The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely used in hydrology and sediment simulation worldwide. In most cases, the SWAT model is first calibrated with adjustments in model parameters, and then the validation is performed. However, very little study regarding the effects on SWAT estimation of subwatershed delineation was performed. Thus, the SWAT model was applied to the Doam-dam watershed with various threshold values in subwatershed delineation in this study to examine the effects on the number of subwatershed delineated on SWAT estimation. It was found the flow effect of subwatershed delineation is negligible. However there were huge variations in SWAT estimated sediment, T-N, and T-P values with the use of various threshold value in watershed delineation. Sometimes these variations due to watershed delineation are beyond the effects of parameter adjustment in model calibration and validation. The SWAT is a semi-distributed modeling system, thus, the subwatershed characteristics are assumed to be the same for all Hydrologic Response Unit (HRU) within that subwatershed. This assumption leads to variations in the SWAT estimated sediment and nutrient output values. Therefore, it is strongly recommended the SWAT users need to use the HUR specific slope length and slope value in model runs, instead of using the slope and the corresponding slope length of the subawatershed to exclude the effects of the number of subwatershed delineated on the SWAT estimation.

To establish a comprehensive management strategy, as part of the optimization of cultural practice for an oyster rack culture system, we used a numerical model to estimate the primary production in the waters on the eastern coast of Wando island, South Korea. The estimated primary production ranged from 17.12 to $1052.55mgC\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$ ($204.22{\pm}224.75mgC\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$ in average). Except for the times of peak phytoplankton blooms, the estimated primary production (PP) was consistently under $200mgC\;m^{-2}day^{-1}$, which is more similar to the value of PP measured off the western coast of South Korea than the southern coast. No clear relationship was observed between nitrogen content and rainfall with the exception of heavy rainfall events, indicating that precipitation might not be the main source of nutrients in these waters. No clear influence was observed from Doam tidal discharge, located 24 km north from these waters due to main tide comes in this area from the channel between Gunwe-myeon in Wando island and Pukpyeong-myeon in Haenam-gun. Because of the shallow water depth and strong tidal current, resuspension of sediments, which causes an input of nitrogen into the system, could be easily caused by even mild wind and the infrequent passing of ships. Microscopic examination of the phytoplankton composition showed additional contribution of benthic species such as Paralia sulcata into the waters, which increase the productivity of oyster farms in the waters. The availability of nitrate and phosphate for primary production was temporarily limited throughout most of the spring and autumn blooming season.

Simgok Seowon is the commemorative shrine and academy established for scholar Jo Gwangjo (pen name : Jeongam). The shrine (sangnyangsik) and the east and west dormitories (Dongjae and Seojae) were built in 1636. The lecture hall, Imsimnu Pavilion, Sananggak and Munhyanggak buildings were built successively. Simgok Seowon is the only one that survived through the abolishment of seowon ordered by Regent Heungseon in the 19th century. The original seowon was renowned as a representative example showing the typical lecture hall in front and dormitory at the back (jeondanghujae) layout of the Giho School built in 1650. Two archaeological excavations were conducted in the lecture hall courtyard in 2004 and 2007~2008, which prompted debates the position of the dormitories in respect to the lecture hall, whether the dormitories should be placed in front, or at the back of the lecture hall. Simgok Seowon had been long known as a representative example of the lecture hall in front layout, but the excavations revealed contrasting evidence, suggesting the possibility for a dormitories in front layout. Recent studies and evidence show that the architecture of Simgok Seowon can be grouped into three phases. The first phase was when the shrine and both dormitories were built to the rear of the lecture hall, the second phase was when the lecture hall, Imsimnu Pavilion, Sananggak and Munhyanggak buildings were built, and lastly the third phase when the east, west dormitories were reconstructed in front of the lecture hall. The large scale construction of Simgok Seowon is related to the education based management of the academy by Doam Yi Jae, and the 17~18th century remains confirmed from the archaeological excavations are evidence of this. Remains for Imsimnu Pavilion, Sananggak, and Munhyanggak buildings have yet to be confirmed, and spaces to the south and east of the seowon are unidentified. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct investigations and research for the unexcavated spaces of the seowon, to conduct in-depth studies and for the effective adaptive re-use of the seowon.

This paper presents the first results of dissolved arsenic in the Kangnung Namdae stream. The distribution of As concentrations measured in 28 August (high water flow) and in 21 November 1997 (low water flow) differs from those of other metals measured during the same period; The concentrations of Doam-dam are lower than those of Obong-dam and accumulation in the downstream in the period of low water flow is not pronounced. The As concentration in the downstream under the low water flow is lower than under high water flow, reciprocally to other metals. Freshwater concentrations are comparable with those measured in pristine river and lower than the world average and the diffrence of concentrations measured during two period is minute. Therefore, the As concentrations in the Namdae stream are background level and the source of As contamination does not exist. In the mixing zone between the freshwater and Donghae seawater, As behave conservatively, indicating the absence of any significant removal or mobilization processes. A first estimation of total dissolved As input from Namdae stream to Donghae coastal sea shows 65.12 kg/yr.

