Abstract

As drought is phenomenon of nature with unavoidability and repeated characteristic, it is necessary to plan to respond to it in advance and construct drought management system to minimize its damage. This study suggested standard for classification of drought, which is appropriate for our nation to respond to drought by assessing drought severity in the regions for this study. For data collection, 61 locations were selected - the locations keep precipitation data over 30 years of observation. And data for monthly precipitation for 37 years from 1973 were used. Based on this, this study classified unified drought interval into four levels using drought situation phases which are used in government. For standard for classification of drought severity fit to our nation, status of main drought was referred and these are classified based on accumulated probability of drought - 98~100% Exceptional Drought, 94~98% Extreme Drought, 90~94% Severe Drought, 86~90% Moderate Drought. Drought index (SPI, PDSI) was made in descending order and quantitative value of drought index fit to standard of classification for drought severity was calculated. To compare classification results of drought severity of SPI and PDSI with actual drought, comparison by year and month unit were analyzed. As a result, in comparison by year and comparison by month unit of SPI, drought index of each location was mostly identical each other between actual records and analyzed value. But in comparison by month unit of PDSI for same period, actual records did not correspond to analyzed values. This means that further study about mutual supplement for these indexes is necessary.

가뭄은 불가피성과 반복성을 가진 자연 현상이므로 가뭄 발생 전 사전대비계획과 가뭄발생시 가뭄관리체계 구축을 통해 그 피해를 최소화해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 대상지역의 가뭄심도를 평가하여 가뭄상황에 대처하고자 우리나라에 적합한 가뭄 분류기준을 제시하였다. 관측년수 30년 이상의 강우자료를 확보한 61개 지점에 대해 1973년부터 37년 기간의 월강우량 자료를 사용하였고, 현재 국가에서 사용하고 있는 가뭄상황단계를 그대로 적용하여 가뭄 구간을 총 4등급으로 구분하였다. 기존의 주요 가뭄발생현황을 참고하여 우리나라에 맞는 가뭄심도의 분류기준을 가뭄 발생의 누가확률 98~100%는 예외적인 가뭄, 94-98%는 극심 가뭄, 90~94%는 심한 가뭄, 86~90%는 보통 가뭄으로 구분하였다. 각 지점의 가뭄지수(SPI, PDSI)를 내림차순으로 작성하여 가뭄심도 분류기준에 맞는 가뭄지수의 정량적 값을 산정하였다. SPI와 PDSI의 가뭄심도 분류 결과와 실제 가뭄을 비교하기 위해 년 단위 비교와 월 단위 비교를 분석한 결과, 년 단위 비교와 SPI의 월 단위 비교는 각 지역의 가뭄지수 평가가 대부분 일치하게 나타났으나 같은 기간의 PDSI의 월 단위 비교는 일치하지 않는 기간도 나타났다. 이는 이들 지수의 상호보완에 대한 추후 연구의 필요성을 보여주는 것으로 판단되었다.
