본 연구에서는 하천 물리모니터링 결과를 바탕으로 청미천 유역의 본류에 대한 하천 수변환경을 평가하였다. 평가 지침은 수생태 건강성 평가에서 제시된 지침을 따랐다. 평가 결과, 죽산천과 청미천 합류부 지점은 2등급으로 생태서식 여건이 좋은 편으로 나타났다. 모래로 된 교호사주가 좌우안 넓은 지역에 걸쳐 형성되어 있고, 하중도 및 식생 사주도가 형성되어 식생활착이 왕성하며, 주로 달뿌리풀 위주의 군락이 형성되어 있었다. 특히 합류점 상류 본천은 자연하천의 모습을 간직하고 있었으며, 양안에는 식생과 수목이 왕성하게 자연적으로 형성되어 있었다. 화봉천과 청미천 합류부 지점에서의 수변환경 모니터링 조사 결과, 하도는 정비되어 있으나 저수로는 사행을 유지하고 있으며, 제외지의 토지이용 상태와 하천 복개율 및 횡방향 인공구조물 상태는 비교적 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 하도 내 저수로는 호안공이 설치되지 않고 흐름의 다양성 자연스럽게 형성되어 있다. 이 지점은 하천환경이 비교적 잘 보전되어 있어, 지속적인 보전을 위한 유지관리가 요구된다. 특히 죽산천에 축산 농가 및 시가지의 확장으로 오염원이 증가되고 이들이 하천으로 유입될 우려가 있다. 생태환경을 보전하기 위한 비점오염원 유입 차단 및 수질개선 대책이 우선시되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

강우-유출에 의해 성층화된 저수지로 유입하는 하천수는 저수지 표층에 비해 낮은 수온과 높은 부유물질(SS) 농도를 가지므로 저수지 표층수보다 상대적으로 높은 밀도를 유지한다. 하천으로부터 유입한 밀도류는 유속에 의한 관성력이 두 수체의 밀도차에 의한 음의 부력보다 큰 구간까지는 저수지 표층을 따라 진행하지만, 두 힘이 같아지는 지점에서 밀도류는 더 이상 진행하지 못하고 저수지 수면 아래로 침강하며 이 과정에서 수체간의 많은 혼합이 일어난다. 따라서 홍수시 유입한 탁수의 침강점에 대한 정확한 예측은 수질관리를 위한 현장조사, 그리고 탁수거동 해석 및 최적관리대책 마련에 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구의 목적은 홍수시 대청호로 유입하는 하천 밀도류의 침강위치를 홍수규모별로 경험식과 수치모델을 통해 산정함으로써 두 방법 간의 장 단점을 비교하고, 탁수 현장조사와 최적관리를 위한 기초정보를 제공하는데 있다. 유입수의 모의조건은 그 동안 대청호에서 발생한 홍수 크기를 기준으로 9개의 등급으로 나누었으며, 저수지 성층조건은 여름철 탁수가 유입되기 전의 발달된 성층구조를 적용하였다. 유입수와 저수지 성층구조의 특성치는 밀도 Froude 수($Fr_i$)로 나타냈으며, $Fr_i$ 조건별로 침강점 위치를 저수지 단면을 삼각형태로 가정한 Hebbert et al.(1979) 경험식과 2차원 수치모델로 산정하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 대청호로 유입한 탁수는 홍수규모에 따라 대정리 수역에서 회남수역 사이 구간에서 침강하였으며, $Fr_i$ 값이 클수록 침강점 수심이 깊어지는 경향을 보였다. 경험식으로 산정한 침강점 수심은 정상상태 조건을 가정하므로 홍수에 의한 수위변화를 고려하지 못하며, 실제의 불규칙한 하상표고를 일정한 하상경사로 가정하기 때문에 2차원 모델의 결과보다 과대산정하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 홍수가 연속해서 발생하며 수위변화가 심한 국내 저수지 여건에서 하천 유입 밀도류의 거동을 보다 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 2차원 또는 3차원 수치모델을 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단된다.

