제주도 서부지역에 위치한 2개 관측정을 대상으로 대수층별 대수성시험을 실시하구 지하수 산출능력을 평가하였다. 연구대상 관측정은 대수층이 수직적으로 서로 연결되어 있지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 대체로 해수면 하 10～20m 사이 구간에 제1대수층이 발달하고 있으며, 지하수 산출능력은 절리 또는 용암류 경계의 대수층(용수2호공)보다는 유리쇄설성 각력암층(무릉1호공)에서가 상대적으로 양호한 것으로 평가되었다. 서귀포층을 포함한 제2대수층은 수위하가 l0m 이상 발생하는 것으로 미루어 보아 제1대수층보다는 지하수 산출능력이 떨어지는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나, 제1대수층은 지표로부터 얕은 깊이에 위치하고 있어 질산성질소 농도가 전반적으로 높고, 양수에 의한 영향권이 취수정 주변 l00m까지 발생하고 있어 서부지역에서 제1대수층 개발은 세심한 주의가 요구되고 있다.

대수층 폭기법(aquifer air sparging)은 대수층에 가압공기를 주입하여 휘발성 유기오염물질을 제거하는 지반환경복원 기술의 하나이다. 본 연구는 전통적인 지하 대수층 폭기기술 시행에 있어서 특정층에 미리 수용액상 계면활성제를 수평방향으로 도입함으로써 오염물질이 실제로 존재하는 층에 선택적으로 폭기 되도록 하여 최소한의 공기량으로 제거 효율을 극대화 하는 기술을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구에서는 균일질 모래로 충진된 2차원 상자 모델을 사용하였으며, 표면장력 조절을 위하여 저농도(100mg/L) 음이온계 계면활성제(sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate) 수용액이 사용되었다. 실험은 계면활성제가 처방되지 않은 경우, 공기도입부 근처에 계면활성제 용액이 도입된 경우, 공기도입부와 토양표면의 중간부분에 계면활성제 용액이 도입된 경우의 세 가지 방법으로 실시되었다. 실험 결과, 계면활성제가 도입된 경우는 투입되지 않은 경우에 비하여 최고 5배에 해당하는 폭기영향권의 확대가 관찰되었으며 폭기영향권이 계면활성제가 도입된 수평층을 중심으로 형성되어 이 부분에 집중되어 존재하는 오염물질의 제거에 매우 유리할 수 있다는 점이다. 대수층 도입공기의 수평확산을 유도하는 기술로 본 연구는 기존의 대수층 폭기 복원기술의 효율을 획기적으로 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Air sparging technique has been used for remediation of VOC(volatile organic compound)-contaminated aquifer. The aim of this study was to develop an innovative air sparging technique that enhances the efficiency of air intrusion into a specific horizontal layer of aquifer where the contaminants exist with the help of water-soluble surfactant. A twodimensional physical box model, packed with homogeneous sand, was used for simulating the aquifer in this study. Aqueous solution of anionic surfactant (100 mg/L, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate) was used to suppress the surface tension of groundwater. Three sets of experiments were conducted: air sparging experiment without surfactant application, air sparging experiments for box model where the surfactant solution was applied right above the air injection point, and air sparging experiments with surfactant solution layer formed in the middle of the box. It was found that the sparging influence zone was expanded up to five times of that formed by sparging without surfactant application. The size of sparging influence zone was more sensitive to the air flow (injection) rate with surfactant application than that without surfactant. More importantly, injection of air into the target aquifer layer was successful with surfactant application. Findings in this study are expected to provide more options for designing remediation processes using air sparging.

이 연구는 우리나라 균열암반 대수층의 수리적 특성을 해석ㆍ평가하기 위하여 양수시험 해석해(Theis, 1935; Cooper-Jacob, 1946; Papadopulos-Cooper, 1967; Hantush, 1962a,b; Moench, 1985; Hantush-Jacob, 1955) 및 일반화 방사상 유동 모델을 이용하여 균열암반 대수층(화강암, 화산암, 변성암, 백악기퇴적암, 제3기 퇴적암에 굴착된 100개 조사공)에서 수행되어진 양수시험으로부터 얻은 122개의 양수시험자료(수위강하 자료)를 분석하였다. AQTESOLV 전산프로그램을 이용한 양수시험자료 분석에 의하면, 122개 자료중 86개(71%)의 자료들이 이 연구에 사용된 해석해와 일치하며, 양수시험자료 해석해 중에 누수(leaky) 및 경계조건(boundary condition)을 고려한 해석해들이 53개(43%)로 가장 많이 나타났다. 그러므로, 양수시험자료의 해석은 균열암반 대수층의 수리지질학적 특성에 적합한 개념모델의 설정이 중요하다. 일반화 방사상 유동(GRF)모델을 적용해보면, 122개의 자료중 77개(63%)의 자료들이 Barker(1988)의 표준곡선에 의한 차원(1.1차원-2.9차원)을 보여준다. 이중 44.2%에 해당하는 39개 자료가 1.1차원과 1.9차원 사이의 분할 유동차원을 보여주는 반면에 26개(6.5%)만이 Theis 이론에 맞는 2차원의 방사상 흐름을 보여주며, 38개(49.3%)는 2.1차원에서 2.9차원에 속한다. 따라서 우리나라 균열암반 대수층에서 지하수 유동은 대부분 분할차원의 유동을 보여주는 것으로 평가된다.

A laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the kinetics of oxidation of trichloroethylene(TCE) in groundwater by potassium permanganate($KMnO_4$). Consumption of permanganate by TCE and aquifer material was also evaluated to obtain an appropriate injection rate of $KMnO_4$. TCE degradation by $KMnO_4$ in the absence of aquifer material was effective with a pseudo-first order rate constant, $k_{obs}=5.24{\times}10^{-3}s^{-1}\;at\;KMnO_4=500mg/L$. TCE oxidation by $KMnO_4$ was found to be second order reaction and the rate constant, $k=0.65{\pm}0.08M^{-1}s^{-1}$. Meanwhile, aquifer materials from the field site were actively reacted with permanganate, resulting in the significant consumption of $KMnO_4$. It might be attributed to the existence of metal oxides in the aquifer materials.

The present study may be summarized as follows. By means of a pole-pole electrical survey, major geological features, i.e, fresh rocks, fractured & weak & saturated rocks, fresh water bearing aquifer, were successfully delineated in the surveyed area of a granite region in Korea. The subsequent Schlumberger sounding and drilling confirmed the existence of the acquifer at 60 m depth as expected. But one more minor acquifer which does not show up in the resistivity depth section was met at 100 m depth. A simple forward modelling leads the authors to believe that any other electrode configuration, e.g., Wenner, Schlumberger, dipole-dipole, pole-dipole, would not detect the deeper aquifer. Under these circumstances, further studies remain to be done in connection with the spatial resolution in the vertical direction.

In the Jeon Cheon Basin, unconsolidated alluvium and marine clay beds overlying Tertiary conglomerate and impermeable mudstone, and Cambro-Ordovician sedimentary rocks composed of mainly cavernous limestones, and age-unknowned crystalline rocks are occured. Most productive rock is Cambro-Ordovician limestones containing a lot of solution openings and secondary porosities and shows its transmissivity of 1836$m^2$/day and storativity of 1.47 $\times$ $10^{-3}$. The storage of deep seated groundwater in linestone aquifer is estimated about 1059 $\times$ $10^6$ metric tons, being equivalent to 6 years total precipitation of the basin. The safe yield of the groundwater to be abstracted from the aquifer is about 126,000 tons/day. To pump at least 100,000 tons/day of groundwater from the said aquifer, a well field comprising 34 deep wells ranging in depth from 80 to 100 meter and penetrating the cavernous limestone aquifer shall be established at middle and down stream area.

Underground carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage emerges as a pivotal strategy for mitigating atmospheric CO₂ emissions and addressing global warming concerns. This study investigates techniques to optimize storage efficiency in aquifers, which stand out for their superior capacity compared to other geological layers. The focus is on the application of nonionic and anionic surfactants to enhance CO₂ storage efficiency within confined spaces. A specialized micromodel facilitating fluid flow observation was employed for the evaluation. Experimental results revealed a noteworthy minimum 40% increase in storage efficiency at the lowest injection rate when utilizing nonionic and anionic surfactants, in comparison to pure water injection. Interestingly, no significant variations in storage efficiency were observed based on the ionicity and concentration of the surfactants under investigation. These findings have implications for guiding the selection and concentration determination of surfactants in future underground CO₂ storage endeavors.

In 1983, 83 Wenner vertical electrical sounding(VES)s and 22 pumping tests had been carried out by Korea Agricultural Development Corporation(KADC) in Guam Myun, Yeoju Gun, Kyounggi Province. Also, 10 boreholes had been constructed in the area. Using these data electrical and hydraulic properties of aquifer in the Ganam area are investigated in this study. Assuming that the underground is 1-D, VES data are analyzed. Data analysis shows that the subsurface of study area can be interpreted as 4-layer structure and the 3rd layer which is regarded as aquifer has mean thickness of 10 m and mean resistivity of 506 ohm-m and rests on resistive bedrock. Under the circumstances, as most part of electric current flows parallel to the bedding, longitudinal unit conductance is an important parameter controlling VES curves and very closely correlates with transmissivity of aquifer in the study area. Thus, relation between longitudinal unit conductance and transmissivity is investigated in this study. Since resistivity and thickness of each layer are obtained from interpretation of VES data, the relations between transmissivity and resistivity, and between hydraulic conductivity and resistivity are also studied. Studies of such relations show that longitudinal conductance is proportional to transmissivity, and resistivity is inversely proportional to transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity.

Reduction of groundwater surface tension prior to air sparging (SEAS, surfactant-enhanced air sparging) was known to increase air saturation in the aquifer under influence, possibly enhancing the removal rates of volatile contaminants. Although SEAS was known to be efficient for increasing air saturation, little information is available for different hydrogeological settings including soil particle sizes and the depth of aquifer. We investigated water saturations in the sparging influence zone during SEAS using one-dimensional column packed with sands of different particle sizes and different aquifer depths. An anionic surfactant was used to suppress the surface tension of water. Two different sands were used; the air entry pressures of the sands were measured to be $15.0\;cmH_2O$, and $36.3\;cmH_2O$, respectively. No significant difference was observed in the water saturation-surface tension relationship for sands with different particle sizes. As the surface tension decreased, the water saturation decreased to a lowest point and then it increased with further decrease in the surface tension. Both sands reached their lowest water saturations when the surface tension was set approximately at 42 dyne/cm. SEAS was conducted at three different aquifer depths; 41 cm, 81 cm, and 160 cm. Water saturation-surface tension relationship was consistent regardless of the aquifer depth. The size of sparging influence zone during SEAS, measured using two-dimensional model, was found to be similar to the changes in air saturation, measured using one-dimensional model. Considering diverse hydrogeological settings where SEAS to be applied, the results here may provide useful information for designing SEAS process.
