A correlation analysis between raw water turbidity at two wide-area water treatment plants and hydrological data was conducted for efficient water supply, design and management of water treatment plant. Both correlation analysis and principal component analysis were conducted using hydrological time series data such as inflow discharge, outflow discharge, and rainfall at dam basin of intake station of wide-area water treatment plants. And, forecasting of change in turbidity was conducted using regression equation for turbidity prediction. The raw water turbidity of two water treatment plants was strongly related to time series of discharge. The raw water turbidity of Chungju water treatment plant is strongly related to outflow discharge at Chungju dam (0.708). Whereas, the raw water turbidity of Wabu water treatment plant is strongly related to inflow discharge at Paldang dam (0.805). Similar trends between turbidity forecasting result using regression equation and calculation result using estimation equation on Korea water supply facilities standard were obtained. The result of this study can provide basic data for construction and management of water treatment plant.

In an effort to identify structure and function of microbial loop in Paldang reservoir, we monitored environmental and biological factors at Kyungan stream (station K), Paldang dam (station P) and the confluence of North and South Han River (station M) from March to December, 2005. DOC concentration was higher in March to May and November than the others. Nutrient concentration in station K detected relatively higher than that of two stations. Both of phosphate and silicate gradually increased at all stations until September, after then decreased. The highest Chl-$\alpha$ concentration was observed at all stations in April, and November. The carbon biomass of bacteria and HNF were relatively higher in March, May and August than the others, whereas that of the ciliate showed no significant difference in monthly fluctuation. Nevertheless, the significant relationships revealed between ciliate (P<0.001) and HNF (P<0.05) and bacterial density. Tintinnopsis cratera, Didinium sp., Vorticella sp., Paramecium sp. and Strombidium sp. were dominant species in ciliate community. The dominant species of phytoplankton were Stephanodiscus hantzschii and Cyclotella meneghiniana at almost stations in Spring, Summer and Autumn. However, Aulacoseira granulata accounted for >95% of phytoplankton biomass at station P and M in Autumn. The carbon biomass of zooplankton was highest at station P and M in June, and relatively higher biomass observed at all stations in August, October and November. Diaphanosoma brachyurum and Bosmina longirostris were dominant in stations P and M of June and in all stations of October and November, respectively. The maximum growth (A. granulata: $0.17\;d^{-1}$, S. hantzschii: $0.14\;d^{-1}$) and grazing rate (A. granulata: 1.93 preys $d^{-1}$, S. hantzschii: 1.63 preys $d^{-1}$) of Bosmina longirostris revealed in algal preys as Aulacoseira granulata and Stephanodiscus hantzschii. In conclusion, these results suggest that bacteria and phytoplankton can play the most crucial source as prey within microbial food chain in Spring and Summer and grazing food chain in Autumn, respectively.

Organic carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of particulate organic matter (POM) were determined at 7 stations (6 stations in Han river and Paldang dam outflow station) from May to October 2013, in order to understand the origin of POM at the Han river. ${\delta}^{13}C$ values of POM in four stations showed significant seasonal changes season, but ${\delta}^{15}N$ values were enriched in around Kyeongan stream (K). POC, PN and Chl-a concentration showed a similar seasonal pattern in Kyeongan stream, with an apparent decrease from July to August. POC and PN concentration has a higher correlation with Chl-a concentration in Kyeongan stream (K). ${\delta}^{13}C$ and ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of POM has a lighter value during lower Chl-a concentration peroid, compared to other seasons. Our results revealed that Kyeongan stream (K) seemed to be influenced by substantial amount of organic manure or fertilizer input in 2013, compared to the previous year (2012). These results suggest that the analysis of stable isotope ratios is a simple but useful tool for the identification of organic matter origin in aquatic environments.

