본 연구에서는 수리모형실험을 통해 해안지역 대수층에서 해수침투가 일어나지 않는 지하수의 최적 양수량을 산정하였다. 해안 대수층 및 양수정을 구현하기 위해 가로 140 cm, 세로 70 cm, 두께 10 cm 의 직사각형 Sandtank 모형과 5 mm 원형관을 이용하여 수행하였다. 해수의 염도, 해안가의 지표경사 등을 기준으로 설정하였으며, 다공질 매체의 입자크기에 따른 수리전도도 2가지를 경계조건으로 하여 각각의 양수정 위치에 따라 최대 담수량을 모의하였으며, 이 때, 하나의 과잉 담수량에 따른 최적 염수량을 산정하여 염수침투 제어 효과를 검증하였다. 다공질매체의 수리전도도가 높을수록 최대 담수량이 증가되며 이에 따라 염수 침투 제어를 위한 최적염수량이 증가하였다. 또한 양수정의 위치가 염수조에 가까울수록 최대담수량 및 최적염수량이 감소되었다. 이러한 모의를 통하여 설정된 각각의 양수정 위치에서 최적의 염수량으로 염수침투를 제어함으로써 지속시간 이용가능한 최대담수량을 나타내었다.

Saltwater pumping method can be used to mitigate saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifers. However, the saltwater pumping well may discharge large freshwater along with saltwater, thereby wasting precious resources. A double negative barrier was proposed: an inland well to capture freshwater and a saltwater well near the coastline to pump saltwater. A previous study anaylzed effects of double negative barriers in dispersion-dominated coastal aquifers and determined the critical pumping rate at the saltwater well which minimized the saltwater ratio at the freshwater well. However, the study resulted in 1~15% of saltwater ratios, which were too high, for example, for drinking water standards. This study analyzed cases that were considered in the previous study, but for advection-dominated cases, and found that freshwater with sufficiently low saltwater ratios could be developed at the freshwater well. In addition, for optimal groundwater management of a watershed not only the minimum saltwater ratio at the freshwater well but also the least freshwater wasted at the saltwater well must be pursued.

최근 수자원 이용량의 증가 및 수자원 공급의 부족에 따라 대안으로 제시되고 있는 지하수 이용은 매년 크게 증가하고 있다. 내륙 지역의 지하수 개발 시와 비교할 때 해안 지역의 지하수 개발에는 해수침투 현상에 대하여 추가적 고려가 필요하다. 알려진 바와 같이 해안 지역의 과잉 양수와 해수면 상승 으로 해수침투가 더욱 깊이 침투하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대해 정략적인 해수 침투길이 산정과 더불어 해수침투를 허용가능한 범위 내로 제한 시키는 지하수 개발이 필요하다. 해수침투 저감 공법에는 저투수차수벽 설치, 담수주입공법, 해수양수공법으로 크게 3가지로 구분할 수 있다. 저투수차수벽의 해수침투 저감 효율은 크지만 비용이 비싸다는 단점으로 본 연구에서 제외시켰다. 담수주입공법은 대수층에 담수를 주입하여 해수침투를 저감시키는 공법으로 인근에 양질의 수원을 필요로 하는 단점이 있다. 해수양수는 해안가에 양수정을 설치하여 해수침투를 저감시키지만 양수정에서의 담수가 혼합되어 담수낭비가 생기는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 해안지하수의 해수침투를 저감시키기 위한 방법중 담수주입과 해수양수공법의 효율을 검증하고 각각 공법의 장단점을 비교하였다. 지하수 경계면 모델을 이용하여 각각의 수리수문 변수들이 미치는 영향과 해수침투 정도를 사례별로 연구하였다. 담수주입공법의 경우 담수주입량 많을수록 해수침투가 저감되는 경향이 있지만 최적의 담수주입량을 찾는데 목적이 있다. 해수양수공법에는 해수양수량이 증가하고 해수양수정의 위치가 해안선에 접할수록 해수침투 저감 효과가 있었다. 담수주입공법과 해수양수공법을 해수침투 저감을 위해 해안가에 적용할 경우 해당 지역의 특성을 면밀히 분석하여 적용해야 효과를 볼 수 있다.

