도시화가 진행됨에 따라 불투수지역이 늘어나는 등 개발전과 다른 지표 및 지표하 유출이 나타나며, 이러한 변화는 생태적, 수문학적으로 대규모 변화가 나타나는 것을 의미한다. 이에 따라 물관리, 물순환 등 물 지속 가능성은 대중의 관심을 받아 법, 제도가 변화하며 도시화에 대한 세심한 접근과 관리에 대한 계획이 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 저영향개발(Low Impact Development)은 이러한 도시화로 인해 발생될 수 있는 문제를 해결하기 위한 방안의 하나로 제안되고 있으며 첨두 및 유출총량을 완화하여 개발 이전 상태의 수문학적 기능을 유지하거나 물리학 및 생물학적 기작을 통해 오염물질의 저감효과도 나타나 대규모 도시개발 및 유역관리 사업에서 저영향개발기법의 적용이 점차 늘어나고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 저영향개발기법 설치에 관한 구체적인 매뉴얼 또는 가이드라인이 부족한 실정이기 때문에 저영향개발기법이 계획단계에서 양적으로 무분별하게 적용되어 비용적 측면에서 시공자에게 부담을 가중시키는 등의 문제가 발생한다. 또한 시설의 위치에 따라 강우유출수 및 비점오염원 저감에 대한 효과가 상이하기 때문에 시설의 적정 위치선정 및 시설용량, 경제성을 고려한 시설효과 검토 등 저영향개발기법 적용시 사업부지 특성에 따른 최적화를 고려하여 계획 및 설계에 적용할 필요성이 있다. 이에 비용적 측면을 고려한 최적설계가 가능한 SWMM-ING(Storm Water Management Model - Low impact development desigN proGram)을 개발된 바 있다. SWMM-ING은 비전문가도 사용이 가능하도록 저영향개발기법 최적화과정이 간단하고 직관적이며 비용을 고려한 최적설계가 가능하도록 개발된 소프트웨어로 기법 적용시 개략적인 비용추정 및 배치선정 등 저영향개발기법의 설계최적화가 가능하다. 또한 각각의 저영향개발기법에 대한 초기설치비용, 유지관리비용, 이자율, 기대수명, 대상지역 내 공간적 위치를 반영하여 강우유출수 및 비점오염저감효과를 시나리오별로 제시가 가능한 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWMM-ING를 이용하여 대규모 도시개발부지의 저영향개발기법 적용에 따른 유량 및 수질저감효과를 평가하고 유지관리비를 포함한 비용을 추정하여 최적설계 검토를 수행하였다.

Prevalent construction of impermeable pavements in urban areas causes diverse water-related environmental issues, such as lowering ground water levels and shortage of water supply for the living. In order to resolve such problems, a rainwater reservoir can be an effective and useful solution. The rainwater reservoir facilitates the hydrologic cycle in urban areas by temporarily retaining precipitation-runoff within a shallow subsurface layer for later use in a dry season. However, in order to use the stored water of precipitation-runoff, non-point source pollutants mostly retained in initial rainfall should be removed before being stored in the reservoir. Therefore, the purification system to filter out the non-point source pollutants is essential for the rainwater reservoir. The conventional soil filtration technology is well known to be able to capture non-point source pollutants in a economical and efficient way. This study adopted a sand filter layer (SFL) as a non-point source pollutant removal system in the rainwater reservoir, and conducted a series of lab-scale chamber tests and field tests to evaluate the pollutant removal efficiency and applicability of SFL. During the laboratory chamber experiments, three types of SFL with the different grain size characteristics were compared in the chamber with a dimension of $20cm{\times}30cm{\times}60cm$. To evaluate performance of the reservoir systems, the concentration of the polluted water in terms of TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) were measured and compared. In addition, a reduction in hydraulic conductivity of SFL due to pollutant clogging was indirectly estimated. The optimum SFL selected through the laboratory chamber experiments was verified on the in-situ rainwater reservoir for field applicability.

In order to estimate the non-point pollution loads from each watersheds among 209 watersheds, the calibration and validation of HSPF model were carried out based on 2012 in 2013 years. In the case of flow rate, R2 of calibration and validation were 0.71~0.93 and 0.71~0.79, which were relatively good values. With the respect to calibration of water quality, % differences between measured and simulated values were 0.4 ~ 9.7 of DO, BOD 0.5 ~ 30.2% and TN 1.9~28.6% except for Hwhangkang B site. In case of validation, DO was 0.2 ~ 13.7%, BOD 1.3~23% and TN 0.5~24.3% excluding Hwhangkang B. However, since the concentration of TP was very small compared with other items, the range of difference was large as 0.8~55.3%. level. As the result of calculating annual accumulative BOD loads for each watershed, it was found that RCH 123 (Uryeong, Gyeongsangnamdo), RCH 121 (Jinju, Gyeongsangnamdo) and RCH 92 (Daegu) were the high ranked. The unit watersheds including various landuse type susch as forest and agricultural sites in mainstream areas have a higher BOD nonpoint pollution load than those in dam regions. However, the results of the annual cumulative loading of the basins for nutrients did not appear to be consistent with the BOD annual cumulative loading ranks. Other factors that represent watershed characteristics such as landslope and soiltypes, including landuse pattern, have been found to be closely related to nonpoint pollutant loads.

