Laboratory procedures are available for estimating contaminant migration from sediment into caps by diffusion, but diffusion may not be the major process affecting capping effectiveness. Movement of contaminated pore water from sediment into caps due to sediment consolidation during and after cap placement may be much more significant than contaminant diffusion into caps. To verify this phenomenon, model tests were conducted by utilizing a research centrifuge. In this study, test was modeled for 22.5 hours at 100 g, which modeled a contaminant migration time of 25 years for a prototype that was 100 times larger than the centrifuge model. Centrifuge test results illustrate that advection and dispersion due to consolidation are dominating the migration of contaminants.

The characteristics of groundwater movement under the heavy rainfall at Nan-ji waste landfill site are studied using HELP(Hydraulic Evaluation of Landfill Performance) program, which calculates the daily leachate in the Nan-ji waste landfill site. In this study, instead of the average recharge value, which is used in the past study, the real reacharge value is used to calculate the daily leachater. It is found about 70 times greater than thor average recharge value under the condition of heavy rainfall in the rainy season. The flow characteristics of groundwater for water level fluctuation is simulated using the ground water flow model MODFLOW(A Modular 3-D Finite Different Groundwater Flow Model) program, and the slurry layer is newly added. The result of the study is different from that of the ordinary simulation, which shows much higher ground water level than from the ordinary simulation.

증발산량은 수표면이나 토양면에서 수증기의 형태로, 대기중으로 방출되는 증발량과 식물의 엽면을 통해 지중의 물이 대기 중으로 방출되는 증산량의 합으로, 기상학과 수문학에 사용되는 중요한 농업기상 매개 변수이다. 증발산량을 관측하는 방법으로는 라이시미터 (Lysimeter)와 같은 관측장비를 통해 실제 증발산량을 측정하는 방법과, FAO-56 Penman-Monteith (PM)과 같은 증발산량 추정 알고리즘을 이용하여 산출하는 방법이 있다. 국내의 경우 기상관측소에서 수집한 데이터를 이용하여 증발산량 추정공식을 통해 증발산량을 산정하는 연구가 이루어졌으며, 위성영상에 기반하여 증발산을 추정하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국 항공우주국 (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA)에서 추진하는 위성을 이용한 지구 전역의 장기관측 계획 EOS (Earth Observing System)에 의해 발사된 지구 관측 위성인 MODIS Terra 위성에서 제공되는 MOD16A2 위성영상을 사용하였다. MOD16A2 위성영상은 2001년부터 현재까지 500m의 픽셀 단위로 제공되는 8일 간격의 전지구 규모의 위성영상으로, 본 연구에서는 우리나라 관측소에서 관측된 기상인자를 PM 공식에 입력하여 산정된 증발산량 값과 MOD16A2 위성영상 데이터를 비교하여 우리나라 MOD16A2 위성영상 적용성 및 밭작물 가뭄분석에 적용하였다.

A surfactant recovery and reuse process by selective adsorption with activated carbon was proposed to reduce surfactant cost in a soil washing process. Mathematical model simulation was performed for the whole process, which consists of soil washing, soil recovery, and soil re-washing. The optimal range of surfactant dosage was $6{\sim}10$-fold critical micelle concentration in soil. The efficiency of surfactant reuse process was decreased with increasing the dosage of activated carbon. Effectiveness factor for activated carbon significantly altered the efficiency of the reuse process unlike effectiveness factor for soil. Total requirement of surfactant was reduced to 20-30% with the reuse process compared to the conventional soil washing process. The contamination of wastewater after soil washing was reduced with the reuse process. This mathematical model can be used to estimate performance of the whole process of soil washing including surfactant recovery and to obtain optimal ranges of operating conditions without extra labor-intensive experimental works.

This study was to build the database by collecting the results of legal leak test and self-test conducted by the owners of soil contamination facilities at soil-related specialized agency to grip objective status on soil contamination facilities and evaluate classification results. The results of the study showed that the unsuitable rate of business unit is 53.6%, the business with leak that could cause actual pollution is 25.7%, the unsuitable rate of the voluntary self-test is 57.3%, that of the compulsory inspection is 17.2% depending on the test motivation, that of the direct-test is 58.9%, and that of the indirect-test is 22.5% depending on the test methods. There was a significant difference between the test motivation conducted and the test methods applied. From the results of the unsuitable reasons obtained we could assume that about 20% of the whole target tanks became potential sources with natural defects occurred when such tanks were made, and 2.2% of the whole tankers examined that persisting period was caused by progressing corrosion below the minimum thickness.

To find out the optimum nitrogen fertilization levels for the leafy vegetables in volcanic ash soils of Cheju island, fertilization effects on chinese cabbage chinese and cabbage were investigated through pot and field experiments. In pot experiment conducted with two volcanic ash soils of Cheju island, optimum rates of nitrogen fertilizer was ranged from 294 to $331kg\;ha^{-1}$ for chinese cabbage. At field experiment with one volcanic soil, the optimum N fertilizer was $331kg\;ha^{-1}$. On the basis of soil organic matters, fertilizer recommendation formula for cabbage, could be established by using 1.03 of comparison factors (F) compared with chinese cabbage : y=344.54-0.285x for chines cabbage, y= 354.88-0.294x for cabbage, where y is the recommendation amount of nitrogen fertilizer with x g $kg^{-1}$ of organic matter in soil. Actual optimum rate of nitrogen fertilizer for chinese cabbage under field condition was much more similar to the value caluculated by the revised nitrogen recommendation formula than the amount of nitrogen fertilizer recommended by the current formula in volcanic ash soil.