In this study, the behavior of fresh water body between the injection and production wells with the fresh water injection rate in a saline aquifer is numerically analyzed by using a three-dimensional numerical model. 8 injection wells are arranged at equidistant intervals on a concentric circle and one production well is located at the center of this circle. In the case that the fresh water injection rate is relatively small, the fresh water body around a injection well screen is not mixed with neighboring ones and is independently distributed. However, when the injection rate is increased, the size of the fresh water body is continuously increased, and the areas, where saline and fresh water among injection wells are mixed, are appeared. The mixed degree is increased as the injection rate is increased. This phenomenon is identically generated around the production well. Moreover, when the injection rate is increased, the ratio of saline water in and around the production well is decreased.

지하수 인공함양은 수자원확보 및 비상시 용수를 목적으로 세계적으로 연구 및 프로젝트가 진행되고 있다. 인공함양의 방법에는 여러 가지의 방식이 있지만 본 연구는 관정을 통해 주입하는 ASTR(Aquifer Storage Transfer and Recovery)방법을 이용하여 연구하였다. ASTR이란 지표수를 인공적인 방법으로 대수층에 주입시키고, 일정기간 저장시키거나 유하시킨 후 양수하는 방법이다. 염수로 포화된 피압대수층에 담수를 주입하여 염수를 치환할 수 있는 주입-양수 시스템을 연구하였다. 염수로 포화된 대수층에서 인공함양기술을 성공시키기 위해서는 양수정으로 유입되는 염수비율이 0%을 만족하며, 주입으로 인한 수위상승량은 지반변형을 일으키지 않는 최소한의 값을 가지는 것이다. 본 연구는 앞서 언급한 인공함양기술을 성공시키기 위해 지하수 흐름모델과 최적화 모델을 결합한 최적전산모델을 이용하여 모의하였다. 지하수 흐름모델은 경계면모델을, 최적화 기법은 GA(Genetic Algorithm)을 이용하였다. 구축된 목적함수로는 양수정의 담수비율 최대화, 주입정에서의 수위상승량 최소화 그리고 양수개시시간 최소화로 구성하였다. 제약조건으로는 총 주입량 및 양수량 그리고 주입 및 양수정 개수이다. 서술한 목적함수와 제약조건을 만족하는 주입/양수정의 위치 및 유량을 최적전산모델로부터 얻을 수 있다. 기존 지하수 인공함양 및 개발은 사례별 연구 또는 전문가의 주관적 판단에 의존하는 경향이 있었다. 본 연구는 최적화 기법을 통해 복수의 관정에서 정량적인 산정이 가능하다. 현재 모델링에 의존한 연구로써 한계가 있지만, 추후 실제현장에 적용하여 모델 검정을 통해 신뢰도를 높이며 지하수 인공함양 개발에 많은 공헌을 할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

The study with laboratory sandbox model has been carried out to address potential use of reclaimed water, as a way for artificially recharging the coastal aquifer, to effectively prevent from seawater intrusion. To do this, we assessed hydraulic and geochemical properties depending upon various extraction and recharging conditions. While solely being recharged, the intrusion could be significantly retarded than those of recharge and extraction implied together. At 0.5 to 2 for the ratio of the extraction over the recharge rate, the fresh water was exploited from the tank, where the void regime was simultaneously saturated with the recharged water. In the meantime, the saline water zone was diluted and back-tracked by the recharged water due to forming a hydraulic geochemical barrier around the injection well. However, if the ratio was being increased to greater than 4, saltwater more deeply intruded to the freshwater zone because the artificial recharge was not sufficiently supplied to timely back-fill the void space. When the aquifer water was intermittently extracted at the ratio of $0.5{\sim}2$ over the recharge rate, the value of S.M.I. decreased, but increasing it to more than 4 unlikely escalated the value of S.M.I as much as $3{\sim}47%$ indicating that the salt water intruded. It finally revealed that the proper ratio of extraction/recharge or intermittent extraction would efficiently retracted seawater intrusion while the freshwater sources could be conservatively utilized.

