We studied the release characteristics of the marine sediment which could facilitate sea eutrophication through some lab-scale simulation experiments. Environmental indicators such as pH, ORP(oxidation reduction potential), nitrogens, and phosphates were measured in order to calculate the corresponding release rates. $CaO_2$, an oxygen releasing compound was used to determine how it would effect on the natural process of sedimental release. COD, ammonia nitrogen, phosphorous compounds were less released under the oxic environment caused by $CaO_2$. This basic data will help developing methodology for reducing marine eutrophication which may be initiated by the sedimental release.

Most river quality problems are generated by pollutants which are discharged into the river as a consequence of human activities. And eutrophication occurs when water is over enriched with nutrients, principally nitrate and phosphate. Both these nutrients are found in many waste products, especially sewage even when the waste is treated. Eutrophication is concerned in lakes, but it also causes problems in river. Wide growth of Phytoplankton in rivers, leads to blockage of channels, but the main concern is deoxygenation because of the increase in plant life's demand for oxygen in revers. Fish, plant and animals die due to lack of oxygen. The increase of algae floating on the tops of water looks ugly and has attracted public attention and concern in recent years. One way of controlling eutrophication is to restrict the amount of waste carrying nitrate or phosphate from entering the water in the first place. another way is to remove it from the water after it has been entered. This study was carried out to investigate on the trophic state, nutrients and Chlorophyll-a concentration in the Han River. The results were as follows:1. Concentrations of total nitrogen were 2.208~9.221(5.133)mg/$\ell$2. Concentrations of total phosphate were 0.045~0.614(0.195)mg/$\ell$3. Chlorophyll-a concentration were $0.0-25.3(9.6)mg/m^3$.4. The correlation coefficient between T-P and Chlorophyll-a concentration was r=-0.856 at Sungsan sampling site.5. The correlation coefficient was r=-0.578~-0.767, between Paldang Dam outflow and Chlorophyll-a concentration at all sampling sites.

본 연구는 자연생태하에서 지속가능한 태양에너지와 생태계작용에 의한 수질개선기법을 개발하기 위하여 생태연못을 설치하여 수질부하가 발생함에 따라 생태연못에 에너지를 순환시켜 생태적 수질정화 기능을 강화하는데 목적을 두었다. 본 연구에서 생태연못(Eco-Pond) 시스템의 수질개선 원리는 수중(유입수)의 침전, 유기산 생성, 메탄 발효, 호기성 산화, 광합성 산소배출 및 병원균 제거 등을 촉진시키기 위한 목적으로 축산농가 및 마을단위의 축산 및 생활하수 유입부에서 생태연못을 두어 수질을 개선하는 공법 즉, 산화조(Oxidation Pond)에 SolaBee 시스템을 결합한 모델을 제안하였다. 에너지 순환장치를 이용한 수질개선 방안으로는 태양열 연못 내에 물순환장치를 만들어 수체를 효율적으로 순환시키고 공기를 혼합시켜 부영양화가 진행되는 연못이 수질을 자연친화적으로 개선시키도록 하였다. 따라서 연구결과 태양에너지는 다른 자연에너지(풍력 등)에 비해서 에너지 밀도는 낮지만 지역의존성이 적고 그 양이 방대하여 21세기 중요한 에너지원으로 사용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 에너지 순환구조를 가진 생태연못 시스템은 우리나라 중소규모의 농촌 및 축산농가에 보급 될 수 있는 수질개선 시스템이다.

For some decades eutrophication poses a great problem in water quality management in fresh-waters. To solve this problem, studies based on "bottom-up" hypothesis have been mostly carried out worldwidely unlike biomanipulation. This implies that not only fish but also fish stock playa key role down to other food web components in pelagic ecosystem. It is generally accepted that biomanipulation becomes a potent tool for eutrophication control. For a practical application of this, however, further development and understanding of the food web under the specific lake condition on a whole-lake scale are needed. The question is how can we maintain the positive effects resulted from biomanipulation (fortuitous or planned) for a long period.

There has been a great deal of controversy in the views on the impact of the pesticide pollution from the golf courses. The stream and reservoir associated with a existing golf course were investigated. The parameters include the ones related with eutrophication, heavy metals, pesticides. and aquatic ecological conditions. It was found that the impact on the aquatic ecosystem by the pollution from the golf course was not so serious. An aquatic ecological food chain was well established in the reservoir which belongs to the golf course. In contradiction to the general recognition, the livestock farming and agricultural farming gave much more adverse impacts on the stream than the golf course.

최근 기후변화로 인한 국지성 집중호우 증가로 인한 돌발홍수와 강수일수는 감소하고 강수량의 계절적·지역적 편중현상이 심화하여 가뭄의 발생빈도 및 기간이 증가하고 있다. 특히 가뭄에 따른 환경학적 피해로 하천유량의 감소와 더불어 영양물질의 부화로 인해 하천의 수질악화를 야기할 수 있다. 또한 집중호우로 인한 비점오염원 유입이 취약한 유역인 경우 장기적으로 부영양화를 초래하고 지속적인 오염원 축적을 통한 수질오염 특성을 나타낼 수 있다. 따라서 유역별 유량조건에 따른 수질오염원 특성을 파악하고 맞춤형 수질관리를 위한 유역평가방안이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강수계 22개 중권역을 대상으로 요인분석을 실시하여 중권역별 맞춤형 수질관리를 위한 유역진단을 실시하였다. 유역유출모형인 HSPF을 통해 산정된 기준유량을 기준으로 저유량, 고유량 시기를 구분하여 분석하였다. 요인분석 결과값인 각 요인별 수질변동특성을 요인분석 네트워크 그래프를 활용해서 수질변동특성을 분석하고, 유황별 수질환경적 오염원 영향인자들을 파악하였다. 그리고 중권역별 하천 유량조건에 따라 어떠한 오염원에 기인하는지 분류하고 평가하였다.

