The Sangdae-ri riverside around Musimcheon stream, flowing through Gadeok-myon of Cheongju City, is one of the representative strawberry fields employing water curtain cultivation (WCC) in Korea. In this area, annual groundwater use for WCC has been calculated by a few methods. On the assumption that all the water flowing through the final ditch may be mostly composed of groundwater, the discharge rate in it can be used as a good proxy for assessing the groundwater use. However, in the study area, the final ditch was set up in an unpaved state near and parallel to Musimcheon stream. Under such circumstances, the drainwater is likely to be influenced by infiltration and/or inflow of nearby stream. Hence, we examined whether or not stream water has influenced water flowing out through the final ditch in respect of ion concentrations or field parameters such as T, pH and electrical conductivity (EC) values. The period of measuring field parameters and sample collection was from February 2012 through February 2015. The drainwater in the final ditch did not show the average quality of groundwater, but similar quality of stream water in respect of pH, EC, ion contents and water type. From this, it is suggested that measuring the flow rate of the final ditch should not be directly used for assessing groundwater use in the study area. In addition, because of its sensitivity to ambient temperature, water temperature proved not to be appropriate for estimating the interaction between ditch and stream. For accuracy, additional methods will be needed to calculate mixing ratios between stream and ground water within drainage system.

Integrated modelling of surface water and groundwater has become important to satisfy the growing demands for sustainable water resources and improved water quality. In this study, the integrated model of the semi-distributed watershed model, SWA T and the fully-distributed groundwater flow model, MODFLOW is applied to Musirn river basin for the purpose of investigating its applicability to reproduce watershed-scale hydrological processes. This objective is accomplished by first demonstrating good agreement between the simulated discharge hydrographs with the measured hydrographs for the period of 2001 -2004 while simultaneously calibrating the calculated groundwater level distribution to observation wells. Next, the integrated model is used to evaluate the effect of different temporal precipitation averages on hydrodynamic processes of streamflow, percolation, recharge and groundwater discharge. Moreover, comprehensive simulations are performed to present the relationships between monthly precipitation and each hydrological component, and to analyze the temporal-spatial variability of recharge. The results show that the components are highly interrelated, and that the heterogeneity of watershed characteristics such as subbasin slope, land use, soil type causes a significant spatial variation of recharge. Overall it is concluded that the model is capable of reproducing the temporally and spatially varied surface and subsurface hydrological processes at the watershed scale.

The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the impact of increase in impervious areas due to urbanization on the pollutant discharge using the HSPF model at Musim watershed. Model calibration and validation were performed based on the observed data 2015 and 2014, all simulation items have been successfully simulated such as flow, BOD, and TP. The land cover map used in the model reflected on the land use status of the Musim watershed in 2015 and the application of the development areas and locations. As a result of simulation, during rainfall daily pollutant load with the increased impervious land increased more than that before the development. However, the pollutant load decreased during the non-rainfall time. Annual pollutant load in rainfall time was significantly higher than that in non-rainfall time, BOD and TP increased. The simulation of non-point source pollutant load was applied under two assumptions, such as the increased area of impervious land and the non-change number of point source load before and after development. As the result of a simulation, the non-point source pollutant load after development was bigger than those before development. It was necessary to take measures to control non-point source pollution at the consideration status of development.

The $Km^{r}$ gene and plasmid of natural isolate and genetically modified microorganisms (GMM) rearranged by conjugation in water environments were comparatively analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and Southern analysis. The transfer rates of the $Km^{r}$ gene from GMM strains were generally 100 times higher than thosc of natural iso]ate(DKI) under laboratory cnvironments, but their transfer rate was not much different in Moosimcheon River water. The conjugants obtained in LB(Luria-Bertani broth) and FW(filtered river water) water under laboratory conditions showed same number of the plasmids. but the sizes of the plasmids were changed. The $Km^{r}$ gene in the conjugants was found in the same position as the pDKJO] $Km^{r}$ plasmid. In case of the GMM strains as donor. the large plasmids of 180 kb appeared in conjugants obtained in LB and FW water. Especially, the $Km^{r}$ gene in the donor of DKC600 was found to be inserted into chromosome of the conjugant obtained in FW water. However. in the conjugants obtained from DKl and DKB 701 in Moosimcheon River water, the plasmids were rearranged by 4 and 8. respectively, and all of them showed hybridization by the $Km^{r}$ probe. But the small plasmids of the recipient disappeared in the conjugant from DKC600 as donor, and the rearranged plasm ids and chromosome in the conjugants were observed to be hybridized with the $Km^{r}$ probe. Therefore, rearrangement of $Km^{r}$ gene and plasmids by conjugation was found to be afTected diversely by cellular characteristics as well as by environmental factors.

The accurate estimation of groundwater recharge is important for the proper management of groundwater systems. The widely used techniques of groundwater recharge estimation include water table fluctuation method, baseflow separation method, and annual water balance method. However, these methods can not represent the temporal-spatial variability of recharge resulting from climatic condition, land use, soil storage and hydrogeological heterogeneity because the methods are all based on the lumped concept and local scale problems. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present an effective method for estimating groundwater recharge with spatial-temporal variability using the SWAT model which can represent the heterogeneity of the watershed. The SWAT model can simulate daily surface runoff, evapotranspiration, soil storage, recharge, and groundwater flow within the watershed. The model was applied to the Musimcheon watershed located in the upstream of Mihocheon watershed. Hydrological components were determined during the period from 2001 to 2004, and the validity of the results was tested by comparing the estimated runoff with the observed runoff at the outlet of the catchment. The results of temporal and spatial variations of groundwater recharge were presented here. This study suggests that variations in recharge can be significantly affected by subbasin slope as well as land use.