The study with laboratory sandbox model has been carried out to address potential use of reclaimed water, as a countermeasure artificially recharging the coastal aquifer, to effectively prevent from seawater intrusion due to overexploitation. It also investigated plausibility for either preserving or recovering the freshwater interface facing with seawater intrusion. To do this, we assessed hydraulic properties in artificial aquifer seawater/freshwater interface) depending upon the variation of extraction, storage and injection of reclaimed water. The variation of interface between freshwater and seawater were visualized by Surfer 8(Golden Software, USA) according to given experimental conditions. The interface between seawater and freshwater has been sensitively influenced by the change of extraction rate, where seawater zone migrated much faster into freshwater zone even though extraction rate became decreased. However, decreasing recharge rate could slow down moving of saline water zone toward freshwater zone. When the recharge was solely introduced into the sand box model, saline water intrusion was retarded than those of recharge and extraction working together. And also, the level of salinity of saline water was diluted by artificial recharge. It finally revealed that the artificial recharge would hydraulically avoid seawater intrusion while the freshwater sources could be conservatively utilized.

This study investigates the relationships between the maximum freshwater pumping discharge and hydraulic properties of coastal aquifer using a laboratory model. The experiment performed the fresh pumping test in various locations near the saltwedge induced by saltwater intrusion to freshwater over aquifer characteristics of hydraulic conductivity, salinity, and ground surface slope. Saltwater pumping also tested to protest saltwater intrusion to the excessively discharging freshwater well. The maximum freshwater discharges were achieved, and then the optimum saltwater discharges were measured. It is found that greater hydraulic conductivity and ground surface slope produced greater the maximum freshwater pumping discharge. Salinity gave less impact on the pumping discharge relatively. Higher freshwater discharge was found at higher hydraulic conductivity and steeper ground surface slope. The optimum saltwater discharge required 14% more pumping rate than the maximum freshwater discharge to keep saltwater intrusion to the freshwater pumping well. Pumping well located closer to salt-wedge profile promoted less freshwater pumping discharge. Therefore, pumping well location, hydraulic conductivity, ground surface slope, and salinity should be taken into account in freshwater pumping in coastal aquifer.

In this study, a phenomenon of saltwater intrusion was monitored under various conditions regarding recharge and pumping rate using time domain reflectometry for a laboratory scale unconfined aquifer to verify the basic theory behind seawater intrusion and to investigate movement of salt-freshwater interface in accordance with the ratio of pumping and recharge rate. Results showed that a thick mixing zone was formed at the boundary instead of a sharp salt-freshwater interface that was assumed by Ghyben and Herzberg who derived an equation relating the water table depth $(H_f)$ to the depth to the interface $(H_s)$. Therefore our experimental results did not agree with the calculated values obtained from the Ghyben and Herzberg equation. Position of interface which was adopted as 0.5 g/L isochlor moved rapidly as the Pumping rate $(Q_p)$ increased for a given recharge rate $(Q_r)$. In addition, interface movement was found to be about 7 times the ratio of $Q_p/Q_r$ in our experimental condition. This indicates that Pumping rate becomes an important factor controlling the seawater intrusion in coastal aquifer.

A simulation-optimization model is developed for development of groundwater and control of a saltwater wedge for protecting over-exploiting freshwater pumping wells. To achieve the goal an objective function is developed for three types of wells: freshwater pumping, freshwater injection and saltwater pumping. Integrity of groundwater environment is accounted for by including three indices. Illustrative cross-sectional examples show that both types of barriers can protect freshwater pumping wells from saltwater intrusion. A barrier well operating at the same rate located anywhere within a certain reach can protect a pumping well. However, the location of the reach appears to contradict the common practice of barrier placements. Consideration of the groundwater environment yields a unique optimal location for barrier wells.
