Long-term trends and distribution patterns of water quality were investigated in the Gunsan coastal areas of Yellow Sea, Korea from 1972 to 2006. Water samples were collected at 6 stations and physicochemical parameters were analyzed including water temperature, salinity, suspended solids(SS), chemical oxygen demand(COD), dissolved oxygen(DO) and nutrients. Spatial distribution patterns of temperature, DO and SS were not clear among stations but the seasonal variations were distinct except COD and SS. The trend analysis by principal component analysis(PCA) during 24 years revealed the significant variations in water quality in the study area. Spatial water qualities were clearly classified into 3 clusters by PCA; station cluster 1, 2~4, and 5~6. Annual water qualities were clearly classified into 4 surface water clusters and 5 bottom water clusters by PCA. By this multi-variate analysis. The annual trends were summarized as follows; Salinity, pH and DO tended to increase since late 1970's, COD to increase since 1987, and SS to decrease and nutrients to increase in Gunsan coastal waters due to the input of fresh water from land same as in Kyoungin coastal area, Asan coastal area and Choensoo bay.

This study was performed to characterize the seasonal variation of water quality and sediment environment from May, 2004 to February, 2006 in 21 stations of Gwangyang bay. Gawngyang bay is located in the middle of south coast of Korea and semi-dosed with Yeosu peninsula, Gwangyang-city and Namhea-do. Water quality at the west coast of Myo-do were highly deteriorated than other stations. At summer season(July 2005), the concentration of the most analytical items were highly detected than other seasons and the lowest concentration was at the winter season(January 2005, February 2006). Especially, DIP and TP were highly detected around the coast of Yeosu industrial complex. N/P ratio were higher than 16 of Redfield ratio in the spring(May 2005) and winter(February 2006) at the surface layer. While at other seasons and most stations were lower than 16 of Redfield ratio. In the survey of sediment environment, ignition loss(IL), chemical oxygen demand(COD) and acid volatile sulfide(AVS) were in the range of $2.51\sim22.10%,\;2.65\sim48.41mg/g-dry\;and\;0.01\sim8.95mg/g-dry$, respectively. COD in surface sediment was highest at summer season AVS was highest at autumn. In sediment, the corelationship coefficients between COD and IL, COD and AVS were 0.65 and 0.44, respectively.

Differences in characteristics of flora and environmental factors of geomorphology, hydrology, water quality and soil were investigated in the shoreline of total 35 reservoirs according to their usages of waterpower generation, agricultural water supply, residential and industrial water supply and flood control in Korea. The number of plant species, floral structure and characteristics of species traits in the shoreline of reservoirs were different according to their usage. From the results of stepwise regression analysis, the total number of vascular plant species was increased at the environment of the higher flood frequency at the median water level and the longer exposure duration of the shoreline. The results of principal coordinates analysis and cluster analysis showed that the shoreline flora was classified as the 3 types of 1) flood control and residential and industrial water supply, 2) agricultural water supply and 3) waterpower generation reservoirs. The water level fluctuation, flood frequency at the median water level, lake water quality index and exposure duration of the shoreline were selected as important environmental factors affected on the characteristics of shoreline flora. The species richness of total flora and hydrophytes, especially submerged macrophytes, were much higher in the reservoirs for the purpose of the waterpower generation in which mesotrophic water quality and stable water levels were maintained. Annual or biennial ruderals were established on the ephemeral drawdown zone of flood control, residential and industrial water supply reservoirs which have oligotrophic or mesotrophic water quality and wide range of water level fluctuation. The floating hydrophytes were differentially dominated in the littoral zones of the agricultural water supply reservoirs with a mesotrophic or eutrophic water quality and a medium water level fluctuation. In conclusion environmental factors related to water level fluctuation and water quality were different and then the floral characteristics of shoreline were distinguishable according to usage of Korean reservoirs.

