This study estirmted the appropriate pollutant load reduction from point sources in Jinhae Bay, Korea, using an eco system model. The results of COD values in the inner part of the bay obtained through the simulation by ecosystem model were greater than 3.0mg/L, and exceeded the limits of Korean Coastal Water Quality Grade III. Engineering countermeasures to reduce the $70\sim90%$ of all land based pollution load or organic and inorganic material loads from point sources by more than 50% were required to keep the COD levels below 2 mg/L. The reduction loads is 5,632kg/day of COD, 481kg/day of DIP and 7,991 kg/day of DIN in case of the reduction of both the organic and nutrients. The estimated environmental currying capacity of that case is 13,112kg/day of COD, 206kg/day of DIP and 3,425kg/day of DIN to keep the COD levels below 2mg/L.

국내에는 17,500여개의 농업용 저수지가 전국적으로 분포하고 있으며, 이들 저수지는 인공호소이다. 농업용 저수지의 총 유효저수량은 2,838백만$m^3$에 달하고 있으며, 전체 수리답의 약 76%에 해당하는 593천ha의 농경지에 물을 관개하고 있다(2013농업생산기반통계연보). 최근 농어촌지역의 도농복합형태 개발 및 관광지, 유원지화로 농업용 저수지 유역의 오염원이 지속적으로 증가하는 추세에 있으며, 이로 인해 농업용수 수질이 지속적으로 악화되고 있다. 특히, 늦봄에서 초가을까지 외기온도 상승 및 저수율 저하와 함께 부영양화 증가, 녹조 대발생 등으로 수질오염도가 급상승하고 있으며, 이로 인해 호 내 물고기 폐사, 악취발생 등으로 민원이 다수 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 농업용 저수지의 물리적 특성을 분석하여 농업용 저수지 수질개선을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 농업용 저수지 17,489개소를 수혜면적별로 분류해 보면 5ha이하가 7,808개소(44.7%), 5~10ha이하 4,277개소(24.5%), 10~20ha 2,772개소(15.9%), 20~30ha 797개소(4.6%), 30~40ha 385개소(2.2%), 40~50ha 238개소(1.4%), 50ha이상 1,201개소(6.9%)로 구성되어 있어 50ha이하가 전체의 93.1%에 이르고 있다. 유효저수량별 분포현황은 10천$m^3$이하가 7,996개소(45.7%), 10~50천$m^3$ 6,420개소(36.7%), 50~100천$m^3$ 1,003개소(5.7%), 100~300천$m^3$ 868개소(5.0%)로 전체 시설 중 50천$m^3$이하가 전체 저수지의 82.4%로 대부분이 소규모 저수지임을 알 수 있다. 농업용 저수지를 유효수심별로 구분해보면 1m이하가 전체의 26.6%, 3m이하가 전체의 77.1%, 5m이하가 전체의 91.1%로 국내 대부분의 저수지들은 수심이 5m 이하의 저류지 형태의 저수지임을 알 수 있다. 저수지를 유역배율(유역면적/만수면적)에 따라 구분해보면 유역배율 3이하가 전체의 1.2%이고, 5이상이 전체의 97.4%를 차지하고 있다. 일반적으로 유역배율이 3이상이면 부영양화에 취약한 호소로 분류되고 있다. 국내 농업용 저수지는 대부분이 수심이 낮고, 유효저수량이 소규모이며, 유역배율이 3이상인 호소가 대부분으로 태생적으로 수질오염 및 부영양화에 취약한 구조로 되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 농업용 저수지 수질개선을 위한 종합계획 수립시에는 유입수 및 호내 대책과 함께 호소의 물리적 조건을 개선시키는 방안에 대해서도 검토가 요구된다. 특히 저수지 신규 설치시에는 수량관리 뿐만 아니라 수질도 함께 고려된 물리적 인자에 대한 설계가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The status and changes of water quality of national fishing harbors and designated ports in East Coast of Korea were analyzed to support establishment effective water environmental management. COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) concentration was satisfied to designated water quality criteria in most areas, but TN (Total Nitrogen) and TP (Total Phosphorus) exceeded the criteria frequently. Also, peak concentration was summer in COD and SS (Suspended Solid), but winter in TP. Eutrophication index of Ganggu and Pohang (old) area were the highest. Pollution index by function of COD, TN, and TP of Ganggu, Pohang, Jumunjin, and Guryongpo was high with gradual increasing recently, on the contrary, that of Samcheok, Imwon, and Chuksan was decreased. Pollution index involving multi-indictors relation to organics and inorganics was necessary for water quality assessment. Designated water quality criteria needed to be improved because the criteria of Jukbyun and Chuksan was applied more strictly compared to the other regions although without difference of environmental characteristics. Furthermore, the criteria notified lately needed to be related to management pollutants from land-based sources. The continuous diagnosis and monitoring on sediment quality within the study area were necessary for prevention of water pollution and eco-friendly disposal of dredged sediment. Especially, monitoring of Designated Ports was implemented partially, however monitoring ratio of National Fishing Har-bors was 7% to whole part. Therefore, systematic and integrated environmental monitoring for ports and harbors with charge of national management was reestablished by strengthening and securing a legal basis.

