This study examines the washing effect of precipitation on particulate matter (PM) and the rainwater quality (pH, electrical conductivity (EC), water-soluble ions concentration). Of six rain events in total, rainwater samples were continuously collected every 50 mL from the beginning of the precipitation using rainwater collecting devices at Pukyong National University, Busan, South Korea, from March 2020 to July 2020. The collected rainwater samples were analyzed for pH, EC, and water-soluble ions (cations: Na+, Mg2+, K+, Ca2+, NH4+, and anions: Cl-, NO3-, SO42-). The concentrations of particulate matter were continuously measured during precipitation events with a custom-built PM sensor node. For initial rainwater samples, the average pH and EC were approximately 4.3 and 81.9 μS/cm, and the major ionic components consisted of NO3- (5.4 mg/L), Ca2+ (4.2 mg/L), Cl- (4.1 mg/L). In all rainfall events, rainwater pH gradually increased with rainfall duration, whereas EC gradually decreased due to the washing effect. When the rainfall intensities were relatively weak (<5 mm/h), PM10 reduction efficiencies were less than 40%. When the rainfall intensities were enhanced to more than 7.5 mm/h, the reduction efficiencies reached more than 60%. For heavy rainfall events, the acidity and EC, as well as ions concentrations of initial rainwater samples, were higher than those in later samples. This appears to be related to the washing effect of precipitation on PM10 in the atmosphere.

Aluminum coagulant was applied to two eutrophic lakes (Lake Sukchon, in Seoul, and a pond on the campus of Kangwon National University), to precipitate suspended particles and phosphate from the water column. Aluminum sulfate (alum) was used for seven treatments and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was used for one treatment. The effect of treatment varied depending on the dose of alumium coagulant. Particles and phosphate were completely precipitated from the water column with a dose of 10.0 mgAl/l. Partial removal was observed at doses of 3.3 and 1.8 mgAl/l, but not at 0.45 mgAl/l. Therefore, coagulant should be applied at a dose over the threshold in order to remove particles effectively, which seems to be between 1.8 and 10.0 mgAl/l. The length of treatment effect was determined by new inputs of nutrients and particles from external sources. Renewal of pond water by stream water caused recovery of algal growth in Lake Sukchon, and rainfall runoff and ground water pumping caused a return of turbid water in the campus pond. During treatment there was no sign of decreasing pH, or harmful effects on fish or mussels. Aluminum coagulant may be an economically feasible alternative for water quality improvement when the external control of pollutant sources is difficult. However, repeated application is required when there is a renewal of lake water or new input of nutrients.

In order to study the long-term change of water quality, water analysis for 9 items was conducted at 13 sites surrounding the Kumho river system for 18 times from September 1993 to August 1999. Analytical items for the study of water quality are as follows; water temperature, pH, BOD, COD, DO, SS, electrical conductivity, oil and grease, ABS and phenol. The six year term was divided into Part I(second study) and Part Ⅱ(third study), which covers the term from September 1993 to August 1996 and the term from September 1996 to August 1999, respectively. The mean values obtained for three years for water temperature, pH, BOD, COD, DO, SS, electrical conductivity, oil and grease, ABS and phenol for the Part I period showed 18.4$^{\circ}C$, 7.9, 4.88 ppm, 9.66 ppm, 9.0 ppm, 618.0 umho/cm, 6.9 ppm, 2.63 ppm, 3.57 ppm and 0.98 ppm, respectively. The mean values obtained for water temperature, pH, BOD, COD, DO, SS, electrical conductivity, oil and grease, ABS and phenol for the Part Ⅱ period showed 18.0$^{\circ}C$, 8.0, 2.86 ppm, 7.40 ppm, 8.94 ppm, 541.0 umho/cm, 6.0 ppm, 5.43 ppm, 0.94 ppm and 0.01 ppm respectively. The values of BOD, COD, SS, electrical conductivity, ABS and phenol in the second period were found to be decreased by 1/1.71, 1/1.31, 1/4.15, 1/3.80 and 1/98, respectively. The values of water temperature, pH and DO were nearly constant. However, the concentrations of oil and grease were found to be increased about 2.06 times in the second period.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of hot spring water against the survival of food-borne and pathogenic microorganisms. Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Escherichia coli, which are food-borne microorganisms, Candida albicans and Trichophyton mentagrophytes, which are skin disease pathogens, and Helicobacter pylori, gastritis inducing microorganism, were tested. The content of fluoride in tested hot spring water is 14.1 mg/L, which is higher than the standard of safe for drinking water 1.5 mg/L, but the results on 48 other items were up to the standard. Hot spring water didn't show the bactericidal effects against food-borne microorganisms, C. albicans, and H. pylori tested. However, the viable cell populations of B. cereus and T. mentagrophytes were decreased, which were depends on the temperature of hot spring water. From these results, we confirmed that hot spring water didn't show the bactericidal effects against food-borne microorganisms, skin disease pathogens, and gastritis inducing microorganism, but the growth of some microorganisms were inhibited by high temperature ($41^{\circ}C$).