In recent years the convective-dispersive equation has been often discredited in predicting subsurface solute transport under field conditions due to presence of preferential flow paths. Kim et al. (2005) proposed a simple equation that can predict the breakthrough of solutes without excessive data requirements. In their Generalized Preferential Flow Model (GPFM), the soil is conceptually divided in a saturated "distribution layer" near the surface and a "conveyance zone" with preferential flow paths below. In this study, we test the model with previously published data, and compare it with a classical convective-dispersive model (CDM). With three parameters required-apparent water content of the distribution zone, and solute velocity and dispersion in the conveyance zone-GPFM was able to describe the breakthrough of solutes both through silty and sandy loam soils. Although both GPFM and CDM fitted the data well in visual, variables for GPFM were more realistic. The most sensitive parameter was the apparent water content, indicating that it is the determining factor to apply GPFM to various soil types, while Kim et al. (2005) reported that changing the velocity of GPFM reproduced solute transport when same soils were used. Overall, it seems that the GPFM has a great potential to predict solute leaching under field conditions with a wide range of generality.

To investigate the optimal operation factors in appling Soil Flushing Process, which use EDTA and boric acid composite as a flushing reagent, to the Cd(cadmium) and Cr(chromium) contaminated sites, Cd and Cr emediation rate was investigated at various experimental conditions; as EDTA concentration was increased from 0.001M to 0.1M, Cd remediation rate was increased from $73.2\%\;to\;98.5\%$; as boric acid concentration was increased from 0.001M to 0.1M, Cr remediation rate was increased from $59.2\%\;to\;99.0\%$. In the experiments using 0.005M of EDTA and 0.005M of boric acid composite as a flushing reagent at different pH regimes, Cd remediation rate was decreased from $92.4\%\;to;80.9\%$ as the pH was increased from 3 to 7. But Cr remediation rate was more effective ($70.4\%$) at pH 5 compared to the other pHs. Furthermore, at pH 5, Cd and Cr remediation rate was investigated at different molecular ratio of [EDTA]/[Boric aicd]; the optimized [EDTA]/[Boric acid] ratio was 0.01M/0.1M for Cd contaminated site and, as the concentration of boric acid was increased over 0.1M, Cr remediation rate was also increased. So the similar results were shown in the experiments using real contaminated soils which were sampled from a mining and a industrial area.

Rainfall infiltration through the unsaturated zone is influenced by a range of factors including topography, geology, soil, rainfall intensity, temperature and vegetation; the actual infiltration varies largely in time and space. The infiltration capacity of soil is a critical factor in identifying groundwater recharge and leakage of surface water. It may differ depending on soil types and geological features of a particular basin or territory as well as on the usage of the land. This study was conducted in forest and farmland region of the mid-mountain area (EL. 50~300 m) of Jeju Island to test soil infiltration capacity of the area where rainfall contributes to groundwater. Results were analyzed using the four soil group classification methods presented by Jeong et al. (1995) and NAS (2007) to discover that the method offered by NAS (2007) is more reliable in the mid-mountain area of Jeju Island. The study compares and reviews the existing classification methods using the results of infiltration capacity tests executed on different soil groups throughout the whole region of the Jeju mid-mountain area. It is expected that this work will serve as a guideline for evaluating surface water recharge and hydraulic characteristics of Jeju Island.

현재 국내외에서는 양질의 증발산을 관측하여 활용하기 위해 증발접시 (evaporation pan), 침루계 (lysimeter) 등을 이용하여 실측하거나 Flux Tower에서 Eddy covariance technique, Bowen ratio method 등을 이용하여 경험적으로 산정하고 있다. 이러한 방법으로 산정되는 증발산은 크게 두 분류로 나눌 수 있다. 일반적인 기후 상태에서 유역의 토양이 증발산에 방해를 받지 않을 정도로 충분히 물을 포함하고 있고, 식생이 조밀한 상태에서의 증발산량을 의미하는 잠재 증발산과 실제 산정치인 실제 증발산으로 나눌 수 있다 (Thornthwait, 1939). 본 연구에서는 유역의 잠재 증발산을 산정하여 실제 증발산과 비교를 통해 적용성을 확인하고자 한다. 잠재 증발산을 산정하는 방법은 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 인공위성 데이터를 이용한 원격탐사 기술을 적용하여 산정한다. 원격탐사 기술은 지상 관측의 단점을 보완한 것으로써, 날씨, 인간 활동 등 주변 외부 환경의 영향에 민감하게 반응하여 공간적인 분포 현황을 파악하는 것이 어려운 지상 관측의 한계점을 대체하기 위한 방법이다. 이들 방법으로는 가장 널리 쓰이는 Penman-Monteith (Penman, 1948; Monteith, 1965), 일별 최대, 최저, 평균 기온을 이용한 Hargreaves 방법 (Hargreaves, 1985)과 Priestley-Taylor 방법 (Priestley and Taylor, 1972) 등의 세 가지 방법을 소개하였다. 세 가지 방법으로 산정된 잠재 증발산을 통해 해당 유역의 잠재 증발산의 공간적인 거동을 파악해 볼 수 있다.
