This study reviewed the groundwater policies of USA as a benchmarking for the purpose of improving groundwater polices, regulations, and plans in Korea. Each state of the USA has its own unique groundwater policies. Recently, severe drought in the western parts of the USA resulted in the launch of the California Statewide Groundwater Elevation Monitoring (CASGEM) program. CASGEM classified a total of 515 alluvial groundwater basins of the California State to four prior groups (high, medium, low, and very low prioritization). In Texas, a total of 101 Groundwater Conservation Districts (GCDs) over the state has controlled groundwater pumping amounts in their own management areas and 16 Groundwater Management Areas (GMAs) over the state have directly managed groundwater aquifer. Direct management for aquifers by GMAs would be the most scientific method for groundwater management, which expected to provide water consumers the more advavnced groundwater service. These groundwater management strategies of the USA can be possibly considered in groundwater plans for national and local governmental authorities, which possibly results in more optimal groundwater management in Korea.

The contamination of chlorinated ethenes at an industrial complex, Wonju, Korea, was examined based on sixteen rounds of groundwater quality data collected from 2009 to 2013. Remediation technologies such as soil vapor extraction, soil flushing, biostimulation, and pumping-and-treatment have been applied to eliminate the contaminant sources of trichloroethylene (TCE) and to prevent the migration of TCE plume from remediation target zones. At each remediation target zone, temporal monitoring data before and after the application of remediation techniques showed that the aqueous concentrations of TCE plume present at and around the main source areas decreased significantly as a result of remediation technologies. However, the TCE concentration of the plumes at the downstream area remained unchanged in response to the remediation action, but it showed a great fluctuation according to seasonal recharge variation during the monitoring period. Therefore, variations in the contaminant flux across three transects were analyzed. Prior to the remediation action, the concentration and mass discharges of TCE at the transects were affected by seasonal recharge variation and residual DNAPLs sources. After the remediation, the effect of remediation took place clearly at the transects. By tracing a time-series of plume evolution, a greater variation in the TCE concentrations was detected at the plumes near the source zones compared to the relatively stable plumes in the downstream. The difference in the temporal profiles of TCE concentrations between the plumes in the source zone and those in the downstream could have resulted from remedial actions taken at the source zones. This study demonstrates that long term monitoring data are useful in assessing the effectiveness of remediation practices.

Background: Concerns have been raised regarding the criteria of groundwater, in particular in Gwangwon-do Province where many residents drink groundwater due to the poor supply of tap water and a high nonconformity rate with water quality criteria nationwide. Objectives: Water quality monitoring and risk assessment were conducted for groundwater in Hoengseong, Gangwon-do Province. Methods: A total of 46 items required for meeting drinking water criteria were analyzed from 258 samples collected from March 2017 through August 2018 (152 sites in 2017 and 106 sites in 2018). Risk assessment was conducted for two non-carcinogens (F^- and NO₃-N), and one carcinogen (i.e., arsenic) based on their high nonconformity to water quality criteria. Results: Water quality analysis revealed that the total proportion of nonconformities was determined to be 27.9%. The nonconformity rate for each content item is as follows: total colony counts (1.6%), total coliform (6.2%), Escherichia coli (1.2%), F^- (8.1%), arsenic (4.7%), NO₃-N (8.1%), pH (1.2%), manganese (0.4%), and turbidity (5.8%). Risk assessment indicated that fluoride induced a hazard quotient greater than 1 with the 95% UCL (Upper Confidence Limit) concentration of the total 258 sites and average, median, and 95% UCL concentrations of nonconformity sites. For NO₃-N, there was no human health risk. For arsenic, the excess cancer risk exceeded the acceptable cancer risk of 1×10^-6 with the average and 95% UCL concentrations of total 258 sites and average, median, and 95% UCL concentrations of nonconformity sites. Conclusions: This study suggests that it is necessary to expand water quality monitoring of groundwater and conduct a more detailed risk assessment in order to establish a health care plan for the residents of Hoengseong, Gangwon-do Province.

Groundwater contamination susceptibility studies have many advantages in groundwater monitoring, management and future planning. Several methods have been developed and applied to the groundwater regime through out the world. However, each and every method has some limitations. In this study, a detailed review was carried out about the already existing methods for groundwater contamination susceptibility studies. Additionally, a new parameter called mineral dissolution factor is recommended for groundwater contamination susceptibility studies. This parameter is applied for groundwate contamination susceptibility studies in Namwon area, Korea. The result of this approach suggests that mineral dissolution parameter could overcome the limitations as observed in the earlier methods.

