Almost all of the water from agricultural dams located to the upper of the Yeongsan river is supplied as irrigation water for farmland and thus is not discharged to the main stream of the river. Also, most of the irrigation water does not return to the river after use, adding to the lack of flow in the main stream. As a result, the water quality and aquatic health of the river have become the poorest among the four major rivers in Korea. Therefore, in this study, several strategies for water quality improvement of the river were developed considering pollution reduction and flow rate increase, and their effect analysis was performed using a water quality model. The results of this study showed that the target water quality of the Yeongsan river could be achieved if flow increase strategies (FISs) are intensively pursued in parallel with pollution reduction. The reason is because the water quality of the river has been steadily improved through pollution reduction but this method is now nearing the limit. In addition, rainfall-related FISs such as dam construction and water distribution adjustment may be less effective or lost if a megadrought continues due to climate change and then rainfall does not occur for a long time. Therefore, in the future, if the application conditions for the FISs are similar, the seawater desalination facility, which is independent of rainfall, should be considered as the priority installation target among the FISs. The reason is that seawater desalination facilities can replace the water supply function of dams, which are difficult to newly build in Korea, and can be useful as a climate change adaptation facility by preventing water-related disasters in the event of a long-term megadrought.

기포가 포함된 다상흐름의 측정은 중요함에도 불구하고 많은 제약이 있었다. 특히, 공극률이 높은 다상 흐름은 밀도차의 급격한 변화와 두꺼운 공기-물 경계면으로 인해 측정이 매우 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 공극률에 상관없이 기포흐름을 측정할 수 있는 기포영상유속측정법과 다발 광섬유유동측정계를 소개하고자 한다. 기포영상측정기법의 경우, 화상측정시 발생하는 원근에 의한 오차를 최소화하고 추정할 수 있는 피사계 심도에 대한 계산방법을 제시하여 정도 분석을 위한 방안을 제시하였다. 다발 광섬유유동측정계는 얇은 광섬유의 특성을 이용해 다발로 제작하여 측정률을 증가시키고자 하였다. 제시된 두 기법을 기포플룸에 적용하여 신뢰도를 검토하였으며 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 소개된 기법으로 대표적인 하천 다상흐름인 도수흐름을 측정하여 그 적용성을 검토하였다.
