This study was conducted to investigate the effects of fertigation level such as 50%, 75% and 100% N of standard amount of chemical fertilizer,m and fertigation interval such as every irrigation, intervals of 1 and 2 weeks of piggery waste water(PWW) on the growth, yield of red pepper plant and the chemical properties of soil used. In early stage, growth of red pepper plant fertigated with PWW and that of red pepper plant applicated standard chemical fertilezer was the same, while it were increased as increasing application amounts of PWW, and later growth and total yield of red pepper plant were much more at 75% N fertigation of PWW. Inorganic content such as nitrogen, phosphate and potassium and chlorophyll content of red pepper leaves were increased as increasing fergigation amount of PWW. 50% fertigation level showed the lowest rate of fruit setting of red peper plant. For soil chemical properties, pH was slightly decreased, but available $P_2O_5$, and exchangeable K content were increased as increasing fertigation amount of PWW. Because there was not statistically significant difference in the growth, the yield of red pepper and chemical properties of soil used according to various fertigation intervals, and no need to artificially supply PWW, therefore fertigation by simple automatic system with tensiometer was thought to be better.

This study was conducted to develop the fertigation system with a peristaltic hose pump and brushless DC motor. The fertigation system was consisted of sensor, main controller, motor control unit, peristaltic pump, water supply pump, control panel, and filter. The peristaltic pump discharges liquid by squeezing the tube with rollers. Rollers attached to the external circumference of the rotor compresses the flexible tube. The fluid is contained within a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. The developed fertigation system has no mixing tank but instead injects directly a concentrated nutrient solution into a water supply pipe. The revolution speed of the peristaltic pump is controlled by PWM (Pulse width modulation) method. When the revolution speed of the peristaltic pump was 300rpm, the flow rate of the 3.2, 4.8, 6.3mm diameter tube was 202, 530, 857mL/min, respectively. As increasing revolution speed, the flow rate of the peristaltic pump linearly increased. As the inner diameter of a tube larger, a slope of graph is more steep. Flow rate of three roller was more than that of four roller. Flow rate of a norprene tube with good restoring force was more than that of a pharmed tube. As EC sensor probe was installed in direct piping in comparison with bypass piping showed good performance. After starting the system, it took 16~17 seconds to stabilize EC. The maximum value of EC was 1.44~1.7dS/m at a setting value of 1.4dS/m. The developed fertigation system showed ±0.06dS/m deviation from the setting value of EC. In field test, Cucumber plants generally showed good growth. From these findings, this fertigation system can be appropriately suitable for fertigation culture for crops.

The solar powered water pump is very ideal equipment because solar power is more intensive when the water is more needed in summer and it is very helpful in the rural area, in which the electrical power is not available. The average so]ar radiation energy is 3.488 kWh/($m^2{\cdot}day$) in Korea. In this study, the automatic control logic and system of the water pump driven by the radiation energy were studied, designed, assembled, tested and analyzed for realizing the solar powered water pump. The experimental system was operated automatically and the cycle was continued. The average quantity of the water pumped per cycle was about 5,320 cc. The cycle time was about 4.9 minutes. The thermal efficiency of the system was about $0.030\%$. The pressure level of the n-pentane vapour in flash tank was 150$\%$450 hPa(gauge) which was set by the computer program for the control of the vapour supply. The pressure in the condenser and air tank during cycles was maintained as about 600 hPa and 1,200 hPa respectively. The water could be pumped by the amount of 128kg/($m^2{\cdot}day$) with the efficiency of $0.1\%$ and the pumping head of 10 m for the average solar energy in Korea.

