Groundwater and rainwater are the only sources of freshwater in small islands as many islands lack surface water sources. Groundwater occurring in the form of freshwater lens floating on denser seawater is highly dependent on natural recharge from rainfall. A sharp interface numerical model for regional and well scale modeling is selected to assess the sustainability of freshwater lens in the island of Tongatapu. In this study, 29 downscaled General Circulation Model(GCM) predictions are input to the recharge model based on water balance modelling. Three GCM predictions which represent wet, dry and medium conditions are selected for use in the groundwater flow model. Total freshwater volume and number of saltwater intruded wells are simulated under various climate scenarios with GCM predicted rainfall pattern, sea level rise and pumping. Simulations indicate that the sustainability of the freshwater lens is threatened by the frequent droughts which are predicted under all scenarios of recharge. The natural depletion of the lens during droughts and increase in water demands, leads to saltwater upconing under the pumping wells. Implementation of drought management measures is of utmost importance to ensure sustainability of freshwater lens in future.

Estuarine dams are a recent and global phenomenon. While estuarine dams can provide the benefit of improved freshwater resources, they can also alter estuarine processes. Due to the wide range of estuarine types and estuarine dam configurations, the effect of estuarine dams on estuaries is not well understood in general. To develop a systematic understanding of the effect of estuarine dam location and freshwater discharge interval on a range of estuarine types (strongly stratified, partially mixed, periodically stratified, and well-mixed), this study used a coupled hydrodynamic-sediment dynamic numerical model (COAWST) and compared flow, sediment transport, and morphological conditions in the pre- and post-dam estuaries. For each estuarine type, scenarios with dam locations at 20, 55 and 90 km from the mouth and discharge intervals of a discharge every 0.5, 3, and 7 days were investigated. The results were analyzed in terms of change in tide, river discharge, estuarine classification, and sediment flux mechanism. The estuarine dam location primarily affected the tide-dominated estuaries, and the resonance length was an important length scale affecting the tidal currents and Stokes return flow. When the location was less than the resonance length, the tidal currents and Stokes return flow were most reduced due to the loss of tidal prism, the dead-end channel, and the shift from mixed to standing tides. The discharge interval primarily affected the river-dominated estuaries, and the tidal cycle period was an important time scale. When the interval was greater than the tidal cycle period, notable seaward discharge pulses and freshwater fronts occurred. Dams located near the mouth with large discharge interval differed the most from their pre-dam condition based on the estuarine classification. Greater discharge intervals, associated with large discharge magnitudes, resulted in scour and seaward sediment flux in the river-dominated estuaries, and the dam located near the resonance length resulted in the greatest landward tidal pumping sediment flux and deposition in the tide-dominated estuaries.

The flow of freshwater into the sea, termed as submarine groundwater discharge, is a key factor for understanding the hydrological cycle in both the sea and land regions. The numerous positions from which freshwater gushes out or its quantity impedes the understanding of its properties. Therefore, this study detects groundwater discharge points arising due to the difference in freshwater and seawater by using the multispectral Landsat ETM+ signals. A case study in coastal regions around Mt. Chokaisan, Japan is performed. This study comprises three procedures: (1) computer simulation of the flow of submarine groundwater discharge in the study area, (2) performance of preliminary experiment on the band properties of the Landsat ETM+, (3) detection of the difference in water properties by using the Landsat multispectral bands. Our experimental results obtained by the Landsat ETM+ are in considerable agreement with the realities in the study area.

Temporal and spatial variation in the freshwater region, created by river runoff, of a small bay, caused by the passage of typhoons was examined using a three-dimensional primitive equation model (the Princeton Ocean Model, POM). Numerical experiments were implemented focusing on temporal evolution in the freshwater region in association with typhoon tracks. The model domain covered most of the estuary around the Nakdong River, including Noksan Bay, where river water is periodically released from upstream (Noksan dam). The model showed that the extension of the freshwater region outside of the bay depended strongly on the tracks of typhoons, specifically the associated wind directions and inner flow fields that are accompanied by new clockwise eddies. The model also showed that entrainment from typhoon passage frequently creates salt wedges in the estuary, indicating that organisms in the bay are biologically and chemically influenced with variation in the freshwater region.

