The Hydrogeologic data of 455 water wells comprising geologic log and aquifer test were analyzed to determine hydrogeologic characteristics of the Cheju island. The groundwater. of the Cheju island is occurred in unconsolidated pyroclastic deposits and crinker interbedded in highly jointed basaltic and andesic rocks as high level, basal and parabasal types under unconfined condition. The average transmissivity and specific yield of the aquifer are at about 29,300㎡/day and 0.12 respectively, The total storage of groundwater is estimated about 44 billion cubic meters. Average annual precipitation is about 3,390 million ㎥ among which average recharge is estimated for 1,494 million ㎥ being equivalent 44.1% of total annual precipitation with 638 million ㎥ of runoff and 1,256 million ㎥ of evapotranspiration. Based on groundwater budget analysis, the sustainable yield is about 620 million ㎥(41% of annual recharge)and rest is discharging into the sea. The geologic logs of recently drilled thermal water wells indicate that very low-permeable marine sediments(Sehwa-ri formation) composed of loosely cemented sandy silt derived from mainly volcanic ashes at the 1st stage volcanic activity of the area is situated at the 120${\pm}$68m below sea level. Another low-permeable sedimentary rock called Seogipo-formation which is deemed younger than the former marine sediment is occured at the area covering north-west and western part of the Cheju island at the ${\pm}$70m below sea level. If these impermeable beds art distributed as a basal formation of fresh water zone of the Cheju island, the most of groundwater in the Cheju island will be para-basal type. These formations will be one of the most important hydrogeologic boundary and groundwater occurences in the area.

Artificial injection of surplus surface water during wet seasons and recovery is one of possible solutions for conjunctive uses of surface water and groundwater. The methodology is especially attractive for regions of monsoon type weather. In this work a simulation-optimization model is developed to identify an optimal injection system to sustain an over-exploiting freshwater pumping well. The injection well is to be operated during wet seasons only while the pumping well is to be operated throughout an entire year. The objective function is the minimization of injected volume of freshwater. Saltwater intrusion and dry wells are considered as constraints. An example application is made on a small hypothetical island with poor hydrogeologic conditions. The optimization model is successful in determining optimal injection locations and rates for various cases.

하굿둑 실증시험 및 개방 시 하굿둑으로부터 해안지역 대수층의 지하수 내 염분침투를 예방하고 지속가능한 지하수자원 이용과 관리를 위해서 담수(freshwater)와 염수(saltwater)의 경계면 변동 및 분포를 추적하기 위해 지화학적·물리적 접근 연구는 매우 중요하다. 해안 및 하굿둑 주변지역의 담·염수 경계면 특성에 관한 조사 및 분석은 직·간접적 관측방법으로 이뤄진다. 직접 관측방법에는 심도별 전기전도도(Electrical condutivity, EC) 측정 방법으로 1개 정밀센서(CTD-Diver)를 와이어에 연결하여 수동으로 측정하는 방식과 자동 관측센서(CTD-Diver)를 공내 여러 관심심도에 이격거리에 따른 관측센서를 여러 개 설치하여 특정 관심심도별 연속적인 상태를 파악하는 방법이다. 간접 관측방법에는 관심심도별 또는 특정 심도의 지하수 수질을 채취하여 지화학 분석하는 방법이 있다. 직·간접적 관측방법에는 관심심도별 구간의 이격거리와의 공백과 조사시기에 대수층의 해수침투를 파악할 수 있으나 연속적 관측과 예측은 매우 어렵다. 직접적 관측방법 중 1개 정밀센서와 와이어를 이용한 특정 시·공간에 대한 연직 프로파일링 관측은 가능하나, 연속적 관측과 예측 또한 매우 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구는 물리적 방법을 기반으로, 하굿둑 인근의 담수(freshwater)와 염수(saltwater)와의 경계면 분포특성에 관한 연구는 하굿둑 실증시험 시 지하수 내 염분침투에 따른 지하수 환경 등에 대한 전반적 특성 등을 분석하였다. 하구언 일대의 지하수 내 염분침투 및 지하수 오염관리를 위해 실증실험 등 인위적인 요소와 강우, 태풍, 가뭄 등 자연적인 요소에 의해 여러 형태의 분포특성을 보이는 담수와 염수의 분포 및 혼합대의 특성에 따른 담염수의 경계면 형태별 분석을 하는데 목적을 두었다. 해수침투의 예방과 지하수 오염 방지를 위해 심도별 자동 수질측정 장치를 개발하고, 이를 이용한 염지하수의 프로파일링 감시 시스템을 제안하였다.

