유역내에서 발생한 고탁수는 저수지로 유입됨으로써 용수 공급에 지장을 초래하고, 수환경 악화 및 하류지역의 정수비용 부담을 가중시키는 등 사회, 경제적으로 여러 가지 문제를 일으키고 있다. 우리나라 대부분의 다목적댐은 홍수기에 탁수로 인하여 다양한 문제를 겪고 있다. 탁수문제는 수중생태계를 파괴하고, 상수원을 오염시키며, 물이 가지는 관광자원으로서의 가치를 심각하게 훼손시키는 등 심각한 문제를 야기 시키고 있다. 특히, 최근에는 잦은 이상 집중강우 현상 때문에 탁수의 장기화 문제가 대두되면서 중요한 사회문제로 떠오르고 있다. 수자원의 효율적 이용을 극대화하기 위한 댐의 연결사업은 탁수의 인위적인 외곡이 발생하기 때문에 적절한 조절을 통해 그 영향을 최소화할 필요가 있다. 댐에서 물의 밀도는 온도, 염도 및 탁도 등의 변화로 인하여 일정하지 않고 시간과 공간에 따라 변화하며, 일반적으로 혼합되지 않고 밀도와 두께가 다른 층에 분리되어 존재한다. 여름철 집중 강우 시 유입되는 고탁수층은 저수지의 밀도성층으로 인하여 표수층 하부에 위치하며, 이를 적기에 배제하지 않을 경우에는 수평방향의 확산현상과 연직방향의 전도현상으로 인해 저수지 전역에 분포하게 되어, 탁수현상의 장기화를 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 EFDC의 댐의 수리 및 수질예측모형을 이용해 여름철 집중강우시 유입되는 고탁수의 도달시간과 탁수량 등을 예측 평가하였다. 댐의 취수탑이 설치되는 위치는 댐의 상류측으로 일반적인 댐 주변의 온도 및 탁수거동과는 다르기 때문에 이 부분을 반영하여 평가하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 EFDC의 댐 수리 및 수질예측모형을 이용하여 여름철 댐으로 유입되는 탁수거동을 평가하고, 댐 연결터널로 유입되는 취수탑 앞의 탁수농도를 예측하여 적절한 선택취수를 통해 댐 연결로 인한 고탁수의 댐간 이동을 최소화하기 위한 취수설비 운영방안을 제시하였다. 총 6개의 홍수사상('99년 홍수, '02년 루사, '03년 매미, '06년 에위니아, '09년 홍수 등)을 선정하여, 홍수사상에 대한 시단위의 유입량자료를 이용하여 양 댐간 연결로 인한 탁수거동을 분석하였다.

We propose an algorithm to detect large Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide event that was appeared in Korean coastal waters. This algorithm is based on two-stage filtering using MODIS chlorophyll information. Most of the red tide detection studies generally use assumption that sea water having high chlorophyll concentration is red tide events because of high correlation and red tide. However, these methods generate many commission errors such as turbid water by detecting inactive sea water of red tide. Therefore, we eliminated commission errors by applying two stage filtering and verified the algorithm's effectiveness by detecting large Cochlodinium polykrikoides red tide event that was appeared in Korean coastal waters.

우리나라의 강우 특성은 하절기에 집중되어 있으며 최근 이상강우와 기상이변에 따른 집중호우 발생으로 여를철 탁수 문제 발생 빈도가 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 과거 '02년 태풍 루사', '03년 태풍 매미', '06년 에위니아'부터 20년 마이삭, 하이선과 같은 태풍 및 장마에 의해 탁수 유입이 급증되어 수중 탁도가 높아지며 저수지 탁수 문제가 발생하였다. 특히 우리나라 경우 하천 및 저수지에서 물 사용량의 대부분을 이용하고 있기에 탁수 문제가 장기화 될 시 댐 하류 지역의 농업, 공업, 수생태 등 사회적, 비용적, 환경적 문제를 발생시킨다. 이러한 문제를 파악, 대응을 위한 탁수 모의에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 탁수를 모의하기 위해서는 유량, 수온, SS, 탁도 데이터가 필요하며 이를 위해 국가측정망에서 하천 및 댐 저수지 내 SS를 측정하여 탁수를 측정 하고 있다. 하지만 현재 측정의 경우 채수를 통한 점단위의 측정으로 데이터 해상도가 낮다는 한계점이 있다. 이러한 데이터 취득의 한계로 기존 조사를 통한 탁도-SS 관계식을 통해 탁수를 예측하고 있으나 과거 2003년 이후 자료를 바탕으로 산정된 식으로 불확도가 존재한다. 탁수 모의 정확도 개선을 위한 데이터 해상도 및 탁도-SS 관계식 문제를 해결 하기 위해 기존 데이터 분석을 통한 미계측 기간에 대한 보간을 필요로 하며 현장 계측을 통한 탁도, SS 자료를 취득하여 탁도-SS 관계식을 최신화 할 필요가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 탁도를 측정 센서 YSI와 SS 측정센서 레이저부유사측정기(LISST: Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometry)를 활용하여 자료를 취득하고 탁도-SS 산정식을 최신화 하였다. 또한 기존 국가 수질 측정망 데이터 및 기상 자료 데이터를 취득하여 데이터 분석을 통해 미계측 기간에 대한 데이터를 보간하여 탁수 모의 입력자료를 개선하였고 이를 기반으로 탁수 모의 정확도를 개선하고자 하였다.

