Groundwater in crystalline basement is controlled primarily by tectonic fractures. It is evident that the delineation of the heavily faulted area and/or fractures deeply developped should be considerable value in deep-seated low enthalphy geothermal water. Electrical and electromagnetic methods have effectively been employed to map hydraulic faults and shear zones for groundwater exploration. In this study VLi; dipoledipole resistivity, controlled source audio~frequency magneto-telluric(CSAMT) and magnetic methods were applied in the Bomun resort area, adjacent to Kyongju city, southeastern part of Korea. The integrated geophysical tools employed in this experiment can be manifested themselves as: 1. Magnetic high for granite intrusions which is more favorable for geothermal gradient increase in depth. 2. VLF cross-over trends for mapping linear shallow conductive fractures and shear zones. 3. Dipole-dipole resistivity distributions for the deep-seated(less than 500m in depth) fractures and shear zones. The dipole-dipole resistivity field data were inverted to the true resistivity distribution with two-dimensional automatic inversion program based on the finite-difference method. 4. CSAMT provides an efficient way of delineating fractures and fault zones if the depth is greater than about 500m.

강원도 지역 탄산수에 대해 혼합에 의한 용존 희유원소의 거동특성 및 탄산염 침전물 형성에 따른 REE 분별작용을 살펴보았다. 탄산수들은 화학적으로 $Na-HCO_3형,\; Ca-Na-HCO_3형\; 및\; Ca-HCO_3$형으로 구분되며, 동위원소조성도 유형에 따라 명확히 구분되는 특징을 보인다. 지화학 및 동위원소 자료의 해석 결과, $Na-HCO_$형 탄산수는 지하심부에서 심부 기원 $CO_2$의 공급에 의해 형성된 반면, 다른 두 유형의 탄산수들은 $Na-HCO_$ 형 탄산수와 천부지하수 간의 혼합에 의해 생성되었음을 지시하였다. 탄산수 내 용존 REE 함량은 물 유형에 따라 변화하지만, ∑REE 함량은 TDS, pH, alkalinity, $\delta^{18}O$$\delta^{18}O$ 및 tritium 함량과 좋은 상관성을 보여주어, 천부 지하수와의 혼합된 특징을 나타내었다. Na-HCO$_3$형 탄산수의 용존 REE 패턴은 강한 HREE 부화를 보여주어 이른바 'S-shape'을 나타내는 반면, $Na-HCO_$ 형은 분산되어 있으며 LREE 부화를 보여주었다. $Ca-Na-HCO_3$형은 약한 HREE 분화 패턴을 보여주었다. 탄산수로부터 침전된 침전물과 침전물을 제거한 잔류물의 REE 패턴은 원 탄산수와 거의 유사한 형태를 보여주어, 탄산염 침전물과 잔류물 간의 REE 분별작용은 일어나지 않았음을 나타낸다.지 않았음을 나타낸다.

용인시 백암취수장 주변 지역의 지하수에 대해 기초적인 지화학적 조사를 수행하였다. 현장측정자료에서는 취수정의 pH와 EC값이 주변지하수보다 지표수와 유사한 값을 보이며, 취수정의 용존산소(DO) 함량이 천층지하수보다 높은 값을 보인다. 더구나 취수정의 경우 NO$_3$함량이 10.5-12.1 mg/L이며 주변 지하수는 7.2-25.3 mg/L, 지표수는 13.1-14.9 mg/L로서 취수정의 설치심도가 70-180m로서 상대적으로 깊은 암반층에 설치되어 있다 하더라도 주변지하수 및 인접 지표수의 혼입에 의해 영향을 받아 오염이 진행되고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이와 같이 연구 지역은 현재 취수정이 모두 청미천변에 위치하고 있어서, 현재 암반 지하수로 개발하고 있는 취수정 지하수가 주변 천부지하수 및 지표수에 의한 혼입 및 오염가능성이 높기 때문에, 앞으로 장기적인 모니터링 및 지화학적 연구가 지속적으로 이루어 져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