기존 농업용저수지는 농업용수 공급이라는 단일한 목적으로 비교적 간단하게 운영되어왔다. 그러나 둑높이기사업 후 기존 농업용수를 공급함과 동시에 하천유지용수를 연중 공급해야 하기 때문에 경험적 물관리로는 갈수기간 동안의 물관리 및 홍수기 동안의 저수율 조정 문제를 해결할 수 없다. 따라서 기왕의 경험적 용수공급에서 탈피하고 가이드라인에 의한 공급이 이루어져야 용수목적별 공급이 원활하게 이루어질 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 물수지 분석 등 기술적으로 분석해야하는 과정을 종합하여 관리자가 쉽게 운영할 수 있도록 의사지원체계가 구축되어야 한다. 본 연구는 둑높임저수지 운영데이터를 구축하고 저수지 운영곡선을 프로그램화 하여 현장 계측데이터를 연계한 물관리 의사지원 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템은 지리정보시스템을 기반으로 작성되었으며, 운영물수지 프로그램이 모듈로 구축되어 농업용수와 하천유지용수 등 용수목적별로 월별 공급량을 계획하여 운영자 및 유관기관에게 제공하는데 있다. 기존 설계용량산정 프로그램을 기반으로 운영에 필요한 운영 물수지분석 모델을 개발하였으며, 이를 기반으로 둑높임저수지의 일부 사업지구에 대한 운영곡선을 프로그램화 하였다. 시스템 개발은 분석에 필요한 정보를 DB화하고, 이를 활용한 운영물수지분석, 운영곡선 모의 등을 수행할 수 있도록 구축되었다. 물관리 센터-현장을 연계하여 운영할 수 있는 의사지원 모듈 즉, 센터에서 운영기준과 운영계획량을 수립(모의)하고, 이에 따라 조견표, 개도율로 현장을 운영할 수 있도록 단순화하였다. 추가적으로 스마트 단말기를 통해 홍수기 업무지원이 가능토록 기능을 구현하였다. 본 시스템은 가이드라인에 의한 농업용저수지 운영관리라는 관점에서 유일한 시스템으로 유역별 환경변화 인자와 현장운영 경험치를 적용한 첫 번째 사례이다. 또한 관행적 물관리에서 탈피하여 과학적 수자원 관리로 국가 물관리 정책수립에 필요한 의사결정지원에 활용될 예정이다.

국내 수자원 시스템은 이수 관련 기준과 이를 평가할 수 있는 지표 및 방법, 지침이 미흡한 실정으로 관련 시설물의 안정성과 형평성에 대한 문제가 제기되어 왔다. 농업용 저수지의 경우 한발 시 관개용수를 공급할 수 있는 내한능력, 기존 설계기준에 의한 물수지법에 따른 저수지의 설계한발빈도를 대체 사용하여 이수안전도를 산정하고 있으며, 설계한발빈도인 10년 한발빈도는 10년에 1회 정도의 갈수를 기준으로 한다. 농업용 저수지의 축조년도는 1940-1970년대로 약 86%가 축조된 지 50년 이상 경과하였고, 대부분 설계 한발빈도가 10년 이하로 축조되었으나 최근 발생하고 있는 기후변화, 용수관리 환경 변화, 수요량의 변화, 설계한발빈도 변화 등으로 현시점의 이수안전도 파악이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 국가물관리기본계획에서 준용하고 있는 신뢰도 관련 이수안전도 기준인 이수안전율과 공급신뢰율을 활용하여 농업용 저수지의 이수안전도를 산정하고 기존 농업용 저수지의 이수안전도 기준인 10년 한발빈도와 비교함으로써, 농업용 저수지 이수안전도 산정기준의 적정성을 평가하고자 한다. 신뢰도 기준은 장기간 계획기간 동안 저수지의 용수부족이 얼마나 발생하는가에 대한 평가 방법으로 이수안전율은 최대 부족량과 수요량으로 산정가능한 양적기준 신뢰도이며, 공급신뢰율은 물공급부족기간으로 산정가능한 시간기준 신뢰도이다. 신뢰도 기준에 의한 방법은 저수지 모의 운영을 통한 물수지 분석을 실시하여 산정이 가능하며, 물수지 분석을 위해 한국농어촌공사에서 개발한 수리수문설계시스템 (K-HAS, Hydraulics & Hydrology Analysis System)을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 농업용 저수지의 이수관리 계획 수립 및 내한능력 평가 등 국가수자원정책의 지표로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, a waste heat recovery system was devised and the performances of components incorporated to recover the heat generated during the processing of aerobic liquid-composting in a livestock manure treatment facility were analyzed. In addition, the availability of recovered heat was confirmed. The heat generated by liquid fermentation in the livestock manure treatment facility was also checked. Experimental temperatures were set at 35, 40, and 45 ℃ based on considerations of the uniformity of aerobic liquid-composting fermentation tank temperature and its operating range (34.5 ~ 43.9 ℃). Recovered heat energies from the combined heat exchanger, which consisted of PE and STS pipes, were 53.5, 65.6, 74.4 MJ/h, The heat pump of capacity 5 RT was heated at 95.6, 96.1, 98.9 MJ/h and the heating COPs of the pump were 4.53, 4.62, and 4.65, respectively. The maximum hot water production capacity of the heat exchanger assuming a fermentation tank temperature of 45 ℃ confirmed an energy supply of 56 360 kcal/day. The heating capacity of the FCU linked to the heat storage tank was 20.8 MJ/h, and the energy utilization efficiency was 96.1%. When livestock manure was dried using the FCU, it was confirmed that the initial function rate was reduced by 50.5 to 45.8 % after drying.

