The spatio-temporal variations of nitrate concentrations in groundwater of Jeju Island were evaluated by an analysis of time series groundwater quality data (N = 21,568) that were collected from regional groundwater monitoring (number of wells = 4,835) for up to 20 years between 1993 and 2015. The median concentration of $NO_3-N$ is 2.5 mg/L, which is slightly higher than those reported from regional surveys in other countries. Nitrate concentrations of groundwater in wells tend to significantly vary according to different water usage (of the well), administrative districts, and topographic elevations: nitrate level is higher in low-lying agricultural and residential areas than those in high mountainous areas. The Mann-Kendall trend test and Sen's slope analysis show that nitrate concentration in mid-mountainous areas tends to increase, possibly due to the expansion of agricultural areas toward highland. On the other hand, nitrate concentrations in the Specially Designated Groundwater Quality Protection Zones show the temporally decreasing trend, which implies the efficiency of groundwater management actions in Jeju. Proper measures for sustainable groundwater quality management are suggested in this study.

Cheju Island is the most attractive resort area in Korea for its exotic landscape, natural beauty, and traditional culture which is quite different from that of the mainland. Until now, most of the recreational facilities and accomodations have been constructed along the coastal areas. Recently, mid-mountain area has been under very heavy development pressure because it is suitable for new sites for tourism facilities and the land price in the coastal area is very high. The mid-mountain area is the land located 200-600m above the sea level. It is a major source of water supply for the island and has exotic scenic beauty, which cannot be found in mainland but it is the area very vulnerable to water pollution Therefore, it is very important to manage this area based on the concept of environmentally sound and sustainable development in order to meet ever increasing demand for the land development The purposes of this project are: 1) to establish Geographic Information System for the whole island, 2)to formulate environmentally sound landuse plat However, There has been accuracy of the original map, defining criteria of analysis, updating of the data were identified for future tasks to be studied.

제주도내에 개발ㆍ이용 중인 사설 농업용 44개 관정을 대상으로 2002년 11월부터 2003년 11월까지 1년간 지하수 이용량 모니터링 조사를 실시하였다. 재배작물 유형별 지하수 이용특성을 평가한 결과, 밭작물은 대체로 9월에서 11월 초순까지 집중적으로 지하수를 이용하고 있으며, 시설하우스의 경우에는 2월에서부터 10월말까지 비교적 지속적으로 지하수를 이용하고 있는 것으로 분석되었으나, 노지 감귤원은 가뭄이 아닌 경우에는 농약살포시 매우 소량의 지하수를 이용하고 있으며 이용시기도 매우 불규칙한 것으로 조사되었다. 평균 총 가동 일수는 시설하우스 및 밭작물에 혼용으로 사용하고 있는 지하수 관정의 128일로 최대치를 나타내고 있으며, 연간 지하수 총 이용량의 경우도 관정 가동 일수와 같은 경향을 나타내고 있다. 단위 면적(ha) 당 지하수 일 평균 이용량은 시설하우스가 74m$^3$/일으로 가장 많았고 밭작물이 50m$^3$/일로 조사되었다. 원격검침 시스템에 의해 얻어진 모니터링 테이터로부터 산정된 양수량과 계량기 검침에 의한 양수량과의 관계를 비교 분석한 결과, 상관계수가 $R^2$ =0.997을 나타내 수중모터펌프 가동시간 모니터링에 의한 양수량 산정방법이 매우 유효함이 입증되었다.

To determine the temporal variations of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and SGD-driven nutrients inputs, we measured the seepage rate and the nutrient concentrations of pore water/groundwater in Bangdu Bay of Jeju Island at two and three month intervals from September 2009 to September 2010. The seepage rate of groundwater ranged from 0 to 330 cm/day (average ~170 cm/day) during the five sampling periods, which increased sharply from high tide to low tide due to changes in hydraulic pressure gradient between water table in land and water sea level in the coastal ocean by the tidal cycles. The submarine inputs of groundwater were also relatively higher in summer than in winter. The nutrient fluxes from SGD were about 90~100%, 70~95%, and 65~100% of the total input (except from open ocean waters) for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), phosphorus (DIP), and silicate (DSi), respectively, potentially supporting about 0.9~33 g $carbon/m^2/day$ of new primary production in Baugdu Bay. Thus, our study suggests that SGD-driven nutrients may play an important role in the eutrophication and biological production in the coastal ocean of Jeju Island.

