In this study, we performed algorithms to predict algae of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a). Water quality and quantity data of the middle Nakdong River area were used. At first, the correlation analysis between Chl-a and water quality and quantity data was studied. We extracted ten factors of high importance for water quality and quantity data about the two weirs. Algorithms predicted how ten factors affected Chl-a occurrence. We performed algorithms about decision tree, random forest, elastic net, gradient boosting with Python. The root mean square error (RMSE) value was used to evaluate excellent algorithms. The gradient boosting showed 10.55 of RMSE value for the Gangjeonggoryeong (GG) site and 11.43 of RMSE value for the Dalsung (DS) site. The gradient boosting algorithm showed excellent results for GG and DS sites. Prediction value for the four algorithms was also evaluated through the Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Area under curve (AUC). As a result of the evaluation, the AUC value was 0.877 at GG site and the AUC value was 0.951 at DS site. So the algorithm's ability to interpret seemed to be excellent.

The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been widely used in hydrology and sediment simulation worldwide. In most cases, the SWAT model is first calibrated with adjustments in model parameters, and then the validation is performed. However, very little study regarding the effects on SWAT estimation of subwatershed delineation was performed. Thus, the SWAT model was applied to the Doam-dam watershed with various threshold values in subwatershed delineation in this study to examine the effects on the number of subwatershed delineated on SWAT estimation. It was found the flow effect of subwatershed delineation is negligible. However there were huge variations in SWAT estimated sediment, T-N, and T-P values with the use of various threshold value in watershed delineation. Sometimes these variations due to watershed delineation are beyond the effects of parameter adjustment in model calibration and validation. The SWAT is a semi-distributed modeling system, thus, the subwatershed characteristics are assumed to be the same for all Hydrologic Response Unit (HRU) within that subwatershed. This assumption leads to variations in the SWAT estimated sediment and nutrient output values. Therefore, it is strongly recommended the SWAT users need to use the HUR specific slope length and slope value in model runs, instead of using the slope and the corresponding slope length of the subawatershed to exclude the effects of the number of subwatershed delineated on the SWAT estimation.

저수지에서 수체의 거동정보는 저수지관리를 위해 매우 중요하며, 이를 수리 및 수질모형에 적용하여 다양한 예측에 활용할 수 있는 기본적인 정보이다. 그러나 저수지 수체의 흐름은 매우 느리고 조사시기에 따라 혹은 수심에 따라 영향을 받으며, 바람 등 외부요인에도 영향을 받게 됨으로 정확한 측정에 많은 어려운 문제가 있다. 따라서 보다 정확한 측정을 위해서는 최신의 기술이 적용되어야 한다. 현장조사에 적용한 저수지 수체거동조사장비(drifter)는 수체의 유동을 관측하는 장치로 GPS 및 Drogue를 장착한 장치가 저수지 수체의 흐름에 따라 이동하면서 위치정보를 무선통신으로 실시간 전송할 수 있도록 만들어진 장치이다. 수체흐름 측정장치는 크게 수체거동정보 생산부이 시스템과 수집서버 및 데이터베이스 서버로 구성되어 있다. 현장 조사시에는 부이에 장착되어 있는 GPS를 통해 현재의 위치가 매번 정해진 시간 간격마다 본체 내부의 메모리에 저장되며, 측정자가 설정한 시간간격으로 위치정보를 수신국으로 전송하도록 구성되어 있다. 수체이동부이의 데이터 수신은 CDMA를 통해 송신된 메일 데이터를 자체적으로 수집하여 데이터형태로 변환한 뒤 실시간으로 표출하고 저장되며, 최대 10개의 부이를 동시에 추적 및 모니터링할 수 있게 구성되어 있다. 본 연구는 용담댐저수지에서 평갈수기 및 풍수기로 구분하여 수체거동을 조사하였다. 평갈수기 조사는 2010년 4월부터 6월까지 총 3차례에 걸쳐 실시하였으며, 풍수기 조사는 8월에 3차례에 걸쳐 실시하였다. 수집된 자료에 의하면 평갈수기 drifter의 평균 속도는 2.25 cm/sec, 최고 속도는 3.46 cm/sec, 최저 속도는 1.15 cm/sec로 나타났으며, 풍수기 조사에서는 평균 속도 2.0 cm/sec, 최고 속도는 2.5 cm/sec, 최저 속도는 1.29 cm/sec로 조사되어 평갈수기와 풍수기간 저수지 수체의 이동속도는 유사한 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 수기별 조사는 보다 더 많은 정보가 필요하며, 수심에 따른 차이도 있을 것으로 판단되어 좀더 다양한 조사가 수행되어야 보다 정확한 결과를 도출할수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In the aftermath of nation-wide controversy over "conservation vs. development" of the costal wetland in the Saemangeum, Korea could legislate the laws of wetland conservation and costal management in 1998. Since then, the public interest in the costal mudflats and its conservation has increased greatly, but the controversy on the economic value of mutflat wetland and the futher (un)necessity of reclamation) is not yet settled. In the cases of Korea dealt, economic valuation of wetland was performed mainly in the milieu of reclamation(development) vs conservation conflict, or from interest of recreational use. Korean studies used to estimate economic value of development case and conservation case respectively and then tried to compare these two value, as is sometimes done also in other countries. But the scrutiny of the results of these studies leads us to conclude that the revealed wide discrepancy among estimated values, above all other methodological problems, denies any practical applicability to the actual policy use. Benefit transfer as a convenient alternative method of valuation can not be usable either in our cases, because there is too few reliable estimated economic values of mudflat wetlands.

