The Chironomidae is a benthic macroinvertebrate commonly found in freshwater ecosystems, along with Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera, which can be used for environmental health assessments. There are approximately 15,000 species of Chironomidae worldwide, but there are limited studies on species identification of domestic Chironomidae larvae. In the present study, we carried out species classification of the Chironomidae larvae that found in Jeju's tap water purification plants using morphological characteristics and genetic identification based on cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of the mitochondrial DNA. Body shape, mentum, antenna, mandible in the head capsule, and claws were observed in the larvae for morphological classification. Analysis of 17 larvae collected from faucets and fire hydrants of domestic tap water purification plants revealed the presence of two species, including 14 Orthocladius tamarutilus and 3 Paratrichocladius tammaater. These results will aid the use of the criteria information about species classification of the Chironomidae for water quality management in water purification plants and diversity monitoring of freshwater environments.

최근 기상이변, 불투수층의 증가와 배수체계개선 등의 요인으로 인한 홍수량의 증대로 하도방어 위주의 현재 홍수방어체제는 지속적인 치수사업의 시행에도 불구하고 오히려 하류에서의 홍수가 격심해지는 등 상당한 어려움에 직면하고 있다. 따라서 최근의 유역종합치수계획에서는 천변저류지 등에 의한 면적 개념의 2차원적 홍수량 분담을 통한 피해의 잠재성을 경감시키고자 하는 방안들이 제시되고 있다. 이러한 기술적 수요의 증가에 따라 낙동강유역종합치수계획, 삽교천유역종 합치수계획 등에서는 중규모 이상의 천변저류지가 검토되었지만 이러한 예는 대하천유역이므로 홍수피해가 빈발하는 농촌지역의 중소규모 하천에서는 계획된 적이 없다. 지금까지 지속적인 하천개수사업으로 2004년말 현재 하천연장 기준으로 전국의 하천 개수율은 78%에 이르고 있다. 이 중 국가하천과 지방1급하천은 약 15%로서 개수율이 약 90%이상으로 높고, 지방2급하천은 약 85%를 차지하나 대부분은 농촌지역에 위치하여 약 70% 미만의 낮은 개수율을 나타내고 있으므로 향후 중소규모유역의 지방2급하천에서 하천개수가 지속적으로 추진될 것이다. 현재 하천정비기본계획이 미수립된 하천구간에 대하여 하도계획시 제방축제에 의한 경제성이 미미한 일부 구간에 무제부의 소규모 아지늪을 조성하고, 홍수파의 전파속도를 저감하여 하류의 홍수집중을 경감시키고 유수 에너지를 감소시키며 아울러 본천의 유수환경과는 다른 습지로서의 정수환경을 창출하여 하천생태계의 다양성을 확보하는 방안도 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 경남 하동군에 위치하는 지방2급하천인 주교천에 약 $4000m^2$의 소형 습지(아지늪)를 2004년 3월에 조성하고 2006년 11월에 습지의 어류 및 수생식물에 대한 모니터링을 실시하여 아지늪의 하천생태의 다양성의 달성도를 평가하였다. 또한 주교천에서 홍수량의 증가에 따른 홍수류의 유속 변동과 그에 따른 에너지의 변화를 고찰하기 위하여 HEC-RAS를 적용하고 주교천 아지늪 주변의 수리학적 거동을 고찰하였다.

This review paper serves to describe the composition and activity of biological activated carbon (BAC) biofilm which is considered as a progressive process for water treatment. As well as several physical-chemical, biochemical and microbiological analysis methods for characterizing the composition and activity of BAC biofilm, the ability of the biofilm to remove and biodegrade organic matters and pollutants related to other water treatment processes such as pre-ozonation will be reviewed. In this paper, conversion of GAC into BAC, removal mechanism of pollutants, characteristics and affecting factors of BAC biofilm, and modeling of BAC are described in detail. In addition, strategies to control the growth of the BAC biofilm, such as varying the nutrient loading rate, altering the frequency of BAC filter backwashing and applying oxidative disinfection, will be dwelled on related to their respective process control challenges.

