Discharge characteristics of non-point source pollutant and load amount of the discharge in the urban area were investigated in the Pungyeongjeong-stream basin and the Yongbong-stream basin in this present study. The land use of the studied basins were divided into paddy field, industrial complex area, combined sewage system, separate sewer system and point sources discharge. The descriptive statistics on the event mean concentrations (EMCs) of non-point pollutants by the the land use showed in the range of 4.43-32.28 mg/L for BOD and 8.27~56.17 mg/L for COD. The highest concentration was shown from the combined sewage system. The EMC of SS at the paddy field in the Pungyeongjeong-stream basin showed the highest range with the values ~ from 35.76 to 358.86 mg/L, which might have been influenced by a levee construction in the adjacent of the area. The relatively high concentration values of 4.43~32.28 mg/L and 1.617.13 mg/L emerged from TN and TP,respectively, at the discharge points of the both stream basins.

본 연구에서는 영산강 하구언 배수갑문의 개방으로 대량의 담수가 방류될 경우 목포항 인근해역의 해수유동 변화와 이에 수반되는 부유물질/염분 농도의 시공간적인 변화를 파악하기 위해 방류조건과 확산성분별로 12가지의 계산 시나리오를 구성하고 MIKE21의 해수유동(HD)모듈과 오염 확산(AD)모듈을 이용하여 하구언 방류의 영향을 살펴보았다. 해수유동 모의결과, 배수갑문과의 거리에 따라 방류조건별로 수위와 유속이 최대 144.5cm, 175.6cm/sec까지 상승하였다. 특히 청계만 수역에서는 방류시기에 낙조시 유속이 최대 68.8cm/sec까지 감소해 방류에 따른 수위상승으로 낙조시 해수유출이 지체되는 것으로 판단된다. 부유물질 확산모의 결과, 목포 기준검조소를 기준으로 목포항 내부수역은 원활한 해수순환이 이루어지지 않아 각종 오염원 유입시 외해로 쉽게 확산되거나 희석되지 못하고 계속 정체되는 것으로 나타나 항내 오염이 심각하게 우려되며, 특히 연속적인 담수 방류와 방류량의 크기가 내부수역의 부유물질 농도 감소에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단됨에 따라 방류량이 작고 연속 방류가 행해지지 않는 비우기시의 오염은 더욱 심해질 것으로 판단된다. 방류조건별 염분농도 역시 방류량이 크고, 연속적인 담수 방류가 행해질 경우 농도가도 크게 감소하며 확산면적도 증가하였다.

Compressibility of the marine clay was mainly studied velocity of consolidation and numerical analysis by this time but studies of reevaluated from the field measurement data was a little. For last three years, areal fills and extensive field instrumentations including settlement and pore water pressure were performed in the site of the Youngsan River estuary site, South Korea. From the settlement data, field consolidation curves for sub-layers were reconstructed. Effective surcharge loads during the staged loadings were calculated using the fill heights and the excess pore water pressures in the ground. In the numerical analysis (PLAXIS), prefabricated vertical drains were also simulated. Laboratory, field, and numerical analysis showed good agreements in compressibility. Due to different conditions and limitations of the clay was the same range of the oedometer tests.

The present study analyzed noise reduction and long/short-term components for discharge, TOC concentration, and TOC load data in order to understand the data characteristics better. For the purpose, wavelet transform which can reduce noise from raw data and has flexible resolution in time and frequency domain was applied and the theory of nonlinear dynamics was also used to determine the last decomposition level for wavelet transform. Wavelet function of 'db10' and the 7th level for the last decomposition of wavelet transform were applied for the all data in the present study. Also the results revealed that the energy ratios of approximation components with 187-hour periodicity decomposed from 7th level of wavelet transform were 94.71% (discharge), 99.00% (TOC concentration), and 93.84% (TOC load), respectively. In addition, the energy ratios of detail components showed the range between 1.00% and 6.17%, which were extremely small comparing to the energy ratios of approximation components, therefore, the first and second detail components might be considered as noise components included in the raw data.

홍수예보 정보는 인명 및 재산 피해를 예방하기 위한 중요한 기능을 수행하고 있다. 현재 제공되고 있는 홍수예보 정보는 본류 및 일부 주요지천에 설치된 수위관측소(홍수예보지점)에 국한되어 제공되고 있다. 또한 제공되는 홍수예보 정보는 주의보 및 경보 수위로 하천내의 친수시설 및 범람 위험에 대한 홍수예보 정보를 제공하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 영산강 수계의 홍수예보 정보제공 효율성을 높이기 위해서 기존에 제공되었던 주의보 및 경보 수위에 대하여 국가 위기경보단계별 기준을 적용하여 아래 표와 같이 4단계의 홍수예보정보를 제공할 수 있는 기준을 제시하였다. 제시된 개선 사항을 영산강 수계 수위관측소에 적용하여 친수시설 및 범람 위험에 대한 추가정보를 제공할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 관측소별로 과거 수위자료를 수집하고 발생 빈도를 산정하여 홍수예보 정보제공에 활용함으로써 보다 효율적인 홍수예보 정보제공이 가능하도록 하였다. 본 연구에서는 일부 홍수예보지점에서 제공되는 홍수예보 정보(주의보 및 경보)를 개선하고 친수시설 및 범람 위험에 대한 추가 정보를 제공하여 홍수로 인한 인명 및 재산 피해를 경감할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 제시된 홍수예보 정보제공 방안은 수위관측소 주변을 대상으로 단순 측량에 의해 산정된 방법으로 향후에는 하천 전체를 공간적 개념으로 적용한 홍수예보 정보제공 방안에 대한 연구가 수행될 필요가 있다.

