RWM을 활용한 토석류 피해예측지도의 사방댐 효과 적용 가능성 검토

Abstract

Debris flow transports lots of sediments downstream that cause damage to human lives and properties. The accurate estimation of the debris flow hazard zone is a critical factor of the successful early-warning and evacuation for reducing the debris flow risk. Korea Forest Service has developed a debris flow hazard map using Random Walk Model (RWM). Meanwhile, because check dams in forest watersheds capture discharged debris, the effect of check dams should be considered for mapping the debris flow hazard zone. This study analyzed the effect of check dams on debris flow discharge using RWM with the check dam module. As a result, RWM seems to simulate the sediment capture by check dams. However, the total deposit areas were not significantly different despite the effect of check dams because of input parameters and the flow direction calculation algorithm of RWM. Further studies on appropriate spatial resolution and initial sediment volume should be conducted to improve the debris flow hazard map.
