Applications of probiotics to shrimp ponds were carried out to determine their effects on water quality. Fermented solutions consisting of Bacillus spp. and Nitrosomonas spp. were applied to a 4 ha shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) pond from July to September, 2000. In the pond treated with probiotics, daily variations of DO and pH, and concentrations of DIN and DIP were lower than those in the ponds without probiotic treatment. Concentration of phytoplankton was less variable and the number of species was more variable in the probiotic-treated pond than those in the control pond. Variation of bacterial numbers and the number of Vibrio spp. were lower in the treated pond than those in the control pond. It is confirmed that the probiotics can be used to improve water quality of the shrimp ponds.

Corrosion control, in the end-shield cooling system of Wolsung Nuclear Power Plant, is directly related to the control of dissolved oxygen (DO). The current method, being used to deoxygenate the end-shield cooling water, is a chemical treatment by addition of reducing agent, hydrazine, to react with DO. This method has several limitations including high reaction temperature of hydrazine , unwanted explosive hydrogen gas production, and its intrinsic harmful property. A new approach to remove DO using a membrane-based oxygen removal system (MORS) was tried to overcome limitations of the hydrazine treatment. The DO removal efficiency of the MORS was found to be in the range 87% to 98%: The higher vacuum, the lower water flow rate and the higher water temperature tend to increase the DO removal efficiency.

This paper presents an improved water level control scheme for Pressurized Water Reactor(PWR) Steam Generator(S/G) at the low power operation and transient states. To reduce fluctuations of the water level by the swell and shrink phenomena, the scheme adds feedforward terms considering S/G pressure and the feedwater temperature into the conventional proportional-integral feedback controller. The simulation results using the Compact Nuclear Simulator show that smaller level errors and much faster settling time than those of the conventional scheme can be obtained. The proposed algorithm is easily implementable and has a potential for the real applications.

This article is about using information technology to apply with water loss inspection system in District Metering Area (DMA). Inspector can check Flow rate and Minimum Night Flow; NMF via Smart Phone or PDA include sending SMS Alert in case the Pressure, Flow rate and NMF is over the range of controlling. This will be used as equipment to implement water loss in international proactive and can keep on water loss reduction more efficiency. The system consists of Data Logger which collects data of Flow rate from DMA Master Meter. PC is Wap Server which dial via modem in order to get data through FTP Protocal that will convert text file to Microsoft Access Database. Wappage will use xhtml language to show database on Wapbrowser and can show the result on Smart Phone or PDA by graph and table for system analysis.

This study investigated the inactivation of the total coliform, an indicator organism in chlorine and chlorine in order to control microbial regrowth for water distribution systems and select an appropriate disinfection strategy for drinking water systems. The disinfection effects of chlorine and chlorine dioxide with regard to the dosage of disinfectant, contact time and DOC was investigated experimentally. In spite of the consistency of chlorine residuals at approximately 0.2 mg/l, bacteria regrowth was detected in the distribution system and it was confirmed by the scanning electron microscope results. The influence of organic carbon change on the killing effect of chlorine dioxide was strong.

We investigated the relationship between the $TiO_2$ photocatalytic decomposition of bisphenol A in water and biological toxicity to zebrafish (Danio rerio) during $1\sim28$ weeks post development stage. The bisphenol A in water was completely degraded by the $TiO_2$ photocatalysis in 50 hours. After the photocatalysis, no toxic effects on the morphogenesis of the zebrafish were observed during the development, growth, and maturate stages. Catalase activity of control group was not different from $1\sim5$ week post fertilized group. However, toxic effect on the catalase activity of adult stage(28 weeks) decreased 50% than control group.

It is difficult to determine the feeding rate of coagulant in the water treatment process, due to nonlinearity, multivariables and slow response characteristics, etc. To deal with this difficulty, the genetic-fuzzy system was used in determining the feeding rate of the coagulant. The genetic algorithms are excellently robust in complex optimization problems. Since it uses randomized operators and searches for the best chromosome without auxiliary informations from a population consists of codings of parameter set. To apply this algorithms, we made the lookup table and membership function from the actual operation data of the water treatment process. We determined optimum dosages of coagulant(LAS) by the fuzzy operation, and compared it with the feeding rate of the actual operation data.

1970년대의 오일쇼크는 시설재배 경영자로 하여금 성에너지를 효율적으로 이용케하는 연구에 박차를 가했다. 따라서 1970년대 후반에 남부지방에서는 지하수열을 이용하는 방법으로서 소위 Water curtain의 방법을 이용한 시설의 난방 방법이 넓게 확산되어갔다. Water curtain의 난방 방법은 통상 15$^{\circ}C$ 전후 수원의 지하수를 이용해 curtain 위에 살수함으로써 동기에 1$0^{\circ}C$ 정도의 온실의 유지가 가능하여 비교적 저염성 채소(토마토, 딸기 등)의 재배에 이용되고 있다. (중략)

For the purpose of managing non-point sources, water quality control basins (WQCBs) are often designed to capture rainfall events smaller than extreme events. The design rainfall statistics and runoff capture rates for sizing a WQCB should be derived from the local long-term continuous rainfall record. In this study, the 31-year continuous rainfall data recorded in Busan is analyzed to derive the synthesized runoff capture curve incorporated with SCS curve number.

Chinese government has implemented the West Development Strategy since 1999 to boost the region's growth and prevent the environmental degradation. Until now, the regional economy and living standard in Western China have been greatly improved, while it also indicated by the State Council that the ecological environment still deteriorated with part improvement, and pressure of water shortage increased. The paper focus on the relationship of GDP per capita and the volume of industrial waste water discharge of all the 12 provinces in Western China from 1989 to 2004, by the expanded EKC model in the cubic form. Results show that they mainly have down trend in the whole sample space but small up trend in the recent years. That means controlling of industrial wastewater discharge is still an important task to be insisted in the Western China.
