The purpose of this study was to develop a Multi-metric Water Quality Assessment (MWQA) model and apply it to dataset sampled from Paldang and Daechung reservoir in 2008. The various water dataset used to this study included 5 year data sets (2003${\sim}$2007) in Korean reservoirs which were obtained from the Ministry of Environment, Korea. In this study, suggested MWQA model has 4 metrics that were composed of 4 parameters such as chemical, physical, biological, and hydrological variables. And, each of the variables attributed total phosphorus (TP) concentration in water, secchi depth (SD) measure in water, chlorophyll-${\alpha}$(Chl-${\alpha}$) concentration in water and the ratio of inflow of water into lakes and efflux of water from lakes, input/output (I/O). First, we established the criteria for trophic boundaries. The boundary between oligotrophic and mesotrophic categories was defined by the lower third of the cumulative distribution of the values. The mesotrophic-eutrophic boundary was defined by the upper third of the distribution. Second, each metric was given by a point-oligo=1, meso=3, eu=5. And then, obtained total score from each metric was divided 5 grade-Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, and Very poor. As the results of applying the proposed MWQA model, the Paldang reservoir obtained "Fair" or "Poor" grade and Daechung reservoir obtained "Excellent" or "Good" grade. The suggested MWQA model through these procedures will enable to manage efficiently the reservoir. And, more studies such as metric numbers and attributes should be done for the accurate application of the new model.

안동호는 상류지역의 휴·폐광산과 비점오염원으로부터 발생하는 각종 오염물질이 유입되고 있어, 호소 부영양화에 대한 문제가 계속 제기되고 있다. 이러한 안동호의 수환경은 댐 하류 유역과 같은 수계의 임하호의 수환경에도 영향을 미치기 때문에, 안동호 수질 및 수생태 건강성 평가가 계속 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWAT-WET(Soil ad Water Assessment Tool-Water Ecosystems Tool)을 이용하여, 안동호의 수질 및 수생태 건강성을 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 안동댐 유역(1,584 km²)을 대상으로 SWAT 모형을 구축하였으며(2010~2019년), 댐의 운영을 고려하여 도산 관측소(안동댐 유입지점)와 안동1 관측소(안동댐 하류지점)의 실측 유량 및 수질(SS, T-N, T-P)에 대한 검보정을 수행하였다. SWAT 검보정 결과, 유유출량의 R², NSE(Nash sutcliffe efficiency)는 각각 0.76, 0.74 이상, SS, T-N, T-P의 R²는 각각 0.71, 0.81, 0.62 이상으로 분석되어 적용성을 확인하였다. 그리고 검보정한 SWAT의 유출량 및 수질 결과를 1차원 수생태계 모델인 WET에서 안동호의 유입자료로 적용하여, 안동호의 수심에 따른 수온, 수질, 저서동물 등의 수환경 결과를 모의할 예정이다. SWAT-WET 모의 결과는 수온, 수질, 저서동물 관측값과 비교하여 SWAT-WET 모델의 적용성을 평가하고, 안동댐의 상류 유출 특성 변화에 따른 안동호의 수질 및 수생태 건강성을 평가할 예정이다.

In this study, water pollution sources of 14 major tributaries of Han river and characteristics of water quality for each target streams were evaluated based on water quality data in 2007.1-2009.12 (14 data sets) using a statistical package, SPSS-17.0. Cluster analysis over time and space for each stream resulted in 4 groups for the spatial variations in which type and density of pollution sources in the basins showed the greatest impact on grouping. Moreover, cluster analysis for the time variation in which rainfall, temperature and eutrophication were shown to contribute to the clustering, produced 2 groups, from summer to fall (July-Oct.) and from winter to early summer (Nov.-June). Four factors were found as responsible for the data structure explaining 71-90% of the total variance of the data set depending on the streams and they were organic matter, nutrients, bacterial contamination. Factor analysis showed main factors (water pollutants) changed according to the season with different pattern for each stream. This study demonstrated that water quality of each stream could produce useful outcomes when factor and pollution source of basin were evaluated together.

The aim of this study is to examine the characteristics analysis of the discharge and water quality based on TPLMS (Total Pollution Load Management System) in the Jinwi River unit basin, and to propose a management plan by selecting the point that needs improvement of water quality in order to achieve the target water quality. We evaluated the discharge and water quality characteristics, statistical analysis, daily delivery load and daily delivery density, grade classification, for 14 total pollution load site's from 2014 to 2016 year in Jinwi river unit basin. The average discharge of Jinwi river unit basin is $22.411m^3/s$ and discharge of Hwangguji River is 32.8% and the water quality characteristics along the tributary river were clarified spatially. As the result, it was analyzed that Seongeun River is an indirect indicator of organic pollutants, Gwanri River is a seasonal factor, Osan River and Hwangguji River both affect water quality. Estimation of delivered pollutant loads at the HG-3 site was 6,470.4 BOD kg/day, 6,846.7 TN kg/day and delivered pollutant loads density increased to $220.9BOD\;kg/day/km^2$, $22.4TP\;kg/day/km^2$ at the HG-4 site. This result demonstrates that the total pollution load site needed to improve water quality of the Jinwi River unit basin was HG-3 site.

