Interrill erosion on a hillslope results from the combined action of the detachment of soil particles by raindrop impact and the sediment transport of surface runoff. This study newly defined the rainfall power which detaches soil particles and the sheet-flow power contributed to sediment transport in terms of energy expenditure rate of soil erosion and presented the effective power equation for interrill erosion by rainfall-induced sheet flow. The rainfall and sheet-flow power was evaluated by factors related with rainfall, slope, and runoff and coefficients of the power equation were analyzed based on references. Futhermore it was confirmed that the relative scales between the rainfall power and the sheet-flow power according to rainfall intensity reflect on the hydrological response and physical process of interrill erosion. From application of the field data for surface runoff and soil erosion it was verified that the rainfall and sheet-flow power is an appropriate equation to estimate a interrill erosion.

The Kalina cycle simulation study was carried out for a preliminary design of a geothermal power generation system. The Kalina cycle system can be used for the utilization of a low-temperature heat sources such as geothermal and industrial waste heat that are not hot enough to produce steam. The sea/river water can be considered as a cooling media. A steady-state simulation model was developed to analyze and optimize its performance. The model contains a turbine, a pump, an expansion valve and heat exchangers. The turbine and pump were modelled by an isentropic efficiency, while a condenser, an evaporator and a regenerative heat exchanger were modeled by UA-LMTD method with a counter-flow assumption. The simulation results show that the power generation efficiency over 10% is expected when a heat source and sink inlet temperatures are $100^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$ respectively.

The objective of this study is to analyze the degree of surface-glossing of cement mortar with the grading of aggregate and contents of limestone powder. According to the experimental results, degree of surface-glossing of cement mortar using river sand is higher than that of crushed sand. As F.M of aggregates is less than 2.78, degree surface-flossing of cement mortar has better performance, Also, as the contents of limestone power increase, degree of surface-flossing is shown to be improved, And it shows that degree of surface-glossing decrease with elapse of age.

This paper is to propose the concept and performance of a gravity engine which could extract energy from sea or river as a clean. renewable and sustainable power. the vertical motion of the buoyancy cylinder of the present gravity engine is converted to the mechanical work directly without any hydraulic loss. The positive net energy between the imposed and harnessed one is achieved by the specific operating procedure. The detailed derivation of the energy balance is made based on the first principle of thermodynamics. The calculation demonstrates that the present gravity engine could harness more energy than the conventional turbine system in the same basin area because of the relatively high efficiency in the energy conversion system and added mass from the buoyancy cylinder.

The major reason to construct large dams is to store surplus water during rainy seasons and utilize it for water supply in dry seasons. Reservoir storage has to meet a pre-defined target to satisfy water demands and cope with a dry season when the availability of water resources are limited temporally as well as spatially. In this study, a Hedging rule that reduces total reservoir outflow as drought starts is applied to alleviate severe water shortages. Five stages for reducing outflow based on the current reservoir storage are proposed as the Hedging rule. The objective function is to minimize the total discrepancies between the target and actual reservoir storage, water supply and demand, and required minimum river discharge and actual river flow. Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is used to develop a multi-reservoir operation system with the Hedging rule. The developed system is applied for the Han River basin that includes four multi-purpose dams and one water supplying reservoir. One of the fours dams is primarily for power generation. Ten-day-based runoff from subbasins and water demand in 2003 and water supply plan to water users from the reservoirs are used from "Long Term Comprehensive Plan for Water Resources in Korea" and "Practical Handbook of Dam Operation in Korea", respectively. The model was optimized by GAMS/CPLEX which is LP/MIP solver using a branch-and-cut algorithm. As results, 99.99% of municipal demand, 99.91% of agricultural demand and 100.00% of minimum river discharge were satisfied and, at the same time, dam storage compared to the storage efficiency increased 10.04% which is a real operation data in 2003.

Future uncertainty on water demand caused by future climate condition and water consumption leads a difficulty to determine the reservoir operation rule for supplying sufficient water to users. It is, thus, important to operate reservoirs not only for distributing enough water to users using the limited water resources but also for preventing floods and drought under the unknown future condition. In this study, the reservoir storage is determined in the first stage when future condition is unknown, and then, water distribution to users and river stream is optimized using the available water resources from the first stage decision using 2-stage stochastic linear programming (2-SLP). The objective function is to minimize the difference between target and actual water storage in reservoirs and the water shortage in users and river stream. Hedging rule defined by a precaution against severe drought by restricting outflow when reservoir storage decreases below a target, is also applied in the reservoir operation rule for improving the model applicability to the real system. The developed model is applied in a system with five reservoirs in the Han River basin, Korea to optimize the multi-reservoir system under various future water demand scenarios. Three multi-purposed dams - Chungju, Hoengseong, and Soyanggang - are considered in the model. Gwangdong and Hwacheon dams are also considered in the system due to the large capacity of the reservoirs, but they are primarily for water supply and power generation, respectively. As a result, the water demand of users and river stream are satisfied in most cases. The reservoirs are operated successfully to store enough water during the wet season for preparing the coming drought and also for reducing downstream flood risk. The developed model can provide an effective guideline of multi-reservoir operation rules in the basin.
