Bacterial numbers, such as endospore-formers, and treatment efficiencies were investigated for Rotating Activated Bacillus Contactors (RABC) and other advanced wastewater treatment processes including anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O), sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and biological aerated filter (BAF). Endospore-forming bacterial numbers in the RABC showed 129-fold higher levels than those of the existing advanced systems. RABC process demonstrated the highest bacterial numbers in its bioreactors (paired t-test, p<0.01). RBC biofilms and aeration tanks of the RABC system showed 131- and 476-fold higher than other existing advanced processes, respectively. Mean treatment efficiencies of the existing systems were 83.5% for chemical oxygen demand (COD), 59.1% for total nitrogen (TN) and 76.8% for total phosphorus (TP). However, RABC process removed 96.9% for COD, 96.9% for TN and 91.9% for TP for highly concentrated food wastewater (COD>1,500 mg/L, TN>150 mg/L, TP>50 mg/L). Treatment efficiency was significantly reduced when the numbers of Bacillus genus in the bioreactors decreased below $10^6CFU/mL$. The automated RABC (A-RABC), in which dissolved oxygen concentrations are automatically controlled, showed higher treatment efficiencies compared to the RABC process. The RABC system maintained sufficient bacterial numbers for the effective treatment of highly concentrated food wastewater. Moreover, final effluent was in agreement to water quality standards.

The objectives of this research were to determine mean and maximum tolerance ranges of Carassius auratus ($C_a$) and Cyprinus carpio ($C_c$) populations on various physico-chemical parameters and ecological indicator metrics. Little is known about chemical tolerance ranges of the two species, even though these species are widely distributed species in aquatic ecosystems. Maximum tolerance ranges of $C_a$-population to total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were $20.3mgL^{-1}$ and $2.0mgL^{-1}$, respectively. Optimal ranges of TN and TP in the $C_a$-population were $1.7-5.0mgL^{-1}$ and $0.06-0.30mgL^{-1}$, respectively. Such nutrient regimes of the $C_a$-population were evaluated as hypereutrophy, indicating high tolerance limits. The $C_c$-population had similar ecological characteristics to $C_a$-population, but the mean tolerance ranges of TN, TP, BOD, and COD were significantly (p < 0.05) greater than the $C_a$-population. Ecological patterns of trophic composition and tolerance guilds in the $C_a$-population were similar to those of the $C_c$-population. The model value of Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) of the habitat where C. auratus and C. carpio co-occurred averaged $15.0{\pm}4.3$ and $12.9{\pm}3.6$, respectively. Based on the modified criteria of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (Klemm et al. 1993), it indicated poor ecological health of both species. These results suggest that both species are highly tolerant to chemical and physical habitat conditions of waterbodies, and that the chemical tolerance range of $C_c$-population was higher than $C_a$-population.

The tributaries of Daechung Lake play an important role in controlling eutrophication in the lake, which is used for agricultural purposes and as potable water. However, water quality properties were not extensively studied in the tributaries of Daechung Lake. The objectives of this study are to investigate spatial and temporal properties of water quality and to characterize streams which could threaten water quality of Daechung Lake. For this study, water samples were weekly or monthly collected from February 2014 to October 2014 in 9 streams. Water quality parameters analyzed in this study include biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen and phosphorus (TN and TP), suspended solids (SS), and chlorophyll a. Based on temporal distribution and principal component analysis, BOD, COD, TOC, SS, and TP were controlled by not only river discharge that increased during summer due to heavy rain fall, but also due to anthropogenic input (e.g., bridge construction and/or agricultural activity). Dilution is also one of the factors explaining TN and conductivity, both of which decreased with increased discharge. Generally, concentrations of contaminants (BOD, COD, TOC, TN and TP) in the tributaries were higher than those of Daechung Lake. However, pollution load indicated that only the main channel of Geum River and Sook Stream may largely influence lake waters, attributed mostly to their large volumes. This implies that the main channel and Sook Stream are the major influences on the water quality of Daechung Lake.

연안오염총량관리제는 지자체에 오염물질부하량을 할당하고, 오염부하 삭감뿐만 아니라 바람직한 지역발전에 있어서 아주 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 광양만특별관리해역의 총량관리 도입에 앞서 해역으로 유입하는 오염물질의 유입부하와 광양만 해역의 수질상태를 조사하였고, 현재 연안오염총량관리를 실시하고 있는 다른 해역의 장기적인 현황을 살펴보았으며, 수회에 걸쳐 광양만 특별관리해역 환경자문위원회의 의견을 수렴하였다. 그 결과, 광양만에도 총량관리의 필요성이 인정되었으나, 시행에 앞서 우선 COD, TN, TP, 중금속, PAHs의 지속적인 모니터링과 함께 총량관리 도입의 경제성과 효율성과 같은 타당성 검토가 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