In this study, we designed a data-driven model to predict chlorophyll-a using M5P model tree and extreme learning machine (ELM). The Juksan weir in the Youngsan River has high chlorophyll-a, which is the primary indicator of algal bloom every year. Short-term algal bloom prediction is important for environmental management and ecological assessment. Two models were developed and evaluated for short-term algal bloom prediction. M5P is a classification and regression-analysis-based method, and ELM is a feed-forward neural network with fast learning using the least square estimate for regression. The dataset used in this study includes water temperature, rainfall, solar radiation, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, N/P ratio, and chlorophyll-a, which were collected on a daily basis from January 2013 to December 2016. The M5P model showed that the prediction model after one day had the highest performance power and dropped off rapidly starting with predictions after three days. Comparing the performance power of the ELM model with the M5P model, it was found that the performance power of the 1-7 d chlorophyll-a prediction model was higher. Moreover, in a period of rapidly increasing algal blooms, the ELM model showed higher accuracy than the M5P model.

Water movement in the Young San River Estuary where a sea dyke was constructed, was observed using anacoustic doppler profiler (ADP) and two TGPS buoys for 25 hours on 27-28 July 2000. Hydrographic observations were simultaneously taken using CTD to understand the characteristic of the spacial structure of temperature and salinity. A large quantity of fresh water was discharged from the sea dyke on 26 July 2000. The observation period fell on neap tide. The amplitude of the tidal elevation and the maximum velocity of the tidal current were about 4 m and 12 cm/sec respectively. The water movement at the surface layer is mainly controlled by wind, and those at the other layers are controlled by semidiurnal tide. The low salinity water less than 22 psu was observed along the northern part during the early observation period while southerly wind prevails. The less saline water moves westward and finally leaves the estuary by easterly wind early on the second day. We can divide the vertical structure into four layers by hydrography and current structure. Mean velocity structure shows that relatively less saline waters at the surface and the middle layer move seaward, and the waters at the upper and the bottom layers move landward. It is thought that the intermittent discharge of river water from the sea dyke makes vertical structure of four layers.

Flood frequency estimate is an essential index for determining the scale of small and middle hydraulic structure. However, this flood quantity could not be estimated directly for practical design purpose due to the lack of available flood data, and indirect method like design rainfall-runoff method have been used for the estimation of design flood. To give the good explain for design flood estimates, regional flood frequency analysis was performed by flood index method in this study. First, annual maximum series were constructed by using the collected data which covers from Japanese imperialism period to 1999. Wakeby distribution recommended by WMO(1989) was used for regional flood frequency analysis and L-moment method by Hosking (1990) was used for parameter estimation. For the homogeneity of region, the discordance and heterogeneity test by Hosking and Wallis(1993) was carried for 4 major watersheds in Korea. Physical independent variable correlated with index flood was watershed area. The relationship between specific discharge and watershed area showed a type of power function, i.e. the specific discharge decreases as watershed area increases. So flood quantity according to watershed area and return period was presented for each watershed(Han rivet, Nakdong river, Geum river and Youngsan/Seomjin river) by using this relation type. This result was also compared with the result of point frequency analysis and its regionalization. It was shown that the dam construction couldn't largely affect the variation of peak flood. The property of this study was also examined by comparison with previous studies.

Our study was based on the long-term surveys with respect to the major reservoirs located in the Yeongsan and Seomjin river basins. A total of 45 survey sites have been surveyed four times a year from 2008 to 2017. We identified 166 zooplankton species, including 127 rotifers, 26 cladocerans, and 13 copepods. Mean population density and species number of small reservoirs were higher than those of mid and large reservoirs. Considering outliers exceeding the 90th percentile between species occupancy and mean abundance, 10 of 11 habitat generalists were rotifers, and Bosmina longirostris was the only cladoceran. Habitat specialist consisted of three species of rotifers and emerged from one to three survey sites. According to the modularity results, it was found that the survey sites covering the entire river basins were characterized into five groups, which was similar to the classification by maximum water surface areas(MWSA). The result of the eigenvector centrality showed that the size of MWSA had a greater impact on the similarity of zooplankton community structure between reservoirs than the difference in distance between reservoirs. In the case of survey points in near dam or estuary bank of Juam and Youngsan reservoirs, modularity class were separated from other internal survey points of those. Given that the zooplankton interactions may contribute to freshwater functions more than species diversity. These topological features provide new insight into studying zooplankton distribution patterns, their organization and impacts on freshwater-associated function.

In this study, one studied the principal factors and water-quality components that determine the concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in seawater in estuaries, such as the Han, Geum, Youngsan, Seomjin, and Nakdong rivers in Korea. The principal factors determining the concentration of COD in seawater indicated by the principal component analysis were salinity, exogenous origin and autochthonous resources based on chlorophyll-a. Moreover, organic matter in the submarine sediment layer also had a secondary effect. Regression slope assessed the contribution of water-quality components to determine the concentration of COD in the estuary. One found that the effect of salinity on the overall survey was significant. Moreover, the effect of chlorophyll-a was also appeared in April and August. In each estuary, the most significant contribution factor was chlorophyll-a in the Nakdong River and salinity in the Han and Yongsan rivers. The contribution of salinity and chlorophyll-a were found to be the largest in the Geum River. The salinity and chlorophyll-a in the Seomjin River showed a low contribution.
