Abstract

Environmental flows in the downstream sections of Yongdam Dam, Wonju Stream Dam, and Hongcheon River were estimated with selected target fish species such as Nigra for the site of Yongdam Dam, Splendidus for the site of Wonju Stream Dam, and Signifer for the site of Hongcheon River by considering endangered and domestic species. Physical habitat analysis was performed to estimate environmental flows for the study sites by applying the Physical Habitat Simulation (PHABSIM) and RIVER2D which combined hydraulic and habitat models. Based on the monitored data for ecological environment, the Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) for the target species was estimated by applying the Instream Flow and Aquatic Systems Group (IFASG). In particular, based on the result of fish monitoring, the HSI for each stage of the growth for target species was analyzed. As a result, the Weighted Usable Area (WUA) was maximized at 4.9 m3/s of flow discharge during spawning, 5.8 m3/s during the period of juvenile, and 8.9 m3/s during the adult fish season at the downstream section of Yongdam Dam. The result of the Wonju Stream Dam showed an optimal environmental flow of 0.4 m3/s, 1.0 m3/s, and 1.5 m3/s during the period of spawning, juvenile, and adult. The habitat analysis for the site of Hongcheon River, which is a non-regulated stream, produced an optimum environmental flow of 5 m3/s in the spawning period, 4 m3/s in the juvenile stage and 6 m3/s in the adult stage.

본 연구에서는 용담댐 하류, 원주천댐, 홍천강을 대상으로 환경생태유량을 산정하였으며, 멸종위기종 및 국내고유종을 고려한 대상어종으로 용담댐 하류는 감돌고기, 원주천댐은 쉬리, 홍천강은 묵납자루를 선정하여 각 하천에서 환경생태유량을 산정하였다. 환경생태유량을 산정을 위한 물리서식처 분석은 수리모형과 서식처 모형이 결합된 Physical Habitat Simulation (PHABSIM)과 RIVER2D를 적용하여 수행하였다. 생태 환경 모니터링을 통해 연구 대상지별 대상종의 서식처 적합도 지수를 Instream Flow and Aquatic Systems Group (IFASG) 방법을 적용하여 성장단계별 서식처 작합도 지수를 산정하였다. 특히 어류 모니터링 성과를 바탕으로 대상종의 성장단계별 서식처 적합도 지수를 산정하였다. PHABSIM을 활용한 분석 결과, 조절 하천인 용담댐 하류에서 산란기에는 4.9 m3/s, 치어기 5.8 m3/s, 성어기에는 8.9 m3/s에서 가중가용면적이 최대인 최적 환경생태유량이었다. 원주천댐에서는 쉬리의 산란기에는 0.4 m3/s, 치어기에는 1.0 m3/s, 그리고 성어기에는 1.5 m3/s의 최적 환경생태유량을 나타내었다. 또한 비조절하천인 홍천강에서는 묵납자루의 산란기 5 m3/s, 치어기 4 m3/s, 그리고 성어기에는 6 m3/s의 최적 환경생태유량이 산정되었다.
