The nonpoint pollutants are originated from various land uses. Of the landuses, the development means the changes of the soil cover and the increases of imperviousness rate, which will increase the nonpoint pollutant emissions during a storm. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment in Korea has programed TPLMS(Total Pollution Load Management System) for four major large rivers to improve the water quality in rivers by controling the total pollutant loadings from the watershed area. The study area was forest landuse before resort development, however it is now changing to the resort. Some of the forest areas will be changed to parking lots, roads and buildings, which can be the major pollutant sources in the future. The paved areas are highly polluted landuses because of high pollutant accumulation rate by vehicle activities during dry periods. Therefore, this research is achieved to determine the changes of pollutant loading rate by development plan and to provide the best management practices for controlling nonpoint pollutants. Finally this research will provide the environment-kindly development technology for protecting the water quality.

The objective of this research is to evaluate the water quality characteristics using the statistical analysis of major tributaries in the Han River and to provide water quality improvement plan by selecting tributaries that should be preferentially managed by river grade classification method. The major 15 tributaries in Han River watershed were monitored for discharge and water quality during January-December 2017. As a result of the correlation analysis, the river discharge has been not correlation with other water quality constituents (p>0.05) but COD and TOC were significantly correlated (r=0.957, p<0.01). The main cause of water quality fluctuation was organic pollutants and nutrients in the principal component analysis (PCA) method. The BOD, COD, TOC, TN, and TP were found to be significantly different (p<0.05) by seasonal in result of one-way ANOVA analysis. Result of river grade classification by quantitative indicators the tributaries requiring improvement of water quality were Gulpocheon, Anyangcheon, Wangsukcheon, and Tancheon which affected by wastewater treatment plant.In this research, we determined tributaries that need to improve the water quality of Han River watershed and it can be used as an important data for efficient water quality management.

In order to quantify the effect of the newly established the Total Water Load Management System in Sapgyo watershed, this study predicted the achievement of the target water quality at each unit watershed and the water quality according to the flow section. The HSPF model, which is the watershed runoff model, was constructed and operated based on 2015, and the water quality was predicted by inputting the loads in final target year(2030). The Load Duration Curve (LDC) was created using the simulated results of base year and target year. As a result of plotting water quality by flow conditions, it was simulated to be close to the BOD target with a difference of 0.1 ~ 0.2 mg/L in all three watersheds during the mid-range flow interval (40 ~ 60%). In case of T-P, although the target water quality was not set, the water quality was improved by Cheonan A 46%, Kokgyo A 29% and Namwon A 25%. The Muhan and Sapgyo river basins meet the target grade of middle-watershed standards. The improvement effect will be positive, as water quality, which achieves the target of Total Load Management System and the target grade of the middle-watershed standards will be expected to flow into the Sapgyo lake.

그동안 우리나라의 하천관리는 홍수피해 경감과 용수공급이라는 단순한 이 치수 위주로 관리해 왔다. 수자원개발사업이 본격적으로 시작된 1960년대 이후 상류 지역에 다목적댐들이 건설되었으며, 이러한 하천관리는 국토를 효율적으로 활용할 수 있게 함으로써 압축성장의 원동력이 되었다. 경제가 성장함에 따라 생활이 윤택해지고, 또한 환경의식이 향상됨에 따라 하천관리도 이제까지의 이 치수 위주에서 벗어나 하천 고유의 생태계 보존과 휴식 친수공간으로서의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천의 친수성과 접근성을 제고할 수 있는 방안으로 유역 상류의 댐에서 하천유지용수를 공급하는 방안에 대해서 검토 분석하였다. 댐은 홍수시 하류지역의 홍수피해를 줄이는 역할 뿐만 아니라 하천환경이 악화되는 갈수기에 수질 개선용 물을 흘러 보내는 역할을 함으로써 수질을 개선하고 자연상태의 친수공간을 만들 수 있다. 오염되고, 건천화된 하천의 친환경적인 관리를 위해서는 상류 댐에서 하천유지용수를 최대한 확보하는 것이 가장 효율적인 방안으로 사료되며, 댐의 계획 운영 등에 대하여는 지속적인 연구가 있어야 할 것이다.

For reliable water quality simulation by semi distributed model, accurate daily runoff simulation should have preceded. In this study, newly developed channel routing method which is nonlinear storage method is combination of Muskingum routing method and variable storage routing method and temporally weighted average curve number method were applied for effect analysis of water quality simulation. Developed modules, which are added in SWAT models and simulation, were conducted for the Chungju dam watershed. The simulation result by each module applied effect. As a result of analysis contribute water quality modeling, nonlinear storage method is more effective than temporally weighted average curve number method. Nutrient loading discharge was affected by development of runoff delaying from improvement of channel routing, because of characteristics of nonpoint source pollution.