금강 하구호의 수질 특성을 파악하기 위하여 1998년 1월부터 1999년 9월까지 매월 조사하였다. 수질 인자 중 TN, TP, chl-a 및 투명도의 평균값은 각각 3,900 ${\mu}$g N/l, 160 ${\mu}$g P/l, 73 ${\mu}$g/l 및 0.8m로서 부영양화 특성이 잘 나타났다. TN 중에서 유기질소가 66%, 무기질소가 34%를 차지하였고 무기질소 중에서 NH$_{4}$와 NO$_{3}$는 각각 30%와 70%를 점유하였다. 또한 TP에 대한 SRP의 비율은 9% 이하였다. TN/TP 및 DIN/SRP비는 겨울에 높고 여름에 낮았다. SRSi는 0${\sim}$3.0 mg Si/l 범위로 변동 폭이 컸고 하계에 매우 높았으며 SRSi가 장기간 고갈되는 양상도 관찰되어 SRP와 더불어 담수조류(규조류)의 생장에 영향을 줄 수 있는 제한영양염으로 추정되었다. Chla는 동${\cdot}$하계에 각각 113 ${\mu}$g/l, 162 ${\mu}$g/l로서 월등히 높았고 이 시기는 규조류 Stephanodiscus와 남조류 Microcystis가 번무하는 시기였다. 하구 저수지의 수질오염도는 과영양상태로 평가되어 이에 대한 수질관리가 매우 시급한 것으로 판단되었다.

고속도로는 많은 자동차 운행대수와 함께 높은 주행속도 및 급격한 주행속도 변화구간(휴게소, 영업소 등)으로 인하여 비점오염물질의 배출이 높은 지역에 해당한다. 국내 고속도로는 절토층 및 성토층에 조성됨으로써 적정 토양침투량 확보가 어려워 다양한 종류의 비점오염저감시설이 설치되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구는 토양치환 기법에 대한 연구를 통해 고속도로에 설치 가능한 시설의 종류를 확대하고 비용효율적 침투시설의 설계를 유도하기 위하여 수행되었다. 침투율이 낮은 원지반에 토양치환을 수행할 경우 시설 내 체류시간이 약 30% 지연되고, 시설 내 침투 및 저류율은 약 20% 증대하며, 비점오염물질 Total Suspend Soiled (TSS), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand(BOD), Total Nitrogen(TN) 및 Total Phosphorus(TP) 제거효율이 약 20% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 원지반 내 침투율이 낮은 곳에 토양치환을 수행할 경우 저류량, 체류시간 및 침투면적이 증가하여 침투율이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 원지반 토양의 침투능이 낮은 토양에 침투시설을 적용하기 위해서는 물환경보전법 시행규칙 별표17(비점오염저감시설의 설치기준)의 개선이 필요하며, 이 경우 토양 침투율이 시간당 13 mm 이하일 때 토양치환을 통해 법적 처리용량을 확보하도록 요구할 수 있다.

Spatial and temporal analyses of water qualities were performed for 11 monitoring stations located in Mangyung watershed in order to analyze the trends of monthly water quality data of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) measured from 1995 to 2004. The long-term trends were analyzed utilizing Seasonal Mann-Kendall test, LOWESS and three-dimensional graphs were constructed with respect to distance and time. The graph can visualize spatial and temporal trend of the long-term water quality in a large river system. The results of trend analysis indicated that water quality of BOD and TN showed the downward trend. This quantitive and quantitative analysis is the useful tool to analyze and display the long-term trend of water quality in a large river system.

Two climate change scenarios, the RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) 4.5 and the RCP 8.5 in the fifth Assessment Report (AR5) by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), were applied in the Yocheon basin area using the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model to estimate changes in flow rates and pollutant loadings in the future. Field stream flow rate data in Songdong station and water quality data in Yocheon-1 station between 2013~2015 were used for model calibration. While $R^2$ value of flow rate calibration was 0.85 and $R^2$ value of water qualities were in the 0.12~0.43 range. The total study period was divided into 4 sub periods as 2030s (2016~2040), 2050s (2041~2070) and 2080s (2071~2100). The predicted results of flow rates and water quality concentrations were compared with results in calibrated periods, 2015s (2013~2015). In both RCP scenarios, flow rate and TSS (Total Suspended Solid) loadings were estimated to be in increasing trend while TN (Total Nitrogen) and TP (Total Phosphorus) loadings showed decreasing patterns. Also, flow rates and pollutant loadings showed larger differences between the maximum and the minimum values in RCP 4.5 than RCP 8.5 scenarios indicating more severe effect of drought and flood, respectively. Dependent on simulation period and rainfall periods in a year, flow rate, TSS, TN and TP showed different trends in each scenario. This emphasizes importance of considerations on time and space when analyzing climate change impacts of each variable under various scenarios.
