For effective management of water quality on the southern coast of korea, a three-dimensional eco-hydrodynamic model is used to predict water quality in summer and to estimate the reduction rate in pollutant loads that would be required to restore water quality. Under the current environmental conditions, in particular, pollutant loadings to the study area were very high, chemical oxygen demand (COD) exceeded seawater quality criteria to comply with current legislation, and water quality was in a eutrophic condition. Therefore, we estimated reduction rates of current pollutant loads by modeling. The model reproduced reasonably the flow field and water quality of the study area. If the terrestrial COD, inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus loads were reduced by 90%, the water quality criteria of Region A were still not satisfied. However, when the nutrient loads from polluted sediment and land were each reduced by 70% simultaneously, COD and $Chl-{\alpha}$ were restored. When we reduced the input COD and nutrient loads from the Nakdong River by 80%, $Chl-{\alpha}$ and COD of Region B decreased below $10\;{\mu}g\;1^{-1}$ and $2\;mg\;1^{-1}$, respectively. The water quality criteria of Region C were satisfied when we reduced the terrestrial COD and nutrient loads by 70%. Total allowable loadings of COD and inorganic nutrients in each region were determined by multiplying the reduction rates by current pollutant loads. Estimated high reduction rates, although difficult to achieve at the present time under the prevailing environmental conditions, suggest that water pollution is very severe in this study area, and pollutant loads must be reduced within total allowable loads by continuous and long-term management. To achieve the reduction in pollutant loads, sustainable countermeasures are necessary, including the expansion of sewage and wastewater facilities, polluted sediment control and limited land use.

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 has examined the water quality environment of six areas in the mid-southern coastal waters of Korea in order to find the significance between water quality and algal blooms of the area, based on the last 17 years of data offered by the National Fisheries Research and Development Institute. Water temperature in these areas fluctuated with a three to five year of period, and revealed little yearly variations at the surface layer while slowly decreasing at the bottom layer. On the other hand, salinity tended to increase both the surface and bottom layers. Algal blooms had a tendency to decrease in their outbreaks and causative species, with a peak of the middle of 1990s. C. polykrikoides prevailed in the entire areas, and in particular, almost annually appeared in Goheung coastal area since 1995. C. polykrikoides blooms occurred when a mean water temperature was approximately $26^{\circ}C$, and salinities were between 31.00 and 31.50 but exceptionally 28.68 in Yeosu Coast. However, the concentrations of DIN, DIP, TN, TP, including DO, turned out not to be such significant factors for the outbreaks of C. polykrikoides blooms. Therefore, water temperature was judged as the most controlling factor for the outbreak of C. polykrikoides blooms.

천수만의 수리 역학 및 수질 모델을 위하여 3차원 수리역학 모델(EFDC)과 21개 수질 변수에 대한 수질 모델이 접합된 3차원 수리역학-부영양화 모델(HEM-3D)을 이용하였다. 관측 자료에 대한 모델 검증 결과, 조위는 관측치에 비해 5% 정도, 유속은 10% 정도 작은 값을 보였으며, 지각은 모델 결과치가 고정항에서 늦고 간월도에서 빠르게 나타났다. 수질 항목, 특히 용존산소의 관측치에 나타난 전반적인 분포 양상을 잘 재현하고 있었으며, 항목별 기여도 분석에서는 수질 모델이 퇴적물에 의한 산소 소비에 민감하게 반응하고 있으며, 용존산소 변화에 있어서 퇴적물에 의한 영향이 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 보여주었다. 본 모델 결과는 기존의 모델들과 비교하여 천수만 해역의 해수 유동 특성을 잘 재현하고 있으며, 본 모델과 연계된 수질 모델의 오염물 확산과 수질 항목들의 거동을 이해할 수 있는 정보를 제공하였다. 그럼에도 불구하고 본 연구를 통하여 나타난 문제점은, 수질 예측 모델에 필요한 수질 변수들의 관측 자료와 양식장에 의한 오염 부하량 자료가 충분하지 못하며, 퇴적물에 의한 수질 변화를 정량화할 수 있는 모델의 개발이 시급하다는 것이다. 특히 퇴적물에 의한 산소 요구량은 유기퇴적물이 미생물 등에 의해 분해되는 과정에서 요구되는 산소량으로서, 해수 유동 조건의 변화와 오염부하에 의한 유기퇴적물의 집적이 주된 요인이다. 방조제 건설 이후 해수유동 조건의 변화와 더불어 지속적으로 오염물이 유입되고, 담수 및 천수만의 수질이 점점 악화되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 오염부하와 퇴적물에 대한 관리대책이 시급한 것으로 판단되며, 향후 정확한 수질 예측을 위해서는 본 연구에서 나타난 문제점들에 대한 재고가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Long-term trends and distribution patterns of water quality were investigated in the Garolim coastal areas of Yellow Sea, Korea from 1998 to 2007. Water samples were collected at 3 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 were not clear among stations but the seasonal variations were distinct except pH and ammonia. The trend analysis by principal component analysis(PCA) during twenty years revealed the significant variations in water quality in the study area. Annual water qualities were clearly classified into 4 clusters by PCA; year cluster 1997, 1998 and 2000-2002, 1999 and 2003-2006/2008. By this multi-variate analysis the annual trends were summarized as follows; In recent years, salinity increased, whereas dissolved inorganic nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and COD decreased and water quality generally continued to be in good condition in Gsrolim coastal areas without inflow of freshwater from land. Garolim coastal areas are required to be conserved continuously as important coastal areas for fisheries.

