Pilot scale system was designed to identify the growth and movement of algae, depending on environmental changes(retention time, nutrient concentration, etc) in Gangjeong-Goryeong Weir of the Nakdong River. Considering the stability of algal culture and easy observation of algal growth, pilot scale system was made of transparent acrylic material(3 sets of flexible cylindrical water tanks with 1 m diameter and 4 m height). Auxiliary equipments include light intercepter, water inflow device for different water depth and storage of reclaimed water. The retention time was 2 days(before construction of weir; treatment 1), 8 days(after construction of weir, 2013; treatment 2) and 30 days(2014; treatment 3). According to the water temperature of treatment 1 were similar by depth, treatment 3 showed a difference between the surface(0 m) and bottom(4 m) more than $3^{\circ}C$. DO, pH showed relatively high in the surface than the bottom. Nutrients showed eutrophic condition in all experiments. The Chlrophyll-a concentration of the treatment 1 showed a relatively lower value than the Chlrophyll-a concentration of the treatment 2 and 3. Therefore, the retention time was considered to influence the growth of phytoplankton.

When abnormal taste and odor were detected in the tap water of the North-Han river watershed during the dry season in late 2011, excessive nutrients with algal growth in the Lake Uiam and weather factors were considered to be among its causes. The nutrients, in particular, originated from domestic sewage in the Chuncheon area. This study was conducted to investigate relations between the algal growth in the Lake Uiam and the contribution of nutrients from public sewage treatment works (PSTWs) in Chuncheon city, and based on this to analyze the environmental impact. Nutrients in the Lake Uiam have already been accumulated to the level of eutrophication. Even in winter, the conditions in the lake such as retention time and water temperature were favorable to boost algal growth. After phosphorus treatment processes were introduced, the PSTWs in the Lake Uiam watershed were able to reduce the total phosphorus loads by 43%. The algal concentrations in the Lake Uiam also dropped by about 7%. The nitrogen treatment efficiencies in the PSTWs, on the other hand, remained almost the same after the introduction of the phosphorus treatment processes. To solve these problems more efficiently, it is necessary to develop management strategies for the upstream area of the Lake Uiam and set plans to improve nitrogen treatment operation and management for the PSTWs in Chuncheon.

2023년 12월 13일 전남도 영암 소재 육용 오리 농장에서 H5형 조류인플루엔자(AI) 항원이 검출됐다. 이번 의사 환축은 무안군 방역지역 정기 검사 과정에서 전남도동물위생시험소 검사 결과 H5형 조류인플루엔자 항원이 확인, 최종 고병원성 여부를 농림축산검역본부에서 확인했다. 전남도는 H5형 항원 검출 즉시 가축위생방역지원본부 초동방역팀 2명을 투입해 해당 농장에 대해 출입 통제와 소독 등 방역 조치를 취하고 도 현장 지원관을 파견해 주변 환경조사를 실시했다. 추가 확산 방지를 위해 H5 검출농장에 대해 선제적으로 살처분하고 발생농장 반경 10km 이내를 방역지역으로 설정하고 이동 제한과 소독, 임상예찰을 실시했다. 발생계열 농장과 관계시설에 대해 12월 15일 오전 10시까지 24시간 일시이동중지명령을 내렸다. 이같은 초동방역에도 불구하고 고병원성 AI는 확산일로에 있다. 중요한 것은 이번 AI는 'H5N6형'으로 5년 만에 발생했다는 점에서 그 양상을 달리하고 있다는 것이다. 특히 이번 AI는 증상이 뚜렷하지 않아 농가의 각별한 주의가 요구되고 있는 상황이다. 2024 AI, 무엇이 다를까. 지금까지의 발생상황과 함께 이번 AI의 특징을 알아본다.

