A pilot-scale experiment of floodplain filtration with a filtration depth of 3.6m was performed employing flood/rest type raw-water supply system in an effort to find ways to improve river water quality by additional treatments of discharged effluent from sewage treatment plant. Soil samples were taken from 3 sites including Gumi, Daegu and Gimhae along the Nakdong river. Reductions of infiltration rates following increases in operating time was investigated in each soil sample, along with the analysis of removal efficiencies of various pollutants according to different depths and infiltration rates. The results show incremental development of clogging on the soil surface with increases in operation time, and illustrate exponential decrease in the infiltration rate. The time required for the removal of the clog from the soil surface was longer than 2 weeks for all soil samples analyzed. The stable infiltration rates for soils were 5 m/day for Gumi and for Daegu and Gimhae was 1 m/day. In unsaturated soils dissolved oxygen levels increased following the increase of filtration depth, suggesting that alternating application of flood and rest for raw-water supply effectively keeps the soil environment aerobic. For all soils, the nature of pollutant removal depending on the depth of filtration remained the same regardless of the infiltration rate. Most of the BOD and turbidity were removed within 1.2 m, about 30% of COD was removed within 3.6m and was expected to be removed further with increases in filtration depth. Nitrification occurred near the surface of all soils; however there was no significant removal of nitrogen in the filtration depths tested in this study. Although removal rate of phosphorus was low for Gumi's soil, it was high enough for other soils, suggesting that the method developed in this study could significantly improve river water quality.

Intact measurement of leaf water content was attempted using the transmission of beta radiation. Prior to the experiments, two tested plants, rice and soybean, were grown in 1/5000a wagner pot. The moisure ratio of plant leaves were measured with the beta radiation transmission method using a G-M detector and $^{99}$ Tc as the beta ray sou-rce. Beta radiation transmission showed a tendancy to increase with the passage of time after leaf cutting. However, it showed a tendancy to decrease with water supply for the lack of water. A positive correlation was found between the leaf water content and beta radiation transmission. The mutiple regression analysis about leaf water content was obtained that the coefficient of partial regression for beta radiation transmission was much higher(rice; -0.863, soybean; -0.904) than that for specific leaf area(rice; 0.007, soybean: 0.004).

지하수함양은 크게 강우 중에 침투되는 자연함양, 하천 또는 저수지에서 침투되는 지표수 함양, 인위적으로 물을 지하로 침투시키는 인공함양 등이 있는데, 본 연구에서는 강우에 의해 지하로 침투되는 자연함양율을 구하기 위하여 다음 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 지하수함양율을 산출하고자 하였다. 첫 번째 누적강수량과 지하수수위곡선을 이용하는 방법(문상기, 우남칠, 2001)은 강우기간 중 누적강수량을 고려하여 지하수위변화로부터 지하수함양율을 추정하고, 두 번째 무강우기간 동안의 지하수위감수곡선을 이용하는 방법(최병수, 안중기, 1998)은 토양특성, 증발산을 배재한 상태에서 무강우기간의 지하수위감쇠곡선으로부터 함양량을 추정한다. 즉 같은 지역에서 선행강우기간 중 지하수침투가 시작되는 강우량과 어떤 시점에서의 강우기간 중 지하수침투가 시작되는 강우량의 차이가 토양함수조건에 따라 다를 수 있으나 평균개념으로 볼 때 그 차이가 무시될 수 있다고 가정하여 토양특성을 배재하고, 지하수수위가 지표에서 1.0~l.5m이상 되면 지하수로부터의 증발산은 무시될 수 있다고 가정하고 있다. 연구지역은 충청북도 청원군 북일면과 북이면에 위치하며, 지하수위 장기관측은 암반관정과 충적관정을 두 지점에 설치하여 총 4개의 관측정에서 지하수위자동측정기 Orphimedes (기포식수위계, OTT Hydrometrie사 제작)로 1시간 간격으로 지하수위변화를 기록하였다(그림1, 그림2). 강우량은 현장에서 자기우량계(모델명 : HGR-200, SEBA Hydrometrie사 제작)를 설치하여 직접 측정하였고, 자료가 유실된 기간은 청주기상대 자료로 보완하였다. 그러나 본 연구지역은 면적이 32.35$\textrm{km}^2$이고 1998년까지 개발된 기설관정의 개수가 무려 1,547여공으로 단위면적당 관정수는 48여공/$\textrm{km}^2$로 다른 지역에 비해 관정이 밀집되어 있어 지하수연간사용량을 무시할 수 없다. 그림2에서 보는 바와 같이 주변관정들의 양수로 인하여 관측정에서의 지하수위변화가 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러므로 본 연구지역을 대상으로 추정한 함양율은 지하수이용에 따른 지하수위하강에 대한 보정을 할 필요가 있으며 지하수이용실태조사를 추가로 하여 그 이용량만큼을 지하수함양량에 더하여야 할것이다.

