This paper presents treatment efficiency and plant growth of a subsurface-flow constructed wetland system (23 m in length, 6.5 m in width, 0.65 m in depth) over one year after its establishment on floodplain of a stream in June 2000. An upper layer of 10 cm in depth was filled with course sand and the main biological layer of 50 cm depth with crushed stone with 8 - 15 mm in diameter. The system was planted with common reeds (Phragmites australis) grown on pots. Effluent discharged from a secondary-level treatment plant was funneled into it. Reed stems emerging in April 2001 grew up to 145.9cm until July 2001. The number of reed stems in July 2001 increased by about 11 times compared with that just after planting. The system was inundated seven times by storms over the monitoring period. Reeds were slightly bent after flooding, however they returned to almost upright standing in a couple of weeks. Small portion of inside slope of berm was eroded and the system surface had a sedimentation of 2 - 3 mm in depth. The average removal rates for SS, $BOD_5$, T-N and T-P was 73%, 70%, 53%, and 72%, respectively. The purification efficiencies for SS and $BOD_5$ were fairly good. The reduction rates for T-N was relatively low for the period of late fall through winter until early spring due to lower water temperature which retarded microbial nitrification and denitrification mechanisms. Reduction in the concentration of T-P during fall and winter was relatively higher than that during spring. Leach of phosphorous from plant litters lying on system surface and slight resuspension of precipitated phosphorous in substrates resulted in lower reduction for T-P in spring.

The field scale experiment was performed to examine the effect of physical design parameters on the constructed wetland performance and recommend the feasible design of constructed wetland in Korean polder areas. Four sets (each set of 0.85 ha) of wetland (0.8 ha) and pond (0.08 ha) systems were used. Two different wetland systems, a wetland-pond system and a pond-wetland system, were studied to examine the effect of wetland and pond configuration. And two different length-to-width ratios were used, 2: 1 and 0.8: 1, to examine the effect of aspect ratio. A pond-wetland system was more preferable than a wetland-pond system, and also requires a smaller area than a wetland-pond system or a wetland system to reduce T-P. There was no difference in effluent concentration between the 2:1 system and the 0.8:1 system. Although the linear velocity of the 2:1 aspect was higher than the 0.8:1 aspect, resuspension was not a factor in this study due to a very low linear velocity. From this study and other literature review, it was found that design method of paddy rice field could be applied and expanded to the design of constructed wetland in Korea. Further investigation for the detailed design parameters of constructed wetland needs be continued for design method of paddy rice to be applied in full scale.

Constructed wetland system which can be applied to the rural wastewater treatment system was examined by pilot plant in Kon-Kuk University. Hydraulic loading rate of wastewater was about 0.16m$^3$/m$^2$. day and theoretical detention time in the system was 1.38 days. The effluent of the septic tank for the school building was applied as inflow to the system. The influent concentration of DO was zero but effluent was up to 4.37mg/${\ell}$ which implies that oxygen was supplied enough from atmosphere by reaeration to support biological activity of the system. Average influent concentration of BOD was 104mg/${\ell}$ and effluent was 24mg/${\ell}$ with average removal rate of 76%. Average influent concentration of COD was 215mg/${\ell}$ and effluent was 63mg/${\ell}$ with average removal rate of 70 % . Average influent concentration of SS was 78mg/${\ell}$ and effluent was 10mg/${\ell}$ with average removal rate of 87%. Two components, BOD and SS, are regulated by law to keep maximum water quality standard of 80mg/${\ell}$ when daily outflow rate is less than 100$m^3$/day which is the case of most rural communities. Therefore, the results from the experiment showed that constructed wetland system can meet the water quality standard easily. Average influent concentration of total nitrogen was 165mg/lwhich is relatively higher than normal wastewater, and effluent was about 156mg/${\ell}$ with average removal rate of only 6%. Average influent concentration of total phosphorus was 41 mg/${\ell}$ and effluent was 6mg/${\ell}$ with average removal rate of 87%. Overall, constructed wetland system was thought to be effective to treat wastewater if nitrogen removal mechanism is improved. Considering low cost, less maintenance, and high treatability, this system can be a practical alternative for the wastewater treatment in rural area The experiment was performed during the summer and fall season, and treatment efficiency of the system is expected to decrease in low temperature. therefore, further study including temperature is required to evaluate feasibility of the system more in detail.

The field scale experiment which is constructed with four sets (0.88 ha for each set) of wetland (0.8 ha) and pond (0.08 ha) systems was performed to examine the effect of plant coverage on the constructed wetland performance and to recommend the optimum development and management of macrophyte communities. After six growing seasons of wetlands, plant coverage was about 100%. And the concentration of DO showed low value (1.0~5.4 mg/L). This is caused by a blighted plant consumed dissolved oxygen with decay in water column. As the result, water column went to be anaerobic conditions and T-N removal rate are 58~67%. Dead vegetation increased nitrogen removal during winter because it is a source of organic carbon which is an essential parameter in denitrification. However, wetland released phosphorus caused by a blighted plant and accumulation, the removal rate of phosphorus might be decreased. To rise of DO concentration, the three open-waters were constructed in cell 3 and 4. Cell 3 has two open-waters (width 10 m, depth 1.8 m) and cell 4 has one open-water (width 20 m, depth 1.8 m). As the result, DO concentration and treatment efficiency of nutrient and BOD were improved. In case that constructed wetland is operated for a long time, physical circulation structure such as open water help continuous circulation of aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Through the constructed open-water, treatment efficiency of phosphorus and nitrogen in wetland could be improved effectively.

