A localized torrential rainfall and flash floods which are more frequently occurred by extraordinary atmospheric phenomena and rising sea surface temperature require more hydrological data collecting and analysis for small watershed. Urban watershed hydrological data monitoring system is needed because of big flood potential damage and lack of urban watershed hydrological data. Therefore, Urban Flood Disaster Management Research Center operates small experimental catchments(Sinnae1, Gunja, and Children's Park) observing and analyzing hydrological data(rainfall, stage, and discharge). In this study, the discharge of combined sewage for Gunja experimental drainage is analyzed with weekly data and day of the week data. Through several analyses in analyzing the urban runoff characteristics and managing the urban sewage system, direct runoff is calibrated and verified by the estimated values of rainfall-runoff model(SWMM).

Sewage separation which often involves installing a new pipe to separate wastewater flow from stormwater runoff flow can be costly and depends highly on its feasibility in a site. To be able to develop a potentially more economical alternative that can also lessen major road traffic disturbance during this process, a different approach where a smaller sewage separator pipe is installed inside an existing combined sewer pipe was investigated. A small-scale of a box sewer and the proposed sewage separator pipe was constructed in the laboratory to observe and compare the deposition of solids and other solid-associated major pollutants at different flow rates. In addition, three-dimensional flow simulations considering five different scenarios were conducted using Ansys Fluent to observe the effect of the proposed sewage separator pipe to the hydraulic flow if installed inside the combined sewer pipe. Results revealed that the deposition of TSS, TCOD, TN, and TP were reduced by at least 60% when the wastewater was conveyed by the sewage separator pipe instead of the combined sewer pipe. Moreover, the flow simulations conducted showed that there was little to no major disturbance in hydraulic flow and velocity distribution when the sewage separator was installed inside a straight pipe and even at pipe transitions such as intersections, turns, and drop in elevation. Considering the pipe dimensions and the results of the study, the proposed approach can be promising in terms of reduction in pollutant deposition without a major effect on the hydraulic flow. Further investigation and cost-analysis should be done in the future to support these preliminary findings and help alleviate the problems caused by combined sewer overflows by introducing an alternative approach.

A water quality modeling study was performed for Chunggye stream during combined sewer overflow(CSO) period, utilizing the diagnostic system for water management in small watershed, CREEK-1(Cyber River for Environment and Economy in Korea). This system integrated geogaphic information system, data base, landscape ecological model(FRAGSTATS), watershed model(SWMM), water quality model (WASP5), and computer graphic. In this study, the watershed model and water quality model were extensively utilized so as to simulate water qualities and flow in Chunggye stream during wet periods. The Chunggye stream watershed was divided into 18 sub-basins in the watershed model and the stream reach into 11 segments in the water quality model. The watershed model was validated against field measurements of BOD, TN, TP, and flow at the downstream location, where the model results showed a reasonable agreement with the field measurements at all parameters. From this study, it was shown that the stream water quality would change along with elapsed time from rainfall start as well as rainfall intensity. The model results indicated that the water quality would significantly upgrade due to the first flush and high sewage ratio of CSO at the beginning of rainfall event, but become degraded along with the runoff increase due to dilution effect.

The inflow of nonpoint pollution sources due to sustainable development and urbanization is gradually increasing and causes a diversity of water pollution. There are lots of difficulties to find a solution as the problems related to variation of hydrological and natural phenomenon. A differentiated method to estimate the nonpoint pollution sources has been proposed using rainfall and characteristics of urbanization and observed data from sewage treatment districts in the study. The types of nonpoint pollution sources on an assumption of combined sewer system have been classified as three types which are inflow of rainfall, bypass of sewage treatments, and combined sewer overflows from a river. Three types for estimation of nonpoint pollution sources applied more accurately to generate a amount of nonpoint pollution loads. This study is expecting a wide application for effective water resource management on TMDL (total maximum delivery load) unit watershed and sewage treatment districts.

엘리뇨, 라니냐 등의 기상 이변과 해수 온도 상승으로 인해 더욱 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 국지성 집중 호우 및 돌발홍수는 각 유역 특성별 수문 기초자료의 축적 및 분석을 더욱 필요로 하게 되었다. 또한, 수문자료는 시간과 공간에 따른 큰 변동성을 가지고 있어 규명하기 복잡한 수문현상으로 산악지역이 많은 우리나라의 지형학적 특성과 최근의 호우특성 등으로 인하여 이러한 변동성이 더욱 커지고 있다. 특히 홍수시 큰 피해를 가져오는 도시지역의 수문 모니터링이 부족한 실정을 고려한다면 도시하천별, 소배수구역별 수문 관측 및 자료 분석이 절실하다. 우리나라 주거지역의 토지이용 형태를 반영하는 과학적이고 체계적인 도시하천 수문 모니터링시스템 운영 및 자료 축적, 제공이 필요하다. "도시홍수재해관리기술연구사업단"에서는 도시하천 유역의 수문현상 규명을 위한 기초 정보 축적을 위해 중랑천 유역에 시험배수구역(신내1 배수구역, 군자 배수구역, 어린이대공원 배수구역)을 운영하여 수문 관측 및 자료 분석을 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 합류식 하수관거를 통해 유출되는 유량자료를 주간별, 요일별로 분석하여 일일 하수량의 경향을 분석하였다. 주로 상가지역 및 주택지역으로 구성되어 있는 군자 배수구역을 대상으로 하였다. 이를 통해 도시하수 유출의 특성 분석이 가능하며 하수관거 관리 대책 수립에 유용한 자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

A pilot scale coagulation system, which has a function of physicochemical treatment, was developed to treat Combined sewer overflows(CSOs). This coagulation system requires evaluation of optimum design factors whether it has reflected those of lab scale system, moreover, the pilot scale system can be evaluated differently according to the characteristics of influent CSOs even though it has reflected lab scale's design factors. We conducted an experiment using lab scale system that could treat $1m^3$ of CSOs in a day, and also pilot-scale system with $100m^3/day$ CSOs flowed into the Cheongju sewage treatment plant. Therefore the aim of this study is to evaluate a hydraulic similarity between the design factors of pilot scale and those of lab scale coagulation system, and to evaluate feasibility of the coagulation system for the CSOs treatment with optimum operation conditions. From the result of pilot-test, we drew the optimum operation factors of in line mixer and flocculator having similarities with those of lab scale system as well as the optimum coagulant dose. Finally we confirmed that the coagulation system has feasibility to treat the CSOs with high removal efficiency.

