Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in an increase in impervious areas and an increase in runoff, therefore, this causes more flooding and damage in urban areas. This study has analyzed the effects of improvements to the roughness coefficient in storm sewer pipes on flood runoff and outflow through rainfall-runoff simulations. The simulations are implemented by three scenarios to evaluate effects of improvements to the roughness coefficient for the improved length ratio to the total length, diameters and mainlines of sewer pipes. The size and length of the sewer mains are large and long to effectively increase the flow rate to the outlet, secure the passage discharge capacity of the pipe and reduce the overflow. It is effective for flood reduction that the improvement to roughness coefficient is first conducted in mainlines with longer lengths and larger diameters. The results from this study can provide a guideline for prioritizing of the sewer pipe replacement.

This study aims at development and application of a facility that is capable of reducing pollution in water quality by reducing nonpoint source pollutants (NPSP). NPSP originated from the initial rainfall caused not only large catchment of urban area pass a river but also small watershed pass a stream. For this purpose, the performance tests carried out with the field models from the facility based on the preceding study. And the tests induced reduction efficiency of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (T-N) and suspended solid (SS), respectively. The average reduction efficiency obtained by time interval, and the result showed an excellent reduction performance. As a result, the facility satisfied reduction efficiency of NPSP of the proposed standard by the National Institute of Environmental Research, and thus it can be used in practical applications.

This study presented a plan for the establishment of conservation areas and the ecological management of those areas in the stream based on the Marxan with Zones Program for a Jungrangcheon Stream in downtown Seoul. The application of the Marxan with Zones Program included the stage of planning unit setting, application of mapping indices, numerical correction for repetitive analysis, creation of scenario-specific optimizations through analysis, analysis of sensitivity by scenario, review, and the selection of optimal plans among the scenarios considered. As a result of the establishment of a conservation area near Jungrangcheon Stream, which has several watershed areas, including an upper-middle-class wildlife protection zone, which was previously designated and managed as a conservation area, and the migratory protection zone downstream of Jungrangcheon Stream were designated as key conservation areas. A number of wild birds were observed in the upper reaches of Jungrangcheon Stream, adjacent to the forests of Suraksan Mountain and Dobongsan Mountain. The downstream area is a habitat for migratory birds that travel along the stream and the adjacent river ecosystem, including the Hangang River confluence and Cheonggyecheon Stream confluence. Therefore, the upper and lower reaches of Jungrangcheon Stream are connected to forest ecosystems such as Dobongsan Mountain, Suraksan Mountain, and Eungbongsan Mountain, as well as urban green area and river ecosystems in the basin area, which influence the establishment of conservation areas. This study verified the establishment and evaluation of existing conservation areas through the Marxan with Zones Program during the verification of the conservation areas and was presented as in-stream management and basin management method to manage the basin areas derived from core conservation areas determined through the program.

최근 도시지역의 확대와 고밀도화에 따른 도시근교의 산림, 논밭, 녹지 등이 감소하고, 도로나 건축물 등의 증가로 인해 불투수 유역이 확대되어, 원래 그 토지가 유지하고 있던 보수 유수 기능이 현저히 저하되고 있다. 그 결과 강우 시 표면 유출량의 증가와 유출시간의 단축이 현저하게 되고, 도시하천이나 하수도 유하 능력을 넘는 홍수가 자주 발생하고 있다. 또한 빗물 침투량이 줄어들어, 용천수 고갈, 하천의 평상시 유량감소가 나타나게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 최근 유역 내에 저류시설과 침투시설 등 유출저감효과를 기대할 수 있는 여러 가지 시설의 활용방안이 꾸준히 모색되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 내배수 홍수분담시설 중 저류와 침투의 기능을 모두 갖추고 있는 쇄석공극저류시설의 효율성을 분석하였다. 또한 쇄석저류지와 규모와 형태가 유사한 우수저류지와의 비교를 통해 상대적인 효율성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 두 시설이 같은 규모를 가진다고 가정할 때, 우수저류지가 쇄석저류지에 비하여 월등한 유출저감효과를 보이는 것으로 파악되었다.

