In order to quantify nonpoint source pollution, it was proposed to sample at regular intervals of 1 hour for the first 24 hours of storm runoff process by National Institute of Environmental Research for the mixed landuse watershed. However, high frequency sampling requires intensive laboratory analysis and labor costs. In order to investigate the effect of longer sampling interval on the load estimation compared to the 1 hour sampling method, analysis was conducted using monitoring data from rural subwatershed, urban subwatershed, and outlet of the Pungyeongjeongcheon watershed. Statistical analysis revealed that mean of load estimation was not significantly different up to 4 hour sampling frequency. However, 3 hour sampling interval was found to be appropriate for the BOD and TP when it is judged that 10% or less of the difference in loading amount between the 1 hour and other sampling interval is reasonable. The results of this study can be used to conduct an effective monitoring system.

In order to examine effects of sampling frequency during rainfall-runoff process from paddy field on the estimation of pollution load, EMCs of several water sampling frequencies were examined. Water quality samples were conducted by every two hours interval for each event. It was found that difference of load estimation between five times sampling and two hours consecutive sampling during rainfall-runoff showed $15.2{\sim}-15.2%$ for T-N, $20.0{\sim}-26.2%$ for T-P, $28.6{\sim}-35.7%$ for the SS, respectively. In the same way, the effects of number of sampling data on estimation of pollution load using runoff-mass load(L-Q) method were investigated. L-Q equation made of five times sampling data provided 10% differences in estimation of mass loads of T-N, T-P, and SS when compared to those by L-Q equation using entire two hours consecutive sampling data during runoff process.

Surfactant enhanced in-situ soil flushing was performed to remediate the soil and groundwater at an oil contaminated site, where had been used as a military vehicle repair area for 40 years. A section from the contaminated site (4.5 m $\times$ 4.5 m $\times$ 6.0 m) was selected for the research, which was composed of heterogeneous sandy and silt-sandy soils with average $K_d$ of 2.0$\times$$10^{-4}$cm/sec. Two percent of sorbitan monooleate (POE 20) and 0.07% of iso-prophyl alcohol were mixed for the surfactant solution and 3 pore volumes of surfactant solution were injected to remove oil from the contaminated section. Four injection wells and two extraction wells were built in the section to flush surfactant solution. Water samples taken from extraction wells and the storage tank were analyzed on a gas-chromatography (GC) for TPH concentration in the effluent with different time. Five pore volumes of solution were extracted while TPH concentration in soil and groundwater at the section were below the Waste Water Discharge Limit (WWDL). The effluent TPH concentration from wells with only water flushing was below 10 ppm. However, the effluent concentration using surfactant solution flushing increased to 1751 ppm, which was more than 170 times compared with the concentration with only water flushing. Total 18.5 kg of oil (TPH) was removed from the soil and groundwater at the section. The concentration of heavy metals in the effluent solution also increased with the increase of TPH concentration, suggesting that the surfactant enhanced in-situ flushing be available to remove not only oil but heavy metals from contaminated sites. The removal efficiency of surfactant enhanced in-situ flushing was investigated at the real contaminated site in Korea. Results suggest that in-situ soil flushing could be a successful process to remediate contaminated sites distributed in Korea.

인천-제주 정기여객선에 수온, 클로로필 및 탁도계 등의 센서를 설치하여 해양환경 모니터링 시스템을 구축하였으며, 여객선 항로를 따라 2001년부터 2004년까지 18회에 걸쳐 자동관측과 함께 20-30분 간격으로 30여개의 정점에서 해수를 채수하여 분석하였다. 연구의 목적은 채수된 해수를 직접 분석하여 여객선에 설치된 자동측정 센서가 신뢰성 있는 자료를 생산하는지 비교 분석하는 것과 서해 한반도 연안의 해수특성을 전체적으로 이해함으로서 계절적인 변동을 파악하는 것이다. 2001-2003년 초까지 사용된 YSI 센서는 수온, 염분, 탁도와 클로로필 농도 등을 종합적으로 측정할 수 있는 멀티센서이나, 설치하여 운용해 본 결과 정밀도에서 많은 문제점이 발생하였다. 따라서 2004년 이후 클로로필과 탁도 자동 측정을 위한 단일 센서들로 교체되었으며 이들 센서는 멀티센서 보다 좋은 결과를 보였다. 비록 자동측정 장치에 문제는 있었으나, 18회에 걸친 서해 연안의 실시간 모니터링을 통하여 해수환경의 계절별 특성을 이해할 수 있었다. 부유퇴적물의 경우, 경기만과 목포 주변의 남쪽 해안은 농도가 모든 계절에서 높게 나타났으며 특히 가을 겨울철에 가장 높은 값을 나타냈다. 클로로필의 농도도 경기만 중심지역과 남쪽 해안에서 여름과 가을철에 걸쳐 0.4 - 6.0 $mg/m^3$ 정도의 분포를 보였으나 겨울철에는 2.6 $mg/m^3$ 미만으로 나타났다.

