In the developing country like India, groundwater is the main sources for household, irrigation and industrial use. Its contamination poses hydro-geological and environmental concern. The hazardous waste sites such as landfills can lead to contamination of ground water. The contaminants existing at such sites can eventually find ingress down through the soil and into the groundwater in case of leakage. It is necessary to understand the process of migration of pollutants through sub-surface porous medium for avoiding health risks. On this backdrop, the present paper investigates the behavior of pollutants' migration through porous media. The laboratory experiments were carried out on a soil-column model that represents porous media. Two different types of soils (standard sand and red soil) were considered as the media. Further, two different solutes, i.e., non-reactive and reactive, were used. The experimental results are simulated through numerical modeling. The percentage variation in the experimental and numerical results is found to be in the range of 0.75- 11.23 % and 0.84 - 1.26% in case of standard sand and red soil, respectively. While a close agreement is observed in most of the breakthrough curves obtained experimentally and numerically, good agreement is seen in either result in one case.

오늘날 경제의 발전과 함께 여러 가지 환경 문제가 발생했다. 자연스레 사람들은 환경에 대한 관심이 높아졌으며 특히 식수에 대한 안전성과 오염도 조사에 대한 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 우리나라 국민들이 식수로 이용하는 지하수에서 우라늄 및 ²²²Rn 이 다수 지역에서 검출되고 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 지하수 내포함된 ²²²Rn 농도를 측정하는데 보다 정확한 측정을 위한 방법을 알아보고자 한다. 실험은 알파, 베타 펄스의 분석이 용이한 펄스파형분석 기능을 가진 저 준위 액체섬광계수기를 이용하여 실험하였다. 지하수 시료와 혼합하는 섬광체의 조제, 유효기간은 시간이 지날수록 검출값은 낮아지고, 에너지 스펙트럼도 낮은 쪽으로 channel 이동이 있었다. 섬광체의 구입시기가 오래 될수록, 개봉한 후 방치시간이 지날수록 검출값이 낮아짐을 확인했다. 사용목적이 다른 섬광체를 사용했을 경우 channel 이동으로 에너지를 확인할 수 있다.

Nitrate contamination in surface water and ground water have increased in Korea. This trend has raised concern because nitrates caused methemoglobinemia in infants. To remove nitrates from waters, various purification processes including ion-exchange, biological denitrification, and chemical denitrification are currently in use for the treatment of water. However, little economically advantageous process exists for the industrial scale treatment of effluents highly polluted with nitrates. A new process has been developed for nitrate and other salts removal from polluted waters. Alumina cement and lime served as precipitating agents to remove nitrate with stirring at basic pH. Decreasing alumina content in alumina cement result in a increasing in nitrate removal yield. Stable removal of nitrate(1000mg/L) was readily achieved by two-stage removal process.

This study has focused on investigation on As and heavy metal contamination derived from metalliferous mining activities in the Choongbuk Province in Korea. Soil, mine effluent, surface water and ground water samples were taken in and around 27 abandoned metal mines, and analyzed for As, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn using AAS and anions in water samples using IC. In general, the heavy metal concentrations in soils decreased with Increasing distance from the each mine audit. Tailings and mine waste soils from several mines contained over the guideline of Soil Conservation Act in Korea. Soil samples from the Seobo, Honga, Daehwa, Jeungjadong, Youngbo and Munbaek mines contained over the action levels of the metals due to intensive mining activities. Therefore, a proper remediation work needs to control the metal dispersion around the mines.

Runoff characteristics of organic matters and nutrients from greenhouse site in paddy field area were investigated during the irrigation period in 2004. The greenhouse selected which situated near the Nam river, Jinju, Korea used the ground water as the irrigation purpose. And, the rotating system of paddy field to upland was adapted as a cropping system which is a typical practice in this area. Various items such as total phosphorus(T-P), total nitrogen(T-N), dissolved oxygen(DO), BOD, etc. were observed to figure out the seasonal and spatial variation in the study sites. it was found that the risk of water pollution due to the contamination of nutrients in canals in green house sites, and their neighbouring small sized streams are much higher than those in ordinary paddy field areas. Further surveys and investigations are required to find out the counter measures to reduce water pollution occurred in greenhouse sites.