갈수시 하천의 수질문제는 다양한 요인에 의해 발생하고 제어된다. 수질 그 자체는 상류나 지류의 점오염원과 비점오염원의 증가 또는 예상치 못한 추가적인 오염원의 유출에 직접 영향을 받으며, 조류 등의 발생도 영향인자인 수온 및 일사량 또는 바람에 의존적이다. 최근 수년간은 특히 빈번한 가뭄조건의 발생으로 인하여 갈수기의 강우 및 유출량이 저조하여 상대적으로 하천의 조류발생이 다수 발견되고 보고된 바 있다. 이와 같은 수질의 이상상태를 일시적으로라도 제어하기 위한 방편으로 유량의 증가, 인위적인 하천 수위의 변동 및 유속 변동 등이 고려될 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 상류의 댐과 하천의 다기능보 등의 조절을 탄력적으로 수행하여야 한다. 이와 같은 시설물 운영효과는 수질문제의 원인을 근본적으로 해결하는 것은 아니지만, 이의 일시적인 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 기존의 수리 수질 모델링이 이상 수질 발생시의 방제 및 사후분석 등을 중심으로 이루어진 부분을 넘어서, 사전 설정된 조건에 의한 예측모의와 가이드라인의 연계방식이 효과적일 것이다. 본 연구는 수질 이상이 빈번히 발생되었던 낙동강의 칠곡 하류 하천을 중심으로 2차원 CE-QUAL-W2 모형과 EFDC모형을 병행 모의하여 다기능보 인근의 표층과 저층의 수온(밀도) 성층화 및 이의 해소와 관련된 수리모의 및 수질인자에 대한 영향을 분석하였다. 수리모형 구축의 적정성은 현장의 실측 수온과 모의결과 비교를 통해 확인하였으며, 구축된 수리 수질 모델을 이용하여 추가방류량 3~23백만$m^3$ 규모에서 발생하는 수리적인 수층혼합 현상과 일시적으로 저감가능한 수질개선 효과가 의미있는 수준으로 나타날 수 있음을 예측하였다. 또한, 다기능보의 수문방류 모의시에 개방조건을 0.3~3.5m로 달리하여 방류기간 중 총방류량이 유사하더라도 최대방류량 또는 유속이 충분치 않은 경우에는 혼합효과가 급격히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 연구에서 밝혀진 조건들을 향후 보다 효과적으로 수치모의하기 위한 방안으로서 EFDC모형의 내부경계조건을 다기능보의 문비조건(RSG, Lift 등)에 맞게 조정하는 방법을 제안하고 그 적용성을 검토한 뒤 모형을 부분 수정하여 제시하였다.

The identification on blue-queen algae which were collected from paddy rice fields of the whole nation was carried out in 1991. The blue-green algae identified were 20 species in 5 families including 7 species in the Chroococcaceae. 1 species in the Chamaesiphonaceae. 1 species in the Pleurocapsaceae, 6 species in the Nostocaeae and 5 species in the Oscillatoriaceae. Among the blue-green algae, 6 species in 4 genera including Cylindrospernum, Anabaenopsis, Anabaena and Nostoc were characterized by heterocysts concerning with nitrogen fixation capacity. A concentrated population of Oscillatoria spp. induced soil flakes with blue tint in paddy rice fields. The genera. Spirulina and Oscillatoria, showed their specific motility.

As the problems of global warming are brought up recently, many skillful solutions for developing new renewable energy are suggested. One of the most remarkable things is ocean energy. Korea has abundant ocean energy resources owing to geographical characteristics surrounded by sea on three sides, thus the technology of commercialization about tidal current power, wave power is demanded. Especially, Tidal energy conversion system is a means of maintaining environment naturally. Tidal current generation is a form to produce electricity by installing rotors, generators to convert a horizontal flow generated by tidal current into rotating movement. According to rotor direction, a tidal current turbine is largely distinguished between horizontal and vertical axis shape. Power capacity depends on the section size crossing a rotor and tidal current speed. We therefore investigated three dimensional flow analysis and performance evaluation using commercial ANSYS-CFX code for an 100 kW class horizontal axis turbine for low water level. Then We also studied three dimensional flow characteristics of a rotating rotor and blade surface streamlines around a rotor. As a result, We found that torque increased with TSR, the maximum torque occurred at TSR 3.77 and torque decreased even though TSR increased. Moreover we could get power coefficient 0.38 at designed flow velocity.

Odor compounds (geosmin, 2-MIB) have been causing problems in the Bukhan River system, but the causative organisms have not been clearly identified. To evaluate the relationship between dynamics of microbial community and odor compounds, two times monthly monitoring of water quality and microbial community from the three serial lakes (Lake Uiam, Lake Cheongpyeong and Lake Paldang) in the Bukhan River system were conducted from April to October 2017. The odor compounds were analyzed by HS-SPME analysis method using GC/MS. Bacteria communities were identified at the class level by NGS analysis. Actinobacteria and Betaproteobacteria were dominant taxon in bacteria community of three serial lakes. In the case of phytoplankton communities showed that seasonal changes by Bacillariophyceae and Cryptophyceae in spring, Cyanobacteria in summer, and Bacillariophyceae and Cryptophyceae in autumn. Dominant species was Dolichospermum (=Anabaena), Microcystis and Pseudanabaena in Bukhan River system in all study period. At the same time the odors geosmin and 2-MIB were also detected at high concentration. There is a significant positive correlation between proportion of Actinobaceria and 2-MIB concentration (r=0.491, p<0.01). In addition, proportion of cyanobacteria showed a significant correlation of geosmin (r=0.381, p<0.05) and 2-MIB (r=0.386, p<0.05) concentration. In this study, odor compounds in the Bukhan River system are considered to be a direct relationship between with Actinobacteria and cyanobacteria.

Avian Influenza is an infectious desease of birds. The infection can cause a wide spectrum of symptoms in birds, ranging from mild illness to a rapidly fatal diseases which might bring a tremendous economic loss to poultry farms[1]. It can also give fatal diseases to human. Therefore it is important to surveil wildbirds that are primary transportation of avian influenza. This report showed a relationship between avian influenza and a habitat of wildbirds using system dynamics, and concluded with suggestion for surveilance.
