Abstract

In this study, a criteria for the SWAT model calibration method in SWAT-CUP which considers multi-site and multi-variable observations was presented. For its application, the SWAT model was simulated using long-term observed flow, soil moisture, and evapotranspiration data in Yongdam study watershed, investigating the hydrological runoff characteristics and water balance in the water cycle analysis. The model was calibrated with different parameter values for each sub-watershed in order to reflect the characteristics of multiple observations through one-by-one calibration, appropriate settings of model simulation run/iteration number (1,000 simulation runs in the first iteration and then 500 simulation runs for the following iterations), and executions of partial and all run in SWAT-CUP. The flow simulation results of watershed outlet point, E_NS 0.85, R² 0.87, and PBIAS -7.6%, were compared with the analysis results (E_NS 0.52, R² 0.54, and PBIAS -22.4%) applied in the other batch (i.e., non one-by-one) calibration approach and showed better performances of proposed method. From the simulation results of a total of 15 years, it was found that the total runoff (streamflow) and evapotranspiration rates from precipitation are 53 and 39%, and the ratio of surface runoff and baseflow (i.e., sum of lateral and return flow, and recharge deep aquifer) are 35 and 65%, respectively, in Yongdam watershed. In addition, the analytical amount of available water (i.e., water yield), including the total annual streamflow (daily average 21.8 m³/sec) is 6.96 billion m³ per year (about 540 to 900 mm for sub-watersheds).

본 연구에서는 SWAT-CUP을 이용한 SWAT 모형의 검·보정 과정에서 다중 관측 지점 및 변수를 고려한 분석의 기준을 제시하였으며, 이의 적용을 위해 용담시험유역에서 장기 관측된 유량, 토양수분량, 그리고 증발산량을 활용한 모의수행 및 유역의 수문 유출특성과 물순환 관점의 물수지를 검토하였다. 모형은 유역 내 다중 관측 자료의 특성을 반영할 수 있도록 순차적 보정 방법과 SWAT-CUP에서의 최적 매개변수 값 산정을 위한 모의 실행 및 반복 횟수 설정(초기 1,000회 모의 실행, 이후 500회 모의 반복), 그리고 전체 및 부분 수행 등을 통해 소유역별 각기 다른 매개변수 값으로 보정하였으며(유역출구 유량 E_NS 0.85, R ² 0.87, 그리고 PBIAS –7.6%), 이를 유역출구 지점에 대해 순차적이 아닌 일괄 적용한 분석결과(E_NS 0.52, R ² 0.54, 그리고 PBIAS –22.4%)와 비교하여 그 방법상의 우위를 확인하였다. 총 15개년의 모의 결과로부터 용담댐 유역의 직접유출은 35%, 기저 및 중간유출과 회귀유량을 합한 값은 65%로 전체 유출률은 53%이며, 증발산량은 전체 강우의 39%에 상당하는 양이 발생하는 것을 파악할 수 있었으며, 아울러 소유역별 연간 총 유출량(일평균 21.8 m³/sec) 등을 포함한 물이용 가능 수량은 연간 총 6.96억 m³으로 소유역별로는 약 540 ~ 900 mm로 분석되었다.
