Samples were collected from five stations monthly from October 2003 to September 2004 to investigate seasonal variation of size structure of phytoplankton and relationship between size-fractionated phytoplankton and environmental factors in the Asan Bay. The contribution of large cells (microphytoplankton, $>20\;{\mu}m$) to total concentrations of chlorophyll $\alpha$ was higher than small cells (nanophytoplankton, $3\sim20\;{\mu}m$; picophytoplankton, $<3\;{\mu}m$) during the sampling period. Especially, large cells contributed 80% to the total chlorophyll a from February, 2004 to April 2004 when chlorophyll $\alpha$ concentrations were high. The size structure of phytoplankton shifted from micro-size class to nano-size class and picophytoplankton rapidly increased when phytoplankton biomass decreased in May 2004. Microphytoplankton exhibited a high biomass in the upper region during winter-spring season whereas nano- and picophytoplankton showed two peaks in the middle-lower regions (Station 3,5) during spring and summer. Microphytoplankton are most likely controlled by water temperature and nutrient supply during the cold season whereas nano- and picophytoplankton may be affected by stratification, light exposure during the warm season.

This study selected five observational stations in the normal direction of Jinu-do(island) shoreline and observed water temperature, electrical conductivity and pressure from March, 2012 to January, 2013(about 11 months) and attempted to see the variation characteristics of ground watertable. This study wants to know : 1) External environment force factors(tide, climate, wave etc.) affecting ground watertable variation through time series and correlation analysis. 2) Spatial variations of ground watertable and electrical conductivity change by storm event. First, we found that the station at the intertidal zone was strongly affected by wave and tide level and the stations at sand dune and vegetation zone was affected by precipitation and tide level through time series data and correlation analysis. Second, during the storm event, we found that ground watertable and electrical conductivity are stabilized at the start line of sand dune and vegetation zone and transition zone between freshwater layer and seawater layer exists in the experiment area and is about 50~70 m from coastline of the south side of Jinu-do(island).

This study is characterized the groundwater flow pattern near crystalline site of Yangbook-Myeon, Gyeong-ju City, South Korea. From the time series analyses, groundwater level could be classified into 4 types reflecting the hydrogeological characteristics and rainfall pattern. The type I (DB1-1, DB1-2) may be directly influenced by rainfall pattern. The type II (DB1-3, DB1-7, KB-1, KB-2, KB-3, KB-7, KB-14, KB-15) may be influenced by rainfall event as well as groundwater flow through water-conducting features. The type III (DB-5, DB1-6, DB2-2, KB-10, KB-11, KB-13) may be predominantly happens in the crystaline rock mass, groundwater in this type flows through the minor fracture networks rather than direct effect of rainfall event. The type IV (DB1-8, KB-9) may be influenced by irregular variation of the groundwater level due to anisotropy and heterogeneity of crystalline rock.

Phytoplankton community structure is one of the indicators that can explain the enviromnental characteristics of coastal waters. In this study, phytoplankton community structure and water quality of aquaculture area were investigated for understanding regional enviromnental characteristics. Thirty stations in aquaculture areas of Tongyeong, southeast coast of Korea, were investigated monthly from January to December, 2009. Phytoplankton community, meteorologic dada and enviromnent factors including temperature, salinity, transparency, nutrients and chlorophyll a were also examined. Chaetoceros spp. and unidentified small flagellates were dominant species in all the year round. Pseudo-nitzschia spp., Dictyocha spp., and Nitzschia longissima were dominant in June to October being summer season, and Skeletonema costatum, Thalassiosira spp., Eucamphia zodiacus, Akashiwo sanguinea, Gymnodinium spp. and Asterionella japonicus appeared as dominant species in the rest of months. Dinoflagellate blooms occurred 3 times in near Hansan Bay and around Saryang-do, and the highest chlorophyll a was found in Hansan Bay. Species diversity of phytoplankton was lower in Hansan and Womnum Bay, and diatom was more abundant than dinoflagellates in Mireuk-do waters. These results showed that phytoplankton community varied by the seasonal and geographical characteristics, and recent increase of water temperature and heavy rain may affect on phytoplankton community structure.

