This study proposed a new procedure of sustainable water resources planning to prevent the urban streamflow depletion, based on the Heathcote's study in 1998: (1) to understand the watershed component and processes, (2) to identify and quantify problems within the watershed, (3) to set clear and specific goals, (4) to develop a list of management options, (5) to eliminate infeasible options, (6) to test the effectiveness of remaining feasible options, and (7) to develop the final options. PSR(Presure-State-Response) concept was used for the determination of indicators of PSD(Potential Streamflow Depletion; step 2) and effect equation (step 7) and composite programming for the calculation of PSD. The instreamflow requirement was proposed as clear and specific goal (step 3) and was determined by the larger of the PHABSIM's environmental flow and the drought flow. A continuous rainfall-runoff model is necessary to test the effectiveness of alternatives. It should estimate not only the exact runoff but also the effect of landuse change, reservoir, infiltration facility and so on like SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool). The proposed procedure will be applied on the corresponding paper.

Urbanization means the sudden increment of a population and the industrialization. The hydrologic water cycle causes many changes due to urbanization. Therefore, the affects that urbanization influences on the precipitation events were analyzed. But the precipitation events are very much influenced many meteorological and climatologically indices besides the effect of an urbanization. So, an analysis was performed by using precipitation data observed in many spots of the Korean peninsula. The analysis data are annual precipitation, the duration 1 daily maximum amount of precipitation, the rainy days, and 10 mm over the rainy days, and 80 mm. seasonal precipitation and seasonal rainy days. The analytical method classified 4 clusters in which the precipitation characteristic is similar through the cluster analysis. It compared and analyzed precipitation events of the urban and rural stations. Moreover, the representative rainfall stations were selected and the urban stations and rural stations were compared. In the analyzed result, the increment of the rainy days was conspicuous over 80mm in which it can cause the heavy rainfall. By using time precipitation data, the design precipitation was calculated. Rainfall events over probability precipitation on duration and return period were analyzed. The times in which it exceeds the probability precipitation in which the urban area is used for the hydrologic structure design in comparison with the rural area more was very much exposed to increase.

Hydrogeochemical and isotope ($\delta$$^{18}$ O, $\delta$D, $^3$H, $\delta$$^{13}$ C, $\delta$$^{34}$ S, $^{87}$ Sr/$^{86}$ Sr) studies of various kinds of waters (thermal groundwater, deep groundwater, shallow groundwater, and surface water) from the Yusung area were carried out in order to elucidate their geochemical characteristics such as distribution and behaviour of major/minor elements, geochemical evolution, reservoir temperature, and water-rock interaction of the thermal groundwater. Thermal groundwater of the Yusung area is formed by heating at depth during deep circlulation of groundwater and is evolved into Na-HCO$_3$type water by hydrolysis of silicate minerals with calcite precipitation and mixing of shallow groundwater. High NO$_3$contents of many thermal and deep groundwater samples indicate that the thermal or deep groundwaters were mixed with contaminated shallow groundwater and/or surface water. $\delta$$^{18}$ O and $\delta$D are plotted around the global meteoric water line and there are no differences between the various types of water. Tritium contents of shallow groundwater, deep groundwater and thermal groundwater are quite different, but show that the thermal groundwater was mixed with surface water and/or shallow groundwater during uprising to surface after being heated at depths. $\delta$$^{13}$ C values of all water samples are very low (average -16.3$\textperthousand$%o). Such low $\delta$$^{13}$ C values indicate that the source of carbon is organic material and all waters from the Yusung area were affected by $CO_2$ gas originated from near surface environment. $\delta$$^{34}$ S values show mixing properties of thermal groundwater and shallow groundwater. Based on $^{87}$ Sr/$^{86}$ Sr values, Ca is thought to be originated from the dissolution of plagioclase. Reservoir temperature at depth is estimated to be 100~1$25^{\circ}C$ by calculation of equilibrium method of multiphase system. Therefore, the thermal groundwaters from the Yusung area were formed by heating at depths and evolved by water-rock interaction and mixing with shallow groundwater.

