Mountain streams, which are major components of an entire river network, play an important role as the source of water, sediment, coarse and fine organic matter, and nutrients for lowland rivers. Therefore, dynamics and downstream linkages of each compartment of the mountain stream can be essential for watershed management in catchment scale. The dynamics and downstream linkages are understood as a development of step-pool sequences along a river course. Recently, stream restoration after flooding event often employ the development of step-pool sequences in the world. In this paper, we 1) examined the geomorphic characteristics and the role of step-pool sequences in steep mountain streams by reviewing the results of past studies, and 2) introduced the case studies of stream restoration using step-pool sequences, and finally 3) addressed design methods considering geometry and stability of artificial step-pool sequences for stream restoration. Step-pool sequences play an important role not only as roughness with energy dissipation but also as heterogeneity of stream feature for aquatic habitat. Step-pool sequences, even if they are constructed artificially along a stream, may be effective for small stream restoration considering eco-friendly torrent controls. So far the artificial step-pool sequences were employed for mountainous streams, but those would be applied to urban stream.

This study aims to analyze the influences of applications of two different evapotranspiration (ET) estimation methods on the irrigation water requirements (IWR) for paddy rice and water supply reliability of agricultural reservoirs. The modified Penman (MP), traditional method, and the Penman-Monteith (PM), the new adopted method, were applied on 149 reservoirs located in Honam province for this study. The weather date was used from 1987 to 2016, and analysed the trends of temperature and rainfall during rice growing season between past and current 10 years respectively. The increased average temperature and rainfall were observed from the current 10 years compared to the past years. This phenomena impacts on the results of ET and IWR estimations with decreased IWR obtained from high rainfall regions and increased ET obtained high temperature regions. For the comparisons of application results of two ET approaches, the PM method showed lower ET and IWR, and hence more reliable storage capacity of the reservoirs respect to water supply to paddy fields. The results also showed that the influences of different ET methods applications on the water supply reliability of reservoirs are negligible for the cases of over 3.7 watershed ratio and 670 mm unit reservoir storage, while significant variations of the results obtain from the applications between two ET approaches for the opposite cases. Further studies are necessary to consider various field conditions for practical applications of the PM method estimating ET in the fields of paddy farming.

In this study, the SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) of meteorological drought and SDI (Streamflow Drought Index) of hydrological drought for 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months duration were estimated to analyse the characteristics of drought using rainfall and dam inflow data for Chungju dam ($6,661.8km^2$) with 31 years (1986-2016) and Boryeong dam ($163.6km^2$) watershed with 19 years (1998-2016) respectively. Using the estimated SPI and SDI, the drought forecasting was conducted using seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (SARIMA) model for the 5 durations. For 2016 drought, the SARIMA had a good results for 3 and 6 months. For the 3 months SARIMA forecasting of SPI and SDI, the correlation coefficient of SPI3, SPI6, SPI12, SDI1, and SDI6 at Chungju Dam showed 0.960, 0.990, 0.999, 0.868, and 0.846, respectively. Also, for same duration forecasting of SPI and SDI at Boryeong Dam, the correlation coefficient of SPI3, SPI6, SDI3, SDI6, and SDI12 showed 0.999, 0.994, 0.999, 0.880, and 0.992, respectively. The SARIMA model showed the possibility to provide the future short-term SPI meteorological drought and the resulting SDI hydrological drought.

Optimized BMP plans for controlling water quality using the Pareto trade-off surface curve in upper basin of Namgang Dam is proposed. The proposed alternatives consist of BMP installation scenarios in which the reduction efficiency of non-point pollutants is maximized in a given budget. The multi-objective optimization process for determining the optimal alternatives was performed without direct implementation of a watershed model such as SWAT analysis, thereby reducing the time taken. The shortening of the calculation time further enhances the applicability of the multi-objective optimization technique in preparing regional water quality management alternatives. In this study, different types of BMP are applied depending on the land use conditions. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip are considered as alternatives to applying BMP to the field but only control of fertilizer input can be applied to rice paddies. Fertilizer input control and vegetative filter strip can be installed separately or simultaneously in a hydrologic response unit. Finally, 175 BMP application alternatives were developed for the water quality management of the upper river basin of Namgang dam. The proposed application alternative can be displayed on the map, which has the advantage of clearly defining the BMP installation location.