In this study, a HSPF model was developed to simulate runoff and water quality in the Haebancheon watershed, which has a high land area ratio and population density among the West Nakdong River watersheds. Various non-point source pollution control strategies were applied, and the reduction in pollutant loads and the exceedance rate of water quality standards were analyzed. The scenarios included basic road cleaning for reducing pollutant loads, runoff reduction measures considering extensive low-impact development techniques, and inflow reduction measures to mitigate non-point source pollution entering the river. In the first step, practical conditions such as the number of vehicles for road cleaning in Kimhae City were considered, while for the second and third steps, it was assumed that 50% of the applicable land use area was used to be applicable for the LID techniques. As a result of applying all three measures, it was analyzed that the BOD pollutant load could be reduced by 58.28%, T-N by 58.49%, and T-P by 51.56%. Furthermore, the 60th percentile of water quality measurements accumulated over 5 years was set as the target water quality, and a flow-duration curve was constructed. The exceedance rate of the flow-duration curve before and after applying non-point source pollution reduction measures was analyzed. As a result, for BOD, the exceedance rate decreased from 41.57% before applying the measures to 16.32% after, showing a 25.25% reduction in the exceedance rate. For T-N, the exceedance rate decreased significantly from 40.31% before the measures to 22.84% after, and for T-P, it decreased significantly from 62.43% to 27.22%.

A mathematical modeling program called Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) developed by USDA was applied to Kyongan stream watershed. It was run under BASINS (Better Assessment Science for Integrating point and Non-point Sources) program, and the model was calibrated and validated using KTMDL monitoring data of 2004${\sim}$2008. The model efficiency of flow ranged from very good to fair in comparison between simulated and observed data and it was good in the water quality parameters like flow range. The model reliability and performance were within the expectation considering complexity of the watershed and pollutant sources. The results of pollutant loads estimation as yearly (2004${\sim}$2008), pollutant loadings from 2006 were higher than rest of year caused by high precipitation and flow. Average non-point source (NPS) pollution rates were 30.4%, 45.3%, 28.1% for SS, TN and TP respectably. The NPS pollutant loading for SS, TN and TP during the monsoon rainy season (June to September) was about 61.8${\sim}$88.7% of total NPS pollutant loading, and flow volume was also in a similar range. SS concentration depended on precipitation and pollution loading patterns, but TN and TP concentration was not necessarily high during the rainy season, and showed a decreasing trend with increasing water flow. SWAT based on BASINS was applied to the Kyongan stream watershed successfully without difficulty, and it was found that the model could be used conveniently to assess watershed characteristics and to estimate pollutant loading including point and non-point sources in watershed scale.

Non-point pollutants from surface runoff during rainfall exert adverse effects on urban river water quality management. In particular, the first flush effect during the initial phase of rainfall can deliver significant amounts of pollutant loads to surface waters with extremely high concentrations. In this study, a sustainable first flush effect management system was developed by using settling and filtration that require no additional power or chemicals. A pilot scale experiment has shown that the removal of total suspended solid (TSS), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) are in ranges of 84 - 95%, 31 - 46%, and 42 - 86%, respectively. An Integrated Stormwater Runoff Management System (ISTORMS) was also developed to efficiently manage the developed system by linking weather forecast, flow rate and water quality modeling of surface runoff and automatic monitoring systems in fields and in the system. This study can provide effective solutions for the management of urban river in terms of both quantity and quality.

