하천의 수질을 나타내는 환경지표 중 국가 TMS(Tele Monitoring system)의 수질측정망을 통해 관리되고 있는 지표로는 DO, BOD, COD, SS, TN, TP 등 여러 인자들이 있다. 이러한 수질인자는 하천의 자정작용에 있어 많은 영향을 나타내고 있다. 이를 활용한 경제적이고 합리적인 수질관리를 위해 하천의 자정작용을 활용하는 것이 중요하다. 생물학적 작용을 가장 효과적으로 활용하기 위해서는 수질오염 데이터에 기초한 수질예측을 채택하여 적절한 대책이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 수질인자의 데이터를 측정하고 축적해 수질오염을 예측하는 것이 필수적인데, 실제적으로 수질인자의 일일 측정은 비용 관점에서 쉽게 접근할 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 시계열 학습으로 알려진 RNN-LSTM(Recurrent Neural Network-Long Term Memory) 알고리즘을 활용하여 기존에 측정된 수질인자의 데이터를 통해 시간당 및 일일 수질인자를 예측하려고 했다. 연구에 앞서, 기존에 시간단위로 측정된 수질인자 데이터의 이상 유무를 확인 후, 에러값은 제거하고 12시간 이하 데이터가 누락되었을 때는 선형 보간하여 데이터를 사용하고, 1일 데이터도 10일 이하 데이터가 누락되었을 때 선형 보간하여 데이터를 활용하여 수질인자를 예측하였다. 수질인자를 예측하기 위해 구글이 개발한 딥러닝 오픈소스 라이브러리인 텐서플로우를 활용하였고, 연구지역으로는 대한민국 부산에 위치한 온천천의 유역을 선정하였다. 수질인자 데이터 수집은 부산광역시에서 운영하는 보건환경정보 공개시스템의 자료를 활용하였다. 모델의 연구를 위해 하천의 수질인자, 기상자료 데이터를 입력자료로 활용하였다. 분석에서는 입력자료와, 반복횟수, 시계열의 길이 등을 조절해 수질 요인을 예측했고, 모델의 정확도도 분석하였다.

Thermal effluent of the hot spring has long been a field of interest in the relationship between temperature gradient and freshwater algae in geology, limnology and aquatic ecology throughout the world. On the other hand, many artificial hot springs have been developed in Korea, but the research on them has not been still active. This study was performed every month from December 2015 to September 2016, to elucidate the spatiotemporal effects of thermal wastewater effluent (TWE) on the ecosystem of benthic algal assemblage in four stations(BSU (upstream), HSW (hot spring wastewater outlet), BSD1~2 (downstream)) of the upstream reach of the Buso Stream, a tributary located in the Hantan River basin. During the survey, the influencing distance of temperature on TWE was <1.0 km, and it was the main source of N P nutrients at the same time. The effects of TWE were dominant at low temperature and dry season (December~March), but it was weak at high temperature and wet season (July~September), reflecting some seasonal characteristics. Under these circumstances, the attached algal communities were identified to 59 genera and 143 species. Of these, the major phylum included 21 genera 83 species of diatoms(58.0%), 9 genera 21 species of blue-green algae (14.7%) and 25 genera 32 species of green algae (22.4%), respectively. The spatiotemporal distribution of them was closely related to water temperature ($5^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$) and current ($0.2m\;s^{-1}$ and $0.8m\;s^{-1}$). In the basic environment maintaining a high water temperature throughout the year round, the flora favoring high affinity to $PO_4$ in the water body or preferring stream habitat of abundant $NO_3-PO_4$ was dominant. As a result, when compared with the outcomes of previous algal ecology studies conducted in Korea, the Buso Stream was evaluated as a serious polluted state due to persistent excess nutrient supply and high thermal pollution throughout the year round by TWE. It can be regarded as a dynamic ecosystem in which homogeneity (Summer~Autumn) and heterogeneity (Winter~Spring) are repeated between upstream and downstream.