도시유역의 소하천은 불투수 면적의 증가 및 우수관거의 설치로 인해 오염물질 및 강우의 유달률이 증가한 반면 침투 및 저류 기능의 감소로 인해 지하수위가 저하되어 비강우시에 현저하게 유량이 감소되어 하천환경에 심각한 문제를 나타내고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 다수의 연구에서 유역에 저영향개발기술을 제안하고 있으나 이들은 과다한 면적을 필요로 함에 따라 설치 및 유지관리에 많은 비용이 발생하고 기존에 개발되어 있는 도시유역에 적용하기 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 도시 소하천의 유량과 수질 문제를 저감하기 위해 위와 같은 문제점을 고려하여 하천 제외지 지하공간을 이용하여 초기 우수 제어 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 본 시스템은 도시유역에서 강우에 의해 초기에 오염물질이 다량으로 유출되는 소위 초기세척효과를 제어하기 위해 침전시스템을 설치하고 및 교체가 가능한 카트리지형 여과 시스템으로 구성하였다. 여과 시스템에서 섬유필터를 이용하여 수질을 개선하고 또한 침전 및 여과시스템에 저류가 가능하도록 하여 도시 소하천의 유량에 따라 방류를 조절함으로써 도시 하천의 건천화 감소에 도움이 되도록 구성하였다. 또한 초기우수 제어 시스템을 효율적으로 운영하기 위해 SWMM(Storm Water Management Model) 적용 결과와 자동모니터링 스시템을 활용하는 종합설계 및 관리시스템을 개발하고 있다. 이를 위해 시범 유역에 SWMM을 구축하고 보정 및 검증을 실시하였다. ?측 및 SWMM을 이용하여 계산한 결과 연구대상 지역에서 처리시설에서 수용할 수 있는 초기우수유출량의 적정량은 초기강우 4시간 또는 6 mm의 누적강우량으로 산정되었으며 이를 토대로 현장의 지형여건에 따라 시스템의 설계기준이 수립될 수 있다.

Rapid urbanization poses three major problems in urban streams. The first problem is the reduction of soil wetting from rainfall as the impervious area increases. Decrease in soil wetting causes serious distortion in the water cycle of urban streams. The second problem is the increase of non-point sources pollutants by urban land use, and the third problem is the combined sewer overflows in the old city center. Increased non-point sources pollutants and combined sewer overflows are associated with water cycle distortion, which increases water pollution in urban streams. In this study, EPA SWMM was constructed for the Busan Oncheon-stream watershed in order to suggest solutions for these three problems, and the bio-retention cells installation project was planned by benchmarking the actual projects in New York City. Water cycle improvement and reduction of non-point sources pollutants and combined sewer overflows for each project scenario were analyzed together with required budgets.

LID technologies are capable of mitigating the negative impacts of non-point source (NPS) pollution generated in different land uses. Apart from the increase in point and non-point pollutant generation, highly developed and paved areas generally affect microclimate conditions. This study evaluated both the efficiency of Low Impact Development (LID) facilities in treating NPS pollutant loads as well as the unit pollutant loads (UPL) generated in various urban features (such as parking lots and highways). This investigation also looked at how LID technology helped to alleviate Urban Heat Island (UHI) conditions. As compared to the typical unit pollutant loads in South Korea, the unit pollutant loads at Kongju National University were relatively low, because of no classes, limited vehicular transmission, and low anthropogenic activities during vacation. After receiving treatment from the LID facilities, the effluent pollutant loads were significantly decreased. The sedimentation in filtration mechanisms considerably reduced the pollutant fractions in the influent. Additionally, it was shown that LID facilities' mean surface temperatures are up to 7.2℃ lower than the nearby paved environment, demonstrating the LID systems reducing the UHI impact on an urban area.

