This study was conducted to investigate the effect of forest road on the suspended sediment yield into a stream in the small forest watershed. The samples of suspended sediment yield were collected at surveying points A and B in mountains watersheds unaffected by forest road, and at surveying point C affected by forest road. When hourly change of suspended sediment concentration was investigated, it showed the highest increase along the forest road, and the peak of suspended sediment concentration due to the watershed characteristics of each surveying point occurred before or at the same time with, the peak of discharge. This may be due to the time lag in which stagnated unstable suspended sediment moved strongly upon rainfall. Although suspended sediment load varied depending upon rainfall factors and surveying period, suspended sediment load per unit watershed flowed out 4.1 times more at the point C than at the point A and B. The suspended sediment load on 18~19 September, 1998, strongly affected by rainfall factors, was 4.179g/sec/㏊ at the point C, and 0.343g/sec/㏊ and 0.147g/sec/㏊ at the point A and B, respectively. This load was 12 times higher at the point C than at the point A and 28 times higher than at the point B.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma module for sterilizing airborne bacteria in indoor spaces and measure the concentration of ozone generated during plasma discharge. Method: The DBD plasma module was installed in a 76m³ space, and air samples were collected under various discharge times to compare the reduction of airborne bacteria. Result: The results showed a significant decrease in airborne bacteria, ranging from 92.057% to 99.999%, with an average ozone concentration of 0.04 ppm, below the reference value. Conclusion: The study suggests that plasma discharge can be used as a means of preventing the spread of airborne bacteria and viruses, while ensuring safety for human exposure.

After exposing Olive flounder and Korean rockfish to the concentration ranges of control (0 mg/L), 100 mg/L, 250 mg/L, 500 mg/L, and 1,000 mg/L, to investigate the physiological properties of suspended load on fish AST/GOT, ALT/GPT, ALP and cortisol were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the AST/GOT, ALT/GPT, ALP and cortisol values were higher in the suspended load concentration section than in the control group. After artificial infection with S. parauberis for Olive flounder and V. harveyi for Korean rockfish exposed to suspended load, the survival rate was higher in the control group than in the suspended load concentration section. These results are related to the previously study results of suspended load that adversely affect fish, suggesting that suspended load affects the health of fish.

The open-channel flow with submerged vegetation shows distinct features in two separate regions, namely upper and vegetation layers. In the upper layer, the flow is akin to the open-channel flow, while the flow in the vegetation layer is relatively uniform with suppressed turbulence due to vegetation stems. This paper presents laboratory experiments to investigate the characteristics of turbulent flows and suspended sediment transport in open-channel flows with submerged vegetation. An open-channel facility, 0.5 m wide and 12 m long, was used for laboratory experiments. Various discharges were employed with depth ratios of 2~3, and wooden cylinders were used for vegetation. To make equilibrium suspension, sediment particles of median diameter of 75 ${\mu}M$ were fed until capacity condition. Laser Doppler velocimeter was used to measure instantaneous velocity, and direct sampling with vinyl tube was used to measure the concentration of suspended sediment. Using the sampled data, the mean flow and turbulence structures were provided and characteristics of suspended sediment concentration with Rouse number were presented.

Investigation and policy related to floating debris are focused on water treatment or disposal costs, and water pollution caused by floating debris has not been evaluated. In this study, it was surveyed the water environment pollution on the stagnation zone by floating debris in Nakdong River basin of Busan Metropolitan City. The water quality of the constant stagnation zone had lower DO than that of the non-stagnation zone. COD and Chl-a showed similar concentrations in the both zones. As a result of the collecting net surveys which were kept floating during 3 months, the most abundant species(4 species) of arthropods appeared, and Chironomidae sp. is dominant. It was also resistant to the deteriorated water quality, and emerged as a Lepomis macrochirus on the stagnant waters with a slowly flow rate.

Photocatalytic oxidation conditions of reactant recirculation flow rate 275 mL/min, aeration rate 2 LPM and $UV+TiO_2+H_2O_2$(500 mg/L) proved to be appropriate for water including organic materials treatment. With increasing turbidity and suspended solids concentration, at turbidity 10 NTU-suspended solids concentration 29 mg/L the phenol degradation efficiency increased, which in turn decreased at turbidity 50 NTU-suspended solids concentration 170 mg/L, however no significant differences were observed, demonstrating similar results with those obtained at zero turbidity and suspended solids concentration. The degradation efficiency of phenol decreased with increasing influent phenol concentrations. The $UV+TiO_2+H_2O_2$ photocatalytic advanced oxidation process conducted is considered to be possibly applied to the drinking water treatment, and the post-treatment process of biological wastewater treatment.

The objective of this study is to propose reservoir operation method in relation to the suspended sediment concentration due to rainstorms. Present analysis is made for the Tamjin reservoir which is under construction. For the hydrologic computations the Huff rainfall distribution, Clark unit hydrograph method and Puls reservoir routing method are used. The variation of suspended sediment concentration is calculated by 2-dimensional RMA-4 model. As a result of this study, the possible intake time from the reservoir under low frequency flood is estimated and the rainfall-ret urn period - possible intake time relationship is established, which is very important in maintaining the water quality standard when supplying water from the reservoir for different utilizationurn period- possible intake time relationship is established, which is very important in maintaining the water quality standard when supplying water from the reservoir for different utilizations.

The coastal areas around Palau Island and Tonga Island, near the Pacific equator, consist of coral reefs, mangrove and seaweed. In particular, understanding the optical properties of sea surface water in coral reef habitats helps improve the accuracy of remote sensing based habitat mapping and identify tropical ecosystem characteristics. Here, we collected spectral characteristics of sea surface water of Palau Island and Tonga Island and analyzed the concentration of suspended matters, absorption coefficient, and remote sensing reflectance to understand the seawater characteristics of the coral reef habitats. Based on the results of the suspended matter concentration analysis, we developed and verified an empirical algorithm to derive the concentration from satellite data using remote sensing reflectance of three bands, 555, 625, 660 nm, showed a high determinant coefficient, 0.98. In conclusion, coral reef habitats in tropical regions are characterized by CASE-I water in terms of the marine optics with oligotrophic properties, and require monitoring using continuous collection and analysis of field data.

항만 준설 공사로 인하여 재부유된 퇴적물은 주 변수에 따라 이송되고 확산되어 주위 경관을 해치고, 인근 어장이나 해안 생태계에도 영향을 미치게 된다(IADC/CEDA, 2000). 이러한 이유로 준설사업의 계획단계에서 고려해야하는 기술정보 판단자료는 부유사의 확산 범위와 거리별 농도 분포이다. (중략)
