기후변화의 영향으로 국내의 강우량과 강우패턴의 변화가 나타나고 있다. 최근 30년 여름철 집중호우의 평균강수량은 1980년 694.5 mm에서 2000년대 768.7 mm로 평균강수량이 74.2 mm 증가하였다. 평균강수일수는 36일에서 40일로 약 4일 증가하였다. 집중호우의 증가로 국소적 홍수에 의한 재해규모가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 토양침식은 물의 순환과정에서 있어 나타나는 하나의 현상으로 토양손실을 의미한다. 강우량과 지형 및 토양특성이 토양침식량을 결정하는 주요한 요인이다. 토양침식은 농경지 감소, 고탁수 하천유입, 하천 및 호소내 퇴적으로 인한 수생태환경 변화 등의 다양한 문제를 발생시키고 있다. 그동안 우리나라는 토양침식량을 예측하기 위해 연평균 토양침식예측모형을 적용하고 있으며, 최근에 강우강도를 고려한 토양침식모형에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 동일한 강우량을 Huff 방법을 이용하여 24시간 강수량 자료를 만들고 물리적기반 토양침식모형에 적용하여 나타나는 토양침식과 퇴적 공간분포에 대하여 분석하고자 한다.

Bottled water companies submit monthly hydrologic data including periodical environmental effects investigation, daily water production capacity, water production, water level, water chemistry (pH, EC, temperature) per hour and strictly manage groundwater by periodical analyses. Thus few problems concerning drawdown due to excess intake of groundwater take place. Nevertheless, bottled water companies are imprinted as a contribution to civil affairs resulted regarding groundwater near the companies. Therefore, a new method is required during water balance analysis in environmental effects evaluation, which should be compatible with the evaluation by hydrologic experts as well more accessible to non-experts. In this study, water level of surface water and recharge rate in subcatchment where water production wells are located were measured and monthly baseflow rates were separated from normal streams. Besides, recharge properties of groundwater and surface water in the same catchment area were estimated using analyses of oxygen and hydrogen isotopes in groundwater (production well), surface water, and rainfall.

This study is aimed at classifying the syntaxa of Ceratopteris thalictroides dominant community on the Nakdong River, and to collect basic data for research of habitat. The communities were carried out by using the Z.-M. School's method and numerical classification technique. The result of syntaxa was classified three communities such as Persicaria japonica-Ceratopteris thalictroides community, Lindernia procumbens-Ceratropteris thalictroides community, and Limnophila indica-Ceratopteris thalictroides community. The ordination analysis displayed the vegetation types with respect to complex environmental gradients. After ordination and clustering analysis, the effective humidity, soil stability, trampling effects, anthropogenic effects and flooding frequency were identified as the important factors deciding the vegetation pattern. It was pointed out to establish a long-term ecological site for protecting such vulnerable vegetation against overexploitation and global climate change.

TOC environmental standard was established to understand the pollution level accurately and to improve the water quality. It was found that the relationship between COD and TOC showed a significant coefficient($R^2$=0.639) in four lakes for drinking water located in Nakdong River basin. The relationship between COD and TOC($R^2$=0.774) was higher with respect to the elevated concentration level when the data was added. Resulting in the oxidation(C) was $62{\pm}8%$ regardless of COD concentrations. It was difficult to find a significant difference by lakes. The result showed the similar organic property in study lakes. It was necessary to evaluate the level of organic matters in consideration of characteristics and utilization of lakes to use COD data wisely until TOC data be accumulated sufficiently.

This study presents the achievements and limitations of the voluntary-based Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) through statistical analysis of water quality monitoring data and performance assessments of TMDL plans implemented in the Gyeongan watershed. The results clearly showed that responsible local governments complied the allocated TMDL and the designated water quality goals were successfully achieved in the required period. This was possible because the Ministry of Environment provided innovative incentives, such as, relaxations of the existing tight land-use regulations and full-scale financial aids for constructing and operating public treatment facilities to draw local government voluntary participation. However, a couple of problems which decreased the effectiveness and efficiency of the voluntary TMDL were identified. The different TMDL implementation schedules between upstream (Yongin) and downstream (Gwangju) governments caused delay in water quality improvement and exaggerated TMDL allocation to the local development which made excessive investment in the treatment facilities. Although it is not directly related to the voluntary scheme, technical methods for establishing and assessing the water quality goals should be improved so that the effects of flow conditions on water quality are properly assessed. We expect that results of this case study contribute to developing a more effective voluntary-based scheme for the implementation of the so-called 'tributary TMDL' in the future.

