지하레이다(Ground Penetrating Radar, GPR)를 이용하여 지표하의 상수관로를 지표에서 송신안테나와 수신안테나를 이용해서 손쉽게 측정하게 된다. 송신안테나는 지표하에 전자기파를 송신하고 지하 매질을 투과한 파가 수신안테나에 도달하는 시간을 측정하여 지표하 매질의 특성을 파악할 수 있다. 수신파의 도달시간은 지표하 매질의 특성에 따라서 변화하며, 이를 통해 지표하 매질과 매질 깊이 등을 파악할 수 있다. 일반적으로 상수관로를 매설할 경우 관로 주변의 토양은 균등하게 되므로 기 매설된 상수관로 주변에 누수가 발생하게 되면, 관로 주변의 토양은 포화상태이거나 수압으로 인해서 공동이 형성될 경우가 많다. 이때 반사에너지의 유전율 증가 혹은 감소 특성으로 인해서 주변 매질과는 매우 상이한 결과를 보이게 된다. GPR탐사는 단순히 반사된 신호진폭의 크기를 나타내며 이러한 반사에너지의 크기에 관계되는 것은 매설물의 유전율이 주위 지반이 갖는 유전율과의 차이에서 기인하기 때문이다. 탐사 대상 상수관로에 대한 정보를 확보하여 GPR 탐사를 수행한 결과 관로 탐사를 위한 GPR의 결과는 매우 유용하게 사용될 것으로 판단되며, 이를 바탕으로 누수 발생 이력이 있는 다양한 관로주변 조건을 대상으로 탐사를 실시할 경우 상수관망시스템의 효율적인 관리 및 보수에 매우 유용한 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Optimal operation of a combined sewer network with distributed storage facilities aims to use the whole retention capacity of all reservoirs efficiently before overflows take place somewhere in the considered network system. An efficient real-time network control (RTNC) strategy has been emerging as an attractive approach for reducing substantially the overflows from a sewer network compared to the conventional fixed or manually adjusted gate setting method, but the related concrete framework for RTC development has not been throughly introduced so far. The main goal of this study is to give a detailed description of the RTNC systems via reviewing several guidelines published abroad, and finally to suggest methods for the proper application of RTNC on distributed storage facilities. Especially, this study is focused on emphasizing the importance of hierarchical structure of RTNC system that consists of three control layers (management, global control and local control). Further, with regard to the global control layer which is responsible for the central overall network control, the wide-ranging details of two components (adaption and optimization layers) are also presented. This study can provide the valuable basis for the RTNC implementation in the particular sewer network with distributed multiple storage facilities.

상수관망은 충분한 양질의 수돗물을 공급하기 위한 사회기반 시설물이다. 상수관로의 노후화, 누수 등은 수도 사고 발생의 가능성을 증가시키고, 수돗물 안전성에 대한 신뢰도를 감소시킨다. 수돗물 공급 전 과정을 인공지능(AI), 정보통신기술(ICT)과 결합한 지능형 상수도관 예측 및 관리 시스템을 구축하여, 상수도 수질 사고를 조기에 감지하고 사전에 취약지점을 예측할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 상수관로의 위험도를 평가하기 위한 체계적인 데이터와 기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 상수관로의 위험도 예측모델을 개발하기 위해 상수관로 위험도와 관련된 평가 인자를 선정하고 분류하였으며, 각 인자의 명확한 기준을 제시하였다. 국내·외 상수도 위험도 평가 항목에 대한 자료를 비교 및 분석하였고, 전문가 자문을 통해 인자를 정립하여 상수관로 위험도 평가 지표를 개발하였다. 개발된 평가 지표의 현장 적용성과 실효성 검증을 위해 정량적인 데이터 확보가 가능하고 상태를 평가할 수 있는 대상 지역을 선정하였다. 문헌 자료의 평가항목들과 전문가 의견을 바탕으로 상수관로 위험도 평가 인자를 31개의 직접 인자와 5개의 간접 인자로 구분하였고, 인자별 평가 기준을 제시하였다. 직접 인자는 노후화 정도를 파악할 수 있는 노후도 평가 항목, 지역 특성을 반영한 토양 부식성 항목, 실시간으로 측정하여 결과를 제공하는 실시간 계측 항목, 직접적인 수질 결과를 제공하는 정수장 수질 항목, 상수관로의 건전성을 평가하는 자산관리 항목으로 분류하였다. 추후, 위험도 평가 운용을 위한 알고리즘을 개발하면 상수도 사고 위험에 대한 예방 및 대응 전략을 수립할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, data linking module called GeoSWMM was developed using a typical secondary flooding model SWMM in order to improve the accuracy of the input data of SWMM and to map hourly inundation estimation areas that were not represented in the conventional inundation map. GeoSWMM is a data linking module of GIS and SWMM, which can generate a SWMM project file directly from sewer network GIS data. Utilizing the GeoSWMM the project file of SWMM model was constructed in the study area, Seocho 2-dong, Seoul. The actual flooding has occurred September 21, 2010 and the actual rainfall data were used for flood simulation. As a result, the outflow started from 2 PM due to the lack of water flow capacity of the sewage system. Based on the results, hourly inundation estimation maps were produced and compared with flood train map in 2010. The comparison showed about 66% matching in the overlap of inundation areas. By utilizing GeoSWMM that was developed in this study, it is easy to build the sewer network data for SWMM. In addition, the creation of hourly inundation estimation map using SWMM will be much help to flood disaster prevention plan.