Domestic design manuals provide various empirical relationships of design parameters of soils with N values from the Standard Penetration Test (SPT), which can be widely used in the basic design process as well as during the construction process. However, the currently used empirical relationships are based on the data from foreign countries and are rarely evaluated with domestic data with currently used site investigation techniques. Therefore, in this study, those empirical relationships and conversion tables are evaluated with the geotechnical information in the Integrated DB Center of National Geotechnical Information and new empirical relationships are newly proposed with the consideration of domestic geotechnical conditions.

Manganese in sludge precipitated during water treatment might be soluble again in effluent from sludge thickener. If that happens, the manganese concentration of effluent from water treatment plant will exceed the limit for clean reservation. In this study the influence of pH on Mn concentration of effluent from sludge thickener of water treatment plant was investigated. When the pHs of sludge solutions increased with alkaline materials such as NaOH, KOH, CaO, $Ca(OH)_2$, $CaCO_3$, the Mn concentrations of sludge solutions decreased under the limit. The Mn concentration of effluent from sludge thickener could be controlled with waste limestones from beneficiation process at limestone mine as an alkaline material.

Normally consolidated and slightly overconsolidated soft clay layer is widely distributed in the south coast of Korea. To ensure the efficient and economical construction design of any structure to be built on this soft soil, exhaustive studies are required related to geotechnical engineering properties. In this study, the relationship of the physical properties of southern marine clay in the Korea Peninsula were examined, including natural water content, specific gravity, total unit weight, initial void ratio, liquid limit, plastic limit, and physical properties of activity and soil parameters. For the parameter relationship analysis, the latest relatively reliable data on the large harbor construction work were used, optimum values were deducted with linear regression and non-linear regression between soil parameters, water content or initial void ratio appears to be very large. Moreover, in the linear and involution pattern regression, equal coefficient of determination appeared. The relationship of the different parameters was shown to be excellent in the non-linear regression of involution equation and exponential equation pattern compared with the findings of linear regression analysis.

For a ship navigating in waves, added resistance, sway force and yaw moment due to waves differ from still water conditions, which affects the maneuverability of the ship. Therefore, it is important to estimate the sway force and yaw moment generated by waves. In this study, numerical simulations were carried out to calculate the hydrodynamic forces acting on a barge in still water and waves using CFD. Based on the results, the characteristics of course stability of a barge were investigated and analyzed. The hydrodynamic forces acting on the barge in waves were stronger than in still water, and it was confirmed that hydrodynamic forces become greater as wavelength becomes longer. In long wavelength regions, the (-) value of the yaw damping lever was larger than in still water. However, in short wavelength regions and when wavelength coincided with the length of the ship, values were smaller than in still water. In this region, it can be assumed that course stability improved. In other words, in long wavelength regions, the course stability of the barge was worse than in still water and short wavelength regions. Therefore, attention is required for safe navigation in long wavelength regions.

This research was focused on the distribution of Uranium-238 concentration in the Han River. Also, six water treatment plants in Seoul have been investigated to find out the behaviour and the removal capability of uranium. The uranium concentrations were ranged $0.02{\sim}0.54{\mu}g/L$ in the Han River. The relationship between conductivity and total dissolved solids shows that uranium concentration is positively related with conductivity and total dissolved solids. In addition, it has been founded that there was no relevance between uranium concentration and geological structure, because most of the sampling area are Banded Gneiss. The average uranium concentration in six water treatment plants was determined to $0.134\;{\mu}g/L$ in raw water, $0.050\;{\mu}g/L$ in coagulated water, $0.029\;{\mu}g/L$ in settled water, $0.020\;{\mu}g/L$ in filtered water, $0.019\;{\mu}g/L$ in finished water. After filtration in the treatment process, uranium concentration level was maintained lower than $0.029\;{\mu}g/L$. The average uranium removal efficiency compared to the raw water was 63% after coagulation, 15% after sedimentation, 8% after filtration and disinfection. The analysis shows that 78% of uranium in the raw water was removed during coagulation and sedimentation processes. However, 8% of that was removed through filtration and chlorination processes.