국내 기후 특성상 하절기에 집중되는 강우로 인해 댐의 건설이 홍수조절, 용수확보 및 전력생산 등의 목적에 있어서 불가피하다. 이와 같은 저수지와 하류하천은 댐 수문 개폐에 따른 흐름변화로 인하여 수체의 거동 및 수질 변화가 발생하며, 일반적인 하천과는 다른 특성을 지니게 된다. 또한 수심이 깊은 저수지의 경우에는 흐름 방향과 더불어 수심 방향의 특성도 중요하며, 수리 및 수질 모형의 연계를 통한 3차원적인 해석을 필요로 한다. 본 연구 대상인 도암댐은 송천유역에 위치하며, 1989년에 유역변경을 통한 발전용 댐으로 건설되었으나 방류수에 영향을 받는 남대천의 수질이 악화되면서 운영이 중단되었고, 이후 댐 방류수는 그대로 송천으로 흘러 보냄으로써 송천 하류부의 수질에 악영향을 미치고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 하천과 하천 사이 호소가 포함된 유역 단위를 통합적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템 구축이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 도암댐 유역의 통합탁수관리시스템을 구축하기 위하여 유역모형과 호소모형을 연계하였으며, 호소내 흐름은 수평방향 뿐만 아니라 수심방향을 통합적으로 해석하기 위해 수리모형과 수질모형을 연계하였다. 또한 호소에 적합한 모형을 선정하고, 호소를 포함한 유역의 영향을 파악해보기 위해 소유역 단위의 모의를 하고자 하였다. 크게 상류유역과 호소 구간으로 나누어 상류유역은 유역모형인 SWAT을 이용하고, 이 결과를 호소 부분의 유입 경계조건으로 적용하여 호소의 수리 및 수질모형인 EFDC-WASP의 연계를 통해 통합수질관리시스템을 구축하였고, 현장 조사결과를 이용하여 시스템의 적합성에 대해 검토하였다.

최근 들어 집중호우 및 토지이용 변화로 인한 고탁수 문제가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이러한 탁수 및 수질오염 문제를 해결하기 위해 환경부는 비점오염원 관리지역을 선정하였으며, Best Management Pratices(BMPs), Low Impact Development(LID) 등 다양한 저감 대책을 시행하고 있다. 비점오염원의 발생원인과 발생위치를 정확하게 증명할 수 없으므로 유역 내 수문 및 수질을 모의할 수 있는 Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT) 모델이 다양한 비점오염원 연구에 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 SWAT 모델은 Hydrologic Response Unit(HRU)의 경사도와 경사장을 산정할 때 소유역 내 평균 경사도를 이용하여 토양유실량 및 유출특성을 모의에 필요한 매개변수들을 산정한다는 한계점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 SWAT 모형의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 실제 경작지를 기준으로 HRU를 생성하고, 실측 경사도와 경사장을 적용하기 위한 기술을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 기술을 고탁수로 인해 비점오염원 관리지역으로 지정된 도암호 유역에 적용하여 실측 경사도와 경사장을 적용하여 모의한 유출량과 기존의 SWAT 모델을 통해 모의한 유출량을 비교 분석하였다. 기존 모델의 결과와 본 연구에서 개발한 기술을 적용하여 모의한 결과를 비교하였을 때 수문 컴포넌트 중 중간유출과 기저유출에 있어서 차이가 발생한 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구에서 개발된 기술을 적용함으로써 도암호 유역에서 비교적 정확한 토양유실과 Suspended Solids(SS) 모의 결과를 나타냈다. 하지만 본 연구는 도암호 유역만을 대상으로 수행되었기 때문에 다른 비점오염 관리지역에 확대 적용하여 본 연구의 결과를 재검토할 필요가 있다.

In recent years, soil erosion has come to be regarded as an essential environmental problem in human life. Soil erosion causes various on- and off-site problems such as ecosystem destruction, decreased agricultural productivity, increased riverbed deposition, and deterioration of water quality in streams. To solve these problems caused by soil erosion, it is necessary to quantify where, when, how much soil erosion occurs. Empirical erosion models such as the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) family models have been widely used to make spatially distributed soil erosion vulnerability maps. Even if the models detect vulnerable sites relatively well by utilizing big data related to climate, geography, geology, land use, etc. within study domains, they do not adequately describe the physical process of soil erosion on the ground surface caused by rainfall or overland flow. In other words, such models remain powerful tools to distinguish erosion-prone areas at the macro scale but physics-based models are necessary to better analyze soil erosion and deposition and eroded particle transport. In this study, the physics-based Surface Soil Erosion Model (SSEM) was upgraded based on field survey information to produce sediment yield at the watershed scale. The modified model (hereafter MoSE) adopted new algorithms on rainfall kinematic energy and surface flow transport capacity to simulate soil erosion more reliably. For model validation, we applied the model to the Doam dam watershed in Gangwon-do and compared the simulation results with the USLE outputs. The results showed that the revised physics-based soil erosion model provided more improved and reliable simulation results than the USLE in terms of the spatial distribution of soil erosion and deposition.