비점오염원은 특정한 시설이나 장소를 나타내기 보다는 농지에 살포된 비료 및 농약, 대기오염물질 강하물, 축사에서의 유출물, 도로상에 쌓인 교통오염물질, 하수관거에서 유출되는 하수 등으로 강우시 빗물과 함께 유출되는 오염물질로 정의되며, 비점오염물질을 발생시키는 곳은 비점오염원으로 규정하고 있다. 비점오염원은 경제활동수준이 증가하고 토지이용이 고도화될수록 수질에 미치는 영향이 커지게 되며, 점오염원의 부하가 줄어들수록 비점오염원에 의한 부하비율은 증가하게 된다. 따라서 비점오염에 대한 체계적인 관리 없이 하천이나 호소 수질을 개선하는 데는 그 한계가 있다. 또한 체계적인 관리 이전에 적절한 비점오염원의 해석이 무엇보다도 중요하므로 본 연구에서는 적절한 비점오염원 모형 검토를 선행하였다. 가용 자료의 존재 여부 및 해석 시 사용하는 방정식 등을 고려하여 선정한 모형은 USDA-ARS(US Department of Agriculture-the Agricultural Research Service)에서 개발된 SWAT 모형으로 본 연구에 이용되었다. SWAT 모형에 이용되는 자료는 크게 유역자료, 강우자료, 기상자료, 검정에 이용되는 유량 및 오염물질 농도로 분류될 수 있다. 본 모형에 이용되는 광범위한 자료를 수집하여 해석을 수행하였다. 비점오염원 해석의 검보정을 위해 점오염원의 영향이 크지 않은 소유역 유출지점을 선정하여 해석하여 비교적 합리적인 결과를 도출하였다. 차후 연구에서 보다 합리적인 해석을 위해 데이터베이스의 재검토가 절실한 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the water quality improvement effect by providing the environmental flows from agricultural reservoir using QUAL2K model. The Bonghyun reservoir, located in Hai-myun, which is in the city of Gosung in the Gyeongnam province, was selected for study area. The stream monitoring was conducted 24 times from 2011 to 2013 and the water quality was monitored in 6 stations including reservoir. Reservoir operation was simulated to determine the environmental flow supply amount from March to October with the constraint that environmental flow supply was restrained when the storage of reservoir was below the one-third of effective storage. The QUAL2K model was selected for water quality simulation. Simulated water quality were compared with the observed for BOD, SS, TN, and TP. R2 were ranged 0.8508~0.9913, RMSE were 0.005~0.52 mg/L, and NSE were 0.949~0.998 for water quality items, respectively. The QUAL2K model simulation results indicated that the water quality improvement effect by providing the environmental flows(3,000 ton/day) were 9.2% for BOD, 21.0% for SS, -9.0% for TN, -2.4% for TP, respectively.

This study attempts to estimate the value of the water quality improvement by deriving the equilibrium price of the water pollutant emission permit for the imaginary water pollutant emission trading market. It is reasonable to say that there is already an implicit social agreement for the unit value of water pollutant, when the government set the Total Water Pollutant Loading System for the major river basin as a part of the Comprehensive Measures for Water Management, particularly for the Nakdong River Basin. Therefore, we can derive the unit value of water pollutant emission, which is already implied in the pollution allowance for each city or county by the Total Water Pollutant Loading System. Once estimated, it will be useful to the economic assessment of the water quality related projects. An imaginary water pollutant emission trading system for the Nakdong River Basin, where Total Water Pollutant Loading System is already effective, is constructed for the estimation of the equilibrium price of water pollutant permit. By estimating marginal abatement cost curve or each city or county, we can compute the equilibrium price of the permit and then it is regarded as the economic value of the water pollutant. The marginal net benefit function results from the relationship between the emission and the benefit, and then the equilibrium price of permit comes from constructing the excess demand function of the permit by using the total allowable permit of the local government entity. The equilibrium price of the permit would be estimated to be $1,409.3won/kg{\cdot}BOD$. This is within reasonable boundary compared for the permit price compared to foreign example. This permit price would be applied to calculate for the economic value of the water quality pollutants, and also be expected to use directly for the B/C analysis of the business involved with water quality change.

This study was carried out to apply the method of priority order selection for water quality improvement of watershed. The monitoring of flow and water quality, grouping branch streams and discharge load density were estimated on 18 branch streams located in middle and lower area of Geum River, Chungcheongnam-do. Based on average BOD concentration of stream at low flow, the results of the water quality analysis of stream which excess river living standard class 2 (less than BOD 3 mg/L) are Jeongancheon, Bangchukcheon, Gilsancheon, Jocheon, Seokseongcheon and Ganggyeongcheon. As a result of grouping stream, stream that have more than $10\;m^3/min$ of flow and more than 3.0 mg/L of average BOD concentration such as Group A are Jocheon, Seokseongcheon, Ganggyeongcheon and Jeongancheon. In Group A, stream corresponds to over than discharge load density as of 10 BOD kg/$day{\cdot}km^2$ is Jocheon, Seokseongcheon and Ganggyeongcheon. In view of the selected results to improve water quality basin through monitoring of flow and water quality, grouping stream, and estimation of discharge load density, Jocheon in Yeongi, Seokseongcheon located on the border of Buyeo and Nonsan, Ganggyeongcheon on Nonsan such as stream basin were urgent to improve water quality.
