The purpose of this study is to identify the temporal and spatial variation of stable isotopic compositions of surface waters and shallow ground waters at a local watershed(100$Km^2$) near the Muju area. For oxygen and hydrogen isotope analysis, water samples were collected from 19-22 sites during August, October 2001, through April 2002. Seasonal variation in the isotopic compositions of surface waters was clearly shown. However, the degree of such isotopic variation was highly attenuated in shallow ground waters because of mixing with preexisting ground waters. Isotope values of surface waters and ground waters were very similar in each season, indicating that precipitation/ground water/surface water interactions were very active and continuous in the watershed. Stable isotopic ratios of surface waters in the study area were lighter than those of the downstream reach of Geum River on south, indicating “latitude effect”. Both “altitude effect” and “amount effect” were also shown in the stable isotopic ratios of surface waters in the study area as well as seasonal variation of stable isotopes.

Visual MODFLOW를 이용하여 서울지하철 7호선 706공구에 계획된 터널 굴착에 따른 지하수 유동계의 변화를 모사하였다. 경계조건은 모델 영역 내 하천(굴포천)의 경우 일정수두경계, 터널 굴착 구간의 경우 $0.39{\sim}0.58m^2/day$의 전도계수를 갖는 배수경계(Drain), 터널 개착구간은 Inactive cell이 존재하는 일정수두경계 조건으로 설정하였다. 모델 보정은 현장시험을 통해 구해진 수리상수는 일정하게 유지하고 함양률을 변화시키면서 실시하였으며, 정류모사를 반복 수행하여 최적의 함양률(150 mm/yr)을 결정하였다. 모사 결과 터널 구간으로의 지하수 유입량은 굴착 및 개착 완료 시 $623m^3/day$, 터널 완공 후 정류상태의 경우 $584m^3/day$인 것으로 나타났다. Zone Budget을 이용한 유출입량 분석 결과 정류 상태 시 터널 내로 유입되는 지하수의 69%는 터널 인근 하천수의 유입에 기인하며, 나머지 31%는 주변 지역에서 함양된 지하수에 의한 것으로 나타났다.

In rural areas, nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) pollution caused by agricultural activities is a major obstacle to the use of shallow groundwater as domestic water or drinking water. In this study, the water quality characteristics of shallow groundwater in Hyogyo-ri agricultural area of Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do province was studied in connection with land use and chemical composition of soil layer. The average NO3-N concentration in groundwater exceeds the domestic and agricultural standard water qualities of Korea and is caused by anthropogenic sources such as fertilizer, livestock wastewater, and domestic sewage. The groundwater type mainly belongs to Ca(Na)-Cl type, unlike Ca-HCO3 type, a general type of shallow groundwater. The average NO3-N concentration (7.7 mg L-1) in groundwater in rice paddy/other (upstream, ranch, and residential) area is lower than the average concentration (22.8 mg L-1) in farm field area, due to a lower permeability in paddy area than that in farm field area. According to the trend analysis by the Mann-Kendall and Sen tests, the NO3-N concentration in the shallow groundwater shows a very weak decreasing trend with ~0.011 mg L-1yr-1 with indicating almost equilibrium state. Meanwhile, SO42- and HCO3- concentrations display annual decreasing trend by 15.48 and 13.15%, respectively. At a zone of 0 to 5 m below the surface, the average hydraulic conductivity is 1.86×10-5 cm s-1, with a greater value (1.03×10-4cm s-1) in sand layer and a smaller value (2.50×10-8 cm s-1) in silt layer.

This study was to evaluate the stream depletion from groundwater pumping in shallow aquifer using the Hunt's analytical solution (2009) which considers a two-layer leaky aquifer-stream system. From the total 2,187 cases of simulations with combinations of various aquifer and stream properties, the streamflow depletion rates divided by the groundwater pumping rate showed the low values when the stream depletion factor (SDF) is higher than 1,000-10,000, and was more sensitive to the aquitard hydraulic conductivity than the streambed hydraulic conductivity. The comparison of the Hunt's solution (2009) with the Hunt's solution (1999) of a single layer aquifer indicated that the maximum difference between the dimensionless stream depletions calculated by using both solutions is above 0.3, and the stream depletion is significantly affected by the hydraulic properties of the $2^{nd}$ layer as the SDF of the first layer increases. The Hunt's solution (2009) was applied to the real shallow groundwater well that is located in Chunju-Si, and the results revealed that the groundwater pumping has significant effects on streamflow in a short period of time, showing that the dimensionless stream depletion exceeds 0.8 within a few days. It was also found that the shallow groundwater pumping effects on stream depletion are highly dependent on the stream-well distance for the locations with high hydraulic diffusivity of $1^{st}$ layer and low vertical leakance between $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ layers.