There have been many studies on monitoring of biodiversity changes and preservation of Gwangneung Forest Biosphere Reserve (GFBR) in South Korea in recognition of the rare ecosystem that has been preserved for a long period. However, there are few studies on diversity and community characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrates as an indicator of stream health of GFBR. The purpose of this study was to assess the water quality of Bongseonsa Stream that penetrated through Gwangneung Forest and the nearby torrents by analyzing the benthic macroinvertebrates community during April to September 2016. The investigation collected a total of 114 species of benthic macroinvertebrates belonging to 56 families, 17 orders, 8 classes, and 5 phyla from the Bongseonsa Stream and Kwangneung Stream. Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera were the largest groups in species diversity with 30 species (32.3%) and 16 species (17.2%), respectively, and Tubificidae sp., Baetis fuscatus, Antocha KUa, and Cheumatopsyche brevilineata, which usually habit in contaminated streams, appeared frequently. Among the feeding function groups, the gatherers and hunters appeared relatively frequently, and the shredders and scrapers appeared frequently in the torrents. Among the habitat oriented groups, the clingers and burrower appeared more frequently and represented the microhabitats in the shallow areas. The result of the analysis of benthic macroinvertebrates community showed that the dominant index was $0.48{\pm}0.10$ in average while it was lowest with 0.33 in GS 8 of the Gwangneung Forest torrent and highest in BS 1 of Bongseonsa Stream. The diversity and richness indices were inversely proportional to the dominant index and were 2.53 and 4.22, respectively, in GS 8 where the dominant index was low. The result of the analysis of community stability showed that area I, which had high resistance and restoration, was high in Bongseonsa Stream while the area III, which had low resistance and restoration, was high in Gwangneung Forest, indicating that the water system in Gwangneung Forest had a wider distribution of specifies sensitive to agitation. The biological water quality assessment showed ESB of $50.88{\pm}17.69$, KSI of $1.11{\pm}0.57$, and BMI of $78.55{\pm}11.05$. GS 8 of Gwangneung Forest torrent was judged to be the highest priority protective water area with the best water environment and I class water quality with ESB of 63, KSI of 0.55, and BMI of 89.9. On the contrary, BS 1 of Bongseonsa Stream was judged to be the high priority improvement area that had the lowest water quality rating of III with ESB of 25, KSI of 2.13, and BMI of 62.7. Although the diversity of water beetle was higher in the water system of nearby Bongseonsa Stream than the water system inside the Gwangneung Forest, the annual community structure appeared to have distinct differences.

With the increasing attention of the international community on climate change and biodiversity promotion programmes, the Korean government and public agencies are trying to protect and restore the ecosystem of areas protected by law, such as waterfronts, by acquiring private land. However, the inadequate purchase system has caused various problems. In this study, an efficient and systematic land purchase system was developed through ecological evaluation, focusing on the ecological and landscape conservation areas of the Donggang basin. The ecological evaluation was developed by integrating parcel-level evaluation and regional-specific evaluation, and the overall level of ecological function was established and finalized through on-site verification. As a result of verifying the purchase land of 88 parcels, it showed a relatively high agreement of more than 85.2%, and the rest of parcels (non-agreement) were considered to have had an impact on vegetation, crop harvesting, etc. due to seasonal differences in ecological evaluation and field verification. The purchasing system was ranked according to the ecological evaluation grade based on the endangered species and the distance from the core ecosystem. As a result, the purchase priority was systematically drawn up to the 5th rank for a total of 68 parcels for the private lands of Geoeun-ri, Munsan-ri, Deokcheon-ri, Unchi-ri, Gumam-ri, and Suji-ri. This study is expected to contribute to the preservation, restoration and ecological management of purchased land in the protected area in the future by establishing and proposing a systematic land purchase system based on ecological evaluation.

