Seawater intrusion areas were calculated in Yeosu region considering sea level rise and the effects of countermeasures for seawater intrusion were analyzed using SEAWAT program. The estimated seawater intrusion area was $14.90km^2$ in 2015. When we applied climate change scenarios the area was changed to $19.19km^2$ for RCP 4.5 and $20.43km^2$ for RCP 8.5 respectively. The mitigation effects by artificial recharge with total $50m^3/d$, $100m^3/d$, and $300m^3/d$ are from 3.75% to 10.68% for RCP 4.5, and from 5.82% to 10.77% for RCP 8.5 respectively. If we install barrier wall with the thickness 0.8 m, 1.3 m, and 1.8 m, the mitigation effects are from 6.67% to 12.04% for RCP 4.5, and from 6.17% to 14.98% for RCP 8.5 respectively. The results of this study can be used to be a logical means of quantitative grounds for policy decisions to prevent groundwater contamination by seawater intrusion and subsequent secondary damage in coastal areas.

This study was conducted to examine an artificial recharge system, which was considered to be an alternative for securing additional groundwater resources in a high-density greenhouse region. An injection well with a depth of 14.0 m was placed in an alluvial plain of the zone. Eight monitoring wells were placed in a shape of dual circles around the injection well. Aquifer tests showed that the aquifer was comprised with high-permeable layer with hydraulic conductivities of 1.5×10^-3~2.4×10^-2 cm/sec and storage coefficients of 0.07~0.10. A step injection test resulted in a specific groundwater-level rising (Sr/Q) values of 0.013~0.018 day/㎡ with 64~92% injection efficiencies. Results of the constant-rate injection test with an optimal injection rate of 100 ㎥/day demonstrated an enormous storage capacity of the alluvial aquifer during ten experimental days. To design an optimal recharge system for an artificial recharge, the high-permeable layer should be isolated by dual packers and suitable pressure should be applied to the injection well in order to store water. An anisotropy ratio of the alluvial aquifer was evaluated to be approximately 1.25 : 1 with an anisotropy angle of 71 degrees, indicating intervals among injection wells are almost the same.

In Korea, there are 1,474 thousand pumping wells nationwide which account for about 12% of total water use in 2012. As much as 39 hundred million tons of groundwater were used while 333 hundred million tons of total water were supplied in 2012. Because the water management authority projects that water demand will exceed supply by 2021, the authority is planning to extensively expand groundwater use in accordance with economic feasibility. Using the basic frameworks of cost-benefit analyses of the World Bank and the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), the objective of this study is to examine the costs and benefits of the expansion of Korea's groundwater extraction through pumping wells. We conclude that the BC ratio of the groundwater pumping wells is 2.98. This signifies that the benefits are 2.98 times higher than the costs. The benefits include use and non-use values of pumping wells while the costs include the installation and maintenance of new wells, in addition to the restoration and pollution costs of abandoned wells, as well as fees for water quality tests, etc.

지하수의 인공함양특성을 해석하기 위한 기초조사로서 대구 낙동강변의 강변여과수 개발지역인 충적층내에 부존하는 자연수의 지구화학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 특히 관측공 중 한 공에는 다중패커시스템 (Multi-packer system)을 설치하여 보다 체계적인 심도별 변화를 살펴보았다. 전체적으로 시추공 및 지표수에 대한 현장측정자료는 시기별로 큰 차이를 보이지 않지만 EC값의 경우 장기양수시험이 시작된 시기부터 급격히 낮아지는 경향을 보인다. 연구지역의 자연수는 Ca-HCO$_3$형에서부터 Ca-SO$_4$형에 속하며 특히 미량원소로서 Mn의 함량이 매우 높게 나타나고 있다. 인위적 오염의 지표인 NO$_3$함량은 현재 양수정에서 ~10mg/L 정도의 함량을 보이고 있으며 이밖에 다중패커가 설치된 관측공의 경우 최상부 (6m)에서 ~40mg/L의 높은 함량을 보여준다. 다중패커시스템에 의해 채취된 시료에 대해 심도에 따른 변화를 살려보면 Na, Ca, Mg, HCO$_3$의 함량이 심도에 따라 증가하고 있고, 음이온 중 Cl과 SO$_4$의 경우는 맨 하부구간일 18m에서 채취된 시료들이 시료채취시기와 관계없이 매우 낮은 값을 보인다. 미량원소의 경우 문제가 되는 Mn은 시료채취시기와 관계없이 중간구간인 13.5m구간에서 특히 많은 함량을 보이고 있다. 따라서 강변 여과수로 개발하기 위한 장기양수시험에 있어서 높은 Mn 및 NO$_3$함량에 대한 보다 체계적인 연구와 충적층을 구성하고 있는 모래층, 자갈층, 암반층에 대한 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

