2 Background and Objective Current drought occurrence in Korea ( ) Minor or serious drought occurrence per 2-3 year cycle, but almost every year since Precipitation yr Ave Rainfall 2008 Rainfall 2008 년가뭄 Main Causes of drought occurrence Imbalance of water budget mainly due to rainfall deficiency and temperature increase Lack of rainfalls from June to August during summer flooding season Low impact of Jangmaand Typhoon during rainy season Impact of El Niño, La Niña phenomena in the worldwide Precipitation yr Ave Rainfall 1994 Rainfall 1994 년가뭄 Time (monthly) Objectives To introduce our drought experience in Korea To address our current efforts for drought monitoring and outlook system development

3 Drought in Korea Drought conditions SPI drought maps during April-November, 2015 Apr. May Jun. Jul. Aug. Sep. Oct. Nov

4 Precipitation condition (Meteorological drought) Annual precipitation in 2015 is recorded only 72% (3 rd lowest year) of normal year (1307.7mm) -Precipitation in May-September is 34-62% of normal year(982.4mm) - Almost all regions has lower precipitation except for southern coast region, especially less than 60% in central regions 2015 cumulative prec.

7 Drought causes& 2016 Drought Forecast 2015 Drought Causes Precipitation during flood season (May-September) is only 34-62% of normal year Water ratios of multipurpose and agricultural reservoir are decreased due to less precipitation Failure to secure water storage in water facilities due to 2-year continuous less precipitation (2014, 2015) Precipitation in May-July of 2014 is one-third of normal year level, 4 th lowest record since 1973 River Precipitation (mm) Normal Average Ratio(%) Han Nakdong Geum Seomjin AVE Precipitation (mm) Water Level (m) mm 172.7m Time (year)!?!? Daily Precipitation Water Level Low-water Level Drought prospect in Spring season, 2016 Domestic, industrial and agricultural water use in 2016 Agricultural and Hydrological droughts are expected due to less reservoir water storage

8 Drought Management Status and Problems Drought management Agencies KMA (Korea Meteorological Administration) Provide various meteorological drought indices through KMA web site Information : Precipitation, Temperature, SPI, PDSI, PN K-Water(Korea Water Resources Corporation) Estimate and provide various hydrological drought indices Information : Dam inflow, GW level, WADI, MSWSI KRE (Korea Rural Community Corporation) Provide agriculture drought information on web Information : Reservoir storage ratio index, No-rainy day index, Normal ratio MPSS (Ministry of Public Safety and Security) Establish the social security framework through the enhancement of institutional drought protection capacity Information : Socioeconomic Drought Index Meteorological Drought Drought Mornitoring & Management Hydrological Drought Agricultural Drought Social-Economic Drought Problems Insufficient understanding of drought task and different drought information between agencies Lack of drought prediction/outlook system compare to drought monitoring system
