본 연구는 국내 하천에서 방치되고 있는 구하도 구간의 물리적 상태를 파악함으로써 이를 보전 또는 관리하기위한 기초자료로써 활용하고자 한다. 국내의 구하도 구간은 자연적인 발생보다는 하천의 직강화, 하천부지 이용의 고도화 등 인위적인 교란으로 인해 형성된 것이 대부분이다. 이와 같이 사행구간의 하도가 절단(Cutoff)됨으로써 형성된 구하도는 우각호 형상의 습지형 구하도와 이미 육역화되어 농경지나 나대지로 이용되는 육화형 구하도로 구분할 수 있다. 특히 폐천(Abandoned Channel)화가 진행된 대부분의 습지형 구하도는 수질, 생태계, 육역화, 농업용수 이용 등 다양한 문제점 및 현안을 가지고 있기 때문에 이에 대한 보전 또는 관리가 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 우선적으로 습지형 구하도의 현재를 진단하고 평가하기 위한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 습지형 구하도를 평가하기 위한 평가지표를 제안하고 이를 만경강 습지형 구하도 5개소에 적용하였다. 평가지표는 국내외에서 제안된 하천환경 평가지표와 RAM(일반기능평가기법)을 토대로 작성하였다. 이 평가지표는 단절된 습지구간에 적정한 지표, 자료 획득의 용이성, 즉시 적용 가능한 것을 우선순위로 선정하였다. 평가지표는 자연도, 서식처, 친수, 수질 등 4개 지표를 세분화한 총 25개 항목으로 제안하였다. 만경강에 대한 물리적 평가결과 습지형 구하도의 경우 서식처, 자연도 부분이 높은 점수를 획득한 반면 수질과 친수 지표는 상대적으로 취약한 것으로 평가 되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 향후 만경강 습지형 구하도에 대한 보전 및 관리계획을 수립함에 있어 주요 고려사항이 될 수 있을 것이다.

Old river channels have been formed by engineering a straight channel in Korea. This can be classified as wetland-type or land-type. The wetland-type old river channel uses parts of agricultural water supply. However, the channels have been neglected since there are problems associated with poor water quality, reduced water level, ecosystem disturbance, etc. Thus, river maintenance through preservation and restoration of old river channel can be very effective in watershed management. To achieve this, functional assessment of wetland-type old river channel is a priority need. This study applied the wetland-type channel in Mangyoung river for functional assessment. It was formed these channels with regard to the following four major criteria (Natureless, Habitat, Water-friendliness and Water quality) and 21 indices. The indices managed by measuring depending in weights. Consequently, wetland-type channel in Mangyoung river was in good condition both natureless and habitat, while it was a fragile environment in water-friendliness and water quality. In particular, the areas where it has insufficiency water and water suffering from eutrophication needs urgent improvement. This results will be used to utilize wetland-type old river channel as watershed management.

This study was conducted to identify the distribution characteristics of small village wetlands in Geumsan County, an inland mountain zone, and comparing with Seocheon County, a coastal plain area with different ecological environment characteristics. Using Arc-GIS (v10.1) the village wetland code was extracted to derive the possible location of the village wetland, and the final distribution of the village was obtained by performing indoor judging work based on satellite images, aerial photographs, topographical maps, Korea Land Information System (KLIS), land use level, land cover degree (division), and land use status by local surveying and indoor analyzing. Although Geumsan County (576.66km2) is more than 60% larger than Seocheon County (358.04km2), 607 villages in Geumsan County and 570 villages in Seocheon County are capable of making similar levels of 106.5% of wetlands, but only a fraction of those in Seocheon County were found to be 67.6%. The density of the village wetlands was much lower than that of Seocheon County, a coastal plain area, because there were many mountainous areas in Geumsan County, and most of the wetlands temporarily created for water supply were removed during the analysis phase of the Jeongsa Image, so the actual wetlands of the village were judged to be only two-thirds different from those of Seocheon County.

