An intensive watershed survey including water quality measurement of 6 times was carried out in order to find out the relationship between pollutant load and water quality in a small stream watershed where livestock wastewater is the main source of water pollution. The findings from the survey are as follows. 1) The number of livestock showed large disagreement among county office, myon, and insite survey. It is vital to check the data at the beginning of watershed survey. 2) The fluctuation of streamflow and water quality was so large depending on the day of measurement that it is essential to set up continuous telemetering system to get reliable data about delivery ratio of pollutants. 3) It was helpful for setting the priority of investigation to check water quality and quantity at several points along the stream after dividing the watershed into 5 drainage areas. 4) To control the livestock wastewater, especially in case of cows, it is necessary to have roof system and prevent overland flow from the ground. In case of pig farms, it is recommended to have public treatment system instead of private treatment system. The exact emission load of livestock wastewater was difficult to estimate, and requires more study.

Monthly observation of phytoplankton were made from September, 1974 to June 1975 at three stations in the Masan Bay. Sixty three species of phytoplankton (diatoms), representing 25 genera were taken in this study. Of these Skeletonema costatum, Eucampis zoodiacus, Ditylum brightwellii, Chaetoceros debilis, Coscinosira polychorda, and Leptocylindrus danicus were the dominant species in this area. By the ecological division the neritic species occupied 85.71% of total diatom diversity and it showed the characteristics of emayment. Diversity index(H) were the lowest in January and May in surface, while the highest in October. Phytoplankton standing crop varied extensively by months; ranging from 3,780 to 7,642,798 cells/l. total phytoplankton standing crop showed three major peaks in September, December and May. After bloom diatom standing crop were decreased gradually and showed minimum in November and February.

For effective watershed management, it is very important to select the tributaries through selection and concentration of targeted tributary catchments for improving water quality within the limited financial conditions. This study introduced the selection and diagnosis procedure of tributary catchments for improving water quality at Chungcheongnam-do based on water quality and flowrate monitoring, stream grouping method. The tributaries with high value of water quality and flowrate were selected for improving water quality according to stream grouping method. The diagnosis of selected tributaries for improving water quality was performed with analysis of the pollution load (generated, discharged, delivered) and point source discharged pollution load density. The plans for improving water quality of tributaries were suggested thorough various diagnosis of tributary catchments. For improving water quality of tributaries in Chungcheongnam-do, the tributary catchments in the Dangjin, Asan, Yesan, Cheonan, Hongseong area should be preferentially considered. The water quality improving plans for those tributary catchments, in accordance with the reduction of sources of pollution by population and livestock, should be established.

Along the 4 major rivers in korea, there are automatic water quality monitoring (AWQM) stations to immediately respond to any pollution incident. Real-time data (temperature, DO, pH, EC and TOC) collected at each station were statistically treated to exclude outliers and keep valid data using Dixon's test and Discordance test. These applied methods were compared in terms of the number of the outliers sorted out. There was no significant difference between these methods. On the other hand, more outliers were sorted out from EC and TOC data, comparing with other water quality items. EC data did not show partly any variation for a long time at H station. If measured signal does not exceed ${\pm}0.001mS/cm$ from the sectional mean, the signal should be treated as normal data. Therefore, another routine was added to the data screening system, some data which were removed as outlier were restored.

하천 수위 유지나 용수 취수 목적으로 사용되는 보는 현재 국내에 약 18,000여개 정도가 설치되어 있으며, 대부분 용수 공급 시설로 이용되고 있다. 하천에 보가 축조되면 하천생태통로의 차단, 보 상류부 수질 악화, 수변 생물서식처의 변화, 경관 훼손 등의 문제가 발생하게 되지만, 이를 해결하기 위한 방법은 극히 일부 보에 생태 통로로서 설치되는 어도 외에는 거의 혀는 실정이다. 최근 농경지 도시화, 경작 방식의 변화, 취수시설물 통폐합, 시설 노후화 등으로 매년 수십 개 이상의 보가 폐기되고 있으나, 폐기된 보는 천거되지 않고 하천에 존치되어 여전히 문제를 발생시키고 있다. 외국의 경우에도 기능을 상실한 보/소형 댐을 보 철거 의사 결정 과정을 통해서 철거를 결정한 후 철거를 시행하고 있으며, 기 철거 사례를 분석한 결과를 바탕으로 과학적이고 공학적인 보 철거 우선 순위 결정 방법을 제시하기 위해서 노력하고 있다. 국내의 경우 아직 보 철거를 통한 환경 복원이 일반화 되어 있지는 않지만, 그 필요성이 점차 증가하고 있으며, 이를 위해 국내 환경에 적합한 보 철거 의사 결정 과정 마련을 위한 연구 필요성이 같이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 보 철거를 통한 하천생태통로 복원 기술 개발을 위한 기초 연구의 일환으로 보 기능 저하 요인 파악을 위해 각 주요 수계에 설치된 보를 현장 조사하였다. 조사 결과 기능이 저하 중인 보로 판단되는 보는 분석하여 유형화하고, 요인별로 대표적인 예를 제시하여 이후 판단 자료로 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

