Soil moisture monitoring is an important task to cope with climate change, and soil water prediction can provide large-scale soil moisture information. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the measured and predicted soil water content, and to estimate the correlation between the soil characteristics and soil water content. The selected sites in soil moisture monitoring network were 76, and the soil with high sand content (sand, loamy sand, and sandy loam in soil texture) accounted for 77% of the total. Organic matter and bulk density were 0.03 to 3.50% and 1.01 to 1.69 Mg m^-3, respectively. Predicting values of field capacity and wilting point were lower than the measured soil water content, and the correlation coefficient between the measured and predicted values were low as 0.548 to 0.748. However, a significantly high positive correlation (p<0.01) found between the measured and predicted soil water content. Soil water (field water capacity and wilting point) content was highly positively correlated with silt, clay, and organic matter (p<0.01) and highly negatively correlated with sand (p<0.01).

We analyzed hydrologic time-series data obtained from a fractured aquifer in Wonju and a porous shallow aquifer in Uiwang area. Auto-correlation, spectral density, and cross-correlation functions were used for the analyses. Water level at a shallow well in Wonju was weakly auto-correlated and it was sensitive to direct infiltration from rainfall through soil zone while that at a well screened in the fractured zone showed a relative stability to an outer stress (rainfall), which was derived from a delayed transmission of recharge stress through a fracture network from a remote area. Characteristics of time-series data in Uiwang area were similar to those in the fractured zone in Wonju. This was caused by a regional recharge from a distant area rather than a direct infiltration. This study demonstrated a usefulness of time series analyses for identification of recharge mechanism.

This study was performed to evaluate effects of pH and heavy metals on soil pollution in 167 sites of Gangwon-do. The overall pH range of soils was 4.3~8.4 The average soil pollution of Cd was 0.089 mg/kg (0.000~3.493 mg/kg), Cu 3.093 mg/kg (0.078~60.263 mg/kg), Pb 4.74 mg/kg (0.01~38.08 mg/kg), Hg 0.054 mg/kg (0.002~1.050 mg/kg), and As 0.971 mg/kg (0.031~77.051 mg/kg), but $Cr^{6+}$ was not detected in these soils. The average concentration of heavy metals in these soils was acceptable under the preliminary standard of soil preservation acts in Korea.

본 연구에서는 지하수위 변동 분석을 위한 프로그램을 개발하고, 건설교통부에서 설치, 운영하고 있는 169개 국가 지하수 관측소의 264개 지하수관측정에서 측정된 지하수위자료에 적용하였다. 분석결과 암반대수층과 충적층대수층의 평균수위 및 변동양상이 대체적으로 비슷하게 나타났으며, 이는 관측소 설치 지역의 대부분에서 충적층(10m 내외)과 암반층(70m 내외)이 수리적으로 연결되어 있다는 것을 시사한다. 6시간 간격의 지하수위 관측 자료를 이용하여 지하수위가 상승하는 횟수, 상승량의 합계 산정 등 변동양상을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 해양 및 지구 조석의 영향을 받는 관측정의 경우 지하수위 상승 개수가 450개/yr 이상이 대부분이며, 수위 변동량은 0.1 ～ 1m 정도이고, 수위변동 자료를 시계열로 나타내 보면 하루에 약 2번의 상승과 하강을 반복하는 수위변동 형태를 볼 수 있었다. 양수의 영향이 우세한 관측정에서는 수위 상승 개수가 약 360개/yr, 수위 변동량은 1m 이상의 값이 우세하게 나타났다. 지하수위 상승량은 암반/충적 관측정 모든 관측정에서 전반적으로 강수량과의 상관계수가 높았으며, 같은 관측정의 .자료라도 6시간 간격의 관측 자료보다, 12시간 및 24시간 관측 간격으로 분석한 결과에서 상관관계가 더 높게 나타났다. 12시간 및 24시간 관측 간격으로 분석할 경우 조석 및 양수에 의해 발생된 주기적인 지하수위 변동 성분이 제거되면서 강수에 대한 지하수위 반응의 상관도가 높아진 것으로 해석된다.

This study analyzed the groundwater quality according to the depth and geological features in Gyeongsangnam-do area using groundwater quality monitoring network data to grasp the groundwater quality characteristics and to provide basic data for policy making on efficient groundwater management. Five hundred and three data sets were acquired from background water quality exclusive monitoring network in soil groundwater information system for five years (2013 ~ 2017). Except for the total coliforms and tracer items such as mercury, phenol, and others, the parameters of water quality were significant or very significant, depending on depth and geological features. As the depth got deeper, the average value of pH and electrical conductivity increased; water temperature, dissolved oxygen, oxide reduction potential, arsenic, total coliforms, and turbidity decreased; and total unfit rate for drinking water standards was lower. It was found that the sum of the positive and negative ions was the highest in the clastic sedimentary rock and the lowest in metamorphic rock. The total unfit rate for drinking water standards was the highest for metamorphic rocks, followed by clastic sedimentary rock and unconsolidated sediments and, finally, intrusive igneous rock with the lowest penetration. The Na-Cl water type, which indicated the possibility of contamination by external pollutants, appeared only at some points in shallow depths and in clastic sedimentary rocks.