This study was conducted to clarify the characteristics of bird community in Han River area from Oct. 1997 to Jul. 1998. Total 107 bird species were recorded in Han River area. Bird mainly distributed around Kangdong Bridge, Paldang Dam, Yangsuri, Haengju Bridge, Sungsan Bridge, and Bam island. The area between Dongiak Bridge and Youngdong Bridge showed the lowest the density of birds. The dominant birds of Han River area were the dabbling ducks, which were Anas platyrhynchos and A. poecilorhyncha. Diving ducks were distributed in the Dongiak Bridge, Youngdong Bridge, and estuary area. Grebes, Gulls, Herons, and Coots were also dominant bird species. Cormorants, Swans, Sandpipers, and Plovers were minor birds in Han River area. Maintenance and management of various micro-habitats are needed for habitation of bird community in Han River area.

The numerical model for the flood routing at the downstream of the Han river is established by using Preissmann's four-point linear implicit finite difference scheme. It is approved by the applications of this model to the selected four flood events that the released discharge hydrograph at Paldang dam which is used as upstream boundary condition of this model is better than the discharge hydrograph at Goan site. Such a result is due to the poor reliability of rating curve at Goan site. As its alternative, new rating curve at Goan site is proposed by means of applications of this numerical flood routing model. The variations of Manning's roughness coefficient may be negligible in view of the flood routing results.

The objectives of this study are to develop a state-space form of stochastic dynamic storage function routing model and to test the model performance for real-time flow forecast. The selected study area is the main Han River starting from Paldang Dam site to Indogyo station and the 13 flood events occurred from 1987 to 1998 are selected for computing model parameters and testing the model performance. It was shown that the optimal model parameters are quite different depending on Hood events, but the values used on field work also give reasonable results in this study area. It is also obvious that the model performance from the stochastic-dynamic model developed in this study gives more accurate and reliable results than that from the existing deterministic model. Analysis for allowable forecast lead time leads that under the current time step the reasonable predicted downstream flows in 5 hours time advance are obtained from the stochastic dynamic model on relatively less lateral inflow event in the study area.

Volcanic ash components of Mt. Baekdu were estimated to response the change of water quality environment affected by Mt. Baekdu volcanic ash ejected during eruption. Then the change of water concentrations according to the sedimentation of volcanic ash components were analysed. To estimate volcanic ash components of Mt. Baekdu, similar volcanos were selected through the comparison of main foreign volcano's magma type and the selected volcanic ash components supposed as Baekdu Mountain's. To analyse the change of water concentrations, the change of harmful components affected by volcanic ash sedimentation were analysed and the results were compared with domestic drinking water quality standard. As the result, Al, Cd, F, Fe, Pb, Mg, Cl and Sr could affect to water quality. Among those components, concentrations of Cd, F, Fe, Pb and Mg were estimated to exceed the drinking water quality standard.

We divided the downstream of South-Han River into three water zones, such as river zone, transition zone and lacustrine zone depending on the flow rate, and elucidated the major effect factors on the growth of phytoplankton and the sources of organic matters in each water zone. The difference of chlorophyll-a concentration which represents the standing crop of phytoplankton was statistically significant among the water zones. From the results of bivariate correlation analysis between chlorophyll-a concentration and water quality parameters in each water zone, the outflow of Chungju dam and hydraulic retention time of Lake Paldang which are directly related with the flow rate seemed to have obvious impact on phytoplankton growth in the downstream of South-Han River. The concentration of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen exceeded the criterion of eutrophication and did not showed significant relationship with chlorophyll-a concentration. There were strong correlations between $BOD_5$ and chlorophyll-a concentrations in transition and lacustrine zone showing autochthonous production of phytoplankton was dominant source of organic matters in these zones especially in dry seasons. The results of this study show that the control of abundance of phytoplankton is the key target for reduction of the organic pollution in the downstream of South-Han River.

