Water loss is one of the typical but challenging problems in water management. To reduced water loss or increase water efficiency, the pilot projects were implemented in the TTD's irrigation area. Modern soil moisture technology and local level water user training were conducted together as a mean to achieve improved water efficiency. In terms of technology, soil moisture sensors and monitoring system were used to estimate crop water requirement to reduce unnecessary irrigation. This was found to save 16.47% of irrigated water and 25.20% of irrigation supply. Further improvement of water efficiency was gained by means of local level water user training in which stakeholders were engaged in the network of communications and co-planning. The lessons learnt from the TTD pilot project was translated into good water management practices at local level.

우리나라의 상수도 사업은 규모의 영세성, 지역에 따른 경영과 서비스의 불균형, 지역 간 수자원의 이용 및 관리에 있어 불합리한 문제점 등 취약한 산업구조로 인해 효율이 낮은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 자료포락분석(data envelopment analysis)을 활용한 효율성 분석 및 맘퀴스트(Malmquist) 지수 그리고 통계적 방법을 통해 전라북도 지방상수도 사업소의 생산성 변화를 탐색적으로 파악해 보았다. 그 결과 규모 효율성이 1인 사업소가 6개로 나타났으며, 주로 군 단위 사업소에서 평균 이하의 생산성지수를 보임으로써 이들 사업소들은 생산성 증가를 위한 노력을 경주할 필요가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 DEA뿐만 아니라 맘퀴스트 생산성 분석을 통하여 생산성의 변화를 측정한다는 점에서 선행연구들과 차별화되는 바, 전라북도 지역 상수도 부문의 효율성을 제고하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

오늘날의 시대는 블랙골드(black gold)시대를 벗어나 이제 블루골드(blue gold)의 시대가 도래되었다고 할 수 있다. 물에 대한 중요성이 증가되는 가운데, 물 산업의 발전을 위한 지원 및 정책이 제시되고 있다. 물 산업은 공공서비스이지만, 불균형한 공급으로 인한 문제점들이 존재하며 이를 해결하기 위해서 공공서비스의 민영화라는 주제와 관련해 가장 민감하고 관심이 집중된 분야라고 할 수 있다. 우리나라도 이러한 물 산업의 민영화에 대한 주제가 언급되면서 현행 수도법에 근간한 민영화 운영방식 중 하나인 전문기관(한국수자원공사)에 의한 민간위탁이라는 방식으로 공공서비스의 효율성을 높이고자 사업을 진행 중에 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지방상수도 민간위탁 운영을 실행 중인 18개 지역의 위탁사업소들을 대상으로, 2012년부터 2014년까지의 데이터를 바탕으로 하여 민간위탁운영에 대한 효율성 및 생산성 분석을 실시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 효율성 분석결과, 3개년 동안 18개의 위탁기관 중 10개 기관이 효율적인 기관으로 나타났으며 생산성 변화에 대한 분석을 실시한 결과, 1기(2012-2013년)에서 2기(2013-2014년)로 넘어가는 동안 생산성이 감소된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 생산성에 영향을 미치는 원인은 누수율과 원수의 유효이용률로 선정하였고 누수율의 경우 생산성에 부(-)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고 원수의 유효이용률의 경우, 생산성에 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 현 수도사업의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 해결책에 대한 효율성과 생산성을 분석하였다는 점에서 기존의 수도사업과 관련된 연구들이 제시하지 못한 시사점을 지니고 있다고 할 수 있다.

This study set up the estimates of leakage management efficiency evaluation and leakage management goal that could be used in local water distribution networks efficiency business and modernization business. The data were analyzed using data envelopment analysis and multiple regression analysis. To this end, with leakage management input indices concerning leakage reduction activities (e.g., aged pipe replacement, water meter replacement, leakage restoration, and leakage detection) and leakage management calculation indices (e.g., the increase of revenue water ratio and the reduction of leakage ratio), the data on 22 K-water consignment local water supply systems were analyzed for the years from 2004 through 2018. Using the results of efficiency analysis by data envelopment analysis, the other DMUs (Decision Making Unit) benchmarked the DMU with the highest efficiency to maximize the leakage management efficiency for all DMUs. Through this, leakage management goal estimates were drawn with the input indices of four leakage reduction activities and calculation indices of the increase of revenue water ratio and the reduction of leakage ratio by multiple regression analysis for each group based on the revenue water ratio and leakage ratio. The correlation coefficients of the leakage management goal estimate for the criteria for the revenue water ratio amounted to 0.553 and 0.771. The correlation coefficients of the leakage management goal estimate for the criteria for leakage ratio were 0.397 and 0.865. Accordingly, we estimated the quantity and priority of four leakage reduction activities for the target leakage ratio and revenue water ratio.

