비점오염물질은 강우에 의해 유출되며 계절적, 자연적 편차가 크게 나타나고, 오염원이 광범위하게 산재하고 있어 오염물질의 발생량과 부하량의 관리가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 비점오염원 관리지역은 오염물질이 하천에 미치는 수질 특성을 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 그러나 수질항목만으로 하천의 수질 특성을 파악하기에는 어려움이 있으며, 수질 특성을 파악하기 위해 다양한 분석방법이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 비점오염원 관리지역 중 골지천 유역의 수질 특성을 파악하기 위해 통계분석 기법을 활용하여 수질항목간의 상관관계를 분석하고자 하였다. 2017년부터 2019년까지 골지천 유역 내 5개 지점에 대하여 비강우시 23회, 강우시 지점별 173회~196회의 모니터링 결과를 이용하였으며, EC, 탁도, BOD₅, SS, T-N, T-P, TOC의 수질항목을 이용하여 Pearson 상관관계 분석을 실시하였다. 상관관계 분석 결과 비강우시 분석 결과 EC는 -0.06~-0.32, T-N은 0.19~0.37로 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, EC와 T-N을 제외한 탁도와 BOD₅, SS, T-P, TOC의 경우 서로 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 탁도와 SS, T-P, T-P와 TOC는 0.9 이상의 높은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 강우시 분석 결과 EC는 비강우시와 유사하게 -0.07~-0.24로 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, TOC를 제외한 탁도, BOD₅, SS, T-N, T-P의 경우 서로 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. TOC의 경우 BOD₅, SS와 0.6 이상의 상관성을 갖는 반면 탁도, T-N, T-P와는 0.45, 0.44, 0.57로 다른 항목에 비해 다소 낮은 상관성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 비강우시 T-N은 기저 유출에 의한 영향으로 높은 농도를 나타내 다른 항목에 비해 상관성이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 강우시에는 비점오염물질의 유입으로 인하여 모든 항목에서 비슷한 상관성을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 탁도와 SS, T-P의 상관성이 비강우시 0.93, 강우시 0.78로 상당히 높은 것으로 나타나, 탁도를 측정하여 SS와 T-P로 환산하여 측정하는 방법에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 연구 유역의 지형적 특성이 배제되었기 때문에 추후에 이를 반영한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라는 지역적 특성상 여름철에 강수량이 편중되어 있어 계절별로 하천유량의 편차가 매우 크게 나타나고 있다. 또한 계속되는 도시화와 산업화로 인하여 하천에서 다양한 형태의 취수와 이용이 이루어지고, 국민들의 수질향상 등에 대한 기대가 커짐에 따라 하천유량에 대한 양적 질적 요구가 증대되고 있다. 이에 효율적인 수자원운영을 위하여 다양한 형태의 수자원확보가 이루어지고 있으며, 이중 가장 대표적인 댐을 이용하여 운영에 따른 하류 하천에서의 유황개선효과에 대해서 유역 장기분포모의 모형 중 하나인 SWAT모형을 밀양강유역에 적용하여 일 유출량 모의를 수행하였다. 모형의 구축은 $2000{\sim}2005$년의 밀양강유역 기상자료를 활용하였으며, 건교부에서 운영하는 Wamis를 이용하여 DEM, 토지이용도, 토양도를 취득하였다. 또한 밀양댐, 운문댐 유입량과 밀양2지점의 측정유량을 이용하여, SWAT의 다양한 매개변수 중 SOL_AWC, ESCO, CH_K등을 수정하여 Calibration을 실시하였으며, 밀양강유역 오염총량지점인 밀양A지점과 밀양B지점의 측정유량을 이용하여 Validation을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 댐의 경우 0.9이상의 선형상관관계를 나타내었으며, 오염총량지점의 경우 0.6이상의 선형상관관계를 나타내어 모형의 적용성이 양호함을 알 수 있었다. 과거 39년간의 강수량자료를 이용, 구축된 모형의 유역모의운영을 통해 밀양강 유역의 밀양댐과 운문댐이 있음으로 해서, 댐이 없는 경우와 비교, 하류 지점별 유황개선에 어느 정도 효과가 있는지 댐의 순기능에 대한 정량적인 분석을 수행하였다. 또한 댐별 방류량을 변동하여 하류 주요지점에 미치는 유황개선효과를 정량화하였다. 마지막으로 댐의 효율을 최대화한 하류확보가능하천유지유량을 월별평균량으로 산정하였다. 이는 향후 오염총량제 기준유량 및 환경용수의 법제화를 통한 하천유지용수의 증가시 비구조적 대책의 공급가능 최대량으로 활용가능할 것으로 사료된다.

