In South Korea, total sixteen river dams have been constructed across four major rivers (the Han, Nakdong, Geum, and Yeongsan rivers) for the purpose of control flood and more efficient water resources. However, after the construction of the river dams groundwater level rose up adjacent to the upstream regions of the river dams especially in wet season. This study was carried out to reveal groundwater change due to the Haman River dam located in the downstream of the Nakdong River. For the study we analyzed cross correlation among groundwater level, electrical conductivity (EC), and river level. Groundwater level and EC were periodically measured at 62 locations in the riparian zone of the tributaries (Gwangryeo Stream, Iryeong Stream, and Yeongsan Stream) of the Nakdong River during the past 40 months (May 2011?September 2013). The relationship of the measured groundwater level and the river level data were also estimated with the influence of rainfall. A preliminary result of the study revealed that the groundwaters level rose up an average of 1.65 m during the studied period. The groundwater level and river level have a relatively good correlation with cross-correlation function of -0.31 to 0.91 and with response time of 0 to 360 hours which is better than the correlation between the groundwater level and rainfall. Hence, it evidences that the groundwater level rise and river level rise due to the to the Haman River dam have a relatively close correlation in this area. Furthermore, even better cross-correlation appeared between EC and river level. |
