The reproductive ecology of freshwater bivalve, Unio douglasiae in Lake Uiam were examined from March 2014 to February 2015. The gonads distributed in reticular connective tissue, the dioecious clams take an internal fertilization and fertilized eggs are stored in the foster-sack in the gills, then the hatched juveniles are released outside after an ovoviviparous process. The gonad index (GI) began to increase in April, reached the maximum value in July and to decrease in August. The reproductive cycle of U. douglasiae can be divided into five successive stages: multiplicative stage (November to January), growing stage (February to March), mature stage (February to May), spawning stage (April to September), recovery stage (August to December). The spawning periods were from April to September, and the main spawning occurred between April and July. The shell length at 50% group maturity was estimated to be 29.4 mm.

Euiam and Paldang Reservoirs have often been facing water quality problems, such as eutrophication, algal blooms and off-flavors by treated wastewater effluent (TWE) in the North-Han and the Han River basins, but little is examined on the direct biological effect of TWE. This study tested algal growth potential (AGP) of four TWEs discharged into Euiam and Paldang Reservoirs to evaluate water fertility in September 2014 and March and September 2015. Test alga was used Anabaena circinalis isolated from Paldang Reservoir. Mean concentration of T-N and T-P in TWEs was $3,956.7{\mu}g\;N\;L^{-1}$ and $50.8{\mu}g\;P\;L^{-1}$, and the proportion of $NO_3-N$ and $PO_4-P$ to the total fraction was 72.1% and 40.8%, respectively. Both N and P were high in TWEs, but much higher N than P concentration indicates strong P-limitation. As a consequence, the maximum AGP was determined by $PO_4-P$ concentration (r=0.998, p<0.01). Mean AGP value was $15.4mg\;dw\;L^{-1}$ among four effluents indicating its eutrophic condition. Due to the establishment of tertiary (advanced T-P) treatment method in the studied plants recently, P concentration was significantly decreased in TWEs compared to the years prior to 2012. However, P concentration seems to be still high enough to cause eutrophication and algal blooms. Therefore, wastewater treatment to P-free level needs to be considered if effluents are directly discharged into the drinking water resources.

To evaluate the relationship between dynamics of Cyanobacterial bloom and rainfalls, a monthly monitoring of water quality and phytoplankton from the three serial lakes (Lake Ui-am, Lake Chung-pyeong and Lake Pal-dang) in the North Han River System were examined 12 times from May 2012 to March 2013. A dense bloom of cyanobacterium Anabaena spp., was occurred over three lakes in the summer season of 2012. In Lake Ui-am, the Anabaena population appeared in June, showed a peak in July (43,850 cells $mL^{-1}$) and disappeared in November 2012. In Lake Chung-pyeong and Lake Pal-dang, Anabaena population commonly appeared in July, showed the peaks (31,648 cells $mL^{-1}$ and 7,136 cells $mL^{-1}$, respectively) in August, and entirely disappeared in September 2012. Over the three lakes, the phytoplankton community was commonly dominated by diatoms before Monsoon, cyanobacteria during Monsoon, and diatoms after Monsoon, respectively, indicating a Monsoon-dependent succession. A correlation analysis revealed that dynamics of Anabaena population was strongly related with rainfall (r=0.72, r=0.83, r=0.88, P<0.01 for three lakes), and partly with nutrients, inflow and outflow of lakes. Therefore, this study indicates that the outbreak and destruction of Anabaena bloom in North Han River System between 2012 and 2013 was impacted by rainfalls. However, a high density of cyanobacteria in Lake Ui-am remained after Monsoon, and thus, may paroduce bad-order and toxins from phytoplankton.

본 연구에서는 광역적 도시경관을 파악하기 위하여 수치표고모델과 토지이용 데이터를 이용한 CG화상을 작성하고 경관을 유형화하였다. 또한 각 유형의 시점장에서 도시중심에 위치한 봉의산을 시대상으로 하는 가시권 분석을 실시하였다. 춘천시의 도시경관은 3개 유형으로 분류되었다. 유형1은 개발제한구역 중심의 경관, 유형2는 녹지 중심의 경관, 그리고 유형3은 시가지와 수역을 중심으로 한 경관특성을 나타내었다. 가시권 분석의 결과, 유형1은 수역, 유형2와 유형3은 개발제한구역에서 피시빈도가 높았다. 특히. 시가지와 인접한 의암호가 경관상 중요한 곳으로 분석되었다. 또한 토지이용에서 개발제한구역이 경관상 중요한 곳에 분포하여, 개발제한구역의 해제 정도에 따라 대상지의 도시경관이 영향을 받게 될 것으로 사료된다.

