Abstract

The research related to the groundwater level in Jeju has focused on the amount of rainfall and its hydrogeological characteristics so far. However, since the sensor technology has been used in many areas to measure the various types of natural phenomena recently, it allows us to perform advanced analysis on the groundwater in Jeju. In this paper, we consider wind speed, evaporation, temperature, humidity, and rainfall as the factors that can have influences on the groundwater level. We describe how the factors can affect the groundwater and how artificial neural networks can predict the groundwater level. We perform multiple regression and hierarchical linear model analysis. And then, we calculate the relative importance of the weather factors. We use data accumulated from 2003 to 2009 and perform data-oriented analysis rather than theoretical analysis. We divide Jeju region into four basins such as north (Jeju), south (Seogwipo), west (Gosan), and east (Sungsan).
