Abstract: Riverbank filtration (RBF) improves water quality and reduces pathogens by induced infiltration through the streambed and aquifer matrices. As the surface water quality deteriorates in Korea, RBF is considered as an alternative to the conventional source of water supply by local governments. This work presents the recent results from hydrologic monitoring efforts at a RBF site. Hydrological data was analyzed from a riverbank filtration site in the Nakdong River Basin to understand trends and the correlation between surface and subsurface water. A time-series model was developed to be used for simulation and forecasting of the groundwater level change. Outcomes from monitoring activities are expected to contribute to the establishment of more reliable water supply system using riverbank filtration.
