Unsaturated/saturated groundwater flow and solute transport model, VSFRT2D(Variable Saturated Flow and Reactive Transport model) was developed considering effects of pumping, irrigation, and denitrification. VSFRT2D employed Richards equation as governing equation for groundwater flow and previously existing unsaturated models modified by including computational procedure of evapotranspiration at surface using Thornthwaite method when precipitation doesn't occur. Bioremediation processes based on monod kinetics are described using four nonlinear contaminant transport equations and three nonlinear microbes transport equations. The developed model was applied to field data in Hongsung area contaminated with nitrate. In order to identify the effect of precipitation, pumping, evapotranspiration, irrigation, fertilizer application, and various bioremediations on groundwater flow and contaminant transport, individual processes were separated and simulated. Then all results obtained from the individual processes are compared with each other. The simulation results show that bioremediation had a negligible effect on nitrate concentration change. However, pumping for irrigation, precipitation, and nitrogen fertilizer application showed profound influences on nitrate concentration change.

지하수위의 상승에 따른 간극수압의 증가는 사면의 불안정을 야기할 수 있다. 그러나 모델링 오차, 계측오차, 모델변수의 불확실성 등과 같은 오차로 인하여 사면에서의 지하수위 변동을 예측하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 이러한 불확실성을 극복하고 지하수위 변동을 평가하기 위한 최적의 모델변수를 구하기 위하여 역해석 기법이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 사면에서의 지하수위 변동을 예측하기 위하여 포화대에서의 지하수 흐름과 불포화대에서의 지하수 흐름을 동시에 고려할 수 있는 수치해석 모델과 변수예측기법을 적용하였다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 포화투수계수($K_{s}$ ), 포화흡인력($\psi$$_{e}$) 및 불포화 투수계수의 함수에 사용되는 경험적인 상수(b)를 주요 매개변수로 선정하여 역해석을 실시하였다. 그리고, 역해석 기법 가운데 Maximum Likelihood(MK), Maximum-A-Posterior(MAP) 및 Extended Bayesian Method(EBM)에 대하여 비교연구를 실시하였다. 위의 세가지 방법 가운데 EBM은 가상의 변수(Hyperparameter) $\beta$를 도입함으로써 현장계측치와 사전정보를 가장 잘 조화시키는 방법으로 다른 ML, MAP 보다 탁월한 방법인 것을 알 수 있었다.

난지도 매립지는 매립충의 불균질성과 고온의 침출수 및 가스의 흐름이 동시에 복합적으로 일어나는 현상 때문에 수리지질학적으로 매우 복잡한 지역이다. 난지도의 수문층서단위 조사와 디스크-장력 침투계(Disc tension Infiltrometer)로 불포화대 수리 특성을 추정하였으며 가스 거동 현상을 이해하기 위해 지온을 측정하였다. 매립지 주변의 지하수위 변화를 조사하기 위해 양수정과 다중-수위관측정(Multi-Level Monitoring Well)에서 수위변화를 관측하였다. 불포화대 수리특성과 기상자료를 바탕으로 매립지로의 순침투량을 추정하였다. 이것을 근거로 총 침출수 발생량을 추정하였으며, 기저 지하수면 상부에 분포하는 포화 침출수대, 즉 부유침출수의 생성 메카니즘에 대한 연구도 수행하였다.

The Nanjido Landfill has recently become one of the most important environmental sites for a hydrogeological study. Hydrogeological study was performed by understanding the current situation, analyzing hydrogeological information, and constructing a hydrogeological data base. The constructed data base was used for the analyses of several important phenomena in the Nanjido Landfill. Saturated hydraulic conductivity and underground temperature were measured. Based on the hydraulic conductivity and rainfall data, net infiltration rates were estimated. Leachate production rates are estimated by using the data base. The data base and a hydraulic model were used to understand the formation of the so called floating leachate layer.

The spatially integrated model (SIM) which can evaluate temporal variation of groundwater quality is proposed in the stream-aquifer setting entered by nonpoint source contaminants. And the developed SIM included unsaturated soil zone and was tested against the spatially distributed model (SDM) of the coupled advection-dispersion and Richards equations for the various hydrologic and aquifer simulating conditions. The result of the comparison showed that the average concentration responses of saturated aquifer and groundwater outflow between the SIM and the SDM was in good agreement, except for the case of the large dispersivity ratio and thick aquifer system. And it is shown that for the cases of the large dispersivity ratio and thick aquifer system the performance of the nonlinear SIM is better than that of the linear SIM for evaluating the average concentration of groundwater outflow response.
