The Chonju and Samchun streams are palling though Chonju City and several contamination sources are located along these streams. The Samchun stream joins the Chonju stream in the Gosapyeong waste disposal site and the Chonju stream finally joint to the Mankyeong River. The Chonju and Samchun streams are now contaminated with BOD, COD, T-N and T-P and the amounts of each contamination are increasing from upper stream to downstream. At the downstream the amounts of COD. T-N.T-P are several times higher than fifth grade of water quality thor lacustrine. Sewage from Chonju provides BOD, COD,T-N and T-P into the Chonju and Samchun streams and Chonju Waste Water Treatment Plant il a main source of COD, T-N and T-P contamination. Gosapyeong waste disposal site may be the source of BOD and COD contamination. T-N is higher than fifth grade of water quality for lacustrine at the upper stream indicationg that the rivers are contaminated with T-N before inflowing into Chonju by agricultural activity. The Chonju stream asffects the contamination of the Mankyeong river with BOD. COD, T-N,T-P. Other branch steams of the Mankyeong river also affects the contamination of the Mankyeong river by BOD, COD, T-N and T-P, Among the branch streams, the Ikasn stream is a main contamination source. Amounts of concentrations inflowing from the Chonju and Sanchun Streams on Aug. 1999 are calculated by using yeasured flow rate find concentrations of contaminants The result are as fikkiws; 1) the amounts of influent from the Gosan Stream are 0.49, 0.86, 1.61 and 0.01 ton/day for BOD, COD, T-N and T-P, respectively, 2) compared to the amounts of influent from the Gosan Stream, BOD, COD,T-N,T-P supplied from the Chonju river are higher by about 5, 7, 7. 36 times, respectively, and those supplied from the Iksan stream are higher by about 13, 10, 10, 147 times, respectively.

This study aimed to understand the spatiotemporal variations in nitrogen content in the Gyeongan stream along the main stream and at the discharge points of the sub-basins, and to identify the origin of the nitrogen. Field surveys and laboratory analyses, including chemical compositions and isotope ratios of nitrate and boron, were performed from November 2021 to November 2022. Based on the flow duration curve (FDC) derived for the Gyeongan stream, the dry season (mid-December 2021 to mid-June 2022) and wet season (mid-June to early November 2022) were established. In the dry season, most samples had the highest total nitrogen(T-N) concentrations, specifically in January and February, and the concentrations continued to decrease until May and June. However, after the flood season from July to September, the uppermost subbasin points (Group 1: MS-0, OS-0, GS-0) where T-N concentrations continually decreased were separated from the main stream and lower sub-basin points (Group 2: MS-1~8, OS-1, GS-1) where concentrations increased. Along the main stream, the T-N concentration showed an increasing trend from the upper to the lower reaches. However, it was affected by those of the Osan-cheon and Gonjiamcheon, the tributaries that flow into the main stream, resulting in respective increases or decreases in T-N concentration in the main stream. The nitrate and boron isotope ratios indicated that the nitrogen in all samples originated from manure. Mechanisms for nitrogen inflow from manure-related sources to the stream were suggested, including (1) manure from livestock wastes and rainfall runoff, (2) inflow through the discharge of wastewater treatment plants, and (3) inflow through the groundwater discharge (baseflow) of accumulated nitrogen during agricultural activities. Ultimately, water quality management of the Gyeongan stream basin requires pollution source management at the sub-basin level, including its tributaries, from a regional context. To manage the pollution load effectively, it is necessary to separate the hydrological components of the stream discharge and establish a monitoring system to track the flow and water quality of each component.

The purpose of this study is complementing existing flood-reaching timetable by theoretically determined numerical model and suggesting techniques for calculating the exact arrival time of flood. For this, according to the discharge of Namhan River, arrival time measurements, using u-IT technology applied sensor buoys, were performed. Based on the results of measurements, this study proposed complementary relation of average reach time by the discharged water considering tributary inflow, which was not considered established expression. With this study, u-IT based actual technology that is complementing the existing flood forcasting-warning data was developed. Applying this technology to the average reach time calculation by the discharged water, it is expected to reduce flood-oriented damage.

Oceanic conditions of the Tsushima Warm Current (TWC) region in the southern area of the East Sea (Japan Sea) are examined using data obtained from a CREAMS (Circulation Research if the East Asian Marginal Seas) cruise in June 1996. In 1990s, a lower temperature appears in 1996 and in this period, two branches of the TWC exist and the first branch of the TWC flows inshore of the Japanese coastal region compared to that in the other years, especially in the shallower water layer at depth less than about 200 m. The TWC cored with the higher salinity (>34.6 psu) is clearly observed over the continental shelf in the Japanese coastal region and offshore and identified by geostrophic calculation. Intrusion of the TWC into the East Sea through the Korea Strait (the Tsushima Strait) makes the density structure in the water column change and the water mass in the TWC region is unstable based on Brunt­Vaisala frequency.

In this study, the variation of water quality in Osan stream was investigated through continuous monitoring, and mass balance and metabolism occurred into water body were estimated to set up effective management plan for water quality of small urban stream. From the results of continuos investigation of water quality in Osan stream, the things written as follows must be previously done to improve water quality of main stream. Firstly, it need that effective management plan for tributaries must be set up to improve the water quality in main stream. Secondly, the counter plan for re-eruption of pollutants from sediment in main-stream is required to prevent inner pollution. In this study, we showed that small urban stream can be managed effectively by simple investigation to prevent deterioration of water quality. Therefore continuous monitoring for water quality in stream is important to improve water quality, furthermore matter cycle and mass balance happening in the stream environment must be correctly estimated to make up healthy stream environment.

