Environmental policy implementation has been strengthened to protect the source waters in Korea and to improve their water quality. Increasing of non-point source caused water quality problem continuously. Research on runoff from forests, which occupy over 65% of the land in korea, is insufficient, and studies on the characteristics and influences of storm runoff are necessary. In this study, we chose to compare the effects of land use in the form of two types of forest distribution and then gathered data on storm characteristics and runoff properties during rainfall events in these areas. Furthermore, the significance and influences of the discharges were analyzed through correlation analysis, and multilateral runoff characteristics were examined by deducing a formula through $COD_{Mn}$ and TOC regression analysis. At two forest points, for which the basin areas differed from each other, flow changed according to storm quantity and intensity. The peak discharge at point A, where the basin area was big, was high, whereas water-quality fundamental items (BOD, $COD_{Mn}$, and SS) and TOC density were high at point B where the slope and storm intensity were high. Effects of dissolved organic matter were determined through correlation analysis, and the regression formulas for $COD_{Mn}$ and TOC were deduced by regression analysis. It is expected that the data from this study could be useful as basic information in establishing forest management measures.

A natural wetland in the Nakdong River basin which effectively removes non-point source pollutants was investigated for 2 years to understand wetland topography, vegetation types, and water quality characteristics. The water depth of the natural wetland was in the range of 0.5~1.9 m which is suitable for the growth of non-emergent hydrophytes. The wetland has a high length to width ratio (3.3:1) and a relatively large wetland to watershed area ratio (0.057). A broad-crested weir at the outlet increases the retention time of the wetland whose hydrology is mainly dependent on storm events. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the growing season and the winter season showed anoxic and oxic conditions, respectively. Diurnal variations of DO and pH in the growing season were also observed due to weather change and submerged plants. COD and TP concentrations were low in the winter season due to low inflow rate and increased retention time. Increased TP concentrations in the spring season were caused by degradation of dead wetland plants. Nitrogen in the wetland was mostly in organic nitrogen form (>75%). During the growing season, ammonium concentration was high but nitrate nitrogen concentration was low, possibly due to anoxic and low pH conditions which are adverse conditions for ammonificaiton and nitrification. The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for design, operation, monitoring and management of a constructed wetland which is designed to treat diffuse pollutants in the Nakdong river watershed.

The objective of this study is to construct the watershed management system with link of the non-point sources model and to estimate delivery ratio duration curves for various pollutants. For the total water pollution load management system, non-point source model should be performed with the study of the characteristic about non-point sources and loadings of non-point source and the allotment of pollutant in each area. In this study, daily flow rates and delivered pollutant loads of Nakdong river basin are simulated with modified TANK model and minimum variance unbiased estimator and SWAT model. Based on the simulation results, flow duration curves, load duration curves, and delivery ratio duration curves have been established. Then GIS analysis is performed to obtain several hydrological geomorphic characteristics such as watershed area, stream length, watershed slope and runoff curve number. As a result, the SWAT simulation results show good agreements in terms of discharge, BOD, TN, TP but for more exact simulation should be kept studying about variables and parameters which are needed for simulation. And as a result of the characteristic discharges, pollutants loading with the runoff and delivery ratios, non-point sources effects were higher than point sources effects in the small-scale test bed of Nakdong river basin.

In this study, Song-Cheon river Basin located at Dae-kwan-lyong Meyn in Kang-Won Province was monitored to analyze characteristics of non-point source pollution during the snowmelt period. The characteristics of NPS pollution such as runoff, change in water quality and pollutant loads by snowmelt were investigated from 23th February 2010 to 27th April 2010. The results showed that The climate change effects flow, turbidity and concentration of SS and COD with showing similar trend of fluctuation. Daily pollutant loads per unit area were SS 74.43 kg/ha/day, COD 1.25 kg/ha/day, BOD 0.21 kg/ha/day, TN 0.717 kg/ha/day, TP 0.141 kg/ha/day and the flow weight mean concentration has been SS 985.97 mg/L, COD 16.28 mg/L, BOD 2.67 mg/L, TN 9.302 mg/L, TP 1.834 mg/L, respectively. The flow and pollutant loads both of SS and of COD significantly increased during the snowmelt period. Because structurally loosen soil by freezing and thawing deteriorates water quality, research and management measures will be needed.