This study was conducted to select the restoration priority of forest damage sites in Gangwon Province. We first identified the status of damaged areas. We then selected restoration evaluation indicators through a literature review. We then set weights for these indicators through expert surveys. We next acquired data that can represent these indicators and spatially mapped them. Finally, we prioritized the restoration target sites by taking the weights. The results of the study showed that disaster sensitivity and ecologicality are important criteria for selecting the restoration priority of damage sites. The analysis showed that damage sites in Doam, Jeongseon, Samcheok and Inje are in urgent need of restoration. The results of this study are significant in that they selected the restoration priority of damage sites in Gangwon Province based on the restoration priority evaluation criteria selected based on expert surveys. However, the priority restoration areas derived from the results of this study are not actually implementing restoration projects at present. Therefore, it is judged that it would be efficient in various aspects to establish the restoration priority area based on scientific analysis techniques and carry out the project for efficient implementation of the restoration project. In this study, it can be pointed out that the priority of restoration of damage sites was derived based on data from the past due to the limitation of data acquisition. However, the fact that the priority restoration area inferred based on past data has been restored over time has improved the reliability of the study by verifying the usefulness of the priority extraction technique. In the future, if the priority of damage sites is extracted by extracting the restoration target area boundary through the latest data based on the methodology applied in this study, it is considered that it will be available as a result that can be applied to the field.

Pre-monsoon dynamics of zooplankton community were investigated in the estuary of the Tamjin River flowing into the Doam Bay of the southern coast of Korea. Monthly sampling was carried out to collect zooplankters at five sites in the estuary and the river during the period between March and June 2014. Dissolved oxygen contents were low between $5.0{\sim}7.0mgL^{-1}$ in the estuary and high, 7.0~11.0, in the river. Water temperature increased gradually from 12.0 to $28.0^{\circ}C$ and pH fluctuated between the range 7.4~8.8, respectively. A total of 85 taxa consisted of 25 species of rotifer, 30 kinds of copepod, 8 species of cladoceran, six kinds of aquatic insect larvae, four kinds of decapod and two kinds of Cirripedia larvae and Polychaeta larvae and one kind of Amphipoda, Ispopoda, Appenidicularia, Nematoda and Cnidaria, and Nocticluca scintillans was occurred. Brackish copepods distributed at almost all studied sites with freshwater zooplankters being restricted to upper waters of the river. Monthly succession of Acartia spp. was observed in the estuary with the occurrence of A. hudsonica in March and April then A. omori in May and June. Zooplankton abundance showed to vary from 450 to $87,818ind\;m^{-3}$ due to the explosion of copepodite and copepod nauplius in the estuary. Species diversity indices varied between 0.6~2.3 and generally low in the estuary and high in the river. Sea water input into the river seems to affect the river biota for more than some kilometers of the upper waters of the Tamjin River.

An epidemiologic survey along the several sites of southern coastal areas of Korean peninsula was performed to know the infection status of Pcnlotremc app. metacercariae in Tapes phiLlppirlawm. The clams were purchased from 13 coastal areas in Kyongsangnam- do alld Chollanam-do. in September, 1990. Each of them was digested with pepsin-HCI solution and examined under a stereomicroscope for the recovery of metacercariae. A total of 232 (77.3%) out of 300 examined clams were proved to have 1 to 273 Pawatrema app. metacercariae (54.7 in average). None of the clams from Samoan-myon Kosong-gun and Dolsan-up. Yochon-gun was infected with metacercariae. However, all of the clams from Yonghyon-myon, Sachon-guu, Dohwa-myon, Kohung-gun, Ahllyang-myon. Changhung- gun and Chiryang-myon. Kangiin-gun were infected with average 71, 31, 80 and 42 metacercariae respectively. Of the clams from Kohyon-myon, Namhae-gun, Doam-myon, Kangiin-gun and Kusan-myon. Uichang-guil examined, 97.5%. 95.0% and 90.0% were infected with about 117. 76 and 28 metacercariae. In other 4 surveyed areas. Seolchon rlyoll, Namhae-gun, Hwayang-myon. Yochon-gun Byollyang-myon, Sungju-gun and Bukpyong-myon, Haenam-gun. 55.0%-80.0% of clams were positive. and their average intensity of infection ranged from 6 to 25 metacercariae. From these results, it was confirmed that Tcpes philippincrum from southern coastal areas of Korea are highly infected by Parvatrema spp. metacercariae.
