This study presents the experimental results of pervious blocks subjected to a series of unique inflow conditions in urban area. The measured properties include the strength, permeability, drainage capacity and runoff, and evaporation for blocks made of two different size of aggregates. Results revealed that the strength satisfies the Korean Standard regardless of aggregate size whereas the immediate runoff occurred for the block with small size aggregate. On the other hand, the block with large aggregates allowed the drainage upon the initial inflow condition, which became hampered to induce the runoff by subsequent inflow. It was attributed to the fact that the capillary water often served as the hydraulic barrier in partially saturated condition. The salient observation indicated that the runoff highly depended on the evaporation and pre-wetting condition as well as the porosity and pore connectivity. The bilinear evaporate rate that makes the degree of saturation vary also had great influence on deterining the time-dependent runoff.

The main objective of this research was to estimate Nitrogen budget of South Korea in 2008. Input-output budgets for nitrogen fluxes were categorized into three sections: cities, agricultural area, and forest. Chemical and biological fixation, dry and wet deposition, imported food and feed were used as the nitrogen input. Crop uptake, volatilization, denitrification, leaching, runoff, and forest consumption were used as the nitrogen outputs. Annual total nitrogen input was 1,294,155 ton/yr, and output was 632,228 ton/yr. Comparison with a previous research in 2005 indicates that nitrogen input was decreased by 1.9% due to the decrease in nitrogen fertilizer while nitrogen output was decreased by 6.3%. Non-point source (NPS) pollution was also estimated by mass balance approach, which increased by 22% than the previous research in 2005. The emission of nitrous oxide ($N_2O$) caused by denitrification was newly examined in this research. About 8,289 ton/yr of $N_2O$ was released from agriculture area and domestic wastewater treatment plant.

국지성 호우의 증가로 인해 설계빈도 이상의 강우가 빈번하게 발생함에 따라 도시 지역의 내수침수피해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 국지성 호우의 영향으로 특히 하천변 및 저지대의 유출량이 증가함에 따라 기존 하수관거의 통수능 부족으로 침수피해가 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 내수침수피해 저감을 위한 다양한 노력들이 이루어지고 있으나 도시지역의 경우 노후화 된 하수관거 교체를 위한 예산이 부족하며 도시개발이 완료됨에 따라 지하저류조 등의 저류지설을 설치하기 위한 부지 확보가 어려운 실정이다. 도시 지역에서 강우의 유출은 대부분 하수관거 시설에 의해 처리되므로 하수관거 통수능 부족 시 침수피해가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 기존 하수관거와 연계할 수 있으며 설치 부지와 큰 예산이 소요되지 않는 새로운 유형의 유출저감시설을 적용할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 도로 배수시설에서 도로 표면 유출수의 수로역할을 하던 측구부를 도시지역의 상습침수 지역 및 개발지역 등 국지성 호우로 인한 내수침수 저감이 가능하며 기존 홍수방어시설에 비해 대규모의 부지와 예산이 소요되지 않는 새로운 우수저류시설을 개발하여 상습침수 지역에 개발된 저류시스템을 적용하여 측구 저류시스템의 용량에 따른 저류능력 및 내수침수 저감효과를 검토하고자 한다.

Role of the perforated pipe is to drain the water with equal pressure and velocity through the holes of perforated pipe. The perforated pipe is being used in many processes of water treatment system, however, the design parameter of perforated pipe is not standardized in korea. In this study, we have found the design parameter of perforated pipe in the water treatment system using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The uniformity of outflow from the perforated pipe is directly affected according to area ratio (gross area of holes/surface area of the perforated pipe). In other words, the uniformity of outflow is improved as area ratio is smaller. Also, at the same area ratio, the uniformity of outflow is improved as number of holes is increase. Specially, in case of the two holes per length of pipe diameter (2/D) shows the most uniformity of outflow and the best hydraulic with the smaller pressure drop. When the inlet velocity of pipe is about 0.06m/sec, the flux of pipe has decreased as from front to backward. When the inlet velocity is 3 m/s, the flux of pipe has increased as from front to backward.

