Korea's modern waterworks began with construction of DDukdo water treatment plant in 1908 and has been growing rapidly along with the country's economic development. As a result, water supply rates have reached 98.5% based on 2013. Despite multilateral efforts for high-quality water supply, such as introduction of advanced water treatment process, expansion of waterworks infrastructure and so on, distrust for drinking tap water has been continuing and domestic consumption rate of tap water is in around 5% level and extremely poor comparing to advanced countries such as the United States(56%), Japan(52%), etc. Recently, the water management has been facing the new phase due to water environmental degradation caused by climate change, aging facilities, etc. Therefore, K-water has converted water management paradigm from the "clean and safe water" to the "healthy water" and been pushing the Smart Water City(SWC) Pilot Project in order to develop and spread new water supply models for consumers to believe and drink tap water through systematic water quality and quantity management combining ICT in the whole water supply process. The SWC pilot projects in Pa-ju city and Go-ryeong county were an opportunity to check the likelihood of the "smart water management" as the answer to future water management. It is needed to examine the necessity of smart water management introduction and nationwide SWC expansion in order to improve water welfare for people and resolve domestic & foreign water problems.

도시하천의 유출 및 수질특성을 홍제천 시험유역에서의 관측자료에 의하여 분석하였다. 시험유역의 수질은 건기시차집 관로에 의한 하수의 차단으로 비교적 양호한 수질을 보이는 반면, 이로 인하여 동기의 약 3-4개월동안에는 건천화의 현상을 보였다. 한편, 우기시에는 합류식 하수계통으로부터의 급격한 비점원 오염부하량의 증대를 보였다. 도시유출 및 수질을 해석하는 모형, SWMM, ILLUDAS, STORM, HEC-1 등을 적용하고 그 결과를 비교분석하였다. 또한, 시험유역에 대한 유출·수질상관식을 도출하고 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 검토 모형들은 전반적으로 양호한 적용성을 보였으며, 유출과 수질해석의 양면에서 SWMM이 검토모형중에서 가장 우수한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 실측자료에 근거한 유출·수질상관 모형을 도출하였으며 우기시의 오탁부하량의 근사산정에 효과적인 것으로 판단되었으나, 유량이 관측 자료의 범위를 벗어나면 그 정확도가 크게 떨어졌다. 이 모형은 대상 유역의 관측자료 확충으로 보완되어 나가야 할 것이다. 한편 현재 실무에서 널리 사용되는 HEC-1도 도시유역에서 경제적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

From March 1, 2005 to August 31, 2006 mineral water wells were selected for 13 areas in Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore) and 20 areas in Northeast Asia (Korea, North Korea, China, Japan) and the study on their mineral water quality was analyzed. - Mineral water quality was the best in Korea. Mineral spring waters in some area of China and North Korea and in the whole area of the Southeast Asia were of poor quality. - The hardness of mineral water was the low in Korea $(10{\sim}47mg/L\;as\;CaCO_3)$, Japan $(4{\sim}66mg/L\;as\; CaCO_3)$, Geumgang-san North Korea Area $(4mg/L\;as\;CaCO_3)$. Mineral spring water in Thailand, Indonesia $(1{\sim}97.5mg/L\;as\;CaCO_3)$ and in the other area $(120{\sim}1205mg/L\;as\;CaCO_3)$ were high degree of hardness. - pH value in the mineral water of Southeast Asia $(pH\;6.7{\sim}8.2)$ and Northeast Asia $(pH\;5.9{\sim}7.9)$ was up to WHO standard $(pH\;6.5{\sim}8.5)$. Fluorine of negative ion was found in 10 mineral waters: Indonesian mineral water 'ATARTN'(0.02mg/L), Thailand mineral water 'SIAM' (0.6mg/L), 'MASAFI' (0.02mg/L). Korean mineral water 'SAEMMULNARA' (1.1mg/L), 'SANSU'(0.6mg/L), 'ICIS'(0.3mg/L), 'DONGWON SAEM-MUL'(0.03mg/L), 'PYEONGCHANG' (0.6mg/L), North Korean mineral water 'KUMGANGSAN'(0.1mg/L), Japanese mineral water 'CRYSTAL GEYSER'(0.55mg/L). However Fluorine in the other 23 mineral waters were not detectable.

Whole amount of waste water, approximately 921.6 liter, for cleaning a ready mixed concrete truck should be used to produce concrete as a mixing water or cleaning water. Recycling water for concrete mixing contains solids, which cause decrease in slump, air and compressive strengths, so it may influence on poor concrete quality. Therefore, it has been maintained to use recycling water with less than 3 percent of solids. Since no evaluation system has been constructed to directly reflect on variability of recycling water from ready mixed concrete plants, it is necessary to develop "Automatic recycling solid measuring system" for quality controls in real time. In this research, sensors measuring waste water concentration in ultrasonic and inductance methods were developed, and automatic system using the sensors were established. The accuracy of measurement sensors developed for recycling water based on various conditions of concentration was proved, and application limits were evaluated. Also, concentration of recycling water using sensors developed from ready mixed concrete plant was measured, and curing method verified the accuracy of the sensors. Moreover, measurement sensors for recycling water in various locations were installed to evaluate the effects on measuring method and spots. The automatic measuring system for recycling water concentration, which is developed in the research, will contribute to improve concrete quality safety through reliable solids maintenance.

