Algal blooms not only destroy fish habitats but also diminish biological diversity of ecosystem which results into water quality deterioration of 4 major rivers in South Korea. The relationship between algal bloom and environmental factors had been analyzed through the cross-correlation function between concentration of chlorophyll a and other environmental factors. However, time series of cross-correlations can be affected by the stochastic structure such auto-correlated feature of other controllers. In order to remove external effect in the correlation analysis, the pre-whitening procedure was implemented into the cross correlation analysis. The modeling process is consisted of a series of procedure (e.g., model identification, parameter estimation, and diagnostic checking of selected models). This study provides the exclusive correlation relationship between algae concentration and other environmental factors. The difference between the conventional correlation using raw data and that of pre-whitened series was discussed. The process implemented in this paper is useful not only to identify exclusive environmental variables to model Chl-a concentration but also in further extensive application to configure causality in the environment.

부사호는 당초 유역면적이 $288km^2$로 이 중에서 상류 유역에 건설된 보령댐 유역면적 $163.6km^2$(57%)가 제외됨에 따라 부사호로 유입량이 급격히 줄어들어 약간의 가뭄에도 수질악화가 반복되고 있다. 부사호의 합리적인 용수 수급 관리를 위해 정확한 부사호 유입량의 추정은 절실하다. 부사호 유입량은 보령호 방류량과 부사호 지류 유역 유입량으로 구성되며, 보령호 방류량은 소수력 발전용수, 관개용수, 하천유지용수, 홍수조절 방류량, 월류량으로 구성된다. 부사호 지류 유역으로부터 자연유량에서 하천에서 취수한 공업용수를 공급하고, 웅천읍의 생활용수 $1,164m^3$/일로부터 회귀수가 유입되고, 보령댐 수혜답 1039.5 ha에 관개용수를 공급하고 회귀수가 유입되고, 부사호에서 양수하여 공급한 부사 유역 수혜답 1,141 ha의 회귀수가 유입되고, 6개 저수지 수혜답 396.5 ha의 회귀수가 유입되는 등 지류 유입량의 구성은 매우 복잡하다. 하천에서 취수하여 공급하는 공업용수는 서해화력 5천 $m^3$/일, 보령화력 15천 $m^3$/일로 구성된다. ONE (One parameter New Exponential) 모형을 근간으로 유입량 모형을 구성하였고, 보령댐 자료로 매개변수를 결정하여, 1966~2011년의 부사호 일 유입량을 모의한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 유역면적 $124.4km^2$인 부사호의 지류 유입량과 보령댐 방류량을 고려한 부사호 유입량 자료로부터 유황을 분석한 결과는 연평균하여 풍수량은 2.1 mm/d, $3.083m^3/s$, 평수량은 0.89mm/d, $1.280m^3/s$, 저수량은 0.48 mm/d, $0.695m^3/s$, 갈수량은 0.30 mm/d, $0.428m^3/s$였으며, 연 유입량은 127.23백만 $m^3$에 이르렀다. 둘째, 유역면적 $288km^2$인 보령호 유역의 포함한 부사호의 자연 유입량 자료로부터 즉 보령댐이 없는 경우 유황을 분석한 결과는 연평균하여 풍수량은 1.4 mm/d, $4.599m^3/s$, 평수량은 0.51 mm/d, $1.689m^3/s$, 저수량은 0.20 mm/d, $0.664m^3/s$, 갈수량은 0.06 mm/d, $0.204m^3/s$, 연 유입량은 197.00백만 $m^3$에 이르렀다. 셋째, 보령호가 있는 경우와 없는 경우 유황을 비교하면 있는 경우에서 부사호의 유입량은 고수위의 유량은 감소하고, 저수위의 유량은 증가하는 전형적 상류에 위치한 댐의 저류효과 영향을 여실히 나타내고 있었다. 넷째, 한국하천 유황곡선식에 의한 유역면적 $288km^2$인 부사호 유입량의 풍수량은 1.29 mm/d, $4.292m^3/s$, 평수량은 0.59 mm/d, $1.964m^3/s$, 저수량은 0.33 mm/d, $1.093m^3/s$, 갈수량은 0.13mm/d, $0.424m^3$이르렀다. 결론하면, 보령댐이 있는 경우 연 유입량은 70백만 $m^3$ 감소하였으나, 평갈수기 유입량은 증가하였다.

