It is very important to supply safe drinking water for rural area not only a prevention of entric diseases but also a promotion of health life. It is estimated that 6,981,000 rural inhabitants were covered by the simple piped water supply system at the end of 1987 in Korea. The programme for improvement of water supply system in rural villages was initiated by the government since 1967. But most of these systems have been operated carelessly by the hands of villagers who have no proper knowledge and experience. Since most of water sources were located nearby farmland, there might be a possibility that the sources could be contaminated by pesticides and fertilizers. For this reason, it is recommended to take underground water as a water source rather than surface water such as a pond or streamwater in rural areas. However, the system is supplied from the surface water, its water quality can be improved by using of simple sand filter and simple chlorinator inexpensively. On the basis of an on-site study, conducted during 1986-87, in San-Buk Village, Keum-Sa-Myon, Yeju-Gun, Kyong-Gi-Do, the new simple piped water supply system was designed by the Institute for Environmental Research, Yonsei University, and constructed by the villagers themselves in September 1987. This simple system which is protected by metal fences consists of three main parts, pump house, vertical sand filter and water tank. The pumped water from underground flows into the upper part of the sand filter, through the sand, and out the water tank which is connected to the bottom of vertical filter. And the simple plastic-bottle chlorinator was installed in the water tank for chlorination. The water quality was remarkably improved after completion of construction. The total bacterial count was not detected from the tap water in households distributed by this simple piped water supply system. The construction cost of this system which was connected 34 households in San-Buk Village, was 4,851,000 won (approximately 6,020 U.S. dollars : 1$=805.8 won) in 1987,77% of expenses was supported by the Community Development Foundation in Korea. This case study for simple piped water supply projects will be applicable to other programme for improvement of water supply system in rural areas of Korea, and other developing countries.

사육수에 광물미립자를 현탁시켜 노폐물을 흡착, 분해시킨 후 이를 분리, 배출시킴으로서 사육수를 정화시켜 재 사용할 수 있다는 가설 하에 사육수조와 포말분리장치로만 구성된 사육수 재사용 시스템에서 광물미립자를 현탁시켜 넙치를 실험사육 하였다. 두 종류의 가공황토 (processed residual reddish soil, 50 $\mu$ 이하)와 돌로마이트 (dolomite, 50 ${\mu}$이하) 미립자를 사육수에 현탁시키고 포말분리장치로 이를 분리, 배출시킴으로서 사육수를 정화하였다. 직경 4.8 m의 원형사육수조(사육수량 10 $m^2$), 사육수 순환을 시간당 2회전, 재사용을 90%, 수온 17${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$에서 평균체중 23.1 g의 넙치 치어(5,555마리, 총중량 128 kg)를 75일간 사육하여 평균체중84.6 g (5,532마리, 총중량 468 kg)으로 육성하였다. 최종수용밀도는 26.0 kg/$m^2$였다. 실험기간 동안 어병은 관찰되지 않았다. 사육수에 광물입자를 현탁시켜 사육수 중의 노폐물을 흡착, 분해시킨 후 포말분리장치로 이를 배출시킴으로서 사육수를 정화하여 재사용하는 방법은 새로운 사육수 재사용 어류양식시스템으로서 가능성이 있다.
