Discharge data in river is very important for hydrologic analysis of water resources. Generally, Hydrograph is used to indicate result of runoff in river. To obtain hydrograph, We should measure the change of actual discharge and stage. And rating curve is made by regression analysis using measured discharge and stage. Converted discharge data using basic rating curve includes large error because the river affected by backwater like lock gates of river mouth get a wide discharge deviation in the same stage level.
The most influence factor on the change of discharge in the same stage level is water surface slope. Therefore, the discharge variation will be decreased when water level-surface slope-water quantity relationship analysis is employed.
This study selected Pyeongtaek and Paengseong stage station affected by backwater according to lock gates operation in Asan bay located on the Anseong stream watershed and developed rating curve considering water surface slope using the gap of stage between upstream and downstream station.
Pyeongtaek stage station does not show significant backwater effect when it is raining, however, backwater effect is appeared in the low water level during normal period. So basic rating curve is applied in high water level and stage-fall-discharge rating curve is applied to make discharge data in In Pyeongtaek stage station. In the case of Paengseong station is impossible to make rating curve because backwater effect is appeared in every water level. Therefore, discharge of Pyeongtaek station were converted by stage-fall-discharge rating curve considering water surface slope for complete water level.
Constant fall discharge method is used to make stage-fall-discharge. Fall-discharge relation is analyzed to calculate constant fall -discharge about same stage and stage-discharge relation is applied regression analysis using fall -discharge relation about each falling. And Discharge is converted according to stage-discharge rating curve which has the greatest coefficient of determination and Falling -the rate of discharge rating curve.
As the result of comparison between converted flow and observed flow, rating curve considering water surface slope shows lower error than original basic rating curve. And the result of runoff rate shows a reasonable runoff rate, 54~93% compare to existed runoff rate. The measure of dispersion in the Paengseong station is bigger than Pyeongtaek stage station. Because Paengseong station is affected directly by backwater for complete water level. Therefore, when water surface slope and discharge are possible to be analyzed, high reliability discharge data will be generated in the other station where backwater effect is affected partially.