한지의 제조에 있어서 부원료인 점질물은 초지시 매우 중요한 역할을 하는데 그 주된 역 할은 다음과 같다. 먼저 점질물은 섬유의 분산을 용이하게 하고 종이의 강도를 증가시키며, 양지와는 달리 박엽지의 제조가 편리하고, 종이의 경도를 증가시키며, 습지의 처리를 용이하 게 하며, 점성으로 인하여 섬유의 침전올 방지하고, 종이의 광택을 향상시키는 둥 매우 중요 한 역할을 한다. 그러나 한지 제조시 이러한 식물성 점제의 미묘한 작용은 현재 대다수의 한지 제조 공장에서 사용하고 있는 합성점제인 PAM이나 PEO 등의 합성 고분자 화합물에 서는 기대하기 어려운 작용이라 여겨진다. 이와 같은 사실에서 본 연구에서는 전통적인 천 연점질물인 황촉규근의 점질물과 합성점제인 PAM 및 우리 나라에서 전혀 사용되지 않고 있는 나무수국 내수피의 점질물을 이용하여 한지를 제조하고 이들 한지의 특성을 SEM 및 A AFM(Atomic Force Microscopy)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 먼저 각각의 점질물로 제조한 한지를 SEM으로 관찰한 결과 닥나무 인피섬유의 최외층에 투명막이 존재하는 사실을 발견할 수 있었다. 이러한 투명막은 닥나무나 뽕나무 인피섬유에 만 존재하고 삼지닥나무나 산닥나무 둥과 같은 기타 인피섬유에는 존재하지 않으므로 한지 의 원료 섬유의 식별에 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 또한 이러한 투명막은 섬유간 결합을 증 대시켜 한지의 강도 발현에 기여한다고 사료된다. 천연점질물인 황촉규근과 나무수국 점 질물을 이용하여 제조한 한지를 SEM 및 SEM-EDXA를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 황촉규근 점질물로 제조한 한지에는 상당량의 전분입자가 폰재하고 있었으며 나무수국 점질물로 제 조한 한지에는 침상의 수산칼슐 결정이 상당량 존재하고 있는 사실을 발견하였다. 이러한 사실은 한지 제조시 사용된 점질물의 식별에 중요한 요소라 사료된다. 한지의 원료인 닥나무 인피펄프와 침엽수 미표백 크라프트 펄프를 AFM을 이용하여 분석 한 결과, 닥나무 인피펄프의 마이크로피브릴 폭은 5-10nm로 Sw-UKP의 마이크로피브릴 폭 lO-20nm보다 매우 가늘고, 치밀한 세포벽 구조를 하고 있었다. 닥나무 인피펄프의 이러 한 세포벽 구조 및 마이크로피브렬의 형태가 Sw-UKP보다 높은 섬유강도를 나타내는 원인 이라 사료된다. 각각의 점질물을 이용하여 제조한 한지의 섬유표면을 AFM을 이용하여 관 찰한 결과, 원료펄프의 표면관찰에서와는 달리 초지시 사용된 점질물이 섬유표면을 피복하 고 있어 명확한 형태의 마이크로피브렬을 관찰할 수 가 없었다. 따라서 점질물의 이러한 역 할이 한지의 강도 및 보존성 향상에 기여하리라 사료된다.

To develop sewage treatment apparatus by natural purification method, the sewage treatment plant that consisted of aerobic and anaerobic plot was constructed. And then, the effects of treatment conditions on the removal of pollutants in the relation to sewage loading, sewage injection method and season according to the pebble kind. Removal rate of BOD and COD according to the sewage loading in effluent were over 95 and 77%, respectively. Removal rate of nitrogen in treated water by aerobic plot and effluent using sand were about 22~40 and 49~75%, respectively. Those of effluent using sand 75%+ oyster shell 25% and sand 50%+ oyster shell 50% as filter media in comparison with using sand were about 7~25 and 16~23%, respectively. Removal rate of phosphorus in treated water by aerobic plot and effluent using sand as filter media were about 30~36 and 52~56%, respectively. Those of effluent using sand 75%+ oyster shell 25% and sand 50%+ oyster shell 50% in comparison with using sand as filter media were about 11~40 and 12~45%, respectively. Removal efficiency of BOD and COD according to the intermittent injection method of sewage were slightly decreased, but those of nitrogen and phosphorus were little varied in comparison with continuous injection method. Removal efficiency of BOD and COD in winter in comparison with the others were little varied, but those of nitrogen and phosphorus slightly decreased.

