Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), two-dimensional atomic layered materials with direct bandgap in the range of 1.1-2.1 eV, have attracted a lot of research interest due to their high response to light and capability to build new types of artificial heterostructures. However, the large-area synthesis of high-quality and uniform TMDC films with vertical-stacked heterostructure still remains challenge. In this study, we have developed a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system for TMDCs and conducted a systematic study on the growth of single-layer TMDCs and their heterostructures. In particular, using a bubbler-type organometallic compound sources, the concentration and flow rate of each source can be precisely controlled to obtain uniformly single-layered MoS2 and WS2 films over the centimeter scale. In addition, the MoS2/WS2 vertical heterostructure was achieved by growing WS2 film directly on the MoS2 film, as confirmed by electron microscopy, UV-visible spectrophotometer, Raman spectroscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy.

Artificial disturbance in mountainous areas increases the sensitivity to erosion by exposure of the subsoil with a low loam ratio to the surface. In this study, rainfall simulations were conducted to evaluate the erodibility of sand and loamy sand in the interrill erosion by the rainfall-induced sheet flow. The mean diameters of sand and loamy sand used in the experiment were 0.936 mm and 0.611 mm, respectively, and the organic matter content was 2.0% and 4.2%, respectively. In the experimental plot, the runoff coefficient of overland flow increased 1.16 times in loamy sand rather than sand. Mean sediment yields of loamy sand and sand by sheet erosion were 3.71kg/m²/hr and 1.13kg/m²/hr respectively. The erodibility, the rate of soil erosion for rainfall erosivity factor, was 3.65 times greater in loamy sand than in sand. As the gradient of the steep slope increased from 24° to 28°, the sediment concentration and the erodibility for two soils increased by about 20%. The erodibility factor K of sandy soils for small plots was overestimated compared to the measured erodibility. This means that RUSLE can overestimate the sediment yields by sheet erosion on sandy soils.

원주시를 비롯한 남한강 지류인 섬강의 중·하류 지역에서의 물 부족 및 수해를 방지를 위하여 남한강 지류인 섬강 유역에 횡성댐이 건설되었다. 그러나 상수원으로 이용되는 타 댐에 비해 횡성댐의 최근 5년간 TOC와 BOD₅의 평균 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 횡성댐 유역의 수질 오염은 원주시와 횡성군의 식수원인 횡성호의 수질에도 악영향을 미치게 되어 이에 대한 개선책이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 횡성댐 유역의 주요 유입하천을 대상으로 오염원 현황을 파악하고 홍수기 유량·수질 모니터링을 통한 오염원 특성 및 기여도를 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 SWAT 모형을 구축한 후 횡성댐 유역 내 주요 우심하천인 구사천과 횡성댐 말단 지역에 대해 적용 가능한 총 5가지의 수질개선 대책 시나리오를 구성하여 유역 모델링을 통한 전체유황, 홍·풍·평수기, 저·갈수기 수질 오염 저감 효과를 분석하였으며, 추가적인 수질개선 대책으로 지역적 특성을 반영하여 오염원별 다양한 관리대책을 제시하였다. 우심하천인 구사천의 경우 마을하수도 설치에 대한 오염부하 저감 효과와 벌목에 대한 오염부하 영향에 대한 시나리오를 모델 내 적용하여 분석하였다. 또한 횡성댐 유역 말단에 대해 비가림시설 및 유출방지턱 설치에 따른 오염부하 저감 효과, 표준시비량 적용 및 농업BMPs(물꼬관리, 완효성비료, 볏짚피복, 초생대)에 따른 오염부하 저감 효과를 분석하였다. 시나리오별 수질개선 효과를 분석한 결과, BOD₅는 최소 0.1 ~ 11.6%의 수질개선 효과가 있었으며, T-N은 0.1 ~ 22.3%, T-P는 0.1 ~ 31.8%, TOC는 0.1 ~ 3.8%의 수질개선 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 각 수질항목별 시나리오를 분석한 결과, 비가림시설 및 유출방지턱과 축산분뇨 위탁처리 시나리오, 경작지 표준 시비량 시비 및 농업 최적관리 적용 시나리오의 오염원 저감 효율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 향후 본 연구에서 제시한 오염저감 시나리오와 수질개선 대책 등을 통해 도출된 결과는 횡성댐 유역의 수질 개선을 위한 대책 수립에 기여할 수 있을 것이라고 판단되나, 횡성호 상류유역의 수질개선만 고려했기 때문에 호소 내 수질관리에 대한 후속 연구가 추가적으로 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

