만경강은 전라북도 북부를 남서쪽으로 흐르는 하천으로 유로연장 80.86km, 유역면적 1,504.35km²에 이르며 유로는 영산강에 이어 6번째, 유역면적은 안성천, 삽교천에 이어 8번째에 해당하는 하천이다. 만경강은 금강, 동진강 등과 함께 호남평야의 중앙을 서쪽으로 흐르며 호남평야에 농업용수를 공급하고, 전주시와 완주군, 김제시에 공업용수를 공급하는 중요한 하천 중 하나이다. 만경강 상류에는 대아저수지, 경천저수지 등 다수의 농업용 저수지가 설치되어 있으며, 농업용수 공급을 위한 다수의 취입보와 양수장이 설치·운용되고 있다. 만경강 중상류에서 위치한 취입보 중 가장 큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 것은 완주군(오성교)관측소와 완주군(용봉교)관측소 사이에 위치한 어우 취입보로 최대 허가량은 약 10m³/s이며, 연간 취수량은 약 1억 4천만톤이다. 어우 취입보에서 취수한 용수는 대간 도수로를 통해 새만금간척지까지 농업용수를 공급한 후 완주군(삼례교)관측소 하류에 위치한 비비정 배수갑문을 통하여 만경강으로 회귀한다. 어우 취입보의 영향으로 인하여 만경강 중상류에 위치한 3개의 관측소(완주군(오성교), 완주군(용봉교), 완주군(하리교))는 비정상적인 상하류 관계가 발생하고 있다. 만경강은 이와 같은 다수의 취입보와 양수장 운영으로 상하류 역전이 발생하고 있으나, 유역 내 물수지 분석을 통해 실제 취수량 등을 고려할 경우 농번기에도 정상적인 상하류 관계가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 만경강에 위치한 저수지 3개소(경천저수지, 용담댐, 대아저수지)의 방류량과 고산정수장의 회귀수 자료, 어우 취입보에 설치된 자동유량자료 및 취입보(7개소)의 허가량과 취수량 자료를 확보하여 물수지 분석을 실시하였다. 또한, 만경강 중상류에 위치한 관측소의 2022년 개발된 수위-유량관계곡선식을 활용하여 환산유량을 산정하였으며 물수지 분석을 실시하여 상하류 검토와 누가유출 및 유출률을 검토한 결과 상하류 관계가 비교적 안정적인 것으로 확인되었다.

지구상의 물 순환은 구름이 형성되어 비나 눈의 형태로 낙하하여 지표수를 형성하거나 일부가 땅속으로 스며들어 지하수를 형성하기도 한다. 또한, 지표면이나 수면, 식물의 입면을 통해서 대기중으로 증발되기도 한다. 대기중으로 소실되지 않은 물은 지표수나 지하수로 하천을 통해 바다로 흘러간다. 이와 같은 물 순환을 수문순환(hydrologic cycle)이라고 한다(Lee, 2008). 하지만 인구 증가 및 산업화로 인해 농업용수, 공업용수, 생활용수 사용이 증가하며 하천에서 직접 물을 취수하여 사용하고 있고 하수종말처리장, 농수로 등을 통해 회귀되는 유량이 많아 하천의 유출 특성을 파악하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 정확한 하천 유출 체계 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 하천에서 사용되고 유입되는 물의 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 수계 및 제 1지류인 전주천에서 운영되고 있는 취·배수 시설에 대해 문헌조사와 현장조사를 진행하였으며, 조사한 내용을 토대로 하천의 물 사용 체계 모식도를 작성하였다. 만경강 유역의 조사대상 구간은 대아댐 하류에서 전주천 합류점까지의 구간에 대해 조사를 실시하였으며, 전주천 유역은 삼천합류점에서 만경강 본류 합류점까지와 삼천 유역의 구이저수지에서 전주천 합류점 까지를 조사구간으로 선정하였다. 문헌조사의 대상시설은 저수지, 양수장, 취입보, 하수처리장 등이며, 조사대상은 하천의 유출 특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 시설로 최소 하루 기준으로 일 취수량 0.20㎥/s, 일 방류량 0.20㎥/s 이상이 되는 시설에 대해서만 수행하였다. 현장조사에서는 현장을 방문하여 취·배수시설의 위치와 유입구의 위치, 도수로 등을 조사하였으며, 취·배수 시설의 유량 정확도 평가를 위해 현장에서 유량측정을 수행하여 허가량과의 비교 검토를 실시하였다. 만경강은 농업용수 사용의 증가에 따라 상하류 유량반전이 빈번하게 발생하였으나 이 연구를 통해 검토한 결과 만경강 유역내의 상하류 유량반전 시기가 과거에 비해 감소하였으며, 완주군(오성교)관측소와 완주군(용봉교)관측소의 손실고가 안정적으로 변한 것으로 확인되었으며, 전주시(미산교)관측소 또한 관측소 상류에 위치한 취·배수영향을 고려하여 유출률을 산정한 결과 과거에 비해 손실고가 일정하게 유지되는 안정된 결과를 도출하였다. 따라서 유역의 유출 체계 특성을 체계적으로 관리하기 위해서는 하천의 취·배수시설에 대한 다양성을 고려하여 하천 유출 특성을 파악할 필요가 있다.

