Burial sites are constructed for the purpose of controlling air-born livestock diseases such as avian influenza and foot-and-mouth outbreak. As most of the burial sites are located in the agricultural land use, public concerns are mounting about soil and groundwater contamination. During precipitation events, contaminated baseflows are released from the burial sites into surface waters. Baseflow are therefore required to be managed properly, by monitoring and even by remediation means. We propose each burial sites should be regarded as a point source possibly degrade groundwater, thus be managed in watershed scale for the purpose of surface water quality conservation.

Baswflow is defined as short term discharge through groundwater caused by rainfall events. Impacts of baseflow is significant on water quality especially where pervious agricultural watershed as groundwater is more vulnerable to the contamination. In this study, the Cheongmicheon watershed was subjected to study to assess the impacts of baseflow on surface water quality, where more than 90% of pollutant load is originated from the livestock raising area, and very high probability of surface water contamination due to the baseflow. To estimate nutrient loading cased by baseflow, NI (Numerical Integration) model and LOADEST (LOADing ESTimation) model were used.

본 연구에서는 SWAT 모형과 PART 방법을 이용하여 낙동강 유역과 전국 하천을 대상으로 기저유출지표를 산정하고, 도시화에 따른 기저유출 영 향을 분석하였다. 낙동강 유역의 연평균 기저유출은 총유량 대비 약 40-44%인 것으로 분석되었으며, 계절별로는 12월과 1월 겨울철에 90%를 상회하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전국 317개소 관측 유량에 대해 기저유출을 분석한 결과 기저유출이 전국하천 유량에 기여하는 비율은 연평균 약 40%인 것으로 나타났으며, 지역별로 20% 미만~80% 이상인 것으로 예측되었다. 따라서 기저유출지표가 적은 지역에서는 주변 생태계 보전을 위해 지하수 이용과 개발을 제한하는 것이 타당할 것이다. 한편 금호강 유역을 대상으로 동일 기상조건에서 1975년과 2000년도 토지이용변화에 따른 기저유출 감소가 하천유량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 그 결과 도시화율 증가에 의해 하천유지유량의 경우 미달일수가 19일~24일 정도 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다.

When constructing tunnels, it is important to understand structural, geological and hydrogeological conditions. Geumgeong tunnel that has been constructed in Mt. Geumjeong for the Gyeongbu express railway induced rapid drawdown of groundwater in the tunnel construction area and surroundings. This study aimed to analyze groundwater flow system and baseflow using long-term monitoring and groundwater flow modeling around Geumgeong tunnel. Field hydraulic tests were carried out in order to estimate hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and storativity in the study area. Following the formula of Turc and groundwater flow modeling, the annual evapotranspiration and recharge rate including baseflow were estimated as 48% and 23% compared to annual precipitation, respectively. According to the transient modeling for 12 years after tunnel excavation, baseflow was estimated as 9,796 - 9,402 m3/day with a decreasing tendency.

국내 하천특성은 기후변화에 의한 계절별 기후변동성과 급속한 경제성장으로 인한 급격한 토지피복의 변화에 의하여 영향을 받아왔다. 이와 관련하여, 하천관리는 수자원이용 등 인간의 활동 뿐 아니라 생태계측면에서도 그 중요성이 커지고 있다. 하천관리의 첫 번째 단계인 직접유출과 기저유출을 포함한 하천특성을 이해하는 것은 지속적인 하천환경을 조성하기 위하여 지대한 기여를 할 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구의 목적은 효율적인 하천관리를 위해 직접유출과 기저유출을 정량화하여 하천에 미치는 기여도를 산정하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 한강수계에 위치한 71개의 유량관측소에 대하여 BFLOW와 WHAT 프로그램을 이용하여 기저유출 분리를 수행하였다. 그 결과 한강수계의 기저유출비는 0.42에서 0.78의 범위를 가지며, 기저유출비가 50%를 넘는 관측소는 전체 관측소의 76%를 차지하였다. 그러나 산출된 기저유출비는 댐, 저수지, 호수로부터의 방류량과 같은 인위적 영향 때문에 과다산정 되었을 가능성이 있다. 본 연구는 추후 국가적 차원에서 하천관리의 효율성과 안전성을 개선하기 위하여 전략적으로 하천 기능을 조절하는데 기여를 할 것으로 기대한다.

The water resources system of Jeju-do Island entirely depends on groundwater. This study is making a precision observation of baseflow, surface water, water shortage that might be vulnerable to climate change and drought in future. The field observation of baseflow discharges in Akgeuncheon stream has regularly been made with ADCP and ADC and Flowmate every two weeks for twenty-two (22) months (July 8, 2011 to April 27, 2013). This paper represent the results of calculating discharge of a number of hydraulic structures (broad-crested weirs) with comparing and has been calculated more accurate discharges with suitability of different observation methods. The average discharge has been observed 0.851 m3/s, whereas the average ADC and Flowmate is 0.709 m3/s. Meanwhile, stream discharge has been calculated 0.709 m3/s through the broad-crested weir equation. The discharge has calculated with the weir equation greatly changed according to even a small change in the water level. However, it showed a similar trend to one of the observed discharge. Although, in past there were generating errors caused by observers’ strides, vertical and horizontal flow velocity distribution when the average flow velocity had been measured, non-prismatic flow, turbulent flow and others in ADC. This study comes up with the weir equation is more suitable for the characteristics of Jeju-do could be presented through an observations of baseflow discharge.

Groundwater recharge from precipitation is affected by the infiltration from ground surface and the movement of soil water. Groundwater recharge is directly related to the groundwater amount and flow in aquifers, and baseflow to rivers. Determining groundwater recharge rate for a given watershed is a prerequisite to estimate sustainable groundwater resources. The estimation of groundwater recharge rate were carried out for three subwatersheds in the Wicheon watershed and two subwatersheds in the Pyungchang River basin and for the period 1990-2000, using the NRCS-CN method and the baseflow separation method. The recharge rate estimates were compared to each other. The result of estimation by the NRCS-CN method shows the average annual recharge rate 15.4-17.0% in the Wicheon watershed and 26.4- 26.8% in the Pyungchang River basin. The average annual recharge rates calculated by the baseflow separation method ranged 15.1-21.1% in the Wicheon watershed, and 25.2-33.4% in the Pyungchang River basin. The average annual recharge rates calculated by the NRCS-CN method is less variable than the baseflow separation method. However, the average annual recharge rates obtained from the two methods are not very different, except NO. 6 subwatershed in Pyungchang River basin.

Groundwater in Jeju Island, flowing through main stream, is spring water from underground. To set a fixed quantity of groundwater flowing from surface in a hydrological view, 4 downstream (Woedo stream, Gangjung stream, Yeonwoe stream and Ongpo stream) were selected to calculate the characteristic of baseflow and the baseflow discharge through the data on tachometry. There were 11 to 14 level peak caused by runoff, mostly occurred during monsoon season. Also, duration of runoff was 15 to 25 hours, well reflecting the characteristic of inclined, short stream length in Jeju Island and pervious hydrogeographical feature. In case of Gangjung stream, Yeonwoe stream and Ongpo stream, variation of stream water level by baseflow rose above during summer, which was closely linked to the distribution of seasonal precipitation. From autumn to spring, water level fell below while that of Woedo stream remained the same all year round. Data on the water level observed in Woedo stream and Gangjung stream in every single minutes was applied to weir formula(equation of Oki and Govinda Rao) to calculate baseflow discharge. Also, using the data on current and water level calculated in Ongpo stream and Yeonwoe stream, water level-water flow rating was applied to assess baseflow discharge.