Many regions around the world are vulnerable to rainfall-induced slope failures. A variety of methods have been proposed for revealing the mechanism of slope failure initiation. Current analysis methods, however, do not consider the effects of non-homogeneous soil profiles and variable hydraulic responses on rainfall-induced slope failures. In this study, probabilistic stability analyses were conducted for weathered residual soil slopes with different soil thickness overlying impermeable bedrock to study the rainfall-induced failure mechanisms depending on the soil thickness. A series of seepage and stability analyses of an infinite slope based on one-dimensional random fields were performed to consider the effects of uncertainty due to the spatial heterogeneity of hydraulic conductivity on the failure of unsaturated slopes due to rainfall infiltration. The results showed that a probabilistic framework can be used to efficiently consider various failure patterns caused by spatial variability of hydraulic conductivity in rainfall infiltration assessment for a infinite slope.

하천유지유량에 대한 인식과 개념은 시대와 사회, 경제의 발전에 따라 변화되어 새로운 물 배분 패러다임에 입각한 하천유지유량이 정립되고 있다. 우리나라에서 하천유지유량의 필요성이 제기되기 시작한 것은 댐 건설 이후부터이며, 하구의 염수침입을 방지하기 위해 하천에서 기본적으로 유지되어야 할 필요수량을 정하면서 부터이다. 실제적인 하천유역의 관리에서 댐 건설 이전에는 하천의 유량을 조절할 수 있는 능력이 거의 없었기 때문에 하천유지유량의 설정 자체가 크게 의미를 갖지 못하였다. 우리나라 하천유지유량의 주요 기능은 1960년대 이전에는 하천의 주운기능, 1970년대는 하구의 염수침입방지 기능, 1980년대는 수질보전을 위한 희석용수의 기능으로 인식되었으며, 1990년대 이후 환경에 대한 인식 변화로 수질과 함께 하천생태계 보전의 필요성이 증가하여 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔고, 2000년대에 들어서는 자연환경을 중심으로 하는 하천유지유량과는 별도의 용수개념인 사회환경 개선을 위한 환경개선용수의 도입의 필요성이 제기되고 있다. 하천유지유량에서 고려하는 항목은 갈수량을 기준으로 하고 하천기능 유지에 필요한 하천생태 및 하천수질 보전을 기본항목으로 하여 고려하도록 하며, 현실적으로 하천유지유량 산정 검토시 부수적인 미미한 비중을 차지하고 있는 하천경관, 하구막힘 방지, 지하수위 유지, 하천시설물 보호, 염수침입 방지 등의 항목은 필요항목으로 구분하되 하천 상황에 따라 추가적인 항목에 대한 검토가 필요한 경우 감안할 수 있도록 하였다. 갈수량의 산정은 반드시 유역 개발과 각종 유수사용, 수공구조물에 의한 유량 조절 효과가 없는 자연상태를 기준으로 산정하도록 하고 어류생태를 고려한 필요유량 산정 시 대표어종은 하천의 특성을 고려하고 지역사회의 의견을 수렴하여 단일어종보다는 생태적 군(Guild, 군(群))을 고려하여 선정하고 최소유량의 개념보다는 계절별 유량변동성을 고려하도록 하였다. 수질보전에 필요한 필요유량 산정 목표는 생태계 서식 및 생육 환경의 보전과 인간의 물 이용 측면에서 요구되는 목표수질을 구분하여 적용하도록 하였다. 하천유지유량 이외에 친수공간 확보, 물놀이, 관광, 하천문화행사 등 사회환경 개선을 위해 하천의 일부구간 또는 일부지역에 필요한 수량은 이를 이용하고자 하는 수혜대상 집단(지자체, 특정 기관 또는 개인 등)의 요구에 의해 발생되는 수량이므로 환경개선용수로 분류하여 별도로 산정하도록 하였다.