LID(Low-Impact Development) has received a great deal of attention in the field of urban water management. The spread of LID technologies as a natural drainage system has led to a rise in consideration of the applicability of policy in Korea. In this respect, the purpose of this study is to analyze experts' perception about utilization, applicability of policy, and improvements of LID by using Q-methodology. The sample included 31 experts who were government employees, landscape architects, researchers, and professors related to LID. All participants completed a 28-statement Q-sort task. Data was analyzed by using QUANL computer software. As a result of this study, four distinct experts' perceptions about LID are identified: Policy Enforcement Oriented Type, Expert Understanding Oriented Type, Manual Oriented Type, and Effectiveness Oriented Type. This study suggested appropriate directions related to LID technologies, and it is helpful to apply the domestic type's LID and increase the efficiency of LID in Korea. However, this study has a limit in which the viewpoint of the researcher intervenes: a complementary searcher is needed to verify the validity by type in policy decision-making.

As amount of waste matter rapidly increases with fast growth of cities and industry, how to dispose them has arisen as an important problem. Current policy of the government on disposal of waste is repressing generation of waste itself and in case of already generated waste, resource cycle waste management system that recycles waste after proper environmental process is getting established. Therefore recycling of waste and industrial by-products is rising hugely. One of largely wasted matters is waste gypsum, which was categorized as designated waste but changed to general since 1994. Due to disposal cost and lack of impurities removal technology, recycling of it was quite low. However, as impurities removal technology using semi-dried desulfurization process is developed lately, study on recycling of waste gypsum is going on lively. This study examines possibility of utilizing waste gypsum as alternative for concrete cement and analyzed attributes of waste gypsum before and after ball mill process to find out proper alternation ratio, and conducted strength and property tests on concrete subject whose percentage of cement use is substituted with 0, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 and 12.5% of waste gypsum.

Rapid urbanization has elevated the risk of urban flooding due to the increase in the impervious surface, causing environmental disasters and environmental pollution problems, such as lowering the groundwater level and increasing water pollution. In Korea, low impact development (LID) techniques have been introduced to minimize these environmental impacts and maintain the water cycle soundness. However, most small-scale development projects are in blind spots because there is no legal basis for rainfall runoff management. Small-scale development projects that increase the surface runoff of rainwater are required to mandate the application of LID facilities in accordance with the polluters' responsibility principle. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a preliminary consultation system for water cycle recovery. This study focuses on the cost-benefit analysis on the application of LID techniques for small-scale development projects. The scale of nationwide small-scale development projects used for cost-benefit analysis were defined as buildings with a land area of more than 1,000 ㎡ or a total floor area of 1,500 ㎡. As a result of analyzing the cost-benefits from the installation of LID facilities, they were found to be much lower than the economic standard value of 1. This might be due to the high cost of facilities compared to the scale of the project. However, considering the overall environmental value of improving the water environment and air quality by the installation of LID facilities and the publicity of reducing the operating cost of sewage treatment facilities, the introduction of a prior consultation for small-scale development projects is inevitable. In the future, institutional and financial support from local governments is required to improve the cost-benefits with the introduction of a prior consultation for small-scale development projects.

Geothermal energy is easy to take advantage of renewable energy stored in the earth and the heat exchanger can be collected through a heat exchange piping system. In this study, have been developed a heat exchange pipe loop system which it could be installed in tunnel segmental linings to collect geothermal energy around the tunnel. The heat exchange pipe loop system incorporated in the tunnel segments circulate fluid to transport with heat from the surrounding ground and the heat can be used for heating and cooling of nearby structures or districts. The segmental lining incorporating heat exchange pipe loop system are called as ELS (Energy Lining Segment). There are a number of examples incorporating a heat exchange pipe loop system in a tunnel lining in Europe. In this study, a field case using Energy Lining Segment in Germany and applications in urban area are thoroughly examined. In addition, a CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was carried out to investigate heat flow in Energy Lining Segment.

A non-stationary multivariate model is selected in which the mean and variance of rainfall are not temporally or spatially constant. And the rainfall prediction system is constructed which uses the recursive estimation algorithm, Kalman filter, to estimate system states and parameters of rainfall model simulataneously. The on-line, real-time, multivariate short-term, rainfall prediction for multi-stations and lead-times is carried out through the estimation of non-stationary mean and variance by the storm counter method, the normalized residual covariance and rainfall speed. The results of rainfall prediction system model agree with those generated by non-stationary multivariate model. The longer the lead time is, the larger the root mean square error becomes and the further the model efficiency decreases form 1. Thus, the accuracy of the rainfall prediction decreases as the lead time gets longer. Also it shows that the mean obtained by storm counter method constitutes the most significant part of the rainfall structure.

