This study intends to provide the necessary basic data needed for predicting the water quality and examining changes in water quality on the basis of the hydrological changes: an outflow or the character of a flow by investigating the interaction of the parameters through the estimation of optimal parameters need for predicting the water quality of the dam basin and the sensitivity among those estimated parameters. Im-Ha Dam in the upstream area of the Nakdong River was selected for analysis, and the water quality survey data necessary for parameter estimation was based on the monthly water quality data (water temperature, BOD, T-N and T-P) between December 1, $2005{\sim}$November 31, 2006. K1C(the saturated growth rate of plant plankton), K1RC (endogenous respiratory quotient of plankton), KDC(deoxidized ratio), K71C(minealized ratio of dissolved organic phosphorus), K83C(mineralized ratio of dissolved organic nitrogen) have been considered as the factors of the water quality performed in this water quality simulation, that is, the most effective parameters on BOD, T-N and T-P. In the result of the analysis of the sensitivity, KDC(deoxidized ratio) was the most sensitively reacted parameter on BOD and it was K71C(mineralized ratio of dissolved organic phosphorus) and K83C(mineralized ratio of dissolved organic nitrogen) on T-N and T-P. It is considered that it will be possible to apply the most optimal parameter to an analysis of the water quality simulation at Im-Ha Ho basin in the goal year by examining the interaction of the parameters through the parameters sampling which are able to applicable to prediction of the water quality and the analysis of the its sensitivity, in the future, also the analysis on the basis of the hydrological conditions: an outflow or the character of a flow will be needed.

The trophic state assessment of the Hwoiya reservoir was estimated using the Trophic state indices (TSIs) of Carlson and Aizaki using the transparency and concentrations of chlorophyll-a and total phosphorus obtained from two sites of the reservoir. The TSIs assessments showed that eutrophic phenomena occur frequently in the Hwoiya reservoir. In addition, strategies to reduce the phosphorus especially would be prepared because the Hwoiya reservoir exceeded phosphorus-limiting state of 17 < TN/TP (total nitrogen/total phosphorus). Three scenarios for a simulation of the dredging effect of sediments on the water quality using the WASP7 model were made at two sites, which were 10% (scenario 1), 40% (scenario 2) and 60% elution of the pollutants from sediments (scenario 3). In the most elution case (60%), scenario 3, it was considered that 6.4% TN and 9.3% TP at site 1, and 3.9% TN and 5.6% TP at site 2 could be reduced.

Effects of Yongdam Dam discharge conditions on water quality of the Keum River and Daechung Lake inflow were analyzed for various scenarios using WASP5 water quality model. Three different groups of scenarios were tested: 1) Two different weather conditions; the lowest flow year and the highest flow year since the beginning of Daechung Dam operation in 1981, 2) Fine discharge flow rates; 5.4, 8.9, 12.4, 16.4 ㎥/s and field observed flow during the study period, 3) Three conditions of discharge water quality; first grade, second grade by Korean water quality standard and field observed water quality. Effect of changes in Yongdam Dam discharges was greater for dry year. The increase of discharge from the Yongdam Dam will improve water quality of downstream areas only when the water quality of the discharge is equal or better than that of downstream areas. Field observed water qualify data show that BOD concentrations are lower than first grade level but TN and TP concentrations are exceeding 5th and 3rd grade level in Korean standard, respectively. Considering that nutrient control methods in watershed areas of Yongdam dam are limited, it is expected that nutrient concentrations from Yongdam Dam discharge will be higher than 2nd grade water quality standard level. Therefore, it would be important to develop practical management strategies in the watershed area of Yongdam Dam based on field conditions for conservation of water quality in downstream areas.

Effects of establishments of more sewer systems on water quality in Nam River, Deokchun River, and Jinyang Lake were analyzed for various scenarios using QUAL2E, WASP 7 water quality model. Three different scenarios were tested: 1) 20.8% of sewer diffusion rate which is same to the existing condition. 2) Expansion of sewer system to 65.2% which would emit less pollutants, BOD 2350.5 kg/d, TN 216.0 kg/d, TP 44.0kg/d. 3) Pollutants emission to maintain first grade water quality in Nam River, Jinyang Lake, BOD and TN in the case 2 were 7.69%, 2.10% lower than those in the case 1 in the Nam River. And in the Jinyang Lake, BOD, TN, and TP in the case 2 were 10.25%, 1.37%, 2.94% lower than those in the case 1. However the simulations showed that water quality could not hold down first grade water quality standard level with the establishments of more sewer systems. To satisfy the criteria in the Nam River and Jinyang Lake, BOD emission must be reduced 27.2%, 37.05% compared to those in the case 1.

Water quality surveys has been performed to establish water quality improvement strategy for the lake Pyeungtaek, and WASP model was used to simulate to identify the effect of water quality improvement according to the reduction of pollutant loadings for the upstream watersheds. Assuming that present loadings was continued up to the future, the water quality of the lake was found to be getting worse resulting from the increase of pollutants due to the planned future development. In this study, we made various scenarios to predict the future water quality, scenario 6 made a large contribution to improve the lake water quality compared to others. Even the scenario 6, COD concentration of year 2016 in the lake was examined to be under the 4th rate of water quality level for the lake (COD less than 8 mg/L), similar to year 2021. Even though additional reduction of loadings for the scenario 6 was made, the water quality in lake was a little improvement, and was though to be inappropriate action in the economic point of view.

