ABSTRACT

South Korea has experienced an increased number of flood disasters following the increased frequency of local rainfall occurrence. With an increasing frequency of floods, drought frequency and duration of drought have also increased. The rainfall and meteorological analysis showed that droughts occurred every 5 years, including the worst drought in 2015. Although Chungbuk province has an annual average rainfall of 1,212.7mm, it had 650.3mm in 2015 which was only 53.8% of normal year rainfall. In this study, the L-moment parameters were determined by applying an appropriate probability distribution to the annual minimum series data according to climate change scenarios at 5 rainfall stations in Chungbuk province. The frequency of drought rainfalls was computed for each continuing time by utilizing the appropriate probability distribution in the L-moment method. The drought rainfall computed in this paper can be used as fundamental data for designing drought measures and estimating regional drought rainfall.
