Changes in river have brought to the change of groundwater hydrogeology and water quality. Also, the understanding
of the interaction of groundwater and surface water is essential for the managing of effective water resource.
In case of South Korea, there is increasing the interest of groundwater development and management in riverside
through large river maintenance projects lately. The river water level was elevated than in the past and it is expected
to the changes in the interaction between the existing groundwater and surface. This study analyzed the relationship
between surrounding river water level and groundwater level in the 91 locations of groundwater observation
wells, also was supposed to classify the similar pattern of groundwater by performing multivariate analysis. At
the result of factor analysis, it is shown that the high and low factor in correlation between river water level and
groundwater level were caused by receiving the significant external influence. In the result of cluster analysis, the
middle and upper area of river were similar to the fluctuation pattern with river water level and groundwater level
and the downstream area of river was shown with a low correlation. This is due to the characteristic showing a
distribution of the alluvium in various types at the downstream area in compared to middle and upper area. In the
future, the research is undergoing to analyze the time series of a point in time to account for the external influences
of the effects on the groundwater level.