In order to elucidate the relationship between the mobility of heavy metals in soil and their uptake by plants, the soil samples collected from the Mangyeong River area were analyzed for the contents and existing forms of the heavy metals and the correlation between the contents of heavy metals in the soil and those in various parts of rice plants therefrom. The soil samples were collectes from ten sites in the paddy fields in 1982 and 1990, respectively, and the analysis on heavy metals including Cd, Zn, Cu and Pb was performed. The results are as follows: Total contents of heavy metals in the samples of 1990 were higher than those of 1982. The extent of increase was that Cd, Zn, Cu and Pb were 3, 29, 59 and 8% in top soil and 8, 50, 91 and 8% in sub-soil, respectively. The order of increasing ratio was Cu > Zn > Pb > Cd and the variation of Cd content by sequentially different extraction was organically bound > dilute acid-extractable=Fe-Mn oxide bound > exchangeable > residual fractions and the content of Cd with organically bound was $46.62{\sim}48.08$ and $41.18{\sim}50.18%$ of total Cd in top and sub-soil, respectively. The ratios of immobile heavy metals, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn, bound within an oxide or silicate matrix of Fe-Mn oxide in top-soil were 21.25, 35.98, 74.18 and 82.12%, respectively, and consequently their mobile ratios of exchangeable, dilute acid-extractable and organically bound were more than 17.88%. Those of mobile Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn were 78.25, 64.02, 25.82 and 17.88%, respectively. Except for Pb a correlation between the contents of Cd, Zn, and Cu of exchangeable and dilute acid-extractable in top-soil and those in leaf blade, stem and panicle axis was significant, but was not significant in sub-soil.

The infection status of Centrocestus armatus metacercariae (CaMc) was broadly surveyed in freshwater fishes from major river systems in the Republic of Korea (Korea) during 2008-2017. A total of 14,977 fishes was caught and examined by the artificial digestion method. CaMc were detected in 3,818 (97.1%) (2,114 Z. platypus: 96.1% and 1,704 Z. temminckii: 98.4%) out of 3,932 Zacco spp. examined and their density was 1,867 (2,109 in Z. platypus and 1,567 in Z. temminckii) per fish infected. The prevalences with CaMc were high, 93.7-100%, in Zacco spp. from all surveyed areas. However, their densities were more or less different by the surveyed areas and fish species. They were most high in Nakdong-gang in Gyeongsangnam-do (4,201 in average), and followed by Geum-gang (2,343), Nakdong-gang in Gyeongsangbuk-do (1,623), Han-gang (1,564), Tamjin-gang and Yeongsan-gang (1,540), streams in the east coast (1,028), Seomjin-gang (488) and Mangyeong-gang (170). In another species of rasborinid fish, Opsariichthys uncirostris amurensis, CaMc were detected in 222 (74.8%) out of 297 ones examined and their density was 278 (1-4,480) per fish infected. CaMc were also detected in total 41 fish species except for the rasborinid fish, Z. platypus, Z. temminckii and O. uncirostris amurensis. Conclusively, it was confirmed that among the 3 species of rasborinid fish, Z. platypus and Z. temminckii are highly prevalent and O. uncirostris amurensis is moderately prevalent with CaMc. Additionally, we could know that variety of fish species act as the second intermediate hosts of C. armatus in Korea.

To investigate differences in lead contents of paddy soils and rice plants affected by municipal and industrial waste water pollution in Mangyeong River area, soil and plants samples were collected in 1982 and 1990 according to the distances from the main inlet source and depths of soil. Soil samples were extracted with ${4H-HNO}_3$ and plant sampler were digested with mixture of ${HNO}_3$ and ${HCIO}_4$ for analyzing by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The Pb contents in soils ranged from 13.2 to 56.4 mg $kg^{-1}$. Average Pb level in 1990 was some higher than that in 1982. Variation of Pb content with the distances from the source of waste water showed decreasing tendency wish distances, and it was clearer in 1990 than in 1982. A significant correlation was observed between Pb contents in surface and in subsurface soil, between Pb content in soils and soil properties as clay, OM, and $Ca^{++}$ in 1982, and between Pb content in soils and contents of Cu and Zn in soils. The average Pb content in leaf sheath was 3.42 times of that in brown rice. Pb content in brown rice ranged from 3.1 to 10.4mg $kg^{-1}$.