Chlorophyll-a is a major water quality indicator for an algal bloom in streams and lakes. The purpose of the study is to estimate chlorophyll-a concentration in tributaries of the Seonakdonggang by an artificial neural network (ANN). As the tributaries are ungauged streams, a watershed runoff and quality model was used to simulate water quality parameters. The tributary watersheds include urban area and thus Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) was used to simulate TN, TP, BOD, COD, and SS. SWMM, however, can not simulate chlorophyll-a. The chlorophyll-a series data from the tributaries were estimated by the ANN and the simulation results of water quality parameters using SWMM. An assumption used is as follows: the relation between water quality parameters and chlorophyll-a in the tributaries of the Seonakdonggang would be similar to that in the mainstream of the Seonakdonggang. On the assumption, the measurement data of water quality and chlorophyll-a in the mainstream of the Seonakdonggang were used as the learning data of the ANN. Through the sensitivity analysis, the learning data combination of water quality parameters was determined. Finally, chlorophyll-a series were estimated for tributaries of the Seonakdonggang by the ANN and TN, TP, BOD, COD, and temperature data from those streams. The relative errors between the estimated and measured chlorophyll-a were approximately 40 ~ 50%. Though the errors are somewhat large, the estimation process for chlorophyll-a may be useful in ungauged streams.

In this study, the evaluation standard for nitrate nitrogen contamination degree (WELCUP) was established using six factors that influence the groundwater quality in Jeju Island. To do this, weightings, ranges, and ratings were assigned for each factor and the relative possibility of nitrate nitrogen contamination degree was evaluated using WELCUP index for each well. As a result of calculating the WELCUP index using groundwater quality data of 5,112 wells in Jeju Island for 27 years (1993-2019), all 61 wells with the WELCUP index value higher than 100 are distributed in Daejung and Hangyung watershed with relatively large area of farmland in Jeju Island. In particular, as the ratio of private wells is more than 64%, it is necessary that systematic management is needed for private wells in terms of nitrate nitrogen contamination. Consequently, based on the results of applying the WELCUP evaluation standard, it is necessary to select the prioritization of nitrate nitrogen contamination pathways project for groundwater wells in Jeju Island.

A vegetative filter strip (VFS) is one of the best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loads. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of VFS in dense upland field areas. The study areas are agricultural fields in the Maedae (MD), Gaa (GA), and Jaun (JU) watersheds, where severe sediment yields have occurred and the Korean government has designated them as non-point management regions. The agricultural fields were divided into three or four clusters for each watershed based on their slope, slope length, and area (e.g., MD1, MD2). To assess the sediment trapping (STE) and pesticide reduction efficiency (PRE) of VFS, the Vegetative Filter Strip Modeling System (VFSMOD) was applied with three different scenarios (SC) (SC1: VFS with rye vegetation; SC2: VFS with rye vegetation and a gentle slope in VFS range; and SC3: VFS with grass mixture). For SC1, there were relatively short slope lengths and small areas in the MD1 and GA3 clusters, and they showed higher pollutant reduction (STE>50%, PRE>25%). For SC2 and SC3, all clusters in GA and some clusters (MD1 and MD3) in MD show higher pollutant reduction (>25%), while the uplands in JU still show a lower pollutant (<25%). With correlation analysis between geographic characteristics and VFS effectiveness slope and slope length showed relative higher correlations with the pollutant efficiency than a area. The results of this study implied that slope and slope length should be considered to find suitable upland conditions for VFS installations.