This paper reviewed the necessity of a information and communication technology (ICT)-based smart livestock system as a development strategy for the animal life industry in the future. It also predicted the trends of livestock and animal food until 2050, 30 years later. Worldwide, livestock raising and consumption of animal food are rapidly changing in response to population growth, aging, reduction of agriculture population, urbanization, and income growth. Climate change can change the environment and livestock's productivity and reproductive efficiencies. Livestock production can lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land degradation, water pollution, animal welfare, and human health problems. To solve these issues, there is a need for a preemptive future response strategy to respond to climate change, improve productivity, animal welfare, and nutritional quality of animal foods, and prevent animal diseases using ICT-based smart livestock system fused with the 4th industrial revolution in various aspects of the animal life industry. The animal life industry of the future needs to integrate automation to improve sustainability and production efficiency. In the digital age, intelligent precision animal feeding with IoT (internet of things) and big data, ICT-based smart livestock system can collect, process, and analyze data from various sources in the animal life industry. It is composed of a digital system that can precisely remote control environmental parameters inside and outside the animal husbandry. The ICT-based smart livestock system can also be used for monitoring animal behavior and welfare, and feeding management of livestock using sensing technology for remote control through the Internet and mobile phones. It can be helpful in the collection, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of a wide range of information that farmers need. It can provide new information services to farmers.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of climate change on the nonpoint source pollution in a small watershed using a mid-range model. The study area is a basin in a rural area that covers 384 ha with a composition of 50% forest and 19% paddy. The hydrologic and water quality data were monitored from 1996 to 2004, and the feasibility of the GWLF (Generalized Watershed Loading function) model was examined in the agricultural small watershed using the data obtained from the study area. As one of the studies on climate change, KEI (Korea Environment Institute) has presented the monthly variation ratio of rainfall in Korea based on the climate change scenario for rainfall and temperature. These values and observed daily rainfall data of forty-one years from 1964 to 2004 in Suwon were used to generate daily weather data using the stochastic weather generator model (WGEN). Stream runoff was calibrated by the data of $1996{\sim}1999$ and was verified in $2002{\sim}2004$. The results were determination coeff, ($R^2$) of $0.70{\sim}0.91$ and root mean square error (RMSE) of $2.11{\sim}5.71$. Water quality simulation for SS, TN and TP showed $R^2$ values of 0.58, 0.47 and 0.62, respectively, The results for the impact of climate change on nonpoint source pollution show that if the factors of watershed are maintained as in the present circumstances, pollutant TN loads and TP would be expected to increase remarkably for the rainy season in the next fifty years.

Hwabuk Dam has been under construction to reduce flood damage in Nakdong River watershed and to supply stable water for middle area of Gyeongbuk Province. Therefore, fish investigation in up and downstream of the dam was conducted from 2004 to 2008 in order to determine any negative effect on fish community due to dam construction and to use as fundamental data for conserving species diversity and maintaining stream health. According to data analysis on water quality, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, suspended solids, and total E-coli had seasonal variation, but they did not significantly differ in sites. However, biological and chemical oxygen demand, chlorophyll-a, nitrogen, and phosphorus representing organic matter and nutrient concentration were higher in upper site and decreased to lower site so that they differed by site. Concentration of arsenic among the heavy metals was less than 0.05 mg $L^{-1}$, which is regulated for protection of human health in water quality standard, except for 0.092 mg $L^{-1}$ in June 2005. During the study period, the total number of fish caught from the 6 sites was 10,263 representing 7 families 19 species. Among them, dominant and subdominant species were Korean chub (Zacco koreanus, 62.5%) and Chinese minnow (Rhynchocypris oxycephalus, 10.6%) which inhabit mostly in mid and upper streams, Korea. Among the 19 species, Korean endemic species were 9 species (47.4%) including Korean slender gudgeon (Squalidus gracilis majimae), Korean dark sleeper (Odontobutis platycephala), and Korean shiner (Coreoleuciscus splendidus). There was several individuals of the $1^{st}$-class endangered species, Naktong nose loach (Koreocobitis nahtongensis), caught in 2005${\sim}$2007, and no introduced species of fish was found in entire sampling period. According to result of community analysis, dominance index decreased toward lower site, but diversity and richness indices increased toward lower site. The equation of length-weight relationship on the dominant species was TW=0.000003$(TL)^{3.2603}$. The parameter b in the equation was greater than 3.0 indicating good nutritional condition in the populations. Compared to populations of Korean chub in other streams, the population in Hwabuk Dam watershed had higher mean of condition factor by size indicating better growth rate. With fish fauna and multi-metric health assessment model in each sampling attempt, index of biotic integrity (IBI) was evaluated and it resulted mostly in good (26${\sim}$35) and excellent (36${\sim}$40) condition in all sites, and the mean of IBI was the highest in site 5. The results indicate that it is very important to study not only environmental impact assessment with fish composition but also stream health assessment in order to conserve healthy aquatic ecosystem.
