기후변화로 인한 다년 가뭄은 전세계적으로 증가하는 추세이며, 충청남도에 위치한 보령댐 또한 2014년부터 2017년까지 지속된 다년 가뭄으로 인해 큰 피해를 받았다. 다양한 가뭄 피해 저감 정책 설립 과정에 있어 일방적인 하향식 의사결정 과정을 바탕으로 진행된 정책은 이해당사자간의 갈등을 야기했기에, 이를 방지하기 위해서는 이해당사자와 정책결정자들간의 참여형 의사결정 과정이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 그룹으로 구성된 이해당사자의 참여를 독려하는 참여형 의사결정 방식 중 하나인 비전공유계획을 충청남도 기후변화 적응 물관리정책 협의회를 통해 체계적으로 적용하였다. 또한, 비전공유계획의 핵심 요소인 비전공유모형을 시스템 다이내믹스 모형으로 개발하였고, 총 3회의 소위원회를 거쳐 이해당사자의 요청사항에 맞추어 모형을 보완하였다. 구축한 모형을 활용하여 미래에 발생 가능한 가뭄의 위험을 포함하고 있는 기후변화 시나리오로 모의하였고, 보령댐과 보령댐 계통 지자체의 가뭄으로 인한 취약성을 빈도, 지속기간, 크기 개념의 평가지표로 표현하였다. 모의 결과, 용수 공급원인 보령댐은 용수 수급처인 지자체보다 가뭄에 상대적으로 더 취약하며, 8개 지자체 중 가뭄 대응 대책이 주로 계획되어 있는 지역과 모의에서 추정한 가뭄 발생 지역이 일치하지 않음을 확인하였다. 모의 결과를 향후 협의회 회의에서 이해당사자와 공유하고, 댐과 지자체의 입장에서 용수 부족을 해소할 방안을 모형에 적용함으로써 미래 정책 결정 및 갈등 해소를 위해 개발한 비전공유모형을 이용할 수 있음을 제안하였다.

Water quality index (WQI) can be a great tool that allows experts to translate large amount of complex water quality data into a format more easily understood by the public and policy makers. Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Water Quality Index (CCME WQI) can be calculated with the three factors (Scope: $F_1$, Frequency: $F_2$, Amplitude: $F_3$). After all, the WQI for a specific site is produced as a number between 0 to 100; the scale is also divided into five categories, i.e., Excellent, Good, Fair, Marginal and Poor. The WQI was found to be highly related to Chl-a, pH, temperature among the collected items. When the more input parameters were used, the range of variation generally became smaller. $F_3$ among the factors of WQI was influenced by algae. It showed a similar variation tendency between WQI and algal bloom in 2008.

The Waikato River is New Zealand's longest River, though relatively small on international scales. It drains the central North Island and has New Zealand's largest lake (Lake Taupo) at its headwaters. The upper reaches have sustained flows fed by large aquifers which are recharged by rainfall events providing relatively constant river flows, whereas the lower reaches respond more directly to rainfall events having more peaky flows after rainfall and extreme low flows during dry periods. Consumptive allocation from the river is relatively low with only about 3% of the mean annual flow being allocated. However, more than seven times the river's flow is allocated for non-consumptive purposes before discharging to the Tasman Sea. The majority of this non-consumptive allocation is for hydro power generation and as cooling water at both thermal and geothermal power stations which produce up to 25% of New Zealand's electricity. The upper half of the river has been heavily modified with the construction of eight dams for power generation. This has resulted in a succession of cascading dams replacing the previously uncontrolled river. The Waikato River also provides drinking water for Auckland City (NZ's largest city) and Hamilton City (NZ's 4th largest city). In recent years there has also been considerable growth in water requirements for pasture irrigation to support the intensification of dairy farming in the catchment. Operators of the power stations are concerned that any further consumptive allocation will further reduce their ability to generate electricity. The Waikato Regional Council, who is charged with managing the river and allocation of water, has recently set new rules for managing the conflicting allocation demands on the Waikato River. This has resulted in an end to further allocation of water where it results in a loss of water for electricity generation from renewable resources (fresh water and geothermal water). The exception to this is the prioritisation of water for municipal supplies ahead of other consumptive uses such as industries and irrigators.

The Wairarapa Valley occupies a predominantly rural area in the lower North Island of New Zealand. It supports a mix of intensive farming (dairy), dry stock farming (sheep and beef cattle) and horticulture (including wine grapes). The valley floor is traversed by the Ruamahanga River, the largest river in the Wellington region with a total catchment area of 3,430 km2. Environmental, cultural and recreational values associated with this Ruamahanga River are very high. The alluvial gravel and sand aquifers of the Wairarapa Valley, support productive groundwater aquifers at depths of up to 100 metres below ground while the Ruamahanga River and its tributaries present a further source of water for users. Water is allocated to users via resource consents by Greater Wellington Regional Council (GWRC). With intensifying land use, demand from the surface and groundwater resources of the Wairarapa Valley has increased substantially in recent times and careful management is needed to ensure values are maintained. This paper describes the approach being taken to manage water resources in the Wairarapa Valley and redefine appropriate limits of sustainable water use. There are three key parts: Quantifying the groundwater resource. A FEFLOW numerical groundwater flow model was developed by GWRC. This modelling phase provided a much improved understanding of aquifer recharge and abstraction processes. It also began to reveal the extent of hydraulic connection between aquifer and river systems and the importance of moving towards an integrated (conjunctive) approach to allocating water. Development of a conjunctive management framework. The FEFLOW model was used to quantify the stream flow depletion impacts of a range of groundwater abstraction scenarios. From this, three abstraction categories (A, B and C) that describe diminishing degrees of hydraulic connection between ground and surface water resources were mapped in 3 dimensions across the Valley. Interim allocation limits have been defined for each of 17 discrete management units within the valley based on both local scale aquifer recharge and stream flow depletion criteria but also cumulative impacts at the valley-wide scale. These allocation limits are to be further refined into agreed final limits through a community-led decision making process. Community involvement in the limit setting process. Historically in New Zealand, limits for sustainable resource use have been established primarily on the basis of 'hard science' and the decision making process has been driven by regional councils. Community involvement in limit setting processes has been through consultation rather than active participation. Recent legislation in the form of a National Policy Statement on Freshwater Management (2011) is reforming this approach. In particular, collaborative consensus-based decision making with active engagement from stakeholders is now expected. With this in mind, a committee of Wairarapa local people with a wide range of backgrounds was established in 2014. The role of this committee is to make final recommendations about resource use limits (including allocation of water) that reflect the aspirations of the communities they represent. To assist the committee in taking a holistic view it is intended that the existing numerical groundwater flow models will be coupled with with surface flow, contaminant transport, biological and economic models. This will provide the basis for assessing the likely outcomes of a range of future land use and resource limit scenarios.

