The uranium removal efficiency of rhizofiltration was investigated in lab scale experiment. Three plants such as sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris var.), and Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) were cultivated in artificially contaminated solution by uranium at 30 ${\mu}g$/L and 80 ${\mu}g$/L for 72 hours. The removal efficiencies of three cultivars were calculated from the ICP/MS analysis of uranium mass in solution and the plant. For Helianthus annuus L., more than 80% of initial uranium were removed from the solution and the uranium concentration of residual solution maintained lower than 10 ${\mu}g$/L. For Phaseolus vulgaris var. and Brassica juncea (L.) Czern., their uranium removal efficiencies ranged from 60 to 80%. Even the uranium concentration of solution was higher than 500 ${\mu}g$/L, these cultivars removed more than 70% of initial uranium by rhizofiltration, suggesting that the rhizofiltration has a great capability to remove uranium in the contaminated groundwater. The removal efficiency of rhizofiltration by using Brassica juncea (L.) Czern decreased from 83% to 42% with the increase of pH in solution. From the results of the analysis for the uranium accumulation in plants, 99% of uranium transferred into the plant from solution were accumulated in the root and only 1% of uranium existed in the shoot part (including leaves), suggesting that the cost and the time to treat massive grown plants after the rhizofiltration could be dramatically cut down because only their root parts needs to be treated. Finally, the genuine groundwater having high uranium concentration (81.4 ${\mu}g$/L), sampled from Daejoun area, was used in the experiment. The uranium removal efficiency of Helianthus annuus L. for the real groundwater was higher than 95%, investigating that the rhizofiltration is the very useful method to remediate uranium contaminated groundwater.

Objectives of this experiment were to select of the optimum water plant and to investigate the removal efficiency of the major nutrients in the constructed wetland by natural purification method for municipal sewage treatment in the farming and fishing village. For the experiment we used "constructed wetland" which was consisted of aerobic (vertical filter system) and anaerobic systems (horizontal filter system). Both systems were filled with gravel and filter media, and grew water plants on top of them. And then, we investigated several items such as sewage treatment efficiency, growth status of water plants and the absorbed amount of inorganic element in water plants with periodical periods. In aerobic area, removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, T-N and T-P were over 92%, 74%, 25% and 57%, respectively, and then when the water is passed through anaerobic area, the efficiency was over 96%, 84%, 44% and 71%, respectively, which was increased more treatment efficiency than that of aerobic area. Absorption amount of nitrogen and phosphorous in Miscanthus sacchariflorus BENTH were the highest in the water plants as 17.7 and 2.41 g/plant in the aerobic area, respectively. Absorption amounts of nitrogen and phosphorous in Scirpus tabernaemontani GMEL were the highest in the water plants as 8.7 and 1.13 g/plant in the anaerobic area, respectively. For the selection of optimum water plants in the constructed wetland by natural purification method for municipal sewage treatment, it were observed that there were Miscanthus sacchariflorus BENTH, Phragmites japonica STEUD and Phragmites communis TRINIUS in the aerobic area and were Zizania latifolia TURCZ, Scirpus tabernaemontani GMEL, Typha orientalis PRESL, Iris pseudoacorus L and Cares dispalata BOOTT in the anaerobic area.

담수 생물종 시식역의 보전을 위해 하천 연결성 유지와 회복이 중요하지만, 하천관리에 있어 이를 고려하기 위한 기초자료나 관련 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 특히 인공장벽(artificial barrier) 영향에 대한 대부분의 연구는 어류이동에 초점을 두고 있거나, 그 공간적 범위를 제한하는 경향이 있다. 본 연구는 강과 하천을 연속체 개념으로 접근하여 생태학적 과정을 방해할 수 있는 모든 인위적 구조물을 인공장벽으로 간주하고, 댐과 저수지, 보와 같이 하천의 종적 연결성을 저해하는 3개 유형의 인공 구조물에 대해 공간자료를 구축하였다. 수치지형도로부터 하천중심선과 수리시설물(보), 호소 및 저수지 경계를 교차(intersection) 분석하여 유형별 구조물의 위치 정보를 추출하고, 기존 자료와의 비교·검증을 통해 자료의 신뢰성을 도모하였다. 인공장벽에 대한 공간자료는 구조물의 유형에 따라 국가하천과 지방하천, 소하천으로 구분하고 낙동강 대권역 내 총 195개 표준유역에 대해 밀도(barrier density)를 계산하였는데, 여기서의 밀도는 하천 연장에 대한 총 인공장벽의 수로 정의(barriers/km)된다. 본 연구의 주요 결과는 낙동강 유역 내 인공 장벽의 밀도와 유형, 하천별 공간분포에 대한 정량적 평가를 포함하고 있으며, 이를 기반으로 수생태계 연결성 회복을 위한 하천관리방안을 모색하고자 하였다. 분석 방법과 결과 등 자세한 내용은 발표를 통해 제시될 예정이다.
