Purpose: The goal of this study was to analyze the prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis infection in people living within 5 km of the Youngsan River basin, to develop an educational program to prevent the infection, and to examine the effects of the educational program. Methods: This study employed a one group pretest-posttest design, the subjects were 384. This study was conducted from November 20, 2008 to June 16, 2009. The results were analyzed with the SPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: Of the residents, 5.7% were infected with Clonorchis sinensis and the knowledge level about the prevention of Clonorchis sinensis was improved significantly from $9.57{\pm}5.12$ points before the education to $15.05{\pm}2.43$ points after the education. One of the important effects was that the willingness to eat raw fresh-water fish was reduced after the education. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, a continuous research needs to be conducted on how education and knowledge level-up change people's living attitudes for the prevention of Clonorchis sinensis infection and the reduction of the infection rate in the future.

Fish passage asssessments were conducted in the fishway at Juksan Weir, which was constructed as a four-major rivers project in the downstream area of Youngsan-River Watershed. For the research, fish-movements/migrations were analyzed for seven times from April ~ October, 2013 using an approach of fish trap-setting. Fish fauna and compositions were analyzed in the fishway, and seasonal- and diel-movement patterns were analyzed in relation to current velocity in the fishway. Also, abundances of exotic fishes such as bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus), large-mouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), and white curcian carp (Carassius cuvieri) were monitored in the fishway. Current velocity(n = 18) in the fishway showed large variations ($0.82{\pm}0.63m/s$) depending on the location of the fish trap-setting and this physical factor influenced the fish movements. Fish movements, based on the CPUE of individuals, in the fishway was greater in slower velocity (mean: 0.36 m/s, range: 0.10~1.54 m/s) than faster velocity (mean: 1.51 m/s, range: 0.90~1.90 m/s). Seasonal analysis of fish movements showed that most frequent uses (8 speices and 591 individuals, 66.2% of the total) of the fishway occurred in spring period(i.e., June). Diel movement analysis, in the mean time, showed highest in the time period of 00:00 ~ 3:00 am (7 species and 281 individuals, 20.9% of the total). The efficient managements in the fishway at Juksan Weir are required in relation to the hydrological regime.

This study was performed to investigate prevalence of clonorchiasis among the inhabitants living in villages along the 4 major rivers, Nakdong-gang (= river), Seomjin-gang, Youngsan-gang, and Guem-gang in southern Korea. From January to December 2006, a total of 24,075 stool samples (1 sample per an inhabitant) were collected in 23 localities and examined by the formalin-ether sedimentation technique. Of the inhabitants examined, 3,441 (14.3%) were found to harbor various types of intestinal parasite eggs, cysts or larvae. Numbers of infected people were 2,661 (11.1%) for Clonorchis sinensis, 431 (1.8%) for heterophyids, 226 (0.9%) for Entamoeba spp., 57 (0.2%) for Giardia lamblia, 30 (0.1%) for Trichuris trichiura, and 18 (0.07%) for echinostomes. Prevalence rates of clonorchiasis according to the river basin were 17.1% in Nakdong-gang, 11.2% in Seomjin-gang, 5.5% in Youngsan-gang and 4.6% in Guem-gang. Of the 2,661 C. sinensis egg-positive cases, 57.7% was male. The present findings suggest that clonorchiasis is still highly prevalent among inhabitants in the riverside areas of southern Korea, and it is necessary to implement a systematic control program in the endemic areas.

In this study, the characteristics of crop damage area by flooding for 113 middle range watersheds during 2000-2016 were analyzed and future crop damage area by flooding were analyzed using 13 GCM outputs such as hourly maximum rainfall, 10-min maximum rainfall, number of days of 80 mm/day, daily rainfall maximum, annual rainfall amount associated with RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios and watershed characteristic data such as DEM, urbanization ratio, population density, asset density, road improvement ratio, river improvement ratio, drainage system improvement ratio, pumping capacity, detention basin capacity, and crop damage area by flooding. A constrained multiple linear regression model was used to construct the relationships between the crop damage area by flooding and other variables. Future flood index related to crop damage may mainly increase in the Mankyung watershed, Southwest part of Youngsan and Sumjin river basin and Southern part of Nackdong river basin. Results are useful to identify watersheds which need to establish strategies for responding to future flood damage.