The variation of hydraulic and hydrologic aspect of urban area according to the strongly seasonal variation of rainfall and the increment of urbanization has caused the runoff variation and increased the flood damage, and thus made a difficulty to manage water resources in urban area. Recently, as a part of efforts to resolve these problems, the facilities for reducing runoff increasing due to urbanization have a tendency to install in our country. In this study, more effective Infiltration-Storage System(ISS) is proposed and its reducing effect is analyzed by hydraulic experimental study. The infiltration characteristics of runoff reduction facilities are examined as varying artificial rainfall and a material of infiltration layers being able to consider the influence of urban development. As a result of comparison of infiltration rate of the upper and lower parts, the infiltration rate in the lower part is larger than that of the upper part. Thus, the ISS is more available than existing runoff reduction facilities. Results obtained in this study can be provided fundamental data for improvement of existing runoff reduction facilities and practical use of ISS.

The stormwater runoff from the increasing paved roads and vehicles resulted in the increase in the pollutants load to adjacent water bodies. The granular media filtration facilities are the most widely adopted to minimize the non-point source pollution from motorways. It is essential to consider the severe variation of hydraulic condition, suspended solid (SS) characteristics, and the medium characteristics for stormwater management filter. In this study, different types of media, including sand, were tested and the performance of downflow sand filters was investigated under various linear velocity and influent solid particle size. Results showed that the best medium is the coarse sand with large grain size, which showed the specific SS removal before clogging of more than $8.498kg/m^2$, the SS removal of higher than 95%, and minimum head loss. Linear velocity did not affect the total solid removal, while the performance was improved when fine solid was introduced. It is suggested that the life of a downflow sand filter bed can be extended by deep bed filtration when influent particles are fine. However, the captured particles can be washed out after a long period of operation.

In this paper, the experiments with installing a rainfall storage tank in the sub-surface were conducted and the reduction rates of the total runoff volume were investigated. The analysis were conducted based upon the variations of the rainfall intensity, surface coverage and surface slope. The reduction rate of the runoff volume was varied from 42.3% to 52.9% with the soil in the bank of the Seung Gi stream. In the experiments, the rainfall intensities were varied from 40mm/hr to 100mm/hr and the results indicate that the direct runoff reduction can be obtained with the installation of the rainfall storage tank in the sub-surface. The variation of the stored volume in the tank is very large in the mild slope but very small in the steep slope with over 3% slope. With this results, the reduction of the direct runoff volume for the longtime flood is expected with the installation of the rainfall storage tank in the region haying the steep slope such as the mountain area.

The anaerobic fluidized bed bioreactor (AFBR) treating synthetic wastewater to simulate domestic sewage was operated under GAC fluidization to provide high surface area for biofilm formation. Although the AFBR achieves excellent COD removal efficiency due to biological activities, concerns are still made with nutrient such as nitrogen remaining in the effluent produced by AFBR. In this study, forward osmosis membrane was applied to treat the effluent produced by AFBR to investigate removal efficiency of total nitrogen (TN) with respect to the draw solution (DS) such as NaCl and glucose. Permeability of FO membrane increased with increasing DS concentration. About 55% of TN removal efficiency was observed with the FO membrane using 1 M of NaCl of draw solution, but almost complete TN removal efficiency was achieved with 1 M of glucose of draw solution. During 24 h of filtration, there was no permeate flux decline with the FO membrane regardless of draw solution applied.