최근 국내 녹조현상의 빈도가 잦아지고, 지속기간이 증가하였다. 이러한 녹조현상은 이상기후로 인한 일사량, 수온, 체류시간 증가로 인한 환경적인 영향이 있으며, 산업단지 및 농지 등에서 유출되는 질소나 인의 부영양화로 인한 인위적 영향이 있다. 조류종 중 특히 남조류가 생장하는 과정에서 발생하는 독성물질(간독소, 신경독소), 이취미 물질(Geosmin, 2-MIB 등)은 수질을 악화시키고 있어 생태계에 큰 영향을 미친다. 조류는 하천에서 넓은 분포로 발생하게 되는데 현재 조류 조사 방법은 현장에 발생한 조류를 직접 채취하여 연구실에서 현미경으로 직접 검경하기 때문에 많은 인력과 시간, 비용이 소비되고 있는 실정이다. 국내에서는 인력과 시간을 줄이기 위해 센서를 활용한 조류분석 및 원격탐사 기법을 이용한 조류 모니터링에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있다. 하지만 하천에서는 녹조류와 남조류 모두 혼합되어 존재하며 센서를 이용하여 조류를 분석할 시 녹조류는 Chl-a, 남조류는 Phycocyanin을 대체하여 분석하고 있다. 하지만 모든 조류는 광합성을 하기 때문에 Chl-a를 모두 함유하고 있어 Chl-a만으로 남조류를 추정하는 데에는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 조류 계측장비인 LISST-HAB를 통하여 조류시료의 농도를 측정하여 Chl-a, Phycocyanin 농도를 측정하여 조류종 분류에 대한 분석을 진행하였다.

Water quality and Pollution state of Lake Chungcho were evaluated during three years from 1998 to 2000. We surveyed physicochemical parameters, and TSI (trophic state index) was calculated using TP, Chl. a, and SD (secchi disc transparency) data of growing season average. Water samples were collected bimonthly except freezing season. During the study period, total annual precipitation in 1998, 1999 and 2000 year was 1,797,1,722 and 1,345 mm, respectively. Salinity and conductivity were high($29.3{\pm}5.5\;ppt$, and $45,105{\pm}7,585\;{\mu}S/cm$) then other lagoons in the Eastern Coast of Korea. Chemocline was formed by salinity at $0.5{\sim}1.5\;m$ water depth. As a result of this, DO concentration of hypolimnion was below $3.0\;mgO_2/L$. Especially, when intense chemocline was formed, temperature of hypolimnion was higher than epilimnion. Secchi disc transparency, chlorophyll a, and COD were $1.8{\pm}0.3\;m$, $15.7{\pm}20.7\;mg/m^3$, and $3.1{\pm}0.8\;mgO_2/L$, respectively. Most of TN/TP ratios below 20, but concentration of TN and TP was high. Values of TSI ranged between 59 and 77, indicating a eutrophic condition in this system.

Some environmental parameters on the shell-fish farms in Deukryang and Gamagyang Bays during summer in 1981 were determined to find an eutrophication level for the conservation of the farm. Chlorophyll-a content in the seawater in the Deukryang Bay in September was $1.0{\sim}5.0{\mu}g/l$ with an average of $2.5{\mu}g/l$ In the superficial bottom muds, contents of COD were 5-10 mg/g, ignition loss $5-9\%$, phaeophytin pigment $2{\sim}5{\mu}g/g$, and sulfide 0.1-0.3 mg/g dry mud in both bays. High contents of both organic matters and sulfide were found in the innermost area of the Deukryang Bay and in the north western part of the Gamagyang Bay. All quantities including chlorphyll-a in the water are little less than or similar to those of Hansan-Geoje Bay, one of the most productive shellfish farms in the southern coastal waters in Korea . Eutrophication on both water and bottom mud was under way like other shellfish farms but pollution indices on the bottom mud calculated from the data of CODs and phaeophytin pigments shelved 6-11, which is much lower than those of Jinhae Bay and of the Hansan-Geoje Bay. This means that the bottom muds are in an early stage of eutrophication, unlike the Jinhae and Hansan-Geoje Bays though the water, similar to the other bays, shows a middle stage of eutrophication.

The damage of water quality like red tide occurs every year inspite of the total load regulation of pollutant inflows from land such as COD, phosphorus and so on around Seto inland sea in Japan. It is attributed to the increase of primary production due to eutrophication. and the rising and settling from the sediment containing nutrient salt. Furthermore, the recent research shows that nutrient salt such as nitrogen and phosphorus, flows into Kii channel from land as well as the Pacific ocean. To investigate the distribution of water quality and flow and residual current in Kitan strait, the field observations were carried out. The field data were obtained a time each season from 1999 to 2002. The results of observations and data of other research institution are used to understand the mechanism of pollution in the strait.