In this study, we estimated the seasonal fluctuations of water quality and effect of small tide embankment in coastal water around the Muan Peninsula, which is located in the northern part of Mokpo city, and layer farming ground is spread around there. Some physical and chemical factors were analyzed to characterize water quality from Jan. to Oct. in 1994. The results were as follows: Dissolved oxygen was slightly under saturation in the almost areas of July, and in some bottom layer at ebb tide of October. Distribution of COD showed high values that over 2㎎/L in October and flood tide of April by the discharge of freshwater and resuspension of benthic sediment, which exceeded water quality criteria II. Maximum values of dissolved inorganic nitrogen ware appeared in surface layer during the flood tide of October, while minimum of that showed in surface layer in April. Concentration of dissolved inorganic phosphorus was higher at July than the others, which ranged from 0.24 to 2.08㎍-at/L. Mostly mean values of N/P ratio were lower than 16, it mean that nitrogen is more limiting nutrient than phosphorus for the growth of phytoplankton. The values of eutrophication index were in the range of 0.07~0.81. However, very high values due to increase of COD were estimated near the tide embankment and southern part in relation to tidal current in October. Water quality around tide embankment was suddenly changed worse within a short period after opening the water gate during the rainfall.

Nutrients and principal ions contents in downstream water of the Han River, near Seoul, measured at somewhat three week intervals over a period of two years were shown its characteristic seasonal cycles. The annual ranges of nutrients were 0.5-7.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$ at/L of ammonia, 0.12-0.90 $\mu\textrm{g}$ at/L of nitrite, 2.9-35.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$ at/L of nitrate, 8.8-42.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$ at/L of tatal soluble nitrogen, 0.09-0.57 $\mu\textrm{g}$ at/L of phosphorus, and 3.0-15.3 mg/L of silicate, and these were lower in spring and fall closely correlate with phytoplankton blooms and higher in winter except ammonia and silicate contents. Annual variations of BOD and COD were 0.10-2.14 ml/L, 0.88-6.82 mg/L, respectively. The ionic concentrations of Cl, Ca and Mg were not high of which Cl 5.0-13.1 mg/L, Ca 3.7-9.1 mg/L and Mg 1.5-10.4 mg/L of annual ranges. Fe ranged 18.5-82.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L, Mn 15-58 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L, Cu 0.3-4.7 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L annually In general, the Han River water is low in nutrients, mineral contents, and may be said not yet polluted, excellent quantity and quality of river water.

The field surveys and the seawater analyses were conducted over the southern waters of Cheju island every month from July 1997 to June 1988. The distributions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN), dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP), chemical oxygen demand(COD) and dissolved oxygen(DO) in the southern water area of Cheju island were simulated and reproduced by an ecosystem model. In order to estimate the environmental capacity of the southern coastal area of Cheju island, the simulations for predicting the situation of unfavorable environment in which marine water quality might not be satisfied with Korean standards were performed with an ecosystem model by controlling quantitatively the pollution loads of discharge sources including streams flowing into the sea. The more the loads of 4 major pollution sources flowing into model region increase, the more evident appear the increases of COD, DIN and DIP concentrations around the water areas adjacent to pollution sources. In case the pollution loads of all 4 discharge sources including streams become 3 times as high as the present loads, the concentration of DIN at near-shore waters appears to be increased to about 14.5mmol/m³(=0.20mg/ℓ) which is the third class criterion of Korean standards for marine water quality. In case of 10 times as high as the present loads, COD at near-shore waters appears to be increased to about 1.0mg/ℓ which is the first class criterion of Korean standards. In case of 20 times as high as the present loads, DIP at near-shore waters appears to be increased to about 0.50mmol/m³(=0.015mg/ℓ) which is the second class criterion of Korean standards.
