Water curtain cultivation (WCC) systems in Korea have depleted water resources in shallow aquifers through massive pumping of groundwater. The goal of this study is to simulate the groundwater variations observed from massive groundwater pumping at a site in Cheongweon. MODFLOW was used to simulate three-dimensional regional groundwater flow, and the SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) watershed hydrologic model was employed to introduce temporal changes in groundwater recharge into the MODFLOW model input. Additionally, the estimation method for groundwater discharge in WCC areas (Moon et al., 2012) was incorporated into a groundwater pumping schedule as a MODFLOW input. We compared simulated data and field measurements to determine the degree to which winter season groundwater drawdown is effectively modeled. A simulation time of 107 days was selected to match the observed groundwater drawdown from November, 2012 to March, 2013. We obtained good agreement between the simulated drawdown and observed groundwater levels. Thus, the estimation method using daily minimum temperatures, may be applicable to other cultivation areas and can serve as a guideline in simulating the regional flow of riverside groundwater aquifers.

This study assesses groundwater vulnerability to contaminants in industrial and residential/commercial areas of the city of Changwon, using DRASTIC technique and groundwater data. The DRASTIC technique was originally applied to situations in which the contamination sources are at the ground surface, and the contaminants flow into the groundwater with infiltration of rainfall. Mostly the industrial area has higher DRASTIC indices than the residential/commercial area. However, a part of the residential/commercial area having much groundwater production and great drawdown is more contaminated in groundwater than other industrial and the residential/commercial areas even if it has lowest DRASTIC indices in the study area. It indicates that groundwater contamination in urban areas can be closely related to excessive pumping resulting in a lowering of the water level. The correlation coefficient between minimum DRASTIC indices and the degree of poor water quality for 10 districts is as low as 0.40. On the other hand, the correlation coefficients between minimum DRASTIC indices and the groundwater discharge rate, and between minimum DRASTIC indices and well distribution density per unit area are 0.70 and 0.87, respectively. Thus, to evaluate the potential of groundwater contamination in urban areas, it is necessary to consider other human-made factors such as groundwater withdrawal rate and well distribution density per unit area as well as the existing seven DRASTIC factors.

It is a well known fact that baseflow discharge of rainfall runoff impacts on water quality of surface water significantly. In this paper, impacts of nitrate discharged as base flow on stream water quality were studied by using a software, PULSE from USGS to calculate monthly ground water discharge from hydrograph. We used water quality and flow rate data for Ghapcehon2 site in Daejeon city for year 2005 as well as ground water quality data in the watershed acquired from government agencies. Agricultural and forestry land use are dominant for upstream of Ghapcheon2 in the watershed. Base flow contributes about 85~95% of stream flows during spring and fall while 25~38% of stream flow was induced by base flow during summer and winter. Monthly nitrate loading discharged as base flow for Ghapcheon2 was estimated by using averaged nitrate concentration of groundwater in the watershed. Nitrate loading induced by base flow at Ghapcheon2 was estimated as 5.4 ton of $NO_{3}{^-}-N/km^{2}$, which is about 60% of nitrate loading of surface water, 9.2 ton of $NO_{3}{^-}-N/km^{2}$. Seasonal variation of nitrate concentration of base flow was estimated by dividing monthly nitrate loading by monthly base flow discharge. Nitrate concentration of groundwater was increasing from rainy season. From this study, it can be understood that ground water quality monitoring is important for the proper manage of surface water quality.

It is important to introduce a local adaptive water supply system for upper mountainous regions, which provide a margin of water supply. This can be done through the process of securing a water source, planning for optimal use, and combining it with a water source that can be linked. In particular, in a mountainous region located at the uppermost part of the watershed, an approach should be found to utilize the groundwater discharge supplied through valley water and lateral discharge. This study sought to improve the water supply system using sand dams in drought-prone areas in Chuncheon, in Gangwon Province. Our approach involved virtually installing a sand storage tank under the existing water source to perform modeling in consideration of the current water intake and calculating the amount of water that can be taken from the sand dam. When the sand dam was applied at a size four times larger than the existing water source, it was found that the groundwater drainage increased significantly with changes in water surface slope and hydraulic conductivity.