This paper examines the actions and the factors driving those actions to reduce energy consumption and enhance energy efficiency taken by United States cities. While not much empirical evidence is available on why governments pursue practical sustainability actions, we attempt to shed more light on this important topic by empirically identifying factors that contribute to concrete actions toward sustainability policies. We adopt political market theory as a basic theoretical framework with policy-making applied to city energy consumption. Using the 2010 ICMA (local government sustainability policies and program) data, this study expands the focus of analyses to evaluate the effect of the form of government on energy consumption and energy efficiency by using multiple regression analysis. The findings show that at the city level, the mayor-council form of government are negatively associated with governments' efforts to reduce energy consumption. However, cities with at-large elections and municipal ownership are more likely to adopt sustainability actions. We also find that a large-scale economy has significant effects on the effort to reduce city energy consumption and improve energy efficiency. This shows that environmental policies are directly connected to locally relevant affairs, including housing, energy use, green transportation, and water. Thus, local level administrators could take an executive role to protect the environment, encourage the development of alternative energy, and reduce the use of fossil fuel and coal energy. These efforts can lead to important environmental ramifications and relevant actions by municipal governments.

The objective of this study is improve the technology by various testing devices for measuring degree of compaction. The methods for quality control for compaction are very various. But, normally the specifications have provided PBT(Plate Bearing Test) method when inspector tested quality control. In spite of the PBT has a few weak points to reduce process and cost. In order to improve quality control method, analyzed in-situ test results between PBT and other devices.(LWDT and Geogauge).

Fisheries constitute an important sector in national economic development, and estimate to contribute about 3% of the total GDP and 5% of the GDP in agriculture. Fish production from aquaculture has been estimated at 950 tonnes for 2004. In 2003, Ghana produced only 51.7% of its requirements from its domestic sources and in 2004, achieved 68.1% of its fish requirement through domestic production and imports. It has been estimated that the production from ponds and culture-based fisheries is worth about US$ 1.5 million a year. The aquaculture sub sector comprises largely small-scale subsistence farmers who practice extensive aquaculture in earthen ponds in contrast to the intensive practices of commercial farmers. There is one cage facility which produces 200 tonnes or 21.1% of the total output. There are several laws to regulate and govern the sector and the government has set up institutions that are responsible for developing fisheries and aquaculture policy and directing and establishing research priorities. The Directorate of Fisheries (DoF) is the lead government agency for aquaculture development and the Water Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is mandated to carry out aquaculture research. To promote fish farming, imports of farm fish are not allowed.

우리나라에서 시행중인 수질오염총량관리제도는 수계 내 모든 유역을 단위유역으로 구분하고 단일 공통 오염물질과 유량조건을 고려하여 본류 중심으로 관리하고 있다. 이러한 수질오염총량관리제도는 지역 및 단위유역의 특성 변화를 반영하지 못하며 관리수계 내 목표수질을 유지한다고 하더라도 각 단위유역에서의 수질변화 여건에 따라서 지류에서 발생되는 오염물질의 부하량 변화를 직접적으로 반영하기 어려운 실정이다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 오염도가 높은 지류의 총량관리를 위한 지류총량제도의 추가 도입이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지류에서의 수질변화 양상이 본류에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해서 팔당수계내 3개의 주요 중권역인 남한강 하류, 경안천, 북한강 유역을 대상으로 53개의 소유역으로 구축하여 유역유출모형인 HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran) 모형을 적용하였다. 모의결과 BOD는 0.17 mg/L - 4.30 mg/L의 범위로 전반적으로 지류에서 높게 생성되어 하류 유역으로 갈수록 낮아졌다. T-P는 0.02 mg/L - 0.22 mg/L의 범위로 도시화 및 축산업 등의 영향이 큰 유역은 높게 나타나고 북한강 유역은 전반적으로 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 각 단위 유역별로 배출되는 오염부하량 변화에 따른 수질 변화를 분석하기 위해 오염원 저감 시나리오를 선정하였다. 시나리오별 모의결과 BOD와 T-P의 저감률은 북한강 하류유역과 경안천 중·하류 유역에서 크게 나타났다. 이는 각 소유역별 수질 개선의 노력에 따른 수질 저감의 혜택은 각 본류 하천의 중·하류에서 가장 크게 받는 것으로 나타났으며 지류총량관리를 위한 기초자료가 될 수 있다고 판단된다.
