According to the spatial movements of the Nak-dong river watershed, the changes in heavy metal concentrations were simulated by WASP7.3. The risk assessment was performed using the predicted data of WASP7.3. The target heavy metal was manganese (Mn). In the simulated manganese data of WASP7.3, the average concentration by regions was from 0.03 mg/L to 0.07 mg/L. It is lower than drinking water standard in korea. The risk assessment was presented that it was high at the junction of Nak-dong river and Kumho river. It was influenced by the discharge of industrial complexes and large cities which were located in the junction. In comparison of drinking water standard and predicted data of WASP7.3 risk assessment, whole watershed was also low level at predicted data. However, to keep the similar risk value ($10^{-7}$) in adults and children anywhere, it requires the additional treatment of the point source discharges. It was also reflected by regions. Through this study, it was possible to evaluate heavy metal influence in unattainable monitoring regions and to estimate heavy metal addition and reduction by locations. Therefore, the outcomes of WASP7.3 can connect with the risk assessment and it can evaluate the safety of human by regions.

When the water quality modelling is done with a manual calibration, it is possible that the researcher's opinion may affect the objectivity of the research. Hence, the role of the automatic calibration is highly important. This research applies a technique to automatically calibrate the water quality parameters by implementing an optimization method. This involves estimating the optimum water quality parameters targeting influential parameters towards the lake's BOD, DO, Phosphorus, Nitrogen and Phytoplankton. To accurately calculate the water temperature and hydraulic characteristics of a deep, stratifying lake, EFDC, a 3-dimensional hydraulic model which can be linked to the WASP7 was applied. With EFDC, the segment of the lake is formed and utilized as an input data of the WASP7. For the calibration of the water quality parameters of the WASP7, an influence coefficient algorithm and a genetic algorithm was applied. Of the five water quality variables for calibration, the normalized residuals of the observed and calculated values of DO, TN, CBOD were relatively small and the three water quality variables were calibrated properly. Yet the accuracy of the calibration of TP and Chl-a was relatively low.

낙동강 하류지점인 물금은 2003년${\sim}$2005년의 대부분이 부영양화의 기준을 넘고 있다. 하구둑 건설이후, 담수화 된 하구둑 상부에서는 부영양화가 가속화되었다. 수질의 악화는 물론 강 생태계의 구조와 기능의 변화까지 초래되었다. 지난 $7{\sim}8$년 간 낙동강 하류 지역은 갈수기 식물성 플랑크톤 군집의 대거 번성으로 인한 부영양화로 연중 심각한 수질 오염문제를 야기하고 있다. 본 연구는 WASP 7.2 모형과 예측된 동물성플랑크톤을 이용하여 낙동강 유역의 하류 지역인 물금의 부영양화를 예측하는 것이다. 2005년의 관측값을 초기조건으로 고정하고 DO, $NO_3$-N, $PO_4$-P, 기상청에서 예보되는 기온을 사용하여 동물성 플랑크톤을 신경망 모형으로 예측한 뒤, 수온 대신 기상청의 기온을 입력하여 $1{\sim}3$일 후의 단기 수질을 예측하였다. 부영양화 예측결과와 2005년의 월별 수질 관측값을 통계량을 이용하여 분석하였다. $1{\sim}3$일 후의 예측결과 수질항목 중 부영양화의 기준이 되는 클로로필-a, 총 질소, 총 인의 경우는 예측기간 모두 관측값에 적합하게 모의되었다. WASP 7.2 모형의 수질항목 관측자료를 초기값으로 입력하고, 예측된 동물성 플랑크톤의 개체수와 기상청에서 예보되는 기온을 사용한 수질모의는 낙동강의 단기 수질예측에 유의한 의미가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study reports the serial use of a 3-D hydrodynamic model, EFDC-Hydro and a dynamic water quality model WASP7.2 that are maintained by USEPA. The 48 km section of the Geum River downstream between Daechung Dam and Gongju was selected as a sample study site. Topographical information was used to accurately represent morphology of the study site and boundary conditions were derived from governmental databases including WAMIS by Ministry of Land and Ocean and WEIS by Ministry of Environment. EFDC-Hydro was successfully calibrated for observed water level and WASP was calibrated using monthly observed water quality data obtained from the above sources. It was found that the current water quality target of BOD for the Geum River-H point could not be met on monthly basis though every other tributary of the area would meet its own water quality target as assigned in Korean TMDL. This study proposed the new target BOD water quality for the Gabcheon and Mihocheon as 4.3 and 3.6 mg/l, respectively so that the Geum River-H point can meet the target. When Sejong City is constructed, it is estimated that effluent discharge limit of BOD must be less than 4.5 mg/l to meet water quality of the point. This study shows that it is possible to carry out more precise modeling considering both water movement and water kinetics by using EFDC and WASP simultaneously.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of EFDC hydrodynamic result on the WASP7.3 water quality modeling result in accordance with the change of number of grid for the dam reservoir to be constructed. The simulated flow and BOD, T-N and T-P loads by the HSPF watershed model was used for boundary conditions and the hydrodynamic modeling results was linked with WASP model to predict future water quality after dam construction. The scenarios for EFDC modeling were composed of Scenario 1(141 grid cells) and Scenario 2(568 grid cells). The results of Scenario 2 showed that BOD, T-N, T-P and Chl-a concentrations were decreased 0.073mg/L(8.5%), 0.032mg/L(2.6%), 0.003mg/L(6.8%), 0.644mg/L(4.2%) compared with those of Scenario 1, respectively. As number of grid cell increased, water quality concentrations were decreased and also it caused the longer running time. Therefore, this study suggests that the consideration of the geometry of water body is more important than the number of grid cells for the prediction of water quality of a dam reservoir in EIA.

