This research aims to classify wetland types and evaluate functions of a dam lake. The case study area is Boryung lake in Boryung City. In this study was carried out based upon field surveys, drawing maps and publication, and modified-RAM which can evaluate the general functions and conservation values of wetlands. Eight functions of 2-12 variables each are analyzed for assessing the wetland functions. The analysis shows that several types of wetlands were identified, such as Palustrine/ Perennial/ Hydrophytes, Palustrine/ Perennial/ Openwater, Palustrine/ Seasonal/ Herbal, Palustrine/ Seasonal/ Shrub and Scrub, Palustrine/ Seasonal/ Hydrophye, and Riparian/ Seasonal/ Shrub in the Boryung lake. The average level of functions of the wetlands is very "HIGH", and it is recommended that prompt conservation measures should be taken.

In this study, the fractional composition and the releasing of nutrients and metals from sediments of Boryung reservoir were investigated. Based on present study, the forms of sediment phosphorus of the four sites in reservoir were classified as adsorbed phosphorus, non apatite inorganic phosphorus(NAI-P), apatite phosphorus and residual phosphorus. Residual phosphorus showed the highest fration, NAI-P second, apatite phosphorus third and absorbed phosphorus fourth. The sedimentation rate of T-P and T-N in aerobic condition were $0.31mg/m^2{\cdot}day$ and $29mg/m^2{\cdot}day$. The sedimentation rate of T-P and T-N in anaerobic condition were $0.12mg/m^2{\cdot}day$ and $13.6mg/m^2{\cdot}day$. The releasing rate of T-P and T-N in anaerobic condition were $0.23mg/m^2{\cdot}day$ and $10.5mg/m^2{\cdot}day$.
