Prevalent construction of impermeable pavements in urban areas causes diverse water-related environmental issues, such as lowering ground water levels and shortage of water supply for the living. In order to resolve such problems, a rainwater reservoir can be an effective and useful solution. The rainwater reservoir facilitates the hydrologic cycle in urban areas by temporarily retaining precipitation-runoff within a shallow subsurface layer for later use in a dry season. However, in order to use the stored water of precipitation-runoff, non-point source pollutants mostly retained in initial rainfall should be removed before being stored in the reservoir. Therefore, the purification system to filter out the non-point source pollutants is essential for the rainwater reservoir. The conventional soil filtration technology is well known to be able to capture non-point source pollutants in a economical and efficient way. This study adopted a sand filter layer (SFL) as a non-point source pollutant removal system in the rainwater reservoir, and conducted a series of lab-scale chamber tests and field tests to evaluate the pollutant removal efficiency and applicability of SFL. During the laboratory chamber experiments, three types of SFL with the different grain size characteristics were compared in the chamber with a dimension of $20cm{\times}30cm{\times}60cm$. To evaluate performance of the reservoir systems, the concentration of the polluted water in terms of TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) were measured and compared. In addition, a reduction in hydraulic conductivity of SFL due to pollutant clogging was indirectly estimated. The optimum SFL selected through the laboratory chamber experiments was verified on the in-situ rainwater reservoir for field applicability.

An artificial rainwater reservoir installed in urban areas for recycling rainwater is an eco-friendly facility for reducing storm water effluence. However, in order to recycle the rainwater directly, the artificial rainwater reservoir requires an auxiliary system that can remove non-point source pollutants included in the initial rainfall of urban area. Therefore, the conventional soil filtration technology is adopted to capture non-point source pollutants in an economical and efficient way in the purification system of artificial rainwater reservoirs. In order to satisfy such a demand, clogging characteristics of the sand filter layers with different grain-size distributions were studied with real non-point source pollutants. For this, a series of lab-scale chamber tests were conducted to make a prediction model for removal of non-point source pollutants, based on the clogging theory. The laboratory chamber experiments were carried out by permeating two types of artificially contaminated water through five different types of sand filter layers with different grain-size distributions. The two artificial contaminated waters were made by fine marine-clay particles and real non-point source pollutants collected from motorcar roads of Seoul, Korea. In the laboratory chamber experiments, the concentrations of the artificial contaminated water were measured in terms of TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) and compared with each other to evaluate the performance of sand filter layers. In addition, the accumulated weight of pollutant particles clogged in the sand filter layers was estimated. This paper suggests a prediction model for removal of non-point source pollutants with theoretical consideration of the physical characteristics such as the grain-size distribution and composition, and change in the hydraulic conductivity and porosity of sand filter layers. The lumped parameter ${\theta}$ related with the clogging property was estimated by comparing the accumulated weight of pollutant particles obtained from the laboratory chamber experiments and calculated from the prediction model based on the clogging theory. It is found that the lumped parameter ${\theta}$ has a significant influence on the amount of the pollutant particles clogged in the pores of sand filter layers. In conclusion, according to the clogging prediction model, a double-sand-filter layer consisting of two separate layers: the upper sand-filter layer with the effective particle size of 1.49 mm and the lower sand-filter layer with the effective particle size of 0.93 mm, is proposed as the optimum system for removing non-point source pollutants in the field-sized artificial rainwater reservoir.

대수층 저장 및 회수(Aquifer Storage and Recovery, 이하 ASR) 기법은 지표수가 여유가 있는 기간동안 지하 대수층에 정수된 물을 주입하여 두었다가, 첨두 수요(peak demand)가 필요한 한시적인 기간동안 대수층 내에 저장되어 있던 물을 양수하여 공급하는 새로운 개념의 수자원 공급 체계의 일환이다. 본 발표에서는 미국 Oregon 주의 대표적인 3개 도시에서 수행된 수자원 공급 사업과 이 수자원 공급사업에서 ASR 기법이 어떻게 적용되었는지를 살펴보았다. 이들 도시에서 수행된 ASR 기법을 활용한 수자원 공급은, 기존 지표 저류조 저장 방식에 비해 월등히 경제적이며, 다양한 이점을 가지고 있는 것으로 드러났다. 또한 이들 도시에서의 ASR 기법 적용에 따른 효율성이 2001년도 및 2002년도에 분명하게 나타나 현재 이들 도시는 ASR 시설에 대한 확충 계획을 수립, 진행하고 있다. 한편, 이들 지역의 ASR 기법 활용 용수 공급 사례는, 국내의 경우에도 투수성이 우수한 화산암 지역, 제3기 지층 및 석회암 지역 등에서 활용될 경우, 충분한 효과를 발휘 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

