| Resource Purpose |
Since very few studies have been conducted within the KRWto investigate land-use change and groundwater–surface water interaction, the objective of this study is to fill that gap. Land-use change within the KRW from 1984 to 2010 was captured using a remote-sensing technique, and the PART program was applied to separate groundwater contribution from stream-flow records within the basin. The groundwater contribution to stream flow was quantified on a monthly time scale for a five-year period from 2007 to 2011. The gridded surface-subsurface hydrological analysis (GSSHA; Downer, 2002) was also used to determine groundwater-flow direction in the KRW. |
