This study aims to present the characteristics of marine physics, water quality, and sediment quality around offshore wind farm near the Gochang and Buan sea areas through the analysis of monitoring data. The relationships between suspended solid and wave height as well as suspended solid and flow velocity were analyzed. We found that Correlation Coefficient values of 0.61~0.69 between wave height and suspended solid, and suspended solid concentration reaches 75 mg/L or higher when wave height of more than 1m occurred in the spring (1 month). The water quality index (WQI) was used to identify the status of the water quality in the study area. Most of the measured points were rated first grade (very good). The variation of chlorophyll-a was relatively hight compared to the other criteria, indicating that it is a major factor affecting the quality index. In the sediment column, all heavy metals were detected below the Threshold Effects Level(TEL), and ignition loss and grain size show a positive correlation.

In order to study the characteristics of water quality in coastal water and mechanism of phytoplankton blooms, factors of water quality were investigated in diatom bloom area due to rainfall event and no diatom bloom area Diatom blooms occurred after heavy rain and the dominant species were Skeletonema costatum($1,200{\sim}5,000cells/mL$) and Thalassiosira spp.($750{\sim}1,200cells/mL$). In diatom bloom area, water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen were observed at higher level than in no diatom bloom area Although these two areas were only 20 meters apart from each other, sharp difference in coastal water quality between two areas was observed. In diatom bloom area, concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate were observed at lower level than in no diatom blooms area. This seems to be due to inflow of much trace metal such as Fe, Mo, Se and so on than nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate by rainfall events. However, distinct differences in DIN/DIP and $DIN/SiO_2-Si$ between these two areas were not observed.

Due to the enforcement of effluent water regulation the advance sewage treatment system is needed to retrofit and remodelling. In this case the most important issue is the effluent concentrations of TP and there are a lot of system to reduce its concentration. But biological treatment processes have many restrictions to enhance the removal efficiency of TP. In this study the efficient ECO operating condition to improve and retrofit biological sewage wastewater treatment system is as follow; 1) The treatment efficiency of BOD, TN and TP at the current density of $15mA/cm^2$ was higher than the treatment efficiency at $5mA/cm^2$ in the electrodes arranged with Al-SUS(Stainless Steel) regardless of the reaction time, The TP concentration was 0.1 mg/L or less. Especially, when the reaction time was maintained at 10 min, the TP concentration was 0.06 mg/L or less irrespective of the current density. 2) The change of TP concentration is not influenced by the change of current density and rather the concentration of treated water changes according to the reaction time. In the case of electro coagulation reaction, a few seconds to several minutes are required. However, the reaction time of electro coagulation and oxidation was studied to be more than 10 minutes. 3) As a result, it has been studied that the economical current density of the electro coagulation oxidation process for TN and TP treatment of domestic wastewater is $15mA/cm^2$ or less and the reaction time is 10 minutes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the expansion and withering of Salix subfragilis communities on the water quality in Namgang Dam reservoir. The distribution area of the Salix subfragilis communities was 0.12 km² in 2003 for the first time, but it was 3.58 km² in 2019, which has increased rapidly by about 30 times in 16 years. However, in 2013, the distribution area has decreased by 0.17 km² due to long-term immersion in high turbidity, and self-thinning in Salix subfragilis communities. The lake characteristics of reservoir showed a combination of lake type and river type in terms of average water depth, watershed area/lake surface area ratio, water residence time, flushing rate, and stratification. From the result of analyzing long-term changes in lake water quality, COD, TP, and chlorophyll-a in Salix subfragilis communities were significantly larger than those in the three points located in the central part of reservoir. In particular, the fact that the value of chlorophyll-a showed the maximum value in winter rather than summer, unlike the trend of the three points in the Namgang Dam water quality monitoring network, is thought to have occurred internally rather than externally. It can be estimated that one cause of this deterioration of the water quality in Namgang Dam reservoir is the huge amount of nutrients generated in the decomposition process of by-products such as fallen leaves, branches and withered trees in Salix subfragilis communities.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization have led to severe marine pollution. A Water Quality Index (WQI) has been developed to allow the effective management of marine pollution. However, the WQI suffers from problems with loss of information due to the complex calculations involved, changes in standards, calculation errors by practitioners, and statistical errors. Consequently, research on the use of artificial intelligence techniques to predict the marine and coastal WQI is being conducted both locally and internationally. In this study, six techniques (RF, XGBoost, KNN, Ext, SVM, and LR) were studied using marine environmental measurement data (2000-2020) to determine the most appropriate artificial intelligence technique to estimate the WOI of five ecoregions in the Korean seas. Our results show that the random forest method offers the best performance as compared to the other methods studied. The residual analysis of the WQI predicted score and actual score using the random forest method shows that the temporal and spatial prediction performance was exceptional for all ecoregions. In conclusion, the RF model of WQI prediction developed in this study is considered to be applicable to Korean seas with high accuracy.

