The frequency by water disaster in urban areas are increasing continuously due to climate change and urbanization. Countermeasures are being conducted to reduce the damage caused by water disasters. An analysis based on permeability, one of the parameters that affect runoff, is needed to predict quantitative runoff in urban watersheds and study runoff reduction. In this study, the SWAT model was simulated for the oncheon stream basin, a representative urban stream in Busan. The permeability map was prepared by calculating the CN values for each hydrologic response unit. Based on the permeability map prepared, EPA SWMM analyzed the effect of LID technology application on the water cycle in the basin for short-term rainfall events. The LID element technology applied to the oncheon stream basin was rooftop greening in the residential complex, and waterproof packaging was installed on the road. The land cover status of the land selected based on the permeability map and the application of LID technology reduced the outflow rate, peak flow rate, and outflow rate and increased the infiltration. Hence, LID technology has a positive effect on the water cycle in an urban basin.

The study objects were to analyze long-term and seasonal variations of nutrients (N, P), suspended solids, N:P ratios, algal chlorophyll, and trophic state along with general water quality parameters in four sampling sites including two intake tower sites supplying drinking water in Daechung Reservoir. For the analysis, we used water quality long-term data sampled during 1998~2007 by the Ministry of Environment, Korea. Interannual and seasonal trends in inflow and discharge near the intake tower facilities over the ten years were directly influenced by rainfall pattern. The distinct difference between wet year (2003) and dry year (2001) produced marked differences in water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, organic matter contents, nutrients, and these variables influenced algal biomass and trophic state. Values of TP varied depending on the year and locations sampled, but monthly mean TP always peaked during July~August when river inflow and precipitation were maxima. In contrast, TN varied little compared to TP, indicating lower influence by seasonal flow compared to phosphorus. The number of E. coli were highest in Site 2 (Chudong intake tower) and varied largely, whereas at other sites, the numbers were low and low variations. Contents of chlorophyll-${\alpha}$ (CHL), as an estimation of primary productivity, varied largely depending on the year and season. The maximum of CHL occurred at Muneu intake tower (S4) during 2006 when the precipitation and inflow were lowest. In contrast, another CHL peak was observed in Site 2 (Chudong intake tower) in 2006 when one of the largest typoons (Ewinia) occurred and river runoff were maximum. So the CHL maxima were associated with both wet year (high flow, high nutrient supply) and dry year (low flow, nutrient supply by littoral zone). Such conditions influenced trophic states, based on Trophic State Index of nutrients and CHL. Based on all analyses, we can provide some clues for management and protection strategies of two intake tower sites.

The performance data for eight years from a free-surface-flow constructed wetland system receiving agricultural tailwater were used to analyze denitrification rate and nitrogen treatment characteristics according to season and wetland design. Seasonal difference between growing season (March~November) and winter season (December~February) was shown in the concentration of all nitrogen species. Seasonal nitrogen treatment has similar trend with temperature and measured denitrification rate. The highest denitrification rate was measured in July, but treatment efficiency was most higher in May and June. Nitrogen absorption of vegetation could affect to these wetland performances, therefore dense population of wetland vegetation might be helpful. According to design of wetland, at least 25~50 m of wetland length was needed to decrease effluent T-N concentration to background concentration in growing season. In winter season, wetland needed much longer distance to reduce T-N concentration. Mass removal rate was continuously high through whole year because runoff coefficient was low in winter season. Applicability of constructed wetland was observed for the total maximum daily load that control T-N load.

Hydrologic Simulation Program-Fortran (HSPF) coupled with PEST which is optimization program was calibrated and validated at Bochung watershed by using monitoring data of water quantities and nutrient loading. Although the calibrated data were limited, model parameters of each land use type were optimized and coefficient of determinations were ranged from 0.94 to 0.99 for runoff, from 0.89 to 1.00 for TN loading, and from 0.92 to 1.00 for TP loading. The optimized hydrological parameters indicated that the forested land could retain rainfall within soil layer with high soil layer depth and infiltration rate compared with other land use type. Hydrological characteristics of paddy rice field are low infiltration rate and coefficient of roughness. The calibrated parameters related to nutrient loading indicated generation of nutrient pollution from agricultural area including upland and paddy rice field higher than other land use type resulting from fertilizer application. Overall PEST program is useful tool to calibrate HSPF automatically without consuming time and efforts.

