In this work applicability of a sharp-interface model to well-scale problems is examined. In coastal areas one of the main concerns in groundwater development is saltwater intrusion. To determine the saltwater intrusion at a well one needs to evaluate the saltwater content from a pumping well. We conducted laboratory sand-tank experiments to determine if a sharp-interface model can simulate the saltwater content of a pumping well. Lateral saltwater intrusion experiments and freshwater lens experiments are conducted. A partially penetrating well and a fully penetrating well are used. Comparison between numerical results and observation results indicates that the sharp-interface model can determine saltwater contents reasonably well. We conclude that a sharp-interface model can be applied to well-scale groundwater flow problems in coastal areas.

There are groundwater trouble by high-salinity yield inducing sea-water intrusion in Cheju Island. It is used groundwater-GIS(Well-lnfo) in the maintenance and management of groundwater in Cheju Island to grasp groundwater trouble area and cause of high-salinity yield. For 16 wells certain to yield high-salinity, we logged specific electrical conductivity(EC) and tried to get hold of freshwater and saltwater relationship. As result of distribution of $Cl^-$ by depth, it is showed up groundwater trouble by high-salinity yield in the east coastal area and the partly north coastal area. The reason of high-salinity groundwater yield are low-groundwater level by the structure of geology and low-hydraulic gradient etc. There is necessity for management to development and use of groundwater in the high-salinity area, special management area.

An optimization model was developed for groundwater development and management in coastal areas. The optimization model consists of coastal groundwater flow model and optimization techniques. The objective of this work is to validate sharp-interface model which is one of major components of the optimization model. A laboratory experimental model is built to simulate freshwater lens, i.e., layer of freshwater floating on top of saltwater, phenomena. Experimental results for the position of fresh-saltwater sharp-interface and the salinity in well are compared with numerical results. Average ratio of relative error is estimated approximately between 2.91% and 4.39%. And the numerical results are in good agreement with the laboratory results of water quality in well in addition to the position of sharp-interface. Accordingly the evaluation of coastal groundwater flow using sharp-interface model can produce reasonable results.

해수침투는 대수층의 염분 농도를 증가시켜 지하수 염분화에 의한 용수의 부족 등을 야기시키며 다른 지하수 오염과 마찬가지로 회복에 대한 막대한 비용과 시간이 소모되어 피해지역에 대한 정확한 현황파악이 어려워 피해방지대책의 수립이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 흐름과 이송을 모의할 수 있는 GMS-FEMWATER 모델을 이용하여 대상지역의 지층구조를 구분하고 실제 대상지역의 지층과 동일하게 모델링하여 해안지역의 해수침투에 대한 특성을 규명하였다. 분석결과 양수기간이 길어 질수록 지하수두강하 폭이 양수기간 30일, 60일, 90일 및 180일 경과 시 초기 수위에서 점차 4.25m (1.36%), 3.5m (1.13%), 2.96m (0.97%), 1.97m (0.65%)으로 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 양수량이 많은 관정일수록 해수 침투가 큰 것을 알 수 있다. 양수기간 30일 0.59mg/l, 채수 60일 1.65mg/l, 채수 90일 3.14mg/l, 180일 5.55mg/l으로 분석되었다. 이결과로 볼 때 양수기간 초기에서 기간이 지날 수록 해수침투가 큰영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A new method is proposed for water resources using aquifers in coastal areas. These aquifers are generally filled with saline water due to seawater intrusion and consequently being left unutilized. Surface water can be injected into these aquifers and recovered for water quality enhancement and stored water. Injection and pumping wells are used. For this technique to be successful protection of pumping well from seawater intrusion is an essential issue. Salt water pumping can be used to prevent saline water upconing. Numerical analysis demonstrated that a properly designed and executed salt water pumping well can protect a freshwater pumping well from salt water intrusion.

It has been reported that about 47% of groundwater wells within 10 km from the coastline in the western/southern coastal areas of Korea were affected by seawater. It has been interpreted that the cause of groundwater salinization is seawater intrusion. The Gilsan stream in the Seocheon area was a tidal stream until the Geumgang estuary dam was constructed and operated. Therefore, it is likely that the Gilsan stream catchment was deposited with sediments containing high-saline formation water prior to the use of landfill farmland at this catchment area. The groundwater in this study area showed EC values ranging from 111 to 21,000 µS/cm, and the water quality types were diverse including Ca(or Na)-HCO₃, Ca(or Na)-HCO₃(Cl), Na-Cl(HCO₃), Na-Cl types. It is believed that this diversity of water quality is due to the mixing of seawater and fresh groundwater generated by infiltration of precipitation and surface water through soil and weathered part. In this study, we discussed whether this water quality diversity and the presence of saline groundwater are due to present seawater intrusion or to remnant high-saline pore water in sediments during flushing out process. For this, rain water, surface water, seawater, and groundwater were compared regarding the water quality characteristics, tritium content, oxygen/hydrogen stable isotopic composition, and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio. The oxygen/hydrogen stable isotopic compositions indicated that water composition of saline groundwaters with large EC values are composed of a mixture of those of fresh groundwater and surface water. Also, the young groundwater estimated by tritium content has generally higher NO₃ content. All these characteristics showed that fresh groundwater and surface water have continued to affect the high-saline groundwater quality in the study area. In addition, considering the deviation pattern in the diagrams of Na/Cl ratio versus Cl content and SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) versus Cl content, in which two end members of fresh surface-ground water and seawater are assumed, it is interpreted that the groundwater in the study area is not experiencing present seawater intrusion, but flush out and retreating from ancient saline formation water.

Although experimental analysis for groundwater sample at wells located systematically are very effective to delineate seawater intrusion region at coastal area, this method is restricted in few wells and time. We have conducted electrical resistivity sounding at 30 points in the study areas to analyze the region of seawater intrusion and found the boundary between salt wedge and fresh water lens from the analysis results of geostatistical method using variogram for one-dimensional inversion results. The methodology adopted in this study would be useful for finding the seawater intrusion region and evaluating quantitatively.

Citrus is an economically important fruit crop widely growing worldwide. However, citrus production largely depends on natural hybrid selection and bud sport mutation. Unique botanical features including long juvenility, polyembryony, and QTL that controls major agronomic traits can hinder the development of superior variety by conventional breeding. Diverse factors including drastic changes of citrus production environment due to global warming and changes in market trends require systematic molecular breeding program for early selection of elite candidates with target traits, sustainable production of high quality fruits, cultivar diversification, and cost-effective breeding. Since the construction of the first genetic linkage map using isozymes, citrus scientists have constructed linkage maps using various DNA-based markers and developed molecular markers related to biotic and abiotic stresses, polyembryony, fruit coloration, seedlessness, male sterility, acidless, morphology, fruit quality, seed number, yield, early fruit setting traits, and QTL mapping on genetic maps. Genes closely related to CTV resistance and flesh color have been cloned. SSR markers for identifying zygotic and nucellar individuals will contribute to cost-effective breeding. The two high quality citrus reference genomes recently released are being efficiently used for genomics-based molecular breeding such as construction of reference linkage/physical maps and comparative genome mapping. In the near future, the development of DNA molecular markers tightly linked to various agronomic traits and the cloning of useful and/or variant genes will be accelerated through comparative genome analysis using citrus core collection and genome-wide approaches such as genotyping-by-sequencing and genome wide association study.