Objective of this study was to assess rice growth and percolation water salinity under the irrigation of the discharge waters from the municipal wastewater treatment plant and from the industrial wastewater treatment plant as alternative water resources during transplanting season. Three kinds of waters were irrigated; the discharge water from an industrial wastewater treatment plant (DIWT), the discharge water from the municipal wastewater treatment plant (DMWT), and groundwater. Concentrations of $COD_{er}$, $NH_4{^+}_-N$, $Mn^{2+}$, and $Ni^+$ in DIWT, SS content and $PO_4-P$ concentrations in DMWT were higher than those of reuse water criteria of other country for agricultural irrigation. The plant height in the irrigation of DMWT was shorter by 2 cm than the groundwater irrigation except for 10 days irrigation. However, the number of tillerings was not significantly different between DMWT and the groundwater. For the harvest index, there were no significant difference between DMWT and DIWT for 20 days irrigation, but slightly higher in DIWT than that of DMWT for 30 days irrigation regardless of soil types. The salinity of percolation water in the rhizosphere with irrigation of DIWT had more twofold than DMWT, but SAR value from DMWT had no significantly different from the groundwater irrigation. The average $EC_i$ values in the rooting zone irrigated with DIWT and DMWT for 30 days after rice transplanting were 4.7 and $3.4dS\;m^{-1}$ in clay loam soil, and were 3.5 and $2.5dS\;m^{-1}$ in sandy loam soil, respectively. There was dramatic decrease in $EC_i$ value at 30 days after rice transplanting even though $EC_i$ of DIWT had more twofold than DMWT. However, $EC_i$ from DMWT had no significant difference from the groundwater. Therefore, it might be considered that there was limited possibility to irrigate DMWT to overcome drought injury of rice transplanting season in paddy field.

The discharges of groundwater flow were estimated using Darcy's method along the coastal zone in the Masan Bay. The estimates using the information, i.e., groundwater level, location of the observation well, hydraulic conductivity, the thickness of the aquifer, and coastline length, were 1.65% of the precipitation of the watershed. The estimated groundwater discharges through fractured rock aquifer and the aquifer with sedimentary material were $0.7\times10^4$$m^2/year$and $1.0\times10^7$$m^3/year$ respectively. Whereas, the discharge estimated by KORDI (2003) using isotopes method is about 20 times larger than the estimates from this study because of the influence of the re-circulated seawater through the coastal zone aquifer. In order to quantify this effect in detail, the groundwater levels and salinity changes in the observation wells located in the coastal zone should be continuously monitored and analyzed.

This study was conducted to investigate the hydrological characteristics of groundwater level change and rainfall-runoff processes at the Moojechi Bog located in Mt. Jeungjok, Ulsan. The average runoff rate of bog was 0.58 which is similar to that of general mountainous watershed. In the short term hydrograph, runoff was increased slowly and It took a long time to arrive peak flow. After that time, the decreasing pattern of runoff was slower than that of general mountainous watershed. In case of the long term water budget, the Moojechi Bog had a abundant base flow and runoff was continued in spite of non rainfall period. The groundwater level was arrived peak flow immediately after rain stop but was decreased very slowly until the next rain. The change pattern of long term groundwater level was very similar to that of the amount of rain and discharge. The higher rainfall intensity was, the lower slope of recession curve on the groundwater level was and the longer rainfall duration was, the longer peak flow was. Judging from these results, Moojechi bog could be evaluated to have a constant groundwater level.

The purpose of this study is to identify the geology, geologic structure, hydrogeology and geomorphic characteristics of the Nari Basin and establish the controls on the discharge of water 20,000~40,000 m³/day from the Choosan Yongchulso, Ulleung Island, South Korea. Pumice and lapilli tuffs showing well-developed stratification are the predominant rock types surrounding the spring. The spring shows a structure whereby discharge occurs along a lens-like erosion cave formed by differential erosion of strata comprising tuff or pumice tuff. The Choosan Yongchulso is located at the point where the planation surface of the Nari Basin' ends and steep slopes begin. The basin is bounded on all sides by these steep slopes, except in the north, where the Choosan Yongchulso is located. Given these geomorphic characteristics, the Choosan Yongchulso is regarded as the ultimate outlet of the basin catchment area.

Increasing the river cross-section by barrage construction causes rises in the average river water levels and discharge rates in the rainy season. The time series patterns for groundwater levels measured at 23 riverside monitoring wells along the lower Nakdong River are compared for two cases: before and after water-filling at the Changnyeong-Haman Barrage. Monthly average groundwater levels indicate a distinct increase in groundwater levels in the upstream riverside close to the barrage. River-water level management by barrage gate control in August, during the rainy season, resulted in a 0.1 m decrease in groundwater levels, while water-filling at the barrage in December caused a 1.3 m increase in groundwater levels. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis indicate that seven groundwater monitoring wells and river water levels were in the same group before barrage construction, but that this number increased to 14 after barrage construction. Principal component analysis revealed that the explanation power of two principal components corresponding to river fluctuation, PC1 and PC2, was approximately 82% before barrage construction but decreased to 45% after construction. This finding indicates that the effect of the river level component that contributes to change in groundwater level, decreases after barrage construction; consequently, other factors, including groundwater pumping, become more important. Continuous surveying and monitoring is essential for understanding change in the hydrological environment. Water policy that takes groundwater-surface water interaction into consideration should be established for riverside areas.
