Fluid conductivity logging has been applied in the boreholes to identify the permeable fi:actures and estimate the origin of saline groundwater in coast area. Fluid replacement technique measures the fluid electrical conductivity with depth at different times in a well after the borehole is first washed out with different water by passing a tube to the borehole bottom. Then formation water flows into the borehole through aquifer such as permeable fractures or porous formation during ambient or pumping condition. Measured conductivity profiles with times therefore indicate the locations of permeable zone or fractures within the open hole or the fully slotted casing hole. As a result of fluid conductivity logging for three boreholes in the study area, it is interpreted that saline groundwater is caused by seawater intrusion through fractured rock, although the effect by land reclamation partially remains. We are planning the quantitative analysis to estimate the hydraulic characteristics using fluid replacement technique, and this approach might be usefully utilized for assessing the characteristics of seawater intrusion, the design of optimal pumping, and estimating the hydraulic properties in coastal aquifer.

Fluid replacement and conductivity logging have been applied to three boreholes in coastal aquifer in order to identify permeable fractures and to estimate the origin of saline groundwater. Fluid replacement technique measures and monitors the change of borehole fluid conductivity with depth under ambient or pumping condition after replacing the original borehole fluid with different one (by pumping out original one and injecting simultaneously new one at the hole bottom). After the replacement of borehole fluid, the change of fluid conductivity can be the direct indicator of the intake flow of formation water through aquifer such as permeable fractures or porous formations. The conductivity profiles measured with times therefore indicate the locations of permeable zone or fractures within the open hole or the fully slotted casing hole. As a result of fluid conductivity logging for three boreholes at coastal area in Yeonggwang, Jeonam Province, it is interpreted that the seawater intrusion in this area is not by remnant saline groundwater after land reclamation but mainly by intrusion of saline water through fractured rock. This approach might be useful for assessing the characteristics of seawater intrusion, the design of optimal pumping, the mitigation of seawater intrusion using freshwater injection, and estimating the hydraulic characteristics in coastal aquifer.

This study, combining geophysical and environmental approaches, was undertaken to investigate the causes of secondary salinity in the Goondoola basin, in southwestern Queensland. Airborne radiometric, electromagnetic and ground electromagnetic datasets were acquired, along with data on soils and subsurface materials and groundwater. Relationships established between radiometric, elevation data, and measured material properties allowed us to generate predictive maps of surface materials and recharge potential. Greatest recharge to the groundwater is predicted to occur on the weathered bedrock rises surrounding the basin. Electromagnetic data (airborne, ground, and downhote), used in conjunction with soil and drillhole measurements, were used to quantify regolith salt store and to define the subsurface architecture. Conductivity measurements reflect soil salt distribution. However, deeper in the regolith, where the salt content is relatively constant, the AEM signal is influenced by changes in porosity or material type. This allowed the lateral distribution of bedrock weathering zones to be mapped. Salinisation in this area occurs because of local-andintermediate-scale processes, controlled strongly by regolith architecture. The present surface outbreak is the result of evaporative concentration above shallow saline groundwater, discharging at break of slope. The integration of surficial and subsurface datasets allowed the identification of similar landscape settings that are most at risk of developing salinity with groundwater rise. This information is now being used by local land managers to refine management choices that prevent excess recharge and further salt mobilisation.

A new ground water sampler was developed and evaluated for target depth sampling under most rigorous field conditions. This new concept sampler comprises an air-cylinder, a hypodermic needle and a sampling bottle. Pressurized air or nitrogen gas can be used as a mechanical power source to operate the sampler. The air-cylinder is used to jab the hypodermic needle into the rubber cap of the sampling bottle. The hypodermic needle functions as a pathway to inject groundwater into the sampling bottle. Field test was conducted in a seawater intrusion monitoring well located at Handong district of Jeju Island. Water qualities in this well are periodically changed from the effects of sea water. Water sampling fir the same target depth in this well were tried at various times, and variations in electrical conductivity and pressure at the inside and outside of the sampler were measured using CTD divers. We found that the device could collect water samples only when it was actuated, and the pattern and range of variations in electrical conductivities and pressures measured at the inside and outside of the sampler were nearly identical. These results indicate that water samples using the sampler presented in this study represent correctly water qualities in which the samplings were made at a specific target depth in a well.

Groundwater contamination caused by landfill leachate leads to various changes in aquifer environment according to the characteristics of incoming contaminants and aquifer geochemistry. These changes in aquifer environment are known to contribute to the natural attenuation phenomena of contaminants. The knowledge on changes in aquifer environment is necessary to determine the extent of groundwater pollution, to assess risk of the pollution, and to develop an appropriate remediation technologies. In this paper, the changes in aquifer environment caused by landfill leachate development of various redox zones-and the natural attenuation phenomena occurred in each redox zone are reviewed. From this review, an appropriate research direction and control action is presented for the groundwater pollutions caused by unsanitary landfills scattered across the nation.

This study tested various assumptions that simplified the configuration of the numerical model for unsaturated zone's contaminant transport to simulate the pathway to exposed point. This study investigated the contaminant migration through in the pollutant exposure pathway of vadoze zone for risk assessment of the contaminated site. For the purpose, generic scenarios as well as contaminant-based scenarios were simulated using the numerical code for transport of the contaminant in the pathway. The finite-difference one-dimensional transport with adsorption and biodegradation were considered, and it also assumed that the initial concentration was also depleted over time. The results of the generic-scenario show that as the groundwater infiltration rate decreases, the longer the path from the source to the groundwater level, the lower the concentration at the point of inflow into the groundwater level. In particular, in the case of high biodegradation rate and rapid depletion of pollutant sources, statistically outliers were found in the simulated results and generic scenarios was good at prediction.

