The purpose of this study is to identify the efficiency of LID technologies for controlling non-point source pollution from urban areas. The recent technical responses to managing water resource and urban areas according to the influence of climate change is an important national policy, along with green growth. Through various reference studies reasonable ways to consider a wholistic plan on urban-eco-friendly river management, the Low Impact Development (LID) as the adequate river management method is being undertaken in foreign countries to technically apply to urban plans. However, the LID is at the initial stage in Korea, with no specific studies implemented. Thus, this study explored whether LID technologies can be efficient measures to control non-point source pollution on the cost side. Ulsan's Namgu and Bukgu have been chosen as case studies that illustrate the efficiency of the LID technologies. On investigation, if LID technologies are designed properly, the efficiency of them is expected to higher than that of sewage treatment plant.

LID facilities do not consider environmental factors, and due to inappropriate vegetation planting causing degradation in efficiency due to plant damage and difficulty in maintenance. Therefore, in this study, assessment of impact environmental factor by seasonal variation of chlorophyll and growth of vegetation planted in LID technologies and change of pollutant reduction were conducted. In the case of B-SJ and B-RI, growth rate decreased after summer (August), and B-MG showed steady growth until autumn (September). Chlorophyll was found to increase during spring season while it decreased during autumn season. The chlorophyll concentration was found to affect the plant growth pattern. TN reduction efficiency was highest with greater than 80% efficiency in summer, and it was analyzed that plants were identified as the main factor affecting the seasonal reduction efficiency of TN. Also, temperature and relative humidity were analyzed to affect plant growth, activity and pollutant removal efficiency. Plant type and growth pattern are considered as factors to be considered in selection of appropriate plant types in LID technologies.

ESPR project started in 1999 with METI and NEDO support as five-years program in order to develop necessary technologies for the next-generation SST engine. In ESPR program, jet noise reduction technologies are focused as environmentally compatible technologies, which are critical to realize next-generation SST. In designing a lobed mixer nozzle which is a jet noise suppression system, there are many difficulties to understand the detailed flow phenomena occurred in the system because of its complexity. Large Eddy Simulation (LES) was applied to the lobed mixer nozzle flow analysis in ESPR project. The results demonstrated that LES approach was capable of predicting mixing characteristics of a complicated flow.

In this study, using the RCP scenario for Hyoja Drainage subbasin of Cheonggyecheon, we analyzed the change with the Historical and Future rainfall calculated from five GCMs models. As a result of analyzing the average rainfall by each GCMs model, the future rainfall increased by 35.30 to 208.65 mm from the historical rainfall. Future rainfall increased 1.73~16.84% than historical rainfall. In addition, the applicability of LID element technologies such as porous pavement, infiltration trench and green roof was analyzed using the SWMM model. And the applied weight and runoff for each LID element technology are analyzed. As a result of the analysis, although there was a difference for each GCMs model, the runoff increased by 2.58 to 28.78%. However, when single porous pavement and Infiltration trench were applied, Future rainfall decreased by 3.48% and 2.74%, 8.04% and 7.16% in INM-CM4 and MRI-CGCM3 models, respectively. Also, when the two types of LID element technologies were combined, the rainfall decreased by 2.74% and 2.89%, 7.16% and 7.31%, respectively. This is less than or similar to the historical rainfall runoff. As a result of applying the LID elemental technology, it was found that applying a green roof area of about 1/3 of the urban area is the most effective to secure the lag time of runoff. Moreover, when applying the LID method to the old downtown area, it is desirable to consider the priority order in the order of economic cost, maintenance, and cityscape.

The construction technologies for development and urbanization diversely effect on the water qualities, hydraulics and aquatic ecosystems in watershed areas. Usually, the landuse changes in watershed areas by human activities are known as the main sources of pollutants to aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, in order to protect the aquatic ecosystems and to improve the water quality, the construction technologies should be improved with environmental technologies. In this paper, several applicable technologies for construction projects and protection of aquatic ecosystem will be summarized, which are the low impact developments (LID), buffer zones, watershed management practices, etc. Also the 21st sustainable environmental policies concerning watershed management will be discussed for watershed managers.

The importance of preemptive flood preparation is growing as the importance of preparing for climate change increases due to record heavy rains in the Seoul metropolitan area in August 2022. Although it is responding to flood control through reservoirs and sediment sites, the government is preparing excellent spill reduction measures through a preliminary consultation system for Low Impact Development (LID). In this study, the depth of flooding was simulated when LID technologies were applied to the Sillim 2-drain region in Dorimcheon Stream basin, an urban stream, using XP-SWMM, a two-dimensional model. In addition, the analysis and applicability of the effect of reducing rainfall runoff for the largest rainfall in a day were reviewed, and it was judged to be effective as a method of reducing flooding in urban areas. Although there is a limitation in which the reduction effect is overestimated, it is thought that the LID technologies can be a significant countermeasure as a countermeasure for small-scale flooded areas where some flooding occurs after structural flooding measures are established.

