This study was performed to evaluate the need for heating wastewater to enhance treatment efficiency of organic matter (BOD, SS) during cold winter in newly developed Absorbent Biofilter System (ABS) which was established in the Suwon Campus of the Seoul National University. Treatments consisted of non-heating (2000 year) and heating(2001, 2002 year), and sampled data were analyzed during cold winter period as well as post winter period to investigate the influence of heating after winter season. Even the average air temperature showed only $0.4^{\circ}C$ difference between two experimental years, the difference in the average effluent temperature during cold winter period between heating and non-heating experiment was approximately $11^{\circ}C$. The average effluent concentration of organic matter in non-heating treatment exceeded the Korean standards for water quality of discharged effluent in riparian area (BOD and SS 10 mg/L); however, the standards were met in case of heating treatment during both winter and post winter period. Therefore, the need fur heating wastewater during cold winter season in ABS was justified. On the other hand, there was no improvement of treatment efficiency in T-N and T-p, but we observed the more activated nitrification as increasing the wastewater temperature. Because the average underground temperature was $5^{\circ}C$ higher than the average air temperature during cold winter period, we recommend that the ABS can be established in the underground rather than on-ground for saving the heating cost.

This study aims to understand wetland distribution and type-specific classification features with a focus on Tumen River downstream in China by adjusting and improving the classification system used in Korea with a reference to international wetland classification systems and their criteria & methods. In this study, wetland types were determined based on hydrology, vegetation, and soil conditions, which are the most basic elements of wetlands. Also, topography analytical map, vegetation analytical map, and soil analytical map for wetland classification were developed and used based on currently available topography map, vegetation map, and soil map. In addition, codes were defined based on topography, location, hydrology, and vegetation. The result shows that, in the Tumen River downstream, wetlands are often found near natural revetment and terrace land & river-bed lakes. In the discovered wetlands, riverine, lacustrine, and inland wetlands were mostly found at system level. Riparian and human-made wetlands were also identified. At a sub-system level, perennial and seasonal wetlands were found to a similar degree. At a class level, perennial open water, herbal plants, and shrubs were mostly found and sandy plain, hydrophytes, and forest tree types were also observed. An overall detailed classification shows that a total of 17 wetland types were found and a large distribution of sand dunes and river-bed lakes, which are scarce in Northeast Asia, indicates that other rare wetland types such as palustrine seasonal sand plain wetland and lacustrine seasonal sand plain wetland may be discovered.

유역내 비점오염 부하량의 증가로 인하여 그동안 많은 수질 개선 노력이 진행되어 왔다. 그 중 하나의 대안으로 수변림 조성이 거론되고 있으나, 현재 수변림 조성에 따른 수질 개선 효과 평가 방법의 부재로 유역내 어느 곳에 어떠한 식생을 조성해야 할지 정확한 판단을 하기 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 SWAT-REMM Prototype 버전이 개발되었으나, 다른 유역에 적용하기에는 여러 가지 문제점을 나타내고 있다. 또한 SWAT-REMM Prototype 버전은 소하천내 모든 유역내 수변림을 조성한다는 가정하에 수변림 조성에 따른 수질개선효과를 모의 분석하는데 활용될 수 있다. 그러나 국내 상당부분의 하천에서는 여름철 집중강우로 인한 수해 발생으로 많은 구간이 석축과 같은 정비사업이 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 구간에 대해서 수질 개선을 목적으로 수변림을 조성한다는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 SWAT-REMM 시스템을 이용하여 유역 전체 모든 하천이 아닌, 하천 일부구간에 대해서 수변구역을 조성에 따른 효과 분석을 수행할 수 있는 기능에 대한 많은 요구가 있어 왔다. 이에 본 연구에서는 SWAT-REMM Prototype 버전의 여러 가지 기능을 수정 보완하였으며, 도암댐 유역내 모든 하천에 대해서 수변림 조성에 따른 수질 개선 효과를 모의 분석하였다. 수변림 조성은 1차 하천 (지천)에 대해서는 하천 양안 1m 정도의 초생대를 조성한다고 가정하였고, 최고 차수 하천인 도암댐 유입 송천에 대해서는 하천 양안 10m 의 수변림을 조성한다고 가정하여 수질 개선효과를 분석한 결과 상당량의 유사가 하천으로 유입되기 전 유역내 설치된 수변림에 의해서 저감되는 것으로 모의 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 분석한 수변림 조성 시나리오는 현실적으로 실행하기 어려운 점이 있기 때문에 수변림 조성 적지 분석후, 본 연구에서 개발된 하천 구간 수변림 조성 시나리오 모듈을 이용한다면, 보다 현실적인 수변림 조성에 따른 유사저감효과를 평가할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.(SWAT-REMM ArcView GIS: http://www.EnvSys.co.kr/$\sim$swat-remm)

