The artificial aeration in the middle and the small scale reservoirs is widely used to destroy the stratified layer and algal boom. This study has been conducted at the Youncho reservoir located in Keoje island since Jan. 2000 to suggest the most suitable control strategy of the artificial aeration and reduce the side effect. The main results obtained from this research are as follows. The starting time of aeration for destratification was adjusted from the end of March to the beginning of April when the natural stratification is started. In order to prevent an anoxic condition the artificial mixing should be started by the middle of April when the DO in hypolimnion is dropped to less than $5mg/{\ell}$. The decrease DO, caused by the increase in water temperature, spreads rapidly from hypolimnion to themocline. Thermal stratification disappeared after the onset of artificial aeration within 7 days in the Yuncho reservoir. The air diffusers decrease water temperature in the layer of epilimnion and thermocline, but rise it in hypolimnion. The continuous operation of air diffuser prevent the stratification and anoxic condition in hypolimnion despite of the rising of water temperature and algal abundance. The algal abundance is not observed in effective zone by aeration. The turbidity rising problem induced from the aeration is avoided by keeping an air diffuser about 1.5m high from the bottom of lake. During the summer season, ceasing the aeration should be decided carefully. And also, it is necessary to operate the system it considering weather and temperature, and depending on the number and the position of aerators.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of artificial filaments equipped in the aeration tank of aerobic·fermentation system on the removal efficiency of swine wastes which were fermented an aerobically and thus containing high nitrogen. Two aerobic fermentation system each consist4s of 4 tanks ; storage tank, 1st and 2nd aeration tank and settling tank were run before and one or three weeks after equipment of artificial filament in the aeration tanks. Total solids concentration tended to increase by aerobic fermentation in all running periods. However, decreased(P<0.05) total nitrogen concentration was shown three weeks after the equipment of artificial filament. Ammonia nitrogen concentration also largely decreased(p<0.05) in both running periods of one and three weeks after equipment of artificial filaments. These results suggest that the artificial filaments may improve the removal efficiency of nitrogen in swine wastewater containing high nitrogen during aerobic fermentation.

Effect of artificial circulation on amelioration of water quality in Yeoncho Lake was analyzed using summer data between 1991-2002. Two sites, intake tower area where aeration systems are concentrated in and near the inlet of reservoir were selected for comparison in this study. Summer averages between may and september Showed that aeration system might be beneficial in the improvement of water quality of BOD5, COD, and TN while Chl-a concentration and transparency did show opposite pattems. Wilcoxon's singed rank test for matched pair indicated slight increase of BOD5 and COD concentrations in the vicinity of intake tower while other variables did not show any significant differences from data of inlet of reservoir. During the study, it was found that the following subjects need to be investigated for more detailed analysis. 1) Dynamic pollutant loading from outside and inside the lake, 2) Biological, Chemical and Physical lake data when aeration systems are in and not in operation and 3) Radius of influence of aeration system.

Intermittent deep draw artificial circulation system is one of the most widely used destratification systems to control algal bloom in reservoirs in Korea. However, there have been neither theoretical background of design criteria nor operation guide line for efficient application of the system available for such systems. A design method was developed to calculate required compressor capacity and number of circulation units considering physical interactions between stratified water layers and plumes induced by the intermittent deep draw artificial circulation system. The program was tested with data observed in Yeoncho Lake. The results indicated that the developed method can applied in the fields successfully. Further validation processes would improve design and operation methods.

To control algal bloom in reservoirs in Korea, artificial circulation systems have been applied. Diffuser block aeration systems have been increasingly used in Korean reservoirs especially for shallow ones. However, there has been no sound theoretical background for the design and operation of the system. Also there has not been sufficient post-installation studies to validate the effectiveness of the system. As a result, it has been repeatedly reported that the success of the system is not certain. Proper consideration on thermal stratification regimes of reservoirs and flow dynamics induced by bubble plumes are essential elements in design processes of the aeration system. This paper discusses the current methods in the design of diffuser type aeration system and suggests a new design method based on fluid mechanical theory. Example calculations were discussed using observed data of the Yeoncho Dam and it seems that the results represent the current situation successfully.

Use of artificial circulation system has become popular in Korean reservoirs to control algal blooms and subsequent color, taste and odor problems in drinking water. It was found that the most of aeration system in Korean reservoirs are under-designed compared to existing installations in US and Australia. This was especially true for larger reservoirs greater than $5{\times}10^7m^3$ in volume since it is common to install the system in the vicinity of intake areas only. Consequently, successful cases of artificial circulation systems operations are limited to few small reservoirs less than $1{\times}10^7m^3$. It is suggested that the design methods need to be developed considering physical characteristics and water quality kinetics inside of reservoirs. Also operation methods of artificial circulation systems need to be established considering the water quality dynamics, stratification and morphological characteristics of reservoirs. Finally, it is suggested to maintain comprehensive and long term monitoring programs to validate the application of artificial circulation system in reservoirs.

Currently, the waterfront facility was constructed in New Songdo City, South Korea. It has the various water leisure areas and especially an artificial urban canal with filtered seawater by re-circulating flow system. However, due to excessive amount of nutrients from seawater combined with complicated geometry, it is highly vulnerable to deterioration of water quality. In this study, flow characteristics and pollutant transport were analyzed with comprehensive numerical models, MIKE 3 FM and ECO-lab. Based on these numerical results, notable sampling points were selected for field measurements and comparison between modeling and measured results were conducted. In addition, the integrated water quality evaluation index, Water Quality Index was applied to analyze various water quality issues. We also set up scenarios to control the two kinds of water quality factors, dissolved oxygen (DO), and total phosphorus (TP). As a result, the effect of 20% reduction of TP was less than 10% and it was almost ineffective for a year but it was reduced by up to 40% in case of scenario which DO is increased by 20%. Therefore, it was recommended to control the DO concentration, usually by applying re-aeration facility, rather than TP in artificial urban canal with seawater.

This research was carried out investigate the removed T-P, T-N and anion surfactants using Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete(ALC) in wastewater treatment system. Effects of pH, TDS on aqueous solution was measured. Specific area which measured by BET was $27.66m^2/g$. The phosphorous, nitrogen and anion surfactants removal efficiencies were examined by using artificial waste water(T-P : 66~73mg/L, T-N : 56~136mg/L and anion surfactants : 10~31mg/L). The results showed that the ALC was effective material as a adsorbent due to the structure and porosity. It was found that anion surfactants removed was 85~95%, phosphate removed was 92% and nitrogen removed was 90% in artificial wastewater. Agitation process was more effective than aeration process in that case of nitrogen removal system using ALC.
