Abstract

In this study, one of the distributed hydrologic models, VELAS, was used to analyze the variation of hydrologic elements based on water balance analysis to evaluate the groundwater recharge in more detail than the annual time scale for the past and future. The study area is located in Yanggok-ri, Seobu-myeon, Hongseong-gun, Chungnam-do, which is very vulnerable to drought. To implement the VELAS model, spatial characteristic data such as digital elevation model (DEM), vegetation, and slope were established, and GIS data were constructed through spatial interpolation on the daily air temperature, precipitation, average wind speed, and relative humidity of the Korea Meteorological Stations. The results of the analysis showed that annual precipitation was 799.1-1750.8 mm, average 1210.7 mm, groundwater recharge of 28.8-492.9 mm, and average 196.9 mm over the past 18 years from 2001 to 2018 in the study area. Annual groundwater recharge rate compared to annual precipitation was from 3.6 to 28.2% with a very large variation and average 14.9%. By the climate change RCP 8.5 scenario, the annual precipitation from 2019 to 2100 was 572.8-1996.5 mm (average 1078.4 mm) and groundwater recharge of 26.7–432.5 mm (average precipitation 16.2%). The annual groundwater recharge rates in the future were projected from 2.8% to 45.1%, 18.2% on average. The components that make up the water balance were well correlated with precipitation, especially in the annual data rather than the daily data. However, the amount of evapotranspiration seems to be more affected by other climatic factors such as temperature. Groundwater recharge in more detailed time scale rather than annual scale is expected to provide basic data that can be used for groundwater development and management if precipitation are severely varied by time, such as droughts or floods.

본 연구는 과거와 미래의 연 단위보다 상세한 일단위 지하수 함양량을 평가하기 위해, 분포형 수문모형중의 하나인 VELAS를 이용하여 물수지에 근거한 수문요소별 변동을 분석하고자 하였다. 가뭄에 매우 취약한 충남 홍성군 서부면 양곡리 일대 소유역을 대상으로, VELAS의 입력자료인 수치표고모델, 식생도, 경사도 등의 공간특성자료를 구축하였고, 기후자료는 기상청의 일별 대기온도, 강수, 평균풍속, 상대습도 등의 자료를 공간적으로 보간하였다. 연구지역의 과거 2001년부터 2018년까지 18년 동안 일단위 물수지 분석결과, 연간 강수량은 799.1~1750.8 mm로 평균 1210.7 mm이고, 지하수 함양량은 28.8~492.9 mm로 평균 196.9 mm로 분석되었다. 연 강수량 대비 지하수 함양률은 최소 3.6%에서 최대 28.2%로 변동폭이 매우 크고, 평균 함양률은 14.9%였다. 미래 기후변화 RCP 8.5시나리오에 의한 2019년부터 2100년까지의 일단위 물수지 분석결과, 연간 강수량은 572.8~1996.5 mm(평균 1078.4 mm)이고, 지하수함양량은 26.7~432.5 mm, 평균 174.6 mm(평균 강수량의 16.2%)로서 과거보다 다소 증가하였다. 미래 연간 지하수 함양률은 최소 2.8%, 최대 45.1%, 평균 18.2%로 분석되었다. 물수지를 구성하는 요소들은 강수량과의 상관성이 잘 나타나며, 일단위보다는 연단위로 갈수록 그러한 상관성이 뚜렷했다. 다만, 증발산량은 강수량보다는 기온 등 다른 기후요소에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다. 본 연구를 통해 산정된 연단위 보다 상세 시간 단위에서의 지하수함양량은 가뭄 또는 홍수 등 시기별로 강수량 변동이 심한 경우 지하수개발과 관리에 활용될 수 있는 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