Volcanic ash components of Mt. Baekdu were estimated to response the change of water quality environment affected by Mt. Baekdu volcanic ash ejected during eruption. Then the change of water concentrations according to the sedimentation of volcanic ash components were analysed. To estimate volcanic ash components of Mt. Baekdu, similar volcanos were selected through the comparison of main foreign volcano's magma type and the selected volcanic ash components supposed as Baekdu Mountain's. To analyse the change of water concentrations, the change of harmful components affected by volcanic ash sedimentation were analysed and the results were compared with domestic drinking water quality standard. As the result, Al, Cd, F, Fe, Pb, Mg, Cl and Sr could affect to water quality. Among those components, concentrations of Cd, F, Fe, Pb and Mg were estimated to exceed the drinking water quality standard.

This study assessed biological water quality using epilithic diatoms in the Yeong river, Naeseong stream and Wi stream in the upper region of the Nakdong river from May to October 2016. Epilithic diatoms were not mobile, so they could reflect long-term water quality. The sampled epilithic diatoms were identified a total 158 taxa which were composed to 2 orders, 3 suborders, 8 families, 34 genera, 143 species and 15 varieties. Dominant species were Achnanthes convergens and Achnanthes minutissima at Yeong river, Nitzschia inconspicua at Naeseong stream, and Achnanthes minutissima, Cocconeis placentula var. lineata and Navicula minima at Wi stream. As a result of the CCA, Electrical conductivity, total nitrogen and total phosphorus were important factors determining the diatom species composition in the upper region of the Nakdong river. The correlation between diatom indices (DAIpo & TDI) measured to be high in the correlation coefficient (0.87) from the result of correlation analysis. In the result of the assessment of biological water quality using DAIpo and TDI, Yeong river was rated as class A at most sites. Naeseong stream was rated as class C to D at all sites except for N1 which was rated as Class A. Wi stream was rated as class B to C for DAIpo of W1, and TDI was rated as class D. The assessment of biological water quality at this site showed inferior TDI result compared to that of DAIpo. DAIpo and TDI of W2 were rated as class A to D, and the water quality has changed a lot. W3 and W4 were mostly rated as class B and C respectively.

Post-Environmental impact investigation(Post-EII) plays an important role in investigating and reducing the environmental impacts of construction operations in South Korea. To date, it has been estimated that the results for Post-EII showed the low reliability; however, understanding those reliability has rarely been studied. We investigated the effect on water qualities by construction operations of the quarry mine, training center, and golf club in South Korea. In addition, the results of water quality analysis in this study were compared and analyzed with those in Post-EII. Treated wastewater in a quarry mine showed high concentrations of biochemical oxygen demand(BOD), suspended solid(SS), total nitrogen(T-N), and total phosphorus(T-P). Compared with the water quality results between this study and Post-EII, the concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N, and T-P in the treated wastewater were higher than the interquartile range(IQR) as well as the range of the results from minimum to maximum in Post-EII(p<0.05). The concentrations of BOD, SS, T-N, and T-P in treated wastewater were high under constructions in a training center. The concentrations of BOD and SS exceeded the consultation standard for the treated wastewater. These concentrations showed the significant difference with the IQR and the range from minimum to maximum of the water quality results in Post-EII(p<0.05). Therefore, the management and monitoring for water quality should be conducted in the treated wastewater by of construction operations. In addition, the alternative to enhance the reliability for the water quality results should be sought in Post-EII.

임의의 지점에서 하천의 수질은 해당 하천으로 유입되는 모든 지역의 오염원에 대한 영향을 받으므로 상류 소유역에 전체에 대한 복합적인 평가가 동반되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 배출부하량 자료를 활용하여 충주댐 호소의 수질에 대한 상류 유역의 영향성을 평가하여 우심하천을 결정하는 방법을 제안하고, 충주댐 유역의 우심하천을 결정하였다. 충주댐 유역을 Korean Reach File (Version 3)에서 제공하는 182개 세유역으로 구분하였으며, 각각의 소유역에 대한 Straem Total Load (STL)를 산정하였다. 여기서, STL은 세유역의 하천으로 유입하는 모든 상류 세유역을 포함하는 단위면적당 배출부하량으로 명명하였다. 충주댐 본체가 포함된 세유역 (충주댐2-3)을 목표지역으로, 대상 수질 항목은 총인(TP)으로 선정하였다. 충주댐2-3 세유역의 STL은 0.0029 kg/ha/day이며, 상류 세유역의 STL이 목표 지역보다 높으면 댐호소 수질에 대한 영향이 큰 세유역으로 구분할 수 있다. 각각의 세유역에 대한 STL을 산정하면 장평천4 0.0191 kg/ha/day로 가장 높았으며, 주천강시점3 0.0089 kg/ha/day, 주천강상류1 0.0088 kg/ha/day 등의 순으로 나타났다. 또한 충주댐2-3의 STL보다 높은 세유역은 68개, 주요 우심하천은 장평천과 제천천 그리고 주천강 등으로 분류되었다. 또한 STL을 활용하면 상류 세유역에서 하류 세유역까지 배출부하의 이동 경향이 나타나므로 (최상류에서 높은 오염부하를 배출하여도 하류로 이동하며 낮은 오염부하를 배출하는 세유역과 합쳐지면 댐 호소의 수질에 대한 영향이 적은 것 등) 세유역의 배출부하 또는 단위면적당 배출부하로 우심지역을 평가하는 방법과의 차별성을 가지고 있다.