Water monitoring equipments using daphnia can be used to monitor the pollution levels of a country's main rivers. Such equipments should be capable of providing a prompt warning about increase in the contamination levels, which is evaluated on the basis of impulse number or toxicity index. As unmanned remote control equipments, they must provide reliable pollution monitoring results for each season and for the annual physical changes in each river. Two different equipments based on the impulse number and toxicity index showed different results for the operating rates and for the number of emergency checks required even though both were operated at the same conditions. The results are affected by many parameters such as the presence of any air bubbles and the microscopic pressure. The purpose of this study is to develop a method that can reduce the effect of bubbles or microscopic pressure on the monitoring data. We expect to achieve reliable monitoring data for water pollutants irrespective of the location of the equipment setup.

In this study, we estimated the seasonal fluctuations of water quality and effect of small tide embankment in coastal water around the Muan Peninsula, which is located in the northern part of Mokpo city, and layer farming ground is spread around there. Some physical and chemical factors were analyzed to characterize water quality from Jan. to Oct. in 1994. The results were as follows: Dissolved oxygen was slightly under saturation in the almost areas of July, and in some bottom layer at ebb tide of October. Distribution of COD showed high values that over 2㎎/L in October and flood tide of April by the discharge of freshwater and resuspension of benthic sediment, which exceeded water quality criteria II. Maximum values of dissolved inorganic nitrogen ware appeared in surface layer during the flood tide of October, while minimum of that showed in surface layer in April. Concentration of dissolved inorganic phosphorus was higher at July than the others, which ranged from 0.24 to 2.08㎍-at/L. Mostly mean values of N/P ratio were lower than 16, it mean that nitrogen is more limiting nutrient than phosphorus for the growth of phytoplankton. The values of eutrophication index were in the range of 0.07~0.81. However, very high values due to increase of COD were estimated near the tide embankment and southern part in relation to tidal current in October. Water quality around tide embankment was suddenly changed worse within a short period after opening the water gate during the rainfall.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become an increasing concern in terms of human health risks as well as aesthetic impairment due to their toxicity. The reduction of water pollutants, especially nutrients from non-point sources in a reservoir watershed, is fundamental for HABs prevention. We investigated the pollutant removal efficiencies of a constructed wetland to evaluate its feasibility as a method for controlling non-point sources located in the Annaecheon stream within the Daecheong Reservoir watershed. The overall removal efficiencies of pollutants were as follows: BOD 14.3%, COD 17.9%, SS 50.0%, T-N 19.0%, and T-P 35.4%. These results indicate that constructed wetlands are effective in controlling pollutants from non-point sources. The seasonal variation in removal efficiency depended on the specific pollutants. The removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, and T-N were stable throughout the year, except during winter, which might have been influenced by lower microorganism activity. In contrast, T-P showed a consistent removal efficiency even during the winter season, suggesting that the wetland can reduce external phosphorus loading to the reservoir. Regarding the effects of pollutant loadings on removal efficiency, the effluent concentrations of all pollutants were significantly decreased compared to those in the influent in case of middle and high loadings. This demonstrates that constructed wetlands can handle high pollutant loads, including the initial runoff during rainfall, to prevent reservoir eutrophication. Despite the various strengths of wetland water purification, there are limitations as passive treatment. Therefore, more case studies should be conducted to suggest optimum operational conditions for constructed wetlands, taking into consideration reservoir-specific characteristics.