The occurrence of human norovirus (NoV) genogroup I (GI) and genogroup II (GII) strains was investigated in Korea. Between 2007 and 2010, 265 samples were collected from 89 Korean water source locations. NoV GI was detected in 4.5% and NoV GII in 1.5%. Samples collected in winter had the highest occurrence; 9.4% for NoV GI and 6.3% for NoV GII. NoV GI detection was highest in groundwater, with the next highest in river water and the lowest in lake water (5.9%, 5.4%, and 1.6%, respectively), and NoV GII was found only in river water. When three representative Korean basin systems (Han (H)-, Geum/Seom (G/S)-, and Nakdong (N)-river basins) were compared, both NoV genogroups were high in the G/S-, but absent in the H- river basin. The most prevalent genotypes within the GI and GII groups were GI.5 and GII.4, respectively. The NoVs found in surface water were identical to those found in patients and those found in groundwater. The NoVs appeared to be transmitted from the patient to the surface water, and then to the groundwater, suggesting a fecal-oral route of transmission. This is the first nationwide surveillance of NoV in major Korean water sources.

지형요인이 어떻게 수질에 영향을 주는가를 연구하고자 1993년 3월 부터 1998년 3월까지 조사를 실시하였다. 조사지는 충북 옥천군 이원면의 경작지가 주류를 이루는 개심저수지와 산지유역으로 특성지워지는 장찬저수지 유역을 대상으로 하였다. 조사유역을 11개 소집수역으로 세분하고 지형학적 특성과 하천수질과의 상관성, 하천 유역의 오염원 동태를 생태학적 관점에서 규명하고자 조사를 실시하였다. 개심저수지 유역의 형상계수는 0.030∼0.210(평균 0.090), 장찬저수지 유역의 형상계수는 0.217∼0.452 (평균 0.325)로 장찬저수지 유역의 형상계수가 3.61배 더 높다. 개심저수지의 E(지정리와 미동리), F(윤정리) 소집수역은 금강유역 전체의 형상계수 0.063과 비슷하여 홍수유속시간이 금강과 유사하였다. 하천길이와 유역면적의 관계식은 L=1.44A/sup 0.06/로 보정되었다. 환상율은 개심저수지 유역 17.114, 장찬저수지 유역 7.444로, 강수도달시간은 금강 전체 유역보다 5배 빠른 것으로 추정되었다. 세장율은 개심저수지 유역 0.357 (금강 0.282), 장찬저수지 0.636으로 나타나 장찬저수지 유역에서 강수집합시간이 1.54배 더 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 각 집수역별 강수도달시간은 장찬저수지 유역의 A' 소집수역이 337.53 min.로 가장 느렸으며 개심저수지 유역의 H 소집수역은 49.26 min.로 가장 빠른 것으로 나타났는데, 대체적으로 하류로 갈수록 강수집합시간이 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 곡의 밀도는 0.500∼l.337범위에 있었으며 강수침투와는 역의 상관을 나타낸다. 따라서 인위적으로 하천을 막거나 개절(開切), 직선배수로화는 홍수를 유발할 가능성이 많고, 하천의 자정능력을 떨어뜨리는 결과를 낳을 것으로 판단되었다. 개심저수지와 장찬저수지의 수계빈도(Df)와 곡의 밀도(Dd)의 관계는 개심저수지 유역 Df=0.023Dd², 장찬저수지유역 Df=0.189Dd²으로 산정되었다. 평균경사는 개심 14.03, 장찬 16.9로서 장찬저수지가 유량이 많아지기 쉬운 것으로 조사 되었다. 경사가 증가하면 용존산소량은 증가하지만, 증가폭은 크질 않은 것으로 나타났다. COD와 평균경사는 유의한 상관이 없었으나 BOD는 평균경사와 유의한 상관이 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 형상계수와 환상률 및 총질소와의 관계는 형상계수(Y/sub TKN/=0.7271X＋0.0967)와 환상률이 커질수록 TKN이 증가하였다. (Y/sub TKN/=0.1577X-0.1501). BOD와 COD는 1BOD/l.2COD의 관계가 있었다.