본 연구에서는 한강수계 팔당댐 상류의 자연유출량에 대해 기존의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 TANK 모형 결과와 SWAT 모형결과를 비교함으로써, 기존 TANK 모형이 가지고 있는 한계및 문제점을 현실적으로 제시하고, 향후 SWAT 모형의 적용성 및 활용에 대해 검토하였다. TANK 모형의 매개변수 최적화가 이루어진 보정유역들(충주댐 및 소양강댐)의 모의결과를 볼 때 두 모형 모두 모형효율 0.8 이상의 높은 정도의 모의가 가능한 것으로 나타났으며, 첨두유량이 발생하는 홍수기에는 TANK의 결과가 SWAT보다 관측치에 근접하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 TANK 모형의 경우 주로 평수기 이상의 유량을 대상으로 보정을 수행하여 갈수기에 관측유량과 많은 차이를 보였으며, 특히 일정 유량 이하로 모의되지 않는 한계를 나타내었다. 반면, SWAT 모형은 일부 홍수사상을 제외하고 대체로 관측치의 경향을 잘 따르고 있으며, 유역 최종 출구인 팔당댐(한강F)에서의 상류댐 방류량을 고려한 모의유입량이 실제 관측유입량과 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타나(모형효율 0.9 수준), 댐 방류량과 인위적인 용수 수요가 없는 상태의 자연유출량의 추정이나 댐개발 전후에 따른 유량변동 평가 등에 있어 매우 높은 신뢰성을 보장하는 것으로 판단되었다. 아울러, TANK 모형의 최적화된 매개변수를 전이시켜 이용하는 대상유역들(평창A, 달천B, 섬강B, 인북A, 한강D, 홍천A)에 대한 결과를 SWAT 모형 결과와 비교할 때, 일부 홍수기를 제외하고는 평수기 이하에서 매우 불안정한 모의 결과를 나타내었으며, 보정유역들에 대한 결과와 마찬가지로 갈수기에 일정 유량이하로 모의되지 않는 문제가 나타났다. 이는 수자원 계획 및 관리의중요한 지표인 갈수량의 산정에 있어 TANK 모형의 적용에 많은 불확실성이 있음을 보여준다. 따라서 복잡 다양한 국내 유역의 특성을 보다 현실적으로 반영하고, 향후 유역내 도시화 등에 따른 토지이용 및 용수이용의 변화, 기후변화 등에 따른 수자원 계획 및 관리에 효율적으로 대처하기 위해서는 TANK와 같은 기존의 개념적 집중형 모형보다는 SWAT과 같은 물리적 기반의 유역모형 적용이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

하천과 인접한 수변구역은 생태학적 중요성과 더불어 친수공간 제공 및 하천 수질 보호에 있어서 매우 높은 잠재적 가치를 가지고 있다. 본 연구는 경안천내 수변구역을 대상으로 경관 구조 지수를 정량적으로 분석하여 향후 수변구역 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 분석자료는 과거 1966년부터 2000년까지 36년간의 항공사진을 기하보정하여 수변구역의 토지이용현황에 대한 시계열 자료를 이용하였고, 분석도구는 ArcView의 Extension 모듈로 운영되는 FRAGSTATS를 이용하였다. 분석결과 토지이용변화는 농경지 지역은 감소하고 시가화 건조지역은 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 기타 토지이용은 미미한 변화를 나타내고 있다. 경관의 구조 지수 변화 분석 결과 경관규모에서는 NP는 1966년에 437개에서 2000년의 토지이용 패치 수(NP)가 695개로 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났고, 클래스 규모에서도 같은 결과를 나타내고 있어 인위적인 요인에 의한 토지이용변화가 큰 것으로 판단된다. MPS도 9.441에서 5.934로 작아지고 있어 이 지수 역시 토지이용이 많이 진행되고 있음을 나타내고 있다. 산림지역의 경우 감소하고 있는 추세이나 큰 변화는 없는 것으로 판단된다. 전체적인 지수분석 결과 패치 형태지수는 가장자리가 복잡해지고 있으며, 분산지수에서도 패치의 분산도가 커지는 것으로 나타나 토지이용이 변화되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이는 수질관리측면에서 수변구역의 주요 기능인 오염물질 차단기능을 약화시키는 결과를 초래할 수 있어 수변구역 관리에 더 많은 노력이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 향후 각 토지이용도별 각 패치의 분포 형태와 변화 양상 분석과 더불어 토양피복종류의 인접성 등을 고려한 수변구역 관리에 실질적인 자료를 제공할 수 있는 연구가 필요하다.
