ABSTRACT

This study examines changes of the rainfall condition in Korea according to Climate Change around world and the result of dam operation in this year. As the result, we try to figure out importance of multi-purpose dam for preventing water-related disasters and discuss how much the Flood Response System contributed to dam operation efficiency. Basically, it is very difficulty to manage water resources in Korea, because two-third of annual rainfall amount pour down during rainy season(June~September). Moreover, Climate Changes continue to increase uncertainty for weather prediction. In rainy season 2011, for the first time in Korean history, directly being affected by typhoon "MEARI" in June, and recorded the highest precipitation ever for three days. Besides, Seomjin-river multi-purpose dam was placed at risk from the worst floods ever recorded, but flood damage was minimized with the improved Flood Respose System before the rainy season. As a result, multi-purpose dams which are operated by K-water carried out the flood control duties faithfully.
