최근 환경부에서 발표한 「제3차(2021~2025) 강우유출 비점오염관리 종합대책(2020)」에 의하면, 우리나라는 지난 50년간 급격한 도시화, 산업화 과정을 거치면서 불투수면적이 전 국토의 약 22.4%에 달한다고 보고되고 있다. 특히 전체 소권역의 6%에 해당하는 51개 소권역의 경우 불투수 면적률 25%를 넘어서고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 불투수면의 증가는 기후변화에 의한 영향으로 토양 침투량과 기저유출량을 감소, 갈수기 하천건천화 심화, 우기 표면유출수 증가를 가중시키며 이로인한 비점오염물질 유입 증가, 수질 악화의 원인으로 작용 될 수 있다. 이에 정부에서는 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 사업 및 친환경그린인프라(Green Infrastructure, GI) 기술요소를 적용하여 도시지역 기후위기 대응 수단의 일원으로 우수유출 저감, 물순환 구조 개선, 비점오염원을 관리하고자 '그린빗물인프라(Green Stormwater Infrastructure, GSI) 조성 사업'을 추진하여 공공청사를 중심으로 학교, 도서관, 체육시설, 공원 등 적용 범위를 확대하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기후변화에 가장 취약한 해안도시지역인 경상남도에 위치하고 있으며, 불투수면적이 높고 노후화된 소규모 청사 2곳을 시범 구역으로 선정하였다. 각 시범 구역별 GSI 시설 적용이 가능한 주차장, 화단, 옥상 등의 개선방안을 제시하였으며, 적용 규모를 달리하여 물순환·물 환경 개선 효과를 검증하였다. 검증에는 국내에서 개발된 K-LIDM 모형을 활용한 우수유출저감 및 직접유출체적 산정결과를 통해 물순환 효과를, 국립환경과학원에서 제시되고 있는 '토지계 지목별 발생부하원단위', 수질환경개선 보고서에서 제시된 침투형, 식생형 비점오염저감시설의 저감효율을 활용하여 물순환 저감효과를 분석하여 비교하였다.

이상기후로 인한 강우패턴의 변화는 상류 유역에서의 토양 유실, 비점오염물질의 발생을 가속화시켜 하류 수계의 수질 및 수생태 건강성에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 낙동강 수계에 위치한 내성천 유역에서는 토양 침투율이 높은 토양군으로 구성되어 있어, 강우 시 유출량 및 유사유출량의 비율이 높아 비점오염 저감을 위한 대책 수립의 중요성이 지속적으로 제기되어 왔다. 특히, 내성천 유역 내 상류에 위치한 토일천 및 낙화암천 소유역에서는 다양한 영농활동과 대규모 및 소규모 축사의 영향으로 강우 시 다양한 비점오염물질이 많이 발생하고 있다. 하류 하천에서의 수질을 효율적으로 개선하기 위해서는 비점오염 발생량이 높은 상류 소유역을 대상으로 적절한 최적관리기법 선정과 이에 대한 정량적인 평가 방법이 필요하다. 최근 식생여과대, 침사지 등과 같은 다양한 최적관리기법 중 인공습지에 대한 점오염원 및 비점오염물질 처리 효과가 국내·외 여러 모니터링 연구를 통해 증명되었다. 그러나 아직까지 유역 내 다양한 토양 및 토지이용상태와 그리고 오염원 유출 특성을 고려하여 인공습지의 조성에 따른 유역단위에서의 수질 개선 효과를 정량적으로 분석한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 장기 강우-유출 유역단위 모형인 SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) 내 인공습지 모의가 가능하도록 모형 소스코드를 수정하였으며, 내성천 상류 소유역(토일천, 낙화암천)에 위치한 인공습지 조성 전후에 따른 유역 말단에서의 유사 및 비점오염물질의 저감 효율을 비교 분석하였다. 향후 본 연구의 결과는 내성천 유역을 대상으로 인공습지를 통한 유사 및 비점오염 저감 대책 수립 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

The Construction of industrial complex areas means the increase of imperviousness rate and the increase of nonpoint pollutant emissions during a rainfall. Generally the retention basin can become the alternative for removing and controling these nonpoint pollutants. Recently Ministry of Environment are trying to change the purpose of retention basins from flooding control to nonpoint pollutant control. In order to propel the stormwater management program, administration plan of stormwater management is enacted in Spring, 2005. Hereafter, in a newly developing area, the best management practices should be established to control the nonpoint pollutant. Landuses of the research area are classified to the categories of the 1st manufacturing industry, metal industry, fiber and chemical product manufacturing industry, etc. Therefore, this research was performed to understand washed-off characteristics of stormwater and to suggest the controling method of nonpoint pollutants. The optimum capacity of the retention basin can be determined by analyzing the relationships among data of rainfall, runoff, washed-off pollutants from the areas. The rainfall analysis using the data of normal year, recent 2, 5 and 10 years shows that the 80% rainfall frequency was occurred on 10mm accumulated rainfall, but which is not considered the first flush effect. However, by considering the first flush effect, the appropriate treatment capacity of rainfall can be decreased to 4-5mm accumulated rainfall. Using the criteria, the optimum capacity of retention basin is determined to $12,000m^3$ in the research area. The washed-off nonpoint pollutant loading from the areas have beeb calculated to 435ton/yr for TSS, 238ton/yr for COD, 8,518kg/yr for TKN and 1,816kg/yr for TP. The mass of 78.3ton/yr for TSS, 20.4ton/yr for BOD, 128.6ton/yr for COD, 4.6ton/yr for TKN and 980kg/yr for TP can be reduced by constructing the retention basin. The sediment accumulation rate is also calculated by $6.53kg/m^2-hr$.