A study on vegetation in the Mangyeong River and Dongjin River basins and the surrounding regions of the Saemangeum Reclaimed Land was conducted in a series of efforts to determine the expected ecological changes in the salt marshes, to restore their vegetation, to explore the restoring force of halophyte, to examine the community mechanism and, ultimately, to rehabilitate marshy land vegetation along the lakeside, coastal dune and salt marshes of the Saemangeum Project Area. The findings of the study may be summed up as follows: Five species such as Suaeda japonica, Salicornia herbacea, Atriplex gmelini, Aster tripolium and Suaeda asparagoides that are mostly distributed in the estuary of the Saemangeum Reclaimed Land were analyzed to examine the mechanism of halophyte to maintain their community. To find out the strategies of plants for survival and the cause of forming community structure, a research was made as for appearance ratio of biomass, root lengths and germination. With regard to biomasses of halophyte, the biomass of Suaeda japonica increases rapidly, while Salicornia herbacea adopts a strategy of unstable growth pattern by which the biomass increases slowly in parallel with its slow speed of growth since initial appearance of young sapling. In contrast, Suaeda asparagoides, Atriplex gmelini and Aster tripolium choose to adapt themselves to environment promptly by being transformed into life form of annual or biennial plant, a pattern that is presumed to be favorable and stable for survival in the later stage of growth. In short, there is a sharp distinction among the 5 species: i.e. Suaeda japonica that begins to grow fast in the length of surface and underground section but slows down from the mid-stage on; Salicornia herbacea that grows slowly in the beginning step but starts to step up from the middle onward; Atriplex gmelini and Aster tripolium growing slowly in the initial stage but fast later on; and Suaeda asparagoides that turns from the constant growth in the beginning to rapid growth in the later period. The outcomes of the analysis into status of growth and influencing factors of Suaeda japonica in the sowing field that is most widely prevalent in the Saemangeum Reclaimed Land as a sort of ecological pioneer in the salt marshes showed that the average size of grass lands, density and number of individuals increase in the natural sowing field as well as in the plowing field regardless of their physical as well as physico-chemical features of the soil as the season progresses from June to October of a year.

In order to investigate spatial and temporal distributional characteristics of major water qualities in the Saemangeum area during the Saemangeum dike construction, salinity, COD, dissolved nutrients(DIN, Silicate) and heavy metals were analyzed from the surface water collected in April, May, August and November 2002. The overall value of Salinity, COD, DIN, and silicate in surface waters were in the range of $13.08{\sim}31.96\;psu$, $0.12{\sim}3.43\;mg/L$, $0.001{\sim}2.638\;mg/L$, and $0.010{\sim}3.181\;mg/L$, respectively. The COD and DIN in each survey showed the highest concentration at the mouth of Mangyeong river estuary(St. 1) where freshwater flow into the Saemangeum area. The concentrations of nutrients were high in the inner part of the Saemangeum dike with low-salinity, and low nutrients in the outer part of the dike with high-salinity, which strongly indicated that concentrations were adjusted by physical mixing. The ranges of dissolved metals and acid-soluble Hg in surface seawater were $0.006{\sim}0.115{\mu}g/L$ for Co, $0.26{\sim}0.114{\mu}g/L$ for Ni, $0.14{\sim}0.93{\mu}g/L$ for Cu, $0.04{\sim}0.53{\mu}g/L$ for Zn, $0.010{\sim}0.043{\mu}g/L$ for Cd, $0.010{\sim}0.795{\mu}g/L$ for Pb, and $0.25{\sim}4.16{\mu}g/L$ for Hg. The highest concentrations of some metals except for Cd were found at the estuary(Sts. 1 or 3). In most cases, a decreasing order of metal concentrations towards open sea(low-salinity$\rightarrow$high-salinity) was observed and showed positive relationship with DIN and silicate caused by land base pollutants input. On the other hand, due to Cd desorption from suspended solids in saline water, dissolved Cd concentrations were high in high-salinity area and low in low-salinity. In November, Co, Zn, Cu and Pb were relatively high in the northern area of the outer-side of Saemangeum, which was only influenced by the Geum river discharge. The concentrations of most dissolved metals of this study were lower than those of the past data in this area, but higher than those in Lena river estuary under the pristine environment.

