북한강은 한강의 제 1 지류로 지리적 이점과 풍부한 유량으로 많은 댐들이 건설 되었다. 북한강 본류에는 6개의 크고 작은 댐이 있는데 이들 중 4개가 홍수조절 능력이 없는 발전용댐이다. 이 댐들은 발전효율 향상과 범람으로 인한 저수지 붕괴에 대비하기 위하여 수위를 일정하게 유지하는 방식으로 운영되고 있다. 그러나 최근에 발생하는 집중호우와 게릴라성 폭우는 이러한 목표를 달성하기 힘들게 하고 있다. 지금까지 댐 운영을 위한 유입량 예측에 관련된 연구는 많이 있었지만 대부분 예측 단위가 1시간 이상이었다. 본 연구의 대상이 된 북한강 발전용댐은 저수용량이 작아 적은 양의 유입에도 수위가 급변하는 특징이 있기 때문에 1시간 단위로 유입량을 예측하는 모형은 실제 운영에 적용하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 댐의 운영자가 수문 개도 의사결정에 참고할 수 있는 유입량 자료를 생성하기 위하여 10분 단위 유입량을 예측하였다. 또한 댐들이 직렬로 배치된 유역의 특징을 고려하여 상류에 댐이 있는 경우에는 상류 댐의 방류량을 고려하였다. 본 연구는 뉴로 퍼지 기법을 사용하였으며 2004~2016년까지 발생한 호우 사상을 이용하여 모형을 구성하고 검증하였다.

BACKGROUND: To investigate distribution and seasonal variation of concentration and flux of pesticides in Han river basin, water samples were examined at 24 sites in 2012 and 2014. METHODS AND RESULTS: Water samples were collected four times per year and subjected to liquid-liquid partition extraction followed by GC-ECD/NPD analysis. Of fifteen pesticides detected, iprobenfos, diazinon, isoprothiolane, endosulfan sulfate and oxadiazon were detected in a higher frequency, while fenoxanil, carbofuran, fenitrothion, butachlor and metolachlor were only detected in a sample. Pesticides with high occurrences, iprobenfos, diazinon, isoprothiolane, endosulfan sulfate and oxadiazon were detected in residue level of 0.01-0.46, 0.01-0.24, 0.03-0.85, 0.02-0.06 and 0.05-0.24 ㎍/L, respectively. Carbofuran and acetanilide herbicides were found at lower frequencies, but their concentrations were one order of magnitude higher than those of the others. CONCLUSION: Discharge of pesticides in downstream area were mainly contributed from rice farming and suburban horticulture, while pesticide occurrences in upstream area, such as Donggang river basin were caused by highland agriculture for cabbage and potato production. Despite the influx of pesticides from tributaries through intensive agriculture areas, pesticide concentration in the main stream water was low due to the dilution effect from the upstream. Therefore, the water quality was considered to be good at the most downstream, the effluent of Paldang dam.

The river cross section in the input/output data which are needed in the area of river flow analysis is very important factor. The bottom elevation of actual river cross section has to be correctly reflected to obtain correct results when two dimensional flow analysis is conducted for natural river. But to reflect virtually the bottom elevation of river cross section is impossible. The objective of this study is to suggest a method for creating equi-distance river cross section by using both HEC section and ArcView and constructing the finite element mesh. The main channels of Han and Nakdong river were selected and equi-distance river cross sections constructed in this study have shown good agreement with the observed river cross sections. In addition, high quality finite element meshes can be applied to many areas of study such as finite element analysis for water quality and two dimensional flow analysis using the suggested method for equi-distance river cross sections in this study.

Identification of the target species of 2-MIB (2-methyllisoborneol) production is crucial in the management of off-flavor problem in the freshwater system. This study was conducted to identify 2-MIB-producing Pseudanabaena strains occurring in the North Han River system using molecular genetic method. Eleven phenotypes of Pseudanabaena were isolated from several mainstream sites of the North Han River, including Sambong-ri, Joam-myun, and Lake Uiam areas. Despite of morphological similarity of the strains, the phylogenetic analysis using 16S rDNA classified them into different species with low genetic similarity (40~55%). Isolated Pseudanabaena strains were converged to four species; Pseudanabaena cinerea, P. yagii, P. mucicola, and P. redekei. Among them, the 2-MIB synthesizing gene (mibC) was detected in P. cinerea, P. yagii, and P. redekei. However, actual 2-MIB production was detected only in P. cinerea and P. redekei based on gas chromatography analysis. This study is the first report of the molecular identification of Pseudanabaena strains and their 2-MIB production potential in Korea. The results of this study provides an evidence of species diversity of Pseudanabaena occurring in the North Han River.

