In this study we predicted some of the negative effects on the ocean ecosystem and water quality, caused by a coastal reclamation project in semi-closed bay that makes it extremely difficult to be purified by natural process. In order to predict change of water quality triggered by coastal reclamation, the 3D hydrodynamic model and material cycle model are used. And we suggested new ecological park, an artificial beach and eco-friendly revetments on the reclamation area to mitigate the environmental impacts affecting this area using the numerical simulation results and observation data.

In order to investigate water quality of coastal waters, samples were collected from the six coastal areas of Korean peninsula during summer of 1977, and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The results showed no significant heavy metal pollution in most parts of the studied areas in comparison with results of other countries in literature. However, strong possibility of some specific heavy metal pollution is shown in the specific areas, such as Cu and Pb in the Sea off Cunsan, Pb in Kwangyang Bay and Cd and Pb in Ulsan Bay.

해수소통을 전제한 경우 새만금호 내측의 염분변화가 만경강의 평수량 및 홍수량 유입에 따라 혼합확산되는 것을 평가하고 배수갑문 방류시 담수가 외해에 미치는 영향범위를 평가하기 위한 수치모형실험이 실시되었다. 이때 새만금호 내부의 관리수위는 DL=-1.5m, DL=-0.5m, DL=-0.0m, DL=+0.5m가 고려되었다. 외해역의 평가는 새만금을 포함한 전체해역에 대해 외해경계에서 4개의 주요분조($M_2,S_2,K_1,O_1$)의 진폭과 위상각을 대입하고 2차원 ADCIRC 및 3차원 TIDE3D 모형을 적용하였다. 내부는 여기에 3개 연직층을 고려한 3차원 ICM 모델이 추가 적용되었다. 내부의 혼합확산 평가 결과는 시간이 지남에 따라 외해에서 유입되는 염수가 상대적으로 저염인 담수호 내부로 유입 확산되는 것이 평면적으로나 연직방향으로 변화되는 것을 매우 뚜렷하게 나타남을 알 수 있고, 최소 1개월 이상 경과되어야 만경호측에 외해수가 혼합되는 것으로 분석된다. 수문을 개방하지 않은 상태에서 새만금 방조제 외해의 최강창낙조시 조류속도는 0.5-0.6m/s 정도에 해당되는 것으로 분석되었다. 신시갑문을 개방하는 경우 관리수위가 DL=-1.5m와 DL=+0.5m로 변함에 따라 갑문 전면 10Km-l3Km에 이르는 해역까지 수문개방에 따라 0.5m/s의 유속이 형성된다. 가력갑문을 개방하는 경우는 신시갑문의 개방에 따른 영향보다는 작지만 갑문 전면 14Km까지 0.5m/s의 강한 유동이 관리수위별로 나타나고 있다. 이러한 결과는 담수 방류로 인한 영향이 주기적으로 낙조시에 발생되어 새만금 방조제 전면의 해수순환과 유동에 적지 않은 영향을 미칠 개연성을 제시하는 것으로 해석된다.$\cdot$유출에 의한 수질변화양상을 단계적으로 구분하여 수질변화에 중요한 영향을 미치는 인자에 대한 이론적인 분석을 수행하고, 배수갑문 개방에 의한 수질개선효과를 최대화하기 위한 환경관리 방안 제시에 중점을 두어 수행하였다.ncy), 환경성(environmental feasibility) 등을 정성적으로(qualitatively) 파악하여 실현가능한 대안을 선정하였다. 이렇게 선정된 대안들은 중유역별로 검토하여 효과가 있을 것으로 판단되는 대안들을 제시하는 예비타당성(Prefeasibility) 계획을 수립하였다. 이렇게 제시된 계획은 향후 과학적인 분석(세부평가방법)을 통해 대안을 평가하고 구체적인 타당성(feasibility) 계획을 수립하는데 토대가 될 것이다.{0.11R(mm)}(r^2=0.69)$로 나타났다. 이는 토양의 투수특성에 따라 강우량 증가에 비례하여 점증하는 침투수와 구분되는 현상이었다. 경사와 토양이 같은 조건에서 나지의 경우 역시 $Ro_{B10}(mm)=20.3e^{0.08R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $10\% 경사일 때를 기준으로 $Ro(mm)=Ro_{10}{\times}0.797{\times}e^{-0.021s(\%)}$로 나타났다.천성 승모판 폐쇄 부전등을 초래하는 심

In coastal region, eutrophication, Do deficit and red tide are frequently occurred by influx of fresh water. When the fresh water containing pollutants is discharged into the sea, the surrounding water is contaminated by dispersion of freshwater flowing into coastal waters. The prediction and analysis about the dispersion process of the discharged fresh water should be conducted. A modeling system using GUI was developed to simulate hydrodynamic flow and fresh water dispersion in coastal waters and to analyze the results efficiently. The modeling module of the system includes a tide model using a finite element method and a fresh water dispersion model using a particle-tracking method. This system was applied to predict the tidal currents and fresh water dispersion in Mokpo coastal zone. To verify accuracy of the hydrodynamic model, the simulation results were compared with observed sea level and time variations of tidal currents showing a good agreement. The fresh water dispersion was verified with observed salinity distribution. The dispersion model also was verified with analytic solutions with advection-diffusion problems in 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional simple domain. The system is operated on GUI environment, to ease the model handling such as inputting data and displaying results. Therefore, anyone can use the system conveniently and observe easily and accurately the simulation results by using graphic functions included in the system. This system can be used widely to decrease the environmental disaster induced by inflow of fresh water into coastal waters.