Growth in population and urbanization has progressively increased the loadings of pollutants from non-point sources as well as point sources. Accordingly, release of contaminants from non-point sources, released with surface runoff of rainwater, is influenced by atmospheric phenomena, geology, and topography. This makes the control of non-point source difficult. Therefore, this study intends to reveal the characteristics of runoff and particle size distribution to observe the fundamental characteristics of runoff. Experiments were carried out at inner road of research center. Average concentration of runoff ranged from 26.8 to 126.4 mg/L for SS and $COD_{Cr}\;15.3{\sim}117.7mg/L,\;TN\;0.07{\sim}5.16mg/L,\;TP\;0.06{\sim}0.49mg/L$ and heavy metals $0.00{\sim}0.29mg/L$. First flush, indicated wash off of pollutant at first rain, was observed for all types of pollutants. Most pollutants revealed a very close correlation with SS ($R^2=0.93{\sim}0.99$). After analyzing characteristics of particle, particle was finer than that from previously examined data.

The aim of this study was to develop a low impact development design technique that can be applied in the land use planning stage and verify quantitatively the effects of non-point pollution reduction. For this purpose, the low impact development design elements that can be applied in the land use planning stage were derived and applied to an actual site, and the non-point pollution reduction effect was analyzed using the LIDMOD2 program. The analysis showed that the permeability rate of the land use plan using low impact development decreased by 19.8% compared to the existing land use plan. In addition, annual surface runoff decreased by 19.0% and annual infiltration increased by 164.1%. In the case of non-point pollution, the annual loading, T-N, T-P, and BOD decreased by 18.7 ~ 22.8%. Therefore, compared to the existing land use plan, the land use plan using low impact development has a considerably large effect of reducing the non-point pollution without changing the floor area according to each application. Therefore, to maximize the reduction effect of non-point pollution, it will be necessary to establish a related plan by applying the low impact development technique from the land use planning stage to the existing LID facility-oriented plan.

In this paper, observed water quality, algal blooms and flow rates in the Yeongsan River and its boundaries including 8 tributaries and 2 wastewater treatment plants for two years of 2018-2019 were analyzed. It seems effects of non-point source load inputs from basin areas to the river may be significant though the field data availability was limited. The EFDC model was calibrated against data collected from 6 water level monitoring stations and 6 water quality monitoring stations, respectively, in the study area. Water quality improvement scenarios were developed assuming 50% and 75% reductions of major pollution sources including treatment plants and tributaries. The developed scenarios were applied to the EFDC model to estimate effects on algal bloom occurrences in the Seungchon weir and Juksan weir. Improvement of the effluent of Gwangju 1 WWTP by 75% did not show any effect on algal blooms for two weir locations. The major tributary affecting algal blooms in the Seungchon weir was the Hwangryong River. The Jisuk stream was found as the most important tributary for the Juksan weir followed by the effect of the Hwangryong River. Though it seems other scattered small nonpoint source load input to the Yeongsan river also seem to be important, it was not possible to reflect their effects appropriately due to field data availability.

In this study, multi-image information for the central Taewha River basin was used to develop and analyze a distribution map of non-point pollution sources. The data were collected using a hyper-sensor (image), aerial photography, and a field spectro-radiometer. An image correction process was performed for each image to develop an ortho-image. In addition, the spectra from the field spectro-radiometer measurements were analyzed for each classification to create land cover and distribution maps of non-point pollutant sources. In the western region of the Taewha River basin, where most of the forest and agricultural land is distributed, the distribution map showed generated loads for BOD($kg/km^2{\times}day$) of 1.0 - 2.3, for TN($kg/km^2{\times}day$) of 0.06 - 9.44, and for TP($kg/km^2{\times}day$) of 0.03 - 0.24, which were low load distributions. In the eastern region where urbanization is in progress, the BOD, TN, and TP were 85.9, 13.69, and 2.76, respectively and these showed relatively high load distributions when the land use was classified by plot.