The amount of the heating and cooling energy of water source heat pump using the raw water from the Paldang water intake station is investigated in the study. The Han river water is conveyed in the large-size shallowly buried pipe. Averaged water temperature at the position, 27 km from the Paldang water intake station, is increased by $1.11^{\circ}C$ due to the geothermal energy transfer under the ground, therefore the raw water has more thermal energy than the river water. To estimate of the thermal energy for the raw water, it is assumed that the water source heat pump is used for the heating and cooling ventilation. When $5.0^{\circ}C$ temperature difference energy of the raw water is used in the heat pump system all the year except for the January and February in which $3.0^{\circ}C$ temperature difference energy is used. It is predicted that total 5,766.3 Tcal could be used in the metropolitan area a year, which is about 3.0% of the river water unutilized energy resources.

The relationship between land uses and water quality was investigated at Kyong-an Stream. Some 70% of this watershed was forested area, half of which was comprised of Pinus densilflora community. Concentrations of $NH_4^{+},\;NO_3^{-},\;NO_2^{-}, total nitrogen, $Cl^{-},\;PO_4^{3-}$, DO, and BOD increased gradually from upstream to downstream, whereas heavy metals did not have such tendancy with the exception of a few sites. Urban area was significantly correlated with hardness and chloride concentration. Relationship among phosphate concentration(P), cultivated field area(F), and stream length(S) in each basin was P = 1.7912 F/S＋0.0103. the concentration of $NH_4^{＋}$ was positively correlated with the population size and cow density within the catchment. The effect of urban area(U) and stream length of the pH(pH) was represented by pH = -4.7344 U/S＋6.52. It can be concluded that the control of nonpoint source pollution as well as point source pollution is one of the important problems of water quality management, especially geological properties must be considered for sustainable development.

The purpose of this study is the development of a system for estimating non-point sources pollutant loads from a watershed, which enables users to get insights of pollutant load distribution in the watershed during rain as well. Based on the Geographic Information System, this non-point source pollutant loading estimation system(NSPLES) consists of three distinct models such as a distributed rainfall-runoff model, a soil loss and delivery model, and a non-point source pollutant model. It also includes GIS modules for preprocessing the input data for the models and graphical postprocessing of the model outputs. The system output aren't only the hydrograph, sedimentograph, and pollutograph at the watershed outlet, but also various maps that show the distribution of soil loss over the watershed. The developed system was applied to the two upper stream areas of Sumjin river basin, Ssangchi and Gwanchon basins, and three rainfall events for respective subbasins during 1992 and 1998 were selected for the system application. The results of this showed relatively higher corelation between observed data and simulated data, and proved the applicability of the system.

본 연구는 선행연구들의 하천 유역 오염물질 및 오염도 분석결과를 바탕으로 하천 오염도와 지반 오염물질 간의 상호관계에 대해 분석하였다. 크게 도시 및 산업지구 인접 하천인 낙동강, 태화강, 안양천과 농 축산지 인접 하천인 영산강, 미호천으로 구분해 연구하였으며, 대상 오염원은 중금속 오염물질로 한정하였다. 도시 및 산업지구 인접 하천의 경우 중금속 오염물질 함유량이 일치하여 상관성을 보였으나 농 축산지 인접 하천의 경우 불일치하여 상관성을 밝히기 어려웠다. 도시 및 산업지구 인접 하천의 경우 점오염원의 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 지반오염에도 직접적인 영향을 미친 것을 알 수 있었고 농 축산지 인접 하천의 경우 점오염원보다 비점오염원의 영향을 많아 하천오염도와 지반오염의 상관성이 적은 것으로 나타났다.