The runoff from an urban catchment is increased because of the gravitation of the population towards cities. For this reason, water level increment in confluence area makes it impossible to drain internal water and thus produces flood out in upstream areas. In this study, flow variations of main channel are measured which is caused by combining storm sewer into main channel in small watershed. Depth increment in main stream is analyzed due to flowrate and slope in main channel and flowrate, slope is getting steeper, and also due to low flowrate in main stream and high flowrate in tributrary channel. For the degree of confluence, depth ratio decreases when the degree is getting small. As mentioned above, main factors influencing the depth ratio increment of confluence channel are in the order of the degree of confluence, and the flowrate of tributary channel and main channel.

The dynamics of water quality with the storm events were analyzed in a small reservoir for irrigation, Lake Wangkung. Water quality of the inflowing stream fluctuated seasonally with the variation of flow rate. Thermal stratification was consistent from April to October below 2 m depths and anoxic layer was developed below 2 m depth in summer. The unique feature of temperature showed that thermal stratification was disrupted by a heavy rain event during monsoon, but hypolimnetic hypoxia were reestablished after a few days. Phosphorus and nitrogen increased immediately following storm events. The marked increase may be due to the input of P-rich storm runoff from the watershed. Internal phosphorus loading can be one of the explanations for TP increases in summer. When there was a storm, total populations of phytoplankton and zooplankton was reduced immediately following the storm, indicating possible flushing of algae and zooplankton. After a lag period of low-density the plankton population bloomed to a peak again within five days after the storm. Turbid water in lake became clear again which coincided with the time of the phytoplankton buildup. The results demonstrate that water quality is regulated greatly by rainfall intensity in Lake Wangkung.

물 순환이란 물이 지표면으로부터 증발하거나 바다로부터 증발하여 습한 공기가 기단을 형성한 후 적합한 조건이 형성되면 강수를 초래하는 과정이라고 볼 수 있다. 여기서 강수는 여러 경로 즉, 증발산, 지표흐름, 침투, 침루 등을 통해 다시 순환과정을 거친다. 최근 도시화로 인한 불투수면적의 증가로 기후변화, 홍수지체시간 감소, 첨두 및 유출총량의 증가, 침투능 및 증발산량의 감소 등 자연하천의 유출특성과는 다른 유출특성이 나타나며, 물 순환 체계가 왜곡되어 지하수위는 낮아지고, 하천의 유량은 감소되는 등 하천의 정상적인 기능이 저하되고 있다. 이에 우리나라에서는 환경부 및 국토교통부 등 정부기관과 지방자치단체에서 법과 조례를 제정하여 저영향개발기법 (LID, Low Impact Development)을 적용하도록 권고하고 있으며 신도시 개발사업 시 왜곡된 도시의 물 순환체계를 개선하기 위하여 저영향개발기법을 적용하고 있다. 저영향개발 기법의 정량적인 효과를 검증하기 위해서는 미환경청 (U.S. EPA., United States Environmental Protection Agency)에서 개발한 SWMM모델을 이용하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 도시화로 인해 왜곡된 물순환체계 개선을 위하여 다양하게 설계된 저영향개발기법의 정량적인 효율을 SWMM 모델을 통해 산정하고, 장기적인 측면에서 물순환 회복에 적합한 저영향개발기법의 배치 최적화를 제안하고자 한다.

