The objective of this study is the quantitative analysis of climate change effects by performing several statistical analyses with hydrometeorological data sets for past 30 years in Geum river watershed. Temperature, precipitation, relative humidity data sets were collected from eight observation stations for 37 years(1973~2009) in Geum river watershed. River level data was collected from Gongju and Gyuam gauge stations for 36 years(1973~2008) considering rating curve credibility problems and future long-term runoff modeling. Annual and seasonal year-to-year variation of hydrometeorological components were analyzed by calculating the average, standard deviation, skewness, and coefficient of variation. The results show precipitation has the strongest variability. Run test, Turning point test, and Anderson Exact test were performed to check if there is randomness in the data sets. Temperature and precipitation data have randomness and relative humidity and river level data have regularity. Groundwater level data has both aspects(randomness and regularity). Linear regression and Mann-Kendal test were performed for trend test. Temperature is increasing yearly and seasonally and precipitation is increasing in summer. Relative humidity is obviously decreasing. The results of this study can be used for the evaluation of the effects of climate change on water resources and the establishment of future water resources management technique development plan.

When a circular vertical shaft is constructed below the groundwater level, additional forces caused by groundwater flow besides horizontal effective stresses will act on the wall. The inward direction of the groundwater flow will be inclined to the vertical wall and its direction will change depending on the wall depth. In this paper, to figure out the effect of seepage forces acting on the circular vertical shaft, the slope of the inclined flow varying with the depth is divided into vertical and horizontal components to derive the coefficient of earth pressure considering the seepage pressure and to obtain the vertical stress by taking the seepage pressure into account. The control volume in this study is assumed to be the same with that of the dry ground condition within which the earth pressure is acting on the wall by the creation of the plastic zone during shaft excavation. An example study shows that the vertical stress increases by about 1.4 times and the horizontal earth pressure increases up to 2.5 times compared to the dry ground condition. The estimated values from the proposed equation considering seepage forces and the calculated values from numerical analysis with "effective stress plus seepage force" show similar values, which verifies appropriateness of the proposed equation to estimate the earth pressure under the seepage condition.

The risk of flooding and groundwater depletion is increasing due to the increase of impervious area in an urban area that reduces the volume of infiltration and increases the outflow of rainwater. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of installation of roadside tree protectors with infiltration pipes in terms of the change of the infiltration rate. Through this study, it has been attested that roadside tree protectors with infiltration pipes increased the infiltration rate and decreased water level on the ground, and could be applied in an urban area as the low impact development (LID) facilities.

강우의 시 공간적 불균형이 심한 우리나라는 수자원 확보 및 관리가 어려움에 따라 신규 수자원 확보와 기존 수자원 관리의 중요성에 대한 인식이 높아지고 있다. 최근 대체수자원으로서 대두되고 있는 지하수는 지표수에 비해 이용지점에서 바로 취수하여 사용이 가능하다는 장점이 있으나, 오염이 진행되면 복구에 상당한 기간과 비용이 소요됨에 따라 철저한 관리가 필요하다. 특히 해안지역 수자원의 경우, 내륙지역에 비해 하천이 발달해 있지 않아 지하수에 대한 높은 의존도에 따른 수량적 문제와 해수와 접해있는 면적이 많음에 따라 지하수와 해수간의 유동으로 인한 수질적 문제로 지하수 관리가 더욱 어렵다. 이에 본 연구는 지하수유동해석프로그램인 Visual MODFLOW의 SEAWAT model을 이용하여 지하수위 변화에 따른 해수침투의 영향을 판단하고자 하였다. 연구지역은 태안지역의 근흥1, 근흥2 관측소의 지하수위 데이터를 사용하였으며, 2008 ~ 2014년 까지 매년 지하수위 변동에 따라 해수침투 영향을 분석하였다. 이와 함께 해수침투 영향 판단 인자인 EC, TDS는 각 관측소 데이터를 통한 환산 및 분석 진행하고, $Cl/HCO_3$ 몰비는 참고문헌을 인용하여 모델링에 의한 해수침투 영향과 관측자료 및 이온분석을 통한 영향을 비교하였다.