The water quality simulation was carried out to predict water quality in Tan stream of the Han river using water quality model, QUAL2E. In the end, the future variations in water quality of Tan stream were simulated and the prediction of the impacts of Tan stream on water quality in the Han river was carried out by applying the Tan stream simulation results into the model. The results are as follows. The predicted results of future water quality of Tan stream suggested that the concentrations of BOD, T-N and T-P at Chungdam bridge would increase to 0.68~0.77 mg/$\ell$, 1.33~1.62 mg/$\ell$ and 0.05~0.06 mg/$\ell$, respectively in 2006 and 2011 and that with the implementation of advanced treatment in Sungnam and Tanchun sewage treatment plants, the concentration of T-N would be reduced more as the amount of treated sewage increase, while the concentration of T-P would stay 0.49 mg/$\ell$. The results obtained from simulation of the impacts of future Tan stream water quality improvement on the main stream of the Han river showed that with implementation of advanced treatment in both Sungnam and Tanchun sewage treatment plants, the concentration of T-N, T-P and chlorophyll-a at Hangang bridge and Heangju bridge would be reduced by 11.6%, 7.7% and 20.9%, respectively in 2..6 and by 13.6%, 9.4% and 22.2%, respectively in 2011, which indicates that the effect on the reduction of T-N and T-P would be relatively significant while the effect on the decrease of algae would be slight.

This study is to review the site of Seoul and its urbanized area expansion in relation with a geomorphic environments. Surveying on the urbanized area of Seoul by period and related geomorphic conditions found the following conclusions. Seoul urbanized area had been expanded from the cheonggyecheon drainage basin to its surrounding hills and marshland. The marshland development began during the Japanese period from around the tributaries of the Hangang river and expanded to the areas by the main stream of the river. The extensive marshland at the point where the main stream and its tributaries of the river join has been developed relatively new. The marshland development, which took advanced engineering skills and a huge investment, is comparatively later and also involves large additional expenses to keep the areas from food damages. Judging from the above findings, this study concluded that the urbanized area expansions in a big metropolitan city such as Seoul, are greatly influenced by geomorphic environments and the importance of geomorphic conditions still hold true even today when scientific and technological developments have reached unprecedented heights.

Analyzed by using finite element method was 2-dimensional pollutant transtport phenomenon considering longitudinal and lateral direction in river. The Galerkin's finite element method based on linear interpolation is used and triangle is adopted as an element. In a number of model test attempts it has been demonstrated that the results calculated by the model are in good agreement with analytical solutions in a simplified channel where there is a known solution available. Actual application of the model is attempted along the 9km reach of the Han River considering the influx of the Tan Cheon and the Joongryang Cheon. The resultant 2-dimensional BOD concentrations profile in the reach is exhibiting more realistically the field situations than conventional 1-dimensional models are.

The characteristics of water quality in the downstream of the Han River were analyzed by statistical techniques. Basic characteristics, areal and temporal variations, and correlations of water quality data were investigated. Monthly water quality data have been investigated systematically by exploring data analysis, including time series plot, summary statistics, distribution test, time dependence test, seasonality test and flow relatedness test. Results show that water quality data in this river have seasonality. And applicability of stochastic models such as Thomas-Fiering model and ARMA(1,1) model was identified. From the examination of water quality data related to discharge, it was found that DO and SS are sensitive to water temperature rather than discharge, while BOD and COD are sensitive to discharge at dry seasons. Seasonal periodicities were identified in all water quality variables from the cross correlation analysis.

Estuary is unique habitat ground under substantial changes of water quality, river side, bed material, and micro topography. Construction of SinGok underwater weir with excessive dredging for downstream of weir has changed hydraulic conditions of Han River. This study investigates spatial changes of estuary and expansion process of vegetation on sandbar for JangHang estuary in Han River through analysis of physical and ecological characteristics. As a result of investigation, we found that area of sandbar in JangHang estuary is expanded six times compared between 1985 and 2006, and area of Phragmites australis is gradually decreased while area of Salix subfragilis Anderson. is increased. Also the analysis result of soil layer shows that the Jang-Hang wetlands are created by effect from river, and woody plants are settled from middle part of wetlands, then spread to upper and lower part of wetlands.

In detecting pathogeuic viruses in water sample, polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) amplification was uscd. In order lo obtain the intact viral particlc, five concentration techniques were compared and an improved procedure was developed with some modifications. Among them, adsorption-elution~EG precipitation and flocculatio~~iultracentriEugation were more efficient than others with thc detection limit of 10 PFU $ml^{-1}$. By the additional step removing inhibitory compounds for PCR reaction, the purity of the concentrated sample was improved and the detection limit was lowered by one order (to 1 PFU $ml^{-1}$. To examine the availability of the optimized procedure for field surveys, the distributions of enterovirus in Han River were estimated using the novel procedure. Seventy-five percentage (618) of sewagc samples and twenty percentage (2110) of river water samples were positive for enterovirus. These results indicate that adsorption-elutionPEG precipitation by PCR method is useful for the prompt and handy monitoring of viral contaminaiton in water environment and pathogenic viruses are widely distributed in water environments of Seoul.