The location and the shape of freshwater-saltwater transition zones in coastal aquifers are affected by many hydraulic variables. To date most work to determine the effects of these variables are limited to qualitative comparison of transition zones. In this work characteristics of transition zones (maximum intrusion length, thickness, and degree of stratification) are quantified, and effects of principal hydraulic variables(velocity and dispersivity) on these characteristics are studied using a numerical model. Dimensional analysis is used to assemble entire model results. Effects of velocity and dispersivity are seen clearly. From this study, increase in velocity is found to cause shrinkage of transition zones. This observation contradicts claims by some that, because dispersion is proportional to velocity, increase in velocity would cause expansion of transition zones.

해수면 상승과 연안지역의 무분별한 지하수의 이용으로 해수침투는 가속화되고 있다. 해수면 상승과 지하수의 과잉 양수로 인한 연안지역의 대수층은 사용 가능한 담수 지하수자원이 줄어들고 있다. 연안지역의 대수층을 대상으로 해수 침투 영역에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 활발하게 진행되고 있다. GALDIT은 index & ranking 방법을 이용한 지하수자원의 해수침투에 대한 취약성 평가 방법으로 Geographic Information System (GIS)을 통해 주제도에 대한 중첩으로 평가 지수를 산정한다. 한국의 해수침투 취약성 평가에 대한 선행 연구 중 상당수는 제주도를 대상으로 많은 연구가 수행되었으며, GALDIT을 이용하여 해수침투에 대한 취약성 평가가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 내륙의 연안지역을 대상으로 GALDIT을 적용하였다. 한국의 서해안 지역 중 도심지가 밀집되어 있는 북쪽으로 선택하였다. 연구지역은 인천, 아산, 안산, 김포, 화성, 시흥, 평택, 당진, 오산으로 9개의 행정구역으로 구성되어 있다. 9개의 지역은 모두 제조업이 발달되어 도시화가 가속화되고 있으며, 지속적인 인구의 유입이 진행되고 있다. GALDIT은 지속가능한 해안지하수를 위한 수자원 계획을 뒷받침하는 평가 자료로 사용될 수 있으며, 국내 기후 및 공간 특성 매개변수를 고려한 가중치 및 평가 기준의 확대 등이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Cheju Island formed by Quarternary volcanism provides highly permeable hydrogeological environment. To meet the increasing demand of water in the island, many groundwater wells have been developed. The environmental isotopes(oxygen-18, deuterium, tritium) and chemical analysis of water samples from the eastern part of the island were carried out to ascertain whether groundwater in the eastern part of the island was contaminated by sea water. The result of tritium analysis indicated fast infiltration of meteoric water into underground and rapid mixing process between rain water and groundwater. The results of oxygen-18 and deuterium analysis demonstrated that most of the wells in the eastern part of the island were influenced by sea water intrusion. Chemical analysis of water samples revealed that most groundwater in study area were classified into Na-Cl type and showed high chloride/bicarbonate ratios. Sea water intrusion in the northeastern part of the island has proceeded at least 3 km within the coastaline, and in the south eastern part about 700m.

Recently the ground-water development using the ground-water dam was proposed for the efficient use of the limited water resources especially for islands or seaside area. But in operating the ground-water dam adjacent to seaside an excessive pumping causes the sea-water intrusion which is caused by the drawdown of ground-water level. In this study, the effect of the recharging well method to reduce the sea-water intrusion was evaluated, and was applied to the downstream of the Ssangcheon ground-water dam site. The SUTRA model was used to simulate the salinity transport in the unsaturated and saturated zone. As the results, the effect of recharging method on the downstream of the ground-water dam was proven to be very efficient to reduce the salinity in the pumping well, and especially the best result was shown at the case that the recharging well is located at 40∼60m from the cutoff wall and the recharging rate is up to 6∼7％.