Two nozzles with different size (Figure 2) were particularly designed to supply air through the swirl core into the central part of the liquid stream in the same parallel direction to produce a well-mixed air and water in the whirl chamber as spray liquid in bubble formation. Atomization was attempted to improve by using both the preliminary break-up process with less viscosity and less surface tension in the whirl chamber and the effects of increased frequency of the band of drops with the raised ambient air density in front of the nozzle orifice. The volumetric ratio between spray liquid and air on four levels was used to investigate the effects of air as a component of the mixture on atomization. The results of the experiment were summarized as follows; Droplet size became progressively finer as the operating pressure was increased in the range of $0.70kg/cm^2$ to $6.33kg/cm^2$, which was similar to the previous works. The new atomizing mechanism so-called 'air-center nozzle' gave a narrower range in droplet size distribution with smaller volumetric median diameter (VMD) than that of the existing spray system at a given pressure, which showed the possibility of improvement of atomization in a certain limit. The volumetric median diameter produced by the new atomizing mechanism was decreased from the central region toward the exterior edges across the spray pattern.

This study was conducted to analyse climate change impact on agriculture infrastructure and propose improved measures on vulnerable areas. Recently, Climate change has resulted in damaging effects on agricultural fields through increases in drought intensity and flood risk. It is expected that this impact will increase over time. This study shows that Gyeong-gi and Chung-nam provinces are affected by drought and Gyeong-buk and Gyeong-nam provinces are affected by heavy rain. However, there are also regional variations within each province. Agricultural infrastructure affected by drought may also be affected by heavy rain. Increased damages on the infrastructure due to increased extreme weather events require preventive measures especially in vulnerable areas. In order to minimize the damage by climate change, we need to introduce a reform in the system which selects project region by analysing climate change impacts. Furthermore, impact assessment of climate change from projects such as 'water supply diversification', 'flooded farmland improvement', and 'irrigation facility reinforcement' also need to be adopted to improve the measures. The results of this study are expected to provide a foundation for establishing measures on coping with climate change in the agricultural sector.

This paper reviews the future directions and perspectives on the soil environmental researches in the 21 century. Previously, the principal emphasis of soil environmental researches had put on the enhancement of food and fiber productions. Beside the basic function of soil, however, the societal needs on soil resources in the 21st century have demands for several environmental and social challenges, occurring regionally or globally. Typical global issues with which soil science should deal include food security with increasing agronomic production to meet the exploding world population growth, adaptation and mitigation of climate change, increase of the carbon sequestration, supply of the biomass and bioenergy, securing the water resource and quality, protection of environmental pollution, enhancing the biodiversity and ecosystem health, and developing the sustainable farming/cropping system that improve the use efficiency of water and agricultural resources. These challenges can be solved through the sustainable crop production intensification (SCPI) or plant welfare concept in which soil plays a key role in solving the abovementioned global issues. Through implementation of either concept, soil science can fulfill the goal of the modern agriculture which is the sustainable production of crops while maintaining or enhancing the ecosystem function, quality and health. Therefore, directions of the future soil environmental researches should lie on valuing soil as an ecosystem services, translating research across both temporal and spatial scales, sharing and using data already available for other purposes, incorporating existing and new technologies from other disciplines, collaborating across discipline, and translating soil research into information for stakeholders and end users. Through the outcomes of these approaches, soil can enhance the productivity from the same confined land, increase profitability, conserve natural resource, reduce the negative impact on environment, enhance human nutrition and health, and enhance natural capital and the flow of ecosystem services. Soil is the central dogma, final frontier and new engine for the era of sustainability development in the $21^{st}$ century and thus soil environmental researches should be carried according to this main theme.
