Variations of load in both DOM and RDOM of inflowing rivers to lakes were in the range of 5.01-7.29(${\times}10^2$ kg/day) for AD lake and 1.23-3.75(${\times}10^3$ kg/day) for JY lake during the research period excluding the period directly affected by the strong rainy season and the monsoon and typhoon season. We observed a good relationship($R^2$ > 0.8) between SS load and DOM load (including RDOM) in both inflowing rivers to JY lake. Therefore, it was determined that SS would be an alternative parameter with a rapid and energy-efficient method for the analysis of both DOC and RDOC, which require the analytical equipment and a long time period. Both AD lake and JY lake may act as a DOM(including RDOM) source through primary production in the fall season. Because AD lake and JY lake may not act as a DOM buffer zone, both lakes couldn't control the DOM and RDOM in spring before the rainy season. Therefore to improve water quality in downstream rivers is needed to remove pollutants such as DOM and RDOM before inflowing to these lakes in upstream rivers, or to have the unique landscape of wetlands as a buffer zone.

In view of previous investigations that the outermost zone of porous media displays the most vigorous removal of organic contaminant, a novel filtration apparatus of cylinder-shaped porous material (polyester fiber) was applied to the Samcheonji reservoir in Gyeongsan to assess its ability to remove contaminants from reservoir water. The apparent mechanism of purification is that organic pollutant dispersed in the water is collected by the matrix to be degraded by microbes in due course. Data obtained from the experiment appear promising; 19$\sim$27% decrease in COD$_{Cr}$, 37$\sim$43% reduction in COD$_{Mn}$, BOD$_5$ diminution between 67$\sim$81%, 93% decrease in turbidity, and 99% removal of Suspended Solids. The results suggest that this device may be a valuable supplementary means to ameliorate the quality of reservoir water.

This study was aimed to propose La(III)-zeolite composite which can effectively and simultaneously remove ammonia and phosphate in confined water bodies such as lakes and ponds. The optimum ratio of La(III):zeolite for the simultaneous removal of ammonia and phosphate was 0.0048 La(III) g:1 zeolite g. The drying temperature of La(III)-zeolite composite severely affected phosphate adsorption showing optimum condition at room temperature. It was revealed that the optimum dosage of La(III)-zeolite composite was 4.052 g/L at adsorption time of 90 min. The presence of alkalinity in aqueous solution brought positive effect on phosphate adsorption. Detachment of La(III) from La(III)-zeolite composite, which was dried at room temperature, was not observed in aquous solution. It indicates that La(III)-zeolite composite could effectively block phosphate released from sediment.

Despite the widespread use of GIS over the past ten years, it has been limited application for regional modeling of pollutant loadings such as sediment, nitrogen, and phosphorus(non-point source pollution), The goals of this study were to: select important processes and parameters of watersheds that contribute to non-point source pollution degradation, develop a ranking model to use the environmental geologic data and verify the model by comparing results with existing water quality data(Chung-ju Lake) for specific watersheds, The GIS database consisted of topography, geology, soils, precipitation, rainfall erosivity, land use, and watershed boundaries. The index(NPSP) for assessing non-point source pollution was comprised in the following three seperate components: soil loss index(SLI) assesses the potential soil erosion and sedim-ent delivery from field to stream; run-off potential ratio(R.P.R) predicts the potential production of surface runoff; chloropgyll-a index ranks the potential manure(animal or human) production within a watershed. The GIS model was a valuable tool to assess the impact of environmental pollation in watersheds.

