Abstract: Research Background The rivers shared by border regions, such as the Imjin and North Han rivers, encounter difficulties in water resource management due to the one-sided operation of upstream dams (Imnam Dam). Temperature and rainfall are expected to increase due to climate change, but inadequate preparations have been made to address this, highlighting the need for future water resource management strategies. Hydropower dams (power, energy production) and flood disaster management are currently characterized by high uncertainty and low safety due to unilateral upstream operation. When considering the interdependence between climate and water quality, it is anticipated that climate change will also impact changes in water quality within the watershed. Research Purpose Estimating future changes in rainfall, runoff, and environmental factors through climate change scenarios. Applying distributional models including the upstream (North Korea) region to estimate future changes in flood runoff. Developing watershed water quality and environmental management strategies through future water quality change projections. Suggesting optimal future operational strategies for hydropower dams through climate change scenarios.
