The Sustainable Water Resources Research Center (SWRRC) was established to manage water resources in an integrated manner and has been supported as a part of the 21st Frontier Research and Development Program by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and Ministry of Construction and Transportation since August 2001. The mission of the SWRRC is to cope with future water shortage problems through development and implementation of technologies of integrated water resources management. This mission ultimately aims at improving of living standards of human being, which is one of the major goals of the 21st Frontier Research and Development Program. The project is conducted by three phases. Duringthe first phase (2001. 8 ~ 2004. 6), the majority of funding is used for development of core and supporting technologies. In the second phase (2004. 7 ~ 2007. 6), with the core and supporting technologies financed continuously, the fund will be usedon different parts of studies in terms of sectors, subjects and integrated researches, and the rest of the fund (50%) will go toward implementation combined with business in the form of providing technologies. In the final phase (2007. 7 ~ 2011. 6), 30% of the fund will be used to integrate developed systems and 70% will be spent on implementation for selected areas to which newly developed technologies will be applied Project Management System for Water resources R&D is cost-effective and well fitted system by resolving many kind of problems facing such a large research and development program considering limited manager.

본 연구에서는 과학기술부의 21C 프론티어 사업 중 하나인 수자원의 지속적 확보기술개발사업단에서 연구 개발 중인 수자원 확보기술을 대상으로 기술평가 모형을 구축하였다. 이는 개발기술의 가치평가를 통하여 R&D가 효율적으로 사용되고 개발된 기술이 실용화 단계까지 성공적으로 갈 수 있도록 기여함에 있다. 수자원 확보기술의 성격을 반영할 수 있도록 정량적 평가뿐만 아니라 정성적 평가가 모두 가능한 2개의 계층으로 이루어진 평가틀이 구축되었다. 4개의 평가기준
