The feasibility of stimulating in situ aerobic cometabolic activity of indigenous microorganisms was investigated in a trichloroethene(TCE)-contaminated aquifer, A series of single-well natural drift tests (SWNDT) was conducted by injecting site groundwater amended with a bromide tracer and combinations of toluene, oxygen, nitrate, ethylene and TCE into an existing monitoring well and by sampling the same well over time. Transformation of ethylene, a surrogate of overall TCE transformation activity, was also observed, and its transformation results in the production of ethylene oxide, suggesting that some tolune-oxidizing microorganisms stimulated may express a monooxygenase enzymes. Also in situ transformation of TCE was confirmed by dilution-adjusted data analysis developed in this study. These results indicate that, in this environment, toluene and oxygen additions stimulated the growth and aerobic cometabolic activity of indigenous microorganisms expressing monooxygenase enzymes and that these are responsible for observed toluene utilization and cometabolism of ethylene and TCE. The simple, low-cost field test method provides an effective method for conducting rapid field assessments and pilot testing of aerobic cometabolism of TCE, which has previously hindered application of this technology to groundwater remediation.

해수침투는 대수층의 염분 농도를 증가시켜 지하수 염분화에 의한 용수의 부족 등을 야기시키며 다른 지하수 오염과 마찬가지로 회복에 대한 막대한 비용과 시간이 소모되어 피해지역에 대한 정확한 현황파악이 어려워 피해방지대책의 수립이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 흐름과 이송을 모의할 수 있는 GMS-FEMWATER 모델을 이용하여 대상지역의 지층구조를 구분하고 실제 대상지역의 지층과 동일하게 모델링하여 해안지역의 해수침투에 대한 특성을 규명하였다. 분석결과 양수기간이 길어 질수록 지하수두강하 폭이 양수기간 30일, 60일, 90일 및 180일 경과 시 초기 수위에서 점차 4.25m (1.36%), 3.5m (1.13%), 2.96m (0.97%), 1.97m (0.65%)으로 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 양수량이 많은 관정일수록 해수 침투가 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 양수기간 30일 0.59mg/l, 채수 60일 1.65mg/l, 채수 90일 3.14mg/l, 180일 5.55mg/l으로 분석되었다. 이결과로 볼 때 양수기간 초기에서 기간이 지날 수록 해수침투가 큰영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

지하수개발 이용의 허가시 지하수 양수로 인한 주변지역에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 지하수의 고갈과 오염을 예측하고 이를 사전에 방지함으로써 지하수의 보전과 합리적인 이용을 도모하고자 지하수영향조사제도가 시행되어 왔다. 특히 하천구역의 경계로부터 300미터 내의 지역에서 지하수를 개발 이용하는 경우에는 지하수영향조사서를 첨부하여 국토해양부장관과 미리 협의하도록 되어있고, 이 때 지하수개발 이용이 하천의 수량에 영향을 미친다고 인정하는 경우에는 취수량 취수 기간의 제한 및 취수 금지 등을 요청할 수 있다. 그러나, 하천인근의 지하수 양수가 하천수에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 기법이 마련되어있지 않아 실무적으로 지하수영향조사 및 허가 절차상 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하수 이용에 따른 하천수량 변화를 예측할 수 있는 간편 상관관계식을 지표수-지하수 통합모의 결과를 이용하여 유도 제시하였다. 지표수-지하수 통합모의를 위해서 SWAT-MODFLOW 결합모형을 적용하였고, 두 개의 시험유역에 대해 가상의 양수정 설치에 따른 하천수량 변화량을 평가하는 시나리오 분석을 수행하였다. 상관관계는 다중회귀분석을 통해서 하천수 감소량을 지하수 양수량, 하천과 양수정 이격거리, 대수층 및 하천바닥의 수리전도특성, 강수량 등의 함수로 나타내었다.

This study was carried out evaluate to identify water quality and contamination characteristics of the shallow groundwater. and their seasonal variation in the rual area of the Yongin city. Groundwater sample were collected two times (in April and September) from a total of 19 well for domestic water supply. and surface-water samples from six locations. For cations, Ca and Mg predominated. In anion competition. the influence of Cl was obvious in the april samples. However. HCO$_3$ was a major component in the september samples. Electric conductivities and the concentrations of NO$_3$-N in groundwater samples significantly decreased from the april samples to the september samples This indicates a significant seasonal variation in the shallow groundwater composition. When the shallow aquifer is connected to the surface water. then metals sorbed on the stream sediments could occur at nearby wells through the induced recharge. Contaminants at ground surface appeared to be transported to the groundwater system infiltration during the spring melt.