It is getting difficult to manage water resources in South Korea because more than half of annual precipitation is concentrated in the summer season and its intensity is getting severe due to global warming and climate change. Artificial recharge schemes can be a useful method to manage water resources in Korea adapting to climate change. Patent analysis enables us to prevent overlapping investment and to find out unoccupied technology. In this study, international patent trends and barriers of artificial recharge technology are analysed for patents of Korea, Japan, the United States and Europe. The four artificial recharge methods such as well recharge, surface infiltration, bank filtration and underground structures are classified as main class and the nine sub-technologies such as water intake, water treatment, injection wells, monitoring of groundwater flow, groundwater pumping, surface infiltration/soil aquifer treatment, radial collection well, iron/manganese treatment, and underground subsurface dam are classified as intermediate class. Water intake techniques are subdivided into five classifications. Total 1,281 of patents, searched by WIPS DB tool and selected after removing noisy patents, are analyzed quantitatively to evaluate application trends by year, applicant, country for each classified technologies and analyzed qualitatively to find out occupied and unoccupied technologies. It is expected that upcoming research and development project could be performed efficiently in that an avoidance plan for the similar patents and differentiation plan for the advancing patents are set up based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis results from this research.

It is getting difficult to manage water resources in South Korea because more than half of annual precipitation is concentrated in the summer season and its intensity is increasing due to global warming and climate change. Artificial recharge schemes such as well recharge of surface water and roof-top rainwater harvesting can be a useful method to manage water resources in Korea. In this study, potential artificial recharge site is evaluated using geographic information system with hydrogeological and social factors. The hydrogeological factors include annual precipitation, geological classification based on geological map, specific capacity and depth to water level of national groundwater monitoring wells. These factors were selected to evaluate potential artificial recharge site because annual precipitation is closely related to source water availability for artificial recharge, geological features and specific capacity are related to injection capacity and depth to water is related to storage capacity of the subsurface medium. In addition to those hydrogeological factors, social aspect was taken into consideration by selecting the areas that is not serviced by national water works and have been suffered from drought. These factors are graded into five rates and integrated together in the GIS system resulting in spatial distribution of artificial recharge potential. Cheongsong, Yeongdeok in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Hadong in Gyeongsangnam-do, and Suncheon in Jeollanam-do were proven as favorable areas for applying artificial recharge schemes. Although the potential map for artificial recharge in South Korea developed in this study need to be improved by using other scientific factors such as evaporation and topographical features, and other social factors such as water-curtain cultivation area, hot spring resorts and industrial area where groundwater level is severely lowered, it can be used in a rough site-selection, preliminary and/or feasibility study for artificial recharge.

For the Hancheon drainage area in Jeju island, a groundwater flow model using Visual MODFLOW was developed to simulate artificial recharge through injection wells installed in the Hancheon reservoir. The model was used to analyze changes of the groundwater level and the water budget due to the artificial recharge. The model assumed that $2{\times}10^6m^3$ of storm water would recharge annually through the injection wells during the rainy season. The transient simulation results showed that the water level rose by 39.6 m at the nearest monitoring well and by 0.26 m at the well located 7 km downstream from the injection wells demonstrating a large extent of the affected area by the artificial recharge. It also shown that, at the time when the recharge ended in the 5th year, the water level increased by 81 m at the artificial reservoir and the radius of influence was about 2.1 km downstream toward the coast. The residence time of recharged groundwater was estimated to be no less than 5 years. The model also illustrated that 15 years of artificial recharge could increase the average linear velocity of groundwater up to 1540 m/yr, which showed 100 m/yr higher than before. Increase of groundwater storage due to artificial recharge was calculated to be $2.4{\times}10^6$ and $4.3{\times}10^6m^3$ at the end of the 5th and 10th years of artificial recharge, respectively. The rate of storage increase was gradually diminished afterwards, and storage increase of $5.0{\times}10^6m^3$ was retained after 15 years of artificial recharge. Conclusively, the artificial recharge system could augment $5.0{\times}10^6m^3$ of additional groundwater resources in the Hancheon area.
