For improving water quality and hish habitat environment the targeted instream flows added to the field
measurement of low flow at each reach along Wonju Cheon are calculated by depth, velocity, and the present lower
channel width with considering the landscape, aquatic environment, and natural ecological function. Target instream
flow increasing ranged from 0.03㎥/s of upstream to 0.90㎥/s of downstream according to the proposed depths of
0.10m to 0.30m and velocity of 0.2m/s. The methods for target instream flow increasing are base flow increasing
by watershed management, non polluted discharge inflow from valley and combined sewer by sewerage system
modification, and discharges from upstream reservoirs and detention basins near-by stream. The possible increasing
flow rates are 0.19㎥/s to 3.42㎥/s which are 1.4 to 2.5 times of low flow to be measured which are the equivalent
targeted instream flows along Wonju Cheon. The BOD-based water quality improvement are analyzed by QUAL2E.
The habitat suitability indices by PHABSIM of Zacco temmincki as target species at middle stream of Wonju
Cheon improve significantly by low flow increasing, which is very important to improve water quality and fish
habitat.
