산성침출수에 의한 광산폐기물 매립지 근처의 지하 환경의 오염 및 대처 방안의 효과를 수치적으로 예측하였다. 이를 위하여 지하토양에서 Darcy 법칙을 사용한 침출수의 흐름과 이산-분산에 의한 오염물질의 이동현상을 예측하기 위하여 Galerkin 유한요소법을 활용하였다. 토양오염의 지연을 위하여 석회석 차수막을 연직형과 수평형을 도입하여 그 효과를 조사하였다. 수평차수막에서의 수착이 오염물질의 이동을 지연시키는데 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 연직차수막은 지하수의 우회유동으로 인한 오염물질의 확산이 가중되고 있는 것으로 예측되었다. 전반적으로 침출수의 흐름은 광산매립지 제방 근처에서 강하게 일어나는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 근거로 차수막의 효과적인 설치방안이 고안되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

국내에 자연 방치된 폐광산에 대한 문제가 대두되면서 폐광산 주변지역에 대한 산성광산폐수와 중금속 광산폐기물의 오염실태조사가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 폐광산의 유출수와 광산폐기물에 주변 오염지하수 내의 중금속 As, Cd, Pb, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu에 대하여 무기 응집제의 첨가와 pH의 조절에 의한 제거효율을 .실내 배치실험을 통하여 규명하였다. 본 실험을 통하여 황산알루미늄(Al$_2$(SO$_4$)$_3$ㆍ13～14$H_2O$), 염화 제2철(FeCl$_3$ㆍ6$H_2O$), 황산 제2철(Fe$_2$(SO$_4$)$_3$ㆍ n$H_2O$)을 이용하여 오염수내 중금속을 90%이상 제거할 수 있었으며, 폐광산 침출수나 오염 지하수의 중금속 제거에 0.1 wt%의 응집제 첨가만으로 응집제를 이용한 화학적 처리 방법이 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

온양온천 지역 지하수에 대한 수질 조사결과, 심부 피압대수층에서 산출되는 온천수의 수질이 천층의 저온지하수에 강하게 영향을 받고 있음이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 이들 두 종류의 물 사이에서 매우 높은 상대적인 농도차이를 보이는 불소이온농도를 이용하여 천층지하수의 영향정도를 정량화할 수 있었다. 이 같은 방법으로 계산된 천층지하수 영향정도는 온천수취수정에 따라 다르게 나타나고 있었으나, 최소 10 %에서 최대 50%에 이르는 것으로 확인되었다. 이와 같은 관찰결과는 오염에 취약하지 않은 것으로 알려진 심부의 피압대수층도 과도한 양수가 이루어지게 되면 오염에 취약한 천층부의 지하수를 다량 심부로 유입시킴으로써, 점차 오염되어질 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다.

This review inquired the recently applied molecular biological and biochemical methods analyzing the microbial community structure of groundwater and, as a result, summarized the functional or taxonomic groups of active microorganisms with major contaminants in groundwater. The development of gene amplification through PCR has been possible to figure out microbial population and identification. Active microbial community structures have been analyzed using a variety of fingerprinting techniques such as DGGE, SSCP, RISA, and microarray and fatty acid analyses such as PLFA and FAME, and the activity of a specific strain has been examined using FISH. Also, this review included the dominant microflora in groundwater contaminated with fuel components such as n-alkanes, BTEX, MTBE, and ethanol and chlorinated compounds such as TCE, PCE, PCB, CE, carbon tetrachloride, and chlorobenzene.

Because the present groundwater law broadly regulates a simple and impractical guideline ignoring aquifer characters and geology, general purpose facilities for protection of groundwater contamination is still considered unsatisfactory to ensure groundwater resources. In recent, there have been growing attempts in the packer development as crucial techniques and devices for groundwater protection. This study investigated the application of packer grouting techniques to contaminated groundwaters of two well sites in the Andong and Yeongi areas, both of which revealed a satisfactory effect with improved water quality: 94% decrease in turbidity at the Andong area and 60% decrease in $NO_3$-N, respectively. Based on aquifer characters including geology, weathering depth, fracture pattern, hydraulic gradient, and the flow path of contaminants, the integrated properties of groundwater contamination should be evaluated and treated with the help of accurate analyses such as bore hole imaging and monitoring data. Packer grouting and casing on well to ensure the useful aquifer free of contaminant are expected to play important role in inhibiting the inflow of contaminants when adequately applied. Therefore it is concluded that these can serve as reliable tools in remediation and protection of contaminated groundwater as well as efficient utilization of groundwater.