This study investigated about the seasonal variation of pollutant loads flowing into the Yeong-il bay from constructing Tank model which is the simulation model to evaluate the daily river discharge and pollutant load in the Hyeong-san river watershed. The estimated annual average river discharge of Hyeong-san river flowing into Yeong-il bay is about 878.34×10/sup 6/㎥/year which is about 73% of annual average of total precipitation in Hyeong-san river watershed. The annual average of pollutant load flowing into Yeong-il bay was estimated each 15.11 ton-COD/year, 23.24 ton-SS/year, 10.65 ton-TN/year, and 0.54 ton-Tp/year. For the seasonal variation of pollutant loads, it was tended as increasing of river discharge as increasing of inflow pollutant loads at June and July of summer and October of autumn. The main source of pollutant loads was found to be the Pohang city and Pohang industrial complex which are located near the mouth of Hyeong-san river. Therefore, for effective water quality management of Yeong-il bay, the counterplan to reduce pollutant loads from the main source of pollutant loads is required.

Namgang mid-watershed is located in downstream of Nakdong river basin. There are many pollution sources arround this area and it's control is important to manage a water quality of Nakdong river. A target year of Namgang mid-watershed water environment management plan is 2013. To predict a water quality at downstream of Namgang, we have investigated and forecasted the pollutant source and it's loading. There are some plan to construction the sewage treatment plants to improve the water quality of Nam river. Those are considered on predicting water quality. As results, it is shown that the population is 343,326 and sewerage supply rate is 79.2% and the livestock is 1,662,000 in Namgang mid-watershed. It is estimated that the population is 333,980, the sewerage supply rate is 86.9% in 2013. The milk cow and cattle were estimated upward and the pigs were downward by 2013. The generated loading of BOD and TP is 75,957 kg/day and 4,311 kg/day, discharged loading is 18,481 kg/day and 988 kg/day respectively in 2006. It were predicted upward the discharged loading of BOD and TP by 4.08% and 6.3% respectively. The results of water quality prediction of Namgang4 site were 2.5 mg/L of BOD and 0.120 mg/L of TP in 2013. It is over the target water quality at that site in 2015 about 25.0% and 9.1% respectively. Consequently, there need another counterplan to reduce the pollutants in that mid-watershed.

For the efficient discovery of knowledge and information from the observed systems, data mining techniques can be an useful tool for the prediction of water quality at intake station in rivers. Deterioration of water quality can be caused at intake station in dry season due to insufficient flow. This demands additional outflow from dam since some extent of deterioration can be attenuated by dam reservoir operation to control outflow considering predicted water quality. A seasonal occurrence of high ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3$-N) concentrations has hampered chemical treatment processes of a water plant in Geum river. Monthly flow allocation from upstream dam is important for downstream $NH_3$-N control. In this study, prediction models of water quality based on multiple regression (MR), artificial neural network and data mining methods were developed to understand water quality variation and to support dam operations through providing predicted $NH_3$-N concentrations at intake station. The models were calibrated with eight years of monthly data and verified with another two years of independent data. In those models, the $NH_3$-N concentration for next time step is dependent on dam outflow, river water quality such as alkalinity, temperature, and $NH_3$-N of previous time step. The model performances are compared and evaluated by error analysis and statistical characteristics like correlation and determination coefficients between the observed and the predicted water quality. It is expected that these data mining techniques can present more efficient data-driven tools in modelling stage and it is found that those models can be applied well to predict water quality in stream river systems.

As an improvement on qualities of lives and a change in the habitual ways people eat require more water to be used for daily lives, the amount of wastewater generated from our usual lives is also expected to be in higher rate of consumption. The unit loading factor of sewage flow-rate based upon the number of people living in the apartment complexes has to be found for the design of the sewage or wastewater treatment facilities. These data are definitely thought to be useful for the plans to operate the sewage treatment facilities and for those to establish the plans toward a management of water qualities. Thus this study has shown that the data regarding the water supplies and the number of apartment residents within the 123 districts of KNHC(Korea National Housing Corporation) were collected and analyzed. One district in Seoul and the other local district were chosen an the experimental sites for th hourly, daily, weekly and seasonal measurements of the influent sewage flow-rate. The unit loading factor of influent sewage flow-rate were determined through the comparison of total sewage amount in combination with the number of people residing in two apartment complexes with supplying amount of water.