Seasonal variations of major contaminants in groundwater around livestock burial areas in Gyeonggi province, Korea, were examined. Seven typical contamination indicators ($NO_3$-N, $NH_3$-N, chloride, pH, DO, ORP, and EC) were monitored in groundwater samples collected from 84 wells located within 60 m of livestock burial sites for the leachate plume emanating from the livestock burial sites. The monitoring results of pH, DO, ORP, and EC revealed minimal seasonal variations, providing no evidence for leachate plumes. The $NO_3$-N concentrations were below 30 mg/L and exhibited minimal seasonal fluctuations, even in the wells located close to (< 20 m) the burial sites; the $NH_3$-N and chloride concentrations also showed similar results. The contamination indicators examined in this study indicate that the observed groundwater contamination is primarily from preexisting pervasive contamination due to agricultural activities and livestock farming, not leachates derived from nearby livestock burial sites.

The dominant land use at the Seonakdong river watershed is paddy and forest areas and the Seonakdong river stands still. Thus, the water pollution in the Seonakdong river is becoming more serious for the non-point source. In this study, SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model was evaluated for simulation of flow and water quality behaviors in Seonakdong river. To perform the calibration and verification of the SWAT model, the measurements of discharge and water quality were performed for the period from 2006 to 2007 at 5 gauging stations in Seonakdong river. The $R^2$ value for discharge and water quality were 0.86 and 0.70 respectively for calibration after the sensitive analysis. The $R^2$ value for discharge and water quality were 0.81 and 0.51 respectively for verification. The simulation results show that BOD value in the river tends to decrease after the opening of gates and the patterns of TN and TP concentrations are similar as that of BOD. The gate operators need to determine how to supply water in drought season for effective water quality improvement. This study shows that the SWAT model, which is capable of simulating hydrologic and water quality behaviors temporarily and spatially at watershed scale, could be used to get the gate operation rule for the water quality management in Seonakdong river.

This study was carried out to produce the characteristics of pollutant loads caused by a cherry tree plot as a nonpoint sources(NPS) unit in agricultural areas. The relationship between rainfall and runoff didn't show a good coefficient with 0.5. Despite precipitation amount was less than 20 mm, runoff occurred with $0.5\;m^3$ because of high rainfall intensity of 8.8 mm/hr. In contrast, runoff was not occurred when precipitation amount was 47.4 mm in one case. In that case the primal effect on runoff was not precipitation amount. Correlation between load of pollutants such as BOD, COD, TN and TP and runoff' volumes showed significantly positive values which were more than r = 0.92 for all pollutants except SS(r = 0.71). SS could be a proper factor for estimating pollutant loads of BOD, COD, TN and TP because of a high correlation more than r = 0.73 between SS load and pollutant loads of BOD, COD, TN and TP. Both Organics and nutrient pollutants could be reduced if we control SS in runoff. The highest concentration of TN was detected in the event which was affected by fertilization activities directly. Therefore fertilization must be considered as a function of impact parameters on TN load in agricultural areas.

The spatial and temporal distribution of dissolved trace metals has been studied to identify trends in space and time and to evaluate the pollution status in a semi-closed bay (Gohyun bay), Korea. Surface seawater samples were collected over four seasons at 18 stations in the bay between 2003 and 2004 and once at 7 stations around a large shipyard in May 2004. The concentration of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in seawater in February and May were highly variable in space, showing the higher value relative to other season. Those metals concentrations were decreased from inner-to outer-stations. In around the shipyard, Cu, Pb and Zn showed the higher variability depending on time. Cu and Zn concentrations at the sites around the shipyard had 2 times higher values compared with the average of inner stations in Gohyun bay. The very high correlations between salinity and either Cu and Zn has been showed. Especially, there was a significant relationship between Cu and Zn. We recognize that the shipyard is major source of Cu and Zn in seawater. Therefore, marine environment management policy such as the prevention and control of heavy metal input from a shipyard is required.

