Desalination plants have been recently constructed in many parts of the world due to water scarcity caused by population growth, industrialization and climate change. Most seawater desalination plants are designed with a submarine pipeline for intake and discharge. Submarine pipelines are installed directly on the bottom of the water body if the bottom is sandy and flat. Intake is located on a low-energy shoreline with minimal exposure to beach erosion, heavy storms, typhoons, tsunamis, or strong underwater currents. Typically, HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipes are used in such a configuration. Submarine pipelines cause many problems when they are not properly designed; HDPE pipelines can be floated or exposed to strong currents and wind or tidal action. This study examines the optimal design method for the trench depth of pipeline, analysis of on-bottom stability and dilution of the concentrate based on the desalination plant conducted at the Pacific coast of Peru, Chilca. As a result of this study, the submarine pipeline should be trenched at least below 1.8 m. The same direction of pipeline with the main wind is a key factor to achieve economic stability. The concentrate should be discharged as much as high position to yield high dilution rate.

효율적인 물 관리방식 개발의 기초 자료를 얻고자 논의 물 관리 차이가 벼의 생육과 수확량에 미치는 영향을 2002년부터 2003년까지 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 물 관리 방법별 벼 생육 및 수량은 DWI는 VSII에 비해 출수기의 초장이 길었고, 경수가 적었으나 유효경 비율은 약간 높았고, VSII의 등숙비율은 다른 물 관리에 비해 $1\%$ 낮아 쌀 수량은 $2.1\%$ 적었으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 2. 관개량과 유효강우량 등 총 물 공급량은 DWI에서 777.2mm로 가장 많았고, VS팀에서 527mm로 가장 적어, SII에서는 DWI에 비해 약 $15.9\%$, VSII에서는 $32.2\%$정도의 물 절약효과가 있었다. 3. 절간장은 N3, N4절은 관수심이 깊을수록 길었으며, 간벽두께, 간기중, 줄기직경은 DWI에서 감소하였으나, 좌절중, Pushing resistance는 VSII가 DWI에 비해 매우 높고 도복지수가 낮았다. 4. VSII의 성숙기 근장은 27cm로 DWI보다 깊게 내려갔으며, 토양 표면으로부터 10cm이상 깊이에서는 VSII의 뿌리 발생량이 많았으나, 토양 표면으로부터 10cm까지는 DWI의 뿌리분포가 많았다. 5. 물 관리 차이에 따른 잡초 발생양상은 최고 분얼기에는 VSII가 DWI에 비해 일년생 잡초와 다년생 잡초 모두 본수가 2배 이상 많았으며, 출수기에는 일년생 잡초 본수는 물 관리 차이에 관계없이 비슷하였으나, 다년생 잡초 본수는 VSII에서 DWI에 비해 3배 이상 많았다. 이상의 결과에서 담수심을 얕게 하여 용수를 절약하여도 관행 심수 관개 방식에 비해 벼 생육 및 수량에는 차이가 없었고, 오히려 내도복성을 향상시킬 수 있었으므로 최적 용수 공급량 산출의 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있었다.

The persistence of drought periods and water scarcity is a growing public concern, as climate change projections indicate a more critical scenario in the future. The sustainability of water resources for the increasing population, and to ensuring crop production will unarguably be a daunting task for the water resources managers, with a projected 9.8 billion people by 2050 as well as the need to increase food production by 70 to 100%. Consequently, there is a need for significant irrigation water use for more crop production in the face of stiff competition among water users. However, the available natural resources are already over-constrained, and the allocation of more resources for food production is not feasible. Currently, about two-thirds of global water withdrawer is used by the agricultural sector while 48% of water resources in Korea is used for agricultural production. Despite the apparent ecological deficit and unfavorable conditions of resources utilization, a staggering amount of food waste occurs in the country. Moreover, wastage of food translates to waste of all the resources involved in the food production including water resources. Food waste can also be considered a serious potential for economic and environmental problems. Hence, exploring an alternative approach to efficient resources utilization in a more sustainable way can ensure considerable resources conservation. We hypothesized that reducing food waste will decline the demand for food production and consequently reduce the pressure on water resources. We investigated the food wastage across the food supply chain using the top-down datasets based on the FAO mass balance model. Furthermore, the water footprint of the estimated food wastage was assessed using the representative of selected food crops. The study revealed that the average annual food wastage across the food supply chain is 9.05 million tonnes, signifying 0.51 kg/capita/day and 48% of domestic food production. Similarly, an average of 6.29 Gm3 per annum of water resources was lost to food wastage, which translates to 40% of the total allotted water resources for agriculture in the country. These considerable resources could have been conserved or efficiently used for other purposes. This study demonstrated that zero food waste generation would significantly reduce the impact on freshwater resources and ensure its conservation. There is a need for further investigation on the food waste study using the bottom-up approach, specifically at the consumer food waste, since the top-down approach is based on estimations and many assumptions were made.

