We have investigated water quality of the coastal saline groundwaters utilized for fish farms in Jeju Island. The water quality investigation included the spatial observations for 75 fish farms during March-May, 1994 and the hi-monthly observations for both coastal saline groundwaters and seawaters at four fish farms from August 1994 to December 1995. Water temperature of the saline groundwaters ranged from 16 to 18$^{\circ}C$ over the study period. Salinity of the saline groundwaters varied between 20.60 ppt and 34.02 ppt, slightly lower than that of the coastal seawaters(26.47~34.53 ppt). This salinity variation must be associated with local precipitation conditions in Jeju Island. The oxygen saturation for most saline groundwater samples was lower than 80%, ranging from 24.7 to 89.8%. The COD and pH values for the saline groundwaters were similar to those for the coastal seawaters. The concentrations of DIP for the saline groundwaters varied between 0.021 mg/L and 0.121 mg/ L, and seasonal variation of DIP in the saline groundwater ranged from 0.014 to 0.077 mg/L, which were higher than that of the coastal seawaters(0.000~0.015 mg/L). Nitrate in the saline groundwaters accounted for more than 90% of the DIM. The maximum concentrations of ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and DIN in the saline groundwaters were 0.085, 0.012, 2.294 and 2.309 mg/L, respectively. These concentrations of the saline groundwaters were considerably lower than those affected culture organisms. Overall, the saline groundwaters utilized for fish farms in Jeju Island appear to maintain good waterquality for fish farms.

Groundwater plays an important role in water and carbon cycles in Gwangneung forest watershed located in a complex landscape. Because groundwater affects electrical resistivity (ER) of underground materials, the depth to water table and water content in subsurface can be investigated through measuring ER. Accordingly, the ER survey has been employed more frequently in recent hydrological investigations. Quantitative applications of the results of ER survey will contribute significantly to the examination of water budget closure at various spatiotemporal scales. This paper presents the preliminary results of the ER survey conducted at Gwangneung forest watershed to determine proper locations and depths of monitoring wells. Such use of ER survey, in conjunction with an integrated geophysical investigation and geographic information system, can provide more effective examination of underground structure and optimal locations of monitoring wells to further our understanding of the role of groundwater.

The oceanic tides have an effect on groundwater levels in coastal fractured rock aquifers. The observed groundwater table fluctuations caused by the effective stress through an aquifer are shown as sine curves similar with tidal fluctuation. To estimate a hydrogeologic parameter, tidal method is utilized with groundwater level fluctuations of two monitoring wells. Cross correlation function is used to calculate time lags between observed groundwater levels and tide, and the deeper well shows longer time lag. The storage coefficients calculated by using tidal efficiency and time lag show large differences. The storage coefficients obtained by using time lags are close to the result of slug test, and that of the deeper well shows closer value by slug test. The tidal efficiency is unsatisfied to apply in the tidal method because of an effect of phreatic aquifer and the vertical flow of groundwater through fractured confining bed. This tidal method can be an economical and effective way to define the parameter by considering the location of observation well and hydrogeologic characteristics of a coastal aquifer.

본 연구에서는 토양층에서 지하수 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향을 산정하여 변동특성을 분석하고, 그 원인에 대해 고찰하였다. 연구부지는 부경대학교 환경연구동 앞 잔디밭이며, 2008년 10월 18일 ${\sim}$ 11월 1일의 기간 중 12일(10월 21, 28일은 관측 못함) 동안 24회 관측되었다. 관측된 지하수공은 9개공이며, 4 m ${\times}$ 4 m의 정방형으로 설계되었다. 지하수위에 의한 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향의 산정은 총 9가지 형태의 평면으로 가정하여 산정하였다. 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향을 산정하기 위한 평면은 모두 9가지 형태로 가정하였다. 첫 번째는 9개공 모두를 이용한 정방형 평면(TW), 두 번째는 6개공을 이용한 4가지 경우의 삼각형 평면(T1, T2, T3 및 T4), 세 번째는 6개공을 이용한 4가지 경우의 직사각형 평면(R1, R2, R3 및 R4)으로 가정하여 각각의 평면에서 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향을 산정하였다. 이상에서 가정된 9가지 평면에서 산정된 평균 수리경사는 0.0094(R2) ${\sim}$ 0.0123(T2)의 범위로 나타났으며, 9개공 모두를 이용한 평면(TW)에서의 평균 수리경사는 0.0109로 산정되었다. 관측기간 동안 T1과 T3 평면의 평균 주 흐름 방향은 각각 -84.9818과 -86.2487로서, 다른 7개 평면의 평균 주 흐름 방향이 79.7045(T4) ${\sim}$ 85.8405(TW)의 범위로 나타난 것과는 반대의 흐름 방향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는, 본 연구에 적용된 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향의 산정기법(Devlin, 2003)이 삼각형 형태의 평면에는 부적합할 수 있음을 보여주는 것이다. 관측기간 중 10월 12일에 내린 소량의 강우(12 mm)에 의한 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향의 변동은 크게 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 정방형, 삼각형 및 직사각형의 평면 토양층에서 지하수의 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향을 산정하여 전체 및 국부적인 부지에서의 차이를 파악하고, 평면의 형태에 따른 수리경사와 주 흐름 방향의 차이 또한 확인할 수 있었다.