해수소통을 전제한 경우 새만금호 내측의 염분변화가 만경강의 평수량 및 홍수량 유입에 따라 혼합확산되는 것을 평가하고 배수갑문 방류시 담수가 외해에 미치는 영향범위를 평가하기 위한 수치모형실험이 실시되었다. 이때 새만금호 내부의 관리수위는 DL=-1.5m, DL=-0.5m, DL=-0.0m, DL=+0.5m가 고려되었다. 외해역의 평가는 새만금을 포함한 전체해역에 대해 외해경계에서 4개의 주요분조($M_2,S_2,K_1,O_1$)의 진폭과 위상각을 대입하고 2차원 ADCIRC 및 3차원 TIDE3D 모형을 적용하였다. 내부는 여기에 3개 연직층을 고려한 3차원 ICM 모델이 추가 적용되었다. 내부의 혼합확산 평가 결과는 시간이 지남에 따라 외해에서 유입되는 염수가 상대적으로 저염인 담수호 내부로 유입 확산되는 것이 평면적으로나 연직방향으로 변화되는 것을 매우 뚜렷하게 나타남을 알 수 있고, 최소 1개월 이상 경과되어야 만경호측에 외해수가 혼합되는 것으로 분석된다. 수문을 개방하지 않은 상태에서 새만금 방조제 외해의 최강창낙조시 조류속도는 0.5-0.6m/s 정도에 해당되는 것으로 분석되었다. 신시갑문을 개방하는 경우 관리수위가 DL=-1.5m와 DL=+0.5m로 변함에 따라 갑문 전면 10Km-l3Km에 이르는 해역까지 수문개방에 따라 0.5m/s의 유속이 형성된다. 가력갑문을 개방하는 경우는 신시갑문의 개방에 따른 영향보다는 작지만 갑문 전면 14Km까지 0.5m/s의 강한 유동이 관리수위별로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 결과는 담수 방류로 인한 영향이 주기적으로 낙조시에 발생되어 새만금 방조제 전면의 해수순환과 유동에 적지 않은 영향을 미칠 개연성을 제시하는 것으로 해석된다.$\cdot$유출에 의한 수질변화양상을 단계적으로 구분하여 수질변화에 중요한 영향을 미치는 인자에 대한 이론적인 분석을 수행하고, 배수갑문 개방에 의한 수질개선효과를 최대화하기 위한 환경관리 방안 제시에 중점을 두어 수행하였다.ncy), 환경성(environmental feasibility) 등을 정성적으로(qualitatively) 파악하여 실현가능한 대안을 선정하였다. 이렇게 선정된 대안들은 중유역별로 검토하여 효과가 있을 것으로 판단되는 대안들을 제시하는 예비타당성(Prefeasibility) 계획을 수립하였다. 이렇게 제시된 계획은 향후 과학적인 분석(세부평가방법)을 통해 대안을 평가하고 구체적인 타당성(feasibility) 계획을 수립하는데 토대가 될 것이다.{0.11R(mm)}(r^2=0.69)$로 나타났다. 이는 토양의 투수특성에 따라 강우량 증가에 비례하여 점증하는 침투수와 구분되는 현상이었다. 경사와 토양이 같은 조건에서 나지의 경우 역시 $Ro_{B10}(mm)=20.3e^{0.08R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $10\% 경사일 때를 기준으로 $Ro(mm)=Ro_{10}{\times}0.797{\times}e^{-0.021s(\%)}$로 나타났다.천성 승모판 폐쇄 부전등을 초래하는 심

여름철 강우시 저수지로 유입하는 고탁도의 하천수는 저수지 주변 수체에 비해 낮은 수온과 높은 부유물질 농도(SS)로 인해 상대적으로 높은 밀도를 가지며, 저수지 내에서 동일 밀도층을 따라 분포하며 밀도류를 형성하게 된다. 탁수는 대부분 장기간 저수지에 체류하며 수질과 수생태계에 큰 영향을 주게 된다. 따라서 저수지로 유입한 탁수의 밀도류 거동특성을 파악하는 것은 저수지 운영, 수질관리 및 수생태계 보호를 위한 관리대책 수립에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구의 목적은 횡방향 평균 2차원 수치모델을 이용하여 초기수위별 다양한 유량규모에서 소양호로 유입하는 밀도류의 거동특성(유입경계지점 수심($h_0$), 침강점 수심($d_p$)과 거리($X_p$), 분리점 수심($d_s$), 중층류 관입두께($h_i$), 댐 축 도달시간($t_a$), 희석율(${\beta}$))을 분석하여 저수지 수질관리를 위한 의사결정지원 기초정보를 제공하는데 있다. 밀도류의 거동분석을 위해 사용된 유량조건은 그동안 소양호에서 발생한 홍수크기를 바탕으로 7개의 등급으로 나누었으며, 각각의 유량조건별 수문곡선은 2007년 수문사상 중 7월 30일부터 8월 30일까지의 수문사상을 바탕으로 수정가우시안 공식을 사용하여 산정하였다. 탁수 거동 특성의 모의는 서로 다른 초기 수위 및 유량조건하에서의 탁수거동을 나타냈고, SS농도 25 mg/L 이상을 기준으로 하여 탁수층의 $d_p$, $X_p$, $d_s$, $h_i$, $t_a$, ${\beta}$를 산정하였다. 일반적으로 유량규모가 커질수록 $d_p$와 $d_s$는 증가하였고, $X_p$는 댐 축으로부터 가까워짐이 확인되었으나, 동일 유량규모에 대해 초기 수위가 증가함에 따라 $X_p$는 대체로 댐으로부터 멀어졌다. $h_i$는 유량규모가 증가함에 따라 완만하게 증가하는 경향을 보였고, $t_a$는 초기수위가 EL. 165 m일 때 유량이 2,000 CMS 미만인 경우 댐 앞까지 도달하지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며, 나머지 수위조건에서는 유량이 3,000 CMS 미만인 경우 댐 앞까지 도달하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 유량 규모에 따라 $X_p$가 0 km인 지점과 19 km인 지점에서의 ${\beta}$ 값을 산정한 결과 일반적으로 유량규모가 커질수록 유입수의 희석효과는 작아지며 초기수위가 커질수록 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 연구 결과는 탁수 발생 초기 저수지 운영 실무자들이 유량규모 및 초기 수위조건에 따른 밀도류의 거동특성을 신속히 예측하는 목적으로 사용될 수 있다.

