The Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program 5 (WASP5) and Hydrologic Engineering Centre (HEC-2) models have been coupled and applied to find the possibility of simulation of long-term river water quality variation. The chlorophyll-a concentration in the main river was estimated by changing the PO4−P and/or NH3−N concentrations flowing from tributaries. The study results show that the trend of longitudinal variation of simulated water quality variables is consistent with that of measured water quality variables. The variation of chlorophyll-a concentration in the main river was almost negligible except when both NH3−N and PO4−P concentrations from Gab stream and Miho stream are decreased by about 70%. Based on the study results, it can be concluded that the coupled water quality prediction model is highly applicable to this regulated large river for water quality management.

In this study, the frequency, intensity, and duration of Aphanizomenon occurrence were increased with the abnormal drawdown of water level in the winter in Boryeong Reservoir, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of them are compared with each other in the perspective of hydrometeorology (1998 to 2017) and limnology (2010 to 2017). In Korea, Aphanizomenon flourished mainly in high temperature, and the appearance in the low temperature was rare in total five times. The harmful cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon was observed in the low temperature (December to February) in Boryeong Reservoir from 2014, and then reached a maximum value of 2,160 cells mL-1 in January 2017. In addition, the period exceeding 1,000 cells mL-1 at this time was more than 3 months. This was simultaneously associated with abnormal water level fluctuation in the low temperature (<10℃). The large drawdown of water level in the winter season has the potential to promote or amplify the germination and development of harmful algae. Also, subsequent water quality and ecological impacts (e.g., algal toxins and off-flavor substances) need to be considered carefully.
