The objective of this study is to examine the effect of hydrological factors on critical durations, and to analyze the relationship between the watershed characteristics and the critical duration of design rainfall in the medium sized catchments. Hydrological factors are used to return period, probable intensity formula, hydrograph method, effective rainfall and temporal pattern of design rainfall. Hydrologic analysis has done over the 44 medium sized catchments with $50{\sim}5,000{\beta}{\yen}$. Watershed characteristics such as catchment area, channel length, channel slope, catchment slope, time to peak, concentration of time and curve number were used to simulate correlation analysis. All of hydrological factors except return period influence to the critical duration of design rainfall. Also, it is revealed that critical duration is influenced by the watershed characteristics such as area, channel length, channel slope and catchment slope. Multiple regression analysis using watershed characteristics is carried out for the estimation of relationship among these. And the 7 type equations are proposed by the multiple regression using watershed characteristics and critical duration of design rainfall. The determination coefficient of multiple regression equations shows $0.96{\sim}0.97$.

Because it is difficult to install new large hydraulic structure, washland is considered as alternatives of hydraulic facility. As flood reduction effect of washland is dependent on flood, hydrograph, capacity of washland and spillway height, applying adequate spillway height is very important to maximize flood reduction effect of washland. In this study, effect of variation of spillway height on flood reduction effect of washlands is analyzed. The existing model developed to make decision for optimal location of washland using flood reduction effect as evaluation function and location of washland as decision variable was revised for this purpose. The spillway height of washland is added as decision variable and revised model finally give optimal location and spillway height of washland as result. The developed model has been applied to the Ansung River basin and application result was compared with that of existing model. The application result shows that developed model can give more efficient result than existing model.

In this study, past method and recent method for flood discharge with domestic multi-purpose dams in Korea were compared and analyzed with respect to the scale of watershed. Rainfall depth, temporal pattern, rainfall excess, rainfall-runoff model, parameter estimation and base flow were selected as the principal factors affecting flood discharge and effects on flood discharge were analyzed quantitatively by using sensitivity analysis. The results showed that the flood discharges calculated by past and recent method increased and decreased with a wide range of discharge with respect to the scale of watershed. The reason for decrease of flood discharge is the exchange of temporal pattern of rainfall and the principal reasons for increase of flood discharge are the increase of rainfall depth by unusual weather phenomena and the difference of estimation method for parameters of unit hydrograph.

기후변화는 하천 수문특성을 변화시켰으며, 이로 인해 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 자연재해로 인한 피해와 발생빈도가 점차 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 기후변화에 대비한 유역관리를 위해 유역특성을 고려한 정확한 수문예측이 요구되고 있다. 다양한 유역특성 중에서 수문곡선의 감수부는 유역의 토성, 경사, 대수층 특성 등에 영향을 받는다. 하지만 대부분 유출 모의 모형에서는 이를 고려하지 않고 유역 전체가 동일한 감수특성을 가지고 있다고 가정하여 모의를 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미계측 유역에서의 유출 모의가 가능한 Soil and Water Assessement Tool(SWAT) 모형을 활용하여 소유역 별 수문곡선의 감수부 특성이 기저유출 모의 결과에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. alpha factor는 SWAT 모형의 다양한 매개변수 중 한가지로 수문곡선의 감수부 특성을 나타내는 매개변수이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 소유역 중에서 실측 유량자료가 활용 가능한 소유역에 대하여 Web-based RECESS를 통해 alpha factor를 직접 산정하였다. 이렇게 산정한 alpha factor를 SWAT 모형에 적용하여 유출 모의를 한 뒤 모의 결과로부터 기저유출을 분리하였다. SWAT 모형의 기본 입력값(default value)을 적용에 따른 기저유출 분리결과와 실측 유량자료로부터 산정된 alpha factor 적용에 따른 기저유출 분리결과를 비교한 결과 실측 유량자료로부터 산정된 alpha factor를 적용 시 기저유출 모의 결과가 실제 기저유출에 더 가까운 값을 나타내었다. 하지만 alpha factor의 산정 방법 특성 상 실측 유량자료 부재시 이를 산정할 수 없다는 한계점이 있다. 이에 실측 유량자료를 이용한 기존의 alpha factor 산정 방법을 대체할 수 있는 alpha factor 산정 방법을 개발한다면 정확한 기저유출 모의가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Baseflow which is one of the unmeasurable components of streamflow and slowly flows through underground is important for water resource management. Despite various separation methods from researches preceded, it is difficult to find a significant separation method for baseflow separation. This study applied the MRC method and developed the improved approach to separate baseflow from total streamflow hydrograph. Previous researchers utilized the whole streamflow data of study period at once to derive synthetic MRCs causing unreliable results. This study has been proceeded with total nine areas with gauging stations. Each three areas are selected from 3 domestic major watersheds. Tool for drawing MRC had been used to draw MRCs of each area. First, synthetic MRC for whole period and two other MRCs were drawn following two different criteria. Two criteria were set by different conditions, one is flow condition and the other is seasonality. The whole streamflow was classified according to seasonality and flow conditions, and MRCs had been drawn with a specialized program. The MRCs for flow conditions had low R2 and similar trend to recession segments. On the other hand, the seasonal MRCs were eligible for the baseflow separation that properly reflects the seasonal variability of baseflow. Comparing two methods of assuming MRC for baseflow separation, seasonal MRC was more effective for relieving overestimating tendency of synthetic MRC. Flow condition MRCs had large distribution of the flow and this means accurate MRC could not be found. Baseflow separation using seasonal MRC is showing more reliability than the other one however, if certain technique added up to the flow condition MRC method to stabilize distribution of the streamflow, the flow conditions method could secure reliability as much as seasonal MRC method.

