This study on Gobongdond Wetlands have hydrogeomorpholosic charateristics in the southern-west of Gogongsan. This study area have been dissected and deep weathered. in geology, this area show banded gneiss consisting of alternated felsis and mafic layers. in geomorphology this area have 3 slope that surplyed the surface water and ground water, but have a little water source by surface water. The most of Gobongdong wetland's water sources are aquifer or confined aquifer, so this wetlands have many seepages or discharges. The characteristics of Soil have retained the wetland's water. Deep weathering made the parents soil into clay minerals.(siallitization) This clay minerals have a high water table.