최근 배출되는 미량유해물질로 1991년 페놀, 2004년 1,4-다이옥산, 2006년 퍼클로레이트 검출 등 빈번하게 원수수질 오염사고가 발생하고 새로운 미량유해 화학물질의 배출이 우려됨에 따라, 일부 시민단체, 시의회, 언론 등에서 깨끗하고 안전한 상수원수 확보를 위한 근본적인 대책을 요구하는 목소리가 커지고 있다. 이에 대한 대책의 일환으로 취수원 이전에 대한 타당성 등이 검토되고 있다. 이러한 요구를 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 K-WEAP 모형을 이용하여 낙동강수계 물수지 분석을 실시하였다. 관련된 기존자료를 이용하여 용수수요량을 산정하였으며, 갈수량시 물수지 분석을 실시하였다. 연구에 사용된 K-WEAP 모형은 SEI-B(Srockholm Environment Institute, Boston Center)에서 개발된 WEAP에 기반을 두고 우리나라에 특성에 맞게 모의형태를 개선하고 한글화한 모형으로 분석대상 지역으로서 도시지역과 농업지역, 단일 소유역이나 복잡한 하천유역의 물 수요-공급 시스템에 적용할 수 있다. 또한 K-WEAP 모형은 용수목적별 수요량 분석, 물 절약, 수리권과 배분 우선순위, 지하수와 하천유량 모의, 저수지 운영, 수력발전, 오염물질 추적, 생태계 필요수량 분석과 같은 광범위한 부문의 문제들까지 다룰 수 있다. 본 연구에서 물수지 분석에 사용된 대상구간은 낙동지점에서 고령교지점까지 약 120km이며, 낙동강에 유입되는 지류로는 감천과 금호강을 대상에 포함하였다. 대상구간에 대해서는 3가지의 시나리오를 바탕으로 모의를 진행하였다. 선정된 3가지 시나리오는 현재의 대구 인근지역의 취수와 방류를 고려하는 상태와 현실가능성이 있는 2가지의 대안에 대해서 분석을 실시해 보았다. 대안들은 각각의 대구 취수시설을 구미 상류로 이전하여 취수하는 상황과 구미지역 및 칠곡지역의 방류구 시설을 하류로 이전하여 방류하는 상황으로 가정하여 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 현재 상태의 시나리오에서만 갈수기시 만족할 만한 결과를 보여주었고 나머지 2가지의 시나리오에서는 유량이 부족함을 나타났다. 현재의 상태를 모의한 시나리오를 제외한 시나리오의 분석에서는 갈수기 시에 물 부족을 겪게 된다. 이는 낙동강 상류에서 추가방류가 없으면 해결되지 못하는 상황으로 다른 대안들(신규 댐 방류 등)에 대한 추가적인 시나리오 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

This study performed 2-D(two-dimensional) hydrodynamic analysis using EFDC in the Nakdong River. For the simulation of the flood season and non-flood season, the measured data including water level, weir outflow and tributary inflow were used, and the accuracy and applicability of the model were verified by comparing the measured water level and computed one. In addition, statistical quantitative assessment of the model performance was performed by estimating PBIAS, RSR, and RMSE for the computed water level. Then, the average velocity for each section between weirs was calculated by applying constant discharge conditions, and it was compared and verified with the measured velocity by Hydrological Survey Center. In this study, a simple method for estimating the arrival time was proposed, and it is expected that it will be practically applicable in field practices such as flood forecasting and warning.

During studies of the fish fauna and communities of Mankyeong River, which flows to the Yellow Sea, 14 families in 44 genera and 63 species of freshwater fishes were caught. Zacco platypus (27.7%) was the dominant species and Z. koreanus (11.3%) the subdominant species in this river. Twenty-three species of Korean endemic fishes appeared, and two of these, Pseudopungtungia nigra and Liobagrus obesus, represented endangered Korea species. Community structure of each branch stream was stable, showing appropriate dominant species: Z. koreanus in Jeonju Stream, Z. platypus in Kosan and Soyang Streams, and Carassius auratus in Mankyeong main stream. Three introduced species appeared: C. cuvieri, Micropterus salmoides, and Lepomis macrochirus. Among these introduced species, M. salmoides expanded its territory from midstream to downstream because of its strong carnivorous tendency and it favoring of lentic waters. This distribution of M. salmoides affected the number and distribution of small native freshwater fishes, especially those in the subfamily Acheilognathinae.

The purpose of the study was to gather basic bacteriological data regarding the quality of Korean surface waters. Total coliforms, fecal coliforms and fecal Streptococci survey in the water of Lake Eui-Am were undertaken by the membrance filter technique. A total of 37 samples were collected in August 14, 1970. Total coliforms were detected in all samples, fecal coliforms and fecal Streptococci were detected in 68% and 82% of samples, respectively. Bacterial densities of the lake water were varied by station and depth. The numbers of bacteria per 100ml of the lake water were; 8-225(65.3 average) for the total coliforms, 0-112(26.2 average) for the fecal coliforms, 0-77(25.8 average) for the fecal Streptococci, and 8-302 (91.1 average) for the total number of total coliforms and fecal Streptococci. These results suggest that the Eui-Am lake water is only lightly polluted and indicate that the lake water, properly maintained, is a source of raw water of good bacteriological quality. Three forms of fecal pollution bacteria tend to increase with depth. This is believed that the suspended matter with conglomerated bacteria plays an important role in regulating of bacterial densities in summer season.
