Professor Moon-Seong Kang's research lab specializes in hydrological and water resource systems, with a strong focus on reservoir water balance, water quality management, and sustainable water use in complex environments such as estuarine and agricultural reservoirs. The lab integrates hydrological modeling, remote sensing, and field monitoring to address challenges related to water scarcity, pollution, and climate variability. Key research directions include the development of data-driven and model-based frameworks for inflow and outflow estimation, irrigation efficiency optimization, and the evaluation of pollution control measures in reservoir systems.

Abstract Quantifying reservoir water balance is an essential process for the efficient management of water resources. Water level records are often the only data available for reservoir analysis, which causes an ill‐posed problem in water resource system planning. This study proposes an analytical framework to estimate reservoir inflow and outflow from water level observations using hydrological models and reasoning carefully derived from expert knowledge and soft data. Partial reservoir inflow
The combined effect of limited water resources and ever-growing water demand necessitates the use of more-accurate approaches for reservoir water-balance analyses. Therefore, this study aims to develop a new operational scheme by considering flood control and variations in irrigation efficiency for simulating reservoir water-balance components. This study is conducted on three reservoirs in Korea, which were monitored for 4 years. Based on the findings of the sensitivity analyses, irrigation eff
Simulink, an extension of MATLAB, is a graphics-based model development environment for system modeling and simulation. Simulink’s user-friendly features, including block (data process) and arrow (data transfer) objects, a large number of existing blocks, no need to write codes, and a drag and drop interface, provide modelers with an easy development environment. In this study, a Tank model was developed using Simulink and applied to a rainfall-runoff simulation for a study watershed to demonstr
Estuarine reservoirs are available for use in various water resource systems. In agriculture, supplying irrigation water that meets water quality standards is essential for food safety. This study focused on the Ganwol estuarine reservoir in the midwestern region of South Korea, which suffers from water quality deterioration problems. To explore the water quality improvement in an estuarine reservoir, it is essential to understand the characteristics of water quality changes in the reservoir fol
In Korea, estuary reservoirs are one of the main water resources for agriculture, generally used for water supply, while ensuring an appropriate water level. The recent inflow of pollutants from watersheds is aggravating water pollution problems in these reservoirs; to address this issue, the government has implemented effective measures, including the control of water level and basin-management measures. Effective water-level management of estuary reservoirs can reduce the environmental impact
Nutrients and sediments in runoff lead to the degradation of water quality of lakes and streams. The development of schemes to mitigate such degradation requires a characterization of the underlying transport processes. The objectives of this study were to develop annual and seasonal load-discharge relationships for suspended sediment (SS), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) losses from a small mixed land use watershed and to use these relationships to explicate the annual and monthl
In this study, changes in the water cycle of watersheds due to climate change were analyzed by evaluating direct runoff-based water cycle, and the impact of agricultural reservoirs on water cycle improvement was assessed. The watershed model, Hydrological Simulation Program–Fortran, and the reservoir model, Module-based hydrologic Analysis System for Agricultural watersheds, were linked to analyze the hydrologic components of watersheds, including irrigation reservoirs.

The objective of this research was to apply the flood vulnerability assessment to ungauged reservoirs for prioritizing and evaluating the reservoir rehabilitation according to climate change. The flood vulnerability index (FVI) can quantitatively compare the flood vulnerabilities of the analysis targets and can be used for the relative comparison of hydraulic structures to determine the reinforcement priority. In this study, we proposed a simple FVI that contained exposure and adaptive capacity
