From September 1, 2003 to November 30, 2004, 20 mineral water wells were selected for some area in east Europe and the study on their water quality was analized. It revealed that mineral water contained considerable quantity of magnesium ions which helps the smooth activities of vascular muscles, nervous systems and protects skins from allergic reactions. It also lowers cholesterol level and contains high concentration of calcium ions which is one of the vital components of teeth and bone like phosphorus. Thus it is concluded that it is not qualified as boiler feed water as it has overall high degree of hardness by the presence of four times content of $Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$.

A three dimensional random walk particle tracking method is applied to the Saemangeum area in order to find stepwise environmental changes according to long term construction. Flow regime around Mangyeong, Dongjin and Geum river estuary changed greatly due to dike construction. It is distinctive that reduction of Byeonsan area's flow field and stagnant change in the northern part of the inner reservoir. Similar characteristics are found through the tidal excursion analysis. By analysis of the vertical mixing structures according to density stratification based on temperature and salinity variation, a salt wedge and very strong stratification arises in the inner part of the reservoir after final closure, while it has been well mixed or partially mixed estuary during construction. Shrinking of horizontal dispersion and vertical mixing capability may cause adverse effect on water quality not only inner part but also outer region of the Saemangeum reservoir.

Sewerage supply in rural community is the important for water quality protection of water system such as river, lake and wetland. And characteristic of small scale wastewater system that have wide range of inflow and concentration in sewage should be considered for stable operation of small scale wastewater treatment plant. In this research, characteristics of flow ratio (flow / designed flow), effect on treatment efficiency of small scale wastewater treatment plant and assessment of optimal flow ratio were conducted through analysis on operation result of 18 small scale wastewater treatment plant in Bong-hwa gun. As a result, flow ratio shows the higher value during summer. However pollutants concentration in sewage was shown the higher concentration during autumn and winter. Treatment of small scale wastewater treatment plant is increased when flow ratio increased, and nutrient treatment efficiency is more sensitive to change of flow ratio than organic compound and suspended solids. According to this research result, it need to be maintained flow ratio 0.8 over value for stable treatment efficiency of small scale wastewater treatment plant.

Recently, various development projects have occurred due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. Both industry and population grew rapidly which causes a corresponding rise in pollution. The accumulated pollutants are washed-off during rainy days, highly degrading the water quality of the receiving water body. This is because a lot of non point source (NPS) pollutants were accumulated on the surface during dry periods. This research focuses on the development of Eco-Bio Filter (EBF) system that treats NPS pollutants. It is constructed at Kongju National University campus. The EBF is a type of a structured infiltration system that falls under the category of Low Impact Development (LID) hydrologic design practices. The monitoring of rain events was performed. It includes the development of design, the lessons learned from the post-construction testing and the improvements in the renovation made. After a series of monitoring, the MOE will use the results to apply the design to other areas in the country.

In this study, we evaluated the temporal changes of water quality in the 90 reservoirs in Korea and the relationships between water quality and their environmental factors in the reservoirs for effective management of reservoirs. The majority of study reservoirs were categorized as the eutrophic state based on Carlson's trophic index. Among 90 reservoirs, more than 55.0% were nutrient-rich based on $TSI_{TP}$ in each month, where more than 50.0% were nutrient-rich based on $TSI_{Chl-a}$ from June to November. Seasonal Mann-Kendall test was used to analyze temporal variation of water quality in the selected 60 reservoirs using monthly data from 2004 to 2008. The results showed that 27 (45.0%) reservoirs showed the improvement of water quality based on TP and Chl-a concentrations, while 14 (23.3%) and 11 (18.3%) reservoirs displayed the degradation of water quality based on TP and Chl-a concentrations, respectively. Meanwhile, a self-organizing map classified the study reservoirs into five groups based on differences of hydrogeomorphology (altitude, catchment area, bank height, lake age, etc.). Physicochemical factors and land use/cover types showed clear differences among groups. Finally, hydrogeomorphology of reservoirs were related to water quality, indicating that the hydrogeomorphological characters strongly affect water quality of reservoirs.

Ultrasound technology can be applied in various fields including environmental, energy, and material engineering processes. In this study the effect of liquid height/volume on calorimetric energy and sonochemical oxidation was investigated as one of the basic steps for the design of water/wastereater treatment sonoreactors. The liquid height was increased from 0 to $4{\lambda}$ by $1/4{\lambda}$ and it was found that both calorimetric energy and sonochemical oxidation were significantly increased at relatively high liquid height/volume where the power density was relatively low. The sonochemiluminescence (SCL) images for the visualization of the activity of cavitation also showed that larger and more stable active zone was formed with high SCL intensity at high liquid height/volume. Therefore, it was revealed that sonoreactors for water/wasterwater treatment could be significantly effective in terms of removal efficiency and energy consumption.

Soil erosion by rainfall is important factor for basin management because it reduces reservoir capacity and breaks out the contamination of water caused by turbid water. Recently, soil erosion study with GIS is in progress but does not consider soil erosion source area. This study calculated soil erosion amount using GIS-based soil erosion model in Imha basin and examined soil erosion source area using SPOT 5 High-resolution satellite image and land cover map. As a result of analysis, dry field showed high-density soil erosion area and we could easily investigate source area using satellite image. Also we could examine the suitability of soil erosion area by applying field survey method in common areas such as dry field and orchard area those are difficult to confirm soil erosion source area using satellite image.

