In recent, industrialization increases the level of pollution load in sea areas, and the inflows of pollutants to public sea areas cause sudden and wide-range of influence to the water quality and the ecosystem. To prepare for these kinds of unpredictable water pollution issues, the necessity is emerging to build an automatic water quality monitoring system, which can monitor and alarm the water quality changes of the subject sea areas. For the ongoing installation plan of the automatic water quality monitoring system around the Saemankeum sea area, this report compares and analyzes its installation conditions as well as the physical and chemical characteristics of the in-situ type and the water-sampling type of the automatic water quality monitoring equipments, and subjects to provide elementary data for the system installation in the Saemankeum.

As of September 2008,45 Automatic Water Quality Monitoring Systems (AWQMS) have been installed at different sites on the 4 rivers to detect early the presence of pollutants in water and to issue an alarm. We count the number of issuing alarms by AWQMS, however, we will find the alarm has hardly been issued. The reasons for the scarcity of alarm issue are extensively being examined. The National Institute of Environmental Research attributes wrong alarm criteria for each AWQMS station to one the reasons. In this study, a suggestion has been made to modify the current alarm criteria to correspond with characteristics of river water quality. The current system with only two criteria (low and high) should be replaced as four-criteria systems (low, medium, high, and severe) based on cases of other advanced countries and stream conditions of Korea. The highest value of data collected for 5 years was suggested as the alarm criteria for each parameter. Meanwhile the alarm criteria for VOCs, phenol and heavy metals were established as same as drinking water quality criteria.

대전의 도시 소하천, 관평천 유역을 연구대상지역으로 강우시의 유량 및 수질 변화 특성을 파악하기 위한 원격 제어실시간 자동 모니터링 시스템을 설치하여 자료를 확보하고 이 시스템을 이용하여 확보된 강우시 연속측정 자료를 이용하여 도시유역 모델인 SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) 모델을 보정하는 데 사용하였다. 실시간 자동 모니터링 시스템은 강우량계, 초음파 수위계, 자동수질측정장치, 자동취수장치, 데이터 로거 및 전송장치 등으로 구성되었으며 원격으로 제어할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 강우시 유량은 초음파 수위계와 사각 위어 공식을 이용하여 지속적으로 측정이 가능하도록 설계되었으며 정확도는 수동측정을 병행하여 확인하였다. 수질센서로 측정할 수 없는 항목은 자동채수기에 의해 일정시간 간격으로 시료를 채취한 후 실험실로 이송하여 분석하여 자료를 확보하였다. 위에서 실측된 유량 및 수질 연속 자료를 이용하여 연구대상지역에 대해 SWMM 모델을 구축하였다. SWMM 모델의 보정과 검증 결과 유량은 매우 양호한 수준으로 예측하고 있으나 BOD, COD, SS, TN, TP 등의 예측은 강우 특성에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 SWMM에 나타난 바와 같은 특정 유역에 고정된 형태의 오염물질 축적과 유출현상을 나타내는 경험식이 강우 및 선행강우 특성을 반영하여 수정될 필요가 있다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 빗물 자동모니터링 및 모델링 시스템은 향후 강우에 따른 하천 수질관리를 위한 유역단위의 빗물 수량 수질 관리시설의 설계 및 운영에 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study focused on the causes of fish kills and its prevention methods in Yudeung Stream, Daejeon, Korea. Intense field data, continuous water quality monitoring system and water quality modeling were applied to analyze the causes. Pollutant can be delivered to urban streams by surface runoff and combined sewer overflows in rainfall events. However, water quality analysis and water quality modeling results indicate that the abrupt fish kills in the Yudeung stream seems to be caused by combined effect of DO depletion, increase in turbidity and other toxic material. Excessive fish population in the study area may harm the aesthetic value of the stream and also has greater potential for massive fish kills. It is suggested to implement methods to reduce delivery of pollutants to the stream not only to prevent fish kills but also to keep balance of ecosystem including human uses. Frequent clean up of the urban surface and CSO, installation of detention basin will be helpful. In the long run, it seems combined sewer system has be replaced with separate sewer system for more effective pollutant removal in the urban area.

