Agriculture is affected directly by climate conditions and changes, and it is necessary to understand the impact of climate change on agricultural reservoirs which are the main water resources for paddy fields in Korea. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of climate change on the anti-drought capacity including water supply capability (WSC) and drought response ability (DRA) of agricultural reservoirs based on RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios of CanESM2 (The Second Generation Earth System Model) provided by CCCma (Canadian Center for Climate Modeling and Analysis). The WSC and DRA were estimated using frequency analysis and runs theory. The six reservoirs (Yooshin, Nogok, Kumsung, Songgok, Gapyung, Seoma) were selected considering geographical characteristics and design criteria of reservoir capacity. In case of Seoma reservoir, more than 10 year drought return period (DRP), the variation of the WSC was estimated larger than the others. In case of Yooshin reservior (2~5 DRP) DRC was decreased in 2025s under RCP8.5. These results could be utilized for agricultural reservoirs management and future design criteria considering climate change impacts on paddy irrigation.

최근의 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 인하여 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 극한 사상의 발생 빈도가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 가뭄은 장기간에 걸쳐 피해를 유발시키는 대표적인 자연재해 중의 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 가뭄의 크기와 정도를 정량화 할 수 있는 가뭄빈도해석을 수행하였다. 가뭄빈도해석을 위하여 우리나라의 61개 지점을 대상으로 EDI 가뭄지수를 산정하였다. 일별로 산정된 EDI 지수를 이용하여 연도별로 최저값을 추출하였다. 추출된 EDI 자료를 이용하여 빈도해석을 수행하였다. 빈도해석은 복합 확률 분포형 등의 장점을 갖고 있는 경계핵밀도함수를 이용하여 수행하였다. 분석 결과에서 재현기간 5년 내지 10년에서 극단적으로 건조함을 나타내는 가뭄지수인 -2.0 이하의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 가뭄은 평균적으로 재현기간 5년에서 10년 사이에 반복적으로 발생할 수 있다. 그러므로 가뭄에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 시스템의 구축과 가뭄피해를 최소화 할 수 있도록 해야 한다.

Recently, the frequency and intensity of drought have been increasing due to the sudden abnormal climate in Korea. The occurrence of agricultural drought has been steadily increasing from 5 times in the 1980s to 2000s in 20 years, 6 times in the 10 years from 2000 to 2010, and 4 times in the recent period from 2011 to 2015. Therefore, this study analyzed the effect of water shortage caused by drought by improving the function of agricultural reservoir. The target area analyzed the data such as "Comprehensive Information System for Rural Water" operated by Korea Rural Community Corporation. As a result, we selected the target area as Wanju - gun, Jeollabuk - do in consideration of the rate of water storage compared with the normal 25 years, the completion year of the facility, the area of coverage per reservoir site and the low capacity. As a result of evaluating the improvement effect of agricultural facilities, it was analyzed that the irrigation area increased by about 25.7% when the water level was increased by 1m and the irrigation area increased by about 51.3% when the water level was increased by 2m. The results of the drought impact assessment after improving the function of the agricultural facilities were analyzed that it was effective to improve the function after more than 4m depth.

Drought is a non-negligible disaster of nature and it is mainly caused by rainfall shortage for a long time though there are many definitions of drought. 'Standard Precipitation Index' (SPI) that is widely used to express the level of meteorological drought intensity has a limit of not being able to consider the hydrological changes such as rainfall and evapotranspiration caused by climate change, because it does not consider the temperature-related variables other than the precipitation. Recently, however, 'Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index' (SPEI), a drought index of new concept which is similar to SPI but can reflect the effect of temperature variability as well as the rainfall change caused by climate variation, was developed. In this study, the changes of drought occurrence in South Korea were analyzed by applying SPEI for meteorological data (1973~2011) of 60 climate observatories under Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). As the result of application, both of SPI and SPEI showed the trend of deepening drought in spring and winter and mitigating drought in summer for the entire nation, with SPI showing greater drought intensity than SPI. Also, SPI and SPEI with 12 months of duration showed that severe droughts with low frequency of around 6 years are generally being repeated.