이 방법은 종전에 썼던 Cylinder method의 현장 측정이 아니고 시료를 시험하여 그 결과치로서 구하게끔 되어 있다. 삼수량을 공극율, 포화도 및 시간의 함수로 표시했으니 이를 실험과 이론을 부합시켜 도표화시켰다. 그리하여 종전에 쓰던 방법보다 더 정확한 결과치를 얻을 수 있게 만들었다.

Bioremediation has been recognized as one of the best tools for hydrocarbon contaminated soil and nearby groundwater which had been heavily polluted in industrial areas. Degradation of PAHs in PAH-polluted loam soil were investigated under polyurethane foam environment with adsorbed bacteria Pseudomonas sp. (KCCM 40055) in order to acquire vital data for the environmentally-friendly process and material. macroporous commercial polyurethane foam that is widely used for microbial attachment in such as sewage treatment was selected for experiments. We also examined the microbial adherence upon the media. SR9-35C/G among the PU samples showed the highest degree of attachment and bioconversion. The conversion efficiency increased with moisture content of soil.

The packed column experiments were conducted with commercial Jumunjin sand(SOM content : 0.01 %) and a field soil(SOM content : 0.08 %) in order to understand the effects of water content and soil organic matter(SOM) on the transport of gaseous ozone in unsaturated soil contaminated with phenanthrene. Water content and SOM content were artificially controlled. As water content increased, earlier breakthrough was observed in the beginning of BTC of ozone, because direct contact of gaseous ozone with SOM and phenanthrene was prevented by water film formed between soil particles and gaseous ozone. The total removal of phenanthrene in Jumunjin sand was not affected by water content which was more than 99% at different water content(4.4, 8, 17.3%). However, the removal in field soil at water content 6.5 % and 20 % was 98% and 80 %.

400ppm의 pentachlorophenol(PCP) 오염토양을 5$m\ell$ scintillation vial의 multi reactor와 1L 크기의 one reactor를 써서 Hydrogen peroxide와 Hemoglobin 촉매반응에 의해 PCP 분해정도를 조사하였다. 대부분 초기에 반응이 빠르게 진행되므로 time scale을 8시간 이내와 한달여기간동안 살펴보았다. 8시간동안의 PCP 분해정도는 일차함수로 동력학 계수가 -0.0233으로 나타났고, 이때 제거효율은 60.8%이고 one reactor의 경우 30일동안 80%의 제거효율을 보였다. PCP 회수율은 multi reactor의 경우 96.5($\pm$6.7)이고 one reactor(fan scale)의 경우 90.1%였다.

The sorption of radioactive cobalt and ruthenium on alumina, silica gel, zeolite 3A, kaolin and Na-bentonite has been studied as a function of pH. nuclide concentration and ionic strength. Retardation factor for cobalt and ruthenium on soil minerals was determined through porosity measurement. Hydrolysed species, cobalt and ruthenium interact with solid surfaces by physical adsorption processes. Freundlich sorption isotherms for cobalt and ruthenium are effectively linear. The sorption decreases with increasing ionic strength for cobalt and ruthenium. The effect of increasing porosity on the retardation factor countered the effect of a significant increase in the distribution coefficient.

This study analyzed shear stress and erosion characteristic of a vegetated levee embankment with root fiber quantity, which is an important factor for evaluating the stability of it. The averaged root fiber quantity in a vegetated levee revetment was measured by the sampler manufactured by this research. The Phragmites Japonica Steud which is somewhat dominant species in a vegetated levee embankment was selected as an experimental vegetation. As a result of experiment of each flow regime, the shear stress was increased while root fiber quantity was increased and the erosion rate was exponentially decreased as the root fiber quantity was increased. The erosion rate was exponentially decreased as the shear stress was increased which is shown that the increase of shear stress by root fiber quantity results in the increase of erosion resistance in a vegetated soil. The relationship between shear stress and erosion rate with root fiber quantity were analyzed and their regression equations were suggested with high determination coefficients. The hydraulic stability is governed by the increase of shear stress by root fiber quantity and the Froude number of flow characteristic in a vegetated levee revetment.

Three study areas of Kwanak campus(Seoul National University), Gapyung and Boeun were selected and classified according to bedrock types in order to investigate soil-gas radon concentrations. Several soil-gas samples showed relatively high radon concentrations in the residual soils which derived from granite bedrock. It also showed that water content of soil and the degree of radioactivity disequilibrium was a secondary factor governing radon emanation and distribution of radon radioactivity. The results of radon concentrations and working levels for forty rooms in Kwanak campus, Seoul National University, showed that indoor basement rooms under poor ventilation condition can be classified as high radon risk zone having more than EPA guideline(4 pCi/L). Some results of section analysis which was surveyed in the fault zone of Kyungju and Gapyung area confirmed the existence of fault-associated radon anomalies with a meaning of radon risk zone.