본 연구는 정식 후 토양의 수분 함량에 따른 배추의 생장과 토양 수분에 따른 배추의 생리 반응 모델 개발을 위한 유효 매개변수를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 처리는 5개 수준으로 각각 0, 200, 300, 400 및 500mL/d/plant로 매일 1회 관수하여 토양 수분 함량 차이로 구분하였다. 토양수분과 기공전도도를 정식 후 10일부터 6일 간격으로 총 5회 측정하였으며(단, 0과 200mL/d/plant 처리구는 총 3회 측정), 광합성기구 활성을 알아보고자 정식 후 25일에 충분히 관수된 처리구(500mL/d/plant)와 결핍 처리구(0mL/d/plant)에서 이산화탄소 포화 곡선을 작성하였고, 정식 후 38일에 생장을 조사하였다(단, 관수량 처리구 0과 200mL/d/plant는 위조되어 정식 후 29일에 생장 조사함). 토양수분과 배추의 기공전도도는 밀접한 관계가 있었으며($r^2=0.999$), 직선의 정의 상관관계로 y = 6097.4x - 4.2984였다. 충분히 관수된 배추의 이산화탄소 포화곡선은 정상적인 포화 곡선을 보였으나, 토양수분이 극도로 결핍된 배추는 체내로 이산화탄소가 확산되어 들어가지 않으며, 광합성 속도도 약 $6.5{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ 미만으로 급격히 감소하였다. 충분히 관수된 처리구(500mL/d/plant)에 비하여 토양 수분 결핍구(0mL/d/plant 처리)에서는 약 6.8배 이상 건물생산량이 감소하였다. 그리고 토양의 수분 함량에 따라 엽면적 지수가 로그함수적(y = 16.573 + 3.398 ln x)으로 증가하였고, 결정 계수 $r^2=0.913$로 높은 상관 관계가 있었다. 결과적으로, 정식초기의 토양 수분 함량이 결핍되면 배추의 생장이 지연되며, 광합성 속도와 기공전도도가 낮아지는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한, 토양수분 함량과 배추 생장 반응 모델을 기공전도도와 엽면적 지수를 변수로 활용하면 정확도가 우수한 모델을 개발할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

최근 이상기후 현상으로 발생빈도 및 규모가 증가한 가뭄은 다양한 분야에서 극심한 문제를 유발하여 가뭄에 의한 물부족 발생 시 수생태 건강성 확보를 위한 합리적인 대응 방안을 마련하기 위해 가뭄 감시, 전망 및 대응기술 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유역모델 HSPF와 수질모델 QUAL-MEV를 연계하여 가뭄 기간 물 부족 상태가 수문 순환을 통해 변동되는 수질을 예측하였다. SPI, RCP 4.5 시나리오를 검토하고 HSPF 및 QUAL-MEV를 활용하여 유량변동에 따른 수질변화를 모의하여 유량변동에 따른 수질 변화를 분석하였다. 갈수기 유량과 수질의 관계는 높으나 강수량과 수질의 관계는 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 유량 및 SPI6는 상이한 경향이 나타나 가뭄의 영향으로 변화되는 수질 예측시 중장기 가뭄지수와 관계는 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 가뭄에 의한 수질 영향을 평가하기 위해 단기간의 가뭄지수 활용 및 유량 변동에 따른 평가방안 마련이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

물은 지구상의 생물들이 살아가는데 매우 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 심각한 물 부족 현상이 가난한 지역에 사는 사람들 특히 전세계에서 가장 가난한 아프리카의 시골지역에서 사는 사람들에게 더 큰 문제라는 것을 주목할 필요가 있다. 브룬디는 바로 그런 위험 군에 속하는 나라이다. 본 연구는 아프리카 브룬디의 Kibira 국립공원 인근 7개 지역의 현재와 미래의 물 수요를 예측하였다. 잠재적인 물 수요 군을 일반가정, 가축, 농업부문 및 산업부문으로 나누어 물 수요를 예측하였는데, 이들 지역의 물 수요는 지속적으로 증가할 것으로 예측되었다. 농업생산에 필요한 물의 양은 2020년에는 연간 $288,779,060m^3$, 2050년에는 연간 $306,018,348m^3$로 증가하면서, Kibira 국립공원 인근 지역의 경우 농업부분에서 물 수요가 가장 큰 비중을 차지할 것으로 보인다. 하지만 차 재배가 주 산업인 Muruta와 Bukeye의 경우 2050년 차 산업과 관련된 물 수요가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 이용 가능한 수자원의 양이 Kibira국립공원 주변 지역의 발전에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 변수가 될 것으로 보인다. 현재의 수자원 규모는 이들 7개 지역의 미래 물 수요를 충족할 수 없는 것으로 판단되며, 수자원 확보를 위한 필요한 대책을 강구하여야 한다.