Halophila ovalis (R. Br.) Hook. fil. was first collected from the Ando, Yeosu, Korea in 2007. H. ovalis is Widely distributed from sub-tropical to even tropical areas and produces the seeds using bisexual reproduction. Its leaf shape was oblong to ovate. Its leaf blades were rigid in texture, with a strong support to the leaf. Erect shoots arose at irregular intervals along the rhizome. The distance between the intramarginal vein and leaves margin was small. Nucleotides in ITS 1 and ITS 2 regions between the Korean and Japanese H. ovalis were found to be 100% similar, whereas Korean H. ovalis was found to have four nucleotides in the positions of 202 bp to 206 bp for 5.8S. In the analysis of the phylogenetic relationship using NJ method, Korean H. ovalis had a monophyletic genetic tree with Japanese H. ovalis, but no phylogenetic relationship with types from the Philippines, Australia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The first occurrence of H. ovalisin Korea was associated with a strong migration of gene flow from Japan and high water temperature caused by the variations in climate.

By far, groundwater management has been conducted by 'safe yield' policy based on the estimation of annual average of groundwater recharge throughout the world. However, as groundwater recharge show spatiotemporal variation, dynamic analysis must be carried out to evaluate the sustainable groundwater resources. In this study, an integrated surface-groundwater model, SWAT-MODFLOW was used to compute the spatial distribution of groundwater recharge in Gyungju region. Frequency analysis is adopted to evaluate the existing values of potential amount of groundwater development which is made by the 10 year drought frequency rainfall multiplied by recharge coefficient. The conservative methods for estimating recharge rates of 10 year drought frequency in subbains are newly suggested and compared with the existing values of potential amount of groundwater development. This process will promote the limitations for existing precesses used for computing potential amount of groundwater development.

Information collection systems and applications in a ubiquitous environment has emerged as a leading issue in transportation and logistics. A productive application example is a traffic information collection system based on probe vehicles and wireless communication technology. Estimation of hourly OD pairs using probe OD data is a possible target. Since probe OD data consists of sample OD pairs, which vary over time and space, computation of sample rates of OD pairs and expansion of sample OD pairs into static OD pairs is required. In this paper, the authors proposed a method to estimate sample OD data with probe data in Jeju City and expand those into static OD data. Mean absolute percentage difference (MAPD) error between observed traffic volume and assigned traffic volume was about 22.9%. After removing abnormal data, MAPD error improved to 17.6%. Development of static OD estimation methods using probe vehicle data in a real environment is considered the main contribution of this paper.

지금까지 이수유량의 산정은 공급의 안정성을 보장하고자 보수적인 관리체계를 유지해왔다. 시공간적 하천유량의 변동에도 최대 용수수요를 만족할 수 있게끔 기준갈수량을 기준으로 이수유량을 산정하였다. 이는 공급의 안정성은 보장되나 연중 동일 기준을 적용하여 홍수기와 같이 물량이 많은 경우에 있어서 추가적인 유량사용이 불가능하였다. 이에 따라 기존 방법의 단점을 보완하고 시 공간적인 하천유량의 변화를 고려하여 가용수량을 확보하며 물사용 효율성을 증대시킬 수 있는 방안 모색이 필요하다. 이에 선행 연구인 시 공간적 유량변화를 반영한 탄력적인 하천수 사용허가 기준유량 설정방법에서는 홍수기/이수기, 관개기/비관개기를 고려하여 4개의 기간 구분하였다. 본 연구에서는 이수기/홍수기 구분을 제외하고 시기별 변화가 큰 농업용수 사용 시기를 기준으로 관개기/비관개기만을 고려하여 이수 유량의 산정방안을 검토하였으며, 이를 통해 각 기간별로 안정적인 공급이 가능한 기준유량 산정방법을 제시하여 기존의 방법을 개선하고자 한다. 위방법론을 적용한 결과, 기간별 탄력적인 기준유량의 산정으로 수량확보시설을 설치하지 않고 관리기준을 변경하는 것만으로 금호강 유역에서는 약 56.6백만$m^3$/년, 내성천 유역에서는 약 43.4백만$m^3$/년의 유량을 확보 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 추가적인 인프라를 구축하지 않고 관리기준을 변경하는 것만으로 가용유량의 추가 확보가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 탄력적 이수유량 산정 방법을 통해 확보된 수량은 신규 수원 확보 사업의 추진 및 이를 위한 예산 확보 등의 정책적인 어려움을 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 될 수 있으며, 또한 용수공급 안정도를 유지하면서 하천수의 효율적인 활용에도 기여할 수 있다.