비점오염이란 도시, 도로, 농지, 산지, 공사장 등 불특정 장소에서 발생되는 오염을 말하며 건기 시에는 오염물질이 토지에 축적되었다가 강우 발생 시 강우와 함께 유출되어 관리에 많은 어려움이 있다. 유출된 오염물질은 특별한 전처리 없이 하천이나 호소로 유입되어 각종 수질오염, 부영양화 및 생활환경에 많은 영향을 받게 되며 상수원수에 문제가 발생하게 된다. 비점오염원의 특징은 초기강우 유출수는 고농도이며 토사, 협잡물 등이 많이 포함되어 있다. 초기강우 발생형태는 수로의 형태, 노면상태 유역현상 및 강우도달시간 등 유역의 특성에 따라서 달라지며, 토지이용상황, 하수도 정비여부 등에 따라서 오염물질의 종류와 농도가 변한다. 도시지역과 도로주변에는 먼지, 쓰레기, 마모된 타이어 등이 축적되며, 임야 및 산림에서는 비료, 축분, 대기오염물질의 강하물 등이 축적이 되어 강우 시 빗물에 씻겨 인근 수계로 직접 방류된다. 팔당상수원 비점오염원 최적관리사업 기본계획 및 타당성조사사업이 실시되어 비점오염저감시설의 설치대상 대표지점이 선정되었다. 그리고 각 배수구역의 특성에 맞는 최적관리기술이 제시되었다. 하지만 몇몇 시설들은 기대한 결과에 못 미치는 성과를 내고 있다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 이러한 비점오염저감시설의 시설형 중 하나인 와류형 비점오염저감시설의 운용에 따른 효율성 분석에 관한 연구를 실시하였다. 실험장치는 현재 운영되고 있는 와류형 비점오염저감시설 참고하여 실험장 조건에 맞춰 1/4축적의 정상모형을 제작하였고 저감시설로 유입되는 원수의 유량과 단차를 변화시켜 실험하였다. 저감시설의 유입조건이 변하게 되면 시설 내 유속, 체류시간 등 운전조건이 바뀌게 되므로 제거효율도 변하게 될 것이다. 저감효율산정은 시설로 유입된 유입수와 유출수의 SS농도를 이용하여 산정하였다. 와류형저감시설의 SS제거효율을 연구한 결과, 모형에서 유량 $0.0016m^3/s$, 단차 10cm 인 조건에서 8.7%로 가장 높은 효율이 측정되었다. 이를 원형에서의 조건으로 환산하면 유량 $0.0512m^3/s$, 고수조와 저감시설의 단차 40cm일 경우 가장 높은 효율이 나타난다. 이와 같은 이유는 시설에 유입되는 유량이 증가 할수록 내부의 유속이 증가해 저감시설 내 처리수의 체류시간 감소와 교란이 발생하여 저감효율이 떨어지는 것으로 사료된다.

우리나라의 하천 및 호소에 유입되는 오염물질 중 약 30% 이상이 농업(경종 축산)활동 등에 의한 비점오염원이며 특히, 축산비점오염원에 대한 관리는 관련 분야의 특징에 대한 정확한 이해를 바탕으로 국내 실정에 적합하고 현실적인 정책과 제도를 개발하여 적용하는 것이 필요하다. 실질적인 정책과 제도의 개선안 수립 적용을 위해서는 축산비점오염물질 배출에 대한 신뢰성 있는 정량화가 선행되어야 하나, 모니터링 자료가 충분하지 못하여 실측자료에 근거한 부하량 평가가 어렵고, 토지이용, 강우강도, 경사도 등에 따른 비점오염물질과 수계 유입되는 유달부하량 정량화에 대한 연구사례는 적은편이다. 따라서 국내 실정에 적합하고, 현실적으로 적용 가능한 정책 및 제도 개선안 마련을 위해서는 합리적인 오염 배출량 자료와 저감방법에 근거하여 현실적인 대안을 도출하는 연구가 필요하다. 또한 이러한 실정을 파악하기 위해서는 국내 축산 밀집지역을 대상으로 하여 강우시와 비강우시 오염물질들의 유출 특성 및 배출농도에 대한 기초자료가 필요하며 이를 토대로한 특성파악이 가장 우선시 되어야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 축산밀집지역인 정읍시 덕천면의 덕천천 유역일대를 대상으로 하여 강우시는 년 5회 비강우시는 년10회 모니터링을 통해 기초데이터를 구축하였으며 유역특성을 고려하여 총 8개 지점을 선정하여 조사하였다. 모니터링 결과 비강우시의 수질농도 평균값을 살펴보면, BOD, T-N, T-P 의 경우 모두 상류지점에서 하류로 가면서 점점 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 축사 밀집지역인 상류지역서 가장 높은 농도를 나타냈다. 강우시의 경우 하류부분에서 가장 높은 값을 보였으며 가축자원화시설이 위치한 지점부터 높아진 후 하류로 갈수록 점점 농도가 증가된다. T-N의 경우 축사와 농경지가 밀집되어 있는 포함하는 지점에서 높은 값을 기록하였으며, 유량이 많아지는 하류지점에서 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. T-P의 경우도 BOD와 마찬가지로 하류지점에서 가장 높은 값을 나타냈다.

A turbidity current in a river and a lake occurs due to diverse nutrient loading including suspended sediment in sediment runoff, which affects water withdrawal and river environments. We developed one dimensional time-variant numerical model based on Python for the Nagdonggang mainstream. We examined the numerical stability and the applicability of the model by performing the simulation of quasi-steady flow in non-flooding for three cases, which are different according to the point and the amount of turbidity inflows in the Nagdonggang upstream and a tributary. The result was reasonable in the respect of the conservation of matter. The model will facilitate to simulate a large river if we can secure the data of turbidity variations in a target river reach or measured points in a field.