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether pervious and impervious areas in urban areas affect tree growth. In order to determine the differences in the growth of six species of trees planted simultaneously, the effects of pervious and impervious surfaces on tree growth were analyzed using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) produced using Sentinel-2 and sub-divided land cover map from the Ministry of Environment. For this purpose, the Geospatial eXplainable Artificial Intelligence(GeoXAI) concept was applied. As a result of the analysis, the explanatory power of the model was found to be the best when considering the area of land cover included in the 10m range for Pinus densiflora, the 20 m range for Zelkova Serrata, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, and Ginkgo biloba, the 30 m range for Platanus occidentalis, and the 40 m range for Yoshino cherry trees. In addition, the wider the pervious area, the more active the growth of trees,showing a positive correlation, and the wider the impervious area, such as nearby artificial ground, showed a negative correlation with tree growth. This shows that surrounding pervious and impervious areas affect the growth of trees and that the scope of influence varies depending on the tree species.

This study was conducted to identify the magnitude of first flush in small city urban area and to provide the basic information on the criteria of stormwater runoff management. Monitoring site was surrounded by residential area in Gumi city near to national industrial complex and the monitoring period was three months. Total watershed area was 24.9 ha, where 80% of the area is impervious (asphalt of pavement type). Periodic monitoring of conventional water quality parameters were conducted with six times of rainfall period. Event mean and site mean concentrations for all the parameters were calculated based on the analytical results. Particle size distribution was 9.82 ${\mu}m$ for $D_{0.1}$, 38.99 ${\mu}m$ for $D_{0.5}$ and 159.61 ${\mu}m$ for $D_{0.9}$ respectively. First flush phenomenon was detected highly in particulate solids than dissolved ones. The first flush criteria results by mass first flush contained between 44.4% to 58.5% pollutant mass during the first 30% of runoff volume. Mass first flush ratio and particle size distribution obtained in this study are expected to provide the basic information for the design and operation of non-point source treatment facility.

최근 환경부에서 발표한 「제3차(2021~2025) 강우유출 비점오염관리 종합대책(2020)」에 의하면, 우리나라는 지난 50년간 급격한 도시화, 산업화 과정을 거치면서 불투수면적이 전 국토의 약 22.4%에 달한다고 보고되고 있다. 특히 전체 소권역의 6%에 해당하는 51개 소권역의 경우 불투수 면적률 25%를 넘어서고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 불투수면의 증가는 기후변화에 의한 영향으로 토양 침투량과 기저유출량을 감소, 갈수기 하천건천화 심화, 우기 표면유출수 증가를 가중시키며 이로인한 비점오염물질 유입 증가, 수질 악화의 원인으로 작용 될 수 있다. 이에 정부에서는 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 사업 및 친환경그린인프라(Green Infrastructure, GI) 기술요소를 적용하여 도시지역 기후위기 대응 수단의 일원으로 우수유출 저감, 물순환 구조 개선, 비점오염원을 관리하고자 '그린빗물인프라(Green Stormwater Infrastructure, GSI) 조성 사업'을 추진하여 공공청사를 중심으로 학교, 도서관, 체육시설, 공원 등 적용 범위를 확대하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기후변화에 가장 취약한 해안도시지역인 경상남도에 위치하고 있으며, 불투수면적이 높고 노후화된 소규모 청사 2곳을 시범 구역으로 선정하였다. 각 시범 구역별 GSI 시설 적용이 가능한 주차장, 화단, 옥상 등의 개선방안을 제시하였으며, 적용 규모를 달리하여 물순환·물 환경 개선 효과를 검증하였다. 검증에는 국내에서 개발된 K-LIDM 모형을 활용한 우수유출저감 및 직접유출체적 산정결과를 통해 물순환 효과를, 국립환경과학원에서 제시되고 있는 '토지계 지목별 발생부하원단위', 수질환경개선 보고서에서 제시된 침투형, 식생형 비점오염저감시설의 저감효율을 활용하여 물순환 저감효과를 분석하여 비교하였다.