비점오염물질은 강우에 의해 유출되며 계절적, 자연적 편차가 크게 나타나고, 오염원이 광범위하게 산재하고 있어 오염물질의 발생량과 부하량의 관리가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 비점오염원 관리지역은 오염물질이 하천에 미치는 수질 특성을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 수질항목만으로 하천의 수질 특성을 파악하기에는 어려움이 있으며, 수질 특성을 파악하기 위해 다양한 분석방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 비점오염원 관리지역 중 골지천 유역의 수질 특성을 파악하기 위해 통계분석 기법을 활용하여 수질항목간의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 2017년부터 2019년까지 골지천 유역 내 5개 지점에 대하여 비강우시 23회, 강우시 지점별 173회~196회의 모니터링 결과를 이용하였으며, EC, 탁도, BOD₅, SS, T-N, T-P, TOC의 수질항목을 이용하여 Pearson 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. 상관관계 분석 결과 비강우시 분석 결과 EC는 -0.06~-0.32, T-N은 0.19~0.37로 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, EC와 T-N을 제외한 탁도와 BOD₅, SS, T-P, TOC의 경우 서로 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 탁도와 SS, T-P, T-P와 TOC는 0.9 이상의 높은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 강우시 분석 결과 EC는 비강우시와 유사하게 -0.07~-0.24로 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, TOC를 제외한 탁도, BOD₅, SS, T-N, T-P의 경우 서로 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. TOC의 경우 BOD₅, SS와 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 반면 탁도, T-N, T-P와는 0.45, 0.44, 0.57로 다른 항목에 비해 다소 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 비강우시 T-N은 기저 유출에 의한 영향으로 높은 농도를 나타내 다른 항목에 비해 상관성이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 강우시에는 비점오염물질의 유입으로 인하여 모든 항목에서 비슷한 상관성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 탁도와 SS, T-P의 상관성이 비강우시 0.93, 강우시 0.78로 상당히 높은 것으로 나타나, 탁도를 측정하여 SS와 T-P로 환산하여 측정하는 방법에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 연구 유역의 지형적 특성이 배제되었기 때문에 추후에 이를 반영한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate the early life history of Squalidus gracilis majimae by observing the development of the eggs and morphology of juvenile fish. Squalidus gracilis majimae used in this study were captured in 2021 June from a tributary flowing into Wicheon, located in Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. For artificial insemination, ovaprim was injected at 0.5 mL/kg. Egg development occurred 12 h after injection. The size of mature eggs of S. gracilis majimae was 0.80~0.85 mm (0.83±0.01 mm, n=30). Incubation time at 22±1℃ ranged from 62.5 to 69 h. The length of larvae immediately after hatching was 2.39~2.53 mm (2.44±0.04 mm, n=30). On the 18th day after hatching, the larvae had a total length of 8.51~9.84 mm (8.95±0.42 mm, n=30), and the tip of the spine was completely curved. On the 22nd day after hatching, the juvenile fish had a total length of 12.6~13.6 mm (13.0±0.36 mm, n=30), with dorsal fins at iii7 and anal fins at i7. Egg size and hatched larvae size were similar for S. gracilis majimae and S. multimaculatus, and cupulae showed a singularity as it disappeared last among related species.

To propose the improvement and management plans to strengthen the pollutant removal efficiency of dam reservoir's constructed wetlands(CWs), the operation status and configuration of CWs (including water depth, operational flow, water flow distribution, residence time, and pollutant removal efficiency, aspect ratio, open water/vegetation ratio etc.) were analyzed in 10 major wetlands constructed in dam reservoirs. The pollutant concentrations in the inflows of the studied CWs were lower than those of American and European constructed wetlands. Especially, organic matter concentrations in all of inflows were below 3 mg/L(as BOD) due to advanced treatment of sewage disposal plant and an intake of low concentration water during dry and normal seasons. The average removal efficiency of total nitrogen(TN) and total phosphorus(TP) for 10 CWs ranged from 7.6~67.6%(mean 24.9%) and -4.9~74.5%(mean 23.7%), respectively, showing high in wetlands treating municipal wastewater. On the other hand, the removal efficiency of BOD was generally low or negative with ranging from -133.3 to 41.7%. From the analysis of the operation status and configuration of CWs, it is suggested that the low removal efficiency of dam reservoir's CWs were caused by both structural (inappropriate aspect ratio, excessive open water area) and operational (neglecting water-level management, lack of facilities and operation for first flush treatment, lake of monitoring during rainy events) problems. Therefore, to enable to play a role as a reduction facility of non-point source(NPS) pollutants, an appropriate design and operation manuals for dam reservoir's CW is urgently needed. In addition, the monitoring during rainy events, when NPS runoff occur, must be included in operation manual of CW, and then the data obtained from the monitoring is considered in estimation of the pollutant removal efficiency by dam reservoir's CW.