강우기에 하천 유역에서의 탁수 발생은 대상 지역의 토양, 토지 이용형태와 식생 분포, 강우의 강도, 토지의 경사 등에 따라 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에는 토지의 이용형태에 따른 강우 시 탁수 발생량을 평가하고자 용담댐 유역의 탁수 발생특성 조사를 실시하였다. 2005년의 조사지점은 유역면적이 가장 작은 주자천 유역과 구량천, 금강본류를 대상으로 하였다. 구량천과 금강본류는 용담댐 유역을 구성하는 가장 큰 두 소유역이며 다를 지역에 비해 오염원이 많아 용담댐수질에 많은 영향을 주는 하천이다. 현장조사는 6월 27일부터 7월 3일 까지 실시하였다. 2007년 조사 대상 지역은 주자천 유역의 주천교 지점과 금강본류 유역의 월곡교 지점을 선정하였다. 현장조사는 6월21${\sim}$22일, 9월14${\sim}$15일 2회에 걸쳐 실시하였으며 시간별 현장 탁도 측정 및 시료 채취를 통한 분석을 병행하였다. 2005년에 실시한 조사결과 오염원이 많고 유역이 넓은 천천은 7월 1일에 유입량이 최대로 348.16CMS였으며, 그날 탁도는 오후 2시 10분조사시에 최대 2060NTU를 나타냈다. 구량천은 같은날 조사를 실시하여 유량은 최대 200.33CMS였고, 최대 탁도는 763NTU를 나타냈다. 반면 주자천에서는 최대 탁도가 98.4NTU를 나타내 가장 탁도가 높은 금강본류와는 약 13배의 차이를 나타냈다. 2007년 1차 조사는 6월 21${\sim}$22일에 걸쳐 이루어 졌다. 주천교 지점은 시간최대 강우 17mm가 발생한 시점에 최대 92NTU의 탁도를 나타내었고 그 이후 감소하여 20NTU이하의 탁도를 유지하였다. 반면, 월곡교 지점은 시간최대 23mm의 강우가 발생하였고, 최대 탁도는 3,610NTU에 도달하였으며 1,000NTU이상의 고탁도가 6시간 이상 유지된 후, 시간이 지남에 따라 점차 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 미개발지역인 주천교 지점의 경우 강우에 의한 탁수 발생이 상대적으로 적음을 보여주고 있으며 월곡교 지점과 같이 개발로 인해 노출된 토양의 경우 강우에 의해 쉽게 침식이 일어나 고탁도의 탁수를 발생시킴을 보여준다. 그러나 주천교지점에서 2005년에 조사한 자료와 비교해 보면 2007년이 적은 강우임에도 불구하고 탁도는 높게 나타난 결과를 나타내고 있으며 이는 토지이용의 고도화에 따른 영향으로 판단되었다. 연구 결과 유역내에서 탁수 발생은 같은 강도의 강우에 있어서 큰 차이를 보이고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 강우기에 저수지에서의 탁수 문제의 해결을 위해서는 상류 유역의 탁수 발생원 관리가 중요함을 보여주고 있으며, 토지 이용 형태에 따른 토양 침식 방지 대책이 강우기의 댐 내 탁도 문제를 개선할 수 있는 중요한 방안으로 판단된다.

In this paper, observed water quality, algal blooms and flow rates in the Yeongsan River and its boundaries including 8 tributaries and 2 wastewater treatment plants for two years of 2018-2019 were analyzed. It seems effects of non-point source load inputs from basin areas to the river may be significant though the field data availability was limited. The EFDC model was calibrated against data collected from 6 water level monitoring stations and 6 water quality monitoring stations, respectively, in the study area. Water quality improvement scenarios were developed assuming 50% and 75% reductions of major pollution sources including treatment plants and tributaries. The developed scenarios were applied to the EFDC model to estimate effects on algal bloom occurrences in the Seungchon weir and Juksan weir. Improvement of the effluent of Gwangju 1 WWTP by 75% did not show any effect on algal blooms for two weir locations. The major tributary affecting algal blooms in the Seungchon weir was the Hwangryong River. The Jisuk stream was found as the most important tributary for the Juksan weir followed by the effect of the Hwangryong River. Though it seems other scattered small nonpoint source load input to the Yeongsan river also seem to be important, it was not possible to reflect their effects appropriately due to field data availability.

Mean annual soil loss was calculated and critical soil erosion areas were identified for the Congaree River Basin in South Carolina, USA using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) model. In the RUSLE model, the mean annual soil loss (A) can be calculated by multiplying rainfall-runoff erosivity (R), soil erodibility (K), slope length and steepness (LS), crop-management (C), and support practice (P) factors. The critical soil erosion areas can be identified as the areas with soil loss amounts (A) greater than the soil loss tolerance (T) factor More than 10% of the total area was identified as a critical soil erosion area. Among seven subwatersheds within the Congaree River Basin, the urban areas of the Congaree Creek and the Gills Creek subwatersheds as well as the agricultural area of the Cedar Creek subwatershed appeared to be exposed to the risk of severe soil loss. As a prototype model for examining future effect of human and/or nature-induced changes on soil erosion, the RUSLE model customized for the area was embedded into ESRI ArcGIS ArcMap 9.0 using Visual Basic for Applications. Using the embedded model, users can modify C, LS, and P-factor values for each subwatershed by changing conditions such as land cover, canopy type, ground cover type, slope, type of agriculture, and agricultural practice types. The result mean annual soil loss and critical soil erosion areas can be compared to the ones with existing conditions and used for further soil loss management for the area.
