreement with observed runoff data.

The series of the papers consist of three parts to describe the development, calibration, and applications of the flood forecasting models for the Youngsan Estuarine Dam located at the mouth of the Youngsan river. And this paper discusses the hydrologic model for inflow simulation at Naju station, which constitutes 64 percent of the drainage basin of 3521 .6km$^2$ in area. A simplified TANK model was formulated to simulate hourly runoff from rainfall And the model parameters were optirnized using historical storm data, and validated with the records. The results of this paper were summarized as follows. 1. The simplified TANK model was formulated to conceptualize the hourly rainfall-run-off relationships at a watershed with four tanks in series having five runoff outlets. The runoff from each outlet was assumed to be proportional to the storage exceeding a threshold value. And each tank was linked with a drainage hole from the upper one. 2. Fifteen storm events from four year records from 1984 to 1987 were selected for this study. They varied from 81 to 289rn'm The watershed averaged, hourly rainfall data were determined from those at fifteen raingaging stations using a Thiessen method. Some missing and unrealistic records at a few stations were estimated or replaced with the values determined using a reciprocal distance square method from abjacent ones. 3. An univariate scheme was adopted to calibrate the model parameters using historical records. Some of the calibrated parameters were statistically related to antecedent precipitation. And the model simulated the streamflow close to the observed, with the mean coefficient of determination of 0.94 for all storm events. 4. The simulated streamflow were in good agreement with the historical records for ungaged condition simulation runs. The mean coefficient of determination for the runs was 0.93, nearly the same as calibration runs. This may indicates that the model performs very well in flood forecasting situations for the watershed.

Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely used in estimation of flow and water quality at various watersheds worldwide, and it has an auto-calibration tool that could calibrate the flow and water quality data automatically from thousands of simulations. However, only continuous measured day flow/water quality data could be used in the current SWAT auto-calibration tool. Therefore, 8-day interval flow and water quality data measured nationwide by Korean Ministry of Environment (MOE) could not be used in SWAT auto-calibration even though long-term flow and water quality data in the Korean Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) watersheds available. In this study, current SWAT auto-calibration was modified to calibrate flow and water quality using 8-day interval flow and water quality data. As a result of this study, the Nash and Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) values for flow estimation using auto-calibration are 0.77 (calibration period) and 0.68 (validation period), and NSE value for water quality (T-P load) estimation (using the 8-day interval water quality data) is 0.80. The enhanced SWAT auto-calibration could be used in the estimation of continuous flow and water quality data at the outlet of TMDL watersheds and ungaged point of watersheds. In the next study, the enhanced SWAT auto-calibration will be integrated with Web based Load Duration Curve (LDC) system, and it could be suggested as methods of appraisal of TMDL in South Korea.

Generally, the synthetic unit hydrograph method is presented to estimate the design flood in the ungaged watershed. However, due to the lack of rainfall-runoff data, the models developed in other countries such as U.S.A. and Japan have been widely used in Korea. Therefore, it may be essential to develope the rainfall-runoff model suitable for the hydrological char-acteristics in Korea. In this study, the representative unit hydrographs are derived from rainfall-runoff data at 19 basins in Selma-Cheon and 3-IHP experimental watersheds using ridge-regression method and Nash model. And a new synthetic unit hydrograph for Korea is suggested by integrating the described results and previous studies on unit hydrograph. The newly developed method is represented as two regression forms with three independent variables of watershed area, channel length, and channel slope by multiple regression analysis is carried out for each watershed, the coefficients of determination are not improved in all cases compared out for each watershed, the coefficients of determination are not improved n all cased the synthetic unit hydrograph for each watershed. Therefore, when the new method is applied to some watersheds, the result analyzed for all data has to be used.
