We drew the stage-discharge relations of Byeokgye Stream, located in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and analysed the correlation between items of water pollutants by measuring the flow rate and water pollutants thirty-four times from April 2010 to December 2010. The results showed that it tended to be low water season from April to June and from October and December, while tending to be water season from July to September. The average flow rate was $2.137\;m^3/sec:\;0.464\;m^3/sec$ in low water season and $13.970\;m^3/sec$ in high water season. The stage-discharge curve thereon was $Q=40.107{\times}(h-1.200)^{2.877}$. As to the correlations, the correlation between the water temperature and COD was 0.58, and the correlations of SS with BOD and COD were 0.46 and 0.40 respectively. The correlation between SS and T-P was 0.73, showing higher than other items.

댐은 하천의 흐름을 막아 그 저수를 생활 및 공업용수, 농업용수, 발전, 홍수조절, 특정용도로 이용하기 위한 구조물을 일컫는다. 여러 가지 용도로 만든 댐의 저수지에는 상류에서 들어오는 유사가 저수지 바닥에 가라앉아 쌓이게 되는데 이를 저수지 퇴사(reservoir sedimentation)라 하며, 이는 저수지 유효 용량을 감소시키고 홍수시 유입 하천의 홍수위를 상승 및 저수지 수질을 악화시키는 등의 문제를 일으킨다. 저수지를 관리함에 있어 저수지로 유입되어 바닥에 가라앉는 퇴사량을 분석하고 저수용량과 수면적의 감소율을 예측하는 것은 효율적인 저수지 장기운영에서 매우 중요한 사항이다. 본 연구에서 향후 저수지로 유입되는 일유출량의 예측을 위해 과거 1987~2011년(25년)의 충주 댐 일유입량($m^3/s$) 자료를 단순반복시켜 향후 50년 동안의 일유량($m^3/s$)을 산정하였고, 일단위 모의가 가능한 유역단위의 분포형 장기 강우-유출모형인 SWAT를 이용하여 산정된 일유량($m^3/s$) 자료를 비교 평가하여 모형의 검증을 실시하였다. 유량-유사량 관계곡선을 이용하여 분석 대상 기간 동안의 총유사량을 구할 수 있으며, 한강유역조사(2002)에서 유도한 충주댐 상류 정선지점의 유량-유사량 관계식으로부터 향후 50년의 일유량($m^3/s$) 자료를 이용하여 총유사량를 산정하였다. 또한, 경험적 면적감소법을 이용하여 임의의 기간에 대한 실측치와 모의치 각각에 대한 퇴사분포 및 퇴사량을 산정 및 평가하였다. 이를 통해 효율적인 용수관리를 위한 저수지 퇴사관리 방안의 시기별 도출이 가능하였다.

2011년 4대강 다기능보 설치에 따라 배수영향을 받는 구간은 기존의 측정방법으로는 유량측정이 어려워 보 구간별로 자동유량측정시설을 설치하여 실시간으로 유량을 생산하고 있다. 하지만 현재 수질개선 및 하천 자연화를 위해 보 운영수위를 저하시켰다. 이에 수위 저하에 따른 측정영역 한계로 정상적인 운영에 어려움이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 합천창녕보 영향 구간 내 합천군(율지교), 합천군(적포교) 지점을 대상으로 상하류 유량관계를 활용하여 결측 및 오측자료를 보완하고자 한다. 대상지점은 2018년 수문개방에 따른 수위저하로 인한 결측과 부유물에 걸림에 의한 유속자료 오측으로 자료의 보완이 필요하였다. 이로 인해 자료 보완을 위하여 각 지점의 환산유량을 이용하여 경향성 검토를 하였으며, 상하류 환산유량과 검보정 측정성과와의 관계를 활용한 관계식을 개발하여 유량을 산정하였다. 산정된 유량과 검보정 측정결과 상관도(R2)는 0.95 이상으로 나타나 매우 합리적으로 판단되나 수문조작 시에 일부 편차는 보인다는 결과를 나타냈다. 단기적인 자료보완은 품질관리를 통해 다양한 방법으로 가능하지만 상하류 유량관계를 활용한 방법이 장기적인 자료를 보완하는 방법으로 적절하다고 판단된다. 향후 보완방법을 다른 보 구간의 지점에도 적용하여 보 수위저하에 따른 시설물 개선공사가 진행되는 동안 실시간 유량자료의 제공으로 연속적인 유량자료 생산이 가능하도록 하고자 한다.