Low impact development (LID) facilities are established for the purpose of restoring the natural hydrologic cycle as well as the removal of pollutants from stormwater runoff. Improved efficiency of LID facilities can be obtained through the optimized interaction of their major components (i.e., plant, soil, filter media, microorganisms, etc.). Therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the performances of LID facilities in terms of runoff and pollutant reduction and also to provide an optimal maintenance method. The monitoring was conducted on four LID technologies (e.g., bioretention, small wetlands, rain garden and tree box filter). The optimal SA/CA (facility surface area / catchment area) ratio for runoff reduction greater than 40% is determined to be 1 - 5%. Since runoff reduction affects the pollutant removal efficiency in LID facilities, SA/CA ratio is derived as an important factor in designing LID facilities. The LID facilities that are found to be effective in reducing stormwater runoff are in the following order: rain garden > tree box filter > bioretention> small wetland. Meanwhile, in terms of removal of particulate matter (TSS), the effectiveness of the facilities are in the following order: rain garden > tree box filter > small wetland > bioretention; rain gardens > tree box filter > bioretention > small wetland were determined for the removal of organic matter (COD, TOC), nutrients (TN, TP) and heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Cd, Zn). These results can be used as an important material for the design of LID facilities in runoff volume and pollutant reduction.

Stormwater runoff affects the quality of surface water and groundwater due to the nonpoint sources (NPSs) of pollutants that it carries during storm events. Typically, urbanized areas experience high pollutant mass emission because of paved roads and other areas which are all highly impervious. For this reason, proper identification of the levels of pollutants from the watershed area is important to pass the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea's water quality standards in rivers and streams. This research was conducted in order to determine and quantify the different constituents present in stormwater runoff generated from highly impervious areas in Cheonan City, Korea. Also, the average event mean concentration (EMC) of stormwater runoff from paved areas was compared with EMCs of other countries to determine the possible causes of its occurrence. In addition, the occurrence of first flush phenomenon was studied in order to find the first flush criteria to be used on the design of best management practices. The results show the pollutant concentration of stormwater runoff was higher than other countries due its landuse and relatively small size of catchment area. During the first 30 minutes of the rainfall events, occurrence of first flush phenomenon was highly evident. Several factors affected the pollutant concentrations in the stormwater such as landuse type, geographic and topographic characteristics,catchment area and amount of rainfall. This research can provide guidance in achieving an effective NPS pollution management applicable to highly urbanized areas in the future.

본 연구는 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염원의 저감 효과를 분석하기 위하여 최적관리기법(BMPs) 중 경운방법과 침투짚단을 하여 효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 시험포 1개의 면적은 $150m^2$ (폭 5 m, 경사장 30 m)이며, 모두 사질토의 특성을 가진 토양이다. 시험포는 총 8개(경사도 3% 4개, 8% 4개)로 각각 무경운 시험포 2개와 경운 시험포 1개 그리고 침투 짚단을 설치한 경운 시험포 1개로 경사도와 영농방법을 다르게 조성하였다. 실험의 오차를 줄이기 위하여 강우지속시간과 강우량 그리고 강우강도가 일정한 인공강우 실험을 수행하였으며, 실험시 바람에 의한 강우량의 오차를 줄이기 위해 날씨가 맑은 날에 실시하였다. 또한, 선행무강우일수 7일로 유지하여 토양의 함수비를 동일한 조건이 되도록 하였다. 총 3회의 인공강우실험에서 강우강도는 30 mm/hr 이였으며, 강우로 인해 발생한 유출수는 수위를 측정한 뒤, 수위-유량곡선식을 이용하여 유량으로 환산하였으며, 이때 수질시료를 채취하였다. 채취된 수질시료는 $BOD_5$, $COD_{Cr}$, $COD_{Mn}$, TN, TP, DOC 등의 6개 항목을 분석하였다. 연구결과 경사도 3%의 침투짚단 시험포에서 오염부하는 경운 시험포 대비 $BOD_5$는 25.4%, $COD_{Cr}$은 20.5%, $COD_{Mn}$은 2.1%, DOC는 40.8%, 영양염류인 TN과 TP는 각각 23%와 8.7%가 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 경사도 3%의 무경운 시험포에서 오염부하는 경운 시험포 대비 $BOD_5$는 57.5%, $COD_{Cr}$은 59.8%, $COD_{Mn}$은 65%, TN과 TP는 65.4%와 75%로 저감되었다. 그리고 경사도 8%에서 경운 시험포대비 침투짚단 시험포의 오염부하는 $BOD_5$ 19.6%, $COD_{Cr}$과 $COD_{Mn}$은 각각 7.8%와 10% 그리고 영양염류인 TN은 15.5%, TP는 11.2%가 저감되는 것으로 나타났다. 경사도 8%에서 무경운 시험포에서는 경운 시험포 대비 $BOD_5$ 70.9%, $COD_{Cr}$과 $COD_{Mn}$은 각각 74.9%와 81.3% 그리고 영양염류인 TN은 70.2%, TP는 70.1%가 저감된 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과와 같이 경운을 하는 관행방법에 비해 토양의 침투능이 유지할 수 있는 무경운 방법이나 침투짚단을 활용하는 방법이 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염원을 저감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 본 연구의 결과는 3번의 인공강우 실험을 통해 분석된 결과로써 추가적인 연구를 통해 다양한 경사도와 영농방법에 따른 비점오염물질의 저감효과를 분석해야 할 것으로 보여진다.
