Abstract

SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool)-MODFLOW (Modular Groundwater Flow) is a coupled model that linking semi-distributed watershed hydrology with fully-distributed groundwater behavior. In this study, the groundwater simulation results of SWAT and SWAT-MODFLOW were compared for Bokhacheon watershed in Namhan river basin. The models were calibrated and validated with 9 years (2009~2017) daily streamflow (Q) data of Heungcheon (HC) water level gauge station and the daily groundwater level observation data of Yulheon (YH). For SWAT, the groundwater parameters of GW_DELAY, GWQMN, and ALPHA_BF affecting baseflow and recession phase were treated. The SWAT results showed the coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.7 and Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiencies (NES_Q, NSE_inQ) for Q and 1/Q with 0.73 and -0.1 respectively. For SWAT-MODFLOW, the spatio-temporal aquifer hydraulic conductivity (K, m/day), specific storage (S_s, 1/m), and specific yield (S_y) were applied. The SWAT-MODFLOW showed R², NSE_Q, and NSE_inQ of 0.69, 0.74, and 0.51 respectively. The SWAT-MODFLOW considerably enhanced the low flow simulation with the help of aquifer physical information. The total streamflow of SWAT and SWAT-MODFLOW were 718.6 mm and 854.9 mm occupying baseflow of 342.9 mm and 423.5 mm respectively.

SWAT (Soil Water Assessment Tool)-MODFLOW은 준분포형 연속강우유출모형과 분포형 지하수 모형을 결합한 모델이다. 본 연구는 남한강에 위치한 복하천 유역의 지하수에 대해 SWAT과 SWAT-MODFLOW의 모의결과를 비교평가 하였다. 두 모델간의 비교에 앞서 각 모델은 유역 내 흥천 수위 관측소의 일별 유출량 자료와 율현 지하수위 관측데이터의 9년(2009 ~ 2017년)의 자료로 보정 및 검증되었다. SWAT의 경우 기저유량과 감수위에 영향을 주는 GW_DELAY, GWQMN과 ALPHA_BF를 이용하여 보정하였고 그 결과 결정계수(R²)는 0.70, Nash-sutcliffe 모델효율(NSE_Q, NSE_inQ)은 각각 0.73, -0.1을 나타냈다. SWAT-MODFLOW의 경우는 토양속성별 대수층 수리전도도(K, m/day), 비저류량(S_s, 1/m), 비산출량(S_y) 및 유효토심(m) 자료가 추가로 적용되었다. 동일 기간의 모의 결과 R², NSE_Q, NSE_inQ는 각각 0.69, 0.74, 0.51을 나타냈다. 특히, SWAT-MODFLOW 적용결과 대수층의 수리지질학적 자료 입력을 통해 저유량 모의가 상당히 개선되었다. SWAT과 SWAT-MODFLOW의 총 유출량은 각각 718.6 mm, 854.9 mm이며 기저유량은 각각 342.9 mm, 423.5 mm로 산정되었다.
