This study was conducted to clarify the preference and habitat condition of small mammals at the Hyeongsan river in Ulsan, Gyeongju, and Pohang from January 2003 to July 2003. In the study sites, total 111 individuals of Apodemus agrarius, Rattus norvegicus, and Micromys minutus were captured in study sites. The most abundant species were Apodemus agrarius, 79.2 percent, among the captured small mammals. Density of habitation was significantly higher in agricultural land than in either private house or woods. However, they were more abundant in paddy Weld area than in agricultural land. A number of captured small mammals were higher in herbaceous rather than three other vegetation types. Existent of river embankment and its type were important factors affecting the spatial distribution of the individuals. Preference of small mammals were significantly lower in revetment block area rather than in none or nature-stone mat area. There was significantly correlationship between the depth of water and the number of captured small mammals. A number of captured small mammals were clearly increased in reference to decreasing depth of water in study site, in conclusion, the following factors such as the vegetation structure, depth of water, types of land use and types of river dike could be affected the spatial distribution of small mammals in the study sites.

The aims of this study were to investigate and confirm the occurrence and distribution patterns of synthetic musk compounds (SMCs) in Nakdong river basin (mainstream and its tributaries). 4 (HHCB, AHTN, AHMI and ADBI) out of 6 polycyclic musk compounds (PMCs) and 1 (musk xylene, MX) out of 5 nitro musk compounds (NMCs) were detected in 29 sampling sites and HHCB (>50%) was predominant compound followed by musk ketone (MK) and AHTN. The total concentration levels of SMCs on February 2009 and on September 2009 in surface water samples ranged from N.D. to 2147 ng/L and N.D. to 1386 ng/L, respectively. The highest concentration level of SMCs in the mainstream and tributaries in Nakdong river were Goryeong and Jincheon-cheon, respectively. The sewage treatment plants (STPs) along the river affect the SMCs levels in river and the SMCs levels decreased with downstream because of dilution effects.

This study estimates adequate discharge to meet the specified target water quality concentration using the pollutant load of the Geum river basin given in TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) report. During the 1st phase, BOD is chosen as a target water quality constituent under regulation of the Ministry of Environment in Korea. BOD, TN, and TP loads estimated based on the TMDL and provincial zones were re-distributed for 10 major tributaries, and the remaining areas along the main river are classified as 15 incremental flow areas. Water quality modeling was conducted using Qual2E for the low flow period of a year (i.e. $March{\sim}April$). The results of the model simulation showed that about 30 cms from the Daechung dam would be sufficient to satisfy the target water quality in the Geum river downstream of the Daechung multipurpose Dam.

삽교천 수계에 위치하고 있는 지점들은 유역면적이 작은 지점들과 삽교천 갑문의 영향에 의한 배수영향을 받는 지점들로 인하여 수문관측에 어려움이 많아 수위-유량관계곡선개발이 매우 어려운 지점들이다. 따라서 2007년 유량측정성과들을 이용하여 보다 정확한 수위-유량관계곡선개발을 하기 위해서 각 지점별 유량측정성과의 기준측선수, 최대구간유량비, 불확실도 분석 등을 통해 유량측정성과를 분석하였으며, 연유출률 분석, 상 하류 유량 비교, 평 저수시 동시유량 검토, 수위-유량관계곡선 불확실도 분석으로 수위-유량관계곡선의 신뢰도를 검토하였다. 금회 삽교천 수계에서 유량측정된 지점은 수촌, 원평, 매곡, 온천, 충무교 지점이며, 충무교 지점을 제외한 4개 지점은 2007년 수위자료를 이용하였고, 충무교 지점은 충무교 지점 하류의 보 영향으로 계기수위 0.855m(GZF)이상의 수위를 보이는 기간인 7월 19일$\sim$10월 24일까지 기간의 수위자료를 이용하여 순 유출률을 산정하였다. 각 지점별로 순 유출률을 보면 수촌 64.4%, 원평 44.1%, 매곡 56.3%, 온천 56.1%, 충무교 88.2%로 산정되었으며, 대체적으로 적절한 연 유출률을 보이고 있다. 본 연구에서 수행한 삽교천 수계 5개 지점의 측정성과를 이용한 유출특성 분석 결과, 기존의 성과에 비하여 좋은 결과를 얻은 것으로 판단되지만, 본 연구에서 수행한 유량측정에서도 많은 문제점이 발생하였기 때문에 이런 경험과 기술들을 지속적으로 축적한다면 향후 더 정밀한 유량측정성과를 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 효과적인 치수 및 이수계획의 수립 등 수자원 개발에 가장 기초가 되는 정확한 수문분석 자료의 확보를 위한 기반을 마련할 수 있을 것이다.

CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE which are ozone destruction substances are not used any more in the advanced countries because of Montreal protocol. MC and TCE are now used restrictively at small part of industrial fields in most of countries since they are known to be hazardous or carcinogenic materials. Thus, it is indispensible that the alternative cleaning agents which are environmental-friendly and safe, and show good cleaning ability should be developed or utilized for replacement of the halogenated cleaning agents. Aqueous cleaning agents are evaluated to be promising alternative ones among various alternatives in environmental and economical view point. This study has been carried out as a part of development program of aqueous cleaning agent. First of all, several types of surfactants which are the most important component in aqueous cleaning agents were chosen, and the physical properties, foaming ability, cleaning ability and oil-water separation efficiency of their aqueous solutions were measured and compared for selection of proper type of surfactant in aqueous cleaning agents.

충남 서부 활석광산 주변의 수계에 대한 원소 함량특성에 대해 알아보고자 대흥 및 광천광산에 대해 수질 및 하상 퇴적물 시료와 함께 광산 주변 토양 및 모암 시료를 채취, 비교하였다. 대흥지역 퇴적물은 대부분 원소에서 SP가 GN에 비해 높았는데 이는 퇴적물 내 유색 및 무색광물 함량 차이로 판단된다. 절대 함량 비교에서 광물 결정구조 내 쉽게 Mg와 치환하는 원소는 낮은비율을, Fe와 치환하는 원소는 높은 비율을 보였는데 이는 퇴적물 내 주 구성광물내 원소 치환특성을 반영하기 때문으로 판단된다. 절대 함량의 감소 순서와 타원소들과 높은 상관관계(>0.85)의 빈도를 보이는 원소들 사이의 차이는 퇴적물 화학조성에 이차광물과 비정질 광물등의 조성도 반영되었음을 암시한다. 대흥지역 지표수는 대부분 원소에서 MSP가 SP와 GN의 중간값을, MSG는 LGN과 MSP의 중간값을 조여 수계의 혼합특성을반영하는 것으로 판단된다. 절대 함량관계에서는 SP는 GW1과 유사했고, GN은 LGN과 유사했으며, 절대함량은(Mg, Fe), (As, Sc), (Mo, V, Se) 순서로 낮아졌다. 광천지역은 갱내수가 천부 지하수에 비해 대부분 원소에서 높은 함량을 보였는데, 이는 갱내수가 더욱더 많은 물-암석반응을 거친 때문으로 판단된다. 절대 함량은 Mg, Br, Fe, (Sc, Cr), (An, Ni, V)순서로 감소하였다. 갱냉수의 지역간 원소 함량 차이는 사문암화가 우세한 광천지역과 활석화가 우세한 대흥지역 모암들 사이의물-암석 상화반응의 차이를 보여주는 것으로 판단된다 두 지역의 상부 토양 및 모암 조성에서 SP가 GN에 비해 높은 Mg 비, Ni, Cr, Co 등 함량을 보였는데, 이는 사문암 지역 내 Mg, Ni, Cr 등이 풍부한 광물들 탓으로 판단된다. 퇴적물과 수질 사이에서는 함량 경향을 뚜렷하지 않았고 원소에 따라 서로 다른 힘량 차이를 보였는데, 이는 퇴적물 원소 함량이 수계 조성을 반영하는 것이 아님을 나타낸다. 상부-토양-암석-수계의 조성관계에서 대흥지역 지표수 중 SP 조성이, 광천지역은 갱냉수가 지하수의 조성에 가까웠다.

This paper defines the prototype of the geographic-object field that links the geographic-object and the geographic-field using an object-oriented geographic information system, and then implements the flood simulation in the saemangeum water resources management system that manipulates the water quantity of saemangeum lake and the height of gate using the watershed-object field. This paper combines the natural phenomena with the artificial phenomena that occurs on the water resources of the saemangeum, and designs the object oriented class hierarchy that is composed of the total watershed-object field, and then presents the algorithm for flood control. To visualize the class hierarchy of the whole geographic-object field and the partial geographic-object field, I use the UML(Unified Modeling Language). Attributes and methods of each class can acquire the functional reusability and compatibility using the COM of the ZEUS and the Visual Basic 6.0 of Win32 APIs. By means of implementing the flood simulation in the Saemangeum water resources management system, finally, this paper contributes on the efficient management of water resources.

Since the development of water resources is getting more difficult than ever before because of human-sociological condition, it would be necessary to develop a practically applicable technique for the management of water resources based on demand-side concept that could reduce unusable release for more effective and appropriate allocation of limited water resources. The objective of the study is to develop an optimal reservoir system operation model for water supply and energy augmentation by the combination of water budget analysis method in downstream area by MIP technique. The applicable study of the developed model was carried out and water supply capability of Nakdong river basin was re-evaluated by the developed model. The model has been found successful to guarantee appropriate water supply to the basin by means of deficit-supply management method and also turned out to be more practical tool for an optimal reservoir system operation model than other existing models.