A hypothetical repository was assumed to be located at the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) site, and the travel times of radionuclides released from three source positions were calculated. The groundwater flow around the KURT site was simulated and the groundwater pathways from the hypothetical source positions to the shallow groundwater were identified. Of the pathways, three pathways were selected because they had highly water-conductive features. The transport travel times of the radionuclides were calculated by a TDRW (Time-Domain Random Walk) method. Diffusion and sorption mechanisms in a host rock matrix as well as advection-dispersion mechanisms under the KURT field condition were considered. To reflect the radioactive decay, four decay chains with the radionuclides included in the high-level radioactive wastes were selected. From the simulation results, the half-life and distribution coefficient in the rock matrix, as well as multiple pathways, had an influence on the mass flux of the radionuclides. For enhancing the reliability of safety assessment, this reveals that identifying the history of the radionuclides contained in the high-level wastes and investigating the sorption processes between the radionuclides and the rock matrix in the field condition are preferentially necessary.

Most of contaminated groundwater in the study area was contaminated by $NO_3-N$ due to inflow of contaminated shallow surface groundwater inflow into groundwater well. Poor grouting and teared screen have increased contaminated shallow surface groundwater inflow into groundwater well. Contaminated shallow surface groundwater was inflowed into groundwater well throughout faults, joints and fracture zone of ESE-WNW, NNW, NW-SE and NS direction. The objective of this paper is to evaluate an improvement of water quality for contaminated groundwater by $NO_3-N$ using compression packer. For this study groundwater samples collected from 46 groundwater wells were analyzed to clarify $NO_3-N$ contents. Groundwater wells over 10 mg/L in $NO_3-N$ content is 9 wells showing 20% among total samples. $NO_3-N$ contents after compression packer installation showed 26~81% low value compared with before compression packer.

지하수 관정의 위치에 따라 대수층과 인근 하천의 수리특성이 다양하여 하천수량에 미치는 지하수 양수의 영향이 공간적으로 다르게 발생하며, 그 영향을 지도(map)상에 표출한 것을 가칭 지하수 양수 영향구역도(국토교통부, 2014)라 한다. 본 연구에서는 황구지천 하류유역에 대해 하천주변 천부대수층 지하수 양수에 따른 하천수 감소량을 Hunt(1999, 2009)의 해석해로 산정하고 그 결과를 바탕으로 지하수 양수 영향구역도를 작성하였다. 지하수 양수 영향구역도 작성에 필요한 입력자료를 구축하기 위해서 현장에서 직접 양수시험을 수행하여 대수층 수리상수를 산정하고 기존 문헌값을 함께 이용하여 수리상수의 공간분포도를 작성하였다. 또한 양수시험공에 인접한 하천의 바닥에 피조미터 및 시피지미터를 설치하여 하상수리전도도를 측정하였다. 하천주변 및 하상의 수리상수값을 Hunt 해석해에 대입하여 지하수 양수량 대비 하천수 감소율을 30m 크기의 셀 단위로 산정하고 이를 구글어스상에 공간적으로 표출하였다. 하천구역에서 300m 이내 지역에서 지하수를 양수할 경우에는 양수기간 5년동안 평균적으로 양수량의 70%를 초과하는 하천수량의 감소가 일어나는 것으로 분석되었다. 지하수 양수 영향구역도를 활용하면 지하수 개발 이용자 및 허가 관련 행정기관이 지하수 관정의 공간적인 위치에 따른 하천수 감소 정도를 정량적으로 쉽게 파악할 수 있다.

