In this study, rainwater-greywater hybrid system was installed and operated for 1 year in order to evaluate its water quantity, water quality, and economic efficiency in building no. 39. This system was expected to overcome each disadvantages of and maximize each advantages. Low-greywater that was washed up from shower room was treated by MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) and ozone oxidation. Rainwater that was collected from the rooftop was stored in a reservoir, and then transferred to the storage tank that was mixed with treated greywater. After 1 year operating in building no. 39, rainwater and greywater was used to supply $2,599m^3$ of toilet flushing water. In terms of water quality, rainwater was satisfied far the greywater reuse standards except for E.coli. Moreover, low greywater quality was acceptable except for E. coli, BOD, SS, and turbidity. In addition, economic analysis was obtained from benefit-cost ratio (B/C) with 1.11. It implies that the feasibility of the project was reasonable. Furthermore, various research and policy to improve the economic efficiency of water recycling facilities is required to expand the use of water recycling facilities.

The chemical compositions of groundwaters from the granite areas mainly belong to Ca-HC0$_{3}$ and Na-HC0$_{3}$type, and some of these belong to Ca-(CI+S0$_{4}$) and Na-(CI+S0$_{4}$) type. Spring waters and groundwaters from anorthosite areas belong to Ca-HC03 and Na-HC03 type, respectively. The result of reaction path modeling shows that the chemical compositions of aqueous solution reacted with granite evolve from initial Ca-CI type, via CaHC0$_{3}$ type, to Na-HC0$_{3}$ type. The result of rain water-anorthosite interaction is similar to evolution path of granite reaction and both of these results agree well with the field data. In the reaction path modeling of rain watergranite/anorthosite reaction, as a reaction is progressing, the activity of hydrogen ion decreases (pH increases). The concentrations of cations are controlled by the dissolution of rock-forming minerals and precipitation and re-dissolution of secondary minerals according to the pH. The continuous addition of granite causes the formation of secondary minerals in the following sequence; gibbsite plus hematite, Mn-oxide, kaolinite, silica, chlorite, muscovite (a proxy for illite here), calcite, laumontite, prehnite, and finally analcime. In the anorthosite reaction, the order of precipitation of secondary minerals is the same as with granite reaction except that there is no silica precipitation and paragonite precipitates instead of analcime. The silica and kaolinite are predominant minerals in the granite and anorthosite reactions, respectively. Total quantities of secondary minerals in the anorthosite reaction are more abundant than those in the granite reaction.

This study was carried out to investigate the chemical properties of rainwater in Taean area. The rainwater way collected for six months from May to Octotber in 1998, and analyzed its chemical composition. The ion balance and electric conductivity balance showed confidence to chemical analyses of rainwater. Distribution rates of pH of rainwater in Taean area were 43% and 38% in the range of pH $4.5{\sim}5.0$ and $5.0{\sim}5.6$, respectively. Among the 1mm fraction for initial 5mm of rainfall, ion concentration of initial rainwater (less than 1mm of rain) was higher than those of the later terms. The major ions in rainwater were $NH_4\;^+$ and $Ca_2\;^+$ for cations, and $SO_4\;^{2-}$ and $NO_3\;^-$ for anions. The pH value of rainwater showed the lowest level of 4.3 in August. The ratio of non-sea salt $SO_4\;^{2-}$ to $NO_3\;^-$ was 2.4.

