As the impermeable area increases due to urbanization and industrialization, the influence of non-point pollutants caused by rainfall runoff on the water system is increasing. In the past, the best management practices(BMP) were used a lot to manage non-point pollutants, but recently, technology that naturally treats them through LID (Low Impact Development) technology is widely used. In this study, various rainfall events were simulated through the SWMM model based on the data of rainfall monitoring in bioretention among natural facilities. The characteristic of LID modeling research is that it is difficult to build accurate modeling data with short-term data because real data is the result obtained through natural facilities, and it is difficult to implement an accurate model. In this study, the data monitored for 3 years It is significant in that it has built a precise model. The actual data monitored a total of 18 times was simulated, and the inflow and outflow and the removal efficiency of five pollutants were simulated. As a result of performing the performance evaluation, most of the 7 items showed excellent indicators, and the TN and TP showed relatively low simulation performance. In the future, it is expected that Korea will introduce an integrated water management system in which the water supply system and the sewage system are substantially integrated and operated. Therefore, the results of this study are considered to play an important role in the initial stage of rainfall management in the future integrated water management system, and the extent of rainfall runoff reduction and pollutant reduction in the expected installation area can be predicted in advance. This is expected to prevent overdesign of bioretention.

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.

Permeable pavement technology allows the penetration of rainfall into the roadbed, thereby reducing surface runoff and enhancing water quality. The water quality can be improved by adding a filter layer to the permeable pavement. This study analyzes the permeability performance and particulate-matter removal efficiency of a bottom ash-silica sand filter. The performances of five filters with bottom ash and silica sand as the basic materials were evaluated on particulate matter sized 60 ㎛ or smaller. The pure silica sand sample and pure bottom ash sample delivered an average removal efficiency of around 70%. The removal efficiency of the mixed sample was approximately 90%, exceeding the recommended reduction rate (80%) at non-point pollution reduction facilities. In future work, the filter performance should be further verified on permeable pavement.

Nutrients in stormwater runoff have raised concerns regarding water quality degradation in the recent years. Low impact development (LID) technologies are types of nature-based solutions developed to address water quality problems and restore the predevelopment hydrology of a catchment area. Two LID facilities, infiltration trench (IT) and infiltration planter (IP), are known for their high removal rate of nutrients through sedimentation and vegetation. Long-term monitoring was conducted to assess the performance and cite the advantages and disadvantages of utilizing the facilities in nutrient removal. Since a strong ionic bond exists between phosphorus compounds and sediments, reduction of total phosphorus (TP) (more than 76%), in both facilities was associated to the removal of total suspended solids (TSS) (more than 84%). The efficiency of nitrogen in IP is 28% higher than IT. Effective nitrification occurred in IT and particulate forms of nitrogen were removed through sedimentation and media filters. Decrease in ammonium- nitrogen (NH₄-N) and nitrite-nitrogen (NO₂-N), and increase in nitrate-nitrogen (NO₃-N) fraction forms indicated that effective nitrification and denitrification occurred in IP. Hydrologic factors such as rainfall depth and rainfall intensity affected nutrient treatment capabilities of urban stormwater LID facilities The greatest monitored rainfall intensity of 11 mm/hr for IT yielded to 34% and 55% removal efficiencies for TN and TP, respectively, whereas, low rainfall intensities below 5 mm resulted to 100 % removal efficiency. The greatest monitored rainfall intensity for IP was 27 mm/hr, which still resulted to high removal efficiencies of 98% and 97% for TN and TP, respectively. Water quality assessment showed that both facilities were effective in reducing the amount of nutrients; however, IP was found to be more efficient than IT due to its additional provisions for plant uptake and larger storage volume.

Non-point source pollution is the emission source that unspecifically releases pollutants to water system from unspecific places such as cities, agricultural lands, mountains, and construction sites and its discharge path is not easily identified. Also, it is difficult to design and manage the reduction facilities for the emission quantity is primarily affected from weather conditions like rainfall. Since 2006, the significance of non-point source pollution reduction has been grown in Republic of Korea and this reinforces needs for the installation of reduction facilities. However, because the standards for the installation details and reduction efficiency are not clarified by law, people are preferring technologies that do not require particular maintenance and high expenses. The purpose of this study is to examine and maintain the efficiency of non-point source pollutants reduction facility which uses expended polypropylene as a media. The higher the depth of the media, the less range of variations in the reduction efficiency was observed and the final efficiency was also increased. When the media depth was 60 cm, the average reduction efficiency was 94% and 90% where linear velocities were 10 m/hr and 20 m/hr respectively. The results from 180 minutes operation in 10 m/hr and 20 m/hr of linear velocities were slightly different in head loss changes which were caused by media depth variations. The backwash experiments which were conducted in triplicate showed the reduction efficiency decreased as the time went on because of the media clogging. However, it was found that after the backwashing the reduction efficiency was increased as effective as the efficiency of the initial filtration.