현재 한국수자원공사에서는 시화호로 유입되는 유량을 저류하여 습지내 안정적인 유량을 공급함은 물론, 정화된 하천수를 방류하여 호소내 수질을 개선하고자 동화천 하류 약 840m 지점에 제수문을 설치하여 운영중에 있다. 그러나, 폭우시 상류농경지 침수우려에 따른 제수문 개방후 폐쇄시 제수문 담수어종이 상류로 올라가는 길이 차단되어 제수문 유출부에 어류가 폐사되는 현상이 반복되어 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 한국수자원공사에서는 동화천 제수문 하류부(약 36m)에 어도를 갖춘 수중보시설을 설치함으로써 제수문과 수중보사이에 Pond를 형성하여 어류의 자연사를 방지하고자 하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유량규모 및 수문개방 조건에 따른 보 설치 전 후 상황에 대한 1차원 수리특성분석을 실시함으로써, 보 설치로 인해 제수문 상류지역에 배수불량 상황 발생여부를 검토하고, 이를 배제하기 위한 제수문 개방조작 변경안을 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제수문 하류단의 설치예정인 수중보가 제수문 상류지역의 배수상황에 미치는 영향은 제수문 상류 유입량이 저유량 구간인 $3.92cms{\sim}8.88cms$에서 발생하였으며, 이는 본 연구에서 제시한 개방수문 조작 변경안과 같이 간단한 수문조작을 통해 상류 수위를 저감시킬 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다.

호소내의 흐름은 중력의 영향을 받는 하천의 흐름과는 달리 열수지에 의한 밀도류 및 바람 등에 영향을 크게 받아 특유의 유동특성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 EFDC(Environmental fluid Dynamics Code, 미국 버지니아 해양연구소 개발) 모델을 이용하여 호소 내 수치모의를 실시하였다. 복잡한 지형을 형성하고 있는 호수 내의 유동특성의 정밀도를 향상시키기 위해서는, 흐름특성을 고려한 grid작성이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 1:3000, 1:5000 축척의 수치지도를 이용하여 장흥호의 하상단면 값을 추정하였으며, GIS를 이용하여 (${\Delta}x$, ${\Delta}y$)=100m로 DEM을 생성하였다. 그리고 구성된 DEM값을 이용하여 정밀도가 높은 최종 Cartesian grid(active cell=706)를 구축하였다. EFDC를 이용한 장흥호의 수치모의 결과 호수내의 흐름은 수면을 통한 열 교환에 의한 수온 밀도류를 형성하고 있으며, 수온성층의 형성과 파괴가 호수 흐름을 형성하는 큰 인자로 작용한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고, 호에 유입되는 하천부분에서는 유입되는 수온에 따라 흐름특성이 변하며, 유입수온에 따라 호수 내 관입위치가 변하여 표면흐름, 내부흐름, 저부흐름 등의 흐름특성을 보인다 이상과 같이, 호수내의 흐름특성을 열수지, 외력에 의해서 크게 변동하며 해석대상역의 지역특성을 반영한 수리현상의 정확한 재현 없이는, 이 유동해석결과를 입력치로 하는 수질모델링 결과는 신뢰도에 심각한 문제를 발생시킨다고 할 수 있다.

Transported deposit was accumulated in a grit chamber built at the mouth of Yeocheoncheon in 1987 with the intention of blocking the influx of sediment into the Ulsan-harbor. This study attempted to analyze the effects of the transported deposit on the water quality at Yeocheoncheon. Only one episode of dredging has been performed in the approximately 25 years since the grit chamber were built, leading to the formation of stagnant water in the grit chamber due to a large amount of transported deposit. The deposit has a relatively high organic content, in the range of 11.7-25.9% (mean 18.3%). It appears that the main reason for the upstream transport of water pollution from the mouth of the Yeocheoncheon is the tides. The effects of organic content and stagnant water on water quality were analyzed using WASP. Moreover, the changes in water quality arising due to the removal of the grit chamber were analyzed. Results indicated that BOD improved by 18.8-100%, while T-P improved by 90.0-617.4%, between the grit chamber and Hanbi-Gyo, which is located 1.3 km away from the grit chamber.

The discharge characteristics of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from seven wastewater treatment plants and two industry drains at Nakdong River basin were investigated. Four Sampling campaigns were conducted between May 2008 and November 2008, and tested for 17 VOCs. As results, eight VOCs were detected at some sampling sites, but their concentration levels were low; 0.19~3.41 ${\mu}g/L$, dependent on each sampling location and substance. However, proper management plans such as supervising and monitoring systems for VOCs are needed to control those pollutants since VOCs might affect human health as well as aquatic ecosystems with extremely low concentration levels.