The present study was designed to evaluate primary production organic matter in basin of lake around by execution of total maximum daily loading. BOD influent loading of Uiam lake was 2,819 kg/day, which was less then 28.3 percent, total effuluent loading as 3,619 kg/day, in comparision with BOD, total nitrogen influent loading was 4,681 kg/day, which was less then 10.0 percent, total effuluent loading as 5,150 kg/day. But in case of total phosphors influent loading was 73.3 kg/day, which was more then 34.2 percent, total run off loading as 48.3 kg/day. The result of survey reduction plan of primary production organic matter in basin of lake around which objectives of abstract is as follows. First plan was reduction of primary production organic matter by moving the outlet of municipal wastewater treatment center from present place to lake downstream. Secondary plan was improvement by diffusion type of outlet municipal wastewater treatment center. The third plan was reduction of environmental impact by passing and storing of municipal wastewater. Finally plan was decline water surface level which was present hydrouric retention time was reduction from 7.6 day to 6.0 day per meter.

The sequence diversity of mcyA gene involved in synthesis of microcystins was analyzed in Microcystis spp. isolated from the Korean reservoirs and in the environmental samples taken from the Daechung, Chungju, Yongdam, Soyang, and Euam Reservoirs at the cyanobacterial blooming season. It was estimated that the sequences of mcyA gene in the isolated Microcystis spp. were much conserved when compared with those in GenBank database. A few kinds of clones were dominant in the investigated environmental samples, occupying 87 to 100% of total clones. No mcyA sequences originated from Anabaena spp. or Planktothrix spp. was found. These results indicated that microcystins are produced mainly by Microcystis spp. and the sequences of mcyA genes are much conserved in the investigated Korean reservoirs.

Spawning of the bitterling, Acheilognathus yamatsutae into the mussel was studied from 1990 to 1992 in Lake Uiam, Korea. This fish preferred to spawn in certain mussel species such as Unio douglasiae, U. douglasiae sinuolatus, Lamprotula gottsehei and Anodonta arcaeformis flavotincta in order of preference. Within the same species of mussel, they preferred the larger size. Eggs and larvae were commonly located in the inner demibranch of mussels. Average number of eggs or larvae per mussel was 3.6(ranged from 1 to 35). The eggs of the bitterling were hatched out within 41 hours when water temperature remained over $20^{\circ}C$ and the larvae already possessed minute tubercles on the skin and yolk projections to prevent themselves being washed out from mussels.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the alternative measures to properly manage the water quality of Lake Euiam, Chuncheon. Current pollution level of Gongji stream (influent to Lake Euiam) and sources of contamination in Lake Euiam were investigated. Particle size, organic matter and nutrient contents, heavy metals were analyzed for sediment samples taken from lower region of Gongji stream. Average organic matter content of nine sediment samples was 5.7%, and for nitrogen and phosphorus it was 750 mg/kg and 977mg/kg, respectively. Heavy metals including aluminum, iron, manganese and zinc were measured, whereas Cd and As were not detected. Effluent from Chuncheon Wastewater Treatment Plant appeared to be one of the main cause of organic matter and nutrients level in Lake Euiam. Inhibition of primary production and consequent reduction of organic matter content within the Lake should be a key measure to protect the water quality of Lake Euiam. Preventive measures to reduce the level of nutrients in wastewater treatment effluent were found necessary.

토양침식은 지표의 토양이 바람이나 물에 의해 분리되어 이송되는 자연현상이다. 우리나라에서는 주로 물에 의한 토양침식이 발생하며 특히 단기간 집중적으로 내리는 강우에 의해 토양침식이 일어난다. 토양의 침식현상은 농경지 유실, 하공구조물에서의 퇴적토 발생, 수질 오염등 다양한 문제를 일으키며 기후변화로 인한 집중강우의 빈도 및 강도 증가는 토양침식에 의한 피해를 증가 시키고 있다. 이러한 문제를 파악하기 위해 경험적 방법에 의해 개발된 범용토양유실공식인 USLE 모형이 널리 사용되고 있으나 연간 토양침식량을 산정하기 위해 개발된 USLE모형은 강우기간이 짧고 강우강도가 높은 집중호우와 같은 단기 강우사상을 모의할 수 없고 모든 지역을 표현하는 데 한계가 있다. 이에 따라 단기 강우사상을 고려할 수 있는 물리기반 침식모형인 SSEM모형을 활용하였다. SSEM모형은 운동파 방정식의 수치해석과 물리적 기반 접근방식을 통해 토양침식과정을 계산하여 집중호우로 인해 발생하는 토양침식을 보다 정확하게 추정할 수 있다. 이러한 모형의 적용성을 확인하기 위해 우리나라의 의암댐유역 선정하였으며, 지형 및 강우 그리고 댐자료 등 기초자료 수집과 수집된 데이터는 연구 대상에 대한 토양침식량 산정 및 매개변수 추정과 보정하는 데 사용되었다. 이 결과 다른 토지이용에 비해 농경지와 나지에서 많은 침식이 일어나며 도심지에서의 퇴적이 발생하였다.