Growth and nitrogen retention of Persicaria thunbergii were investigated in the wetland microcosms which contained the plants growing on soil bed. Nitrogen solution was supplied to the microcosms with the same amount of $NH_4^{+}-N\; and\; NO_3^{-}-N$ at the rates of 0.00, 0.78, 1.57, 3.14g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdor}wk^{-1}$ from May 1 to August 31, 1995. The solution was detained for 5 days to react with soil and plant and then allowed to leach. The contents of NH_4^{+}-N\;and\; NO_3^{-}-N$ in the leachate, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, plant biomass, and soil characteristics were determined. Nitrogen retained by plant was estimated as the increment of TKN in plant biomass. The addition of 0.78 and 1.57g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}wk^{-1}$ resulted in significant increase of plant biomass. However, plant growth was inhibited when nitrogen was added at the rate of 3.14g $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}wk^{-1}$. Overall, the plant biomass was positively correlated with the amount of nitrogen retained by plant and soil system. The amounts of $NO_3^{-}-N$ leached from the microcosms were 5~10 times higher than those of $NH_4^{+}-N$. While total nitrogen added ranged from 143.2 to 576.5g $N/m^2$, total leaching loss of inorganic nitrogen and nitrogen retained by plant was as little as 1.04~22.71g $N/m^2$, and 5.46~12.91g $N/m^2$, respectively. Then, the plant seemed to contribute to KDICical and microbial immobilization of nitrogen in the soil. Finally, it is suggested that a large portion of nitrogen added was lost into the air by denitrification and volatilizaton, and / or leached in organic forms.

The study is conducted to establish the National Protected Areas Integrated System(NPAIS) which includes National Protected Areas(NPAs) and other conservation measures in terms of effective ways for biodiversity conservation. Additionally, it is carried out to evaluate progress toward quantitative expansion goals in Aichi biodiversity Target 11. The NPAIS consists of NPAs and other effective area-based conservation measures(OECMs). There are two different types of OECMs. OECMs type I, including water-source protection Areas(WPA), riparian zones(RZ), fishery-resource protection zones (FPZ), and urban natural park zones(UNPZ), is a potential protected area which is recommended to be incorporated into the NPAs for effective management. OECMs type II means development restriction zones(DRZ), natural recreation forests(NRF), and buffer zones for Korea national arboretum(BKNA). As a result of evaluating the quantitative expansion goals of the NPAIS, terrestrial and inland water protected areas exceed 17% of the quantitative goal in Aichi biodiversity Target 11. The larger the area of individual OECMs and the lower the degree of overlap with NPAs, the higher the contribution of them to the terrestrial and inland water protected areas. DRZ contributes to enlarge more than 3% of quantitative expansion. And RZ and NRF contribute more than 1%. The marine protected areas are expanded by $1,425km^2$ through FPZ, but the expanded area is very small as comparing with the total marine area. It adds only 0.321% to the quantitative expansion. The rest of OECMs also has very poor quantitative expansion contributions in the marine area. Consequently, the NPAIS is effective for quantitative expansion of land areas, but not for marine areas.

The purpose of this study was evaluated on the applicability of Load Duration Curve Method (LDC Method) using HSPF watershed model and sampling data for efficient TMDLs in Korea. The LDC Method was used for assessment pollutant characteristics in watershed and water quality variation in each water flow level. Load Duration Curve is applied for judge the level of impaired water-body and can be estimated the impaired level by pollutant, such as BOD, T-N, and T-P in this study depending on variation of stream flow. As a result, BOD, T-P was usually exceed the standard value at low flow and dry hydrologic period. Improvement of effluent concentration from WWTP and riparian buffer protection zone are effective to improve the water quality. T-N showed the worst condition at mid-range hydrologic period and moist hydrologic period. Therefore, soil erosion control program and BMPs for non-point source pollution control is effective for recovery the water quality, which can be useful method for management of water quality in the plan of recovery water quality spontaneously. Applicability of LDC Method was evaluated in the Nakbon A watershed. However, we need to consider more detailed and accumulated data set such as accurate GIS data and detail pollution data, and WWTP discharge water quality data for accurate evaluation of watershed. Overall, The LDC Method is adequate for evaluation of watersheds characteristics, and its application is recommended for watershed management and TMDL Implementation.