도시화에 따른 토지이용패턴의 변화로 불투수면적이 증가하여 빗물의 침투량이 감소하고, 유출량은 증가하는 등 집중호우시 침수피해를 야기하게 된다. 또한 오염원의 증가로 수질오염과 지하수고갈에 따른 건천화 등 부정적 효과를 초래하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 최근 기후변화에 따라 물순환 체계가 변화하고 있으며, 이로 인해 도시의 홍수 및 가뭄이 극심해지고 시민의 삶의 질도 위협받고 있다. 우리나라의 경우 지속적으로 도시화 및 불투수면적이 증가하고 있으며, 집중호우의 발생빈도 또한 높아 심각한 수자원 물재와 홍수피해위험이 높다. 이에 도시의 물환경 변화 및 왜곡된 물순환 체계를 지속가능하도록 개선해야 할 필요성이 제기되었다. 환경부 및 국토부 등 정부기관에서는 물환경지속가능성을 위하여 저영향개발 기술요소를 도입하고 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 침수위험지역의 저영향개발기법을 도입하여 유출저감 효과를 모의하고, 경제성 분석을 하였다. 본 연구의 대상지역은 경상남도 김해시 안동지구이며, 면적 364.2ha, 투수층면적 160.7ha, 불투수층면적 203.5ha로 불투수율은 55.90%로 산정되었다. 대상지역인 안동지구 우수관로현황 조사결과 (30년빈도 강우강도 적용) 관로의 통수능 검토시 전체관로 26.97km 중 통수능 부족관로는 15.60km로 전체대비 약 57.8%로 나타났다. 안동지구 내 우수관거는 간선관로의 경우 10년빈도, 지선관로의 경우 5년빈도로 설계, 시공되어 있으므로 각종 공단이 입지한 시가지인 안동지구는 도로포장등으로 인해 불투수층이 대부분을 차지해, 강우시 도로표면 유출수의 증대로 침수피해가 가중되는 것으로 판단되었다. 이에 저영향개발기법을 적용하여 맨홀로 유입되는 직접유출(DCIA, Directly Connected Impervious Area)를 줄이고, 유지관리 등을 고려하여 경제성을 평가하여 향후 침수위험지구 관거개량시 저영향개발기법을 활용할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

최근 기후변화로 인한 국지성 호우 빈도 및 강수량이 급증하는 등 극한강우 발생 가능성이 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 공공 기반의 유역 및 지자체별 침수 대응은 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으나, 건설 현장 대응은 이에 비해 미흡한 실정이다. 특히, 건설 현장의 경우, 예측할 수 없는 홍수 유출에 대해서도 기존 설계시 반영된 홍수 유출량과 기상청 정보에만 의존하고 있어 극한강우 발생시 취약성을 나타낼 수 있다. 특히, Top-down 현장은 개구부, 표면 작업을 위한 포장 등에 의해 지하부로 유입되는 강우량이 많고, 지하 굴착공사시 단차 및 지하수 발생으로 극한강우시 침수에 의한 수재해 발생 확률이 높다. 이를 대비하기 위해 XP-SWMM 모형을 이용하여 지상부와 지하부의 강우-유출량을 산정하고 지하부 침수를 모의하였다. 실제 Top-down 현장조사를 통해 침수 관련 인자와 XP-SWMM을 연계하여 침수모의 기법에 적용하였다. 관련 주요인자는 강우량, 현장 지상부 면적, 지상부 배수로, 지하 유입부, 지하 배수펌프 등으로 현장 조사결과 나타났다. 강우자료의 경우, 극한강우를 고려하기 위해 현장 지역의 최대 강우량, 태풍 루사와 기상청 강우의 증가 시나리오를 고려하여 모의에 적용하였다. 본 연구에서는 극한강우에 대한 Top-down 침수 모의를 수행할 수 있는 상용 모델링과 이와연관된 인자를 도출하여 침수 모의 기법을 최적화 하였다. 이러한 침수 모의를 통해 Top-Down 현장 침수심 등을 예측할 수 있다. 향후 이를 통해 지하공간이 있는 건설현장의 강우-유출 현상및 침수 모의가 가능하고, 실시간 현장별 침수 예측 모델 개발로 현장별 대피경로 및 대응방안을 제시하여 인적 피해를 최소화할 수 있을 것으로 기대할 수 있다.