최근 도시화에 따라 불투수 면적이 증가하였고 이는 유역의 수문학적 요소와 수질의 큰 변화를 발생시켰다. 불투수면적의 증가는 강우 시 더 많은 강우유출수를 발생시켜 지표유출과 첨두유량을 증가시키고 더 많은 비점오염물질이 하천에 유입되게 한다. 또한, 토양으로의 침투량과 저류량이 감소되어 기저유출을 감소시키며 수질문제를 야기한다. 이러한 문제의 해결책으로 저영향개발 (Low Impact Development; LID) 기법이 개발되어 적용되고 있다. LID는 도시개발 이전의 수문상태와 유사하도록 개발하는 기법으로 우수 유출 속도 감소, 유역에서의 저류, 침투 및 증발산과정 촉진, 하류로의 오염물질을 저감시킨다. 실제 유역에 저영향개발 기법을 적용하기 전에 저영향개발 기법의 적용 효과의 분석은 필수적이다. 이에 따라 많은 LID 기법 모형들이 개발되어 LID 효과분석을 위해 많이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN) 모형을 이용하여 LID시설 내에서의 저류현상을 구현하고 LID 기법 적용에 따른 유역의 수문요소 및 수질에 대한 영향을 분석하고자 한다. 연구대상지로는 불투수면적률이 높은 굴포천을 선정하였으며, LID 기법 적용 전 유역의 수문, 수질 실측치를 이용하여 모형의 보정 및 검정을 수행하였다. HSPF 모형내에 LID 시설을 적용하여 유역내 수문요소와 수질의 변화를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 LID 효과 분석을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this research, a pilot scale hybrid rain garden system was developed in order to investigate the efficiency in the different components of the hybrid rain garden system and at the same time evaluate the initial efficiency of the system in treating urban stormwater runoff prior to its actual use in the field. Experimental runs were conducted using synthetic runoff having target concentrations similar to that of the typical runoff characteristics found in different countries and in Korea. With the employment of the hybrid rain garden system, hydrologic improvement was observed as the system demonstrates an approximately 95% reduction in the influent runoff volume with 80% retained in the system, and 15% recharged to groundwater. The reduction was contributed by the retention capabilities of ST and infiltration capabilities in PB and IT. With the combined mechanisms such as filtration-infiltration, biological uptake from plants and soil and phytoremediation that are incorporated in PB and IT, the system effectively reduces the amount of pollutant concentration wherein the initial mean removal efficiency for TSS is 87%, while an approximate mean removal efficiency of 76%, 46% and 56% was observed in terms of organics, nutrients and heavy metal, respectively. With these findings, the research helps in the further improvement, innovation and optimization of rain garden systems and other facilities as well.

Highland fields are concentrated in the Jaun area of Hongcheong-gun, a large amount of sediments are discharged from the highland fields. The sediment runoff affect the turbidity and water quality of the Soyang Lake, furthermore adversely affect water supply source of the capital region. There are several kinds of BMPs(Best management practices) to decrease the sedimentrunoff from the highland fields. Although construction cost of multistage sedimentation basins is very high, there is no actual survey data for the removal efficiency of suspended sediments and water quality in our country. In this study, stormwaterinflow and outflow of the multistage sedimentation basins were surveyed, and the removal efficiency of nonpoint source pollutants were analyzed. The stormwater survey results fortwo rainfall events show thatremoval efficiencies of SS, BOD and TP loads in the multistage sedimentation basins are 35%~62%, 24%~55%, 35%~58%, respectively. Although the measured efficiencies of the basins were lower than the theoretical efficiency, the proper operation and management can improve the removal rate of the basins. Turbid water problem in the upper parts of the Soyang River can be managed effectively through the additional installation of multistage sedimentation basins.

Diverse and comprehensive countermeasures were established to prevent water pollution in coastal areas such as constructed wetlands(CW).This study was conducted to assess the water quality improvement through CW constructed along the shoreline of Hwaseong coastal reservoir. The CW is located in Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do and consisted of a forebay and a wetland. The CW was monitored twice during rainy days and 10 times during dry days. The monitoring results indicated that in and out flowrates were highly correlated with COD and TN loads. COD, TN and TP concentrations in the forebay was lower during dry days than rainy days. However, concentration and mass removal efficiencies of COD, TN and TP were greater during rainy days. In addition, the volume flowing into the CW was less compared to the outflow during rainy days indicating that the CW efficiently reduced the runoff volume. The overall pollutant removal efficiency of the CW were at least 50% for TSS, 20 to 35% for TP, and 26 to 94% for TN. The data gathered may be used to improve the pollutant removal efficiency of the system in the future.