In modern society, we are living indoor at 80 - 90 % or more of the day, therefore most people are exposed to unconscious indoor air pollutants by various causes. When mother and infant, whose level of immunity are weak, are exposed to polluted indoor air, respiratory diseases and atopy can occur by the growth of bacteria. Therefore, appropriate indoor air quality management is important especially at nursery, elementary school and postpartum clinic etc. In this study, we compared the characteristics of the indoor air qualities of primary school facilities and infant facilities. In this study, seasonal effects were investigated. Also the effects of individual activity area were studied for indoor air quality. During summer season(May-August), the air qualities of each 16 elementary school and nursery school were investigated. During winter season(October-december), the air qualities of each 10 elementary school and nursery school were investigated. As a result, during winter season in 10 of 16 nursery school, $CO_2$ concentration exceeded regulation level of 1000 ppm. This resulted from the operation of heating system and poor ventilation. Also the air quality of all parameters during winter season were worse than during summer, maybe due to poor ventilation. Except HCHO, the concentrations of other parameters were higher in nursery school. This seems to result from relatively low individual activity area of nursery school than elementary school. From this research, more strong regulation for ventilation and installation of air purifier should be implemented.

Recently, the antiwashout underwater concrete has been increasingly used for underwater structure such as high strength massive concrete structures. However, Concrete has poor quality ad durability due to dilution with separating cementitious material. In this study, specimens were made with antiwashout underwater concrete replaced with mineral admixtures to improve their properties and were placed in air, water, and salt water. To estimation the chloride ion permeation in concrete, ASTM C 1202 Test was performed. The experimental results demonstrate that the increase of the admixtures improved the properties of antiwashout underwater concrete.

This paper reviews the infrastructure of the water supply and sewerage system in North Korea. North Korean has similar legal protection to preserve water environment that can be seen in Republic of Korea, but North Korean regulations seemed lack of detailed measures. The critical pollution problems of rivers and lakes in the northern part of peninsula is mainly due to the lack of sewage collection system and poor treatment works. It has been estimated that less than 20% of sewers are connected to the wastewater treatment plants. Although the availability of water resources seemed sufficient, North Koreans suffer the lack of the drinking water supply which needs an urgent attention. Based on the analysis, it has been suggested that the reconstruction of North Korean water and sewage infrastructure needs at least 17.5 trillion Korean Won.

현행 수질모니터링은 현장에서 수질 시료를 채취하여 실험실로 이동 후 분석하는 방법에 의존하고 있다. 이러한 분석기법은 노동집약적이며 경제적으로도 많은 부담이 주어진다. 그러나 현행 모니터링시스템을 개선하기 위하여 보다 짧은 시료채취주기 또는 시료채취지점 확대 등과 같은 방법을 동원하는 것은 인력 및 경제적 측면을 고려할 때 현실적으로 거의 불가능에 가깝다. 따라서 인력 및 경제적인 측면에서 큰 부담없이 현행 수질모니터링기법을 보완할 수 있는 방안이 고려되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 모델링 기법을 도입하여 현행 수질모니터링 시스템을 보완하고자 하였고 인공신경망모델을 적용하였다. 인공신경망은 사람의 뇌에서 일어나는 작용을 모방한 기법으로 인지할 수 있는 현상을 뇌가 종합적으로 판단하는 과정을 컴퓨터에서 구현하는 방식인데 수질 예측을 위해 이러한 인공신경망기법을 도입 하였다. 본 연구에서는 수질 인자 중 Total coliform 을 타겟으로 하여 하천말단부에서 이들 인자를 예측할 수 있는지에 중점을 두고 연구를 수행하였다. 연구결과 제한된 입력인자를 이용하여 모델을 검보정하였음에도 불구하고 좋은 예측 성능을 보였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 사용된 기법을 근거로 수질상태를 사전에 예측함으로 수계 관리를 수행한다면 현 수질모니터링 시스템 보완에 큰 도움일 될 것으로 기대된다.

To enhance the efficiency of water treatment and reduce the extent of membrane fouling, the membrane separation process is frequently preceded by other physico-chemical processes. One of them might be ion exchange. The aim of this work was to compare the efficiency of natural organic matter removal achieved with various anion-exchange resins, and to verify their potential use in water treatment prior to the ultrafiltration process involving a ceramic membrane. The use of ion exchange prior to ceramic membrane ultrafiltration enhanced final water quality. The most effective was MIEX, which removed significant amounts of the VHA, SHA and CHA fractions. Separation of uncharged fractions was poor with all the resins examined. Water pretreatment involving an ion-exchange resin failed to reduce membrane fouling, which was higher than that observed in unpretreated water. This finding is to be attributed to the uncharged NOM fractions and small resin particles that persisted in the water.