This paper tries to show the efficiency of water financing between central and local governments. From the year of 2017, the operation and maintenance costs for change water pipes has been provided by central government as block grants system(RDSA: Regional Development Special Account). Even though the water financing is responsible for local government, water drought and high production cost in poor area affects the quality of life nowadays. Then, fiscal transfer through block grant for water financing has been decided to invest regional SOC. The purpose of the paper sheds light on the function of the block grant for public provision by water financing. The firstly tried empirical results are based on the survey from local governments and ministry of environments. The point of the empirical analysis shows that the local governments does not have proper measurement for unexpected water leakage and termination until now. In a policy manner, the paper raises the issues about benefit principle for water users by the increase of tariffs. In order to do so, the paper investigates the relationship between the water provision and fiscal status of each local governments.

The industrial processes have become complicated on a large scale bacause of improvement of productivity, research of efficiency, and shortage of locations to be suited for foundation of factories. Consequently, the instrumentation and control systems for operating these industrial processes have also been highly improved with the development of mass information means. In order to operate these large-sized and complicated industrial processes safely, the man-machine interface for correspondence between man and machines and the instrumentation system regarding process fault processing are playing an important role increasingly. This paper describes recent instrumentation system in the water purifying plant as an example of these industrial processes, and covers both man-machine interface and process fault processing. The annual water supply quantity and diffusion were 2, 000, 000, 000m$^{3}$ and 25.0% in 1950 inJapan, but they amounted to 12, 000, 000, 000m$^{3}$ and 86.7% in 1974, respectively. The demands of water will increase incessantly, while it becomes gradually difficult to secure water sources. Accordingly, local self-governing bodies such as municipal cooperation, towns, and villages often construct a large-scale water purifying plant at one place in common, as required, without constructing respective plants independently. It is an absolute requirement for the water purifying plant to avoid stopping water supply to fullfil its social responsibility from the viewpoints of its public utility enterprise, and also it has gradually become difficult to secure skilled operators enough to cover such water purifying plants that are additionally provided in various districts. Thus, the importance of the man-machine interface for assuring safety operation of the water purifying plant irrespective of unskillfulness of operators as well as the instrumentation system regarding process fault processing, or, safety instrumentation, is more and more increasing as the water purifying plants are on a large scale.

Since China adopted Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) in the 1980s, China has relied on water PPPs to expand appropriate water facilities.. According to the World Bank data from 1994 to 2020, the top five provinces hosted over 40 percent of total PPPs, with four of them located in the Huadong area and one in the Henan area. A vast gap exists between the group attracting the most PPPs and the group hosting the least. This study explores Guangdong and Shandong provinces, which have led most PPPs in China. Coincidently, these areas are also famous for the typical areas to show the Chinese economic policy after the open-door policy. They have achieved economic development and rapid urbanization rates based on the large scale of Foreign Direct Investment inflow and export-oriented manufacturing industry, as well as their active participation in PPPs over the last thirty years. An economic approach can provide valuable insights into the development of water infrastructure. Adequate urban infrastructure has been shown to impact local economic development positively. Water infrastructure also provides a basic and sustainable environment for economic activities by satisfying more water usage, improving the efficiency of the water supply, and reducing water pollution caused by industrial activities. However, it remains only partially understood without inclusive research on the issues related to water resources in each province. For instance, existing studies have been limited to explaining slightly different patterns of water PPPs between Guangdong and Shandong at the beginning of the PPP era. This study aims to elucidate the development pattern of water PPPs in each province from multi-dimensional aspects. Therefore, the study will help understand why China boosted the development of the private water market.

Results of environmental monitoring for 35 steel industry welders exposed to manganese and chromium fume were evaluated. Efficiency of respiratory protectors, welding face shields and local exhaust ventilation were also evaluated to establish more efficient preventive measures that can protect welders from occupational disease as related to welding fume. The results are as follows; 1. Total fume from $CO_2$ arc welding with mild steel occurred 1.5 to 2.2 times more than that from shielded metal arc welding. Chromium and nickel fume from welding with stainless steel occurred 27 to 59 times and 18 to 30 times, respectively, than those with mild steel. 2. Proportions of water-soluble chromium(VI) and insoluble chromium(VI) Compare to total chromium occurring from $CO_2$ arc welding with stainless steel were 10.5% and 8.7%, respectively, while those with mild steel were 57.1 to 63.2% and 31.6 to 38.1%, respectively. 3. The efficiencies of 4 types of respiratory protectors to reduce welding fume exposure were evaluated as 54.4 to 64.4%. 4. The reducing effect of head type welding face shield was 67.6%, and that of hand type welding face shield was 58.5%. The highest reducing effect was shown in air supply welding face shield as 99.2%, although it is not convenient to wear. 5. When welding face shield and respiratory protectors were worn together, the reducing efficiency increased to 79.0 to 87.5%. 6. When local exhaust ventilation was installed in workplace, the reducing efficiencies varied from 31.5 to 73.1% according to the types of welding.
