In the past, water-related disasters such as flood damage and drought were severe and frequently observed in South Korea. While recently, the occurrence probability of super typhoons in Korea is continuously increasing due to climate change. Therefore, 16 multi-purpose dams had been constructed and operated to mitigate the damages brought by water-related disasters, and also to obtain sufficient hydropower. Majority of the amount of annual precipitation is concentrated during the summer season, which includes several typhoons. Therefore, reservoir dam operations should be fortified especially during the summer season. For efficient dam operations, preventing the occurrence of flood damages and the reduction of dam discharge is achievable through the utilization of highly accurate rainfall-runoff models. In this study, a rainfall-runoff forecasting model was developed to provide inflow and water level information for supporting dam operators in decision making. The model is consisted of two sub-models, K-PPM(K-water Precipitation Prediction Model) and K-DRUM(K-water Distributed rainfall Runoff Model). The results from this study showed that forecasting capability of the model showed a remarkable agreement with the observed data. The model was verified through the use of Typhoon. Furthermore, the accuracy of the forecasted inflow data is dependent on the precipitation data. |
