Abstract

An Idea to estimate flexible criteria for river water use permits was proposed that takes the spatio-temporal flow variation along the river into account, which was applied to the Keumho River, one of the tributary of the Nakdong River in Korea. This idea implies the temporal division of four periods with different criteria, combining flood/non-flood seasons and irrigation/non-irrigation periods, while a single one has been applied throughout the year in the current practice. Through flow regime analysis of daily natural flow simulations at Dongchon and Seongseo, the control points of the study area, Q355 and 1Q10 for non-flood and non-irrigation period, Q275 for non-flood and irrigation period, Q185 for flood and irrigation period were suggested respectively. So, those values that subtract instream flow were determined as the flexible criteria in each season. From the comparison of current practice and the proposed method, it was estimated that 10.6 million m³/year is available for more water use permits without additional development of water storage. Therefore, it is conceived that flexible criteria for river water use permission suggested in this study can contribute to improve the national policies for more efficient water resources management in the future.

시·공간적 유량변화를 반영한 탄력적인 하천수 사용허가 기준유량 설정 방법을 개발하고 이를 금호강 유역에 적용하여 현재 관리방식과 비교․평가하였다. 홍수기/이수기, 관개기/비관개기를 고려하여 4개의 시기로 구분하고, SWAT모형의 10년간 일별 모의 자연유량을 활용하여 유역내 주요지점인 동촌과 성서 수위관측지점에서 각 기간별 안정적으로 흐르는 유량(기준갈수량, 저수량, 평수량, 평균갈수량)을 판단하였다. 금호강 19개 표준유역의 4개 시기별 안정적으로 흐르는 유량에서 하천유지유량을 제외한 값을 시기별 허가기준유량으로 설정하고 하천수 허가량과 회귀량을 고려하여 가용유량을 산정하였다. 현재 연중 일정하게 적용되는 하천수 사용허가 기준유량(기준갈수량에서 유지유량을 제외한 값)과 본 연구에서 제시한 탄력적 기준유량을 적용하였을 때를 비교한 결과, 추가적인 수자원 확보시설을 건설하지 않고도 10.6 백만m³/년의 가용수량을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 개발된 시·공간적 유량변화를 고려한 탄력적 하천관리 기준유량 산정 방안은 효율적인 물이용을 위한 정책 개선에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.