This study explored spatiotemporal variability of water quality in correspondence with hydrometeorological factors in the five stations of Paldang Reservoir located in the Han River during 4 years from May 2012 to December 2015. Variability of basic water quality factors were largely related with seasonal fluctuations of hydrology. Temperature stratification occurred in the deep dam station, and prolonged hypoxia was observed during the draught year. Nitrogen nutrients were increased with decreasing inflow in which changing pattern of $NH_4$ reversed to $NO_3$ by the effect of treated wastewater effluent. Phosphorus increase was manifest during the period of high inflow or severe drought. Chl-a variation was reversely related with both flow change and AGP(algal growth potential) variations. Our study demonstrated that water quality variability in Paldang Reservoir was largely attributed to both natural and operational changes of inflow and outflow (including water intake) based on major pollution source of the treated wastewater (total amount of $472{\times}10^3m^3d^{-1}$) entering to the water system from watershed. In the process of water quality variability, meteorological (e.g., flood, typhoon, abnormal rainfall, scorching heat of summer) and hydrological factors (inflow and discharge) were likely to work dynamically with nutrients pulse, dilution, absorption, concentration and sedimentation. We underline comprehensive limnological study related to hydro-meteorolology to understand short- and long-term water quality variability in river-type large reservoir and suggest the necessity of P-free wastewater treatment for the effective measure of reducing pollution level of Paldang drinking water resource.

현재까지 상수도관망 내 수질적 거동에 대한 분석은 (1) 네트워크 수질 모델(EPANET 수질모의 등)에 기반한 방법과 (2) 시공간적 저해상도 데이터에 기반한 데이터 분석법이 주를 이루었다. 그러나 현존 네트워크 수질 모델은 수질 사고의 복잡한 물리·화학적 거동을 상세히 모의하기 어렵다. 반면 계측 및 통신기술의 발달로 고해상도 수질 데이터의 실시간 수집이 가능해지면서 사고의 사전감지, 발생시 즉각적 탐지 및 대응을 위한 데이터 분석법에 관심이 증가하고 있다. 서울 문래동, 인천, 포항의 경우에서도 알 수 있듯이, 수질사고 발생 시 원인물질의 시공간적 이송 또는 전파에 대한 정보는 사고대응에 유용하게 활용된다. 본 연구는, 비정상적인 수질변화의 계통 내 전달 시간을 계산하기 위해 고해상도 수질 스마트 미터 데이터에 기반한 데이터 분석법을 개발하였다. 물공급 하류방향의 수질변화 전달 시간 정량화를 위해 화음탐색법 기반 동적시간워핑(Dynamic time warping; DTW) 기술을 이용하였고, 원데이터의 전처리를 위해 이동평균필터링을 수행하였다. 개발된 분석법은 A시 생산 및 배·급수과정의 감시지점에서 10초 단위로 계측된 다양한 수질변수(pH, 탁도, 잔류염소, 전기전도도, 수온 등)의 공간적 변이 전파시간을 결정하기 위해 적용되었다. 분석에 활용한 데이터는 데이터 통신 및 측정 기기에 의한 이상값과 운영상황의 변화에 따라 변동한 값을 처리하기 이전의 데이터이다. 데이터 품질에 의한 영향을 배제하기 위해 이상값이 발생하지 않은 기간을 파악한 후, 그 기간에 대하여 분석하였다. 계통 내 위계에 따라 두 지점의 측정값의 전파시간을 정량화한 결과, 지점에 따라 전파시간이 다르게 나타났다. 또한, 같은 두 지점에 적용한 결과라도 DTW를 적용하는 기간과 이동평균필터링의 크기에 따라 수질변화 전달 시간이 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발된 분석법은 다변량 수질변수 간의 영향관계를 파악하는데 확장 적용이 가능하다. 또한, 이 방법의 실시간 적용을 통해 동적으로 변화하는 전달시간을 주기적, 공간적으로 갱신하여 관망 수질 변화 모니터링이 가능하다.