For this study the 4 sub-watersheds Okdong A, Hankang B, Jecheon A and Hankang C which are the main streams of the Han River within the mid-level region of Chungju Dam are selected and the analysis of soils has been carried out through the soil basic survey. When it comes to the soil erosion amount the soil nutrient load has been calculated by utilizing the RUSLE erosion equation. In case of the data related to the measurement of water flow and quality the information available from the "Water Information System" one of the websites run by the Ministry of Environment has been used to calculate the water pollution load. The correlation between the soil nutrient load and the water pollutant load has been analyzed through making comparison. According to the results related to the soil nutrient load of each sub-watershed the Hankang C shows the highest values TOC 29,986.92 ton/yr, TN 3,860.33 ton/yr and TP 973.97 ton/yr respectively. Even when it comes to the loads related to water quality the Hankang C shows also comparatively high values TOC 6,625.64 ton/yr, TN 7,335.01 ton/yrand TP 145.49 ton/yr respectively. The soil nutrient loads of the sub-watersheds are shown to increase towards the lower stream meaning the load increases in the order of Hankang CHankang B and Okdong A. When it comes to the water pollutant load the value goes up along down the water system meaning the load gets higher in the order of Hankang C, Hankang B and Okdong A while utilizing the mainstream within the mid-level region of Chungju Dam as the basis. The correlation study showed that the nutrient content of soil is proportional to the pollutant load in water with the strongest positive correlation with TOC.

This study investigated the chemical properties of Organic Soil Amendments (OSAs) made from organic waste. It also assessed the effectiveness of using these OSAs in the soil layer of Green Infrastructure (GI) to reduce stormwater runoff and non-point source pollutants. The goal was to improve the national environmental value through resource recycling and contribute to the circular economy transformation and carbon neutrality of urban GI. The OSAs used in this study consisted of spent coffee grounds and food waste compost. They were found to be nutrient-rich and stable as artificial soils, indicating their potential use in the soil layer of GI facilities. Applying OSAs to bio-retention cells and permeable pavement resulted in a reduction of approximately 11-17% in stormwater runoff and a decrease of about 16-18% in Total Phosphorus (TP) discharge in the target area. Increasing the proportion of food waste compost in the OSAs had a positive impact on reducing stormwater runoff and pollutant emissions. This study highlights the importance of utilizing recycled resources and can serve as a foundation for future research, such as establishing parameters for assessing the effectiveness of GI facilities through experiments. To enable more accurate analysis, it is recommended to conduct studies that consider both the chemical and biological aspects of substance transfer in OSAs.

하천과 바다가 만나는 하구는 자연적인 기능 뿐만 아니라 공학적인 측면에서도 매우 중요한 자원이다. 우리나라는 국토의 개발에 따른 용수 사용의 증가, 홍수재해대책 등으로 인해 한강을 제외한 4대강에 하구둑을 건설하였으며 강물과 바닷물을 인위적으로 차단하는 구조물이므로 하천의 생태적인 기능을 손상시키는 것은 불가피 하다. 하지만 이러한 단점에도 불구하고 하구둑이 건설되는 가장 큰 목적 중의 하나는 주변지역의 안정된 용수공급이다. 1987년에 완공된 낙동강 하구둑은 건설 이 후 약 20년 동안 안정된 용수공급과 효율적 운영으로 관리되어 왔지만 그동안 기상 및 수리 수문뿐만 아니라 환경적으로 크고 작은 변화가 있었다. 하천의 기수역인 하구에서 유체는 하구둑이라는 구조물이 존재하지 않을 때도 매우 복잡하게 거동한다. 하천의 유량, 지형학적 요소 그리고 조위의 상태 등 여러 가지 요인으로 인하여 비정상적으로 변화하며 이러한 하구에서 유체의 거동을 보다 더 정확하게 묘사하려면 흐름방향, 수심방향, 하폭방향의 3차원적인 해석이 필요하다. 하지만 하천과 바다를 밀도가 같은 하나의 상으로 가정하고 수행한 수문학적인 분석이나 1 2차원 수치모형을 활용한 수리 분석 결과는 시간적 공간적으로 경제적이고 양호한 결과를 산출해낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 하구둑의 수리특성을 분석하기 위하여 미국 기상청의 홍수추적모형인 FLDWAV 모형과 미수로국(WES)의 2차원 유한요소 모형인 RMA-2 모형을 활용하였으며 낙동강유역 주요 수위관측소의 실측자료를 토대로 매개변수 검정을 실시하였다. 분석결과 조위가 고려된 2차원 유속장을 구현하였으며 하구둑 유지 관리 개선에 기여코자 하였다.

