A small dam is of hydraulic structures, which is always exposed to risk by flood, and it’s very important to ensure structural safety. A probabilistic analysis, quantifying variable as a risk factor to ensure safety of small dam, identifying its coefficient of variation, which has become increasingly important. In this study, the risk of seepage failure of foundation within a small dam was estimated based on flood scenarios by rainfall quantile. The final compound risk was evaluated combining probabilities, related to seepage failure and flood level. The seepage failure probability was estimated by performing seepage analysis depending on the water level difference between upstream and downstream in small dam. The probable flood level was estimated by considering hydraulic uncertainty associated with channel geometry, and movable gate operation during the flooding season, applied a probable flood considering hydrologic uncertainty evaluated by Bayesian approach. The safety evaluation of small dam with probabilistic-based compound risk expect to use the index for hydraulic structure design in the future.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 강정고령보 근처에서 2011년 7월부터 2012년 9월까지 1년 이상 관측된 에너지 플럭스 자료의 분석을 통해 강 주변 농경지와 도시에 따른 플럭스 특징을 알아보고 향후 영향평가에 활용 가능한 자료인지 평가하고자 하였다. 연구 대상지는 농경지로 둘러싸인 시골지역과 도시공단 지역에 위치하였다. 현열 및 잠열 플럭스를 풍향에 따라 분석하였다. 여름에 바람이 강쪽에서 불어올 때 두 관측지점 모두 현열은 감소하고 잠열은 증가하는 형태를 보였다. 이는 강으로부터 전달된 수분에 의한 것으로 파악된다. 보웬비, 에너지 수지 닫힘, 운동량 플럭스, 안정도에 대한 분석 또한 이루어졌다. 두 지점간 보웬비를 비교한 결과 전 계절에 걸쳐 도시 지역의 보웬비가 농경지 지역의 보웬비보다 더 높았다. 에너지 수지 닫힘은 도시 지역에서 더 낮게 나타났는데 이는 도시 지역에서 저장항 계산이 배제되었기 때문으로 보인다. 운동량 플럭스는 여름과 겨울 두 계절 모두 도시 지역에서 더 높게 나타났다. 강한 난류를 보이는 주간과 여름에 불안정한 상태가 장시간 지속되었다. 이들 지점에서 관측된 자료는 향후 강이 주변지역에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구에 사용하기 적절한 것으로 보인다.

In this study, heavy metal levels at the sediment monitoring network site upstream of the Gangjeong-Goryeong weir in the Nakdong River were surveyed from 2012 to 2016. We assessed the sediment pollution level using various pollution indexes based on ICP-MS analysis. The stream sediment pollution assessment standard, established through Regulation No. 687 of the National Institute of Environmental Research (2015), pollution load index (PLI), potential ecological risk index (RI), and mean PEL Quotient (mPELQ) were used to evaluate the sediment pollution level. We verified the representativeness of the monitoring point through the distribution of sedimentation and scour behavior by river bed surveying using anacousticDopplercurrentprofiler.

Surface heat balance of the Gangjeong-Goryung Reservoir is analyzed for 12-17 August 2013. Each flux elements at the water surface is derived from the special field observations with application of an aerodynamical bulk method for the turbulent heat fluxes and empirical formulae for the radiation heat fluxes. The rate of heat storage in the reservoir is estimated by using estimated by surface heating rate and the vertical water temperature data. The flux divergence of heat transport is estimated as a residual. The features of the surface heat balance are almost decided by the latent heat flux and the solar radiation flux. On average for 12-17 August 2014 in the Gangjeong- Goryung Reservoir, if one defines the insolation at the water surface as 100 %, 94 % is absorbed in the reservoir; thereafter the reservoir loses about 30~50% by sensible heat, latent heat and net long-wave radiation. The residue of 50~80 % raises the water temperature in the reservoir or transported away by the river flow during the daytime.

Visibility and Automatic Weather System(AWS) data near Nakdong river were analyzed to characterize fog formation during 2012-2013. The temperature was lower than its nearby city – Daegu, whereas the humidity was higher than the city. 157 fog events were observed in total during the 2 year period. About 65% of the events occurred in fall (September, October, and November) followed by winter, summer, and spring. 94 early morning fog events of longer than 30 minutes occurred when south westerly wind speed was lower than 2 m/s. During these events, the water temperature was highest followed by soil surface and air temperatures due to the advection of cold and humid air from nearby hill. The observed fog events were categorized using a fog-type classification algorithm, which used surface cooling, wind speed threshold, rate of change of air temperature and dew point temperature. As a result, frontal fog observed 6 times, radiation 4, advection 13, and evaporation 66. The evaporation fog in the study area lasted longer than other reports. It is due to the interactions of cold air drainage flow and warm surface in addition to the evaporation from the water surface. In particular, more than 60% of the evaporation fog events were accompanied with cold air flows over the wet and warm surface. Therefore, it is needed for the identification of the inland fog mechanism to evaluate the impacts of nearby topography and land cover as well as water body.

In this study, the effects of four major river project and Kumho River, second biggest branch of Nakdong River, were investigated to provide basic data for proper management of Nakdong River’s water quality. Daily sampling processes at three different points, Munsanri (the upper side of Kangjung-Koryung weir), Kangchang (the outlet of the Kumho River) and Samunjin (the lower side of Kangjung-Koryung weir and junction of Kumho River and Nakdong River), were conducted from May 1st 2011 to Sep. 4th 2011. Water samples were analyzed for nine factors, DO, BOD, COD, T-N, T-P, pH, turbidity, SS, and coliform. As demonstrated by the results, concentrations of BOD, T-N, T-P and coliform at Nakdong River were affected by water quality of Kumho River while SS and turbidity were affected by constructions for Kangjung-Koryung weir. Further studies, for example, affects of wastewater treatment facilities, should be followed.