Nonaqueous phase liquids(NAPL) not readily dissolved in water exist as a separate fluid phase. Groundwater contamination by NAPL such as organic solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons becomes major public concerns because of their long-term persistence in the subsurFace and their ability to contaminate large volumes of wate. Dense.-than-water NAPL(DNAPL) spilled into the subsurface penetrate through the saturated zone and ultimately form DNAPL pools on the bottom of the aquifer. The dissolution of DNAPL from these pools depends on the molecular diffusion coefficient, the vertical dispersivity, the groundwater velocity, the solubility, and the pool length. In this study, the vertical transverse dispersion coefficients for simulating the dissolution of DNAPL from such pools were obtained from the dissolution experiment. Under the experimental conditions used, the vertical transverse dispersion coefficients calculated were 1.86$cm^2$/day, 2.90$cm^2$/day and 4.51$cm^2$/4ay for seepage velocities of 59.2cm/day, 94.3cm/day and 158.0cm/day, respectively. And the vertical transverse dispersivity was 0.03024cm.

We have collected hydrogeochemical data of shallow groundwaters in the Uljin area located at eastern coastal area of Korea. Geostatistical analysis (ANOVA test, cluster analysis, and factor analysis) of the collected data sets was pert'onned, in order to evaluate both the spatial and/or temporal variation of water quality data and the groundwater contamination, as weJl as the principal reactions occurring in the aquifer. Results of the ANOVA test show that regional water chemistry are not significantly changed spatially in eight watersheds. However, some ions such as $Ca^{2+}$, $HCO_{3}^{-}$ and $SO_{4}^{2-}$ show a meaningful watershed variation. Water chemistry variation according to sampling time (season) is not shown, except for $SO_{4}^{2-}$. The cluster analysis shows that significant water chemistry variation is eXplained by the distance from the coast. Factor analysis indicates that the water chemistry is changed according to various factors as follows: in the order of decreasing importance, water-rock interaction (mainly, carbonate dissolution), sea-salt spraying, and then contamination by fertilizers and agrochemicals.

Groundwater pollution prediction methods have been developed to plan the sustainable groundwater usage and protection from potential pollution in many countries. DRASTIC established by US EPA is the most widely used groundwater vulnerability mapping method. However, the DRASTIC showed limitation in predicting the groundwater contamination because the DRASTIC method is designed to embrace only hydrogeologic factors. Therefore, in this study, three different methods were applied to improve a groundwater pollution prediction method: US EPA DRASTIC, Modified-DRASTIC suggested by Panagopoulos et al. (2006), and LSDG (Land use, Soil drainage, Depth to water, Geology) proposed by Rupert (1999). The Modified-DRASTIC is the modified version of the DRASTIC in terms of the rating scales and the weighting coefficients. The rating scales of each factor were calculated by the statistical comparison of nitrate concentrations in each class using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test; while the weighting coefficients were modified by the statistical correlation of each parameter to nitrate concentrations using the Spearman's rho test. The LSDG is a simple rating method using four factors such as Land use, Soil drainage, Depth to water, and Geology. Classes in each factor are compared by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test which gives a different rating to each class if the nitrate concentration in the class is significantly different. A database of nitrate concentrations in groundwaters from 149 wells was built in Keumsan area. Application of three different methods for assessing the groundwater pollution potential resulted that the prediction which was represented by a correlation (r) between each index and nitrate was improved from the EPA DRASTIC (r = 0.058) to the modified rating (r = 0.245), to the modified rating and weights (r = 0.400), and to the LSDG (r = 0.415), respectively. The LSDG seemed appropriate to predict the groundwater pollution in that it contained land use as a factor of the groundwater pollution sources and the rating of each class was defined by a real pollution nitrate concentration.

In-situ Air Sparging (IAS, AS) is a groundwater remediation technique, in which organic contaminants are volatilized into air as it rises from saturated to vadose soil zone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of environmental conditions on the degradation of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and $CO_2$ in the unsaturated zone and TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons) in saturated zone of sandy loam. In the laboratory, diesel (10,000 mg TPH/kg)-contaminated saturated soil. After heating the soil for 36 days, the equilibrium temperature of soil reached to $34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$ and TPH concentration was reduced to 78.9% of the initial value, Volatilization loss of VOCs in TPH was about 2%, The reduction gradient of $CO_2$ concentration was 0.018/day in air space and 0.0007/day in unsaturated zone.