The sewage and wastewater (SAW) are a well-known major source of eutrophication and greentide in freshwaters and also a potential source of thermal pollution; however, there were few approaches to thermal effluent of SAW in Korea. This study was performed to understand the behavioral dynamics of the thermal effluents and their effects on the water quality of the connected streams during winter season, considering domestic sewage, industrial wastewater and hot spring wastewater from December 2015 to February 2016. Sampling stations were selected the upstream, the outlet of SAW, and the downstream in each connected stream, and the water temperature change was monitored toward the downstream from the discharging point of SAW. The temperature effect and its range of SAW on the stream were dependent not only on the effluent temperature and quantity but also on the local air temperature, water temperature and stream discharge. The SAW effects on the stream water temperature were observed with temperature increase by $2.1{\sim}5.8^{\circ}C$ in the range of 1.0 to 5.5 km downstream. Temperature effect was the greatest in the hot spring wastewater despite of small amount of effluent. The SAW was not only related to temperature but also to the increase of organic matter and nutrients in the connected stream. The industrial wastewater effluent was discharged with high concentration of nitrogen, while the hot spring wastewater was high in both phosphorus and nitrogen. The difference between these cases was due to with and without chemical T-P treatment in the industrial and the hot spring wastewater, respectively. The chlorophyll-a content of the attached algae was high at the outlet of SAW and the downstream reach, mostly in eutrophic level. These ecological results were presumably due to the high water temperature and phosphorus concentration in the stream brought by the thermal effluents of SAW. These results suggest that high temperature of the SAW needs to be emphasized when evaluating its effects on the stream water quality (water temperature, fertility) through a systematized spatial and temporal investigation.

The Baegdusan volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in northeastern Asia, and the 10th century eruption was the most voluminous eruption in the world in recent 2,000 years. During the period from 2002 to 2005, volcanic earthquakes and abnormal surface distortions by suspected subsurface magma intrusion beneath the volcano were observed in the Baegdusan area. Seismic activity has gradually increased with earthquake swarms during 2002-2003 and hundreds of seismic event in a day, especially annual peak of 2,100 in 2003. Then the number of seismic activity has declined since 2006 to the background level in 1999-2001. According to the typical frequency of volcanic earthquakes in the Baegdusan volcano, the frequency distribution of typical volcanic earthquakes between 2002 and 2005 indicates that all the main frequency of the earthquakes basically falls down less than 5 Hz and 5-10 Hz. These events are all the VT-B and LP events caused by the shallow localized fracture and intrusion of magma. The horizontal displacement measurement by GPS during the period from 2000 to 2007 of the Baegdusan stratovolcano area indicates that an inflated process has been centered at the summit caldera since 2002. The displacement between 2002 and 2003 reached at a maximum value of 4 cm. After 2003, the deformation rate of the volcano continued to decrease with unusual variation during the period from 2006 to 2007. After 2003 the vertical displacement uplift rate falls down gradually but still keeps in an uplift trend in northern slope. It is generally believed that when $^3He/^4He(R)$ in a gas sample from a hot spring exceeds $^3He/^4He(R)$ in the atmosphere, it can be concluded that mantle-source. And temperatures of hot springs are rising steadily to $83^{\circ}C$. It is unrest signals at the Baegdusan, which is potentially active. The Baegdusan volcano is now in unrest status, there is eruption threat in the near future. Intensified monitoring and emergency response plan for volcanic risk mitigation are urgent for the volcano.

Increase of impervious area caused by overdevelopment has led to increase of runoff and then the problem of flooding and NPS were brought up. In addition, as decrease of base flow made groundwater level to decline, a stream that dries up is issued. low impact development (LID) method which is possible to mimic hydrological water cycle, minimize the effect of development, and improve water cycle structure is proposed as an alternative. As introduction of LID in domestic increases, the study on small watershed is in process mainly. Also, analysis of property of hydrological runoff and load on midsize watershed, like sewage treatment district, is required, the study on it is still insufficient. So, area applying LID practices from watershed of Dongrae stream is pinpointed and made the ratio and then expand it to watershed of Oncheon stream. Among low impact development practices, Green Roof, Porous Pavement, and Bio- retention are selected for the application considering domestic situations and simulated with SWMM-LID model of each watershed and improvement of water cycle and reduction of non-point pollution loads was analysed. Improvement of water cycle and reduction of non-point pollution loads were analyzed including the property of rainfall and soil over long term simulation. The model was executed according to scenario based on combination of LID as changing conductivity in accordance with soil type of the watershed. Also, this study evaluated area of LID application that meets the efficiency of conventional management as a criteria for area of LID practices applying to sewer treatment district by comparing the efficiency of LID application with that of conventional method.

