Background and objective• High salinity of the Busa estuary reservoir in

Korea, from which are being irrigated to up-per paddy fields in transplanting period.

• Inflow to Busa reservoir are restricted to outflows from upper Boryeong dam.

• To develop models for water balances of Bo-ryeong dam and Busa estuary reservoir, from which will be used to plan counter measures on high salinity in Busa reservoir.

Comparison of dekadal inflows (Daecheong dam, 1981-2001)

Water balance in Boryeong dam• S(i) = S(i-1) + Q(i) – EW(i) – SQ(i)• SQ(i) = DW(i) + IW(i)+ AW(i) + MW(i)

– S: water storage– O: inflow– SQ: water supply– EW: evaporation in water surface– DW: domestic water– IW: industrial water– AW: agricultural water– MW: instreamflow

• OV(i) = S(i) – FS, if H(i)>FH– OV: overflow– FS: full water storage– FH: full water level

Water balance of Busa reservoir• Inflow to Busa (QIbs) = SQ from Bo-

ryeong (SQbr)+ QI from lateral• SQ from Boryeong = IW + AW + MW

+ FW + OV• QI from lateral = Q – IW + DWr –

AWbr + AWrbr + AWrbs• IW = IWsh (Seohae) + IWbr (Bo-

ryeong)

• S(i) = S(i-1) + QIbs(i) + SQbr(i) – SQbs(i) - EWbs(i) – GW(i) – AWbs(i) – AWnp(i)

• SQbs = 1000×(-385.2 + 3527.9 (h + 1.5)) – h: water level of

Conclusion• Water balance models were con-

structed.• Upper Boryeong dam had not enough

capacity to supply various waters.• Water storages of lower Busa reser-

voir were well fitted to observed data.

• Using these developed models, up-per dam and lower reservoir will be able to operate effectively in high salinity period.