The main function of artificial wetlands and the largest proportion of the purpose of artificial wetlands created is water purification. The public's interest and demand for water quality increased after the Four major rivers project, and the need for water quality improvement is expected to increase further as the use of waterfront increased due to the improvement of quality of life. Most of the projects focus on only one purpose, and research on the effects of one function is also being analyzed, which undervalues the actual creation of artificial wetlands. Therefore, in order to calculate the comprehensive benefits of artificial wetlands, the effects of flood reduction and water quality improvement were analyzed in this study among the various effects of artificial wetlands along riversides, and the benefits were calculated accordingly. In other words, the effects of flood mitigation and water quality improvement were calculated by comparing the artificial wetlands before and after the construction of artificial wetlands, and the benefits of each of them were calculated.

A mixed farming system that includes organic rice production and freshwater fish farming is being called into attention in Korean agricultural industry and rural areas in order to improve farm management and environmental conservation. This study was conducted to evaluate the environmental and ecological value of such mixed farming practices. Expert assessment and rapid assessment method (RAM) of wetland evaluation were employed for this study. Experts have responded that biodiversity conservation including amphibian and reptile habitat (2.39), aquatic insect habitat (2.36), Fishery habitat (2.34), vegetation diversity (2.13), avian habitat (2.05), and experience and education were the most important function of mixed farming. The wetland function evaluation conducted using modified RAM indicated that rice-fish mixed system showed improvements in most of the evaluated functions, compared to the conventional rice paddies. The overall wetland function of rice paddies in rice-fish mixed system was greatly improved as compared with the conventional rice paddies. Rice paddies are known to play an important role in biodiversity maintenance, and provide ecosystem services such as climate modulation and carbon reduction. Rice-fish mixed system of farming may not only improve various ecosystem services of rice paddies, but may increase farm income through value added fish farming, as well as promotion of social services such as education and maintenance of tradition. Additional research is needed for quantitative analysis of the values gained from the most improved wetland function when mixed farming system is actually put into practice, and to utilize the results in advertising of the organic rice, and in various sectors such as food, education and direct payment policy.

Changes in wetland soil properties of two constructed wetlands after their constructions were compared to those of a natural wetland to determine if they could be used for the evaluation of the success of constructed wetlands and the assessment of their functions. One natural wetland as a reference wetland and two constructed wetlands(treatment wetland and experimental wetland) with different contaminant inflow characteristics were selected for this study. Major physicochemical properties of wetland soil such as soil texture, water content, pH, CEC(cation exchange capacity), organic matter content, total nitrogen, and available phosphorus were monitored to investigate the effects of inundation and accumulation of organic matters and nutrients on the wetland soil development. There was a clear difference in soil texture between the natural wetland and the constructed ones, with the high sand content in the constructed wetlands as compared to the high clay content in the natural one. Gradual increases of silt and clay contents over time were observed in the constructed wetlands. The soil of the natural wetland was higher in water content and organic matter but lower in pH than those of the constructed wetlands. The pH of the constructed wetlands reached near neutral ranges after initial increase. CEC and nutrient concentrations of the constructed wetlands seemed to be affected mainly by outside inflows of organic matter and contaminants. Concentrations of organic matter and nutrients decreased over time in the experimental wetland where surface and deep soils with different characteristics were mixed during its construction, suggesting that changes in soil properties during wetland constructions may affect the development of wetland soils or wetland biogeochemistry. This study showed that changes in physicochemical properties of soils in constructed wetlands could be used to assess the success of constructed wetlands and their functions, and also the importance of reference wetlands for the appropriate assessment.

This study aims to economically evaluate rice production and various ecological services provided by organic rice paddy carrying out rice-fish mixed farming. It was also conducted to find a stable structure for increasing the income of rice-producing farmers and promoting ecological services by evaluating the economic feasibility of organic rice paddy for rice-fish mixed farming. As a result of the analysis of expected effects by ecological service functions according to the types of agriculture in the rice-fish mixed farming, general conventional paddy fields were evaluated to have an effect of continuously decreasing biodiversity such as amphibian reptiles, aquatic insects, bird habitats, experience and ecological education, and vegetation diversity, while the biodiversity of organic and rice-fish mixed paddy fields was assessed to increase. As a result of evaluating the economic value, as the area for fish production increases compared to the common practice and organic paddy fields, rice production decreases, but fish production increases and total income was analyzed to increase. In addition, if the value of ecosystem service functions is assessed in the future, it will increase further. It is hoped that these findings will be used as basic data for solving oversupply problems in the rice industry, preserving safe farm income, and improving sustainable farming and ecosystem service functions.

