The purpose of this study is to develop unmanned equipment that can automatically move to the desired point and measure water quality at the correct depth. For this purpose, we constructed a water sampling lift and water sampling container, an unmanned vessel equipped with a VRS-GPS, an acoustic echo sounder, and a water quality sensor. Also, we developed an automatic navigation algorithm and program, an automatic water sampling program, and a water quality map generation program. As a result of the experiment in the detention pond, the unmanned vessel sailed along the planned route with an accuracy of about 93% within the error range of 3m. In addition, the water quality sensor installed in the lift was able to acquire the water quality of the target area in real time and transmit it to the server via wireless Internet, and it was possible to monitor the water quality of each site in real time. Through field experiments, the water sampling lift was able to control the desired length with an accuracy of about 94%. The stretch length accuracy experiment of the water sampling lift was impossible to measure directly in the water, so it was replaced land-based experiment. We also found some unstable problems due to the weight of the water sampling lift and the weight of the air compressor to operate the water container. Except these two problems, we accomplished purpose of this study. An automated water quality measurement method using an unmanned vessel can be used to measure the quality of water in a difficult to access area and to secure the safety of the worker.

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.

The automatic water quality monitoring system (AWQMS) have been installed to immediately response to any pollution incident. It also make it possible to conduct the task efficiently regarding water quality control. The purpose of this study is to enhance reliability by securing accuracy of automatic water quality data through quality assessment (QA) for temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), electric conductivity (EC), total organic carbon (TOC). The result of comparison between manual and automatic data, relative accuracy of general items (temperature, pH, EC, DO) and TOC were mostly satisfied with guideline (i.e. less than 20%). On the other hand, relative accuracy of DO between sampling site and housing site was somewhat against the guideline. The contamination by attaching algae and microorganism in the pipeline is considered as main cause. After backwashing the pipeline, DO concentration was increased up to 53%. Therefore, pipeline management is recognizable as important thing to secure reliability of water quality data.

Haptophyte algae were collected at 67 sites in the East Sea, the Yellow Sea and the South Sea of Korea from October 2002 to April 2003. In the Yellow Sea, the seawater samples occasionally were collected in nearshore pools during low tide events. Haptophyte algae also were observed in samples from lagoons that contained some degree of salts from the East Sea. Haptophyte algae consisted of Prymnesium sp. of. parvum, Chrysochromulina spp. and Phaeocystis globosa.

최근에 들어 환경보전과 지속가능한 하천관리의 중요성이 대두되고 있으며, 통합물관리에 있어 수리량과 수질을 연계한 통합 모니터링의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 수리량과 수질 분야에 대한 모니터링 기술은 지속적인 연구가 이루어져 왔으나, 각 분야의 개별적 연구로 인해 수리량과 수질을 통합하여 모니터링 하는 기술 개발은 미흡한 수준이다. 또한 수질 측정은 수질오염공정시험기준에 있는 채수 기준에 따라 채수하여 측정하고 있으며, 채수 지점은 하천의 수심별로 달리하여 정해진다. 수리 측정은 현장계측을 통한 2차원적 계측으로 진행하고 있어 수질 측정 시 채수지점과 수리 측정지점은 일치하지 않는다. 동일 지점에서의 수질과 수리량을 동시에 고려하고 있지 못한 모니터링은 본류와 지류의 혼합거동이 많은 국내 하천 특성을 반영하지 못한다. 또한 현재의 수질·수리 모니터링은 ADCP나 다항목수질측정기 같은 고가의 장비를 운영하며, 홍수기와 같은 고위험 계측 조건에서 인력을 통해 측정하고 있기에 고비용의 장비운영비와 인명 피해를 야기시키고 있다. 따라서 무인 원격 기술을 적용한 하천 모니터링 기술과 수질과 수리량의 데이터 연계를 통한 3차원 모니터링 기술의 확보는 하천관리에 있어 매우 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 수중 무인 원격이동체인 ROV와 무인 원격이동체(USV)를 활용한 3차원 수질·수리 모니터링 기술 개발에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 국내 하천 특성을 고려한 혼합거동을 분석하기 위해 ROV에 수중 GPS 장비와 수질센서를 부착시켜 수중 내 2차원으로 측정되는 수리량과 동일한 좌표를 가지는 수질자료를 계측하여 하천의 연직 분포와 수평적 분포를 통해 화학적 수리적 거동을 분석하여 하천의 3차원 혼합거동 양상을 판단할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 무인 원격이동체를 통한 3차원 수질·수리 모니터링 기술은 하천의 3차원 분석에서 수질·수리량 보간 자료로 활용 가능하며, 효율적인 모니터링을 통하여 하천 전반 및 통합물관리에 있어 크게 기여할 것이라 사료된다.

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.

The hydrogeochemical study on the 15 natural waters was carried out in the vicinity of tunnel excavation site of Donghae largely composed of granite and limestone. The water samples can be classified based on their chemical characteristics into two groups; waters draining in the granitic region(group 1) and the limestone region(group 2). This classification was also confirmed by statistical examination through cluster analysis, and the tunnel seepage waters collected at the same site appear to be included in group 1 and 2 by their sampling period, respectively. According to factor analysis, the waters of group 1 art mainly represented by the weathering of plagioclase to kaolinite and those of group 2 are characterized by the dissolution of calcite. Different properties of the tunnel seepage waters are thought to be resulted from the effective waterproofing processes conducted during the sampling interval to the surface and subsurface leakage zones at the granitic region, which contributed to the change of groundwater flow system. However both the tunnel seepage waters seem to have thermodynamically interacted with rock-forming minerals in their wallrocks. The mixing ratio of the waters from two groups and water-rock interactions are evaluated quantitatively for the tunnel seepage waters through the mass balance approach, and the results are identical with the previous conclusions in this study.