Recently, spillways are need to control stable water level for supporting main dams because of floods by unusual change of weather such as Typhoon Rusa. This study has been focused on the amount of leakage through the rock mass distributed fractures and joints under the opened emergency spillway. It is very important to evaluate the amount of leakage as these affect stability of spillway by interaction between effective stress and pore pressure. The commercial program MAFIC has been used for analyzing groundwater flow in fractured rock mass. The results showed that the values of range, average and deviation of leakage were 2.85∼3.79×10-1, 3.32×10-1 and 1.70×10-2 m3/day/m2 respectively. Secondary, we have estimated the effect of grouting after the transmissivity(Tf) of joint 1 as main pathway of leakage known from above results was changed from 1.78×10-7 to 1.59×10-9 m2/s. The results showed that the values of range, average and deviation of leakage were 7.80×10-4∼1.53×10-3, 1.18×10-3 and 1.32×10-4 m3/day/m2 respectively. As the result, the amount of leakage after grouting has been decreased by a ratio of 1 to 277.

지하수는 담수-염수 경계면의 형성 및 변동 특성, 지하수위 분포 및 변동특성에 따라 기저지하수, 준기저지하수, 상위지하수 등으로 구분된다. 이 중, 기저지하수는 담수(1,000g/cm³)와 염수(1,025g/cm³)의 비중 차이에 의해 담수가 염수 상부에 Ghyben-Herzberg 원리에 의해 부존한다. 본 연구에서는 부존 형태에 따른 지하수위 변동을 보고자 하였다. 먼저 이상화된 지형에서 부존형태에 따른 지하수위 변동의 영향을 확인하고자, OpenGeoSys 모형을 이용하여 3차원 수치모의를 수행하였다. 그 결과 상위지하수의 지하수위보다 기저지하수 조건에서의 지하수위가 낮아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 부존 형태의 차이로 인해 발생되는 담수-염수 비중 차이가 지하수위 변동에 영향을 미친다는 것을 파악할 수 있었다. 또한, 실제 지형에 적용하여 지하수위의 변동성을 분석하기 위해서, 제주 남부 중서귀 유역을 대상으로 수치모의를 수행하였다. 모형 검증은 범위 내 4개의 관측지점에서의 2022년 지하수위 자료를 이용하였다. 검증된 모델에 염분 농도 조건을 추가하여 기저지하수를 형성하여 모의를 수행했다. 따라서 본 연구는 부존 형태의 차이로 인해 발생되는 담수-염수 비중 차이가 지하수위에 끼치는 영향을 파악할 수 있었다. 향후, 상위지하수에서 염수가 침입했을 때, 수위 저하에 따라 감소되는 지하수위량을 예측할 수 있을 것이라 기대된다.

최근의 기후변화는 이미 한반도에 평균온도의 상승과 강수량의 변화 등으로 인해 많은 수문기상학적 변화를 일으키고 있다. 낮은 빈도의 가뭄은 2~3년에 한번 꼴로 발생할 정도로 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 국지적인 폭우와 한반도에 영향을 미치는 태풍의 증가 등 이수와 치수측면에서의 강수의 변화는 예측하기에 어려운 정도로 그 변화의 속도가 빨라지고 있는 현실이다. 이에 수자원활용 측면에서도 기후변화를 고려하여 새롭게 평가하여야 한다. 특히나 낮은 빈도의 잦은 가뭄은 농업분야에서 용수를 공급하는 데 있어 여러 가지 문제점들을 발생시키고 농업용수 확보를 위한 대책이 필요하다. 대부분의 농업용수는 하천취수, 저수지, 지하수를 이용하고 있으며, 뚜렷한 용수원이 없는 농경지의 대부분은 지하수를 이용하는 것이 보통이다. 이러한 지하수는 물 순환 체계에서 강수에 의해 지하로 침투된 물이 토양간이나 지하대수층 등에 저류되어 지하수가 형성된다. 일반적으로 가뭄이 발생하면 우선적으로 선택되는 대책이 지하관정을 개발하여 활용하는 방안이 활용되고 있는 데 강수의 부족으로 인한 가뭄 발생시 지하수위는 어떻게 변화하는지에 대한 연구과 관측이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 강수자료와 지하수위 그리고 강수를 활용하는 가뭄지표인 표준강수지수(SPI) 등의 자료를 활용하여 가뭄발생과 지하수위의 변동성의 상관관계를 검토하였다.

Deep learning methods and their application have become an essential part of prediction and modeling in water-related research areas, including hydrological processes, climate change, etc. It is known that application of deep learning leads to high availability of data sources in hydrology, which shows its usefulness in analysis of precipitation, runoff, groundwater level, evapotranspiration, and so on. However, there is still a limitation on microclimate analysis and prediction with deep learning methods because of deficiency of gauge-based data and shortcomings of existing technologies. In this study, a real-time rainfall prediction model was developed from a sky image data set with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). These daily image data were collected at Chung-Ang University and Korea University. For high accuracy of the proposed model, it considers data classification, image processing, ratio adjustment of no-rain data. Rainfall prediction data were compared with minutely rainfall data at rain gauge stations close to image sensors. It indicates that the proposed model could offer an interpolation of current rainfall observation system and have large potential to fill an observation gap. Information from small-scaled areas leads to advance in accurate weather forecasting and hydrological modeling at a micro scale.