최근 기후변화 및 도시화의 영향으로 홍수와 가뭄과 같은 자연재난이 점점 심화되고 있다. 습지는 유속과 수위를 낮추는 홍수조절 효과가 있으며 가뭄시에는 물을 저장하는 역할을 하여, 인공습지의 조성은 심각해지는 홍수 및 가뭄에 해결방안으로 활용될 수 있다. 기존의 인공습지에 관한 연구는 식생과 수질정화기능과 종 다양성 등 생태적 기능에 관한 연구가 주로 이루어져왔으며, 인공습지의 홍수조절 효과에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 경안천 유역에 인공습지 조성에 따른 수문학적 홍수저감효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 수리모형인 HEC-RAS를 통하여 가상의 인공습지를 모형화 하여 인공습지 조성 전 후에 대한 홍수위를 비교 분석하였다. 또한 홍수범람을 모의하여 대상유역의 침수심 및 침수면적을 산정하고 이를 다차원홍수피해액산정법을 통하여 인공습지 조성 전 후에 대한 홍수피해액을 추정하였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 인공습지 조성 사업 시 사업의 경제적 타당성을 평가하며, 인공습지 설계의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

습지, 호수 및 강 등을 포함하는 수체는 증발 및 비교적 높은 열용량을 통하여 주변 기온에 영향을 미친다. 이러한 효과는 수체의 크기, 형태, 그리고 깊이 등 수체의 특성에 따라 다르게 난다. 대부분의 경우 수체는 주변 기온을 저감시키지만, 특정 경우 반대로 기온을 상승시키는 효과를 불러온다. 아울러, 같은 수체라도 수체 주변 지역의 구조나 형태, 그리고 기후 조건에 따라 그 영향이 다르게 나타난다. 이에 대부분 연구자는 수치해석, 원격탐사 기법, 혹은 관측을 사용하는 방법 등을 사용하여 경험적으로 수체마다 기온변화 효과를 달리 평가하였다. 하지만, 이러한 평가는 대부분 국외에서 수행되어왔으며, 강, 하천, 그리고 호수 등이 주로 연구되어왔다. 탄소저감 및 높은 기후조절 효과를 가지는 습지는 물을 포함하고 있어, 당연히 수체로 취급될 수 있다. 습지의 다양한 기능 중 기온조절 효과는 습지의 가치 및 중요성을 평가하기 위하여 반드시 연구되어야 한다. 국외의 경우, 관련 연구가 수행된 바 있지만, 우리나라의 경우 관련 연구가 아직 수행되지 않았다. 수체의 기온조절 효과는 수체의 특성, 주변 지형의 특성, 그리고 기후 조건 등에 영향을 받음으로 국외 연구 결과들을 국내 습지에 그대로 적용할 수 없다. 따라서, 우리나라습지에 대한 평가가 달리 수행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 습지의 기온조절 효과를 평가하고자 광주호 습지를 대상으로 ENVI-met 수치해석 모형을 사용하여 그 지역의 여러 가상의 발전시나리오를 구축하고 모의 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 광주호 습지의 기온저감 효과는 약 2km 정도까지 미치는 것으로 확인되었고, 그 규모는 기후 조건 및 주변 지형의 특성에 따라 달리 나타났다.

In this study, the nutrient concentration changes along the hydrologic flow path of a free water surface flow constructed wetland (CW) treating agricultural stream runoff was investigated. Dry sampling was performed from April 2009 to November 2011 at five locations representing each treatment units of the CW. Grab water samples were analyzed for nitrogen forms such as total nitrogen (TN), total Kjeldahl nitrogen, nitrate, and ammonium; and phosphorus forms including total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate. Findings revealed that the physical properties such as temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH affected the TP retention in the CW. High nutrient reduction was observed after passing the first sedimentation zone indicating the importance of settling process in the retention of nutrients. However, it was until the 85% of the length of the CW where nutrient retention was greatest indicating the deposition of nutrients at the alternating shallow and deep marshes. TN and TP concentration seemed to increase at the final sedimentation zone (FSZ) suggesting a possible nutrient source in this segment of the CW. It was therefore recommended to reduce or possibly remove the FSZ in the CW for an optimum performance, smaller spatial allocation and lesser construction expenses for similar systems.