In this study, the reduction rates of nutrients were suggested to prevent eutrophication on the Hwaong reservoir in the year of 2008 and 2012. With EPA's WASP6 model, future water quality were simulated. In 2008, T-N would be 1.36mg/L and T-P 0.100mg/L on average. ; In 2012, T-N 2.66mg/L and T-P 0.128mg/L. With all the water quality management plans that the government authorities are carrying out, these results indicate that the reservoir would be reach the eutrophic or hypertrophic state according to the Vollenweider's trophic states. Therefore, the Hwaong reservoir requires additional plans for nutrients management. Here, the target water quality to prevent eutrophication of the reservoir sets into mesotrophic state ; T-N 0.475mg/L and T-P 0.02mg/L.(median of Vollenweider index for mesotropphic state) The reduction rates of nutrients on Namyang and Eoeun streams were estimated with uniform treatment method to meet the goal. The results showed that nutrients from two streams should be reduced up to 78% in 2008, and 84% in 2012. Since the ratio of T-N/T-P would be higher than 16 at target years, T-N was not considered as the limiting factor and was not reduced.

This study was carried out to forecast the flow rate and water quality at the inlet of the Saemangeum bay in Korea using the SWMM(Storm Water Management Model) and the WASP(Water Analysis Simulation Program), and to analyze the impacts of pollutant loading from non-point source on the water quality of the bay. The calibration and validation of flow rate and water quality were performed using those from two monitoring points in the Mankyeong river administrated by Korean Ministry of Environment as part of the national water quality monitoring network. When the river flow rate was calibrated and validated using the rainfall intensities during 2011-2012, $R^2$ (i.e., coefficient of determination) was ranged from 0.91 to 0.96. For water qualities, it was shown that $R^2$ of BOD(Biochemical Oxygen Demand) was ranged from 0.56 to 0.86, and $R^2$ of T-N(Total Nitrogen) was from 0.64 to 0.75, and $R^2$ of T-P(Total Phosphorus) was from 0.67 to 0.89. The integrated modeling system showed significant advances in the accuracy to estimate the water quality. Finally, further simulations showed that annual average flow of the river running into the bay was estimated to be $1.439{\times}10^9m^3/year$. The discharged load of BOD, T-N, and T-P into the bay were anticipated to be 618.7 ton/year, 331.5 ton/year, and 40.4 ton/year, respectively.

하구담수호는 하천의 종점에서 해양과 만나는 곳에 방조제를 건설해 담수를 유도하여 형성되는 인공호수이다. 유역 말단에 위치하기 때문에 유역에서 유출되는 모든 수자원을 확보할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 유역에서 발생하는 오염물질이 모두 유입되고 인공적인 담수의 특성 때문에 수질이 악화되기 쉬운 조건을 지니고 있다. 담수호의 수질관리는 유입되는 오염물질의 양이 많고 담수된 수자원량도 많으므로 부분적인 방법으로는 개선이 어려우며, 유역과 호소를 포함한 종합적인 대책이 필요하다. 담수호의 수질관리대책 수립은 크게 상류 유역에 대한 대책과 호소에 대한 대책으로 구분된다. 대표적인 대책으로는 상류 유역의 하수처리장, 축사, 농경지 관리를 통한 배출부하량 감소와 호소 내 수질개선을 위한 습지, 저류지 건설 및 준설을 통한 내부부하 감소 등이 있다. 이처럼 담수호의 수질관리를 위해서는 상류 유역에서 호소까지 종합적으로 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 유역모형과 호소모형의 연계를 통해 간월호 유역을 모의하였다. 유역모형은 HSPF(Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN) 모형을 사용하였으며, 유역 내 3개의 하수처리장과 1개의 분뇨처리장을 고려하였으며, 4개 지점에 대하여 보정 및 검정을 시행하였다. 호소모형은 EFDC-WASP 연계모형을 이용하였으며, HSPF에서 모의 된 유입량과 호내 설치된 4개의 양수장, 배수갑문 운영일지를 고려하여 모의하였다. 호소 내 수질 측정지점에 대하여 T-N, T-P에 대하여 보정 및 검정을 수행하였다. 본 연구는 담수호 수질관리를 위한 분석시스템 구축으로 추후 대책에 따른 효과분석에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents an experimental comparison between the conventional generation expansion planning and DSM incorporated one. As a DSM measure, diffusion of high efficient end-uses is considered and its impact will be targeted at the strategic energy conservation. A revised probabilistic production simulation is proposed by modifying the equivalent load duration curve (ELDC) with the capacity deconvolution of DSM end-use. To investigate long-term DSM impacts relative to the conventional planning, WASP model is applied and the effectiveness of DSM planning as an electricity resources is demonstrated.

Wien Automatic System Planning Package (WASP) which is used to draw out generation expansion planning applies Dynamic Programming in Korea power system panning. While this package has an advantage that computes annual capacity, it has a disadvantage that can't consider environmental constraints. With the effectuation of the Kyoto Protocol in February, 2005, it is expected that CO2 emission has a severe effect on Korean power system. Therefore, as the most important issue, the generation expansion planning considering environmental constraints is rising in power system. This paper develops a mathematic model including not only generation expansion planning but transmission planning and considering regional supply-demand and environmental constraints, especially CO2 emission, and verifies propriety through the case study.
