Imnam Dam construction and inter-basin water transfer use by North Korea have caused several problems including water resources management aspects in the downstream reach of North Han River. Therefore, cooperative works between North and South Korea are required to make a reasonable management situation of the shared river for water quantity and quality. However, efforts by the North and the South has done not enough to achieve equitable water use in the shared river. This study analyzes main impacts caused by Imnam Dam in key sectors for reviewing water use right regarded as the most important decision-making criterion in international rivers. As the results, water deficit by Imnam Dam is calculated at 379 million $m^3$/year when river drought year for water assessment is set in 1978 in the Han River basin. Additionally hydropower production is decreased by 234 GWh/year in exclusive hydropower generation dams. In respective of water quality, BOD concentration is increased by 0.065 ppm at Sambongli in North Han River. Finally it is identified that unequitable water use based on the absolute territorial sovereignty by North Korea in North Han River has directly and indirectly affected severe impacts to South Korea as the downstream user.

Drought is one of the most influential disasters in sustainable agriculture and food security of nations. In order to preemptively respond to agricultural droughts, vulnerability assessments were conducted to predict the possibility of drought in the region, the degree of direct or indirect damage, and the ability to cope with the damage. Information on agricultural drought vulnerability status of different regions is extremely useful for implementation of long term drought management measures. The purpose of this study is to develop and implement a quantitative approach for measuring agricultural drought vulnerability at sub-district level based on agricultural water and reservoirs. To assess the vulnerability in a quantitative manner and also to deal with different physical and socioeconomic data on the occurrence of agricultural drought, we selected the appropriate factors for the assessment of agricultural drought vulnerability through preceding studies, and analyzed the meteorological and agricultural reservoir data from 2015 to 2018. Each item was weighted using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) analysis and evaluated through the agricultural drought vulnerability estimation. The entire national vulnerability assessments showed that Ganghwa, Naju, and Damyang were the most vulnerable to agricultural droughts. As a result of analyzing spatial expression, Gyeongsang-do is relatively more vulnerable to drought than Gangwon-do and Gyeonggi-do. The results revealed that the methodology and evaluation items achieved good performance in drought response. In addition, vulnerability assessments based on agricultural reservoir are expected to contribute supporting effective drought decisions in the field of agricultural water management.

In order to estimate chornic toxicity of copper in the juvenile oliver flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, experiments were investigated the effects of long term sublethal copper exposure on survival rate, metabolic rate, feed efficiency and growth rate. Oliver flounder were exposed for 6 weeks to four different sublethal copper concentration (50, 80, 180, 320 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$). Survival rate of them significantly affected above 180 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$, and reduced for increase exposure periods and concentrations. Copper exposure to 180 and 320 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$ significantly decreased metabolic rate in olive flounder. Exposure to waterborne copper concentrations as high as 80 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$ resulted in significantly reduced feed efficiency and growth rate. From these results, it could be concluded that the high level of 80 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $L^{-1}$ copper concentration in the bottom water would curtail production of the olive flounder in coastal area.

Volcanic ash from volcanic eruptions spreads to vast areas hundreds of kilometers away, and when volcanic ash flows into surface waters, it will be damaged by water supply. In case of water supply facilities, it provides to people drinking water and domestic water, be consumed by the people cause social disorder when water supply is cut off due to damage such as water pollution caused by harmful materials of volcanic ash. However, when we looked at the disaster management manual, the establishment of a water supply facility manual to deal with the damage of volcanic ash was found to be insufficient. Therefore, in this study, the existing volcanic and water pollution related manuals were analyzed and problems were derived. In order to make quick situation judgment and response activities, we have suggested the scope of the water supply facility manual, disaster type, major missions and system of related organizations, and scenario of crisis situation by disaster type.

