정류상태하에서의 WINFLOW 모델에 의한 모의발생 결과치는 산정된 계산치와 관측치의 오차백분율(0.011~0.080의 범위)를 비교해 볼 때 지하수두 분포를 신뢰도 수준에 있어 잘 반영하고 있는 것으로 판단되며 동서방향으로는 일정 수두분포, 남북방향으로는 완만하고 안정된 수두경사를 이루는 것으로 분석되었다. 분석유역에서의 지하수 유동은 남측에서 하천지역으로 안정된 유동형태를 보이고 있으며, 각 지점에 대한 입자추적은 상류에서 양수지점까지 비교적 직선에 가까운 형태를 보이고 있으나 양수지점의 하류부에서는 양수량의 크기에 따라 영향반경도 많은 차이를 나타내었다. P 및 Pl관정의 동시 양수인 경우에는 P지점 또는 Pl지점의 단일정일 경우보다 영향반경의 크기가 증가한 것 보다는 다소 복잡해진 양상을 보였으며 입자경로는 직선에 가까운 형태를 가지는 것으로 분석되었다. 양수량에 따른 영향원을 살펴보면 지하수가 남측에서 북측(병성천)으로 유동할 경우에 상류부보다 관정 측면과 하류부에서 더욱 크게 지하수두가 감소하는 변화경향을 나타내어 지하수유동방향 및 유속이 관정의 영향원 분포에 많은 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

We present the results of two-dimensional numerical simulations predicting the flow of groundwater in a fractured unsaturated zone. We applied the k-field distribution of permeability derived from discrete fracture network (DFN) modeling as the hydraulic properties of a model domain. To model an unsaturated zone, we set the depth from the ground surface to the underground aquifer. The rate of water infiltration into the unsaturated zone was divided into two parts, an artificial structure surface and unsaturated soil zone. The movement of groundwater through the unsaturated zone was simulated with particular emphasis on contaminant transport. It was clearly observed that the contaminants dissolved in groundwater transported vertically from the ground surface to the saturated zone.

Groundwater inflow into the caverns constructed in fractured rock mass was simulated by numerical modeling, NAPSAC (DFN, discrete fracture network model) and NAMMU (CPM, continuous porous media model), a finite-element software package for groundwater flow in 3D fractured media developed by AEA Technology, UK. The input parameters for modeling were determined on surface fracture survey, core logging and single hole hydraulic test data. In order to predict the groundwater inflow more accurately, the anisotropic hydraulic conductivity was considered. The anisotropic hydraulic conductivities were calculated from the fracture network properties. With a minor adjustment during model calibration, the numerical modeling is able to reproduce reasonably groundwater inflows into cavern and the travel length and times to the ground surface along the flow paths in the normal, dry and rainy seasons.

A reference scenario of vault safety case prepared by the IAEA for the near-surface disposal facility of low-and informed]ate-level radioactive wastes is assessed with the MASCOT program. The appropriate conceptual models for the MASCOT implementation is developed. An assessment of groundwater pathway through a drinking well as a geosphere-biosphere interface is performed first. then biosphere pathway is analysed to estimate the radiological consequences of the disposed radionuclides based on compartment modeling approach. The validity of conceptual modeling for the reference scenario is investigated where possible comparing to the results generated by the other assessment. The result of this study shows that the typical conceptual model for groundwater pathway represented by the compartment model ran be satisfactorily used for safety assessment of the entire disposal system in a cons]stent way. It is also shown that safety assessment of a disposal facility considering complex and various pathways would be possible by the MASCOT program.