일차생산은 화학합성 또는 광합성에 의하여 무기탄소가 유기물질로 전환되는 것을 의미한다. 한강은 하류로 갈수록 유속이 느리지만 수심이 깊어져 부착조류가 서식하기 쉽지 않은 환경이기에 대부분의 일차생산자는 식물플랑크톤이다. 선행연구와 비교 결과, 한강 본류의 부영양화가 여름철에 발생하고 있으며 팔당댐 방류량과 지류의 유입에 의한 유기물 증가로 하천 내 1차 생산의 기여도가 증가하고 있고, 이는 유기물 근원을 판정하여 수질오염에 대한 처리대책을 위해 지속적으로 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 한강본류에서 식물플랑크톤의 일차생산력을 조사하고, 유기물의 분해속도를 측정하여 당해 유역의 유기물 수지를 추정하여 한강 고유의 특성과 지류에서 기인할 수 있는 부영양화 기여도를 파악하여 부영양화에 의한 유기물 증가로 발생할 수 있는 수질오염을 예측하고자 한다. 조사유역은 한강의 팔당댐 방류구로부터 신곡수중보까지 전 구역 중 총 12개의 지점을 선정하였다. 기간은 2021년 5월부터 2022년 3월까지 계절별 2회로 총 8회 조사를 실시하였으며, 한강본류에서는 식물플랑크톤의 산소소비법을 통해 일차생산력과 유기물 분해속도를 조사하여 내부기원 유기물을 측정하였고, 한강본류로 유입되는 4개의 유입하천에서는 COD를 조사하여 외부기원 유기물을 측정하여 한강에서 발생하는 총유기물량을 산정하였다. 연구 결과, 하류 지점으로 갈수록 일차생산량이 점차 중가하였으며 지천이 유입되는 안양천, 탄천지점에서 유기물분해 속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 이는 수온 상승으로 인한 미생물 활성도가 높아져 식물플랑크톤의 일차생산량이 증가한 것으로 사료된다. 또한 여름 조사 전 강우에 의한 팔당댐 방류량 증가로 인해 식물플랑크톤 현존량이 다른계절에 비해 비교적 낮았지만, 호수의 부영양호 기준보다 높게 나타나 부영양한 수체로 판단하였다.

팔당댐 유역은 수도권 2600만 인구의 상수원으로, 수도권 전체 물 소비량의 90.2%에 달하는 물을 공급하고 있어 중요성이 상당히 크다. 하지만 기후변화로 한반도에 극한기후의 발생 빈도가 증가하면서 미래 수자원 관리가 더욱 어려워질 전망이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 모형 구축을 통해 기후변화가 팔당댐 유역의 수자원에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 본 연구는 저수량이 높은 다목적댐이자 상류에 위치하는 소양강댐, 충주댐의 유역의 유입량을 수문모형인 VIC model로 모의하였다. 댐의 존재에 따른 하류의 유량 교란을 고려하기 위해 딥러닝 기반의 LSTM 예측 모형을 활용하였고 각 댐의 방류량을 예측하였다. 보정 기간(1986-2019), 검증 기간(2020)에 대한 방류량 예측 모형의 NSE는 0.9407, 0.6449로 높은 예측성능을 보였다. 팔당댐 유입량 예측에도 LSTM이 활용되었고 소양강댐, 충주댐의 방류량과 두 유역을 제외한 잔여유역의 기상변수인 강우량, 온도, 풍속이 입력되었다. 팔당댐 유입량 예측 모형의 NSE는 보정 기간(1986-2019), 검증 기간(2020)에 대해 각 0.9990, 0.7878로 유입량을 정확도 높게 예측하였다. 기후변화의 영향을 평가하기 위해 기상청에서 제공하는 RCP4.5의 상세화된 고해상도(1km) 미래 기상자료를 구축된 모형에 입력하여 미래의 팔당댐 유입량을 모의하였다. 모의 결과, 미래 기간에는 팔당댐 일 유입량의 변동성이 증가하면서 유황이 불안정해지고 극한에 해당하는 빈도 갈수량이 크게 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 따라서 극한기후로 인해 물 공급이 제한되는 재난 상황에 대비하여 물 공급에 대한 자립성을 높일 수 있는 새로운 물관리 정책이 필요할 것이다.