In this study, we developed a model to simulate the interaction between sediment and the overlying water. The model deals with water-sediment interaction in terms of the sedimentation of organic detritus from the pelagic zone into the benthic zone and the release of nutrients occurring in the reverse direction. The model was tested and verified by comparing the predicted release rates of phosphorus from the sediment in Osaka Bay with actual observed values. The results accurately reproduced the seasonal change in release rates. The results well represented seasonal change of the release rates. A long-term prediction of water and sediment quality was performed for the period from 1950 to 1999. Nutrient loads from land and the boundary conditions of 3-D baroclinic flows were season-adjusted. The model accurately reproduced the changing trends in phosphorus, nitrogen, and COD concentrations in Osaka Bay over a long period of time.

기후변화로 나타나게 될 댐 저수지의 수질 및 생태환경 변화에 대한 분석은 국가 수자원관리 측면에서 우선적으로 대비해야할 중요한 문제로써, 수자원을 안정적이고 효과적으로 관리 및 활용하기 위해서 기후변화로 인한 댐 저수지의 수환경 변화의 정확한 분석과 취약성 평가가 필수적이다. 이러한 기후변화로 인한 신뢰성 있는 영향평가를 위해서는 기후변화시나리오 분석, 댐 유역의 오염물질 유출을 시 공간적으로 해석할 수 있는 유역 모델과 댐저수지로 유입된 이후 오염물질 거동 분석을 위한 저수지 모델이 필요하며, 특히 다양한 기후변화 시나리오하에서의 미래 전망과 발생가능한 취약성을 예측 및 평가하는 기술을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 총 7개의 다목적댐 유역과 저수지에 대하여 기후변화로 인한 신뢰성이 있는 영향평가를 위해서 기후변화 시나리오의 상세화를 통한 상세지역의 기후예측, 댐 유역 모형에서의 유출, 토사 및 오염물질예측과 저수지모형을 통한 미래의 저수지내 오염/영양물질순환 및 분포예측을 통해 기후변화에 의한 다목적댐 취약성을 평가하고자 한다. 총 7개의 다목적댐 유역의 기후변화 시나리오 적용에 따른 유출변화 및 하천수질 전망을 위해 인공신경망 방법에 의해 상세화된 기후자료를 검보정된 SWAT 모형에 적용하였다. 이때, 기준년에 해당하는 Baseline 기간은 인공신경망 학습기간(1990-2010)과 동일하게 모의하였으며, 미래 분석기간 역시 마찬가지로 2011-2040, 2041-2070, 2071-2100의 3개 기간으로 구분하였다. 또한, 미래 전망결과에 대한 분석은 각 30년 일별 모의결과에 대한 월 평균, 계절 평균으로 분석하였다. 유출변화 전망은 댐유역별 월별 총유입량 변화와 함께 유황분석을 통해 미래 댐유입량에 대한 규모 및 변동성 분석을 실시하였으며, 하천수질 변화 전망을 위해 호소유입 하천의 Sediment, TN, TP 월별 오염부하량 변화 분석을 실시하였다. 또한 댐유입 총량에 대한 변동성을 분석한 후, 저수지수질모델의 입력경계조건에 해당하는 각 댐저수지 유입 하천의 미래 유출량 및 수질농도 변화를 분석하였다.