This experiment was carried out to evaluate the sanitary quality of ground water in Pusan area(see Fig. 1). One hundred and thirty two water samples were collected from the 11 stations from October 1981 to Sept ember 1982. To evaluate the sanitary quality, coliform group, fecal coliform, viable cell count and composition of coliform group by IMViC reaction were observed. The median value of coliform group MPN of the samples were 59/100 ml in Udong and Daesindong, 68/100 ml in Suyeong, Yeonsandong and Sungjigog, 43/100 ml in Jenpodong and Mangmidong, 33/100 ml in Yeongdo and Dongrae, and 13.3/100 ml in Gammandong. Geometric mean of fecal coliform MPM was 4.1/100ml in Udong, 8.6/100 ml in Suyeong, 8.1/100 ml in Jenpodong, 6.1/100 ml in Daesindong and Dongrae, 8.7/100 ml in Yeongdo, 7.1/100 ml in Mangmidong, 6.5/100 ml in Yeonsandong, 9.1/100 ml in Sungjigog, 3.0/100 ml in Gammandong and 7.6/100 ml in Gupo. The seasonal difference of total coliform showed much more contamination in June or July when there were more climers than in December though it was caused by the rise of loafer temperature. With 50 percentile of total coliform MPN July was about 30 times higher than December for July was 163.5/100 ml and December 5.3/100 ml, Particularly, June was about 1.3 times higher than July in contamination because of a sudden increase of people using it. Composition of coliform was $7.64\%$ Escherichia coli, group, $42.86\%$ Citrobacter freundii group, $16.78\%$ Klebsiella aerogenes group and $32.72\%$ others. Plate count of samples was varied from 48 to $4.4{\times10}^2/ml$ during the study period.

This study was surveyed that water physiochemical characteristics and phytoplankton incidence of main stream and Lake Doam near to Daegwallyeong agricultural area. Based on above results, it was conducted to get information overall water characteristics in south Han upstream river. COD value of Lake Doam was $6.1mg\;L^{-1}$ and T-P (Total phosphorous) from there was $0.26mg\;L^{-1}$ which was higher than the value of grade VI based on lake water living environment standard. Suspended solid was an average of 9.77 NTU which was higher than value of lake living standard. Concentration of phytoplankton was over $2.0{\times}10^3Cell\;mL^{-1}$ from July to September. It was considered that cyanobacteria were occurred due to massive influx of nutrient material by high temperature and rainfall during this season. Compare to Ontario's sediment quality guidelines, T-N and T-P was middle value between LEL and SEL in Lake Doam. This value means that contamination in water is serious. Therefore, it is considered that systematic management was needed to reduce and block contamination source.

The reservoir shores seem to be vulnerable to biological invasion. The purpose of this research was to find out the floristic composition of alien plants and their relationship between environmental factors on reservoir shorelines in Korea. We investigated flora of alien plants and environmental factors of geomorphology, hydrology, water quality and soil on the shoreline of a total of 35 reservoirs with different water level managements. There were 56 species of alien plants, which was 15% of the total plant species identified in the study of reservoirs. A total of 57% of these alien species were the species which were introduced shortly after opening the port from 1876 to 1921 in Korea. More than 80% of the alien plants on the reservoir shores originated from America and Europe. The current distribution of Ambrosia trifida and Paspalum distichum were restricted in the central part and the southern region of the Korean Peninsula, respectively. The water level fluctuation, flood frequency at the median water level, water pollution index, coverage of rock exposure and mean degree of shoreline slope were determined as important environmental factors that have an effect on the characteristics of shoreline alien flora. Our results suggest that the reservoir shore was in danger of being invaded by alien plants due to the water level management and other human disturbances. For effective conservation of the reservoir ecosystem, periodic monitoring systems are required for the early detection of alien species on the reservoir shore.