Bentonite is being considered as a candidate for buffer material in geological disposal systems for high-level radioactive wastes. In this study, the effect of cement-bentonite interactions on bentonite alteration was investigated by reviewing the literature on studies of cement-bentonite interactions. The major bentonite alteration by hyperalkaline fluids produced by the interaction of cementitious materials with groundwater includes cation exchange, montmorillonite dissolution, secondary mineral precipitation, and illitization. When the hyperalkaline leachate from the reaction of the cementitious material with the groundwater comes into contact with bentonite, montmorillonite, the main component of bentonite, is dissolved and a small amount of secondary minerals such as zeolite, calcium silicate hydrate, and calcite is produced. When montmorillonite is continuously dissolved, the physicochemical properties of bentonite may change, which may ultimately causes changes in bentonite performance as a buffer material such as adsorption capacity, swelling capacity, and hydraulic conductivity. In addition, the bentonite alteration is affected by various factors such as temperature, reaction period, pressure, composition of pore water, bentonite constituent minerals, chemical composition of montmorillonite, and types of interlayer cations. This study can be used as basic information for the long-term stability verification study of the buffer material in the geological disposal system for high-level radioactive wastes.

Water has always played a significant role in the lives of people. In urbanised Rome, with its million people. sophisticated supply systems developed and then fled with the empire. only to be rediscovered later But it was the industrial Revolution commencing in the eighteenth century that ushered in major paradigm shifts In use and altitudes towards water. Rapid and concentrated urbanisation brought problems of expanded demands for drinking supplies, waste management and disease. The strategy of using water from local streams, springs and village wells collapsed under the onslaughts of rising urban demands and pollution due to poor waste disposal practices. Expanding travel (railways. and steamships) aided the spread of disease. In England. public health crises peaks, related to water-borne typhoid and the three major cholera outbreaks occurred in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century respectively. Technological, engineering and institutional responses were successful in solving the public health problem. it is generally accepted that the putting of water into pipe networks both for a clean drinking supply, as well as using it as a transport medium for removal of human and other wastes, played a significant role in towering death rates due to waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid towards the end of the nineteenth century. Today, similar principles apply. A recent World Bank report Indicates that there can be upto 76％ reduction in illness when major water and sanitation improvements occur in developing countries. Water management, technology and thinking in Australia were relatively stable in the twentieth century up to the mid to late 1970s. Groundwater sources were investigated and developed for towns and agriculture. Dams were built, and pipe networks extended both for supply and waste water management. The management paradigms in Australia were essentially extensions of European strategies with the minor adaptions due to climate and hydrogeology. During the 1970s and 1980s in Australia, it was realised increasingly that a knowledge of groundwater and hydrogeological processes were critical to pollution prevention, the development of sound waste management and the problems of salinity. Many millions of dollars have been both saved and generated as a consequence. This is especially in relation to domestic waste management and the disposal of aluminium refinery waste in New South Wales. Major institutional changes in public sector water management are occurring in Australia. Upheveals and change have now reached ail states in Australia with various approaches being followed. Market thinking, corporatisation, privatisation, internationalisation, downsizing and environmental pressures are all playing their role in this paradigm shift. One casualty of this turmoil is the progressive erosion of the public sector skillbase and this may become a serious issue should a public health crisis occur such as a water borne disease. Such crises have arisen over recent times. A complete rethink of the urban water cycle is going on right now in Australia both at the State and Federal level. We are on the threshold of significant change in how we use and manage water, both as a supply and a waste transporter in Urban environments especially. Substantial replacement of the pipe system will be needed in 25 to 30 years time and this will cost billions of dollars. The competition for water between imgation needs and environmental requirements in Australia and overseas will continue to be an issue in rural areas. This will be especially heightened by the rising demand for irrigation produced food as the world's population grows. Rapid urbanisation and industrialisation in the emerging S.E Asian countries are currently producing considerable demands for water management skills and Infrastructure development. This trend e expected to grow. There are also severe water shortages in the Middle East to such an extent that wars may be fought over water issues. Environmental public health crises and shortages will help drive the trends.