낙동강에는 2010-2012년 4대강 사업 완료 후 8개의 다기능 보가 설치되었다. 보 설치로 인해 물의 체류시간이 증가하고 보 상류에는 정체수역이 광범위하게 형성되었다. 이후 지속된 가뭄과 여름철 고온현상이 겹치면서 남조류의 과잉성장(녹조현상)이 빈번히 발생하여 수생태계 건강성에 문제를 초래하는 등 사회적 이슈로 자리잡게 되었다. 조류의 과잉성장을 해결하기 위해 정부에서는 총인(TP) 방류수 수질기준 강화, 펄스형 방류기법 운영 등 대책을 추진하였으며, 녹조 우심지역을 선정하고 지역 특성에 맞는 대응방안을 수립하여 추진하고 있으나, 그 효과가 국부적이고 일시적이어서 근원적 대책 마련이 필요한 실정이다. 일반적으로 남조류의 과잉성장에 영향을 미치는 요소는 높은 영양염류(질소, 인)와 유기물 농도, 고온과 안정적인 성층강도, 그리고 남조류의 생리적 특성 등으로 매우 다양하기 때문에 정확한 발생 원인의 분석이 어려운 경우가 많다. 그러나, 보에 의해 흐름이 조절되는 하천에서는 유량, 유속 및 수온성층 등이 남조류 성장과 천이특성에 가장 민감한 영향을 미친다. 선행 연구사례에서는 유량과 남조류 생체량이 서로 반비례 관계를 가진다는 점과 상 하층간의 온도차(수온성층)가 남조류 우점과 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것을 보였다(Sherman et al. 1998). 따라서 최근 국내에서도 보의 관리수위를 낮추어 유속을 증가시키고 체류시간을 감소시켜 녹조문제를 완화하려는 노력이 추진 중이다. 하지만 하천의 수질은 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 요인들의 복잡한 상호작용의 결과이므로, 단기간의 측정 결과로 보 수위 저하의 효과를 평가하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 이를 과학적으로 평가하기 위해서 수리 수질 생태의 연동해석이 가능한 수치모델을 활용할 필요가 있다. 수치모델은 매개변수를 충분히 보정한다면, 다른 모든 요인은 동일한 조건에서 보 수위 저하만의 영향을 예측하는데 활용가능하다. 본 연구의 목적은 낙동강 수계 중류에 위치한 칠곡보-강정고령보 구간을 대상으로 3차원 수리 수질모델인 EFDC를 구축하고, 실측 자료를 이용하여 모델을 보정한 후 보 관리수위의 저하운영 시나리오에 따른 수질과 남조류의 시 공간적 변동 특성을 분석하는데 있다.

Water quality of Masan-Jinhae Bay was monitored from January 1996 to August 1997. The monitoring focused on the spatial and vertical gradients and seasonal changes of eutrophication parameters such as nutrients, DO and water transparency. Flagellate phytoplanktons persistently bloomed from April to October with monospecific or mixed algal blooms and dynamic algal successions were observed in this area. Algal blooms were highly correlated with salinity drops and made the water less transparent. Stratification of oxygen content was persistent through summer and oligo-oxygenation was developed in the bottom waters. Nutrient gradients were consistently maintained through the depth in summer and through spatial distribution from inner Masan Bay to outer Jinhae Bay in winter. Except the rainfall seasons, water quality was under the influence of the waste waters discharged from watershed around the Masan Bay. The waste waters would act as the primary factor for the water quality deterioration of the bay. Literature data for eutrophication were gathered and analyzed to review the water quality trends of the Masan and Jinhae bays since 1970. Annual mean COD and phosphate concentration consistently increased from 1975 to 1990 and decreased or dropped after 1991. The sediment of inner part of Masan Bay was dredged from 1991 to 1994 as a decontamination process and it is assumed that the dredging has weakened more or less the deterioration trend of the water quality of the bay.

Abnormal condition inevitably occurs during operation of water distribution system (WDS) and requires the isolation of certain areas using isolation valves. In general, the determination of the optimal location of isolation valves considered minimization of hydraulic failures as isolation of certain areas causes a change in hydraulic states (e.g., flow direction, velocity, pressure, etc.). Water quality failure can also be induced by changes in hydraulics, which have not been considered for isolation valve system design. Therefore, this study proposes a new isolation valve system design methodology to prevent unexpected water quality failure events. The new methodology considers flow direction change ratio (FDCR), which accounts for flow direction changes after isolation of the area, as a constraint while reliability is used as the objective function. The optimal design model has been applied to a synthetic grid network and the results are compared with the traditional design approach. Results show that considering FDCR can eliminate flow direction changes while average pressure and coefficient of variation of pressure, velocity, and hydraulic geodesic index (HGI) outperform compared to the traditional design approach. The proposed methodology is expected to be a useful approach to minimizing unexpected consequences by traditional design approaches.
