The main purpose of this study is to apply spatial analysis using semivariograms to small-loop electromagnetic survey data to assess the extent of seawater intrusion in an experimental watershed. To indicate the extent of seawater intrusion over the study area, vertical electrical soundings at 33 points and electrical conductivity logging in two wells were conducted. From the correlation between resistivities obtained by inversion and the depth of the aquifer at the two wells, the region of seawater intrusion was identified and demonstrated by electrical conductivity logging results obtained over two years. To measure the variation of apparent conductivity with depth, an electromagnetic survey in six frequency bands was adopted. Apparent conductivity mapping with spatial analysis using semivariograms is an effective technique for identifying the region of seawater intrusion at shallow depth.

매립장주변의 대수층 특성과 수리지화학적 특성과의 상관관계 분석은 매립장 환경 위해 요인을 평가하는데 중요한 역할을 하며 이를 위해 생활쓰레기 매립장인 금산 매립장을 대상으로 연구를 수행하였다. 대수층 매질 특성을 파악하기 위해 토양시료를 채취하여 중금속 성분 및 pH, 전기전도도, 용존유기탄소, 양이온교환능력, 유기물함량, 토양 입도분석을 수행하였고, 수리지화학적 특성 파악을 위해 수질검층 및 지하수 시료를 분석하여 매립지역의 수직 및 수평적인 분포 특성을 파악하였다. 대수층의 토양특성과 지하수 수질특성의 비교분석 결과 침출수 집수정을 기점으로 침출수의 영향을 받은 관측정의 전기전도도(EC) 측정값이 배경 지하수에 비해 상대적으로 높은 값을 보여 주었다. 입도분석 결과 상부 표토에 가까운 50cm 이내의 토양은 농경의 영향으로 심부보다 상대적으로 실트질 토양이 많고 이보다. 심부의 토양은 사질 토양으로 되어 있었다. 이러한 투수성이 좋은 사질 토양은 지하수의 이동을 비교적 쉽게 유도하기 때문에 매립장으로부터 침출수가 누출되었을 때 지하수 흐름을 따라 빠르게 이동할 수 있는 통로로 작용될 것으로 판단된다.

Particularly in research related to seawater intrusion the change of fluid electrical conductivity is one of major concerns, and effective monitoring can help to optimize a water pumping performance in coastal areas. Special considerations should be given to the mounting of sensors at proper depth during the monitoring design since the vertical distribution of fluid electrical conductivity is sensitive to the characteristics of seawater intrusion zone. This tells us the multi-channel electrical conductivity monitoring is of paramount consequence. It, however, is a rare event when this approach becomes routinely available in that commonly used commercial stand-alone type sensors are very expensive and inadequate for a long term monitoring of electrical conductivity or water level due to their restricted storage and difficulty of real-time control. For this reason, we have developed a real-time monitoring system that could meet these requirements. This system is user friendly, cost-effective, and easy to control measurement parameters - sampling interval, acquisition range, and others. And this devised system has been utilized for the electrical conductivity monitoring in boreholes, Yeonggwang-gun, Korea. Monitoring has been consecutively executed for 24 hours, and the responses of electrical conductivity at some channels have been regularly increased or decreased while pumping up water. It, with well logging data implemented before/after pumping water, verifies that electrical conductivity changes in the specified depths originate from fluid movements through sand layer or permeable fractured rock. Eventually, the multi-channel electrical conductivity monitoring system makes an effective key to secure groundwater resources in coastal areas.