우리나라는 그 동안 국토를 이용하고 관리함에 있어 생태적 계획에 입각한 지속가능한 보전 및 관리보다는 효율성과 경제성을 중심으로 한 개발지향적 논리에 초점을 맞춤으로써 국토 환경보전에 커다란 기여를 하고 있는 농경지 및 산지면적이 지속적으로 감소하고 있는 추세이다. 지역생태계의 가치에 대한 생태학적 인식이 부족한 가운데 이루어진 일련의 지속적인 개발압력은 자연환경의 자정능력을 초과하는 환경압력으로 작용함에 따라 지역생태계의 건전한 물질순환과 에너지 흐름에 부정적인 결과를 초래하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 물환경 문제해결을 위한 공간단위로서의 유역개념이 아닌 생태계를 평가하고 관리할 수 있는 공간 단위개념으로서 유역을 분석하기 위하여 다양한 경관요소가 혼재하고 있는 낙동강 유역권을 대상으로 경관구성 요소 중 토지이용을 중심으로 공간분석기법을 활용하여 서로 유사한 패턴을 보이는 유형으로 분류하고, 각 유형별 지역에 대한 특징을 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 광주천을 대상으로 수문학적 특성과 수문환경문제를 파악하고, 그 동안 하천복원 사업의 일환으로 실시되어온 하천유지수의 확보방안에 대한 문제점을 살펴보았다. 그 결과는 다음과 같이 기술할 수 있다. 건천화에 대한 대비책으로 방류되고 있는 하수처리수는 광주천의 물순환 기구를 따라 토양과 지하수를 오염시킬 위험성을 내포하고 있다. 그리고 상류부에 기저유출량이 약 $17,565m^3$/일 존재하지만, 그 대부분이 합류식 차집관거로 유입되어 하수처리장으로 직접 배출되고, 일부는 상류부에서 복류되어 지하수에 함양되고 있다. 또한 도시화에 의한 건천화의 영향으로 함양지역의 확대가 우려되고 있다. 따라서 자연적 물순환 기구를 크게 왜곡하지 않는 도시개발 즉 우수의 함양역을 적절하게 보호할 수 있는 효율적인 토지이용과 규제가 필요하며, 하천수와 지하수간의 교류가 활발한 하천상류부를 중심으로 분리식 하수도의 설치 확대 등을 통해 건전한 물순환 복원을 전제로 한 도심하천의 복원사업이 절실히 요망된다.

The Mekong which is one of the world's most significant rivers plays an extremely important role to South East Asia. Lying across six riparian countries including China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam and being a greatly biological and ecological diversity of fishes, the river supports a huge population who living along Mekong Basin River. Therefore, much attention has been focused on the giant Mekong Basin River, particularly, the soil erosion and sedimentation problems which rise critical impacts on irrigation, agriculture, navigation, fisheries and aquatic ecosystem. In fact, there have been many methods to calculate these problems; however, in the case of Mekong, the available data have significant limitations because of large area (about 795 00 km2) and a failure by management agencies to analyze and publish of developing countries in Mekong Basin River. As a result, the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model in a GIS (Geographic Information System) framework was applied in this study. The USLE factors contain the rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, slope length, steepness, crop management and conservation practices which are represented by raster layers in GIS environment. In the final step, these factors were multiplied together to estimate the soil erosion rate in the study area by using spatial analyst tool in the ArcGIS 10.2 software. The spatial distribution of soil loss result will be used to support river basin management to find the subtainable management practices by showing the position and amount of soil erosion and sediment load in the dangerous areas during the selected 56- year period from 1952 to 2007.

Visual MODFLOW was used for quantifying stream-aquifer interactions caused by seasonal groundwater pumping. A hypothetical conceptual model was assumed to represent a stream-aquifer system commonly found in Korea. The model considered a two-layered aquifer with the upper alluvium and the lower bedrock and a stream showing seasonal water level fluctuations. Our results show that seasonal variation of the stream depletion rate (SDR) as well as the groundwater depletion depends on the stream depletion factor (SDF), which is determined by aquifer parameters and the distance from the pumping well to the stream. For pumping wells with large SDF, groundwater was considerably depleted for a long time of years and the streamflow decreased throughout the whole year. The impacts of return flow were also examined by recalculating SDR with an assumed ratio of immediate irrigation return flow to the stream. Return flow over 50% of pumping rate could increase the streamflow during the period of seasonal pumping. The model also showed that SDR was affected by both the conductance between the aquifer and the stream bed and screen depths of the pumping well. Our results can be used for preliminary assessment of water budget analysis aimed to plan an integrated management of water resources in riparian areas threatened by heavy pumping.
