Recently, Low Impact Development (LID) is being used in Korea to control urban runoff and nonpoint source pollution. In this study, we evaluated the reduction of surface runoff from a study area, as the effect of connecting three bioretention as LID-BMP. Surface runoff and storage volume of bioretention is estimated by the Curve Number (CN) method. In this study, the storage volume of bioretention is divided by the volume of surface runoff and precipitation which directly enters the bioretention. The ratio of captured surface runoff volume to storage volume is highly influenced by the ratio of drainage area to surface area of bioretention. The high bioretention surface area-to-drainage area ratio captures more surface runoff. The ratio of 1.2 captures 51~54% of the total surface runoff, ranging from 5-30cm of bioretention depth; a ratio of 6.2 captures 81~85%. Three connected bioretentions could therefore captures much more runoff volume, ranging from $35.8{\sim}167.3m^3$, as compared to three disconnected bioretentions at their maximum amount of precipitation with non-effluent from the connecting three bioretentions. Hence, connecting LID-BMPs could improve the removal efficiencies of surface runoff volume and nonpoint source pollution.

Recently the water quality management policy gives priority to management the point source. Non-point pollution source is difficult to comprehend because those don't have certain outflow point and emission. There are many development and research about BMPs for manage the Non-point pollution source. Various methods of removal efficiency are presented for assessment of Best Management Practices (BMPs). In this study, retention time have effect on removal efficiency based on monitoring results of Grassed Swale is studied. Also, Compare a difference according to various methods of Grassed Swale removal efficiency. The result of removal efficiency analysis depending on retention time of Grassed Swale, removal efficiency is higher as retention time increases. To obtain a stable removal efficiency of Grassed Swale, retention time of Grassed Swale should be secure.

Sediment-laden water is problematic in aquatic ecosystem and for hydraulic structures in a watershed, and agriculture area in a watershed is one of source areas of nonpoint source (NPS), since soil surface typically exposures due to agricultural activities. Especially, severe sediment might flow into stream when agricultural area is located near stream like the Imha-dam watershed. Soil erosion is affected by precipitation, therefore there is a need to consider precipitation characteristics in soil erosion and best management practices (BMPs) simulation. The Web-based Spreadsheet Tool for the Estimation of Pollutant Load (STEPL WEB) allows estimating long-term sediment loads and the impact of best management practices to reduce sediment loads. STEPL WEB and predicted precipitation data by MIROC-ESM model was used to estimate sediment loads and its reduction by filter strip and conversion of agricultural area to forest in the future 30 years. The result indicates that approximately 70 % of agricultural area requires filter strip installation or that approximately 50 % of agricultural area needs to be converted to forest, for 41 % of sediment load reduction.

Low impact development (LID) technique is recently proposed as new concept to reduce surface runoff and pollutant loading with various best management practices (BMPs). In this study, LIDMOD2, which is one of the model to evaluate LID, was applied at Mohyeon developing area to evaluate the redcution of annual runoff and pollution loading, cost-reduction efficient by LID with design of structural BMPs including bioretention, wet pond, and wetland. As a simulation results, the bioretention had the highest reduction efficiency for runoff (41.43%), and 22% for T-N and 22% for BOD. Wet pont had the highest reduction efficiency for T-P as showing 25% of reduction rate. As a results of cost-reduction efficient, wet pont represented the highest cost-effective for T-N and BOD with showing 0.43 T-P kg/million won and 17.37 BOD kg/million won, respectively, and bioretention represented the highest cost-effective for T-P with showing 2.52 T-P kg/million won. LID technology could reduce effectively surface runoff and nonpoint source pollution and construct sustainable development. LIDMOD2 could be suggested as useful tool to evaluate and design LID.

Agricultural land reclamation in Saemangeum tidal land project is mostly planned to be completed by 2020. Irrigation water for the land is required to be prepared by that time. However, water quality for the irrigation sources is barely meet the target concentration. This paper described the reduction effect of and policy consideration for best management practices (BMPs) which were fertilizer prescription by soil test (SO#1), mixed application of SO#1 and 3 (SO#2), drainage gate control (SO#3), time-release fertilizer application (SO#4), and control (CT). Reduction of paddy runoff was relatively higher in SO#3 (25%) and SO#1 (27%) while lower in SO#4 (9%) and SO#2 (7%) than that in CT. In addition, farmers promised to follow the BMP guidelines but they didn't because of the several problems caused for the BMPs implementation. Thus, it recommended developing an automated control of irrigation gate and paddy water depth and supporing farmers for NPS pollution control and irrigation water reduction.