In a genetic algorithm, computer simulations are performed based on the natural evolution process of life, such as selection, crossover, and mutation. The genetic algorithm searches the approximate optimal solution by the parallel arrangement of Schema, which has a short definition length, low order, and high adaptability. This study examined the possibility of improving the efficiency of the optimal solution by considering the characteristics of the building block hypothesis, which are one of the key operating principles of a genetic algorithm. This study evaluated the efficiency of the optimization results according to the gene sequence for the implementation in solving problems. The optimal design problem of the water pipe was selected, and the genetic arrangement order reflected the engineering specificity by dividing into the existing, the network topology-based, and the flowrate-based arrangement. The optimization results with a flowrate-based arrangement were, on average, approximately 2-3% better than the other batches. This means that to increase the efficiency of the actual engineering optimization problem, a methodology that utilizes clear prior knowledge (such as hydraulic properties) to prevent such excellent solution characteristics from disappearing is essential. The proposed method will be considered as a tool to improve the efficiency of large-scale water supply network optimization in the future.

According to increase of consumer's desire for clean tap water, advanced treatment processes include with membrane, ozone, and granular activated carbon(GAC) were introduced. In order to evaluate the effect of advanced treatment processes for residual chlorine decay and trihalomethane(THM) formation in water distribution system, dissolved organic matter(DOC) removal of each advanced treatment process was investigated. The residual chlorine decay and THM formation using bottle tests were also evaluated. $UV_{254}$ removal in all advanced treatment was better than DOC removal. Especially, DOC by ozone treated was removed as 4% in contrast with sand filtered water, but $UV_{254}$ was removed about 17%. This result might be due to convert from hydrophobic DOC to hydrophilic DOC by ozonation. Ozone/GAC process was most effective process for DOC removal. The residual chlorine decay constants in treated water by sand filtration, ozonation, GAC adsorption, and ozone/GAC processes were 0.0230, 0.0307, 0.0117 and 0.0098 $hr^{-1}$, respectively. The sand filtered water was produced 81.8 ${\mu}g/L$ of THM after 190 hours of reaction time, as the treated water by ozone, GAC, and Ozone/GAC was less produced 6.0, 26.2, 30.3% in contrast with sand filtered water, respectively. Consequently, the durability of residual chlorine and reduction of THM formation were improved by advanced treatment processes.

Due to climate change, population growth, and economic development, the demand for water in the urban water system (UWS) and the energy required for water use constantly increase. Therefore, beyond the traditional method of considering only the water sector, the Nexus approach, which considers synergies and trade-offs between the water and energy sectors, has begun to draw attention. In previous researches, the Nexus methodology was used to demonstrate that the UWS is an energy-intensive system, analyze the water-energy efficiency relationship surrogated by energy intensity, and identify climate (long-term climate change, drought, type), geographic characteristics (topography, flat ratio, location), system characteristics (total supply water amount, population density, pipeline length), and operational management level (water network pressure, leakage rate, water saving) effects on the UWS. Through this, it was possible to suggest the direction of policies and institutions to UWS managers. However, there was a limit to establishing and implementing specific action plans. This study built the energy intensity matrix of the UWS, quantified the impact of city conditions, external influences, and operational management levels on the UWS using the water-energy Nexus model, and introduced water-energy efficiency criteria. With this, UWS managers will be able to derive strategies and action plans for efficient operation management of the UWS and evaluate suitability and validity after implementation.

The water supply system has a wider installation range and various components of it than other infrastructure, making it difficult to secure stability against earthquakes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop methods for evaluating the seismic performance of water supply systems. Ground Motion Prediction Equation (GMPE) is used to evaluate the seismic performance (e.g, failure probability) for water supply facilities such as pump, water tank, and pipes. GMPE is calculated considering the independent variables such as the magnitude of the earthquake and the ground motion such as PGV (Peak Ground Velocity) and PGA (Peak Ground Acceleration). Since the large magnitude earthquake data has not accumulated much to date in Korea, this study tried to select a suitable GMPE for the domestic earthquake simulation by using the earthquake data measured in Korea. To this end, GMPE formula is calculated based on the existing domestic earthquake and presented the results. In the future, it is expected that the evaluation will be more appropriate if the determined GMPE is used when evaluating the seismic performance of domestic waterworks. Appropriate GMPE can be directly used to evaluate hydraulic seismic performance of water supply networks. In other words, it is possible to quantify the damage rate of a pipeline during an earthquake through linkage with the pipe failure probability model, and it is possible to derive more reasonable results when estimating the water outage or low-pressure area due to pipe damages. Finally, the quantifying result of the seismic performance can be used as a design criteria for preparing an optimal restoration plan and proactive seismic design of pipe networks to minimize the damage in the event of an earthquake.