This study aims to establish the multi-reservoir operation system model in the Upper Mun River Basin which includes 5 main dams namely, Mun Bon (MB), Lamchae (LC), Lam Takhong (LTK), Lam Phraphoeng (LPP), and Lower Lam Chiengkrai (LLCK) Dams. The knowledge and AI technology were applied aiming to develop innovative prototype for SMART dam-reservoir operation in future. Two different sorts of reservoir operation system model namely, Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Constraint Programming (CP) as well as the development of rainfall and reservoir inflow prediction models using Machine Learning (ML) technique were made to help specify the right amount of daily reservoir releases for the Royal Irrigation Department (RID). The model could also provide the essential information particularly for the Office of National Water Resource of Thailand (ONWR) to determine the short-term and long-term water resource management plan and strengthen water security against flood and drought in this region. The simulated results of base case scenario for reservoir operation in the Upper Mun from 2008 to 2021 indicated that in the same circumstances, FL and CP models could specify the new release schemes to increase the reservoir water storages at the beginning of dry season of approximately 125.25 and 142.20 MCM per year. This means that supplying the agricultural water to farmers in dry season could be well managed. In other words, water scarcity problem could substantially be moderated at some extent in case of incapability to control the expansion of cultivated area size properly. Moreover, using AI technology to determine the new reservoir release schemes plays important role in reducing the actual volume of water shortfall in the basin although the drought situation at LTK and LLCK Dams were still existed in some periods of time. Meanwhile, considering the predicted inflow and hydrologic factors downstream of 5 main dams by FL model and minimizing the flood volume by CP model could ensure that flood risk was considerably minimized as a result of new release schemes.

Due to the lack of water in arid and semi-arid areas, reuse of wastewater can be a suitable way to compensate for water scarcity. Therefore, in this research, evaluation of the quality of wastewater of Kashan Treatment Plant to use for irrigation was studied. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016. pH, TSS, TDS, turbidity, COD, BOD5, Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, Total Coliform, fecal coliform, nematode eggs of inlet and outlet of wastewater treatment plant in Kashan were studied. Mean and standard deviation and wastewater quality parameters before and after treatment were tested with SPSS 22 (2014) software. The mean wastewater output of COD, BOD5, TSS, TDS and turbidity were respectively 86.6, 41.2, 11.11, 1095 mgL-1 and 17.5 NTU and the pH was equal to 7.22. Also, the average of Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen and phosphorus were 22.4 and 2.2 mgL-1 respectively. The mean of Total Coliform and fecal coliform were 225, 161 MPN / 100 ml respectively. In addition, no nematode eggs were found in final effluent. The results indicated that the treatment plants had a significant role in the control of microbial and organic pollution load of wastewater. Also, it is concluded that all parameters were in accordance with the standards of Iran's Department of Environment, so, it can be used for unrestricted irrigation.

Groundwater resource is mostly used in Abomey-calavi (southern region of Benin) as main source of water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural activities. Groundwater intake across the region is not perfectly controlled by a network due to the presence of many private boreholes and traditional wells used by the population. After some decades, this important resource is becoming more and more vulnerable and needs more attention. For a better groundwater management in the region of Abomey-calavi, the present study attempts to predict a future probable groundwater drought using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for future groundwater level prediction. The RNN model was created in python using jupyter library. Six years monthly groundwater level data was used for the model calibration, two years data for the model test and the model was finaly used to predict two years future groundwater level (years 2020 and 2021). GRI was calculated for 9 wells across the area from 2012 to 2021. The GRI value in dry season (by the end of March) showed groundwater drought for the first time during the study period in 2014 as severe and moderate; from 2015 to 2021 it shows only moderate drought. The rainy season in years 2020 and 2021 is relatively wet and near normal. GRI showed no drought in rainy season during the study period but an important diminution of groundwater level between 2012 and 2021. The Pearson's correlation coefficient calculated between GRI and rainfall from 2005 to 2020 (using only three wells with times series long period data) proved that the groundwater drought mostly observed in dry season is not mainly caused by rainfall scarcity (correlation values between -0.113 and -0.083), but this could be the consequence of an overexploitation of the resource which caused the important spatial and temporal diminution observed from 2012 to 2021.