Water levels of thermal groundwater ($>30^{\circ}C$) were recorded from March 2002 to June 2006 at several monitoring wells within the Yuseong spa area. Using these data, we elucidated the long-term cyclic fluctuations of thermal groundwater levels with 1 year period. We also observed a noticeable water level variation with periods of 0.5, 1 and 7 days in most monitoring wells, which indicates relatively good hydraulic connectivity within the main hotspring area. By comparing water level variations among several wells, we found out that E-W and N-S trending geological structures should be an important control factor for emplacement and flow of thermal groundwater in the study area. It may be also inferred that geothermal source is highly associated with the hydraulic connectivity of aquifers at the Yuseong spa area.

기후변화의 영향으로 인하여 가뭄의 발생이 잦아지고 그 기간은 늘어나고 있다. 특히 2015년에는 충남 서부 지역에 제한급수가 실시되는 등의 피해가 발생하였으며, 올해에도 일부 지역에 가뭄 피해가 예상되고 있다. 이에 따라 가뭄에 대비하기 위한 방안의 하나로, 해수담수화 및 지하수와 같은 대체 수자원 개발의 요구가 높아지고 있다. 특히 지하수의 경우에는 단기간에 최소한의 비용으로 안전한 용수(用水)를 확보할 수 있다는 측면에서 그 효용성이 높다. 그러나 지하수 역시 지표수와 마찬가지로 한정된 자원이며 생성과정에 상당한 시일이 걸린다는 점을 고려할 때, 그 활용을 위해서는 다음과 같은 정책적 고려가 필요해 보인다. 우리나라 지하수는 개별법에 따라 5개 중앙부처 및 지자체에서 소관업무별로 관리하고 있어, 체계적 관리와 자료의 통합 연계에 어려움이 있다. 또한 기본법 성격을 지닌 "지하수법"에서도 지하수 관리 등에 대해 다른 법률에 특별한 규정이 있는 경우에는 해당 법률에 따르도록 규정하여(법 제4조), 합리적 제도 개선에 한계가 있다. "온천법" 등 타법에 의한 지하수 개발 이용관련 인허가 사항을 "지하수법"으로 일원화하여 기본법으로의 역할을 강화하고, 지역별 사업별 관리는 개별 계획을 수립하도록 하는 등 체계적인 지하수의 개발 보전 정책이 필요하다. 국내 지하수 사용은 주로 관정(管井) 개발을 통해 이루어지는데, 무분별한 신규 관정의 개발은 지하수 고갈, 지반침하(sink hole)와 더불어 지하수의 수질 악화를 야기할 수 있다. 관정 개발의 실패로 발생하는 실패공은 노후 관정 및 폐관정과 더불어 방치되는 경우가 많은데, 오염물질 유입으로 지하수를 오염시키는 주요 원인으로 작용한다. 오염된 지하수는 지표수에 비하여 수질을 복원하는데 오랜 시일과 노력이 필요하므로, 사용하지 않는 불용공(不用孔)을 원상 복구하는 등 지하수의 개발에서 사후조치에 이르기까지의 체계적인 관리가 필요하다. 국토교통부는 지하수에 대한 체계적인 관리를 위해, '지하수 기초조사', '지하수 수위변동 실태조사' 및 '지하수시설 전수조사'를 실시하고 있다. 그런데 지하수 기초조사는 "지하수법" 제5조에 근거하여 1997년부터 실시되고 있으나, 예산 및 인력 부족 등으로 20여년이 지난 지금까지도 조사가 마무리되지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 한편 지하수 수위변동 실태조사는 "지하수법" 제17조 등에 근거하여 시행되고 있는 반면, 지하수시설 전수조사는 근거 법률이 마련되어 미비하다. 지하수시설 전수조사는 전국의 모든 관정, 집수정(集水井), 지하댐(underground dam) 등의 지하수 시설을 대상으로 실시되므로, 조사의 방법, 대상, 시행 절차 및 주기 등에 대한 규정 마련을 통해 관련 자료를 지속적으로 보완 관리할 필요가 있다.