This study reported on the phytoplankton community and seasonal changes in the Seoul passage section and downstream in the Han River in 2012. Field samples were collected monthly from the upper (Paldang), middle (Cheongdam), and downstream(Seongsan) areas of the Seoul passage section. Water temperature, DO, pH, and conductivity were measured at each station. All environmental factors measured were recorded similarly at the three stations. The water temperature ranged from 2 to 30℃ and the dissolved oxygen ranged from 4.8 to 9.1 mg L^-1, showing typical patterns of temperate regions. The phytoplankton cell concentrations ranged from 990 cells mL^-1 (Paldang, December) to 2.9×10⁴ cells mL^-1 (Seongsan, March), and the chlorophyll-a content showed similar patterns to the cell numbers. The phytoplankton community was comprised of 75 genera and 95 species, including 37 diatoms, 29 Chlorophyta, 11 cyanobacteria, and two dinoflagellates. The number of species that appeared seasonally varied greatly, from nine species (Paldang, May) to 35 species (Cheongdam, December). Diatoms were the most dominant in all stations and seasons, except in summer. In contrast, chlorophytes and cyanobacteria showed sporadic high numbers in the summer and fall seasons. Four diatoms Stephanodiscus hantzschii f. tenuis, S. hantzschii, Fragilaria sp., and Aulacoseira spp., a chlorophyte Actinastrum hantzschii, and a cyanobacterium Microcystis sp. were each present in proportions greater than 10%. This study provides fundamental data from phytoplankton communities and environmental factors in the Han River for understanding water quality for long-term environmental monitoring.

In a study on THMs formation at the distribution facilities in Seoul water supply for past 3 years from 2007 to 2009, THMs production was increased from inlet to outlet during the process in water treatment plant. However, such increased THMs amount was very small compared to THMs production formed after pre-chlorination and post chlorination. Accordingly, this study is aimed to investigate the characteristics of water quality parameters of Han River related to THMs formation in 6 water treatment plants in Seoul. The results showed that THMs and other factors such as temperature (r = 0.539~0.846) and turbidity (r = 0.421~0.863) had positive correlation while THMs had negative correlation with pH (r = -0.613~-0.800) and algae (r = -0.582~-0.901). There is no correlation between THMs and $NH_3-N$. According to the factor analysis, generally metabolite and organic matter factor $X_1$ (pH, BOD, algae), and seasonal and natural factor $X_2$ (temperature, turbidity) played an important role in the formation of THMs. Multiple regression analysis for THMs formation showed significance of regression appeared in most water systems.

Vinyl chloride (VC) is a known human carcinogen, and it is released to multi-environmental media via several exposure routes. VC was potentially evaluated as a water quality pollutant based on human health risk assessment in Korean water environments. In this study, we investigated physicochemical and toxicological properties of VC, human health and ecological risk assessment, and the regulation of VC as a water quality pollutant in developed countries. Currently there are no standard or guideline values of VC in Korean legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem, except that it is designated as a specific toxic substance and a water quality pollutant. Human health risk assessment of VC was previously performed based on the limited water quality monitoring data. The monitoring level of VC in Korean water system is more higher than other countries'. VC was assessed as potential hazardous chemical based on the US EPA's cancer risk assessment. There were a few ecotoxicity data of VC available using very limited kinds of aquatic organisms, and the toxicity results obtained seem to be overestimated without considering the losses of VC in open exposure system. Therefore it is needed to monitor the VC in various areas and to carry out the ecotoxicity research using multi-level organisms. We expect that these results can be useful information for implementing VC as a water quality pollutant in legal system for the protection of human health and aquatic ecosystem in near future.

Long-term changes of the fish fauna and its community structure from the Jungrang Creek of the Han River system in Seoul were investigeted from 1990 to 2000. Total species occurred during the survey period were 14 species in 6 families, and total individual number was 108,366. Fishes at the Jungrang Creek had not been distributed in the 1980s and 1990 because of heavy water pollution as well as environmental damage in the riparian areas. However, Cyprinus carpio and Carassius auratus in cyprinidae were rehabitated since the early 1990s when the water quality was improved because of foundation of sewage division pipe. Species nombers gradually increased to 6 species in 1996, 9 species in 1998, and 11 species in 2000. Individual numbers rapidly increased to 164 individuals in 1996, 146 individuals in 1998, and 108,094 individuals in 2000. A large number of Cyprinus carpio and Carassius auratus, which are abundantly distributed in the main course of the Han River, were found when they migrate to the upper reaches of the Jungrang Creek for spawning. Mass fish floatings were occurred on the 21st of April and the 11th of June in 2000 due to DO depletion at the lower site (Site 4) of discharging point of Jungrang sewage treatment plant and stagnant spot(Site 3) of dammed pool. Major dominant species were Cyprinus carpio and Carassius auratus (Cyprinidae). Others dominant species were Pseudorasbora lab대 (Cyprinidae) and Silurus asotus (Siluridae). Dominance indices were relatively high (0.79 to 1.00). Species diversity andrichness indices were relatively low (0 to 1.66and 0 to 1.41, respectively). Species diversity and richness indices were slightly higher at the middle reaches (Site 2 and Site 3) than the upper reaches and the mouth of the Jungrang Creek. However, the fish fauna of the Jungrang Creek was very poor and its community structure was very simple.