낙동강 하류지점인 물금은 2003년${\sim}$2005년의 대부분이 부영양화의 기준을 넘고 있다. 본 연구에서는 WASP 모형을 이용하여 낙동강 하류에서 부영양화의 주요원인이 되는 영양물질과 결과적으로 나타나는 Chl-a 농도변화를 모의하였다. Chl-a의 농도모의를 위한 주요 입력자료로서 측정된 동물성 플랑크톤의 개체수가 입력되었다. 선정된 수질조사 지점은 낙동강 본류(왜관, 고령, 적포, 남지, 하남, 낙동강 하구둑)와 지류인 금호강, 회천, 황강, 남강, 밀양강이다. 수질모의 구간은 낙동강 본류(왜관${\sim}$낙동강 하구둑)와 지류인 금호강, 회천, 황강, 남강, 밀양강을 포함한 총 72개의 구간이다. 모형의 모의시간과 출력시간은 각각 1일로 하였다. 2003년의 자료를 이용하여 추정된 수질 매개변수들의 적합성을 확인하기 위해 2004년${\sim}$2005년의 수질자료와 유량자료를 이용하여 검증하였고, 입력된 매개변수와 기상 입력자료(유량, 수온, 일사량, 일조율)의 값을 중심으로 10% 씩 상하로 변화시켰을 때의 민감도를 분석하였다. Chl-a는 민감도분석결과 Chl-a의 성장률과 동물성 플랑크톤의 섭식률에 의해 영향을 많이 받았다. 인은 Chl-a에 영향을 주었지만 질소는 거의 영향이 없었다. 기상자료의 민감도분석결과 유량, 수온, 일조율, 일사량의 순서로 민감하게 모의 되었다. WASP 모형에서 동물성 플랑크톤 개체수의 입력 유 무에 따른 수질모의결과는 동물성 플랑크톤을 입력했을 때가 더 정확히 모의되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to test the feasibility of combined use of EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) hydrodynamic model and WASP7.3 (Water Quality Analysis Program) model to improve accuracy of water quality predictions of the Yongdam Lake, Korea. The orthogonal curvilinear grid system was used for EFDC model to represent riverine shape of the study area. Relationship between volume, surface and elevation results were checked to verify if the grid system represents morphology of the lake properly. Monthly average boundary water quality conditions were estimated using the monthly monitored water quality data from Korean Ministry of Environment DB system. Monthly tributary flow rates were back-routed using dam discharge data and allocated in proportion to each basin area as direct measurements were not available. The optimum number of grid system was determined to be 372 horizontal cells and 10 vertical layers of the site for 1 year simulation of hydrodynamics and water quality out of iterative trials. Monthly observed BOD, TN, TP and Chl-a concentrations inside the lake were used for calibration of WASP7.3 model. This study shows that EFDC and WASP can be used in series successfully to improve accuracy in water quality modeling. However, it was observed that the amount of data to develop inflow water quality and flow rate boundary conditions and water quality data inside lake for calibration were not enough for accurate modeling. It is suggested that object-oriented data collection systems would be necessary to ensure accuracy of EFDC-WASP model application and thus for efficient lake water quality management strategy development.

The chestnut gall wasp, Dryocosmus kuriphilus $Y^{ASUMATSU}$, has been recently distributed and chestnut trees have teen seriously damaged by this insects in Korea. However, this insect pest has not been investigated in Korea. This paper gives an account of field and Laboratory observations on the seasonal occurrence and the life history of the chestnut gall wasp, and the damage of the chestnut trees by. its insects. This study was carried out at Chungchungpukdo, Kangwon-do and Kyungi-do in Korea, from 1961 to 1963, inclusive. 1. The Chestnut gall wasp (Dryocosmus kuriphilus $Y^{ASUMATSU}$) has one generathion per year and females are only known. 2. The adult wasps were observed from late June to late July with peak of wasp emergence about early and middle July. Most of new adult wasps were coming out from, the galls in the morning rather than the afternoon. 3. Each wasp produced auerage 198.5 eggs and about 4.89 eggs was observed in each bud of the chestnut tree. 4, The egg period of wasps was about 30 days and they were hatching from July to August. 5. The larval period of wasps were from middle of August to middle of next June and pupation took places about early June to middle of July. 6. The adult wasps were ovipositing into the buds and from early May next year, galls were growing. They caused stunting of growth and no fruiting or dying of the chestnut tries. 7. The first observation of the wasp was made at Chaechun of Chungchung-pukdo in 1958. Up to 1963 this insects are distributed in Kangwon-do, Kyunggi-do, north part of Chungchung-pukdo and north part of Kyungsangpukdo

Injection method of Paecilomyces japonica to Antheraea pernyi pupal body was investigated on feasibility for production of the corresponding vegetable wasp and plant worm. Infection rate of P. japonica to the pupae was 100%, and also fruiting body formation rate was 97%. The initial pupal body weight of 9.38 g befor injection of P. japonica to the pupae was finally reduced to 7.87g after two weeks in vivo culture. From these results, the injection method to pupal body will be useful for the production of Antheraea vegetable wasp and plant worm in future.
