There are two Clausius inequalities. One involves the temperature of external reservoir and the other involves the temperature at the system boundary. It is shown that the former Clausius inequality can be established from a direct application of the proposition regarding the efficiency of a Carnot cycle based on an apparatus with two reservoirs. A different apparatus which also has two thermal reservoirs is utilized to compare the cyclic integral of the former inequality with that of the latter, resulting in the proof of the latter inequality.

There are need to manage the water quality to supply an safety to consumer through pipe and reservoir the drinking water that produced in a clean water reservoir. However, a management of water quality and monitoring in reservoir have never been performed. Recently, the government has enforced standards of water quality. However, we have a inferior technology of water quality as compared with one in USA, Japan, Germany, etc. In case of water quality inspection and analysis equipments, sensor technology is very important to improve the water quality inspection and to develop the analysis equipments. In this paper, we analyze a law and a regulation for management of drinking water quality, and propose the measurement standards of drinking water quality in pH, conductivity, residual chloride, turbidity and water temperature. Then, we analyze electrode sensors that interference within pH, conductivity, residual chloride in interference experiment.

Seasonal variation of algae distribution were studied in the Chuam reservoir from August 1996 to July 1997. As a result, 127 taxa were observed, representing 6 classes, 14 orders, 5 suborders, 29 families, 2 subfamilies, 54 genus, 118 species, 7 variaties and 2 formula. The majors of them are Chlorophyceae (59 taxa), Bacillariophyceae(39 taxa) and Cyanophyceae(20 taxa). The number of species was that 35 and 31 taxa were occurred in August 1996 and April 1997, 11 and 17 taxa in July 1997 and October 1996 respectively at Dam station, 53 taxa were occurred in September, 18 taxa in November at Munduck station. The biomass composition of occurrence species were as fallowes; Cyanophyceae are 80%, Bacillariophyceae 14% and Chlorophyceae 5% at Dam station and Cyanophyceae are 90%, Bacillariophyceae 1.3% and Chlorophyceae 0.4% at Munduck at Munduk station. At Munduk station, water bloom occurred by Cyanophyceae(99.9%, 3.7 $\times$ 10$^{7}$ cells/L) in November 1996 and the major causing algae was Microcrystis aeruginosa. Microcystis aeruginosa was dominant species (dominant index : 0.72 - 0.99) during summer and autumn, Fragilaria crotonensis and Asterionella formasa (DI : 0.33 - 0.74) during winter and spring. The water quality factors of the Chuam reservoir were that the values of water temperature ranged of 3.6 - 31.4$\circ$C, pH 6.7 - 9.0, conductivity 69.6-118.2 $\mu $s/cm, and turbidity 1.0-22.5 NTU, and the proper temperature of water for algae growth was 15 and 16.7$\circ $C in April and November. Also the concentration of dissolved oxygen(DO) ranged of 6.8-15.5mg/L, total nitrogen(T-N) 0.54-1.78 mg/L, total phosphrous (T-P) 0.003-0.034 mg/L, and chlorophyll-a 0.9-23.2mg/m$^{3}$. The concentration of Chlorophyll-a was in inverse proportion T-N/T-P ratio.

The biological and physicochemical factors and geosmin concentration were monitored in the Daechung Reservoir for 25 weeks from April to October in 1999. Geosmin was detected 5 times within a range of $1.16{\sim}5.28\;ng\;L^{-1}$, mostly in the late summer. The highest geosmin concentration was recorded on August 31, which also overlapped with the peaks of phycocyanin concentration, cyanobacterial density, and Anabaena spiroides density. A correlation analysis indicated that geosmin production was closely related with a high water temperature, pH, total dissolved phosphorus (TDP), and A. spiroides density. A water temperature of $27^{\circ}^C$, pH of 8.5, and TDP of $0.06\;mg\;L^{-1}$ were identified as the prerequisite environmental condition sand threshold values for geosmin production. Accordingly, under such conditions, an A. spiroides density above $10,000\;cells\;mL^{-1}$ indicates imminent geosmin occurrence.

Seasonal variations of cyanobacterial toxins (microcystins) in Yeongehun reservoir were studied from March to December, 2007. High level of microcystins production was shown during the late autumn and winter seasons. Total microcystins concentration increased sharply when the dominant species changed from Anabaena sp. to Microcystis aeruginosa. Microcystins-RR and -YR were the main components of the microcystins, whereas microcystin-LR was detected in small quantities. Especially, large amounts of microcystin-LR were detected when standing crops of M. aeruginosa increased exponentially. Total microcystins concentration showed a negative correlation with water temperature. However, total microcystins were lowly correlated with other environmental factors except for water temperature. As a result, this study clearly demonstrated that M. aeruginosa was the main producer of microcystins in Yeongchun reservoir.

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is a method used to improve the recovery factor of remaining hydrocarbon in reservoir. Polymer and surfactant EOR techniques have limitations depending on reservoir or production conditions (temperature, salinity, etc.) because the polymer and surfactant are highly affected by the reservoir conditions. In this study, analysis of the current improvements to chemical substances and application technologies was performed based on recent research data. Conventional polymer is readily degraded by the conditions of high temperature and high salinity. Therefore, new polymers and injection techniques have been developed to remediate such problems. In addition, surfactant applicable to shale and carbonate reservoirs is developed as petroleum recovery expands to unconventional reservoirs. However, these chemical substances are not widely used in the current oil fields due to high costs. Therefore, further studies must be conducted to reduce the cost and thus increase the effectiveness of EOR techniques.