1900년대 이후 산업발전에 따른 인구의 도시 집중화로 인한 하수량 증가에 따라 하수슬러지 발생량이 점차 증가하게 되면서 하수슬러지 처리에 관한 문제 등이 제기되기 시작하였다. 국내의 경우 2003년 하수슬러지의 매립이 금지된 후, 발생슬러지 대부분을 해양투기 등을 통해 처리하여왔다. 2009년 기준으로 국내에서 발생되는 하수슬러지량과 처리 분포를 살펴보면 전국 433개소 하수처리장에서 1일 평균 8,295톤(3,028천톤/년)이 발생되고 있으며, 이 중 47%가 해양투기 되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 해양투기마저도 런던협약'96의정서 가입으로 2012년부터 금지됨에 따라 국내에서는 슬러지처리 및 재활용 방안과 관련한 연구개발이 활발히 진행되고 있는 중이다. 하수슬러지 처리 및 재활용기술의 경우 다양한 공법 등이 개발 중에 있으나 설비의 불안정 및 높은 투자비 등으로 인해 아직까지 상용화 된 설비 등은 많지 않은 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 POSCO 건설에서 개발한 슬러지 연료화 기술을 통해 생산된 슬러지 탄을 석탄 화력발전소 등에 석탄 보조연료로 활용할 수 있는 방안을 강구하여 상용화 가능한 혼소 기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 슬러지탄(발열량 3.000kcal 이상)을 석탄 화력발전소 보일러에 일정 비율로 혼소하여 슬러지탄의 품질평가, 중금속 용출시험 및 함량분석, 잔재물의 중금속 용출시험 등을 실시하였으며, 그 결과 모든 시험항목에서 연료화 관련 법적기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 슬러지탄을 화력발전소에 혼소하여 사용할 경우, 2012년부터 시행예정인 RPS(Renewable Portfolio Standard)법 대응 및 석탄사용량 저감 등을 통한 $CO_2$ 저감으로 저탄소 녹색성장의 자원순환사회를 구축하는 데 이바지 할 것으로 판단된다.

대구시는 여름철을 제외하고 서북서풍내지 서풍으로 서풍계열의 바람이 우세하여 지리적으로 서쪽에 위치한 공장지대와 신흥 부도심의 영향이 도심지 내부에 크게 나타날 수밖에 없는 그런 구조를 가지고 있으므로 도심내의 녹지공원 조성과 같은 오아시스 효과로 자연형 대기 순환 구조를 구축하지 않을 경우 환경오염과 지구온난화로 인한 심각한 피해가 초래할 수 있으므로 친환경도시를 위한 준비를 소홀히 해서는 않된다고 사료된다. 아울러 대구광역시의 연평균 대기오염물질의 농도는 $PM_{10}$, $NO_2$ 제외하고 환경기준을 초과한 것은 없으며, 주로 자동차와 주변 공장에 의한 오염원이 대부분임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 $PM_{10}$의 경우 대구시에 산재한 환경측정만 대부분의 지점에서 환경기준을 초과하고 있으므로 디젤 자동차 및 비산먼지 저감 등 미세분진에 대한 저감 대책을 신속히 마련하여야 한다고 생각한다. 그리고 대구시의 $O_3$과 $PM_{10}$의 고농도 현상은 고기압이 장시간 우리나라를 지배하면서 대기가 안정되고 바람이 약하여 국지풍의 발달이 용이할 경우 도심지내에 고농도 오염을 야기하고 있으며 지형적으로 도심의 오염물이 다른 지역으로 수송되거나 확산이 용이하지 않는 지형구조를 갖고 있으므로 도심을 흐르는 신천을 바람통로 이용하고 도심에 녹지공간 형성 및 도심지의 불투수성 지표면을 잔디 이식을 통한 자연형 도로로 바꾸어 줌으로서 도심내의 열 축적 현상을 줄이고 증발산을 도울 수 있는 cold island 역할을 증대시킬 수 있을 것이다. 이와 같은 사업은 풍속이 약하고 건조한 독일을 포함한 유럽의 내륙지방에서 활발하며 최근에는 해안에 있는 대도시에 저온의 해풍 또는 강바람을 도심에 유입시켜 도시열섬을 완화하고자 하는 시도가 일본을 포함한 아시아 국가에서 많은 관심을 가지고 있다(Ichinose, 1999, 2000; 김해동 외, 2002).