LID technologies are capable of mitigating the negative impacts of non-point source (NPS) pollution generated in different land uses. Apart from the increase in point and non-point pollutant generation, highly developed and paved areas generally affect microclimate conditions. This study evaluated both the efficiency of Low Impact Development (LID) facilities in treating NPS pollutant loads as well as the unit pollutant loads (UPL) generated in various urban features (such as parking lots and highways). This investigation also looked at how LID technology helped to alleviate Urban Heat Island (UHI) conditions. As compared to the typical unit pollutant loads in South Korea, the unit pollutant loads at Kongju National University were relatively low, because of no classes, limited vehicular transmission, and low anthropogenic activities during vacation. After receiving treatment from the LID facilities, the effluent pollutant loads were significantly decreased. The sedimentation in filtration mechanisms considerably reduced the pollutant fractions in the influent. Additionally, it was shown that LID facilities' mean surface temperatures are up to 7.2℃ lower than the nearby paved environment, demonstrating the LID systems reducing the UHI impact on an urban area.

우리나라의 경우 비점오염원에 의한 오염부하 기여도가 점차 증가하면서 '06년 관련 법규 개정을 통해 일정 규모 이상의 개발사업에 대해서는 비점오염저감시설 설치를 의무화하였으며, '11년 기준 국내에는 약 6,000여개 이상의 저감시설이 설치되었다. 해당 시설에 대한 모니터링 결과 장치형에 비해 자연형이 처리효율 및 유지관리 측면에서 유리한 것으로 보고되면서 환경부는 개발사업에 대해 저영향개발기법(LID)의 적용을 의무화하는 방안을 추진 중이다. 개발사업에 있어 LID는 토지이용기법을 통해 우수 유출과 오염원 유출을 저감하고자 하는 기법으로, 비용 및 유지관리 측면에서는 유리하나 기존 단위시설 적용기법에 비해 계획적인 요소가 강해 적용 확대 및 의무화가 용이하지 않은 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 LID 적용 확대와 관련된 문제점을 분석하고 적용 의무화를 위해 필요한 대안을 모색해 보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 해당 기법 자체가 가지는 한계와 제도적인 문제점을 분석하였으며, LID 기법의 확대 적용을 위해 필요한 대안을 제안하였다. 분석 결과, LID 기법은 기존 장치형 시설에 비해 계획기법의 측면이 커 기술개발이 어려울 뿐만 아니라, 저감시설의 적용여부에 대한 검증도 곤란한 것으로 분석되었다. 또한, 처리효율 계량화가 어려워 오염총량제와 연계된 오염부하 삭감효과 인정이 곤란해 확대 적용에 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 상기의 분석결과에 근거할 때, LID 기법의 확대 적용은 국내의 제도적 여건 및 LID 기법 자체의 한계를 감안하여 단계적으로 추진되어야 할 것으로 판단되며, 조속한 확대 시행을 위해서는 다음의 방안 마련을 제안한다. 첫째, 적용 여부에 대한 판단이 모호한 단점을 보완하기 위해 적정 적용여부를 심의할 수 있는 인증제도 도입을 제안한다. 이 제도는 친환경건축물인증제도 등 기존 유사 제도에 항목을 추가하는 방법과 별도의 제도를 신설하는 방법이 가능할 것이다. 둘째, 처리효율 정량화를 위해 기존 농도 위주의 처리효율 개념을 벗어나 유량 개념의 처리효율 산정이 필요하다. 즉, 처리용량 범위내에서 외부에 유출없이 우수저류 및 침투가 가능한 경우 전량 처리되는 것으로 간주하는 방식이다. 연구결과로 제안한 LID 기법 적용에 대한 인증제도 마련과 유량개념의 처리효율 산정방안이 도입된다면, 보다 조속한 시일내 LID 기법의 확대 적용이 가능할 것이다.

Impervious areas have been expanded by urbanization and the natural structure of water circulation has been destroyed. The limits of centralized management for controlling storm water runoff in urban areas have been suggested. Low impact development (LID) technologies have been promoted as a crucial alternative, establishing a connection with city development plans to build green infrastructures in environmentally friendly cities. Thus, the improvement of water circulation and the control of nonpoint source were simulated through XP-SWMM (storm water and wastewater management model for experts) in this study. The application of multiple LID combination practices with permeable pavements, bioretention cells, and gutter filters were observed as reducing the highest runoff volume by up to 70%. The results from four different LID installation scenarios indicated that permeable paving is the most effective method for reducing storm water runoff. The rate of storm water runoff volume reduced as the rainfall duration extended. Based on the simulation results, each LID facility was designed and constructed in the target area. The LID practices in an urban area enable future studies of the analysis of the criteria, suitable capacity, and cost-efficiency, and proper management methods of various LID techniques.