해색원격탐사에서 해수 type을 광학적 성질에 따라 Case-I water와 Case-II water로 구분한다. Case-I water는 기본적으로 조류 세포 및 그 쇄설물 그리고 미량의 용존 유기물을 포함하며, 맑은 해수인 대양이 이에 속한다. Case-II water는 부유 무기입자, 육상 기원입자 및 높은 용존 유기물 농도, 인간이 만든 유입물을 포함한 탁한 해수이며, 연안 해역의 해수가 이에 속한다(Gordon, 1983). Case-II water에 속하는 연안 해역의 부유사 농도는 해양 연안 환경 변화를 모니터링 할 수 있는 중요한 지표 중 하나이다. 부유사가 연안 환경, 연안 양식장, 어장 환경에 어떤 영향을 주는지 파악할 수 있다. 채수를 통하여 부유사 농도를 추정하는 것은 시간적 경제적 제약이 따른다. 하지만 위성자료와 실측 자료간의 상관관계가 잘 나타나는 계수를 유도하면, 실측없이 위성영상만 있으면 연속적인 부유사 농도 분포를 볼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 이런 목적으로 Landsat ETM+ 자료를 이용하여 광양만의 표층 부유사 농도를 추정하였다. 위성 통과시간에 맞춰 2009년 9월 22일과 11월 25일 2차례에 걸쳐 부유사 농도와 반사도를 광양만 16개 정점에서 측정하였다. 부유사 농도는 표층의 해수를 채수하여 GF/F 필터를 이용해 측정되었고, 반사도는 Spectroradiometer를 사용하여 350nm부터 1050nm까지 1nm 간격으로 측정되었다. Landsat ETM+ 자료와 실측 반사도는 원격반사도 $R_{rs}$로 변환되었고, 두 가지 $R_{rs}$를 실측 부유사 농도와 비교하여 부유사 농도 산출 계수를 유도하였다. 경험적으로 구한 계수를 사용하여 위성영상을 부유사 농도로 계산하였으며, 이는 같은 날의 실측 부유사 농도와 비슷한 공간분포를 나타내었다.

비점오염원이란 도시, 도로 포장면, 무허가 가축시설, 무단 경작지 등의 불특정 장소에서 불특정하게 발생하는 오염원을 말한다. 이러한 비점오염원은 주로 강우특성(강수량, 강우강도, 강우지속시간 등)에 영향을 받는 특징을 가지고 있다. 강우시 비점오염원은 주로 불투수면적에서 오염물질이 주변 하천이나 호수에 유입되어 수생태계에 악영향을 미치게 된다. 비점오염원 중 도로 노면에서 발생하는 오염물질은 농지나 가축시설에서 발생하는 오염물질(부유물질 및 유기물) 등과 달리 주로 차량에서 발생하는 오염물질이 주를 이루고 있다. 강우시 토양의 수분포화가 충분히 이루어진 후 강우강도에 따라 유출이 발생하는 농경지와는 달리 도로 노면 유출수는 누적된 오염물질들이 강우시 한꺼번에 유출되기에 강우 초기 채수 간격을 짧게 하여 수질을 분석하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 강원도 횡성군을 관통하는 영동고속국도의 횡성휴게소 불투수 노면에서 발생하는 비점오염물질을 알아보기 위해 모니터링 후 수질분석으로 노면 유출수 성분을 알아보고, 오염부하량을 계산하여 유량가중평균농도(EMC, Event Mean Concentration)와 초기세척효과(Mass First Flush effect)을 산정하였다. 이후 타 토지이용에서의 유출 특성과 고속국도 휴게시설에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 유출 특성에 대해 분석하였다. 추후 본 연구자료는 고속국도와 주변 편의시설 설계시 주변 수생태계에 미치는 영향에 대한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Hydrogeological modelling was performed to evaluate groundwater flow system in Igsan Area. The study area extends over $790km^2$. The geology consists of Jurassic Daebo granite and gneissose granite and Precambrian metamorphic rocks. The capability of pumping yield is the highest in gneissose granite region among them due to comparatively thick weathered zone with thickness ranging from 10m to 25m. The Colorado State University Finite Difference Model was used for the model simulation. The model was divided into 28 rows and 31 columns with variable grid spacing. The model was calibrated under steady-state and unsteady-state conditions. In the steady-state simulation, the model results were compared with measured water table contours in September 1985 with determining hydraulic conductivities and net recharge rates during rainy season. Unsteady state simulation was done to know the aquifer response due to groundwater abstraction. The non- steady state calibration was conducted to determine the distribution and magnitudes of specific yields and discharge/recharge rates during dry season as matching water level altitudes in May 1986. The calibrated model was used to simulate water level vaiation caused by groundwater withdrawal and natural recharge from 1 October, 1985 until 30 September, 1995. The calibrated model can be used to groundwater development schemes on regional groundwater levels, but it cannot be used to simulate local groundwater level change at a specific site.