In this study, flow duration analysis was conducted at the Gumbo stage gauging station due to construction of the Youngchun dam. The flow duration characteristics were $10.49\;m^3/s$ of drought flow, $13.30\;m^3/s$. of low flow, $15.65\;m^3/s$ of normal flow, and $25.00\;m^3/s$ abundant flow before construction of Youngchun dam. But after construction of Youngchun dam, the flow duration characteristics were $2.07\;m^^3/s,\;2.89\;m^3/s,\;4.0\;m^3/s,\;9.36\;m^3/s$ and they had been deteriorated. Applying the Physical Habitat Simulation Model by Instream Flow Incremental Methodology, the Weighted Usable Area(WUA)-Discharge Curve was developed for Zacco Platypus according to the growth stages. Using the WUA-Discharge Curve, the WUA Duration Curve was developed with exceedance probability of daily flow and evaluated fish habitat conditions due to the construction of Youngchun dam. As an evaluation result, the WUA was reduced and fish habitat environment was deteriorated due to the construction of Youngchun dam during the spawning and growth period of Zacco Platypus. However the exceedence probability of the $90\;\%$, irrigation water supply from the Youngchun dam improved flow duration characteristics and Weighted Usable Area as well as fish habitat.

우리나라는 도시화, 산업화에 따른 수질저하 및 용수확보 문제를 해결하기 위하여 각종 환경기초시설의 증설과 수질개선을 위한 대책을 수립하여 왔다. 그러나 점오염원에 국한한 수질개선은 한계가 있었으며, 1995년 환경부는 전국 비점오염원 조사를 통해 비점오염원이 수질오염에 기여하는 비율이 T-N, SS는 50% 이상을 점유하고 기타 BOD, T-P도 $20{\sim}30%$ 수준임을 밝힌 바 있다. 이에 정부는 오염총량관리제를 도입하여 비점오염원의 관리를 시작하였으나, 강우시 정확한 유량자료를 바탕으로한 수질 측정자료의 부족으로 비점오염원 관리에 있어 어려움이 따르고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비점오염원 관리 및 연구를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있도록 수도권 및 인근지역 주민의 식수원인 팔당호로 직유입되고, 정확한 수질자료 확보가 필요한 경안 수위관측소 지점에서 2007년 6월${\sim}$9월에 일어난 강우 중 4개의 강우사상에 대하여, 수질측정을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 이용한 유량자료는 2007년 수위-유량관계곡선식으로 산정한 환산 유량이며, 실측한 수질자료를 바탕으로한 유량과 부하량의 관계는 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 수질측정 항목은 수온, DO, pH, EC, SS, BOD, CODMn, CODCr, T-N, T-P 등이며, BOD의 농도는 2개의 강우사상에서만 분석하였다. 현장에서 휴대용미터를 이용하여 수온, DO, pH, EC를 측정하였고, 나머지 항목은 한국건설기술연구원내 환경정밀분석 센타에 의뢰하였다. 각 항목별 유량-부하량 관계식은 기존의 지수식이 아닌 선형이나 다항식으로 산정하였다. 다항식으로 산정된 식의 결정계수($R^2$)는 BOD, T-N 항목을 제외한 각 항목에서 0.6 이상의 값을 가졌다. 항목별로 보면 SS는 0.90, $COD_{Mn}$은 0.87, $COD_{Cr}$은 0.84, T-P는 0.62의 값을 가졌다. 또한, T-N은 0.53, BOD는 0.32의 값을 가져 유량과 부하량의 관계가 거의 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. BOD의 경우는 4개의 강우사상 중 2개의 강우사상에서만 분석되어 다른 항목에 비해 실측자료가 부족한 관계로 그 특성을 판단하기 어려웠다. 본 연구가 주로 홍수기에 이루어져 실측자료가 많지 않았기 때문에 본 연구의 대상지점을 대표할 수 있는 유량-부하량 관계식으로는 미흡한 한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구자료를 기초로 장기간 많은 자료를 확보하여 유량-부하량 관계식을 수정 보완한다면, 차후 비점오염원 관리의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study was to evaluate the performance of the Double stage Pore controllable fiber (DP) filter system as the pre-treatment of the RO membrane. The evaluation for the pre-treatment filter was performed through the indirect method, SDI (Silt Density Index) measurement of the filtrate. This study was done during Jan. 3 of 2009 to Dec. 3 of 2009 at OO Water Treatment Plant that was suppling industrial water to plants, and the raw water was contaminated lake water and it was fed to the system after clarification with coagulation. The average turbidity of the feed water and that of the filtrate was 0.79 NTU (0.28~4.01 NTU), and 0.16 NTU (0.04~0.50) respectively. And so the average turbidity removal efficiency was 77%. The filtrate flow rate and the backwash water flow rate was about 230 $m^3$/day and about 8.7 $m^3$/day respectively, and so the backwash rate was 3.8%. The data for some samples were obtained after a few days storage, and it caused the higher turbidity and SDI15 as the storage time was increased. But average SDI value of the filtrate was 3.6 (2.26~5.00) which was lower than minimum value required by the RO membrane manufacturer as the RO feed water to guarantee the life time of the RO membrane. So, the DP filter system was enough for the application as the pre-treatment of the RO membrane.