The ichthyofauna and passing efficiency of fishways were surveyed in Geumgang estuary from May to October in 2009. The fishes collected were classified into 24 species, 23 genera belonging to 8 families. These 24 species consist of 17 freshwater fish species, 3 migration fish species and 4 peripheral freshwater fish species. Seasonal function of fishways showed the migration from May to June and returning to the reservoir of fishes be washed out to sea when sluice gate open by rainfall in July and August. Most of the fishes catched in fishways moved from middle tide to high tide except for July. Fishes ascended fishways between the middle ebb tide and the ebb tide only July, because small freshwater swim against the fishway for leaching the reservoir through the newly formed flow when the water level at the fishway kept dropping. Small fishes that body length less than 200 mm mainly used gabion type fishways and fishes over 200 mm utilized a cascade type fishways. Based on the total individuals collected, the efficiency of the fishway was 1 % for the anadromous fish and over 80 % for freshwater fish. Therefore, it is concluded that ecological function of the fishway in the Geumgang estuary dike be very important not only for fish migration but also freshwater fishes's returning.

담수를 통해 유입되는 육상 기원 물질은 연안 일차 생산을 제어하는 주요 요소이므로 육상-해양 coupling을 파악하는 것은 연안 생태 변화를 이해하는데 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 육상-해양 coupling 양상을 시간에 따라 세 단계(Base flow, Plume event, Residual flow)로 구분하여 개념화하였고, 낙동강 하구에서 각 양상의 출현을 확인하기위해 다양한 플랫폼에서 측정된 자료를 사용하여 분석하였다. 사용된 자료는 원격 탐사 측정 자료(Geostationary Ocean Color Image; GOCI), 현장 실측 자료(Marine Environment Information System; MEIS), 연속 측정 자료(유량 자료, 기상 자료)로 구분될 수 있다. 주성분분석을 통해 MEIS 자료를 육상-해양 coupling의 세 단계로 구분하였고, 이 구분을 2013-2018년 동안의 여타 자료에 적용하여 단기간 육상-해양 coupling 양상을 살펴보았다. 낙동강 하구에서는 예상과는 달리 Plume event때 Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) 최대값이 나타났다. 이는 담수 증가에도 탁도 증가는 크지 않았고, 플러싱 효과도 약해 식물플랑크톤이 증가 할 수 있는 여건이 조성되었기 때문으로 분석되었다. 육상-해양 coupling을 기반으로 여러 하구들과 비교해보았을 때 육상-해양 coupling은 담수 유입에 영향을 받는 하구에서 흔한 현상이나 하구에서 형성되는 플룸 크기에 따라 육상-해양 coupling이 다르게 나타났다. 낙동강 하구처럼 작은 플룸(~10 km 규모) 이 형성되는 하구에서는 식물플랑크톤의 즉각적인 반응으로 인해 Plume event 단계에 Chl-a 최댓값이 나타나는 반면, ~100 km 이상의 큰 플룸이 형성되는 하구(담수 배출이 크고, 플러싱이 강한 곳)에서는 본 연구에서 개념화한 육상-해양 coupling 양상(Residual flow 때 Chl-a 최대)을 따르는 것으로 나타났다.

A coupled liquid-gas-solid three-phase model, linking two numerical codes (TOUGH2/EOS3 and $FLAC^{3D}$), was firstly established and validated by simulating an in-situ air flow test in Essen. Then the coupled model was employed to investigate responses of multiphase flow and soil skeleton deformation to compressed air or freshwater injection using the same simulation conditions in an aquifer of Tianjin, China. The simulation results show that with injecting pressurized fluids, the vertical effective stress in some area decreases owing to the pore pressure increasing, an expansion of soil skeleton appears, and land uplift occurs due to support actions from lower deformed soils. After fluids injection stops, soil deformation decreases overall due to injecting fluids dissipating. With the same applied pressure, changes in multiphase flow and geo-mechanical deformation caused by compressed air injection are relatively greater than those by freshwater injection. Furthermore, the expansion of soil skeleton induced by compressed air injection transfers upward and laterally continuously with time, while during and after freshwater injection, this expansion reaches rapidly a quasi-steady state. These differences induced by two fluids injection are mainly because air could spread upward and laterally easily for its lower density and phase state transition appears for compressed air injection.