Energy loss at manholes, often exceeding friction loss of pipes under surcharged flow, is considered as one of the major causes of inundation in urban area. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze head losses at manholes, especially in case of surcharged flow. Hydraulic experimental apparatus which can change the manhole shape (square, circular) were installed for this study. In the experiments, two inflows ($Q_1,\;Q_2$) were varied from 0 to $4{\ell}$/sec and 15 combinations were tested in total. The flow ratios $Q_2/Q_3$ were varied from 0 to 1 for a total flow $Q_3$ ($Q_3=Q_1+Q_3$) of 2, 3, and $4{\ell}$/sec, respectively. The variation of head losses were strongly influenced by the lateral inflow because the head loss coefficient increases as the flow ratio $Q_2/Q_3$ increases. There was no significant difference of head loss between square manhole and circular one, and also no large variation of head loss as discharges change. The relation equations between K and $Q_2/Q_3$ were suggested in this paper.

Sewer rehabilitation is performed to improve the problem for urban drainage sewer system recently. However the data for the sewer system is not stored enough so that the sewer system is difficult to be managed systematically. In this study, a maintenance management system for urban drainage system is developed to store the data efficiently and manage the system systematically. In the developed system, a hydraulic and hydrologic analysis module is included to test the carrying capacity of a sewer pipe and estimate the amount of combined sewer overflows. The I/I and superannuation evaluation module is included in this system. The module distribute the total inflow/infiltration observed at the several sampling points in a drainage area to the individual pipes of the entire sewer system. Then the superannuation of a sewer pipe is evaluated according to the amount of I/I of the pipe. And in the developed system, the optimal rehabilitation priority module is included to determine the optimal priority and support the decision making for the sewer rehabilitation. The maintenance management system which is developed in this study is constructed by the association with the developed modules and the system is formed as graphical user interface system.

Many researches has been conducted as extreme rainfall in hydrology and extreme rainfall analysis is not proper for determination of CSOs treatment capacity. In this study, runoff is calculated by tranformation from rainfall to runoff according to Interevent Time Definition. The capacity of sewage treatment plant is designed by 3 times of DWF(Dry Weather Flow) and the efficiency of present sewage treatment plant is very low becauseat at present. Also, The sewage treatment plant can not control CSOs. In this research, the pollution load is calculated by EMC(Event Mean Concentration) and pollution concetration of total runoff is a standard deciding suitablility of present sewage treatment plant. Finally, CSOs treatment capacity is determinated considering pollution load.

비점오염의 특성에 대해 지속적으로 연구 중이지만 수문특성과 연관성이 크다 보니 그 일관성에 대해 확실한 기법이 개발되지 않았다. 기법 개발과 효과적인 오염원 관리를 위해 SWMM 등의 모형을 활용하고 있지만 투입된 노력과 시간에 비해 그 효율성이 매우 적은 편이다. 이런 부분을 보완하고자 본 논문에서는 기존의 비점오염량 산정방법이 아니라 낙동강유역의 도시화 특성 및 수문/기상자료와 처리장 운영자료를 활용한 차별화된 원단위법을 통해 비점 배출 부하량 산정방법을 제시하려고 한다. 배수구역 내 관거 시스템을 합류식으로 가정하였고 배수구역별 비점 발생형태는 하수처리장의 강우 유입량, 하수처리장의 우회유량(Bypass 유량), 하수처리구역의 CSO 유량 3가지로 구분 지었다. 유입 방류자료와 강우자료를 활용하여 임계강우량을 3mm로 설정하여 3mm이상일 경우에 우회유량이 발생한다고 가정하였고 우회유량 발생시 오염부하량 산정은 건기평균유량에 유량변동부하율을 곱하여 시간최대유량으로 전환한 후 강우 지속기간 동안만 우회유량이 발생하는 것으로 가정하였다. CSO 유량은 처리구역/배수구역 면적비에 따라 3개의 그룹으로 구분한 뒤 검증된 SWMM-온천천 모형의 각 소유역별 불투수면적비와 비교하여 유사한 소유역을 각 그룹의 대표유역으로 선정하였다. 선정된 소유역의 CSO 유량과 수문현상의 비선형적인 관계를 고려할 수 있는 신경망 기법을 적용하여 강우특성에 따른 CSO 오염부하량 산정을 실시하였다. 산정결과를 바탕으로 각 하수처리장별 비점저감 기여율을 산정한 결과 대구북부 처리장에서 21.56%로 가장 높은 효율을 보여줬으며 거창가조 지점에서 0.11%로 가장 낮은 효율을 보여주는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 낙동강유역 내 위치한 하수처리장의 효율성에 대해 알 수 있으며 개선되어야 할 처리장들을 알 수 있었다. 또한 획일화된 방법이 아닌 차별화된 원단위법을 통한 오염부하량 산정은 앞으로의 연구방향에 있어서 좋은 사례가 될 것으로 사료된다.
