It is investigated using ADCIRC model to find an optimal gate operation in order to maintain target water level of the inner Saemangeum Reservoir. Various developing procedures and river inflows conditions are considered in modeling. For the gate operations, consecutive openings to inflow and outflow, such as once a day, twice a day and once per two days are considered. However water level increases gradually due to river inflows regardless of gate operations. In order to maintain target level 0.0 m, it is recommended to shut down of gate in order to prevent inflows of outer sea water at least once per 6 days for normal riverine inflows and once per 3 days for flood inflows during consecutive operations. Then it is balanced within maximum of ${pm}0.4m$ of deviations from target level of 0.0 meter.