Water supply is decreasing due to climate change, and coastal and island regions are highly dependent on groundwater, reducing the amount of available water. For sustainable water supply in coastal and island regions, it is necessary to accurately diagnose the current condition and efficiently distribute and manage water. For a precise analysis of the groundwater flow in the coastal island region, submarine fresh groundwater discharge was calculated for the Seongsan basin in the eastern part of Jeju Island. Two methods were used to estimate the thickness of the fresh groundwater. One method employed vertical interpolation of measured electrical conductivity in a multi depth monitoring well; the other used theoretical Ghyben-Herzberg ratio. The value using the Ghyben-Herzberg ratio makes it impossible to accurately estimate the changing salt-saltwater interface, and the value analyzed by electrical conductivity can represent the current state of the freshwater-saltwater interface. Observed parameter was distributed on a virtual grid. The average of submarine fresh groundwater discharge fluxes for the virtual grid was determined as the watershed's representative flux. The submarine fresh groundwater discharge and flux distribution by year were also calculated at the basin scale. The method using electrical conductivity estimated the submarine fresh groundwater discharge from 2018 to 2020 to be 6.27 × 10⁶ m³/year; the method using the Ghyben-Herzberg ratio estimated a discharge of 10.87 × 10⁶ m³/year. The results presented in this study can be used as basis data for policies that determine sustainable water supply by using precise water budget analysis in coastal and island areas.

최근 수자원 이용량의 증가 및 수자원 공급의 부족에 따라 대안으로 제시되고 있는 지하수 이용은 매년 크게 증가하고 있다. 내륙 지역의 지하수 개발 시와 비교할 때 해안 지역의 지하수 개발에는 해수침투 현상에 대하여 추가적 고려가 필요하다. 알려진 바와 같이 해안 지역의 과잉 양수와 해수면 상승 으로 해수침투가 더욱 깊이 침투하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대해 정략적인 해수 침투길이 산정과 더불어 해수침투를 허용가능한 범위 내로 제한 시키는 지하수 개발이 필요하다. 해수침투 저감 공법에는 저투수차수벽 설치, 담수주입공법, 해수양수공법으로 크게 3가지로 구분할 수 있다. 저투수차수벽의 해수침투 저감 효율은 크지만 비용이 비싸다는 단점으로 본 연구에서 제외시켰다. 담수주입공법은 대수층에 담수를 주입하여 해수침투를 저감시키는 공법으로 인근에 양질의 수원을 필요로 하는 단점이 있다. 해수양수는 해안가에 양수정을 설치하여 해수침투를 저감시키지만 양수정에서의 담수가 혼합되어 담수낭비가 생기는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 해안지하수의 해수침투를 저감시키기 위한 방법중 담수주입과 해수양수공법의 효율을 검증하고 각각 공법의 장단점을 비교하였다. 지하수 경계면 모델을 이용하여 각각의 수리수문 변수들이 미치는 영향과 해수침투 정도를 사례별로 연구하였다. 담수주입공법의 경우 담수주입량 많을수록 해수침투가 저감되는 경향이 있지만 최적의 담수주입량을 찾는데 목적이 있다. 해수양수공법에는 해수양수량이 증가하고 해수양수정의 위치가 해안선에 접할수록 해수침투 저감 효과가 있었다. 담수주입공법과 해수양수공법을 해수침투 저감을 위해 해안가에 적용할 경우 해당 지역의 특성을 면밀히 분석하여 적용해야 효과를 볼 수 있다.

This study conducted numerical simulations using LES-WASS-3D ver. 2.0 to analyze the seawater intrusion characteristics of the incident waves in a coastal aquifer. LES-WASS-3D directly analyzed the nonlinear interaction between the seawater and freshwater in a coastal aquifer, as well as the wave-current interaction in the coastal area. First, the LES-WASS-3D results were compared with the existing experimental results for the mean water level under wave action in the coastal aquifer and seawater penetration into the coastal aquifer. The mean water level, shape and position of the seawater-freshwater interface, and intrusion distance were well implemented in the results. This confirmed the validity and effectiveness of LES-WASS-3D. The overall seawater penetration distance increases in the coastal aquifer as a result of wave set-up and run-up in the swash zone caused by continuous wave actions, and it increases with the wave height and period. Furthermore, a numerical verification was performed by comparing the suggested existing structure and newly suggested curtain wall as a measure against seawater penetration. An existing underground dam showed a better effect with increased height. Additionally, the suggested curtain wall had a better effect when the embedded depth was increased.