기후변화에 따른 물 순환과정의 변화는 유역내 강우패턴 및 강우강도, 유출 특성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 유역내 강우패턴 및 강우강도 등 물 순환과정의 변화는 강우에 의한 유출과 밀접한 관련이 있는 비점오염원에 중대한 영향을 미친다. 특히, 고랭지밭에 밀집되어 있어 강우에 따른 토사로 인한 탁수가 빈번하게 문제가 되고 있는 소양호 유역은 비점오염원관리지역으로 지정되어 탁수를 저감하기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 노력들 중 환경부에서는 개별 경작지마다 BMPs(Best Management Practices)를 적용하여 강우에 의한 탁수를 저감하고자 하였으며, 앞으로도 지속적으로 설치할 계획에 있다. 그러나 이러한 비점오염저감시설을 적용하였을 때의 저감효율은 밭의 면적이나 경사도, 경사장 등 다양한 조건을 고려해야 하는 어려움이 있어, 이에 대한 연구는 매우 제한적으로 이루어져 왔다. 이에 따라, 각 경작지에 적용된 개별 비점오염저감시설이 유역 말단에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구 역시 미비한 실정이다. 그러나 비점오염저감대책 및 계획은 유역 말단을 기준으로 하는 경우가 많고, 유량 및 수질에 대한 모니터링 자료 역시 유역 말단에 위치하기 때문에 개별 비점오염저감시설이 유역 말단에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유역단위 평가모델 중 하나인 SWAT을 이용하여 각 경작지 별로 실측 경사장 및 경사도, 개별 비점오염저감시설을 적용하였으며, 개별 비점오염저감시설이 유역말단에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다.

A vegetative filter strip (VFS) is one of the best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutant loads. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of VFS in dense upland field areas. The study areas are agricultural fields in the Maedae (MD), Gaa (GA), and Jaun (JU) watersheds, where severe sediment yields have occurred and the Korean government has designated them as non-point management regions. The agricultural fields were divided into three or four clusters for each watershed based on their slope, slope length, and area (e.g., MD1, MD2). To assess the sediment trapping (STE) and pesticide reduction efficiency (PRE) of VFS, the Vegetative Filter Strip Modeling System (VFSMOD) was applied with three different scenarios (SC) (SC1: VFS with rye vegetation; SC2: VFS with rye vegetation and a gentle slope in VFS range; and SC3: VFS with grass mixture). For SC1, there were relatively short slope lengths and small areas in the MD1 and GA3 clusters, and they showed higher pollutant reduction (STE>50%, PRE>25%). For SC2 and SC3, all clusters in GA and some clusters (MD1 and MD3) in MD show higher pollutant reduction (>25%), while the uplands in JU still show a lower pollutant (<25%). With correlation analysis between geographic characteristics and VFS effectiveness slope and slope length showed relative higher correlations with the pollutant efficiency than a area. The results of this study implied that slope and slope length should be considered to find suitable upland conditions for VFS installations.

This study is to assess the reduction of nonpoint source pollution by applying Best Management Practice (BMP) in Chungju-dam watershed (6,585.1 $km^2$) using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The model was calibrated using 3 years (1998-2000) daily streamflow at 3 locations and monthly water quality of sediment (SS), total nitrogen (T-N) and total phosphorus (T-P) data at 2 locations and validated for another 3 years (2001-2003) data. The 5 BMPs of streambank stabilization, porous gully plugs, recharge structures, terrace, and contour farming were applied to stream and area with the specific criteria of previous researches. Through the parameter sensitivity analysis, the farming practice P-factor and Manning's roughness of stream were sensitive. Overall, the NPS reduction effect was high for streambank stabilization, terrace, and contour farming. At the watershed outlet, the SS, T-P, and T-N were reduced by 64.4 %, 62.8 % and 17.6 % respectively.

많은 건설사업장의 경우 토사 유출에 따른 고농도 탁수가 발생하며, 그 탁도를 낮추기 위해 침전지 혹은 토사탈수백 등의 Best Management Practices(BMPs)를 이용한다. 본 연구에서는 유입되는 탁수에 고분자응집제인 polyacrylamide(PAM)를 액상으로 주입하고, 침전지와 토사탈수백을 통해 탁도를 저감하는 field-scale 실험을 수행하였다. 일반적으로 침전지 중간에는 유입되는 물의 힘을 분산시키기 위해 배플이라는 구조물이 설치되는데, 본 연구결과에 따르면 PAM을 통한 화학적 처리 없이 배플 자체로는 탁도를 낮추는 데 그 효과가 낮았으나, PAM주입을 할 경우 배플 설치 여부에 상관없이 90-98%까지 방류수 탁도를 낮출 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 침사지 이후에 설치한 토사탈수 백은 그 효과가 낮았으나, 침사지 없이 토사탈수백만 사용할 경우 PAM을 이용한 화학적 처리 없이는 만족할 만한 방류수 탁도를 기대하기 어려웠다. 본 연구결과는 향후 미국에서 면적 10에이커 이상의 공사현장에 적용되는 탁도 규제에 대한 대응 방안으로 PAM을 이용한 탁수 처리의 효용성을 보여준다.

The nonpoint pollutants are originated from various land uses. Of the landuses, the development means the changes of the soil cover and the increases of imperviousness rate, which will increase the nonpoint pollutant emissions during a storm. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment in Korea has programed TPLMS(Total Pollution Load Management System) for four major large rivers to improve the water quality in rivers by controling the total pollutant loadings from the watershed area. The study area was forest landuse before resort development, however it is now changing to the resort. Some of the forest areas will be changed to parking lots, roads and buildings, which can be the major pollutant sources in the future. The paved areas are highly polluted landuses because of high pollutant accumulation rate by vehicle activities during dry periods. Therefore, this research is achieved to determine the changes of pollutant loading rate by development plan and to provide the best management practices for controlling nonpoint pollutants. Finally this research will provide the environment-kindly development technology for protecting the water quality.