충청북도 청주시 상당구 월오동 251-7번지와 251-15번지 2곳에 각각 50m³ 규모의 빗물저류조를 대상으로 2017년 7월 16일 호우사상을 적용하여 설치 전·후의 침수저감 효과를 분석하였다. 침수분석을 위해 지형자료는 국토정보플랫폼에 있는 1:25,000 자료를 활용하였으며, 모의 전 대상지역의 관망구축에 따른 지형자료를 구축하였고 관망은 노드 40개와 링크 39개로 구성하였다. SWMM 모형을 구동하여 유역내 유출량을 분석하기 위해 유역과 관련한 입력자료와 이외 유역간의 연결부인 관거 하도 입력자료 구축 및 하도와 하도를 연결하는 모델상의 Junction인 실제 맨홀과 관련한 입력자료를 구축하였다. 관거 입력자료로는 관거의 제원, 길이, 깊이 등의 자료를 수집하여 사용하였다. 빗물저류조 설치전·후의 침수저감효과를 분석하기 위해 빗물저류조 설치전의 침수양상을 모의 하였으며 각각 강우발생 후 30분, 50분, 70분, 90분, 110분, 130분 및 150분으로 구분하여 분석하였다. 강우발생 후 150분의 모의분석 결과, 침수심은 0.2<깊이<0.4의 면적이 600m²로 가장 넓은 침수분포를 나타내었으며, 총 침수면적은 2,225m²로 모의되었다. 이는 강우발생 후130분 보다 125m² 더 침수되었으며, 0.8<깊이<1.0의 면적은 150m²로 모의되었다. 전체적인 침수심도 커진 것으로 분석되었다. 빗물저류조 설치 후의 침수양상을 모의하였으며 각각 강우발생 후 30분, 50분, 70분, 90분, 110분, 130분 및 150분으로 분석하였다. 강우발생 후 150분의 모의분석 결과, 침수심은 0.2<깊이<0.4의 면적이 250m²로 가장 많은 침수분포가 나타났으며, 총 침수면적은 550m²으로 모의 되었다. 이는 강우발생 후 110분과 침수면적은 동일하게 모의 되었으며, 침수심 0.2<깊이<0.4의 면적은 250m²로 모의 되었다. 따라서 해당 지역에 50m³ 규모의 빗물저류조 2개를설치 할 경우 침수피해가 저감되는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석 결과를 바탕으로 향후 도시내 상습침수구역에 빗물저류조를 설치하여 기후변화에 따른 극한 강우에 대비할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

본 연구는 호우(heavy rain) 발생 시 대기 중 미세먼지(particulate matter, PM) 저감효과를 규명하고 강우 지속에 따른 빗물 수질(pH, 전기전도도(electrical conductivity, EC), 수용성 이온) 분석을 통해 대기 중 PM이 빗물 수질에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 2020년 3월부터 2021년 2월까지강우 강도(7.5 mm/h)를 기준으로 총 6회의 강우를 대상으로 하였으며 빗물 샘플은 집수장치를 통해 50 mL를 연속적으로 수집하여 수질을 분석하였다. 대기 중 PM_2.5 (≤ 2.5 ㎛ in diameter) 및 PM₁₀ (≤ 10 ㎛ in diameter) 농도는 기상청 내 부산 남구 대연동 관측소의 automatic weather system (AWS)에서 측정된 일평균 자료를 이용하였다. 강우에 따른 대기 중 PM의 저감효율은 상대적으로 PM₁₀에서 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 특히 강우 강도 7.5 mm/h 이상(유형 1)의 호우 발생 시60% 이상의 저감효율을 보였다. 반면, 강우 강도 7.5 mm/h 이하(유형 2)일 때는 10% 이하의 저감효율을 보였으며, 강우 지속에 따라 대기 중 PM₁₀ 농도가 증가하는 경향을 보이기도 하였다. 총108개의 빗물 샘플 수질을 분석한 결과, 유형 1의 경우 초기 빗물의 평균 EC는 58.5 µS/cm으로 상대적으로 높았으며 대기 중 PM₁₀과 양의 상관관계(r = 0.99)를 보였고 평균 pH는 4.3으로 산성도가 높게 나타났으며 대기 중 PM₁₀과 음의 상관관계(r = -0.99)를 보였다. 반면, 유형 2의 경우 대기 중 PM₁₀과 EC (r = -0.56) 및 pH (r = -0.41) 간 뚜렷한 상관관계가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 강우가 지속됨에 따라 EC와 수용성 양이온(Na⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, NH₄⁺) 및 음이온(Cl^-, NO₃^-, SO₄^2-)의 농도는 지속적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 pH의 경우 강우 강도에 따라 증감의 경향이 다르게 나타났다. 유형 1의 경우 강우 지속에 따라 pH가 증가하여 산성도가 낮아졌으나 유형 2는 pH의 증감 형태를 뚜렷하게 확인하기 어려웠다. 연구 결과를 통해 강우 초기 높은 강도로 강우가 지속될 경우 대기 중 PM₁₀이 빗물 수질에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 판단되며, 이에 따라 호우 발생 시 강우가 대기 중 오염물질을 지표면으로 유입시킬 수 있는 매개체로 작용할 수 있음을 지시한다.

