Dry matter production, leaf area growth and total nitrogen changes were studied in Glycine max. soybean communities, which were grown in sandy loam soils controlled to provide various moisture levels, i.e., 5-7%(level 1), 8-10%(level 2), 11-13%(level 3), 14-15%(lev디 4), 17-20%(level 5) and 22-24%(level 6). A summary of the results is shown. The maximum dry matter production of leaves, stems and nodules and the maximum leaf area per unit area were at level 5, but the maximum of root dry matter production was at level 4. Total nitrogen content of the soybean plant decreased with growth, but each level of soil moisture content also showed a little difference. Water content of the plant decreased with plant age and soil water deficiency, especially in roots and nodules. Nodule formation increased in proportion to soil moisture content. total nitrogen content of the soil on which the soybeans grew, increased from 0.23% before sowing to 0.30% at 100 days after sowing. It seems that soil water content acts as a linear factor in the elongation or dry weight increase of shoots and roots until increasing to level 5. Considering the pattern of plant growth through analysis of the shoot and root dry weight ratio, or the photosynthetic organ and non-photosynthetic organ dry weight ratio, the asymptote of plant growth at a high soil water content exceeded that at a low soil water content.

A small hydropower plant(SHP) using cooling water discharged from the power plant was constructed in Samcheonpo. This study presents predicted and measured hydrological data in the construction process of small hydropower plant in order to evaluate characteristics of water level variation of cooling water discharge channel which is a key factor in the design of SHP since the water level rise of channel is related to impact on circulating water system of the existing power plant. Various methods were applied for prediction of water level variation in the design stage from simple empirical formula to sophisticated 3-dimensional CFD method. Measured results reveal that mean value was similar between measured and predicted, but measured results were larger than predicted in deviation. Moreover, simple formula, i.e. standard weir equation and Honma equation, were more useful before installation of SHP, but sophisticated methods during operation of SHP.

Although it produces well-treated water in water treatment plant, water quality at the tap can be changed depending on the state of pipes. It is because water quality deteriorates as plant water passes through pipeline networks. Therefore, the improvement of not only water treatment technology but also O & M of water pipelines is required to supply good water to consumers. The purpose of the study was to obtain the basic data of control technology for water quality in pipes through investigating water quality in distribution system. We selected 11 sampling sites and investigated water quality from plant to endpoint of distribution system. we also simulated decreasing tendency of free chlorine through pipeline network. As the result of water quality test, all parameters were below allowable levels, but some parameters had the possibility of being over levels. So there must be more work to set up proper countermeasure for violable parameters.

A methodology to predict the output performance of small hydro power plant using treated effluent in waste water treatment plant has been studied. Existing waste water treatment plant located in Kyunggi-Do were selected and the output performance characteristics for these plants were analyzed. .Based on the models developed in this study, the hydrologic performance characteristics for SHP sites have been analyzed. The results show that the flow duration characteristics of small hydropower plant for waste water treatment plant have quite differences compared with small hydropower plant for the river. As a result, it was found that the developed model in this study can be used to analyze the output characteristics for small hydro power in waste water treatment plant. Additionally, primary design specifications such as design flowrate, capacity, operational rate and annual electricity production were estimated and discussed. It was found that the models developed in this study can be used to decide the design performance of small hydropower plant for waste water treatment plant effectively.

For the evaluation of drought resistance of the plant, the growth of Lespedeza bicolor Turcz. var. japonica Nakai was analyzed by the control of water content of soil: 1. The growth of leaf, stem and root showed high value in accordance with the increase of soil water content. 2. The formation of nodule was alos increased as the content of soil water became higher. 3. The highest water content of the plant was shown in the plots of 30 and 40% of water centent in soils and in the middle of the growing period (August-September). 4. The C/F ratio in the early period of the growth(July) was similar in each plot, but showed a higher value as the water centent of soil became higher at the later period(October). 5. The T/R ration increased in early period of the growth as the soil water content became higher, but it was decreased to the value of 1 in each plot.

조속기는 수차발전기의 핵심을 담당하는 두뇌라고 말할 수 있으며, 전력계통의 부하(주파수)가 변할 경우 수차발전기의 회전속도를 정격으로 유지시켜 양질의 전기를 생산하도록 항시 조정되는 역할을 한다. 최근 조속기는 디지털화되어 최적제어 감시 및 보호기능을 수행하고 있으나 문제점도 하나둘씩 나타나고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 디지털 가버너의 Isolation Mode에 대한 설명과 사고사례를 통해 디지털가버너 운영 시 문제점을 분석, 검토하여 보완하고자 하였으며, 이를 통해 안정적으로 전력공급을 주요 목적으로 하였다.

Tidal power is one of new and renewable energy sources. Tidal power is generated by using the gap in the water level between the water outside and inside the embankment. All tidal power plant in Korea were being operated by import of turn-key from abroad. The know-how and technology which are the most important to build predictive control system has become increasingly difficult to obtain from advanced countries because most of them avoid to transfer, which the domestic development of the control system is needed. In this paper, a study on start stop system at water turbine-generator for tidal power plant at the beginning of development was presented. For improvement the efficiency and develope of core technology of the start stop system, the technique and characteristics of tidal power, modeling, maximum generation calculation method, and optimal control of joint control system in Sihwa tidal power plant were studied.

A cost analysis method for pretreament processes of a large scale seawater desalination plant was considered using a cost estimation model, WaTER (Water Treatment Estimation Routine). This model is based on cost functions of U.S. EPA to conduct economic analysis of water treatment facilities. A virtual seawater desalination plant which has pretreatment production capacity of $100,000m^3$ per day was chosen as a model plant. Dual media filtration and microfiltration systems were compared as pretreatment process, and the following reverse osmosis process was modeled. As a result, microfiltration showed a price competitiveness in condition of operating with reverse osmosis process by reducing the loads of water treatment and membrane cleaning despite it's high annual cost.

Where temperature permits plant growth, the existence of plants is controlled chiefly by the water availability. Without water, plants cannot grow, and man and animals cannot survive. With too much water, plant growth is also rather limited due partly to oxygen deficit in root zone (Ro et al., 1995). The objective of this seminar is to discuss the most important aspects of water management in relation to crop production and environmental conservation. (omitted)

This study is aimed to construct a marine small hydro power plant using discharge water of fish farm in Jeju Haengwon-ri. The difference of design methods between marine small hydro power plant and land small hydro power plant is to consider the tides. Moreover, ground condition should be examined because gushout sea water comes out from the ground at high tide in Jeju as the ground of Jeju beach consists of basalt stone. From the field test of the turbine generator after construction of the power plant, output power and efficiency of the turbine generator shows good conformance to the required conditions.