Neoliberalizing nature spreads widely across diverse fields and areas. Commodifying water is the most frequent case conflicting with the stance, water as commons. This paper reviews the commodity versus commons debate in other countries leading to the importance of wider perspective considering regional contexts, and then examines the case of Jeju with that regard entirely depending freshwater on underground acquifer. In Jeju, the sale of bottled water by private corporation has been in confrontation with the declaration of water as commons by Jeju government. But, the commodity versus commons conflict over water hinders more important concerns such as the abundant use by tourism related hotels and golf courses, the free largest agricultural use, and the production and sale of bottled water by Jeju government itself. The real focus of concern should be given to the constraints on increasing water rate for tourism businesses, charging fees on agriculture, and the local development imperatives. The dual stance of Jeju government in promoting water as commodity as well as promulgating water as commons seems to be a case adding diversity to the geography of neoliberalizing nature.

It is widely assumed that climate change and other anthropogenically driven processes are having a serious impact on coastal environments. One such impact is saltwater intrusion into coastal aquifers, which has resulted in the loss of groundwater resources. The pattern of saltwater intrusion is strongly dependent on regional hydrogeological characteristics. This study reviews recent qualitative and quantitative research into this problem, and considers relevant case studies. In addition, the characteristics of the aquifers from two representative volcanic islands (Jeju Island, Korea and Oahu Island, USA) are compared. The fundamental theory of density-dependent flow used to model saltwater intrusion processes and the programs that are widely used to simulate saltwater intrusion based on density-driven problems are also investigated. It is expected that the knowledge gained from this review of previous studies can be used to help improve groundwater management practices in Korea and also to inform future interdisciplinary studies.

지하수의 공공성, 민간부문의 지하수 개발의 추이와 지하수관리특별구역의 현황에 대하여 살펴보았다. 공공재의 특성과 사적비용과 사회적비용을 일치시키기 위해 피구세를 검토하였으며, 온실가스 배출권거래제의 이론적 근거를 살펴보았다. 지하수이용을 감소시키기 위한 방안을 살펴보고 감축방안을 세가지로 나누어 검토하였다. 전형적인 온실가스배출권 거래제와 같은 방법은 거래비용으로 인하여 적절하지 않을 것으로 보이나, 피구세로 보완하면 적용 가능할 것으로 보인다. 한정된 자원인 지하수를 적절히 이용하고 보전하는 방법은 사회적으로 합의되고 적절한 방법으로 이루어져야 한다. 지하수이용허가권을 조정하는 방법으로 지하수이용허가권을 일정비율로 감축하고 계속 사용하고자 하는 사용자에게는 부담금을 부과하며, 허가권을 반납하는 사용자에게 보상을 하는 방법이 적절할 것으로 보인다. 이 방법은 영세한 지하수이용자가 지하수허가량을 줄이면 부담금을 부과하지 않고, 폐공하는 경우에는 보상하도록 한다. 대규모 지하수 사용자가 지하수를 더 이용하기 위해서는 경제적 부담을 감수하면 가능하다. 과다한 소규모 관정을 폐공시키고 일정 규모이상의 지하수 관정을 이용하게 하는 효과도 있으리라 보인다.

쓰레기매립장의 침출수 누출 탐지를 위한 물리탐사법은 침출수의 전기전도도를 대상으로 한 전기탐사법이 주로 적용되어 왔다. 이 연구는 제주도에 위치한 비위생매립지를 대상으로 주변 수리지질환경 파악을 위한 전기비저항 탐사와 더불어 매립장 경계부와 토양층을 통한 침출수 누출 영역을 효율적으로 규명하기 위하여 다중주파수를 이용한 소형루프 전자탐사를 병행하여 수행하였으며, 아울러 오염지역의 천부 지하수 유동 방향을 추정하기 위하여 침출수의 유동에 의해 발생될 수 있는 자연전위를 모니터링 하였다. 전기비저항 탐사 및 자연전위 모니터링 결과 매립지 주변을 통한 침출수의 누출 가능성은 거의 없는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 주변 하천에서 정기적으로 실시한 수질 분석 결과와 일치된다. 또한 소형루프 전자탐사 자료에 대하여 공간 필터링 및 1차원 역산법을 적용한 결과 매립장 경계부의 위치 및 매립장 내부의 심도별 매립물에 의한 저비저항 이상대를 효과적으로 도출 할 수 있었다.