Hydrogeochemistry of deep geothermal water (temperature: $42.2-47.9^{\circ}C$) at Heunghae, Pohang was evaluated using core logging, temperature and electrical conductivity (EC) logging before and after pumping tests, chemical analysis of geothermal water with depth, and observation of water quality variations during pumping tests. The geology of the area is composed of highly fractured marine sedimentary rocks. The hydrogeochemistry of geothermal water varies with drilling depth, distance from the coast, and pumping duration. According to the temperature and EC variations during 4 times of pumping tests, main aquifer of the area is considered as the fractured zones (540 to 900 m) developed in rhyolitic rocks. The high content of Na and $HCO_3$ in geothermal water can be explained by the inflow of deep groundwater from inland regulated by dissolution of silicates and carbonates. High TDS, Na and Cl concentrations indicate that the geothermal water was also strongly affected by seawater. The molar ratios of Na:Cl ($0.88{\sim}2.14$) and Br:Cl ($21.0{\sim}24.9{\times}10^{-4}$) deviate from those of seawater (0.84 and $34.7{\times}10^{-4}$, respectively), suggesting that water-rock interaction also plays an important role in the formation of water quality.

Surf clam, Mactra veneriformis, is a important shellfish produced in south-western coast of Korea. But it's ready to be contaminated and have sand in flesh because it mainly inhabit in silt at tHe inside of coastal area. We determined optimum conditions for the sand elimination and microbial depuration in the shellfish harvested from western coast of Korea. It was found that the most effective conditions of process water for the sand elimination were $23^{\circ}C$, $32.9-35.0\%_{\circ}$ salinity and pH $7.9\~9.0.\;A$ surf clam contained about 210 mg of sand whose $94\%$ was eliminated after 24 hours in natural sea water ($32.9\%_{\circ}$ , pH 7.9) controlled at $23^{\circ}C$. To eliminate both sand and microorganisms contaminated in surf clam, the process water should be run during at least 36 hours for the former and 24 hours for the latter at 150 L/minute/$m^3$of shellfish, when its volume was above 4,000 L/$m^3$ of shellfish in 2 tons of tank.

This study was conducted to see the effect of maintaining the freshness of mackerel caught offshore, through the chemical analysis method in seawater slurry ice(SS), sea water cube ice(SC), tap water slurry ice(TS) and tap water cube ice(TC). Among each ice mass, bacteria were below the drinking water standard and ammonia nitrogen was over the threshold of 11 mg/l in sea water. The turbidity of the seawater was severe compared to that of fresh water. Proximate compositions showed 72.7% moisture content, 20.5% protein, 5.25% lipid, and 1.3% ash content. Sea slurry ice was kept low in pH compared with fresh water ice. VBN increases were inhibited in all reservoirs at the beginning of the storage. Generally Sea ice was kept lower VBN value than the fresh water ice.

High-saline ground water, whose eclectrical conductivity value ranges from 12,000 to 21,000 $\mu$S/cm, occurs at the small catchment of Gilsan stream near Geum-river estuary dike. These high-saline ground water comes form three different aquifers consisting of two horizons of sand sediments and one weathered zone with top part of unconformity. For these three aquifers showing mutual independence in terms of hydrogeological and hydrogeochemical connection, we examined characteristics of aqifer occurrences and their water chemistry, and observed and analyzed the fluctuations of the ground water level and electrical conductivity. Our study results indicate that the high-saline characteristics of ground water in this study area should not come from dynamic recent seawater intrusion, but might be due to the fossil saline water included and isolated within the paleo-sediments or weathered zone and their upper unconformity part. This high-saline water seems to be now partially mixed and affected by freshwater in the higher inland reach of Gilsan stream.

The biodegradability in water of the artificial baits for blue crab pots which were made of intestines of mackerel, tuna and grinded krill were studied. The biodegradability of artificial bait was evaluated with the effective capacity of 10L water tank which was made of acryl pipe at the velocity of 1m/d and hydraulic retention time of 12 hours. For the 23 days operation time, all artificial baits were degraded fast at the early stage of operation time and stabilized within 5 days after start up. The rates of biodegradation were different depending on the raw materials of artificial baits. In terms of degradation rate of organic matter which can be expressed as COD, artificial bait made of tunas intestine showed the fastest degradation rate. On the other hand, in terms of degradation rate of nitrogenous matter which can be expressed as ammonia nitrogen, artificial bait made of mackerels intestine showed the fastest degradation rate. In order to evaluate the effect of artificial bait on marine ecosystem, seawater qualities including SS, COD, DO, nitrogen, phosphorus were determined depending on depth and location during 2 days test operation period. It is apparent that the effect of artificial bait on seawater quality was negligible when comparing seawater quality of test operation area with control area.