상수원 및 수계의 수질관리 업무를 효율적이고 능동적으로 수행하고, 수질오염사고 발생시 신속한 대응조치를 할 수 있는 조기경보체계 구축을 위하여 주요 상수원 및 하천 등에 수질자동측정망을 설치하여 운영하고 있다. 수온, pH, EC, DO, TOC 항목에 대한 정도평가를 실시하여, 수질자동 측정 자료에 대한 정확도를 확보하여 신뢰도를 제고하고자 하였다. 수질자동측정기기와 수동측정기기에 대한 측정값을 비교한 결과, 대체로 일반항목(수온, pH, EC, DO) 및 TOC의 상대정확도가 20% 이내의 목표를 만족하였다. 그러나 수질자동측정소의 저류수조의 측정기기(내부)와 채수지점의 측정기기(외부)의 측정값 차이를 분석한 결과, 채수거리가 먼 측정소의 DO에 대한 내부-외부의 상대정확도는 목표값을 다소 벗어나는 것으로 나타났다. 채수관로에 조류 및 미생물 부착에 의한 오염이 원인으로 판단되어 역세척하여 측정한 결과, 측정된 DO 농도는 최대 53%까지 상승하는 효과를 나타냈다. 따라서 채수관로 관리가 수질자동측정 자료의 신뢰성을 확보하는데 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

Along the 4 major rivers in korea, there are automatic water quality monitoring (AWQM) stations to immediately respond to any pollution incident. Real-time data (temperature, DO, pH, EC and TOC) collected at each station were statistically treated to exclude outliers and keep valid data using Dixon's test and Discordance test. These applied methods were compared in terms of the number of the outliers sorted out. There was no significant difference between these methods. On the other hand, more outliers were sorted out from EC and TOC data, comparing with other water quality items. EC data did not show partly any variation for a long time at H station. If measured signal does not exceed ${\pm}0.001mS/cm$ from the sectional mean, the signal should be treated as normal data. Therefore, another routine was added to the data screening system, some data which were removed as outlier were restored.

Purpose: In-situ water quality monitoring based on ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is a promising technique because ISEs can be used directly in the medium to be tested, have a compact size, and are inexpensive. However, signal drift can be a major concern with on-line management systems because continuous immersion of the ISEs in water causes electrode degradation, affecting the stability, repeatability, and selectivity over time. In this study, a computer-based nitrate monitoring system including automatic electrode rinsing and calibration was developed to measure the nitrate concentration in water samples in real-time. Methods: The capabilities of two different types of poly(vinyl chloride) membrane-based ISEs, an electrode with a liquid filling and a carbon paste-based solid state electrode, were used in the monitoring system and evaluated on their sensitivities, selectivities, and durabilities. A feasibility test for the continuous detection of nitrate ions in water using the developed system was conducted using water samples obtained from various water sources. Results: Both prepared ISEs were capable of detecting low concentrations of nitrate in solution, i.e., 0.7 mg/L $NO_3-N$. Furthermore, the electrodes have the same order of selectivity for nitrate: $NO_3{^-}{\gg}HCO_3{^-}$ > $Cl^-$ > $H_2PO_4{^-}$ > $SO{_4}^{2-}$, and maintain their sensitivity by > 40 mV/decade over a period of 90 days. Conclusions: The use of an automated ISE-based nitrate measurement system that includes automatic electrode rinsing and two-point normalization proved to be feasible in measuring $NO_3-N$ in water samples obtained from different water sources. A one-to-one relationship between the levels of $NO_3-N$ measured with the ISEs and standard analytical instruments was obtained.

In Korea, nonpoint pollutants have a significant effect on rivers' water quality, and they are discharged in very different ways depending on rainfall events. Therefore, preparing an optimal countermeasure against nonpoint pollutants requires much monitoring. The present study was conducted to help prepare a method for installing an automatic nonpoint pollutant measurement system for the cost-effective monitoring of the effect of nonpoint pollutants on rivers. In the present study, monitoring was performed at six sites of a river passing through an urban area with a basin area of $454.3km^2$. The results showed that monitoring could be performed for a relatively long time interval in the upstream and downstream regions, which are mainly comprised of forests, regardless of the rainfall amount. On the contrary, in the urban region, the monitoring had to be performed at a relatively short time interval each time when the rainfall intensity changed. This was because the flow rate was significantly dependent on the rainfall's intensity. The appropriate sites for installing an automatic measurement system were found to be a site before entering the urban region, a site after passing through the urban region, and the end of a river where the effects of nonpoint pollutant sources can be well-decided. The analysis also showed that the monitoring time should be longer for the rainfall events of a higher rainfall class and for the sites closer to the river end. This is because the rainfall runoff has a longer effect on the river. However, the effect of nonpoint pollutant sources was not significantly different between the upstream and the downstream in the cases of rainfall events over 100 mm.