Frequent urban floods affect the human safety and economic properties due to a lack of the capacity of drainage system and the increased frequency of torrential rainfall. The drainage system has played an important role in flooding control, so it is necessary to establish the effective countermeasures considering the connection between drainage system and surface flow. To consider the connection, we selected SWMM5 model for analyzing transportation capacity of drainage system and FLUMEN model for calculating inundation depth and time variation of inundation area. First, Thiessen method is used to delineate the sub-catchments effectively base on drainage network data in SWMM5. Then, the output data of SWMM5, hydrograph of each manhole, were used to simulate FLUMEN to obtain inundation depth and time variation of inundation area. The proposed method is applied to Sadang area for the event occurred in $27^{th}$ of July, 2011. A total of 11 manholes, we could check the overflow from the manholes during that event as a result of the SWMM5 simulation. After that, FLUMEN was utilized to simulate overland flow using the overflow discharge to calculate inundation depth and area on ground surface. The simulated results showed reasonable agreements with observed data. Through the simulations, we confirmed that the main reason of the inundation was the insufficient transportation capacities of drainage system. Therefore cooperation of both models can be used for not only estimating inundation damages in urban areas but also for providing the theoretical supports of the urban network reconstruction. As a future works, it is recommended to decide optimized pipe diameters for efficient urban inundation simulations.