The Bayesian algorithm model is a model algorithm that calculates probabilities based on input data and is mainly used for complex disasters, water quality management, the ecological structure between living things or living-non-living factors. In this study, we analyzed the main factors affected Korean Estuary Trophic Diatom Index (KETDI) change based on the Bayesian network analysis using the diatom community and physicochemical factors in the domestic estuarine aquatic ecosystem. For Bayesian analysis, estuarine diatom habitat data and estuarine aquatic diatom health (2008~2019) data were used. Data were classified into habitat, physical, chemical, and biological factors. Each data was input to the Bayesian network model (GeNIE model) and performed estuary aquatic network analysis along with the nationwide and each coast. From 2008 to 2019, a total of 625 taxa of diatoms were identified, consisting of 2 orders, 5 suborders, 18 families, 141 genera, 595 species, 29 varieties, and 1 species. Nitzschia inconspicua had the highest cumulative cell density, followed by Nitzschia palea, Pseudostaurosira elliptica and Achnanthidium minutissimum. As a result of analyzing the ecological network of diatom health assessment in the estuary ecosystem using the Bayesian network model, the biological factor was the most sensitive factor influencing the health assessment score was. In contrast, the habitat and physicochemical factors had relatively low sensitivity. The most sensitive taxa of diatoms to the assessment of estuarine aquatic health were Nitzschia inconspicua, N. fonticola, Achnanthes convergens, and Pseudostaurosira elliptica. In addition, the ratio of industrial area and cattle shed near the habitat was sensitively linked to the health assessment. The major taxa sensitive to diatom health evaluation differed according to coast. Bayesian network analysis was useful to identify major variables including diatom taxa affecting aquatic health even in complex ecological structures such as estuary ecosystems. In addition, it is possible to identify the restoration target accurately when restoring the consequently damaged estuary aquatic ecosystem.

This study was surveyed that water physiochemical characteristics and phytoplankton incidence of main stream and Lake Doam near to Daegwallyeong agricultural area. Based on above results, it was conducted to get information overall water characteristics in south Han upstream river. COD value of Lake Doam was $6.1mg\;L^{-1}$ and T-P (Total phosphorous) from there was $0.26mg\;L^{-1}$ which was higher than the value of grade VI based on lake water living environment standard. Suspended solid was an average of 9.77 NTU which was higher than value of lake living standard. Concentration of phytoplankton was over $2.0{\times}10^3Cell\;mL^{-1}$ from July to September. It was considered that cyanobacteria were occurred due to massive influx of nutrient material by high temperature and rainfall during this season. Compare to Ontario's sediment quality guidelines, T-N and T-P was middle value between LEL and SEL in Lake Doam. This value means that contamination in water is serious. Therefore, it is considered that systematic management was needed to reduce and block contamination source.

Stream water quantity is the most basic, fundamental and important element for stream water quality and for conservation of ecological environment. This study aims to analyze causes of changes in stream water quantity based on the percentage of impervious surface area (%ISA) in urban streams of Gyeonggi-do, and also to present a method to secure water quantity of urban streams in Gyeonggi-do and data to be applied to River Management Policy. For this purpose, the Anyangcheon watershed, the Tancheon watershed, and the Osancheon watershed were selected as samples of the urban streams. In addition, the stream water quantity and the changes in stream water quality which were based on the amount of ISA, and methods to directly and indirectly secure stream water quantity were investigated. The results are as follows. The amounts of ISA of the Anyangcheon watershed, of the Tancheon watershed, and of the Osancheon watershed showed a 5.32%, 6.32%, and 7.22% increase, respectively, from 2014 which was approximately 10 years ago. The runoff coefficient generally increased as the amount of ISA was increased. Water reuse quantity of stream in the Tanchon watershed had a positive effect on securing stream water quantity, but both in the Anyangcheon watershed and in the Osancheon watershed, it did not have a positive effect on that. However, water reuse quantity of stream improved the water quality of each stream.

Vinyl chloride (VC) is a known human carcinogen, and it is released to multi-environmental media via several exposure routes. VC was potentially evaluated as a water quality pollutant based on human health risk assessment in Korean water environments. In this study, we investigated physicochemical and toxicological properties of VC, human health and ecological risk assessment, and the regulation of VC as a water quality pollutant in developed countries. Currently there are no standard or guideline values of VC in Korean legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem, except that it is designated as a specific toxic substance and a water quality pollutant. Human health risk assessment of VC was previously performed based on the limited water quality monitoring data. The monitoring level of VC in Korean water system is more higher than other countries'. VC was assessed as potential hazardous chemical based on the US EPA's cancer risk assessment. There were a few ecotoxicity data of VC available using very limited kinds of aquatic organisms, and the toxicity results obtained seem to be overestimated without considering the losses of VC in open exposure system. Therefore it is needed to monitor the VC in various areas and to carry out the ecotoxicity research using multi-level organisms. We expect that these results can be useful information for implementing VC as a water quality pollutant in legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem in near future.