This experiment was performed to evaluate the characteristics of BNR system performance, behavior of pollutants as organic and nitrogen at each basin and the effects of C/N ratio on biological nitrogen removal with methanol as an external carbon source for a low C/N ratio municipal wastewater. A lab-scale $A_2O$ system by employing the aerobic basin with the fluidized polyurethane media, which was $10{\sim}20$ mm rube type like a sponge, was used. The aerobic basin was hybrid type to be suspended and fixed biomass. The obtained results from this study were as follows; When no methanol was added, suspended biomass was 3 times more than that of the fluidized media in this system(total biomass 80 g). Biomass growed by an external carbon was firstly attached on media, and then suspended. $COD_{Cr}$ concentration for the effluent was a range of 13 to 29 mg/L regardless of pouring an external carbon. For nitrogen, the effluent concentration was $20.0{\sim}35.9mg/L$(removal efficiency; 18%) in case of no addition of an external carbon, but was $2.5{\sim}9.0mg/L$(removal efficiency ; $71{\sim}83%$) with addition of methanol. For the characteristics of pollutants removal, most of $COD_{Cr}$ were removed at the anaerobic basin when no external organic carbon was added, and were removed at the anoxic basin in case of adding external organic carbon but at the aerobic basin in case of adding excess external organic carbon. On the other hand, most TIN(total inorganic nitrogen) were removed at the anaerobic basin when no external organic carbon was added, but when an external organic carbon was added, they were removed at the anaerobic basin under unstable condition and at the anoxic basin under stable condition.

The section from water source to 2.6km upper stream of Hantan River is protected as the drinking water quality protection area according to guidelines of Ministry of Environment, because water source of the Gwanin water intake plant has been known the river. However, opinions were consistently brought up that the standard of water source protection zone must be changed with using underground water as water source because of contribution possibility of underground water as the water source of Gwanin water intake facility. In this regard, hydrogeologic investigation including resistivity survey and hydrogeochemical investigation were carried out to assess water source and infiltration of contaminant for the plant. Quaternary basaltic rocks (50m thick with four layers) covered most of the study area on the granite basement. As the result of the resistivity survey, it is revealed that permeable aquifer is distributed in the boundary of two layers: the basaltic layer with low resistivity; and the granite with high resistivity. Considering of outflow from Gwanin water intake facility, the area possessing underground water was estimated at least $5.7km^2$. The underground water recharged from Cheorwon plain was presumed to outflow along the surface of unconformity plane of basalt and granite. Based on field parameters and major dissolved constituents, groundwater and river water clearly distinguished and the spring water was similar to groundwater from the basaltic aquifer. Temporal variation of $SiO_2$, Mg, $NO_3$, and $SO_4$ concentrations indicated that spring water and nearby groundwater were originated from the basaltic aquifer and other groundwater from granitic aquifer. In conclusion, the spring of the Gwanin water intake plant was distinguished from river water in terms of hydrogeochemical characteristics and mainly contributed from the basaltic aquifer.

For two agricultural reservoirs that are rented for fishing spots, benthic nutrient fluxes experiment were performed two times with two sediments from fishing-effective zone and one sediment from fishing-ineffective zone using laboratory core incubation in oxic and anoxic conditions. During benthic nutrient fluxes experiment, the changes in DO, EC, pH, and ORP in the supernatant were not significantly different between fishing-effective zone and fishing-ineffective zone, and were similar to the sediment-hypolimnetic diffused boundary layer in agricultural reservoir. Except for $NO_3{^-}-N$, more benthic nutrient fluxes of $NH_4{^+}-N$, T-P, and $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ from sediment to hypolimnetic was measured in anoxic than in oxic conditions (p<0.05). As the DO concentration in hypolimnetic decreases, the microorganism-mediated ammonification is promoted, the nitrification is suppressed, and finally the $NH_4{^+}-N$ diffuses out from sediment to hypolimnetic. Also, the diffusion of T-P and $PO{_4}^{3-}-P$ from sediments to hypolimnetic is accelerated through the dissociation of the phosphorus bound to both organic matters and metal hydroxides. The difference in the benthic nutrient diffusive fluxes between fishing-effective zone and fishing-ineffective zone was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Therefore, it was found that fishing activities did not increase the benthic nutrient diffusive fluxes to a statistically significant level. Due to the short fishing activities of 10 years and the rate-limited diffusion of the laboratory core incubation, the contribution of fishing activities on sediment pollution is estimated to be low. No significant correlation was found between the total amount of nutrients in sediment and the benthic nutrient diffusive fluxes in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Therefore, nutrients input from various nonpoint sources of watersheds are considered to be a more dominant factor rather than fishing activities in water quality deterioration, and both aeration and water circulation in hypolimnetic were required to suppress the anoxic environment in agricultural reservoirs.