The microcosm type wetland systems were constructed in order to treat wastewater contaminated with parathion. The microcosm reactor consisted of marsh and pond type. The experiment was carried out using batch (marsh or pond) and continuous (marsh-pond and pond-marsh type) systems. In the batch reactor, marsh-type wetland completely removed parathion in water within 8 days, while pond reactor removed 97% of parathion during the same period. During parathion degradation, the amount of 4-nitrophenol production, one of the metabolites from parathion degradation, was higher in marsh-type batch reactor. In the continuous systems, both marsh-pond and pond-marsh combination systems effectively removed parathion from water, and the production of 4-nitrophenol was also minimal. In the extraction experiment, the parathion and its metabolite were not found in the wetland soil and the plant. In order to achieve both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, the continuous wetland system combining marsh and pond type can be the alternative for the non-point source pollutants such as parathion pesticide.

최근 하천의 기능이 다양화되면서 물 사용 및 배분과 관련하여 각종 갈등이 첨예화 되면서 수리권에 대한 체계적인 정리가 필요하게 되었다. 특히, 각종 수리권의 적용 범위나 한계를 논하기 위해서는 근본적으로 하천의 자연유량과 인공유량에 대한 이해가 우선되어야 하는데 이는 수리권의 본질을 이해하는데 기본적인 사항이다. 하천의 수질개선은 오염원을 저감 또는 제거하는 것과 하천의 유량을 증가시키는 것이다. 특히, 수질개선(Water Quality Improvement)이라는 목표를 달성하기 위해 도입된 물이용부담금제도가 "수질개선사업의 범위가 어디까지인가?"라는 근본적 질문에 대한 명확한 정의가 이루어지지 않는 경우 향후 물이용부담금 제도의 효용성은 저하될 수 밖에 없다. 하천의 수질개선은 세가지 메커니즘에 의해 달성할 수 있는데, 첫번째 메커니즘은 하천의 수량이 일정할 때 하천에 유입되는 또는 유입된 오염물질을 저감시킴으로써 수질개선을 달성하는 것이다. 즉, 유입 오염물질을 제거, 저감하기 위한 하수처리시설의 설치, 운영, 습지 조성, 하천에 유입된 쓰레기나 오염물질의 제거 노력 등을 통한 수질개선이 이에 해당한다. 두번째 메커니즘은 오염원 저감측면이 아닌 하천의 유량을 풍부하게 함으로써 수질개선을 달성하는 것이다. 즉, 일반적으로 확보되는 하천의 유량보다 더 많은 유량을 하천에 흐르게 함으로써 하천 스스로의 자정능력을 키우고 오염물질의 농도를 희석함으로써 수질을 개선하는 방법이다. 해마다 발생하는 하천의 수질오염사고시 다목적댐이나 용수댐에서 희석수를 대량 방류함으로써 수질 사고를 해결하는 경우가 이에 해당한다. 또 하나의 메커니즘은 미래의 오염원이 되는 비점오염원(축산가구, 도로 산림 등)의 소산 노력 등을 통한 적극적인 수질개선이 이에 해당한다. 하천의 수질개선은 이 세가지 메커니즘이 병행하여 작용될 때 그 효과를 최적으로 달성할 수 있다. 향후 물 관리는 빗물 - 댐 하천 - 상수도 - 하수도 - 해수 등 물 순환의 전체 체계에서 이루어져야 하고 효율적인 물 관리를 위해서는 '수량 수질의 통합관리'가 불가피하다는 점에서 물이용부담금의 수량측면에 대한 이해는 물 관리의 효율성을 높이는 중요한 요소이다.

It was proved that cold tolerance of rice plants at the young microspore stage was affected by water temperature and nitrogen application from the spikelet differentiation stage to the young microspore stage, and this mechanism could be explained in the point of view of pollen developmental physiology. The cold tolerance of rice plants at the young microspore stage was severely affected by water temperature (Previous water temperature) and nitrogen application(Previous nitrogen application) from the spikelet differentiation stage to the spikelet differentiation stage. Although the duration is only 10 days or so from the spikelet differentiation stage to the young microspore stage, these days are very important period to confirm the cold tolerance of rice plants at the young microspore stage. The higher previous water temperature up to $25^{\circ}C$ and the deeper previous water depth up to 10cm caused the more cold tolerance of rice plants. Water irrigation of 10cm before the cretical stage showed lower cool injury than that of water irrigation of 20cm during the critical stage. The preventive effect of cool injury by combined treatment of the deep water irrigation before and during the critical stage was not additive but synergistic. The cold tolerance of rice plants grown in previous heavy nitrogen level was rapidly decreased when nitrogen content of leaf blade at the young microspore stage was excessive over the critical nitrogen level. Nitrogen content of leaf blade at the changing point of cold tolerance was estimated as about 3.5% for Japonica cultivars and about 2.5% for Indica x Japonica cultuvars. It is considered that these critical nitrogen contents of leaf blade can be used as a index of the safe critical nitrogen level for the preventive practices to cool injury. It was summarized that increase of engorged pollens per anther by high previous water temperature resulted from the increase of number of differentiated microspores per anther, otherwise, the increase of engorged pollens by the decrease of previous nitrogen level was caused by the decrease of the number of aborted microspores per anther.
