The Nakdong river is both a natural resource crucial to underwater ecosystems and a water source for its basin's residents. Industrial wastewater and domestic sewage must meet the relevant standards for discharged water before they can flow into the river. The correlation between old and new measures of organic matter was examined using water quality data from 50 monitoring locations in the main stream of the Nakdong river. The coefficient of determination (R²) for total organic carbon (TOC), the new measure of organic matter, and chemical oxygen demand (COD), the old measure of organic matter, in the main stream of the Nakdong river was 0.6134, indicating high correlation. Water quality at each location assessed using TOC and COD showed disparities that cannot be ignored: quality appeared higher when evaluating the main stream of the Nakdong river using TOC instead of COD. Therefore, there remains a need to review water quality ratings based on TOC; continuous monitoring of COD is also required. In addition, the cause of the difference should be clearly identified to help assess artificial sources of pollution and natural factors affecting organic matter. Water management of the Nakdong river will then be possible using the water quality rating.

도시에서 배출되는 오수나 우수를 모아서 하수처리장 또는 방류수역까지 유하시키는 역할을 하는 관거시설은 하수도 시설의 근간으로서 일반주민의 일상생활과 밀접한 관계가 있기 때문에 시설의 실태를 충분히 파악하여 적절한 유지관리를 시행하지 않으면 안된다. 그러나 지금까지 하수관거에 대한 인식부족으로 인하여 유지관리는 물론 현 실태 또한 제대로 인식 되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 인천지역의 승기천 유역을 대상으로 I/I분석 및 예측, 이에 따른 오염 저감 방안을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 승기천 유역 내 주요지점에 대한 관거 I/I 및 하수의 누수량을 조사하기 위하여 고정식 4개 지점(풍림지점, 우성지점, 동막지점, 성주지점)에 대해 하수처리장의 유입수량 및 수질의 영향을 파악하고 해당지역의 관거 문제점을 도출하여 정비방향을 모색하고, 사업시행에 따른 효과분석에 활용하며 성과분석 목표를 수립하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하는데 연구 목적이 있다.

댐으로 인한 인공호수는 주위의 지역사회는 물론 타지역으로부터의 친수공간으로 활용될 수 있는 충분한 여건을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 여러 가지 법적인 규제로 인해 극히 제한적으로 활용되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 댐 호소의 관광자원화를 통한 친수공간의 확보와 국민복지증대 및 지역사회의 경제발전을 함께 도모할 수 있는 방안을 모색하였다. 만약 댐 호소에 대한 규제완화가 환경적인 영향이 크지 않고 경제적인 가치가 크다면 현 제도의 개선은 국민후생의 증대효과와 비점오염원의 관리를 통해 수질개선효과에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 제시하였다.

국가 수자원 중 농업용수 사용비율은 약 41%에 해당하며, 통합물관리측면에서 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 국가 수자원 전체 이용량 372억m³ 중에서 농업용수가 40.9%인 152억m³로 가장 많고, 환경용수 121억m³(32.5%), 생활용수 76억m³(20.4%), 공업용수 23억m³(6.2%)등으로 추산된다. 국가 수자원관리의 중요성이 커짐에 따라 수량 및 수질관리를 환경부로 일원화하여 관리하며, 농업용수의 유역단위 물관리의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 농업용수는 대부분 벼농사에 소비되고 있으며, 관개용수는 증발산량, 침투량, 자연 및 인위적인 배수량으로 소비된다. 회귀수량은 관개를 통해 농경지에 공급된 용수 중 작물에 의해 소모되지 않고 하천으로 유입되는 수량을 의미하며, 신속회귀수량(quick return flow)과 지연회귀수량(delayed return flow)으로 구분할 수 있다. 수자원장기종합계획에서는 35%가 하천으로 회귀되는 것으로 가정하고 있지만, 선행연구 결과에 의하면 국내 농업용수 회귀율은 기상상태, 작물재배품종, 재배형태, 용배수로 구조 등 여러 가지 요인으로 인하여 약 32 ~ 86%의 다양한 범위로 큰 차이가 나타난다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 회귀수량 산정방법의 취약점을 보완하여, 수문모델링을 통한 유역단위 차원의 회귀수량 산정방안을 제시함으로써, 하천유지유량 관리 개선방안을 모색하고자 한다.