In order to understand the impacts of the construction of artificial sea dikes on carbon cycle in Samangeum area being a closed environment after April, 2006, we had measured suspended particulate matters, particulate and dissolved organic carbon in the surface water of inner Saemangeum dike from 2003 to 2006. The significant inputs of suspended particulate matter and organic carbon were mainly occurred during the wet season which suggests that most organic matter loading is concentrated within a short period of time inside the dike. The concentrations of particulate matter and organic carbon have gradually increasing every year inside of dike from the Mangyeong river estuary to Saemangeum dike, which has been closed since 2003 after the construction of the 4th dike. The particulate organic carbon increased due to the phytoplankton blooms by eutrophication. If the large portion of particulate organic matter produced in the surface water sink to the bottom sediment, this will cause the anoxic condition in this closed environment.

Saemangeum Lake is the largest artificial lake in Korea. The continuous deterioration of lake water quality necessitates the introduction of novel water quality management strategies. Therefore, this study aims to identify the spatiotemporal water quality characteristics of Saemangeum Lake using data from the National Water Quality Measurement Network and provide basic information for water quality management. In the water quality parameters of Saemangeum Lake, water temperature and total phosphorous content were correlated, and salt, total nitrogen content, pH, and chemical oxygen demand were significantly correlated. Other parameters showed a low correlation. The spatial principal component analysis of Saemangeum Lake showed the characteristics of its four zones. The mid-to-downstream section of the river affected by freshwater inflow showed a high nutrient salt concentration, and the deep-water section of the drainage gate and the lake affected by seawater showed a high salt concentration. Two types of water qualities were observed in the intermediate water area where river water and outer sea water were mixed: waters with relatively low salt and high chemical oxygen demand, and waters with relatively low salt and high pH concentration. In the principal component analysis by time, the water quality was divided into four groups based on the observation month. Group I occurred during May and June in late spring and early summer, Group II was in early spring (March-April) and late autumn (November-December), Group III was in winter (January-February), and Group IV was in summer (July-October) during high temperatures. The water quality characteristics of Saemangeum Lake were found to be affected by the inflow of the upper Mangyeong and Dongjin rivers, and the seawater through the Garuk and Shinshi gates installed in the Saemangeum Embankment. In order to achieve the target water quality of Saemangeum Lake, it is necessary to establish water quality management measures for Saemangeum Lake along with pollution source management measures in the upper basin.

Present studies were carried out to investigate the distribution and formation of organic tiers contained paddy soils in Honam area characteristics to give basic informations on the effective utilization, management and improvement of the soils. The results obtained were summarized as follows; 1. The extent of organic tiers contained paddy soils in Honam area were 6.538㏊ and the amount of peat deposits were presumed about 2.41 million M/T. 2. Out of the total extent of the organic tiers contained paddy soils, about 97.6% was distributed in Honam plains (water-sheds of Mangyeong-Dongjin river), while about 1.5% in the Naju plains (water-sheds of Yeongsan river), and 0.9% in the Wando and Yeocheon areas. 3. The period of peat formation was presumed to be about the early of Seung Moon period (B.C. 4,250), and the Gongdeog series and the Bongnam series were formed in the bog conditions close to the valley mouth of near rolling and hill with small steram channels, and the Gimje series was formed in the out-skirts plains of the Gongdeog and Bongnam soils. 4. In the casue of peat formation, it was presumed to be the Gimje series that accumulated the fibrous peat out of the autochthonous peat such as reeds and grasses etc, to be the Gongdeog and Bongnam series that accumulated the autochtonous peat and the xylem and fibrous peat out of first allochthonous peat. 5. In the Organic horizons of these soils, the range of muck and peat horizons were in 62-68cm and 68-137cm of soil profile in the Gongdeog series, 52-84cm and 84-113cm in the Bongnam series respectively, one of muck horizon was in 46-71cm in the Gimje series. 6. The marks of soil horizons of the soils were expressed that the lower soils than the horizon of muck and peat were formed Cg, Aag for the muck horizon, 0 for the peat horizon, 0 of peat horizon were distingushed with Oag and Oig according to Organic forms. 7. The depthe occurred the muck and peat horizons were positively correlated with the width of local in the Gongdeog series ($r=0.881^{**}$, $r=0.827^{**}$), but not in the Bongnam series and Gimje series.