영산강수계는 상류에 4개의 농업용 댐이 위치하여 환경대응용수 확보 및 하천유지유량이 절대적으로 부족하고, 갈수기 하천 유량의 약 67 %가 광주 제 1, 2 하수처리장 방류수가 차지하고 있어 하천의 수질과 수생태계를 위협하고 있다. 이에 최근에는 오염된 하천의 건강성을 회복하기 위한 방법으로 수생태계의 정화능력을 활용한 인공습지가 각광받고 있다. 영산강 유역에서도 자연의 정화능력을 활용하여 하천 오염원을 저감시키기 위한 사업의 일환으로 2016년 광주 제 2 하수처리장 방류구에 서창오미공원 습지를 조성하였다. 이 습지는 유입량이 적어 정상적 기능이 어려운 기존 습지를 재조성한 것으로 하수처리장 방류수 약 5만 ㎥/day을 습지로 유입시켜 수질정화용 식재식물을 이용하여 하수처리장 방류수 수질을 개선한 사업이다. 2016~2017년 모니터링 결과, 습지 유입 전·후 BOD는 평균 33.5 %, 최대 73.1 % 저감 되었으며, T-P 또한 평균 59.3 %, 최대 91.6 % 저감 되었다. 그러나 습지는 운영기간 경과 시 퇴적물 축적, 고사체로 인한 T-P 용출 등으로 인하여 처리수의 수질이 더 악화될 우려가 있기 때문에 습지 조성 후 지속적인 유지관리와 모니터링이 필요하다. 그 예로 하수처리장 방류수와 비점오염원 처리를 위해 주암호에 조성된 인공습지의 경우, 2001년 준공 후 지속적인 관리 및 모니터링을 통하여 약 17년이 지난 2018년에도 BOD 49.3 % T-N 65.1 %, T-P 19.2 % 로 저감되어 오염원 및 영양염류 제거에 큰 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 조사에서는 서창오미공원과 주암호 인공습지 운영 결과를 토대로 습지 모니터링의 중요성과 적정 운영 방안을 제시하고자 하며, 영산강 하천의 점·비점오염원 저감을 위한 신규 인공습지 조성 사업에 기초자료로 활용하고자 한다.

The riparian eco-belt is an efficient technique that can reduce non-point pollution sources in the basin and improve ecological connectivity and health. In Korea, a legal system for the construction and management of riparian eco-belts is in operation. However, it is currently excluded that rivers and floodplains in dam reservoir that are advantageous for buffer functions such as control of non-point pollutants and ecological habitats. Accordingly, this study presented and analyzed a plan to select a site for an integrated riparian ecol-belt that comprehensively evaluates the water quality and ecosystem characteristics of each dam floodplain and riparian zone for the Daecheong Dam basin in Geum River watershed. First, the Daecheong Dam basin was divided into 138 sub-basin with GIS, and the riparian zone adjacent to the dam floodplain was analyzed. Sixteen evaluation factors related to the ecosystem and water quality impact that affect the selection of integrated riparian eco-belt were decided, and weights for the importance of each factor were set through AHP analysis. The priority of site suitability was derived by conducting an integrated evaluation by applying weights to sub-basin by floodplains and riparian zone factors. In order to determine whether the sites derived through GIS site analysis are sutiable for actual implementation, five sites were inspected according to three factors: land use, pollution sources, and ecological connectivity. As a result, it was confirmed that all sites were appropriate to apply integrated riparian ecol-belt. It is judged that the riparian eco-belt site analysis technique proposed through this study can be applied as a useful tool when establishing an integrated riparian zone management policy in the future. However, it might be necessary to experiment various evaluation factors and weights for each item according to the characteristics and issues of each dam. Additional research need to be conducted on elaborated conservation and restoration strategies considering the Green-Blue Network aspect, evaluation of ecosystem services, and interconnection between related laws and policy and its improvements.
