A study was initiated to investigate whether the groundwaters being discharged into the sea could be used as a possible water resources. This paper presents a preliminary information about the groundwaters being discharged along the shoreline of East Sea. Major discharge sites were selected primarily on the basis of the informaion on surface temperatures of the sea. Hydrogeologic and geographic conditions were also considered in selecting the major discharge sites. The development possibility of the discharging groundwater were estimated roughly, considering populations, industries and social development compatibilities of the selected areas. Groundwater dams and linked usage with surface water were suggested as possible development methods for the groundwaters.. Based on this study, we selected about 60 sites as the major discharge areas and tentatively recommended 6 sites as optimal sites for development of groundwaters being discharged into the sea. However, detailed in-situ hydrogeologic surveys are required prior to the final decision.

This study is the case of groundwater development based on the geometrical fracture model of target area established only through geological fracture mapping technique. A fracture mapping of $9km^2$, eastern Munsan, has been conducted to determine geological and hydrological factors for new water well placement in the Gyeonggi gneiss complex. Geophysical exploration was not applicable because of small restricted area and dense underground utilities at the site. Form line mapping on the basis of foliation orientation and rock type revealed a synform of NS fold axis bearing to the south. An EW geological cross-section passed through the site area shows a F2 synform as a double-wall ice cream spoon shape. Three regional faults of $N20^{\circ}E,\;N30^{\circ}W$, and NS have been dragged into the site to help understand extensional fault paths. The $N20^{\circ}E$ fault with dextral sense is geometrically interpreted as a western fault of two flexural conjugate type-P shear faults in the F2 synformal fold. The NE cross-section reveals that a possible groundwater belt in the western limb of super-posed fold area is formed as a trigonal prism within 100 m depth of the intersectional space between the $N20^{\circ}E$ fault plane and the weakly sheared plane of transposed foliation. Another possible fault for water resource strikes $N40^{\circ}E$. Recommended sites for new water well placement are along the $N20^{\circ}E\;and\;N40^{\circ}E$ faults. As a result of fracture mapping, 145 ton/day of water can be produced at one well along the $N20^{\circ}E$ fault line. Exploration of groundwater in the area is succeeded only using with geological fracture mapping and interpretation of geological cross-section, without any geophysical survey. Intersection of fault generated with the F2 synformal fold and foliation supply space of groundwater reserver.

The groundwater survey was carried out by electrical resistivity and resistivity tomography using several kinds of electrode array to delineate the depth of the saturated zone and basement complex, the aquifer system of fractured rock, and the 2-D resistivity structure was obtained by inversion technique. And the hole-to-surface and crosshole tomography were applied for two boreholes and the inverted resistivity tomogram are obtained. The comparison of those data with core logging data was performed and those results were relatively well correlated. And it was possible to find out the configuration of basement and the fracture zone and the aquifer system from the 2-D resistivity structure and resistivity tomogram.

Because the minute displacement of ground accompanied by excessive pumping of groundwater at specified site is mainly generated from ill-balancing of water budget within groundwater basin, It is necessary to monitor the variation of micro-subsidence for a long time at representative points. We made up the conceptual model using two-dimensional electrical resistivity survey and three-dimensional soil profile consisted of loam and sand. In verifying the reliability of this conceptual model using numerical modeling for ground settlement and groundwater flowing, two-dimensional electrical resistivity survey with short distance of electrode following soil sampling with hand auger would be useful for interpreting hydrogeological structure related to the minute displacement of ground consisted of loam and sand.

In this study, a 3D transmitting boundary in water-saturated transversely isotropic soil strata has been developed based on u-w formulation for application to general 3D analysis. Behavior in the far field region is expanded in the Fourier series, and dynamic stiffness for each term is obtained based on the u-w formulation. Transformation of the dynamic stiffness is presented to combine the transmitting boundary with the 3D finite elements for the near field region formulated in a 3D Cartesian coordinate system. The developed transmitting boundary is verified through a comparison of the dynamic behavior of a rigid circular foundation with the results from the existing numerical method. In addition, the developed transmitting boundary is applied to the analysis of the dynamic behavior of rigid foundations of diverse shapes, and the effects of the level of the groundwater table on the dynamic stiffness of a rigid rectangular foundation in the water-saturated transversely isotropic layered stratum are studied.