The main purpose of this research project is to monitor the present state of agricultural environment and to develope the countermeasures for the protection of the environment from the pollution by animal wastes. The results of this research were described largely 3 parts, 1) Monitoring of present state of environmental pollution by animal wastes, 2) Monitoring of animal wastes treatment technology, 3) Strategies for the protection of environmental pollution from animal wastes in future. The current most important problems from animal wastes are water pollution and air pollution commonly regardless of domestic or foreign country. Especially, intensive livestocks breeding pattern in restricted area is actually a real reason of eutrophication, soil acidification, ground water contamination, irrigation water pollution. As a result from this research project, authors recommend the 3 type of strategies for the protection of environmental pollution by animal wastes, 1 . Development of non-discharge type of wastes treatment technology 2. Manufacturing local structure for animal waste recycling system 3. Development of new international environmental program for transfer bioresource and soil environment prevention.

석탄합리화정책에 따라 많은 가행 광산들이 폐광을 하게 되고 이러한 폐광산들이 오랜 기간동안 방치되면서 폐광주변에는 지반침하, 침출수배출, 경관 훼손등의 환경오염을 수반하게 된다. 정부차원에서 여러 환경오염 방지대책이 진행중이나 이러한 환경오염 방지대책은 대부분 생태보호적인 관점에서 관심의 대상되어 왔고 우리가 이용하는 사회 인프라시설에 대한 영향은 상대적으로 소홀히 되어 왔다. 광산은 대부분 산악에 위치하며 이러한 위치조건상 폐광산 주변 중요 인프라시설로는 터널이 있을 수 있다. 이에 본 논고에서는 폐광산의 대표적 오염원인 광산폐수가 주변의 공용중인 터널에 미치는 영향의 종류와 사례에 대해 소개하였다.

근래 건설현장에서의 연약처리문제는 자주 대두되는 문제이며, 이러한 연약지반을 개량하기 위한 고압분사공법은 없어서는 아니될 필수적인 공법이지만 적용에 있어서 보강효과미흡, 지하수 및 지반오염문제 등 해결해야할 선결문제가 있다. MJM(Mortar Jet Method)공법은 주입재료로서 기존의 시멘트 외에 모래를 혼합하여 획기적 강도증대가 가능하며 3중관으로서, 슬라임 배출을 용이하게 하는 노즐을 부착시켜 치환율을 높여 전단면이 균질한 주상형고결체를 형성시킬 수 있고 특히, 해성점토 지반에서 기초말뚝으로서의 활용이 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 MJM공법의 실내 시험 및 현장시험시공을 통해 현장 적용성을 검토하였다.

Geophysical investigations, as a non-invasive method, were conducted at the former gas station site contaminated with fuel hydrocarbons. GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) survey was performed to locate buried objects such as USTs (Underground Storage Tanks) and fuel pipes which might serve as a origin of the site contamination. Additional GPR investigation and a resistivity survey were conducted to map water table and to characterize shallow geologic structures of the site. The results of the study have shown that seven USTs including one unknown UST and buried fuel pipes are present, and that the groundwater elevation varies with topography from approximately 1.5 to 3m below the surface and the water table is located in the residual soils above the bedrock in the site. The results also show that the geophysical methods can be a very useful tool for the characterization of the contaminated site.

The water resource depending on mostly surface water has many problems, such as contaminated and unpredicted contamination event. For this reason, it has been employed highly technical treatment method for them, such as ground water dam and river bank filtration. it has been developed the radial collector wells in kind of bank filtration to increase efficiency for in-taking the water resource insead of the vertical well needed many wells to take more resource. But it has many problems with the incumbent method to bore the horizontal hole for radial collector wells, such as filling with the filter material outside of a strainer by watering, jamming as retrieving the casing tube with the filter material, eccentric boring etc. To reduce the problems of incumbent equipment, it has been developed the horizontal boring equipment and performed the field trial tests several times, which have bits and water jetting system with rotating the cone-shaped front to be excavated easily. In this paper, it was compared the brand-new with the incumbent non-rotating pressing insertion method. Also it was shown the problems of the incumbent method was reduced effectively.