In this study, a HSPF model was developed to simulate runoff and water quality in the Haebancheon watershed, which has a high land area ratio and population density among the West Nakdong River watersheds. Various non-point source pollution control strategies were applied, and the reduction in pollutant loads and the exceedance rate of water quality standards were analyzed. The scenarios included basic road cleaning for reducing pollutant loads, runoff reduction measures considering extensive low-impact development techniques, and inflow reduction measures to mitigate non-point source pollution entering the river. In the first step, practical conditions such as the number of vehicles for road cleaning in Kimhae City were considered, while for the second and third steps, it was assumed that 50% of the applicable land use area was used to be applicable for the LID techniques. As a result of applying all three measures, it was analyzed that the BOD pollutant load could be reduced by 58.28%, T-N by 58.49%, and T-P by 51.56%. Furthermore, the 60th percentile of water quality measurements accumulated over 5 years was set as the target water quality, and a flow-duration curve was constructed. The exceedance rate of the flow-duration curve before and after applying non-point source pollution reduction measures was analyzed. As a result, for BOD, the exceedance rate decreased from 41.57% before applying the measures to 16.32% after, showing a 25.25% reduction in the exceedance rate. For T-N, the exceedance rate decreased significantly from 40.31% before the measures to 22.84% after, and for T-P, it decreased significantly from 62.43% to 27.22%.

In recent years, urbanization has been a hot issues in watershed management due to increased pollutant loads from impervious urban areas. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely used in hydrology and water quality studies at watershed scale. However, the SWAT has limitations in simulating water flows between HRUs and hydrological effects of LID practices. The Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) has LID capabilities, but it does not simulate non-urban areas, especially agricultural areas. In this study, a SWAT-SWMM coupled model was developed to evaluate effects of LID practices on hydrology and water quality at mixed-landuse watersheds. This coupled SWAT-SWMM was evaluated by comparing calibrated flow with and without coupled SWAT-SWMM. As a result of this study, the $R^2$ and NSE values with SWAT are 0.951 and 0.937 for calibration period, and 0.882 and 0.875 for validation period, respectively. the $R^2$ and NSE values with SWAT-SWMM are 0.877 and 0.880 for validation period. Out of four LID scenarios simulated by SWAT-SWMM model, the green roof scenario was found to be most effective which reduces about 25% of rainfall-runoff flows.

최근 국토교통부 홍수통제소에서는 가뭄대응을 위해 1, 3개월 갈수예보를 시범적으로 운영하고 있다. 국가재난 위기경보단계(관심, 주의, 경계, 심각)에 따라 분류된 기준유량과 예측유량의 비교를 통해 갈수상황을 판단하며, 그 중 기준유량은 일본의 정상유량 산정 기법에 의해 계산된다. 그러나 우기 건기에 따라 상이한 유입량 및 물 사용량이 정상유량 산정에 고려되지 않았고, 각 위기단계별 물 부족상황이 재현되지 못하였다. 또한, 하천유량 부족은 가뭄과 관계가 밀접함에도 불구하고, 가뭄상황과의 연계분석이 이뤄지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 갈수빈도와 정상유량산정 모델을 이용하여 기준유량을 재설정하고 가뭄상황을 분석하였다. 대상유역은 영산강유역으로 선정하였고, 보고된 하천수사용허가량, 댐 용수 공급량 및 10년 이상 장기간 관측된 관측소별 일 유량자료를 활용하였다. 일 관측유량을 7일 이동평균으로 변환한 후, 유황분석을 통해 $Q_{90}$을 산정하였으며, 빈도별 $Q_{90}$을 계산하였다. 정상유량 산정 모델에서 입력 자료(자연유량, 댐 공급량 및 하천수 허가량)에 가중치를 두어 양을 조절하고 각 빈도에 맞는 관개기 및 비관개기 기준유량을 산정 하였다. 가뭄지수로는 국내 활용성이 높은 Standardized Precipitaion Index (SPI) 및 Standardized Runoff Index (SRI)를 선정하였고, 이를 지속기간 1, 3, 6, 12개월에 따라 일별로 계산하였다. 7일 평균 관측유량이 기준유량 이하일 때, 이시점을 전 후로 가뭄지수의 시공간적 특성과 가뭄의 지속기간 및 심도를 분석하여 가뭄상황을 제시하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 갈수예보 시 하천유량 부족에 따른 물수지 및 가뭄상황에 대한 직관적인 판단과 갈수기 효율적인 하천수 조정 협의에 기여할 것으로 본다.