This study investigated the effectiveness of ultrasonic waves on the relative permeability under a range of soil type, flushing rate, and sonication power. This study was conducted in the laboratory using a specially designed and fabricated equipment, and the laboratory study was simulated by ECLPISE 100 which is a commercial black oil simulator. The test results indicated the sonication increased contaminant extraction significantly. From analytical standpoint, sonication caused a change in the relative permeability of the test samples, a reduction in residual oil saturation and an increase in both irreducible water saturation and wettability. These three parameters are highly related with $(C_{10})^2$. The computer software ECLIPSE 100 can be used to analyze the change of the relative permeability due to sonication in two phase immiscible flow.

This study was objected to identify the temporal and spatial variations oi groundwater quality and contamination using monthly groundwater monitoring data collected from 30 wells in Daejung watershed, Jeju Island. Water samples were analyzed for major cations. anions, and environmental isotopes including $^{18}0-H_2$O,$^{2}H-H_2$O and$^{15}$ N-NO$_3$The groundwater represented mostly Na(Mg)-HCO$_3$ type, with local change toward Ca-HCO$_3$ type and Na-Cl type. Groundwater quality depends upon various factors such as the local groundwater flowpaths, input of surface contaminants with recharge events, and sea-water intrusion along the coastal area. Nitrate contamination changed temporally according to recharge events and spatially. $\delta$$^{18}$ O-$\delta$$_2$H data for monthly sampled groundwaters showed distinctive clusters, implying that groundwater was originated from independent precipitation, and subsequently recharged very fash. Using$\delta$$^{15}$ N-NO$_3$ data, major sources of nitrate and its areas of influence could be identified. The areas under influence of livestock farms showed relatively high NO$_3$-N concentrations and$\delta$$^{15}$ N values higher than 5$\textperthousand$. The agricultural areas in southeastern part showed very high concentrations of NO$_3$-N with the $\delta$$^{15}$ N values of lower than 5$\textperthousand$.

울산광산 내 지표수와 토양 중의 공극수에 함유되어 있는 비소의 오염현황을 파악하고, pH와 산화-환원 전위 값의 변화에 따른 자연저감 능력을 평가하였다. 유비철석을 비롯한 비소함유 광물은 높은 산화-환원 전위 값과 낮은 pH 조건에서 해리되며, 이후 지하수의 진화과정에서 pH가 상승함에 따라 주로 5가의 비소형태로 존재하게 된다. 울산광산지역 지하수의 비소농도는 Eh가 높은 비포화대와 포화대 지하수의 경계부에서 높은 경향을 나타내며, 포화대의 상부에서는 Eh가 비교적 일정하나 비소 농도는 다양한 분포양상을 보인다. 포화대 하부에서 비소의 함량은 매우 낮으며, Eh 감소에 따라 비소 함량이 비례적으로 감소한다. 반응경로 과정에서 비소농도는 Eh<-0.1(V)인 지하수 포화대에서 가장 낮으며, pH가 상대적으로 낮고 산화-환원 전위값이 높은 비포화대에서 증가되는 경향을 보인다. 풍화 반응 정도가 높은 광미와 토양에서 비소농도 높으나, 용출실험에서 비소가 기준치 이하로 용출되는 것은 풍화반응과 토양에 의한 비소의 자연저감이 진행되고 있음을 반영한다. RMB를 이용한 중금속 제거능력 평가 실내실험에서, 산성과 알칼리 조건 모두에서 제거율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 인회석과 철산화물질로 구성된 RMB는 친환경적이고 2차 오염문제를 극복할 수 있는 물질로서, 비소의 자연저감 능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 정화처리제로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Radioactive contaminant from a nuclear facility moves to the ecosystem by run-off or groundwater flow. Among the two mechanisms, contaminant plume through a river can be easily detected through a surface water monitoring system, but radioactive contaminant transport in groundwater is difficult to monitor because of lack of information on flow path. To understand the contaminant flow in groundwater, understanding of the geo-environment is needed. We suggest a method to decide on monitoring location and points around an imaginary nuclear facility by using the results of site characterization in the study area. To decide the location of a monitoring well, groundwater flow modeling around the study area was conducted. The results show that, taking account of groundwater flow direction, the monitoring well should be located at the downstream area. Also, monitoring sections in the monitoring well were selected, points at which groundwater moves fast through the flow path. The method suggested in the study will be widely used to detect potential groundwater contamination in the field of oil storage caverns, pollution by agricultural use, as well as nuclear use facilities including nuclear power plants.
