Abstract: In Korea, because it has been more difficult to construct new large hydraulic structure such as dam, several researches and studies have tried to use washland as an alternative of hydraulic facility. Due to sizes of washlands are usually smaller than those of dams or reservoirs, there can be many available locations in a basin and proper combination of these locations can reduce flood disasters efficiently. However, in case there are many available locations for washland and many combinations to consider, it is very difficult to determine the optimal combination which yields to provide the maximum benefit. In this study, new scheme which considers various design frequency is presented and new model for determination of optimal location of washland is developed by modifying existing model. The developed model was applied to the Ansung river basin in order to examine the applicability and the application result shows that developed model can be used as decision making model for washland.