The morphological variation and density of the Euglena viridis cells and environmental factors of urban waterways of Daejoncheon , Jeonjucheon, Kwangjucheon, Kumhogang, Mihocheon,and Musimcheon, Korea were studied from 25December, 1995 to 5 January, 1997 in order toelucidate possible relationships among the bio-logical and abiological factors. All E. viridis cells were same in having single star-cluster of chlo-roplast lobes and included two morphotypes based on other detailed morphology. The morphotype I cells agreed well with the typical form off. viridrs and commonly occurred in most of waters and bloomed with $5386\;cells\;{\cdot}\;mL^{-1}$ in Kwangjucheon. The density of the morphotype Ipositively correlated with ammonium (r = 0.80)and nitrite (r = 0.68), while negatively with nit-rate concentration. The morphotype II cells were characterized by having randomly scattered cytoplasmic granules beneath pellicle and unevenmargined lobes of chloroplasts. The density of the morphotype II positively correlated with nitrate (r = 0.98), while negatively correlated with ammonium and nitrite. However, the density of each morphotype was not significantly related with inorganic phosphate, temperature and pH of surface water. These results indicate that E. viridis includes two morphotypes in urban waterways in Korea, that coexist in the same period and station as a response of allocation of nitrogenous nutrients.

교통과 산업의 발달로 농촌인구의 감소가 빠르게 진행되고, 도시로 유입된 인구의 거주 공간 확보를 위해 도시주변의 피복 변화가 빠르게 진행되고 있다. 도시 지표의 대부분이 아스팔트나 콘크리트 등으로 피복되어 있어 도심의 기온이 교외와 비교하여 높게 형성되는 도시열섬현상(urban heat island, UHI)이 두드러지고 있다. 따라서 도시열섬현상 해소 대책으로 다양한 방법들이 분야 별로 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 청주시 소재(미호천과 무심천을 대상으로) 하천으로 부터 떨어진 거리에 따른 열환경에 대하여 토지 피복에 따른 공간적 특성 분석을 수행함으로서 하천이 도심지 열 환경에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 하천을 중심으로 $0{\sim}1000m$ 까지 200m 간격의 버퍼를 생성하고 Landsat 영상에 의한 NDVI와 온도분포도를 이용하여 청주시 하천의 근접성에 따른 NDVI 및 온도 분포 분석 결과, NDVI는 하천을 기준으로 거리가 멀어질수록 점차적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였고 온도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Quick-bird 영상에 의한 토지피복도와 NDVI, 온도 데이터를 중첩분석한 결과 NDVI는 산림-경작지-초지-나지-시가지 및 건조지 순으로 나타났고 평균온도는 NDVI의 역순으로 나타났다. 특히, 시가지를 비롯하여 공업지, 상업지 등 건조지역과 나지는 평균 $24^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 인구밀집지역은 높은 온도분포를 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.

지표수-지하수 통합모형인 SWAT-MODLFOW는 토양수가 침루과정을 거쳐 지하수로 유입되는 일방향 구조를 갖고 있어 지하수위 상승 및 하강에 따른 토양수량, 침루량, 중간유출량 등 수문성분량의 변화를 고려할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지하수위 변화에 따른 토양수의 분포양상 변화를 고려할 수 있도록 토양수-지하수간의 연결 구조를 양방향으로 개선하여 두 영역간의 연결성을 강화하였다. 지하수위가 상승할 경우 토양대와 지하수대간의 중첩 영역이 생기게 되는데, 이 중첩 영역을 지하수대로 간주하여 영역 내 흐름거동이 지하수 유동 메커니즘을 따르는 토양수-지하수 결합루틴을 새롭게 제시하였다. 이 결합루틴은 지하수 상승, 하강에 따라 토양수대의 두께가 변하는 가변 토양층 방식(variable soil layer method)으로 계산을 수행할 수 있도록 코드를 구성하였다. 개선된 SWAT-MODLFOW 모형을 무심천 유역에 적용하여 토양수와 지하수간의 상호작용을 해석하고 하천저지대와 같이 지하수위 상승지역에서의 수문성분량의 분포를 보다 현실적으로 구현할 수 있음을 입증하였다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the theoretical methodology for development of an water quality management system with the optimal control of dilution water and point sources in streams. For the development of objective function and constraints, the control vectors are defined with stream inflows and concentrations of effluents at water treatment plant, and the state vectors are defined with water quality parameters such as DO, $BOD_5$, COD and SS concentrations. The applied system solution technique is augmented Lagrangian technique. The developed water quality optimal management methodology was applied to a case study at the Musim stream in Cheong-ju city. The results of the application show that the methodology is suitable for the comprehensive analysis of polluted water systems, and will be utilized to more useful operation of limited water resources in Korean streams.