This study analyzed the relationship between water turbidity and its reflectance, as measured using hyperspectral imaging. First, samples of turbid water were generated in boxes. This was followed by drone-based hyperspectral imaging and analysis of the correlation between the samples' measured turbidity and hyperspectral reflectance. The nine boxes for turbidity measurement were made of black acrylic that absorbed all light turbidity was induced using soil collected near Changhacheon, which causes turbidity in Imha Lake. The results indicate that the reflectance of wavelengths in the near-infrared region followed a pattern of increase with increasing soil content for each box. Analysis of this correlation between the turbidity and average reflectance measured in each box yielded a very high R² value of 0.8702, indicating that reflectance is a suitable proxy for turbidity.

Any significant inflow of fresh water due to flood or snow melting can rapidly reduce salinity at the bay. In such a case, the habitat environment in the sea near river mouth can be partly destroyed. Therefore, research to understand the salinity distribution quantitatively at the bay for the utilization of natural environment and for the inhabitant conservation must be very important. In this study, the investigation on the relationship between satellite image and turbidity is carried out first, and then the salinity distribution at the bay using the relationship between turbidity and salinity is derived. The main results are as follows. First the reappearance ability of RGB bands respectively of the satellite image is investigated, and then it was confirmed that the combination of band2 and band3 expressed best the movement characteristics of turbid water at the bay is chopped up into 4 small areas. Second the turbidity of river mouth is estimated using the travel time from the upward monitoring station to the river mouth. Finally the satellite image is converted into the salinity distribution by the correlation of salinity and turbidity. It is confirmed that the salinity distributions obtained from above three investigation methods are quite reasonable and clear.

Phase behavior of a PEO-PPO-PEO (Pluronic P103) triblock copolymer in water is investigated using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and rheology. Pluronic P103 shows apparent two gel states in different temperature regions. The first sol-to-gel transition at a lower temperature (i.e., the hard gel I state) turns out to be the hexagonal microphase as evidenced by the combined SANS and SAXS and the frequency dependence of both G′ and G" in rheology. In contrast to the hard gel I, the second sol-to-gel transition (i. e., the hard gel II state) at a higher temperature represents the block copolymer micelles in somewhat disordered state rather than the ordered state seen in the hard gel I. Moreover, turbidity change depending only on the temperature with four distinct regions is observed and the large aggregates with size larger than 5,000 nm are detected with DLS in the turbid solution region. Based upon the present study, two different gelation mechanisms for aqueous PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymer solutions are proposed.

Aluminum coagulant was applied to two eutrophic lakes (Lake Sukchon, in Seoul, and a pond on the campus of Kangwon National University), to precipitate suspended particles and phosphate from the water column. Aluminum sulfate (alum) was used for seven treatments and polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was used for one treatment. The effect of treatment varied depending on the dose of alumium coagulant. Particles and phosphate were completely precipitated from the water column with a dose of 10.0 mgAl/l. Partial removal was observed at doses of 3.3 and 1.8 mgAl/l, but not at 0.45 mgAl/l. Therefore, coagulant should be applied at a dose over the threshold in order to remove particles effectively, which seems to be between 1.8 and 10.0 mgAl/l. The length of treatment effect was determined by new inputs of nutrients and particles from external sources. Renewal of pond water by stream water caused recovery of algal growth in Lake Sukchon, and rainfall runoff and ground water pumping caused a return of turbid water in the campus pond. During treatment there was no sign of decreasing pH, or harmful effects on fish or mussels. Aluminum coagulant may be an economically feasible alternative for water quality improvement when the external control of pollutant sources is difficult. However, repeated application is required when there is a renewal of lake water or new input of nutrients.

