Abstract

In recent years, the frequency of heavy rainfall associated with high rainfall intensity has been continuously increasing due to the effects of climate change; and thus also causes an increase in watershed soil erosion. The existing estimation techniques, used for the prediction of soil erosion in Korea have limitations in predicting the: average soil erosion in watersheds, and the soil erosion associated with abnormal short-term rainfall events. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of torrential rainfall, and utilize physics-based model to accurately determine the soil erosion characteristics of a watershed. In this study, the rainfall kinetic energy equation, in the form of power function, is proposed by applying the probability density function, to analyze the rainfall particle distribution. The distributed rainfall-erosion model, which utilizes the proposed rainfall kinetic energy equation, was utilized in this study to determine the soil erosion associated with various typhoon events that occurred at Cheoncheon watershed. As a result, the model efficiency parameters of the model for NSE and RMSE are 0.036 and 4.995 ppm, respectively. Therefore, the suggested soil erosion model, coupled with the proposed rainfall-energy estimation, shows accurate results in predicting soil erosion in a watershed due to short-term rainfall events.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 단기간동안 높은 강우강도의 집중호우 빈도가 증가하고 있어 토양침식의 위험도가 증가할 것으로 보고 있다. 국내에서 적용하고 있는 토양침식 산정기법은 유역에서 발생하는 연 평균 토양침식을 예측하고 단기간에 발생하는 특별한 호우사상의 특징을 고려하여 침식을 예측하는 데 한계를 지니고 있다. 따라서 단기간에 발생하는 토양침식을 보다 합리적으로 해석하기 위해서는 단기 호우사상의 특징을 반영하고 침식과정을 물리적으로 해석할 수 있는 모형을 적용할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 단기호우사상에 의한 토양침식을 산정하기 위하여 강우강도별 강우입자분포자료를 수집하였고 확률밀도함수를 적용하여 멱함수 형태의 강우운동에너지 산정공식을 제안하였다. 제안한 강우에너지 산정공식을 물리적 기반의 토양침식 모델에 적용하여 천천유역에서 발생한 2002년 2003년, 2007년 태풍 호우사상에 적용하였다. 그 결과, NSE는 0.036 증가하였고 RMSE는 4.995 ppm 감소한 결과를 보여 제안된 강우에너지 산정공식을 적용한 모형이 단기호우사상에 의한 유사유출을 잘 모의하는 것으로 나타났다.
