Abstract

Due to climate change, parts of Korea are experiencing large and small droughts every 2-3 years and extreme droughts every 7 years. Since most droughts occur mainly in areas where small water supply facilities in the tributaries or upstream are located, more research on technology for securing water in these areas is required. In this study, a drought evaluation using SPEI (Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index), SDI (Streamflow Drought Index), and WBDI (Water Budget-based Drought Index) was performed to investigate hydrological drought in the Mulrocheon watershed of Chuncheon, a vulnerable area in terms of water supply. As a result of calculating hydrological drought indices SPEI and SDI, examining each duration, it was confirmed that the common drought in 2014 did not recover and continued until 2015. In the hydrological drought index evaluation result by WBDI, a very severe drought condition was observed in the spring of 2015 following 2014, and that drought was the most severe at -1.94 in November 2017. As a result of deriving a SDF (Severity-Duration-Frequency) curve through frequency analysis by duration using the drought index calculated on a monthly basis from 2003 to 2019 (17 years), most droughts in the Mulrocheon watershed were found to have a return period of less than 10 years, but droughts that occurred in 2014, 2015, and 2019 were found to cover more than 20 years, respectively.

최근 기후변화로 인하여 우리나라는 지역에 따라 2~3년 마다 크고 작은 가뭄과 7년 주기의 극한 가뭄이 발생하고 있다. 대부분의 가뭄이 지류 또는 상류의 소규모 용수공급시설이 위치한 지역에서 주로 발생되므로 이 지역에 대한 용수확보 기술에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 물공급 취약지역의 하나인 춘천 물로천 유역의 수문학적 가뭄을 조사하기 위해 SPEI, SDI, WBDI를 이용한 가뭄 평가를 수행하였다. 수문학적 가뭄지수인 SPEI와 SDI를 산정한 결과, 공통적으로 2014년에 발생한 가뭄으로 인해 회복되지 못하고 2015년까지 지속된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. WBDI에 의한 수문학적 가뭄지수 평가결과에서는 2014년에 이은 2015년 봄철에 매우 심한가뭄 상태를 보였으며, 2017년 11월에 -1.94로 가장 가뭄이 심했던 것으로 분석되었다. 2003~2019년 (17년)의 월 단위로 산정된 수문학적 가뭄지수를 활용하여 지속기간 및 심도에 따른 코플라 함수를 적용한 이변량 빈도해석 결과, 물로천 유역의 가뭄은 대부분의 10년 빈도 이하의 값으로 나타났으나, 2014년, 2015년, 2019년에 발생한 가뭄의 경우 각각 20년 이상의 재현기간을 갖는 심한가뭄으로 분석되었다.
