Ⅰ. Background and Aims of Research
oA decrease and aging in the farm household population, improvement in national income, and changes in dietary life over the past 50 years has caused an increase in the production of field crops such as vegetables and fruit trees, along with an increase in the area of oocultivated facilities. Recently, smart agriculture has received attention for year-round productivity and quality improvement of field crops, leading to changes in farming patterns along with facility cultivation.
oThe changes in farming patterns has requested clean water for agricultural use throughout the year, then uses of clean and thermally-stable groundwater have been increasing. Simultaneously, the concern about agricultural damage due to groundwater depletion and deterioration of groundwater quality is growing.
oTherefore, it is necessary to identify the issues of groundwater for agricultural use and to come up with a rational management strategies for agricultural groundwater in accordance with the basic national water management principles such as water cycle soundness, water demand management, and integrated water management.
oThis work aims to diagnose agricultural groundwater issues due to changes in farming patterns through statistical data analysis, previous research review, field case analysis and inquiry, interviews with residents and public officials, and collecting expert opinions. Then we present agricultural groundwater management strategies and policy tasks for solving the issues in the era of climate crisis.