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was investigated to understand the BTEX extraction behavior of SPME in groundwater. Analytical procedure was conducted In both conventional and headspace mode. And the conventional direct extraction method and the headspace analysis method were compared. Data obtained with direct and headspace SPME were very similar and showed successful results. In headspace analysis, the linearity was better and RSD (relative standard deviation, %) was smaller than direct extraction.

This study is a part of the project to identify water-quality degradation mechanism due to Fe and Mn in the river-bank infiltration system in the Changwon city, Kyungsangnam-Do. Results of hydrogeochemical logging indicated that the matrix of the river bank affects groundwater quality, probably related with the hydraulic conductivities of the different layers of bank deposits. Electric conductivity logging data clearly show various layers of groundwater flows. Further studies are necessary to identify mechanisms of increasing dissolved oxygen contents with depths at some monitoring wells.

보의 건설 및 하천 단면의 증가는 하천 수위 상승과 호우기 유출량의 증가를 가져왔다. 낙동강 중하류에 설치된 23개의 지하수 관측망 지하수위 자료를 사용하여 보 담수 전후의 지하수위 시계열 변동 유형의 변화를 분석하였다. 월평균 지하수위 자료를 토대로 담수 전후의 지하수위를 비교한 결과 보의 직상류 주변 지역에서 지하수위 변동이 가장 크게 나타났으며, 8월의 경우 하천 수위 조절 효과로 월평균 지하수위가 0.1 m 감소하였으나 10월에는 1.3 m 상승한 것으로 나타났다. 지하수위 시계열 자료와 하천 수위 자료를 사용하여 군집분석을 실시한 결과, 담수 이전에는 7개 지하수 관측망의 자료가 하천 수위와 유사성 거리가 가까운 그룹이었으나, 담수 이후에는 14개로 증가하여 하천 수위와 유사한 그룹의 범위가 넓어졌다. 지하수위 시계열에 대한 주성분분석 결과, 담수 이전에는 하천 변동성을 대표하는 주성분(주성분 1과 주성분 2)의 설명력이 총 82%이었으나, 담수 이후에는 하천 변동성을 설명하는 주성분(주성분 1)의 설명력이 45%로 줄어들어 지하수위 자료를 설명하는데 하천 요인의 기여도가 줄고 인위적인 양수 등과 같은 기타 요인의 기여도가 높아졌다. 이와 같이 변화되는 수문 환경에 대비하여 지속적인 조사 및 관측이 필요하며, 하천 주변에서는 지표수와 연계되는 지하수 관리 정책이 수립될 필요가 있다.

낙동강 하류지역 주변 충적층 지역내 설치 운영중인 27개의 지하수 관측정의 시계열 자료를 활용하여 지표수와 지하수의 연계 특성 평가를 위한 통계적 분석을 수행하였다. 지하수위의 변화는 하천수위의 변화와 교차상관계수가 0.601로서 연관성이 높은 것으로 분석되었으며, 이는 강우와의 교차상관계수 0.125보다 매우 높다. 지하수위 시계열 자료에 대한 주성분 분석 결과, 연구지역내 지하수위는 2개의 그룹으로 분류된다. 이중에서 그룹 A에 속하는 하천에 인접한 관측정에서의 수위 변화는 하천수와 유사한 변동을 보이며 호우시의 지하수위 상승량도 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 홍수 발생에 대한 지하수 기여에 대한 추가적 이해를 위해서는 지하수위 변동 특성을 기반으로 지구화학 분석 및 온도 계측 등이 추가적으로 수행될 필요가 있다.

본 연구에서는 산지 지형에서 토취장을 개발할 경우 상부의 지반 굴착으로 인한 지하수계의 변화를 현장 계측자료와 모델링을 활용하여 예측하고자 하였다. 9개소의 시추조사를 통하여 지층 분포와 수리상수를 구하고 현장 지하수위 조사를 실시하였으며, 물수지 분석에 의한 지하수 함양량을 추정한 후 Modflow 프로그램에 적용함으로써 지하수위 변화를 예측하였다. 토취장 개발로 40 El.m 이상 지역이 제거될 경우를 가정하여 부정류 모델링을 수행한 결과, 토취장 최인접 지역에서 최대 1m 정도의 지하수위 강하가 나타나는 것으로 예측되었다. 또한, 절토로 인한 상부 지형의 제거는 9.4% 및 7.0%의 지하수 함양량과 지표 유출량의 감소를 초래하는 것으로 예측되었는데, 이는 지하수위 변화를 야기하는 요인으로 평가되었다. 향후 토취장 개발이 시작되면 이와 같은 지하수위 변화를 지속적으로 파악하기 위하여 지하수 관측정을 설치 운영할 필요가 있다.