담수 유입이 항만 내 해수순환에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 인천 남항의 남측에 위치한 신국제 여객터미널 해역에 3차원 유동 수치 모델을 구축 및 적용하였다. 수치 모델의 모의 기간은 경기만 지역의 평수기인 5월 15일부터 6월 30일까지 약 45일이며, 모델 결과와 관측자료의 비교를 통하여 유동과 염분 변화에 관한 모델의 재현성을 검증하였다. 신국제 여객터미널에 영향을 미치는 담수 공급원은 한강과 항만 동쪽에 위치한 용현 갯골 유수지가 있다. 유수지의 유무에 따른 잔차류 결과를 분석해 보면, 한강과 유수지가 모두 고려된 실험안이 한강만을 고려한 실험안보다 염분 경사에 의한 2층 흐름 구조(표층은 외해 방향, 저층은 항 내를 향한 흐름 구조)가 수평적으로 더 강하게 발달한다. 이는, 한강으로부터의 담수 영향보다 유수지로부터의 담수 영향이 신국제 여객터미널 해역에서 더 크다는 것을 시사한다. 또한, 잔차류의 2층 흐름 구조는 북쪽에 위치한 인천 남항보다, 남쪽에 위치한 신국제 여객터미널에서 더 강한 2층 흐름 구조가 발생한다. 이 프로세스는 유수지로부터의 담수와 항 내로 전파된 조류가 만나 신국제 여객터미널 방향으로 회전되어 전파되면서, 남쪽에 위치한 신국제 여객터미널에 저염수가 전달됨에 따라 형성된다. 이러한 흐름은 신국제 여객터미널 전면부에서 수평적인 염분 경사에 의한 성층을 강화시키며, 강화된 성층은 2층 흐름 구조를 형성 및 유지시킨다. 따라서, 항만 내의 경압 작용에 의한 해수순환과 물질이동을 재현하고자 할 때, 유수지와 같은 국지적인 담수 유입원이라도, 항만 내의 해수순환에 지배적인 영향을 미치므로, 현장 관측 자료를 기반으로 유수지에서 방류되는 실시간 담수 유량에 따른 수치모델을 수행해야 한다.

Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and the interface between seawater and freshwater in an unconfined coastal aquifer was evaluated by numerical modeling. A two-dimensional vertical cross section of the aquifer was constructed. Coupled flow and salinity transport modeling were peformed by using a numerical code FEFLOW In this study, we investigated the changes in groundwater flow and salinity transport in coastal aquifer with hydraulic condition such as the magnitude of recharge flux, hydraulic conductivity. Especially, transient simulation considering tidal effect and seasonal change of recharge rate was simulated to compare the difference between quasi-steady state and transient state. Results show that SGD flux is in proportion to the recharge rate and hydraulic conductivity, and the interface between the seawater and the freshwater shows somewhat retreat toward the seaside as recharge flux increases. Considered tidal effect, SGD flux and flow directions are affected by continuous change of the sea level and the interface shows more dispersed pattern affected by velocity variation. The cases which represent variable daily recharge rate instead of annual average value also shows remarkably different result from the quasi-steady case, implying the importance of transient state simulation.

The behavior characteristics of the saltwater intrusion in the Seomjin River Estuary by the inflow of fresh water were analysed by the field observation using CTD in the neap tide in January, June, and August 2013 as well as a numerical model, EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code). As a result, Seomjin River Estuary is found that the saltwater intrusion is sensitive to the tide and tidal and freshwater flow. The results of field observation and numerical model were similar in the range of salt, but the results of salt wedge distribution were quite different. The observation of tide and tidal current as well as hydrographic surveying the Seomjin River Estuary will be jointly conducted for the accurate analysis.