Hydrogeochemical and isotope ($\delta$$^{18}$ O, $\delta$D, $^3$H, $\delta$$^{13}$ C, $\delta$$^{34}$ S, $^{87}$ Sr/$^{86}$ Sr) studies of various kinds of waters (thermal groundwater, deep groundwater, shallow groundwater, and surface water) from the Yusung area were carried out in order to elucidate their geochemical characteristics such as distribution and behaviour of major/minor elements, geochemical evolution, reservoir temperature, and water-rock interaction of the thermal groundwater. Thermal groundwater of the Yusung area is formed by heating at depth during deep circlulation of groundwater and is evolved into Na-HCO$_3$type water by hydrolysis of silicate minerals with calcite precipitation and mixing of shallow groundwater. High NO$_3$contents of many thermal and deep groundwater samples indicate that the thermal or deep groundwaters were mixed with contaminated shallow groundwater and/or surface water. $\delta$$^{18}$ O and $\delta$D are plotted around the global meteoric water line and there are no differences between the various types of water. Tritium contents of shallow groundwater, deep groundwater and thermal groundwater are quite different, but show that the thermal groundwater was mixed with surface water and/or shallow groundwater during uprising to surface after being heated at depths. $\delta$$^{13}$ C values of all water samples are very low (average -16.3$\textperthousand$%o). Such low $\delta$$^{13}$ C values indicate that the source of carbon is organic material and all waters from the Yusung area were affected by $CO_2$ gas originated from near surface environment. $\delta$$^{34}$ S values show mixing properties of thermal groundwater and shallow groundwater. Based on $^{87}$ Sr/$^{86}$ Sr values, Ca is thought to be originated from the dissolution of plagioclase. Reservoir temperature at depth is estimated to be 100~1$25^{\circ}C$ by calculation of equilibrium method of multiphase system. Therefore, the thermal groundwaters from the Yusung area were formed by heating at depths and evolved by water-rock interaction and mixing with shallow groundwater.

방사성폐기물 처분 연구의 일환으로 화강암지역내 500m 심도의 심부시추공이 착정되었으며, 다중패커시스템이 설치되어 장기적으로 심도별 지하수의 수리 및 화학특성이 모니터링 되고 있다. 지하수 수두값의 심도별 특성은 천부에서 심도 250m까지는 대체로 감소하는 경향을 보이며 250m이하에서 500m 심도까지는 증가하는 경향을 보여준다. 각 심도구간에서의 지하수 수두값은 장기적으로 일정한 값을 보여주지만, 장마기간동안 집중적으로 모니터링된 결과에 따르면 심도 370m 상부에서는 지하수 함양변화에 따라 지하수 수두가 변화되는 반면, 심부구간에서는 지하수 함양변화에 대하여 영향을 받지 않음을 보여준다.

This study focuses on the hydrochemical characteristics in goundwater affected by reclamation at 2000 Sydney Olympic Games site, Sydney, Australia. The Olympic Games site can be divided into three areas, i.e. reclaimed areas; landfill areas and non-infilled areas. In the current work, 'reclaimed areas' were previously estuarine, and were filled with waste materials and are now above present high tide level, whereas 'landfill areas' are areas where deposition of waste materials occurred above sea level. No deposition of waste took place in 'non-infilled areas'. This study was also evaluated by three different types such as deep boreholes, shallow boreholes and standpipes. The hydrochemishy of groundwaters in reclaimed and non-in-filled areas is characterized by Mg- and Ca-enrichment, whereas groundwaters in landfill areas are elevated in K and NO₃. Na, K and Mg are the dominant cations in groundwater from reclaimed areas and Na and K are the dominant cations in groundwater in landfill areas. Na and Mg are the dominant cations in groundwater in deep boreholes, whereas Na and K are the dominant cations in groundwater in shallow boreholes and standpipes. There is no distinct trend in heavy metals with electrical conductivity in the groundwater between the re-claimed, landfill and non-infilled areas. Fe and Mn in landfill areas with respect to reclaimed areas and non-infilled areas show a distinct increase in concentration with declining pH. Mean electrical conductivity values in the deep and shallow boreholes are higher than that of standpipes, but the minimum and maximum value of electrical conductivity in groundwater in standpipes shows remarkably different value, probably due to perched pond. There is no correlation between Cu, Pb, Zn, Cr concentrations in groundwater with pH, from deep boreholes, shallow boreholes and standpipes, except for Fe and Mn, which demonstrate increasing concentrations with declining pH. The results revealed a close association between elevated concentrations in groundwater and the presence of fill materials at the site. Trace metals teachability from re-claimed soils adjacent to estuary plays a significant role in determining their potential environmental risk to surrounding environment.

The groundwater heat pump system(GWHP) is one of the most efficient ground source heat pump system(GSHP) which uses low grade and shallow geothermal energy for cooling and heating purpose. The GWHP system shall be designed properly based on peak block load performance and optimum pumping rate of groundwater comparable to ground coupled heat pump system(GCHP). The optimum pumping rate depends on groundwater temperature at a specific site, size of plate heat exchanger, and total head loss occurred by whole system comprising pumps and pipings. The required optimum flow rates of the system per RT are ranged from 3.8 to 9.8lpm being less than the typical building loop flow of 9.5 to 11.4lpm.

The purposes of this research are to identify the source and the extent of contamination of nitrate in groundwater in a typical agricultural area. The study area has many livestock raising facilities, rice paddies and grape farms. In order to identify the hydrogeological character, we sampled groundwater and surface water in 27 locations and performed chemical analyses. Nitrate-nitrogen is the major contaminant in this area. Approximately 32 ~ 42% of groundwater samples are over the drinking water limit(10 mg/L) and 77% estimated to be entered from artificial sources. The nitrogen isotope analysis indicates animal waste being the major source of nitrate in water samples. Not only presently operating livestock facilities but also abandoned ones influence groundwater quality for a long time.
