관개용 저수지의 퇴사량 추정을 위해 총 유실량-유사운송비법을 적용하고 대상 저수지의 유사 포착효율을 추정하는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. 관개용 저수지 20개를 선정하여 실측자료를 구하고 도양유실량식(Universal Soil Loss Equation, USLE)를 이용하여 저수지 유역의 연평균 토양유실량을 산정하였다. 총토양유실량은 경사지 토양유실량과 하도 유실량으로부터 정의되며 유사운송비를 적용하여 저수지 유입유사량을 정하였다. 저수지 포착효율을 적용한 추정 저수지 퇴사량과 특정 퇴사량자룔를 비교한 결과 대체로 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 저수지 포착효율은 퇴사량의 유입토사에 대한 비로서 본 연구의 결과가 Brune값과 비교하여 20% 정도의 오차를 보였으며 이를 개선한 관개용 저수지 포착효율 추정식을 제안하였다.
The objectives of this paper were to apply the gross erosion and sediment delivery ration method for estimating sediment deposits at selected reservoirs of various sizes, and to define their trap efficiencies. Twenty reservoirs that have sediment survey data were selected and the annual average soil losses from subareas within each watershed were estimated using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). The gross erosion was defined fro the soil losses and estimated channel erosion. By applying the sediment delivery ratios that were defined from an empirical relationship with watershed areas, net incoming sediment yields at reservoirs were defined. Trap efficiencies were applied, sediment deposits estimated, and compared to the surveyed data. The results were in general agreement with the data. Trap efficiencies were also defined from the ratios of sediment deposits to incoming sediment yields. They were within 20% differences from Brune curve, which indicates that Brune curve may be applied for irrigation reservoirs. And an empirical relationship was proposed, that appeared more reliable for estimating trap efficiencies for typical irrigation reservoirs.