Drought, which has been increasing in frequency and magnitude due to recent abnormal weather events, poses severe challenges in various sectors. To address this issue, it is important to develop technologies for drought monitoring, forecasting, and response in order to implement effective measures and safeguard the ecological health of aquatic systems during water scarcity caused by drought. This study aimed to predict water quality fluctuations during drought periods by integrating the watershed model HSPF and the water quality model QUAL-MEV. The researchers examined the SPI and RCP 4.5 scenarios, and analyzed water quality changes based on flow rates by simulating them using the HSPF and QUAL-MEV models. The study found a strong correlation between water flow and water quality during the low flow. However, the relationship between precipitation and water quality was deemed insignificant. Moreover, the flow rate and SPI6 exhibited different trends. It was observed that the relationship with the mid- to long-term drought index was not significant when predicting changes in water quality influenced by drought. Therefore, to accurately assess the impact of drought on water quality, it is necessary to employ a short-term drought index and develop an evaluation method that considers fluctuations in flow.

최근 들어, 지구온난화에 따른 기후변화로 인해 홍수와 가뭄 등과 같은 자연재해가 과거에 비해 빈번히 발생되고 있으며 그로인한 수많은 인명 및 재산피해가 나타나고 있다. 특히, 가뭄의 경우 홍수 등 여타의 수문학적 재해에 비해 서서히 장기간에 걸쳐 피해를 유발하고 있는데 미국해양기상청(NOAA)에서 선정한 20세기 최대의 자연재해 중 상위 5위안에 4개의 가뭄이 기록될 정도로 그 피해가 심각한 것으로 나타나고 있다. 우리나라 역시 5년에 한번 꼴로 심한가뭄이 발생하는 등 가뭄의 발생주기가 점차 짧아지고 있어 이에 대한 대비가 필요한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 가뭄지수를 이용한 통계학적 분석을 통해 과거가뭄사상을 정량적으로 평가하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 관측자료의 신뢰성이 확보되어 있는 기상청 산하 59개 기상관측소를 대상으로 하였으며 1976~2010년(35년)의 자료를 이용하여 SPI(6)를 산정하였다. 분석방법으로는 한반도 가뭄의 발생빈도를 추정하기 위하여 Drought Spell 분석을 실시하였으며 한반도를 대상으로 극심한 가뭄에 대한 가뭄우심지역을 평가하기 위하여 지속기간별 가뭄빈도해석을 통해 SDF 곡선을 작성하고 이를 이용하여 가뭄우심도(Drought Potential Hazard Map)를 작성하였다. 가뭄단계별 발생빈도를 분석한 결과, 금강, 낙동강, 섬진강유역에서 심한가뭄과 극한가뭄단계의 발생빈도가 높게 나타났으며 가뭄빈도해석을 통해 작성된 SDF 곡선에서도 한강유역에 위치한 서울관측소에 비해 금강, 낙동강, 섬진강 유역에 위치한 대전, 대구, 광주 관측소의 재현기간별 가뭄심도가 낮게 나타났다. 가뭄빈도해석을 통해 작성된 가뭄우심도에서는 한강 유역과 낙동강 유역의 상류에 비해 금강, 섬진강, 영산강 유역이 가뭄에 취약한 지역으로 분석되어 가뭄단계별 발생빈도와 유사한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한, 동일한 재현기간에서 지속기간이 길어질수록 가뭄의 심도가 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 유역별 가뭄심도를 비교한 결과에서는 재현기간 200년 빈도, 지속기간 3개월의 가뭄심도의 경우, 섬진강 유역(-2.89)에서 한강(-2.13), 낙동강(-2.72), 금강(-2.45), 영산강(-2.73)유역에 더욱 극심한 가뭄을 나타내고 있었으며 지속기간 6개월의 가뭄심도에서도 동일한 결과를 나타내었다.

An experimental watershed was selected and sustainable yield was evaluated. The study area(3.89$\textrm{km}^2$) was located in Kyungpook Sangju Yangchon-dong. The visual MODFLOW was verified by comparing the observed and estimated groundwater table. The analysis of the observed and estimated groundwater table from 19 March 2003 to 18 March 2004 showed that the average error was 0.0009m, the error sum of squares 7.245$m^2$, absolute mean error 0.094 m, root mean square error 0.141m, and the model efficiency was 92%. The normal, 10- and 30- year drought frequency years were selected and sustainable yield was evaluated in these periods. Ratios of sustainable yield to the annual infiltration were 14.5% for the normal year(1992), 15.1% for the 10-year(1994), and 15.2% for the 30-year drought frequency year(1982). The results of this study can be used as a basic information for groundwater development and management planning considering regional characteristics.