With regard to oversea mineral resources development, recent trend has been changed from a simple capital investment to a direct development of the resources. In relation to the stability of a slope in large open-pit coal mine, groundwater system was investigated and the validity of horizontal drainage hole was evaluated in Pasir coal mine, Indonesia. In this work, various field tests were carried out for a characterization of groundwater system, which included in-situ permeability measurement, tracer test and monitoring of groundwater levels. Especially, the influence of SM river on the characteristics of the groundwater flow system was mainly inspected. For the permeability measurement, Guelph permeameter was employed, and was found that sandstone was more permeable than mudstone and coal seam. From a comparison of lithological structure and the results of groundwater level monitoring, sandstone and thin coal seam with fractures were found to be a main channel for groundwater flow. In the results of tracer tests, the effect of SM river on the groundwater system depends on the geological structure of its base. To identify the effect of horizontal drainage holes, 2-D groundwater modeling was performed. Four different cases were tested, which are different from the length of drainage hole and the existence of pond on top of the slope. To enhance the drainage effect and slope stability, the drainage hole should be drilled to the depth of coal seam layer, which provides a main pathway of groundwater flow and embedded by sandstone. For this purpose, correct identification of surrounding geology should be preceded.

라돈은 바위나 토양 속에 존재하는 우라늄이 붕괴하면서 자연발생하므로 사실상 지구 어느 곳에서나 존재한다. 최근 국내에서는 대덕연구단지 지역주민이 애용하는 샘물에서 라돈과 우라늄등 방사성핵종의 농도가 미국환경보호청(USEPA)의 음용수 수질 기준치를 훨씬 상회하여 인체에 유해성이 우려된다는 보도가 있었다.[1] 본 연구는 지하수내에 존재하는 라돈이 인체건강에 영향을 주는 두 가지 인체노출경로를 파악하고 이들 경로에 대해 각각 수학적 모델들을 개발하여 인체노출량을 정량적으로 평가하여 보았다. 본 연구의 결과는 추후 라돈의 정량적인 인체위해도를 평가하는데 도움을 주리라고 판단된다.

Fluid flow studies of fractured rocks require three-dimensional modeling of the fracture system. The stochastic discrete fracture models constructed by Monte Carlo simulation technique were applied to the analysis of groundwater flow and mass transport in fractured rock for the assessment of tightness criteria of underground LPG storage cavern. The parameters that most affect the conceptual discrete fracture modeling proved either fracture orientation or size and on the fract'lre flow interpretation proved conductive fracture intensity. The fracture transmissivity played important role in solute transport in fractured rock simulated by particle tracking approach. It was partly recognized that the calibrated stochastic discrete fracture model can be used for the tightness criteria of underground LPG storage cavern.

A numerical model for Steady state groundwater flow has been established to understand the groundwater flow phenomena near a radioactive waste repository. The integrated finite difference method based on a network composed of nodes and members was applied to investigate groundwater flow in homogeneous, heterogeneous and layered media. Its numerical solution was in good agreement with analytic solution. Physical phenomena associated in the groundwater flow depending on both hydraulic characteristics and effects of fractured zone were also investigated. A method by which feasible groundwater flow paths can be identified was developed. This method used the composite network for the geologic media near a repository and the direction of computed groudwater velocity. Groundwater velocity and travel time were predicted for the possible pathway form a repository to a biosphere.

이 연구는 제주도 한림 지역에서 지하수의 수질과 오염의 특성을 규명하고자 시행되었다. 2002년 8월과 11월에 걸쳐 34개 지점에서 지하수 시료를 채취하였고, 이를 분석하여 지하수의 수질을 유형별로 분류하였다. 연구지역은 주로 (Na,Mg)-HCO$_3$ 유형이 나타나며, 일부 지점에서는 Mg-(HCO$_3$+Cl), (Ca,Mg)-HCO$_3$ 유형 등이 나타난다. 이는 지하수의 유동 경로를 따라 서로 다른 수리지화학적 반응이 일어나며, 지표 오염물질의 유입 등이 지하수의 수질에 영향을 미치고 있음을 지시한다. 질산성 질소의 경우, 국내 먹는물 수질기준치 10 mg/L를 초과한 시료는 전체 시료의 8월 조사에서 약 32%, 11월 조사에서 약 27% 이었고, 공간적 분포 특성은 비교적 낮은 고도 150m 이하의 저지대에서 채취한 시료에서 주로 나타났다. 인위적인 오염물질의 유입 가능성이 있는 지점은 전체 시료의 79.4% 이었다.