The lab scale experiments to investigate the geochemical reaction among supercritical $CO_2$-mineral-brine which occurs at $CO_2$ sequestration sites were performed. High pressurized cell system (l00 bar and $50^{\circ}C$) was designed to create supercritical $CO_2$ in the cell, simulating the sub-surface $CO_2$ storage site. From the high pressurized cell experiment, the surface changes of Ca-feldspar, amphibole (tremolite) and olivine, resulted from the supercritical $CO_2$-mineral-brine reaction, were observed and the dissolution of minerals into the brine was also investigated. The mineral slabs were polished and three locations on the surface were randomly selected for the image analysis of SPM and the surface roughness value (SRV) of those locations were calculated to quantify the change of mineral surface for 30 days. At a certain time interval, SPM images and SRVs of the same mineral surface were acquired. The secondary minerals precipitated on the mineral surfaces were also analyzed on SEM/EDS after the experiment. From the experiments, the average SRV of Ca-feldspar increased from 2.77 nm to 20.87 nm for 30 days, suggesting that the dissolution of Ca-feldspar occurs in active when the feldspars contact with supercritical $CO_2$ and brine. For the amphibole, the average SRV increased from 2.54 nm to 8.31 nm and for the olivine from 0.77 nm to 11.03 run. For the Ca-feldspar, $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Si^{4+}$, $K^+$ and $Mg^{2+}$ were dissolved in the highest order and $Si^{4+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ for the amphibole. Fe (or Mg) - oxides were precipitated as the secondary minerals on the surfaces of amphibole and olivine after 30 days reaction. Results suggested that $Ca^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ rich minerals would be significantly weathered when it contacts with the supercritical $CO_2$ and brine at $CO_2$ sequestration sites.

We analyzed the ocean environmental data from water sample and automatic measurement instruments with the Incheon-Jeju passenger ship for 18 times during 4 years from 2001 to 2004. The objectives of this study are to monitor the spatial and temporal variations of ocean environmental parameters in coastal waters of the Yellow Sea using water sample analysis, and to compare and analyze the reliability of automatic measurement sensors for chlorophyll and turbidity using in situ measurements. The chlorophyll concentration showed the ranges between 0.1 to $6.0mg/m^3$. High concentrations occurred in the Gyeonggi Bay through all the cruises. The maximum value of chlorophyll concentration was $16.5mg/m^3$ in this area during September 2004. The absorption coefficients of dissolve organic matter at 400 nm showed below $0.5m^{-1}$ except those in August 2001 During 2002-2003, it did not distinctly change the seasonal variations with the ranges 0.1 to $0.4m^{-1}$. In the case of suspended sediment (SS) concentration, most of the area showed below $20g/m^3$ through all seasons except the Gyeonggi Bay and around Mokpo area. In general SS concentration of autumn and winter season was higher than that of summer. The central area of the Yellow Sea appeared to have lower value $10g/m^3$. The YSI fluorometer for chlorophyll concentration had a very low reliability and turbidity sensor had a $R^2$ value of 0.77 through the 4 times measurements comparing with water sampling method. For the automatic measurement using instruments for chlorphlyll and suspended sediment concentration, McVan and Choses sensor was greater than YSI multisensor. The SeaWiFS SS distribution map was well spatially matched with in situ measurement, however, there was a little difference in quantitative concentration.