Distributions of water temperature and DO profiles were investigated in Andong Reservoir from 1992 to 2004. Thermal stratification began to form from May of every year. Increasing water temperature of epilimnion, temperature difference between epilimnion and hypolimnion increased until August. Lower oxygen layer was formed at metalimnion from June or July of every year and there were 2 layers depending on each year. The two lower oxygen layers were affected by rainfall and inflow between July and September when thermal stratification was formed. The metalimnetic oxygen minima strongly formed at 2 layers, upper and lower part, when the average rainfall and inflow were ${\geqq}$ 170 mm, ${\geqq}$ 50 $m^3\;sec^{-1}$, respectively. It formed weakly when they were > 400 mm and > 200 $m^3\;sec^{-1}$ for one month. The upper part of low oxygen layers formed on the interface of epilimnion and metalimnion showed larger decreasing rate of DO than temperature and it disappeared around November. The lower part of those farmed on interface of metalimnion and hypolimnion existed until December and disappeared in January, this layer showed larger decreasing rate of temperature than DO. DO increased between the upper and lower part of the low oxygen layers. DO on hypolimnion increased under metalimnion and dramatically decreased near the bottom of the reservoir. Temperature of the inflow during rainy season was similar to that of the reservoir's metalimnion, DO was similar or higher and BOD, COD and SS increased. Density layer caused by turbidity was formed in metalimnion, and turbidity increased under the upper part (oxygen increasing layer) of metalimnetic DO minima layers reaching the maximum at the direct upper part of the lower DO minima layer. The upper part of DO minima layers formed on the interface of epilimnion and metalimnion is related to organic activity on the surface, and the lower part of those was considered to be the result of turbid water inflow to metalimnion during rainy season.

To anticipate and respond to harmful algae produced in a big artificial lake like Daecheong reservoir, development of a regional analysis computer system using GIS or RS technique is needed in addition to biological and chemical research. The purpose of this study is to develop a cyanobacterial blooming prediction model to prevent harmful algae produced in Daecheong reservoir and construct an early forecasting system based on GIS. For this purpose this paper examines previous studies related to the relationship between cyanobacteria and environmental factors in Daecheong reservoir and selects precipitation and air temperature as two important environmental factors for the development of cyanobacterial blooming prediction model. Data used in this study are water quality and weather data for three water regions in Daecheong reservoir between 2000 and 2004. Based on qualitative correlation analysis between cyanobacteria and environmental factors, this paper presents a Rump model which enables us to predict cyanobacteria in water regions of Daecheong reservoir. Under this model the prediction of initial occurrence time and growth period of cyanobacteria are possible. The model is also applied to the GIS-based early forecasting system for cyanobacteria, and finally a GIS which can predict cyanobacteria produced in Daecheong reservoir and can manage the related data is developed.

This study analyzed the relationship between environmental factors and the temporal changes of the bird populations during the every January from 1999 to 2016 (18 years) in Donglim reservoir. 'Winter Waterbird Census of Korea' data by National Institute of Biological Resources were used for the bird population data, and principal component analysis and cluster analysis were used to analyze the changes of annual population. The average temperature of January and the average storage rate of the reservoir were used as environmental factors. According to the results of the study, the population changes in the study area can be explained by the increase and decrease of two water bird groups and a mountain bird group. The average temperature of the years when the population of water bird groups increased was more than $1.4^{\circ}C$ in comparison with the year when mountain birds increased. On the other hand, the influence of the water content was not clear. The visiting of Baikal Teal affected by temperature was a factor affecting the other group of water bird and a mountain bird group. The results of this study suggest that the temperature change affects the global spatial distribution of birds and the migration of large population species such as Baikal Teal affects species composition and populations of birds at local scale. Therefore, understanding of environmental changes at large scale and spatial distribution of species and flock contributes to understand the temporal variation of the bird population at regional or local scales.

Cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon population is widely distributed in the world, and well known as harmful algae by producing toxins and off-flavor materials, thus belonging to one of the taxa that became more interested in the field of limnoecology. In this study, the frequency, intensity, and duration of Aphanizomenon occurrence were increased with the abnormal drawdown of water level in the winter in Boryeong Reservoir, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of them are compared with each other in the perspective of hydrometeorology (1998 to 2017) and limnology (2010 to 2017). In Korea, Aphanizomenon flourished mainly in high temperature, and the appearance in the low temperature was rare in total five times. The harmful cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon was observed in the low temperature (December to February) in Boryeong Reservoir from 2014, and then reached a maximum value of $2,160cells\;mL^{-1}$ in January 2017. In addition, the period exceeding $1,000cells\;mL^{-1}$ at this time was more than 3 months. This was simultaneously associated with abnormal water level fluctuation in the low temperature ($<10^{\circ}C$). The large drawdown of water level in the winter season has the potential to promote or amplify the germination and development of harmful algae. Also, subsequent water quality and ecological impacts(e.g., algal toxins and off-flavor substances) need to be considered carefully.