It is a well-known fact that groundwater is difficult to be recovered, once it is polluted. Since its damage may continue for a long time, its management is very much necessary. For groundwater pollution managemet, current groundwater quality should be analyzed and its diffusion should be estimated. Such analysis and estimation are greatly enhanced by a GIS. In order to build the GIS, groundwater information management system, various database related to groundwater should be constructed. The system can be utilized to analyze groundwater quality and to help administrative processes of groundwater management. In this study, we analyze No3N diffusion in the groundwater under the study area, a part of Jung-Gu area, by using groundwater analysis subsystem and create the 1/5,000 scale map for the diffusion prediction of groundwater pollution. Although Seoul Metropolitan Government has constructed the 1/25,000 scale hydrogeology map of Seoul area through basic groundwater survey in 1996, the survey data are not sufficient for local groundwater pollution management. The large scaled map constructed in this study is expected to be utilized for the management. The GIS softwares, Arc/Info and Arc/View, are used. MODFLOW and MT3D programs are extensively used to analyze groundwater pollution.

Recently, the branch-out of foreign companies into domestic markets through M&A and the opened followed by the Free Trade Agreement(FTA) with America have made the environmental site assessments of specific site more necessary. In this study, through case study of conducting actual environmental site assessment by use of a toolbox approach at a large scale of chemical plant with various contaminants located in a coastal area, the problems of guideline of domestic environmental assessment of soil were complemented. And an efficient and economical assessment was achieved. All six steps such as basic investigation, environmental site history survey, sampling and analysis, installation of monitoring wells and hydrogeological survey, and data interpretation were conducted in this study. All results of document survey, geological lineament analysis, field geology survey of surrounding area, geophysical prospecting of the site, hydraulic conductivity, measurement of groundwater flow rate and direction, sampling and analysis at each step were associated and estimated as an integrated tool box approach. As a consequence of this study, toolbox approaches were very useful techniques for contamination level and site characterization of subsurface media. The given conditions to conduct a basic survey for domestic soil environment assessment of site by use of existing documents, as well as interviews with the owner/manager/user of all adjacent properties and thorough review of all practically reviewable records pertaining to the property and surrounding properties within "Guideline for Soil Environment Assessment" radii are very poor. As a result, the application of toolbox approach in the environment site assessment of site is not only more efficient and economical, but also could be very useful assessment to integrate the soil and groundwater contamination.

We conducted this survey to find out the quality of ground water used for agriculture. Water samples mainly collected from plastic film houses which were located at Yongin City, Pyungtaek City, Hwasung Kun and Suwon City in Kyonggi Province. We measured EC, COD, ammonium, nitrate, sulfate, chlorite etc., and sampled three times in 1998. According to our survey, the ground water was suitable for irrigation purpose, but nitrate concentrations in ground water used in the intensive plastic film houses were high enough to require a special consideration or. the water and fertilizing management. On occasion of Pyungtaek, these results showed us specific. There are many differences among regions but aren't among periods on the part of nitrate concentrations. We found ground water quaky got worse as EC and nitrate value were going up. And there was high correlation between them.

제주도는 연 평균 강우량이 전국 평균의 1.5배에 해당하는 다우지역이다. 그러나 화산섬으로서의 특수한 지형 및 지질구조 때문에 지표수가 거의 발달하지 않았으며, 이러한 수문지질여건으로 인하여 수자원의 대부분을 지하수 개발에 의존할 수 밖에 없어 용수 수요량의 증가를 충족시키기 위한 지하수 개발이 가속화되어 왔다. 그러나 지하수의 과다개발 등으로 지하수의 부존량은 점차 감소할 수 밖에 없는 실정이며, 제주도의 투수성이 높은 지질과 토양으로 지하수 오염에 취약해 최근 수질기준을 초과하는 지역이 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 이에 제주 당국은 국제자유도시특별법 규정에 권장대상 빗물이용시설에 대한 시설비 보조에 관한 사항 등을 정하여 우수이용을 권장하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제주도지역의 강우패턴과 세대별 생활용수량 자료를 조사 분석하여 효율적인 가정용 우수 이용 시스템으로서 갈수기에도 안정적으로 용수를 공급받을 수 있는 저류탱크의 크기 및 우수배관의 관경결정 기법을 개발하고 수질의 안정화를 위한 우수수질 안정화 기법을 제시하였다. 우수이용 시스템의 설계를 위하여 개발한 모형인 DDP, DOS 모형을 이용하여 강우 및 용수의 기초자료가 비교적 풍부한 제주도 지역에 적용함으로써 국내의 다른 산간지역과 도서지역에서도 본 시스템의 적용이 용이하게 될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 본 시스템 및 시스템 모형화에 대한 지속적인 연구를 통하여 보다 경제적이고 안정적인 시스템 설계가 가능한 범용적인 모형의 개발을 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