It analyzed the efficiency of the runoff reduction of artificial reservoir by analyzing the influent and effluent of reservoir located downstream of the livestock area. Production of non point pollutants in livestock feeding areas, which is located at steep slope land, was mainly due to first flushes. Suspended Solid concentration of influent increased due to amount of rainfall, and T-P also increased over four times and 30 % of total nitrogen increased on average compared to those of dry season. While the concentration of nitrate nitrogen showed little variation, ammonia nitrogen increased over two times. The storage style nonpoint reduction facility showed the highest removal efficiency of 53 % for total phosphorus in dry weather, when the removal efficiency was 37 % for suspended solids, 10% for organic compounds, and 5 % for total nitrogen. Since algal bloom grows due to eutrophication in summer, the minus removal efficiencies of nitrogen concentration through the reservoir occurred with high frequency. Removal efficiency decreased during rainfall, showing 60 % for supended solids, and 22 % for total phosphorus. While having over nine times of capacity than the standard of non-point removal facility from Ministry of Environment, it was impounded with water during rainy season, showing not enough nonpoint removal efficiency, which indicates that maintenance is also an important factor to the nonpoint removal efficiency.

저영향개발(LID, Low Impact Development)은 물순환체계 개선을 위해 녹색 공간의 확보, 자연형 공간 조성, 자연상태의 수문순환 기능의 유지 기법 등을 활용한 개발 대상지에서의 강우유출 및 비점오염원의 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 새로운 방법이다. LID는 강우 유출수의 지하침투, 강우 종료시 증발산량의 확보, 강우 유출수의 재이용 등을 통한 강우 유출량을 최소화하는 것에 그 목적이 있다. LID 방법은 우수저류 공원, 생태저류지, 지붕층 저류공원, 보도 저류공간, 인공습지, 완충녹지대, 수목 보존지대, 지붕층 배수관, 강우 저장조, 투수성 포장, 토양 개량, 불투수층 최소화, 비점오염원 저감 등으로 효율성, 경제성, 유연성, 합리성, 토지 가치증대 등의 장점이 있다. 영산강 수계의 BOD 배출부하량이 점오염원(21,019kg/일)과 비점오염원(50,047kg/일)의 비율이 3:7 로 비점오염원 배출부하량이 훨씬 큰 상태이다. 특히, 광주광역시, 농업용 토지, 축산계 등의 비점오염원이 영산강 수질에 크게 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비점오염원의 영향이 큰 영산강 수계를 대상으로 앞으로 이루어지는 개발계획을 분석하여 LID 기법을 적용하였을 때 영산강 수질에 미치는 영향을 모델링을 통해 예측하고자 한다. 수질개선에 어느 정도의 효과가 있는지 검증하기 위해 국내 실정에 맞고 QUAL2E 모델을 근간으로 WASP5 모형의 장점들을 접목시켜 Bottle BOD의 반응기작 및 조류의 생산에 의한 유기물 증가, 탈질화 반응 등 정체수역에서 일어날 수 있는 반응기작을 모의할 수 있도록 보완한 QUALKO2 모형을 이용하여 그 효과를 모의하고자 한다. 본 연구를 통해 LID 기법이 도시화에 영향을 얼마나 덜 주는지, 수계의 비점오염원 효과를 통해 물순환 체계의 개선이 어느 정도로 어루어지는지에 대한 효과를 검증을 할 수 있는 계기가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper we consider an application of the method of electromagnetic (EM) migration to the interpretation of a typical marine controlled-source (MCSEM) survey consisting of a set of sea-bottom receivers and a moving electrical bipole transmitter. Three-dimensional interpretation of MCSEM data is a very challenging problem because of the enormous number of computations required in the case of the multi-transmitter and multi-receiver data acquisition systems used in these surveys. At the same time, we demonstrate that the MCSEM surveys with their dense system of transmitters and receivers are extremely well suited for application of the migration method. In order to speed up the computation of the migration field, we apply a fast form of integral equation (IE) solution based on the multigrid quasi-linear (MGQL) approximation which we have developed. The principles of migration imaging formulated in this paper are tested on a typical model of a sea-bottom petroleum reservoir.

Radioactive materials are in use and have many applications from the generation of electricity to the purposes of research, industry and medicine such as diagnosis and therapy. In the course of their use some of radioactive substances may be discharged into the environment from facilities using the unsealed radioactive materials, which are main artificial sources occurring the public exposure. Discharges are in the form of gases, particles or liquids. This paper provides procedures to estimate the level of the public exposure based on the conservative assumptions and simple calculations in the facility using unsealed liquid sources. They consist of two processes; (1) to calculate maximum concentration of gaseous effluents discharged through the exhaust pipe and average concentration of liquid effluents discharged through the drain of the storage tank, (2) to compare each of them to numerical guidances for the discharges of radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents mentioned in the related notification. For this purpose followings are assumed properly; daily usage, form and dispersion rate of radionuclides, daily amount of radioactive liquid waste and exhaust and drainage equipment. The procedures are readily applicable to evaluate environmental effects by planned effluent discharges from facilities using the unsealed radioactive materials. In addition they may be utilized to obtain practical requirements for radiation safety control necessary for the reductions of the public exposure.