비점오염의 특성에 대해 지속적으로 연구 중이지만 수문특성과 연관성이 크다 보니 그 일관성에 대해 확실한 기법이 개발되지 않았다. 기법 개발과 효과적인 오염원 관리를 위해 SWMM 등의 모형을 활용하고 있지만 투입된 노력과 시간에 비해 그 효율성이 매우 적은 편이다. 이런 부분을 보완하고자 본 논문에서는 기존의 비점오염량 산정방법이 아니라 낙동강유역의 도시화 특성 및 수문/기상자료와 처리장 운영자료를 활용한 차별화된 원단위법을 통해 비점 배출 부하량 산정방법을 제시하려고 한다. 배수구역 내 관거 시스템을 합류식으로 가정하였고 배수구역별 비점 발생형태는 하수처리장의 강우 유입량, 하수처리장의 우회유량(Bypass 유량), 하수처리구역의 CSO 유량 3가지로 구분 지었다. 유입 방류자료와 강우자료를 활용하여 임계강우량을 3mm로 설정하여 3mm이상일 경우에 우회유량이 발생한다고 가정하였고 우회유량 발생시 오염부하량 산정은 건기평균유량에 유량변동부하율을 곱하여 시간최대유량으로 전환한 후 강우 지속기간 동안만 우회유량이 발생하는 것으로 가정하였다. CSO 유량은 처리구역/배수구역 면적비에 따라 3개의 그룹으로 구분한 뒤 검증된 SWMM-온천천 모형의 각 소유역별 불투수면적비와 비교하여 유사한 소유역을 각 그룹의 대표유역으로 선정하였다. 선정된 소유역의 CSO 유량과 수문현상의 비선형적인 관계를 고려할 수 있는 신경망 기법을 적용하여 강우특성에 따른 CSO 오염부하량 산정을 실시하였다. 산정결과를 바탕으로 각 하수처리장별 비점저감 기여율을 산정한 결과 대구북부 처리장에서 21.56%로 가장 높은 효율을 보여줬으며 거창가조 지점에서 0.11%로 가장 낮은 효율을 보여주는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 낙동강유역 내 위치한 하수처리장의 효율성에 대해 알 수 있으며 개선되어야 할 처리장들을 알 수 있었다. 또한 획일화된 방법이 아닌 차별화된 원단위법을 통한 오염부하량 산정은 앞으로의 연구방향에 있어서 좋은 사례가 될 것으로 사료된다.

This study presented how to evaluate the inland inundation risk considering the characteristics of inland flood. Fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), which can deal with the uncertainty or ambiguousness of the decision-making process, was used to estimate the inundation risk. The criteria used for inland inundation risk include the physical index, social index and inland flood. Each index contains three detailed indicators then total nine indicators were employed in this study. The inundation risk evaluation was carried out for each node (manhole) within the drainage system, not to the administrative extent, which enabled us to point out nodes with high risk. The proposed Fuzzy AHP was applied to Geoje district in Busan. The results indicated that the junction of Oncheoncheon and Geojecheon has high risk which is consistent with the fact that this junction has already experienced floods in the past. The proposed method can be used for evaluating inland inundation risk and preparing flood prevention plans in inland flood-prone urban areas.

This study illustrates changes in the epilithic diatom assemblages in response to urban climatic conditions. We further assess the impact of abnormal urban climate to the urban stream environment. Epilithic diatoms, water chemical and physical variables were sampled every quarter, and assessed at 3 Oncheon stream sites, for a period of two years(from 2013~2014). The variation of physiochemical properties such as BOD, COD, T-N and T-P, show that the water quality was strongly influenced with long periods of drought and flood disturbance. Epilithic diatom assemblages were separated along the stream sites; however, the physical disturbance from urban drought and stormwater changed the composition of diatom assemblages instead of decreasing the taxonomic richness. Thus, our results suggest that epilithic diatom assemblages are altered in response to urban climatic changes, resulting in variations of stream conditions. Hence, strategies of climate change adaptation are required when considering urban stream environments.