터널이나 폐기물저장소와 같은 지하 구조물 또는 지표에서부터 상당한 깊이로 설계되거나 건설되는 구조물을 계획하거나 건축할 때 구조물의 안전성에 영향을 주는 수많은 요인 중에 간과할 수 없는 것이 바로 지하수이다. 뿐만 아니라 지상 혹은 지하에서 오염이 발생하여 오염물질이 지중환경으로 유입되는 경우, 지하수 거동은 오염물의 이송·확산에 지대한 요인으로 작용한다. 최근에는 지구온난화와 같은 유례없는 기후변화를 경험하고 있고, 따라서 수자원으로써 지하수의 역할이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 지하수의 저류와 거동은 지하매질의 특성에 지배되고 있지만, 지표 아래 자리잡고 있는 매질의 특성을 정확히 파악하기란 매우 힘들고, 따라서 지하수 거동을 해석함에 항상 불확실성이 존재한다. 전통적으로 지하매질의 특성을 이해하기 위해 다양한 지구물리탐사를 수행하여 왔고, 더욱 직접적인 관찰을 위해 시추를 수행하여, 시료를 수집·관찰하고, 시추공에서의 다양한 현장수리실험을 통해 수리특성을 알고자 하였다. 하지만 그동안의 다양한 노력에도 불구하고, 지하매질 및 지하수 거동에 대한 불확실성은 여전히 줄어들지 않고, 오히려 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 지하수 거동을 결정짓는 지하매질의 수리특성에 대한 불확실성을 정량화하기 위한 도구로써, 매개변수 보정법의 하나인 Pilot Point Method(PPM)을 소개하고자 한다. 우물 또는 관측정을 통해 관측되는 지하수의 수위는 지하매질의 특성을 반영하고 있으며, 인간이 가장 쉽게 취득할 수 있는 지하 정보에 해당한다. 지하수 수위를 이용하여 수치모형의 매개변수를 보정하게 되며, 이 때 PPM이 적용된다. Pilot points의 공간적인 분포에 따라 다양한 보정 결과가 산출될 수 있으며, 다양한 결과들을 통해 변동계수를 산정한 후 수리특성의 불확실성이 높은 지역을 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구를 통해 얻은 결과는 물리탐사 또는 시추 작업을 위한 위치 선정의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

Recently, the applications of the standing column well (SCW) ground heat exchanger (GHX) have increased significantly in Korea as a heat transfer mechanism of ground source heat pump systems (GSHP) because of its high heat capacity and efficiency. Among the various design and operating parameters, bleeding was found to be the most important parameter for improving the thermal performance, such as ground thermal conductivity and borehole thermal resistance. In this study, a bleeding analysis model was developed using the thermal response test data, and the effects of bleeding rates and bleeding locations on the thermal performance of anSCW were investigated. The results show that, when the ground water flows into the top of anSCW, the time variation of circulating water temperature decreased with increasing bleeding rate, and the ground thermal conductivity increases by as much as 179% with a 30% bleeding rate. When the ground water flows into the bottom of the SCW, the circulating water temperatures become almost constant after the increase in the beginning time because the circulating water exchanges heat with the ground structure before mixing with the ground water at the bottom.

도시화로 인한 토지 피복 상태의 변화로 인한 불투수면적의 증가와 강우강도가 증가함에 따라 지하수로 침투하지 못하고, 바다로 유출되는 강우량이 점차 증가하고 있다. 또한, 인구의 증가와 산업발달에 따른 무분별한 지하수의 사용은 심각한 지하수위의 하강으로 이어지고 있다. 지하수위와 강우량간의 상관관계를 분석하여 지하수의 체계적인 관리 및 운용을 하고자 본 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 경상도 지역의 지하수위 관측소와 강우 관측소간의 거리가 10km 이내인 지점을 선정하여, 관측 자료와 분석결과를 토대로 13개 지점을 선정하였다. 침투현상이 침루과정을 거쳐 지하수에 유입되는 과정을 고려하면 강우가 발생한 시점보다 시간이 경과 한 후에 이 지점의 하루에 내린 강우량이 이틀에 걸쳐 지하수위에 영향을 준다고 가정하였고, 1일째의 강우를 실제 강우량의 최대 100%에서 50%까지로 설정하고 2일째에 나머지 강우가 내렸다고 가정하여 각각의 강우이동평균값과 지하수위간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 또한, 한계침투량을 고려하여 강우이동평균값과 지하수위간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 한계침투량 고려시 상관계수가 0.5 이상인 지점들 중 약 70%가 강우량을 강우사상이 발생한 당일과 명일로 나누었을 때, 상관계수가 높게 나타났다. 그러므로 기존 강우와 지하수위 관측자료만 이용하여 강우이동평균과 지하수위의 상관관계를 분석하는 것 보다 침투율을 고려한 강우이동평균과 지하수위의 상관관계 분석으로 인해 지하수의 체계적인 관리와 분석이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