The phycocyanin pigment (PC) is a marker for cyanobacterial presence in eutrophic inland water. Accurate estimation of low PC concentration in turbid inland water is challenging due to the optical complexity and criticalforissuing an early warning of potentialrisks of cyanobacterial bloom to the public. To monitor cyanobacterial bloom in eutrophic inland waters, an approach is proposed to partition non-water absorption coefficient from measured reflectance and to retrieve absorption coefficient of PC with the aim of improving the accuracy in remotely estimated PC, in particular for low concentrations. The proposed inversion model retrieves absorption spectra of PC ($a_{pc}({\lambda})$) with $R^2{\geq}0.8$ for $a_{pc}(620)$. The algorithm achieved more accurate Chl-a and PC estimation with $0.71{\leq}R^2{\leq}0.85$, relative root mean square error (rRMSE) ${\leq}39.4%$ and mean relative error(RE) ${\leq}78.0%$ than the widely used semi-empirical algorithm for the same dataset. In particular, low PC ($PC{\leq}50mg/m^3$) and low PC: Chl-a ratio values of for all datasets used in this study were well predicted by the proposed algorithm.

Distribution, abundance and biomass of submerged macrophytes were assessed using a double-headed rake and an echo-sounder in the Keumpoong Reservoir to investigate the temporal and spatial variations of submerged macrophytes in a small agricultural reservoir located upstream. Slope steepness and water depth in the littoral zone were important controlling factors on flora and vegetation structure of submerged macrophytes. Biodiversity of submerged macrophytes was increased at a gentle slope of the littoral zone. The results of DCA (detrended correspondence analysis) showed that the structure of submerged vegetation depended on the depth of water. Submerged macrophytes were distributed at the maximum water depth of 2.8 m in the Keumpoong Reservoir. The area occupied by the submerged macrophytes was estimated at only 6% of the total reservoir area because of the steep slope of the littoral zone and the large annual water-level fluctuation of 3.5 m. The increase of water level and inflow of turbid water in the rainy season might reduce the biomass of submerged macrophytes in the reservoir. It may be concluded that submerged vegetation in the Keumpoong Reservoir, a small agricultural reservoir located at the upstream, appears to be particularly susceptible to water level fluctuations and slope steepness of the littoral zone.

Pebble matrix filtration (PMF) is a water treatment technology that can remove suspended solids in highly turbid surface water during heavy storms. PMF typically uses sand and natural pebbles as filter media. Hand-made clay pebbles (balls) can be used as alternatives to natural pebbles in PMF treatment plants, where natural pebbles are not readily available. Since the high turbidity is a seasonal problem that occurs during heavy rains, the use of newly developed composite clay balls instead of pure clay balls have the advantage of removing other pollutants such as natural organic matter (NOM) during other times. Only the strength properties of composite clay balls are described here as the pollutant removal is beyond the scope of this paper. These new composite clay balls must be able to withstand dead and live loads under dry and saturated conditions in a filter assembly. Absence of a standard ball preparation process and expected strength properties of composite clay balls were the main reasons behind the present study. Five different raw materials from industry wastes: Red Mud (RM), Water Treatment Alum Sludge (S), Shredded Paper (SP), Saw Dust (SD), and Sugar Mulch (SM) were added to common clay brick mix (BM) in different proportions. In an effort to minimize costs, in this study clay balls were fired to $1100^{\circ}C$ at a local brick factory together with their bricks. A comprehensive experimental program was performed to evaluate crushing strength of composite hand-made clay balls, using uniaxial compression test to establish the best material combination on the basis of strength properties for designing sustainable filter media for water treatment plants. Performance at both construction and operating stages were considered by analyzing both strength properties under fully dry conditions and strength degradation after saturation in a water bath. The BM-75% as the main component produced optimum combination in terms of workability and strength. With the material combination of BM-75% and additives-25%, the use of Red Mud and water treatment sludge as additives produced the highest and lowest strength of composite clay balls, with a failure load of 5.4 kN and 1.4 kN respectively. However, this lower value of 1.4 kN is much higher than the effective load on each clay ball of 0.04 kN in a typical filter assembly (safety factor of 35), therefore, can still be used as a suitable filter material for enhanced pollutant removal.