지구 온난화로 인한 기후변화로 점차 가속됨에 따라 이로 인한 수자원 관리의 취약성이 증가되고 있는 전망이다. 물수지 순환에서 지하수와 증발산은 수자원 총량에서 많은 부분을 차지하고 있는 인자로써, 두 인자의 정량적인 분석은 지표와 대기 시스템의 분석에서 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 지구의 담수 중 약 30%를 차지하고 있는 것이 지하수로써 이는 토양의 수원으로도 작용할 수 있으며, 특히 지하수면이 토양과 가까울수록 토양수분에 상당한 영향을 미칠 뿐만 아니라 증발산의 변동성과도 밀접하게 연결되어 있다. 지하수위 및 수문인자의 변화는 지하수를 활용하는 농업 및 수자원 관리와도 연계되어 있으므로 지하수와 증발산의 연관성에 대한 정량적인 변화의 비교/분석이 필수적이다. 또한 식생의 종류에 따른 지하수 및 증발산의 거동이 달라지게 됨으로 이에 대한 영향 또한 고려해야 한다. 그러나 지하수와 증발산의 직접적인 관계를 규명하는 선행연구가 아직 미흡하며, 국내 수자원분야에서의 두 인자간의 직접적인 연관성에 대하여 밝힌 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 플럭스 타워 관측 지점 중 다른 지표 특성 및 식생 조건을 가진 지역을 선정하여 각 다른 특성의 관측 지점에서의 분석을 실시하고자 한다. 관측된 수문기상인자인 증발산, 강수량과 관측 지점에서 가장 가까운 지하수 측정망으로부터 획득된 지하수 자료를 활용하여 각 인자들 사이의 연관성을 비교/분석을 실시하여 수문순환에서의 이들 간의 영향 정도를 파악할 예정이다.

This study suggests a method to grade groundwater quality quantitatively using statistical approaches for evaluating the quality of groundwater in wells included in the Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network (GQMN). The proposed analysis method is applied to GQMN data from 2001 to 2008 for nitrate nitrogen, chloride, trichloroethylene, potential of hydrogen (pH), and electrical conductivity. The analysis results are obtained as groundwater quality grades of the groundwater representing each of the monitoring stations. The degree of groundwater contamination is analysed for water quality parameters, district, and usage. The results show that the degree of groundwater contamination is relatively high by nitrate nitrogen, bacteria and electrical conductivity and at Seoul, Incheon, Gwangju, Gyeonggido and Jeollado. The degree of contamination by nitrate nitrogen and trichloroethylene is especially high when the groundwater is used for agricultural and industrial water, respectively. It is evaluated that potable groudnwater in GQMN is significantly vulnerable to nitrate nitrogen and bacteria contamination.

In Korea, groundwater quality is monitored through National Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network (NGQMN) administered by Ministry of Environment. For a given contaminant, compliance to groundwater quality standards is assessed on a annual basis by monitoring the number of incidents that concentration exceeds the regulatory limit. However, this approach provides only a fractional information about groundwater quality degradation, and more crucial information such as location and severity of the contamination cannot be obtained. For better groundwater quality management on a watershed, a more spatially informative and intuitive method is required. This study presents two statistical methods to convert point-wise monitoring data into information on groundwater quality status of a watershed by using a proposed grading scale. The proposed grading system is based on readily available reference standards that classify the water quality into 4 grades. The methods were evaluated with NO₃^-, Cl^-, and total coliform data in Geum River basin. The analyses revealed that groundwater in most watersheds of Geum River basin is good for domestic or/and drinking with no treatment. But, there was notable quality degradation in Bunam seawall and So-oak downstream standard watersheds contaminated by NO₃^- and Cl^-, respectively.

The objectives of this paper are to overview present status of soil pollution in Korea, to review the current policies and management strategies for soil pollution prevention and remediation of contaminated sites, and to suggest some recommendations to be considered toward more efficient policies. Soils in Korea are contaminated mainly by industrial facilities, landfills, underground storage tanks, abandoned/inactive mines, military camps, and other sources. Concentrations of most of soil pollutants were similar to the background levels, except for a few heavily contaminated sites such as industrial sites or abandoned/inactive mines. The Soil Environment Conservation Act (SECA), which was effective from 1995, provides a comprehensive legal framework for both preventing soil pollution and remedying contaminated sites in Korea. The Act includes various management policies such as the designation of standards and soil pollution policy area, soil monitoring networks, management of suspected contamination sources, and extended 'polluter-pays' principle. To make current policies more efficient and reasonable, some policies or strategies such as the establishment of national priority list, more detailed standards, risk-based cleanup goal, fund raise, soil erosion problem, and finally, integrity between soil and groundwater management frameworks may need to be pursued in the long term.