The rate of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus.) leaf damaged by Liriomyza trifolii larvae was lower than that by adults. The adults began to be attracted to yellow sticky trap immediately after transplanting and increased gradually up to early August followed by low population density from middle to late August. In the second year, adults began to be attracted from late April after transplanting and increased abrubtly from middle May and the high density was maintained till early truly. The density decreased, however, from middle July, and then followed by the high density again early September and late October The seasonal fluctuations of larva and pupa were similar to that of adults and the peaks of pupa occurred one week later than that of larvae. Larva infected by parasitoid were observed 4 weeks after transplanting. Parasitism was 65% in average from early July to late August but decreased to 50% from early September. Number of trapped adults was the highest in the yellow sticky trap among the five different colour raps. Catches at 30~60 cm above soil surface were significantly greater than that at 90 cm.

This study was carried out to examine the growth performance of 4 species of cool-season grasses and 4 species of zoysiagrasses under salt injury in Seo-san reclaimed area. Grasses were grown on the plots with capillary water interruption layer (WCWIL) and without capillary water interruption layer (WOCWIL) soil systems. Cool-season grass and seeding-type zoysiagrass plots were seeded on 6 Jun, 2006. Vegetative zoysiagrass 'Junggi' was established by sprigging and 'Senock' and 'Millock' were plugged. Electric conductivities of irrigation water (ECw) ranged from 0.28 to $3.3\;dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$. Electric conductivities (ECe) of the soil with capillary water interruption layer and without capillary water interruption layer ranged from 0.55 to $9.4\;dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ and from 1.84 to $9.4\;dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$ respectively. Leaf color, turf quality, coverage rates, and growth rates were rated visually for 2 years. Zoysiagrass 'Junggi', creeping bentgrass, zoysiagrass 'Senock' and 'Millock' showed acceptable growth at salty fairway condition, while Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass mixed with perennial ryegrass, and seeded zoysiagrass 'Zenith' showed establishment rates below 70%. These results will be useful when choosing turf grass species and cultivars for the golf courses in reclaimed land area.

During the past few years, Korea has experienced extraordinary floods, which have caused many damages of lives and properties. Flooding caused by typhoon is the most common disastrous phenomenon of nature among all catastrophes. As the average temperature of the earth has been increasing by global warming, the possibility of typhoon is also increased by abnormal climate changes. Along with the river improvement as a part of flood control, the time of concentration has been decreased, so the pick discharge has been increased. Moreover, with the land development activities, the area of storage has been diminishing, and the damages from inundation have been continuously increasing. There were a lot of damages to farmland in 1960's, industrial and public facilities in 1970's, and a lot of sufferings from the windstorm in 1980's. In 1990's, however, the amount of damages was increased substantially. So, there is need to decrease the number of the victims and loss of properties by applying preventive measures against natural calamities. This study has employed a simulation system to calculate the depth and amounts of inundation areas to forecast and prevent from flood damage by using rainfall-runoff model. In this study, a case study method is adopted to show inundation by using rainfall-runoff model, HEC-GeoRAS and Arcview. It is hoped that, this study would be conducive to professionals and organizations working in the field of disaster management.