도시지역에 있어서 홍수피해의 직접적인 원인으로는 외수의 범람에 의한 침수와 내수 배제 불량에 의한 침수피해로 구분할 수 있는데 최근 도시지역에 발생하는 홍수피해의 대부분은 외수의 직접 범람에 의한 피해보다는 각종 수리구조물의 배제능력 부족이나 방류지점에서의 배수위의 영향으로 인한 내수의 배제 불량에 기인한 피해가 증가하는 추세이다. 또한 최근 도시지역에 홍수피해를 유발하고 있는 강우의 특징은 단시간에 많은 강우가 집중하여 발생하는 국지성 집중호우로 단시간 내에 수공구조물의 기능을 마비시킴으로써 침수피해를 가중시키는 경향이 있으므로 배수시설 설계 시 이러한 강우의 특성과 도시유출 특성에 대한 고려가 요구되며 중요 시설물에 대해서는 설계빈도의 상향조정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 기존 도시유역에 적용되고 있는 강우-유출모형의 기본이론의 장 단점을 검토하여 본 연구의 목적과 용도에 가장 적합하다고 판단되는 SWMM 모형을 선정하여 적용하였다. 대구 서구 비산 7동 배수구역의 유출모의를 실시한바, 향후 경제적 편익을 고려하고, 정확한 실측 유량자료 값을 산정, 관거 내 유속을 방해하는 토사 등 보다 정확한 관거자료, 모의에 사용하는 각종 매개 변수값의 정확도를 높인다면 인위적인 배수계통을 가지는 도시유역에서의 각종 풍수해에 피해를 최소화 할 수 있는 보다 합리적인 방재대책 수립에 큰 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

We evaluated the results of pumping tests, the amount of groundwater used by Protected Cultivation with Water Curtain (PCWC), and monthly depth to water table (DTW) at the Wangjeon-ri area, Nonsan City, to elucidate the cause of a decrease in pumping rate during the winter PCWC season. The transmissivity and storage coefficient at eight sites where the major aquifer is alluvium, vary from 119.9 to $388.1m^2/d$ and $1.5{\times}10^{-4}$ to $5.5{\times}10^{-4}$, respectively. The pumping rate for PCWC during three months (Dec. to Feb.) averaged about $8,100m^3/d$ and the maximum water level in the area varied by about 10 m. Groundwater levels had fully recovered by August-five months after pumping for PCWC had ceased. These observations indicate that the pumping rate during the winter PCWC season was excessive compared with groundwater productivity in the area. Groundwater level in the central PCWC area varied from -3.0 to 4.38 m, exceeding the water level of the Nosung Stream for only three months (Aug. to Oct.). This result indicates that Nosung Stream recharges the area during the period from November to July. To solve the problem of reduced pumping rate during the winter PCWC season, it would be necessary to reduce the amount of groundwater used for PCWC or to develop an artificial recharge system using recycled groundwater.

This study characterizes aquifer system and hydrogeologic property in the western half of Jeju Island where wells were drilled for regional water supply in three sub-areas (northwestern, western, and southwestern sub-areas). The aquifer system of the northwestern sub-area is largely composed of upper high-permeability layer, upper low-permeability layer, lower high-permeability layer, and lower low-permeability layer. On the other hand, the aquifer systems of the western and southwestern sub-areas are mostly composed of upper low-permeability layer, high-permeability layer, and lower low-permeability layer. Transmissivity and specific capacity decrease in the order of the northwestern, western, and southwestern sub-areas. The relationship between specific capacity and the top surface of tuff is negative with a high correlation coefficient of -0.848, indicating that the tuff acts as the bottom of the aquifer. Groundwater level change due to the 2004 Sumatra earthquake is an average of 23.74 cm in the northwestern sub-area, an average of 9.48 cm in the western sub-area, and none in the southwestern sub-area. Further, it is found that groundwater change due to the earthquake has a positive relationship with transmissivity and specific capacity.

Geostatistical methods were used for the groundwater flow analysis in a heterogeneous anisotropic aquifer. This study area is located at Sonbul-myeon in Hampyong-gun of Cheonnam Province which is a hydrogeological project area of KORES(Korea Resources Cooperation). Linear regression analysis shows that the topographic elevation and groundwater level of this area have very high correlation. Groundwater-level contour maps produced by ordinary kriging and cokringing have large differences in mountain areas, but small differences in hill and plain areas near the West Sea. Comparing two maps on the basis of an elevation contour map, a groundwater-level contour map using cokriging is more accurate. Analyzing the groundwater flow on two groundwater-level contour maps, the groundwater of study area flows from the high mountain areas to the plain areas near the West Sea. To verify the enffectiveness of geostatistical methods for the groundwater flow analysis in a heterogeneous anisotropic aquifer, the flow directions of groundwater were measured at two groundwater boreholes by a groundwater flowmeter system(model 200 $GeoFlo^{R}$). The measured flow directions of groundwater almost accord with those estimated on two groundwater-level contour maps produced by geostatistical methods.

Radon concentration was measured in a total of 5,453 groundwater samples from wells across Korea. The radon concentrations showed the values ranging from 0.1 Bq/L to 7,218.7 Bq/L, with a median of 48.8 Bq/L which is lower than those of other countries having similar geological conditions. The distribution of radon concentrations was lognormal. The median value is high in the granite areas (63.5-105.1 Bq/L) while it is low in the sedimentary rocks and Cheju volcanic area (16.0-20.3 Bq/L). When grouping the groundwater with well depth, the median radon value is high in weathering and/or upper bedrock zone (61.4 Bq/L) while it is low in alluvium and/or weathering zone (28.5 Bq/L). About 17.7% of the total samples exceeded 148 Bq/L of USEPA guideline value. The exceeding radon ratio more than 148 Bq/L in groundwater is highest in Jurassic granite area, however, the exceeding radon rates more than 300 Bq/L and 500 Bq/L are highest in CGRA area.