Prevalent construction of impermeable pavements in urban areas causes diverse water-related environmental issues, such as lowering ground water levels and shortage of water supply for the living. In order to resolve such problems, a rainwater reservoir can be an effective and useful solution. The rainwater reservoir facilitates the hydrologic cycle in urban areas by temporarily retaining precipitation-runoff within a shallow subsurface layer for later use in a dry season. However, in order to use the stored water of precipitation-runoff, non-point source pollutants mostly retained in initial rainfall should be removed before being stored in the reservoir. Therefore, the purification system to filter out the non-point source pollutants is essential for the rainwater reservoir. The conventional soil filtration technology is well known to be able to capture non-point source pollutants in a economical and efficient way. This study adopted a sand filter layer (SFL) as a non-point source pollutant removal system in the rainwater reservoir, and conducted a series of lab-scale chamber tests and field tests to evaluate the pollutant removal efficiency and applicability of SFL. During the laboratory chamber experiments, three types of SFL with the different grain size characteristics were compared in the chamber with a dimension of $20cm{\times}30cm{\times}60cm$. To evaluate performance of the reservoir systems, the concentration of the polluted water in terms of TSS (Total Suspended Solids) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) were measured and compared. In addition, a reduction in hydraulic conductivity of SFL due to pollutant clogging was indirectly estimated. The optimum SFL selected through the laboratory chamber experiments was verified on the in-situ rainwater reservoir for field applicability.

Monitoring the urban environmental changes caused by the urban regeneration project is necessary for evaluating the effect of the various types of urban regeneration projects that have been carried out in Seoul, South Korea. However, there is few available data and professional expert for evaluating the effect of these urban regeneration projects. This research evaluated the effect of the construction of rainwater village in Jangwi-dong area, constructed through the Seoul urban regeneration project, by utilizing the land surface temperatures derived from the multi-temporal Landsat-8 satellite images through the following steps. In the first step, the land surface temperature images were generated using the multispectral bands of the Landsat-8 satellite images. In the final step, the effect of constructing the rainwater villages was assessed by calculating the seasonal LST statistics for Jangwi-dong area, its neighbor area and entire Seoul area. The experimental results led the following conclusion: the construction of rainwater villages did not have the significant effect on the land surface temperature changes in Jangwi-dong area.

The interception capabilities of storm water grate inlet were analyzed in this paper. The hydraulic model lot gutter flow was used to estimate the interception capability. With the consideration of width and length of road, gutter discharges were ranged of 4-15l/sec. The transverse slopes of gutter were selected 4, 7 and 10%. The longitudinal slopes were 0, 2, 5 and 7%. The four sizes of storm water grate inlet were used in this experiments ($30\times40cm,\;40\times50cm,\;40\times100cm,\;40\times150cm$). The total number of experimental cases were 240. As the transverse slopes of gutter increased, the interception capability also increased. As the flow width in gutter and the discharge were lower, the interception efficiencies increased and the longitudinal slopes of road increased, the interception efficiencies decreased. The empirical formula with the factors of total inflow discharge, the longitudinal slope and the transverse slope of gutter were derived. These equations could be used to estimate the intercepting discharge of grate inlet. The reasonable construction space of grate inlet for the road widths, the longitudinal slopes, the transverse slopes and the grate inlet sizes were suggested.