The water demand has been rapidly increased by the growth of population, industrialization, unbanization, water pollution and so on. This study carried out the seasonal pre-reserved planning for the five zones, comparing the water demand with the available water resources up to the goal year, 2001. The results of this study are as follows; 1) It is principle that the monthly water demand is supplied by the surface and ground water as the increasing tendency of it, and the deficit of water is supplemented by the water supplying capacity of dam. And water demand should be completely reserved before supplying the deficit of water. 2) The monthly and seasonal maximum deficit of water demand take place in June and summer. 3) The periods when the deficit of water demand exceeds the water supplying capacity of dam are 1984-1990, 1994-2001 in zone III. 4) To reserve the deficit of water demand in zone III, we would like to pre-construct Masan-Keumbo estuary barrage from 2001 to 1991 in Seomjin river basin, the deficit of water demand is supplied by the diversion of water from Yeongsan river basin with the developments of the ground water and small reservoirs until 1986.

In this study, we analyzed the vulnerable areas of non-point source pollutants and management pollutants and management time by subwatershed curves in the Seohwacheon basin located upstream of Daecheongho. First, in order to create a load duration curve, a long-term flow model SWAT was constructed to create a flow duration curve, and the result was multiplied by the target water quality to create a load duration curve. For the target water quality, monitoring data values measured from November 2017 were used for the management of nonpoint source pollutants in Seohwacheon, and a value corresponding to 60 percentile of the measured data was set as the target water quality. At this time, the target water quality was limited to"slightly good"(II) when the calculated value exceeded"slightly good"(II) of the river living environment standard. The vulnerable areas of non-point source of pollution were selected using the excess rate exceeding the target water quality, and the excess pollutant was judged as a management substance and the management time was selected through seasonal evaluation.

From September 1, 2003 to November 30, 2004, 20 mineral water wells were selected for some area in east Europe and the study on their water quality was analized. It revealed that mineral water contained considerable quantity of magnesium ions which helps the smooth activities of vascular muscles, nervous systems and protects skins from allergic reactions. It also lowers cholesterol level and contains high concentration of calcium ions which is one of the vital components of teeth and bone like phosphorus. Thus it is concluded that it is not qualified as boiler feed water as it has overall high degree of hardness by the presence of four times content of $Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$.

Multi-functional floating wetland island (mFWI) was developed in order to prevent algal bloom and to improve water quality through several unit purification processes. A test bed was applied in the stagnant watershed in an urban area, from the summer to the winter season. For the advanced treatment, an artificial phosphorus adsorption/filtration medium was applied with micro-bubble generation, as well as water plants for nutrient removal. It appeared that the efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total phosphorus (T-P) removal was higher in the warmer season (40.9%, 45.7%) than in the winter (15.9%, 20.0%), and the removal performance (suspended solid, chlorophyll a) in each process differs according to seasonal variation; micro-bubble performed better (33.1%, 39.2%) in the summer, and the P adsorption/filtration and water plants performed better (76.5%, 59.5%) in the winter season. From the results, it was understood that the mFWI performance was dependent upon the pollutant loads in different seasons and unit processes, and thus it requires continuous monitoring under various conditions to evaluate the functions. In addition, micro-bubbles helped prevent the formation of anaerobic zones in the lower part of the floating wetland. This resulted in the water circulation to form a new healthy aquatic ecosystem in the surrounding environment, which confirmed the positive influence of mFWI.

In this study, we assess changes in water quality trends over time based on certain control measurements in order to identify and analyze the cause of the trend in water quality. The current water pollution in the Nakdong River was analyzed, as it suggests that the significant changes in water quality have occurred in between 2006 and 2010. Based on monthly average data, we have examined for trends of the Nakdong River watershed in water temperature, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Nitrogen (TN), and Total Phosphorus (TP). Moreover, we have investigated seasonal variation of water quality of sites within the Nakdong River Basin by implementing further analyses such as, Correlation Coefficient, Regression Analysis, Hierarchical Clustering Method, and Time Series Analysis on SPSS. Geology and topography of the watershed, controlled by various conditions such as, climate, vegetation, topography, soil, and rain medium, have been affected by the non-homogeneity. Our study suggests that such variables could possibly cause eutrophication problems in the river. One possible way to overcome this particular problem is to lay up a ship on the river by increasing the nasal flow measurement of the Nakdong River during rainy season. Moreover, the water management requires arranging the measurement of the flow in order to secure the river while the numerous construction projects need to be continuously observed. However, the water is not flowing tributary of the reason for the timing to be flowing in a natural state of river water and industrial water intake because agriculture. Therefore, ongoing research is needed in addition to configuration of all observations.