The development and reduction scheme under implementation plan of TMDLs were performed in the Jinwi watershed including 8 cities (Gunpo, Yongin, Suwon, Anseong, Osan, Uiwang, Pyeongtaek and Hwaseong) since 2012. Progress of the annual development schemes was faster than the reduction schemes in most of the cities during the planning period. Main load reduction methods included establishment and enlargement of sewage treatment plants, resources of livestock excretions, and introduction of best management practices of non-point source pollution. Especially, reduction load using recycling and composting of livestock excretions comprised 34.1% of all reduction load. It is necessary to implement methodical development and reduction scheme for making of successful performance of TMDLs and water quality improvement in the Jinwi watershed.

The influence of land use and pollutant source on water quality was investigated using 3-yrs monitoring data major influent stream in Hwaong reservoir watershed. The seven water quality station (N1, N2, J1, J3, J4, E2, E3) were used analysis of land use and pollutant effect, and six water quality station (N3, N4, J2, J5, E1, E4) were used analysis of waster quality status. Water quality parameter were positively correlated with residential and forest, negatively with paddy and upland especially during dry period. During wet period, correlation between land use and water quality was less apparent. Population and livestock density was correlated well to water quality parameter than just number of population and livestock. The watersheds studied are mainly non-urban and their land uses are similar to typical watershed of other estuarine reservoirs, therefore, the correlation developed in this study might be helpful to manage other estuarine reservoir watersheds.

수질개선을 위한 많은 노력의 결과 대전광역시를 관통하는 대전 3태 하천인 갑천, 유등천, 대전천의 수질은 1990년 초반을 기점으로 많은 개선효과를 보이고 있다. 그러나 도시화에 따른 불투성층의 증가와 저류능력 감소, 치수를 목적으로 한 하도정비 등에 의하여 기저유출량은 과거에 비해 현저히 감소하였으며, 이로 인하여 갈수기에는 유량이 적어 생태적이고 친수적인 다양한 하천기능 수행에 많은 어려움을 초래하고 있다. 그러므로 대전광역시에서는 도심생태하천조성을 위한 방안으로 바람직한 하천기능을 회복하기 위하여 $70,000m^3/day$의 갑천수와 하수처리장에서 고도처리 된 $60,000m^3/day$의 방류수 중 $80,000m^3/day$를 각각 대전천과 유등천 상류지역에 공급하여 하천유지용수로서 사용하는 계획을 수립하였다. 하류지역에서의 갑천수와 고도처리 된 하수처리수를 대전천과 유등천의 상류지역에 하천유지용수로 공급함으로서 대전천과 유등천은 갈수기에도 각각 약 $1m^/sec,\;1.3m^3/sec$ 이상의 유량을 유지할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 갑천수와 고도처리수를 유지용수로 사용할 경우에 대한 수질변화를 QUAL2E를 이용하여 모의를 실시하였다. 유등천 합류부에서의 갑천수를 대전천 상류지역에 공급할 경우. 대전천에서의 수질은 $II\~III$등급을 유지할 것으로 보인다. 대전시의 지하철공사에서 발생하는 약 $9,600m^3/day$가량의 용출수와 대청호소수의 상수원수를 이용한 $10,000m^3/day$의 희석수를 유지용수로서 추가적으로 사용할 경우, 대전천의 BOD는 약 0.3mg/L가량의 개선효과가 있을 것으로 예상된다. 2011년 고도처리시설 완공시 방류수의 예상 수질은 BOD 10mg/L, TN 15mg/L, TP 2.0mg/L이하로 이를 유등천 상류부에 공급할 경우 유등천의 수질은 BOD 6.7mg/L, TN 9.80mg/L, TP 0.90mg/L를 나타낼 것으로 예측된다. 고도처리시설의 도입 후 금강 합류점에서 갑천의 예측 BOD는 7.4mg/L로 현재 9.0mg/L에 비하여 개선되지만 이는 금강수계 오염총량 관리계획의 시$\cdot$도 경계지점 목표수질인 5.9mg/L를 만족시키지 못하므로, 이를 만족시키기 위해서는 방류수 BOD 7.2mg/L이하로 처리해야 할 것으로 판단된다.
