4 Precipitation and Runoffs Average yearly precipitation: 1,245 mm (1. 4 times higher than the world average) Per capita annual precipitation: 2,591 m³ (1/8 of the world average) 1. 4 times higher than the world avg. 880 mm 1,245 mm World avg. Korea avg. Yearly precipitation 1/8 of the world avg. 19,635 2,591 World avg. Korea avg. Per capita annual precipitation 75% of precipitation and runoffs are concentrated from Jun. to Sep. Precipitation concentrated in Summer repeated floods and droughts 20,000 18,000 16,000 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000-1 월 2 월 3 월 4 월 5 월 6 월 7 월 8 월 9 월 10 월 11 월 12 월 Average monthly runoff (Unit: million m3 )

5 Overview of Rivers in Korea Relatively short and highly sloped Large peak discharge Wide flow fluctuation (avg. coefficient of river regime=300) * Coefficient of river regime = maximum flow/ minimum flow (Thames 8, Seine 23, Rhein 18) Altitude Colorado Han Seine Mekong Nak-Dong Flow (m 3 /s) Han Tennessee Distant from the river mouth Slope (km) Flood hydrograph day

6 Status of Basin Five Major Basins Han River : 35,770 km 2, length 494 km Nakdong River : 23,384 km 2, length 510 km Geum River : 9,912 km 2, length 398 km Seomjin River : 4,912 km 2, length 224 km Yongsan River : 3,468 km 2, length 137 km

7 Water Resources Total water resources(1,240, 100%) (unit : 100million m3 /year) Runoff(723, 58%) Loss(517, 42%) Runoff during floods (522, 42%) Runoff during normalcy (201, 16%) Runoff to sea (386, 31%) River maintenance (123, 10%) Dams (177, 14%) Groundwater (37, 3%) Total usage(337, 27%)

8 Increase in Localized heavy rain & flood Increase in frequency of heavy rain over 100mm per 1 day (1.7 times to 1970 s) Annual average frequency of disaster : Increase from 5. 3 (1940~1970) to 8. 8(1980~ 1999) Since 2000, increase sharply in damages caused by typhoons such as RUSA (in 2002) and MAEMI(in 2003) 100mm Rainy 이상 days 강우발생일수 over 100mm 강수일수 Rainy days 경향성 Trend 연 Year 도
