Since South Korea relies on dams and agricultural reservoirs for approximately 45% of its annual agricultural water usage, the supply control of agricultural water based on its usage amount is essential for effective water resources management. The objective of the study, therefore, is to suggest an alternative to the agricultural water supply from the Hoengseong Dam using the threshold curve of usage record that was suggested in the previous study. The characteristics of agricultural water usage and Usage Rate compared to the Permission amount (URP) threshold curve of the Seom River basin, which is defined as the thresholds of the maximum usage rate of agricultural water in each hydrological condition, were derived and analyzed using the historical record of runoff and agricultural water usage. The agricultural water supply of the Hoengseong Dam was simulated from 2006 to 2021 according to the URP threshold curve. As a result, it was found that the agricultural water usage rate of the Seom River Basin can be up to 106.5% even with the average hydrological condition compared to normal years. It was also shown that about 1.7 million m3 of agricultural water could be stored by applying the URP threshold curve to the agricultural water supply of the Hoengseong Dam annually. |
