The influence of the point source inflow on the water quality variation in the downstream of Hyeongsan River was investigated. As the results of seasonal variation, the pollutant concentrations of dry season were 1.5-4 times higher than those of wet season. The increase rate of $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, T-P due to point source were ranged to $8.1\sim42.6%$, $7.3\sim41.9%$ and $17.1\sim207%$ as the inflow of P1, P2 and P3, respectively. After P1, P2 and P3 inflow, the accumulated increase rate were 64.3%, 32.6%, 93.1% and 258.9% in $BOD_5$, $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, T-P, respectively. It was found that the influence of point source inflow on the water quality in the downstream of Hyeongsan River is severe.

The variation of inflow at stream and hydrologic performance for small scale hydro power (SSHP) plants due to variation of inflow have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow caused from rainfall condition. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for SSHP plants is established. Monthly inflow data measured at Andong dam for 32 years were analyzed. The existing SSHP plant located in upstream of Andong dam was selected and analyzed hydrologic performance characteristics. The predicted results from the developed models in this study show that the data were in good agreement with measured results of long term inflow at Andong dam and the existing SSHP plant. Inflow and ideal hydro power potential had increased greatly in recent years, however, these did not lead annual energy production increment of existing SSHP plant. As a results, it was found that the models developed in this study can be used to predict the primary design specifications and inflow of SSHP plants effectively.

The multi-reservoir operation problem for efficient utilization of water resources involves conflicting objectives, and the problem can be solved by varying weight coefficient on objective functions. Accordingly, decision makers need to choose appropriate weight coefficients balancing the trade-offs among multiple objectives. Although the appropriateness of the weight coefficients may depend on the total amount of water inflow, reservoir operating policy may not be changed to a certain degree for different hydrological conditions on inflow. Therefore, we propose to use fuzzy Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to rank the weight coefficients in consideration of the inflow variation. In this approach, we generate a set of Paretooptimal solutions by applying different weight coefficients on Coordinated Multi-reservoir Operating Model. Then, we rank the Pareto-optimal solutions or the corresponding weight coefficients by using Fuzzy DEA model. With the proposed approach, we can suggest the best weight coefficients that can produce the appropriate Pareto-optimal solution considering the uncertainty of inflow, whereas the general DEA model cannot pinpoint the best weight coefficients.

In order to understand the generation mechanism of the Ulleung Eddy, we carried out a series of numerical experiments using the nonlinear 11/2 - layer model allowing the inflow of the Tsushima Current. According to our numerical results, the Ulleung Eddy was generated due to the inflow variations of the Tsushima Current. Its inflow through the Korea Strait was deflected to the east due to the Coriolis force and the nonlinear self advection. Thus, an anticyclonic motion was formed at the north of the Korea Strait. The inflow became a coastal boundary current, and finally flowed out model ocean through the eastern exit. When the speed of inflow decreased slowly, the eddy- like motion at the north of the Korea Strait changed into an enclosed anticyclonic eddy of about 200 km in diameter. The Ulleung Eddy became circular shape due to the nonlinear self advection, then changed into elliptical shape in meridional direction because of the blocking effect of the western boundary.

To investigate effects of the inflow area on pool boiling heat transfer in a vertical annulus, the inflow area at its bottom has been changed from 0 to $1060.3mm^2$. For the test, a heated tube of 34 mm diameter and water at atmospheric pressure have been used. To elucidate effects of the inflow area on heat transfer results of the annulus are compared to the data of a single unrestricted tube. The change in the inflow area at the bottom of the annulus results in much variation in heat transfer coefficients. When the inflow area is $113.1mm^2$ the deterioration point of heat transfer coefficients gets moved up to the higher heat fluxes because of the convective flow at the bottom regions.

To prevent turbidity breakthrough in a depth filter caused by hydraulic shock loads, influence of turbidity and particle number in filtrate by variation of operating filter number depending on inflow change was investigated. Inflow quantity at the S water treatment plant (WTP) was varied and ratio of maximum/minimum inflow quantity was 2.2, therefore filtration velocity was also subsequently changed. The S WTP changed operating filter number depending on inflow variation to minimize change of filtration velocity. Particle breakthrough was not severe when operation system was changed, out-of-operation and re-start of filter was repeated depending on inflow quantity. Slight particle breakthrough was noticed when re-start of filter was implemented at the filter that had a cumulative filtration run time of less than 10 h or more than 50 h. This can be attributed to the inadequate ripening and over accumulation of particles on media. Therefore, it is more efficient to choose a re-starting filter basin which has cumulative filtration run time more than 10 h or less than 50 h to reduce particle breakthrough. Filter number variation depending on inflow change was proven to be a method for improvement of unit filter run volume (UFRV).

The energy losses due to surcharged flow at four-way combining manhole, which is mainly installed in the downstream of urban sewer system, is the main cause of inundation in urban area. Surcharged four-way combining manholes form various flow configuration such as straight through, T-type, and four-way manholes depending on variation of inflow discharge in inlet pipes. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze change of energy loss and estimate head loss coefficients at surcharged four-way combining manhole with variation of inflow discharge ratio. The hydraulic experimental apparatus which can change inflow ratios were installed to analyze the flow characteristics at four-way combining manhole. In this study, to calculate the head loss coefficient according to change of the inflow discharge ratios at the surcharged four-way combining square manhole, the discharge conditions of 40 cases which the inflow ratios of each inlet pipe were changed by 10% interval was selected. The head loss coefficient at surcharged square manhole showed the lowest value of 0.40 at the straight manhole and the highest value of 1.58 at the $90^{\circ}$ junction manhole. In the combining manholes (T-type and four-way), the head loss coefficients were calculated more higher as the lateral flow rate was biased. The contour map of head loss coefficient range was constructed by using the estimated head loss coefficients and the empirical formula of head loss coefficients was derived to consider the variation of inflow discharge ratios at the surcharged square manhole. The empirical formula could be applied to the design and assessment of the urban drainage system.

To investigate the status of irrigation water use and the degree of repeated use of irrigation water, observations for water balance analysis were made during the irrigation periods in 1986 and 1987 crop year. The total area of studied site is 1,441 ha. The site is a major portion of Jedaecheon basin which is located in Bubuk-myeon, Miryang-gun, Gyeongnam Province. The studied area was subdivided into six small blocks. The water balance analysis for these subdivided blocks were carried out considering characteristics of each block. Obtained results are as follow: 1.In mountainous sloppy paddy area(less than 7% slope), the surface inflow was 5A mm/day in average that is one third of the surface inflow into plain paddy area ; 16.7 mm/day. 2.The surface inflows at the vegetative stage and the ripening stage were 15.5 mm/day and 10.4 mm/day, respectively. Those figures were larger than the actual consumptive use at respective same stages ; 13.3 mm/day and 9.2 mm/day, respectively. Whereas, the surface inflow at generative stage was 12.5 mm/day which was less than 14.0 mm/day ; the actual consumptive use. 3.The range of the variation of water storage term was 1 mm/day. This means that there were no change in depth of ponded water on paddy fields. The relationship between the variation of water storage(AS) and the variation of ground water table(H) could be expressed as follow: : AS=0.14H+0.26 4.The ground water inflow: into the transition region ; paddy fields which are located continuously from the mountainous area to the plain area, was larger than the out flow from this region, in general. Rowever, in the plain region where the ground water utilization was predominant, the ground water outflow from this region was larger than inflow: to this region. The relationship between the ground water flow(G2- G1) and the consumptive use in large paddy area(D1-D2) could be expressed as follow: (G2-G1) =0.95(D1-D2) -3.79