영산강 하구는 연안지역에 하구언이 축조되어 인공적으로 환경이 변화된 시스템이다. 또한 최근에는 담수역에 보가 건설되었고 담수 조류가 대증식하는 사례가 빈번하게 보고되고 있다. 이러한 담수가 간헐적으로 하구언 수문을 통해 해수역으로 방류되면서 하구의 해수역 수질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있지만 아직까지 해양 생태계의 건강성 변화에 대한 평가는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3개 정점을 대상으로 담수 방류 이전과 이후 4일 동안 시행된 해양환경과 식물플랑크톤에 대한 현장조사 자료를 활용하여 수질 및 건강성을 평가하고자 하였다. 건강성 평가를 위해 WQI, TRIX, P-IBI 등의 기법을 활용하였고 P-IBI 기준 설정을 위해 장기간 수집된 자료를 이용하였다. 평가 결과 공간적으로 하구언의 수문과 가까운 정점에서 건강성 등급이 낮았고 외해로 갈수록 등급이 높아지는 것으로 나타났지만 시간적으로는 평가기법에 따라 건강성 지수의 차이를 보였다. WQI와 TRIX는 방류 중에 지수가 증가하였다가 방류 후에 전 상태로 회복되는 경향을 보인 반면 P-IBI는 방류 후에 오히려 증가함으로써 건강성이 악화되는 결과를 보였다. 따라서 하구와 같이 급변하는 환경에서는 변화에 민감하게 반응하는 부유생물인 식물플랑크톤 군집이 지표로 포함된 P-IBI와 같은 기법이 더 적합할 것으로 사료된다.

This study was purposed to develop an effective LC/MS/MS method for simultaneously determining five pre-treated cyanotoxins (anatoxin-a, microcystins-RR, -YR, -LR and -LA) of cyanobacteria blooms. Cyanobacterial bloom samples were collected from 11 major lakes and three downstream areas of river around Korea during 2005~2009. Cyanotoxins were identified in 38 samples from the lakes. The validity of the method was evaluated and the recovery rates were found ranging from 83~87%. The MDL turned out to be $0.046\;{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for anatoxin-a and $0.066\;{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for microcystins (RR, YR, LR and LA), which indicates that the method has high sensitivity and accuracy. The most dominant genus of the cyanobacterial blooms was Microcystis, which accounted for 71% of the analysed samples. Microcystis also contained the largest amount of microcystins ($398.5\;{\mu}g\;gDW^{-1}$) among the analyzed cyanobacteria. The analysis of the five cyanotoxins showed that anatoxin-a ranged between $0{\sim}41.833\;{\mu}g\;gDW^{-1}$ and microcystins ranged between $6.311{\sim}2,148.786\;{\mu}g\;gDW^{-1}$. Among the microcystins, micocystin-RR took up 58.3%, the largest portion. Anatoxin-a was found to account for 77.8% of the samples. This study has its significance in that it allowed the establishment of toxin criteria appropriate for the Korean water systems. Further studies may be necessary to conduct for improving water treatment methods.

Recently, significant contamination problems by residual chemicals have occasionally been occurred from major rivers and drinking water in Korea. Therefore, the management for use of them and risk assessment should be more strictly performed. In this study, we have analyzed trihalomethanes in treated water samples taken from water plants located in the region of four major rivers (i.e. Han river, Geum river, Youngsan river and Nakdong river) in Korea for eight years (1997～2004). From the data, we could assess the excess cancer risk by calculating the chronic daily intakes (CDI) multiplied by individual oral slope factors, Q₁＊, for the cancer suspected matters such as trihalomethanes, moreover the hazard index which is calculated by dividing the CDI by the acceptable daily reference dose (R/sub f/D) was determined for the risk assessment. As a result, in the case of 95 percentile excess cancer risk, it was shown that the excess cancer risk for dichlorobromomethane in the Nakdong river region is highest among the tested samples as 8.73 x 10/sup -6/. The 95 percentile total hazard index (the sum of individual hazard indices considering R/sub f/D), in addition, was below 1.0 for all samples, and therefore it was assessed that water samples taken from treatment plants of four major rivers are not harmful.

한강, 낙동강, 영산강, 금강의 하천 및 호소퇴적물을 대상으로 건식체질법, 습식체질법, 광산란법(PSA) 등의 입도분석법을 비교연구 하였다. 건식체질법의 경우 건조과정에서 발생하는 엉김현상에 의해 오차가 크게 발생하며 이러한 현상은 호소시료의 경우 두드러지게 나타났다. 습식체질법은 건식체질법에 비해 복잡하고 노동력이 보다 많이 필요하지만 정확한 분석이 가능하며 PSA의 경우에도 습식체질과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 엉김현상을 방지하기 위한 동결건조 및 과산화수소수에 의한 유기물의 산화/동결건조의 경우 엉김현상을 일부 개선할 수 있었으나 여전히 습식체질에 비하여 미세입자의 분율이 적게 나타났다. 입도별 중금속의 용출량 및 함유량이 조사되었으며 예상된 바와 같이 호소 및 하천시료 모두 미세입자에서 높은 농도의 중금속이 용출되었다. 퇴적물의 관리에 있어서 정확한 입도분석법의 사용과 미세입자에 대한 관리가 보다 중요하다.
