Most sewage treatment plants located offshore are discharged to the shore either directly or through rivers. Therefore, the water quality of the treated water discharged from the sewage treatment plant affects the water quality of the river water discharged to the river and the ocean. In this study, field surveys and numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the effect of treated water from the sewage treatment plant adjacent to the coastal environment. As a result of analyzing the water quality and sediment quality with the samples collected from the river and the estuary where the treated water was discharged to understand the impact on the coast, the treated water discharged from the sewage treatment plant was discharged to the river without exceeding the design criteria. However, the water quality discharged to the shore through estuaries was more contaminated than treated water. The cause of water quality deterioration of coastal effluent is due to the sedimentation of estuary temporarily by longshore sediment sransport which appeared around the estuary, the occurrence of estuary obstruction, and the increase of stagnant time in the estuary. As it was released and discharged, it was analyzed to affect the water quality, water quality and marine life around the estuary. Therefore, in the case of the east coast where the longshore sediment transport is strong, when planning the sewage treatment facility discharged to the ocean, it is necessary to closely examine the water quality change of the river water in the treated water such as the river mouth occlusion by the longshore sediment transport.

The Nakdong Delta can be identified by two different geomorphic units. The first one is the upper delta. This is mostly composed of inter-distributary islands that are largely influenced by fluvial processes and attributed to the development of these islands along the river. The other one is the lower delta which is mostly composed of beach ridges. Barrier islands are largely effected by wave processes promoted by the development almost at a right angle to the river. Influenced by the longshore current which flows to the same direction, barrier islands located in the Nakdong river estuary are developing from east to west direction. As a result, the eastern end of the barrier islands are growing toward the north-west direction effected by tidal current which moves toward the same direction. Barrier islands include the Sinho Island, the Jinwoo Island, the Daema deung, the Janga Island, the Baghap deung, the Sae deung, and the Chulsae deung(Doyeo deung). They have orderly emerged from the sea since 1861. Since 2008, a new Deung, a sand dune growing under sea, has been developing rapidly from Chulsae deung to the Dadaepo beach. It made the sailing of small fisher boats impossible. Tidal currents transported a lot of sand and silt around the barrier islands. The landscape of Nakdong river estuary where many barrier islands are distributed will change rapidly affecting land environment.

서해연안 중에서 근년에 공사가 가장 활발하게 진행되는 곳이 금강하구일 것이다. 금강하구는 하구둑의 수문이 닫히기 전까지 금강으로부터 유사 공급으로 퇴적환경이 지배적이어 군산항으로 입출항하는 선박의 주운 수심을 확보하기 위하여 주기적으로 준설을 실시해야만 했었다. 그러나 1994년 8월의 금강하구둑 수문의 닫음과 하구에 축조중인 북측도류제 및 남측도류제와 군장국가공단 조성사업 군산지구 개발에 따른 호안 축조 및 새만금 4호방조제 건설 등의 영향으로 금강하구 일대해역의 흐름이 급격히 변화되었고 이로 인한 퇴적환경의 변화가 불가피한 해역이다.

The Geomorphological properties and ages of river-mouth bar at Song-cheon River in the East Coast of Korea, Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongbuk Province are estimated, and the long-term and short-term changing processes and causes are analyzed. Sand grains of the bar near the coastline show the finer trends from south to north and these can be attributed to the northward movement of waves and long-shore currents. The absolute ages of bar and nearby coastal sand dune are less than approximately 100 years ago, indicating that the bar has experienced the active geomorphological changes. While the inlet located at south part of the bar between 1971 and 1995, the inlet has located at north or middle part since 1995. These may caused by the changes of movement directions of waves and long-shore currents due to the apparent northward movements of winds and currents. In short-term, the higher elevation, larger area, simpler landform relief and more variable location of inlet and morphology of bar can be observed between September and March due to the dominance of sedimentary processes by wave and wind processes.