천부대수층-심부대수층-하천-양수정 시스템에 대해 개발된 Ward & Lough 해석해와 국내 시험유역을 대상으로 개발된 양수량 대비 하천수 감소량 산정공식 (한강홍수통제소, 2018)을 광주천인근에 실제로 위치한 지하수 관정에 적용하여 지하수 취수로 인해 하천의 수량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석 대상관정은 하천에서 약 67 m 떨어진 공업용수 공급을 위한 지하수개발 이용시설로서 착정심도 100 m, 착정구경 150 mm, 취수계획량 $200m^3$/일, 수중펌프 5 Hp 등의 시설제원을 가진다. 해석해 및 경험공식 적용을 위한 기본 입력자료로 투수량계수, 저류계수 등의 수리상수값은 해당 관정의 지하수개발 이용 영향조사서에서 발췌하였고, 측정되지 않은 일부 입력값은 문헌조사를 통해 적절한 값을 가정하여 사용하였다. 하천의 수량에 미치는 지하수 양수 영향을 예측한 결과 지하수 허가기간 5년동안 취수계획량의 약 80 %를 넘는 하천수 감소율이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었다. 연구 대상관정과 같이 하천에 매우 근접한 지역에서 지하수를 이용할 경우 하천수 취수에 준하는 영향을 보일 수 있기 때문에 수자원의 효율적인 이용을 위해서는 하천수와 하천 인근 지하수의 통합적 관리가 필요할 것이다.

Geochemical composition of fracture filling minerals and groundwater was investigated to characterize geochemical characteristics of groundwater system at the KURT site. Minerals such as calcite, illite, laumontite, chlorite, epidote, montmorillonite, and kaolinite, as well as I/S mixed layer minerals were detected in the minerals extracted from the fracture surfaces of the core samples. The groundwater from the DB-1, YS-1 and YS-4 boreholes showed alkaline conditions with pH of higher than 8. The electrical conductivity (EC) values of the groundwater samples were around $200{\mu}S/cm$, except for the YS-1 borehole. Dissolved oxygen was almost zero in the DB-1 borehole indicating highly reduced conditions. The Cl- concentration was estimated around 5 mg/L and showed homogeneous distribution along depths at the KURT site. It might indicate the mixing between shallow groundwater and deep groundwater. The shallow groundwater from boreholes showed $Ca-HCO_3$ type, whereas deep groundwater below 300 m from the surface indicated $Na-HCO_3$ type. The isotopic values observed in the groundwater ranged from -10.4 to -8.2‰ for ${\delta}^{18}O$ and from -71.3 to -55.0‰for ${\delta}D$. In addition, the isotope-depleted water contained higher fluoride concentration. The oxygen and hydrogen isotopic values of deep groundwater were more depleted compared to the shallow groundwater. The results from age dating analysis using $^{14}C$ indicated relatively younger (2000~6000yr old) groundwater compared to other european granitic groundwaters such as Stripa (Sweden).

Hydrogeological systems in a metrnpolitan area can be understood by analyzing the groundwater disturbing factors such as constructions and land applications, the groundwater usage for domestic and industrial purposes, and the groundwater pumpage to lower the groundwater level for the structural safety of subway and underground facilities. This study is part of the study performed to understand the groundwater system in the Seoul area and it is focusing on the hydraulic properties. Groundwater well inventory, barometric efficiency measurements, pumping and slug tests, and long-term groundwater monitoring have been perfonrmed during the last 2 years. The relations between Han River and the groundwater around the river also have been observed. These observations and test data, together with the information on soil distribution, geology, and logging data are used to construct a database and GIS(Geographic Information System) presentation system using ARC/INFO. Barometric efficiencies appeared to have no special trends associated with well depths, which maeans that the degree of confinement of the crystaline rock aquifer of the Seoul area is distributed locally depending on the developrnent of fractures. Hydraulic conductivities exponentialiy decrease with well depth. The stage of Han River fluctuates according to the tidal movement of nearby seawater but the tidal effects attenuate due to the underwater dams. Groundwater levels in the Seoul area seem to have declined for the last two years,but it is not certain that the declination represents the long-term trend.