The Section 12 of Groundwater Law stipulates that groundwater conservation zone should be regulated by the designation of conservation area and development restricted area, The most important policy for groundwater conservation and protection is to estimate and designate groundwater conservation zone. The groundwater classification map is utilized to determine the prime groundwater conservation areas, which delineate the first and the second ranked conservation areas of the map. According to the classification method of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation in 2000, groundwater quality for groundwater classification is classified with 4 levels based on the following conditions : (1) the present groundwater quality; (2) the potential usage as drinking water at present and in the future; (3) hydrogeological characteristics, and (4) the existence of pollution sources and activities. Throughout the initial analysis, the groundwater conservation areas are represented about 57.1$\textrm{km}^2$ in the groundwater classification map, which is 9.4% of Seoul Metropolitan Area. The management guidelines for groundwater conservation area are also developed referring to Cheju Province Groundwater Conservation Management Project and the guidelines by the Ministry of Construction and Transportation. But the specific administration and detailed technical survey should be prepared to efficiently manage the groundwater conservation area.

Nepal is a landlocked mountainous country in South Asia, located between China to the north and India to the south, east, and west. As such, wastewater management has become one of the most significant problems in urban area of Nepal. In Nepal, the centralized wastewater treatment systems were dysfunctional due to high cost of operation, discontinuous power supply, lack of proper maintenance and proper technical workforce to address the issues. As such, constructed wetlands (CW) were applied to treat various secondary wastewater as alternative to wastewater treatment facilities. Generally, efficiency and sustainability of CW technology depends on proper operation and maintenance and active community involvement. This study summarizes information about 26 CW in Nepal. Specifically, factors including data banking, removal efficiency, quality of discharged water, compliance to water quality standard of Nepal and operation and maintenance were investigated. Considering removal efficiency per pollutant, Ka-1 achieved the greatest reduction for most pollutant followed by B-1, L-3, Ka-5 and K-1. Nepal has practiced CW technology for more than 2 decades but currently, development of technology was interrupted by the inefficient performance of existing facilities. Public awareness about the technology, natural disaster, unavailability of specified substrate materials, lack of fund for further research and experiments has hindered the expansion of technology. In spite of these concerns, CW was still proven as an alternative solution to the present wastewater problems in urban areas of Nepal.

The interest of the people in the radioactive contamination of the water has increased significantly and the study about analysis and management of radioactive materials are being actively conducted. And monitoring spots have been expanded to the range of public water as well as drinking water by publishing the rule of drinking water quality standards and examination in the Environmental Enforcement Ordinance No. 553 of Korea. In this study, US EPA was investigated as the foreign advanced cases and the way that is appropriate for the Korea was sought by analyzing investigate radionuclide, interval and management. As a result, in the selection part of investigate radionuclide, geological survey, status of nuclear power plants and the presence of the use of artificial radionuclides of the Korea should be investigated and additionally after the selection of a few radionuclides, the systems should be extended to cover all possible radionuclides by considering radioactive pollution levels in humans may be exposed due to the annual drinking water. In the part of the investigate interval, the concept(MCL, DL) should be set up for preventing concentration detection of above MCL and it needs to the maintenance and management. For example, when the concentration is more than MCL, it should be investigated on a quarterly and when the concentration is lower than MCL, it should be investigated to each different interval and management. And the US EPA divided the management area and make the roadmap for managing drinking water. The each classified area has been organized to match the state budget and labor force and the individual data have been managed effectively by HPGe, the NaI, TLD and so on.

The conflict between upstream and downstream regions is a representative social conflict in Korea. It is important issues in the economic and environmental aspects related to interests of property rights and water quality conservation. however, it is insufficient for studies on the economic damage and benefits between upstream and downstream by policy. We studied validity for drinking water protect zone, one of the major water conflict in Korea, by comparison between social loss by property rights restriction in the upstream and social benefits in the downstream and we proposed integrated water management policy in basin level.