경상북도 지역에서 낙동강에 위치한 안동의 하회마을, 내성천에 위치한 예천의 회룡포와 영주의 무섬마을 등은 마을 앞에 위치한 깨끗한 백사장으로 널리 알려진 관광명소이다. 하회마을의 점사주의 경우 낙동강 상류에 안동 및 임하 다목적댐이 건설되면서, 수량이 조절됨에 따라 토사수리학적 특성이 상당히 변화되었으며, 식생이 발생하는 등 옛 모습을 상실해 가고 있는 지역이다. 이 연구는 낙동강의 중상류 구간인 안동조정지댐 직하류부터 하회마을 직하류에 위치한 광덕교 지점까지의 하도구간에 일차원 하상변동 수치모형인 HEC6 모형을 적용하여 하회마을 앞의 점사주에 영향을 미치는 토사수리학적 특성 변화를 규명할 목적으로 수행하였다. 수치모형 적용구간의 하상변동을 예측하기 위해 적절한 일차원 준정상 상태 하상변동모형으로 HEC-6 모형을 선정하였으며, 모형적용을 위한 현황분석으로 하상토 특성 자료를 수집 분석하였다. 지형자료에 대한 분석 결과, 다목적댐 건설 이후 하회구간의 하천 지형 변화의 특징으로 저수로 쪽의 하상저하가 두드러지게 나타남을 발견할 수 있었다. 모형의 적용영역 내에 위치한 각 수위표 지점의 수리 수문자료를 수집하여 분석하였다.

The National Groundwater Monitoring Network (NGMN) in South Korea has been implemented in alluvial/ bedrock aquifers for efficient management of groundwater resources. In this study, aquifer types were reclassified with unconfined and confined aquifers based on water-level fluctuation and water quality characteristics. Principal component analysis (PCA) of water-level data from paired monitoring wells of alluvial/bedrock aquifers results in the principal components of both aquifers showing similar water-level fluctuation pattern. There was no significant difference in the rate of water-level rises responding to precipitations and in the NO₃-N concentrations between the alluvial and bedrock aquifers. In contrast, in the results classified with the hydrogeological type, the principal components of water level were different between unconfined and confined conditions. The water-level rises to precipitation events were estimated to be 4.6 (R²=0.8) in the unconfined and 2.1 (R²=0.4) in the confined aquifers, respectively, indicating less impact of precipitation recharge to the confined aquifer. The confined aquifers have the average NO₃-N concentration below 3 mg/L, implying the natural background level protected from the sources at surface. In summary, reclassification of aquifers into hydrogeological types clearly shows the differences between unconfined and confined aquifers in the water-level fluctuation pattern and NO₃-N concentrations. The hydrogeologic condition of aquifer could improve groundwater resource management by providing critical information on groundwater quantity through recharge estimation and quality for protection from potential contamination sources.