국내에는 17,500여개의 농업용 저수지가 전국적으로 분포하고 있다. 이들 저수지의 대부분은 1945년 이전에 설치되어 경과년수가 70년 이상된 저수지가 전체의 약 52%에 달하며, 1962년 이전에 설치되어 50년 이상된 저수지는 전체의 68.3%에 이르고 있다. 국내 약 70%에 해당하는 저수지는 50년이 넘은 노후화된 저수지로 오염물질의 장기간의 퇴적으로 인해 수용적이 많이 줄었고, 퇴적층의 오염물질 재용출로 인해 호소의 수질악화에 상당한 영향을 주고 있을 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 호소 설치 경과년수와 수질간의 상관성을 알아보기 위하여 상관분석을 실시하였고, 일원분산분석과 Scheffe Test를 통해 경과년수에 따라 호소 수질에 유의한 차이가 있는 지에 대해서 살펴보았다. 저수지 설치 경과년수와 수질항목 pH, EC, DO, SS, COD, TN, TP, Chl-a와의 상관성을 분석한 결과, DO를 제외한 모든 항목에서 10~40%의 정(+)의 상관성을 보여 저수지 준공년도가 오래된 것일수록 수질오염도가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 농업용 저수지의 준공 경과년수 구간에 따른 수질이 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는가를 알아보기 위하여 호소의 경과년수를 70년 이상($Y{\geq}70$), 50년 이상 70년 미만($50{\leq}Y$<70), 30년 이상 50년 미만($30{\leq}Y$<50), 10년 이상 30년 미만($10{\leq}Y$<30), 10년 미만(Y<10) 등 5개 구간으로 분류하여 일원분산분석을 실시하였다. 통계분석에 사용된 자료는 2013년도 농업용수 수질측정망 조사자료 3,175개를 이용하였다. 수온, pH, EC, COD, TN, TP, SS, Chl-a 등 거의 모든 수질항목에서 유의수준 p<0.001 에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 사후검정인 Scheffe Test를 실시한 결과, DO를 제외한 모든 항목에서 70년 이상 된 구간($Y{\geq}70$)과 50년이상 70년 미만(의 구간에서 다른 구간에 비해 다소 높은 값을 보였고, 준공 경과년수가 작아질수록 농도가 점차적으로 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 저수지가 설치된 지 오래되어 노후화가 진행될수록 수질오염도 높아지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The utilization of TOC(Total organic carbon), a new environmental standard, was evaluated for 30 lakes in the Nakdong River Basin, which is used for drinking and agricultural usage. The active use of water resources begins with securing satisfactory water quality. Since this allows people and nature to maintain stability of quality, water quality standards are being tightened to ensure good water quality. In order to improve the pollution level of organic matter in lakes in the living environment, it is important to use the appropriate organic substance index. The relationship between the newly introduced TOC and the existing COD(Chemical oxygen demand) in the targeted lake was positively correlated with the possibility of replacing the TOC with COD. However, the environmental grade standard using TOC is better than the environmental grade standard using COD, so it has the same effect as that of the grade of water quality using TOC as an organic substance factor. This indicates the limitation of TOC to directly replace existing COD when trying to determine or improve the quality level using organic indicators of lakes. Therefore, in order to secure the qualitative safety of the lake, it is required to strengthen environmental standards of TOC in terms of water quality grade. In addition, the correlation between TOC and COD shows a great difference depending on the utilization characteristics of the lake. This requires clear scientific identification, and it requires continuous monitoring of COD that has been used to accumulate indicators of lake organic matter.

The study was carried out to analysis of the pollutant $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, T-P for water quality proximated to sediment in lake of K river basin. water extracted from sediment showed higher $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, T-P datas than water proximated to sediment. Also, water proximated to sediment and water 5-10cm proximated to sediment showed the following data : $COD_{Mn}$, 1.2~1.9mg/L, T-N, 1.3~6.2mg/L, TP, 0.05~0.26mg/L, respectively. From this results, we have known the fact that the pollution degree of sediment have an effect on the water quality in lake and stream.

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) have become an increasing concern in terms of human health risks as well as aesthetic impairment due to their toxicity. The reduction of water pollutants, especially nutrients from non-point sources in a reservoir watershed, is fundamental for HABs prevention. We investigated the pollutant removal efficiencies of a constructed wetland to evaluate its feasibility as a method for controlling non-point sources located in the Annaecheon stream within the Daecheong Reservoir watershed. The overall removal efficiencies of pollutants were as follows: BOD 14.3%, COD 17.9%, SS 50.0%, T-N 19.0%, and T-P 35.4%. These results indicate that constructed wetlands are effective in controlling pollutants from non-point sources. The seasonal variation in removal efficiency depended on the specific pollutants. The removal efficiencies of BOD, COD, and T-N were stable throughout the year, except during winter, which might have been influenced by lower microorganism activity. In contrast, T-P showed a consistent removal efficiency even during the winter season, suggesting that the wetland can reduce external phosphorus loading to the reservoir. Regarding the effects of pollutant loadings on removal efficiency, the effluent concentrations of all pollutants were significantly decreased compared to those in the influent in case of middle and high loadings. This demonstrates that constructed wetlands can handle high pollutant loads, including the initial runoff during rainfall, to prevent reservoir eutrophication. Despite the various strengths of wetland water purification, there are limitations as passive treatment. Therefore, more case studies should be conducted to suggest optimum operational conditions for constructed wetlands, taking into consideration reservoir-specific characteristics.

For the lake case, the detention phenomenon of water body occurs and stays for a long time. Especially, following the layer of water depth direction, the lake body and water quality problems are different from the water quality of river. So according to time, the stream and water quality can be simulated by the 3-Dimensional Model, which can divide water layer for reservoir or lake. The water quality simulation result will become more reliability. For this study, the 3-Dimension Model - EFDC was used to simulate water quality of Unam reservoir in the Sumjin Dam. The HEC-GeoHMS and HEC-HMS Rainfall - Runoff Model based on GIS were used to estimate long-term runoff, and input data was constructed to the observed water level, meteorological data, water temperature, T-N and T-P. In order to apply the EFDC model, water depth was divided into 3 layers and 5,634 grids were extracted. After constructing the grid net, the water quality change of Unam reservoir in time and space was simulated. Overall, long term runoff simulation reflected the actual observed runoff well, through the water quality simulation, according to the pollution factors, the behavior characteristics can be checked, and the simulated water quality can be properly reflected. The function of EFDC has been confirmed, which water quality can be properly simulated. In the near future, to establish countermeasures for Intake Facilities of Watershed and Management, this support which some basic tools can be applied is in expectation.