국내에서는 유역의 설계홍수량을 결정하기 위해 강우-유출 사상에 의해 유도된 대표단위도를 활용하는 방식이 일반적으로 채택되고 있으나, 유역의 실측 호우사상이 부족한 경우 대표단위도의 신뢰성은 종종 논쟁의 여지를 갖게 된다. 이는 제한된 수의 자료를 활용하여 도출된 매개변수의 평균이나 최대/최소값으로 채택되는 대표단위도를 통해 산정되는 설계홍수량이 왜곡될 수 있는 가능성에 기인하는 것이다. 따라서 매개변수 산정 및 검정에 활용되는 사상의 수와 질이 설계홍수량 산정에 미치는 영향을 파악하는 것이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 가용한 호우사상의 수가 제한된 유역의 경우 Clark 단위도의 매개변수 도출에 대한 불확실성 분석을 수행하였다. 대상유역은 비교적 다량의 실측 호우사상을 갖는 국내 중규모 댐 유역으로 선정하였으며, 호우사상 모집단의 수가 N개일 때 단위도 유도에 활용되는 사상을 2개부터 N-1개까지 증가시켜 가며 분석대상이 되는 호우사상이 무작위로 선정될 경우를 가정하였다. 불확실성 분석을 수행하기 위하여 Monte Carlo Simulation을 각 호우사상 수별로 100회씩 적용하였으며, 이 때 확률변수는 등분포함수를 따르는 것으로 가정하여 각 호우사상이 선정될 가능성을 동일하게 부여하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 선정된 호우사상별 매개변수들 중 도달시간과 저류상수의 평균값과 최소값을 대표단위도(평균, 최대)의 매개변수로 각각 채택하여 설계홍수량을 도출하였다. 그 결과 선정된 호우사상의 양과 질에 관계없이 호우사상 수가 증가함에 따라 채택되는 대표단위도의 매개변수가 안정되는 경향을 보였으며, 설계수문곡선의 첨두홍수량 분포는 음으로 왜곡되는 경향을 나타내어 설계홍수량이 과소산정될 가능성이 감소하는 결과를 보였다. 즉, 대상유역의 분석 대상 호우사상 수가 증가하면 대표단위도 매개변수 및 설계홍수량 산정결과가 안정되는 경향을 보이므로 설계홍수량 산정의 신뢰성을 향상 시킬 수 있을 것이며, 이는 향후 설계홍수량 산정 및 평가를 수행하는 기술자들의 판단도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Increased Non-permeable areas which have resulted from civilization reduce the volume of groundwater infiltration that is one of the important factors causing water shortage during a dry season. Thus, seeking the efficient method to analyze the volume of groundwater in accurate should be needed to solve water shortage problems. In this study, two different watersheds were selected and precipitation, soil group, and land use were surveyed in a particular year in order to figure out the accuracy of estimated infiltration recharge ratio compared to Web-based Hydrograph Analysis Tool (WHAT). The volume of groundwater was estimated considering Antecedent soil Moisture Condition (AMC) and Curve Number (CN) using Long Term Hydrologic Impact Assessment (L-THIA) model. The results of this study showed that in the case of Kyoung-an watershed, the volume of both infiltration and baseflow seperated from WHAT was 46.99% in 2006 and 33.68% in 2007 each and in Do-am watershed the volume of both infiltration and baseflow was 33.48% in 2004 and 23.65% in 2005 respectively. L-THIA requires only simple data (i.e., land uses, soils, and precipitation) to simulate the accurate volume of groundwater. Therefore, with convenient way of L-THIA, researchers can manage watershed more effectively than doing it with other models. L-THIA has limitations that it neglects the contributions of snowfall to precipitation. So, to estimate more accurate assessment of the long term hydrological impacts including groundwater with L-THIA, further researches about snowfall data in winter should be considered.

It is important to extract and assess low-flow recession characteristics for water resources management in the upper reaches of a stream. It is difficult to express the groundwater flow recession characteristics for streamflow synthetically. The linear recession model has been widely used by baseflow recession analysis for reason of simplicity and convenience, but recent studies show that nonlinear recession models fit well, and the relationship between the reservoir storage of shallow unconfined aquifers and the groundwater discharge was to be identified as nonlinear in the literature based on the analysis of numerous streamflow recession curves. The objective of the study is to decode these nonlinear characteristics, including evaporation loss, storage, and recharge of groundwater using streamflow. By analyzing the observed time series of streamflow from the study area, which is the Pyeongchang River basin in Korea, the main components of the underlying groundwater balance, namely, discharge, evaporation loss, storage, and recharge, can be identified and quantified. As a result of the study, depletion of groundwater by evapotranspiration losses through the water uptake of tree roots was found to bias the recession curves and the estimated reservoir parameters. The seasonality of both rainfall and potential evaporation, analysis of the recession curves, stratified according to time of the year, allowed the quantification of evapotranspiration loss as a function of a calendar month and stored groundwater storage.

Effective science-based management of the basin water resources requires an understanding of the characteristics of the streams, such as the baseflow discharge. In this study, the base flow was estimated in the two watersheds with the least artificial factors among the Nakdong River watersheds, as determined using the chemical hydrograph separation technique. The 16-year (2004-2019) discontinuous observed stream flow and electrical conductivity data in the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) monitoring network were extended to continuous daily data using the TANK model and the 7-parameter log-linear model combined with the minimum variance unbiased estimator. The annual base flows at the upper Namgang Dam basin and the upper Nakdong River basin were both analyzed to be about 56% of the total annual flow. The monthly base flow ratio showed a high monthly deviation, as it was found to be higher than 0.9 in the dry season and about 0.46 in the rainy season. This is in line with the prevailing common sense notion that in winter, most of the stream flow is base flow, due to the characteristics of the dry season winter in Korea. It is expected that the chemical-based hydrological separation technique involving TANK and the 7-parameter log-linear models used in this study can help quantify the base flow required for systematic watershed water environment management.