This study investigates the seasonal variation and spatial distribution characteristics of pollutant load, as executing the quality valuation of pollutant load inflowing into Yeong-il Bay from on-land including the Hyeong-san River. Annual total pollutant generating rate from Yeong-il Bay region are 202ton-BOD/day, 620ton-SS/day, 42ton-TN/day, and 16ton-TP/day, respectively. Particularly, the generating ration of the pollutant loads from the Hyeong-san River is greater than that of any other watershed of the Yeong-il Bay, of which BOd is about 78.2％, SS 88.5％, T-N 62.5％, T-P 73.1％, As calculating Tank model with input value of daily precipitation and evaporation of 2001 year in drainage basin of the Hyeong-san River, the estimated result of the annual river discharge effluence from this river is 830106㎥, As a result to estimating annual effluence rate outflowing at the rivers from each drainage basin. annual inflow pollutant rates are 10,633ton-BOD/year, 19,302ton-SS/year, 15,369ton-TN/year, 305ton-TP/year, respectively. The population congestion region of the Pohang-city is a greater source of pollutant loads than the Neang-Chun region with wide drainage area. Therefore, the quantity of TN inflowing into Yeong-il Bay is much more than T-P. The accumulation of pollutant load effluenced from on-land will happen at the inner coast region of Yeon-il Bay. Finally, We would make a prediction that the water quality will take a bad turn.

In this study, the elasticity was calculated and sensitivity analysis was performed using air-water temperature data of the major tributaries of the Nakdong River. We developed a nonparametric elasticity analysis technique capable of estimating the confidence interval for elasticity and verifying the hypothesis, and examined its applicability compared to the existing method using the median value. It is analyzed that the elasticity of winter is low and the elasticity of summer and autumn is high, so that the fluctuation of water temperature and water quality according to the fluctuation of air temperature is large. The spatial elasticity tends to be low in the Geumho River area, which is influenced by artificial factors such as sewage treatment plant effluent, small and medium-sized livestock wastewater, and small-scale factory wastewater. Since the elasticity of major tributaries of the Nakdong River is over weak and is reasonable at a significance level of 5%, it was analyzed that the air-water temperature fluctuation caused by climate changes is large.

국내에서 농업용수 취수, 수위 유지 등의 목적으로 18,000 개의 크고 작은 보가 하천에 설치되어 있으나 농경지의 도시화, 비닐하우스 단지화 등 토지이용의 변화와 대형 저수지의 축조/양수장 설치 등에 따른 취수 시설물의 통합 및 보체의 노후화 등으로 매년 50-150개의 보가 본래의 기능을 상실하여 용도 폐기되고 있다. 그러나 폐기된 보들이 철거 되지 않고 하천에 존치되어 하천생태통로의 단절, 수질 악화 등의 문제가 지속적으로 야기되고 있다. 외국의 경우에는 1970년대부터 본격적으로 기능을 상실한 보, 소형댐 등은 물론 일부 기능이 있는 하천횡단 시설물을 철거하여 하천환경복원을 추진하고 있다. 우리나라의 경우에는 최근 들어 기능을 상실한 보나 소형 댐 등에 한하여 하천생태통로 및 생태환경 복원 차원에서 철거의 필요성이 대두되기 시작하였다. 실제 철거도 이루어지고 있으나 체계적인 연구나 가이드라인 없이 지자체에 의해 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 보는 하천을 횡단하는 구조물로 보의 상류에 저류지가 형성되고 많은 양의 퇴적물이 쌓여 그에 따른 하상의 단차가 형성된다. 이런 보가 철거됨으로 인해 막대한 양의 유사가 이동하게 되고, 철거 형태에 따라 하상 침 퇴적이 발생하고 그 위치나 양에 따라 하천 형태가 변할 수 있다. 이런 변화를 예측하여 철거에 따른 문제 등을 사전에 방지할 수 있는 기술이 필요하고, 철거에 대한 가이드라인 등이 마련되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 한강 제 1지류인 곡릉천에 위치한 곡릉2보의 철거에 따른 하상 변동, 하천 형태 변화 등 물리적 영향을 조사하고, 보 철거 후 장 단기적인 하도 및 하상 변동 등을 예측하는 기술을 개발하는 것이다. 연구 대상 보인 곡릉2보의 철거에 따른 모니터링 결과, 하상의 종단 변화는 그리 크게 생기지 않았으며 보 상 하류 횡단면에서 변화가 다소 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 하상 재료의 부분적 변화도 발견되었으나, 전반적인 하천의 변화는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.