Macrobenthic fauna in three Keum-Mankyung-Dongjin Estuaries and their nieghbouring coastal region in the west coast of Korea were sampled as 39 stations with van Veen grab to describe the distribution patterns of macrobenthos. Total 61 taxa from 10 faunal taxonomic groups and 5,636 individuals were collected. Abundance, species number, and faunal composition varied among three estuaries and coastal region. Dominant species from estuaries were similar to each other, but different from those of coastal region. Dominant species in estuarine regions were Prionospio cirrifera, potamocorbula amurensis. Nephtys californiensis, Glycera chiron and Glycinde sp, those from coastal area were Mactra chinensis. Magelona japonica, Owenia fusiformis. Anaitides Korean and Nephtys polybranchia. Two most dominant species in estuaries, Potamocorbula amanuensis and Prionospio cirrifer were not found elsewhere in Korean waters. The patchy distribution of dominant species and low species richness were reflected in the low species diversity Filter feeders were a major component in estuaries. High proportion of carnivores and low percentage of subsurface deposit feeders seemed to be a typical trophic composition in the study area. the distribution pattern of macrobenthos was related with the salinity and sediment types.

하천의 하구에서는 해수의 흐름에 따른 연안토사의 이동과 하천유황에 따른 상류에서의 토사량에 따라 하상이 변화한다. 특히 하구부에서의 퇴적토사 증가는 하천의 수질변화와 어도단절 등으로 인해 하천환경에 악영향을 끼칠 수 있는 하구폐쇄를 발생시킬 수 있어 이에 따른 모니터링이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 동해안으로 유출되는 지방 1급 하천인 가곡천과 호산천을 대상으로 하구부 퇴적토사의 변화를 모니터링 하였다. 하상변화의 모니터링은 최신장비인 지상 LiDAR를 이용하여 다시기로 스캔한 지상 LiDAR 측정자료를 활용하여 퇴적량을 산출하고 퇴적과 침식의 변화양상을 분석하였다. 분석결과 퇴적지점과 침식지점 및 이에 대한 체적량 변화를 정밀하게 확인할 수 있었다. 지상 LiDAR를 활용한 하상변화 분석기법은 정밀한 퇴적량 추이를 빠르게 관찰할 수 있어 하구지역 뿐만 아니라 하천 전반에서의 하상변화를 조사하는 데에 있어 활용도가 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Estuary sand bar of Namdaecheon Stream is located in Yangyang-gun, Gangwon-do in Korea. This unique place is situated between end of Namdaecheon Stream and East Sea. It is an important environment area of the global ecosystem from the transition zone of land and marine environments by forming a variety of coastal circumstance. Some endemic species should be protected which is appearing in the Namdaecheon Stream because of preservation for future generations. Especially, the salmon return to this stream as adults in order to breed which is more than 70 % of the salmon in Korea peninsular. The monitoring of estuary sand bar is need to analyze ecological environment and sustainable development with time. First of all we represents a different shape of estuary sand bar of Namdaecheon Stream from 1984 to 2015 using Landsat satellite imagery series. Particularly movement of the "tidal inlet" is most important factor to investigate the condition of the change for estuary sand bar. The location of tidal inlet is compared with precipitation, height of tide and oceanic current data according to time variation.

Since terrestrial input plays a major role in coastal primary production, an understanding of land-ocean coupling (LOC) is key to understand coastal ecological changes. In this study, the LOC has been classified into three stages (i.e., the baseflow, plume event and residual flow). In order to characterize its pattern in Nakdong River estuary, multi-platform data were obtained from remote sensing (geostationary ocean color image (GOCI)), in-situ measurement (marine environment information system (MEIS)), on-site measurement (discharge data and meteorological data). The MEIS data were grouped into three stages of LOC using principal component analysis (PCA), and the LOC (2013 ~ 2018) was examined at each stage using multi-platform data. In the Nakdong River estuary, the maximum value of chlorophyll-a (chl-a) was unexpectedly appeared during the plume event. It is assumed that there was no significant increase in turbidity, expected during the typical plume event, together with the weak flushing effect, caused the enhanced phytoplankton growth. Compared with other estuaries, LOC is common in estuaries affected by freshwater inflow, but LOC has different pattern depending on the size of the plume. While estuaries that form small plumes of about 10 km (low freshwater discharge and weak flushing effect) observed high chl-a in the plume event because the phytoplankton can response to the increased nutrient more rapidly. estuaries that form large plumes of more than 100 km est (high freshwater discharge and strong flushing effect) follow the typical LOC pattern conceptualized in this study (high chl-a in the residual flow).
