Fiber Dyeing and Finishing facility has been recognized as an important pollution source due to its consumption of large volumes of water and chemicals. Unit mass discharge for the conventional water quality parameters such as flowrate, SS, $BOD_5,\;COD_{Mn},\;COD_{Cr}$, TN, TP were estimated. To represent the respective industries, three companies were carefully selected based on its manufacturing goods, flowrate and location at various unit operations and processes. More than 90% of decrease in unit mass estimation between influent and effluent of BOD was observed. But the values themselves were similar to those of Fiber Manufacturing facility due to the high loadings of organic matter. Biodegradability of influent was almost three times higher than that of effluent. Unit mass discharge estimations of unit process (estimated in this study) based on space, products and raw material were similar to those of composite process (estimated by National Institute of Environmental Research), while big difference was observed in the other factors. Unit mass discharge factors calculated in this study can be used as the reference for the estimation of water pollution loading costs in Nakdong river basin. For the effective water pollution control and management, it is essential to characterize the various types of water quality parameters from the effluents of individual industrial wastewater treatment plants.

This paper investigated the membrane fouling potential at the state of passive adsorption which is no permeation with the test modules on COD (Chemical oxygen demand) loading rates, examined the recovery rate and resistance on membrane fouling by three cleaning manners of hydrophobic membrane in a bioreactor. The results showed that high COD loading led to the increase of extra-cellular polymeric substances and filtration resistance. The permeability resistance from 1st day to 63rd day was getting increased, however, the value of permeability resistance after 63th day during the operation period was almost same level at three COD loading rates, it was due that the biomass adhesion on membrane surface at the state of passive adsorption reached to the critical state. Also, the final recovery rates after three cleaning manners were 78%, 72% and 69% at the COD loading concentrations of 250 mg/L, 500 mg/L and 750 mg/L respectively, and then recovery rate by physical cleaning at Run 2 and Run 3 was decreased after 40th day, it proved that biomass cake, which is not easily removed, was formed on the membrane surface because of high COD loading rate and EPS concentration.

Since high concentrations of N, P, and organic C cause the excessive eutrophication in water systems, the control of nutrient export from agricultural nonpoint sources has become important. This study was conducted to estimate discharges of N, P, and organic C from a small agricultural watershed of the upper Imgo stream in Youngchun, Kyongbuk. Of the total area(1.420ha), 25% was agricultural land including paddy, upland and orchards and most of the remainder was forest. The resident population in the watershed was 194 in 80 households and relatively small numbers of livestocks including cow were raised. Mean concentrations of nutrients in the stream water were 4.95, 0.80, 6.72, 0.07 and 2.52mg/L for $NO_3-N$, $NH_4-N$, Total N, Total P and COD respectively. Annual discharges in 1997 were 28,991kg of $NO_3-N$. 3,010kg of $NH_4-N$, 37,006kg of Total N. 590kg of Total P, and 29,138kg of COD. There was a strong positive relationship between stream flow and precipitation, and also most of the nutrient discharges occurred in the rainy season (May to August). Since there was no any other industries in the watershed, agricultural practices and sewage from the resident households, forest runoff and livestock wastes were the major sources of NPS discharges. A combination of management options, including management of soil erosion and fertilizer application, could lead to reductions in nutrient exports.

In this paper, an analysis of the inflowing pollution load of the rivers in Hampyeong bay showed the average organic matter pollution loads of BOD, COD, and TOC to be 79.7 kg-BOD/day, 144.06 kg-COD/day, and 93.0 kg-TOC/day, respectively. The inflowing organic matter pollution load was the heaviest in Sonbul dike, followed by Jupo bridge and Yangman complex. With regard to season, the load characteristics were outstanding in July, the rainy period in the summer. The average inflowing pollution loads of nutrients were 20.9 kg-DIN/day, 17.1 kg-DIP/day, 148 kg-TN/day, and 37.4 kg-TP/day A comparison of the inflowing nutrients loads for each river showed the load to be the heaviest in Yangman complex, followed by Baegok bridge and Jupo bridge. In the experiment on the material budgets of Hampyeong bridge conducted using a box model, the detention time of fresh water was found to be 52.4 days, with the bay displaying the characteristics of a so dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) in the nutrients material budgets, ${\Delta}DIN$ values were found to be negative, indicating the tendency of consumption and open sea leak by photosynthesis to be higher than the nitrogen that flowed in. As for dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), ${\Delta}DIP$ showed positive values, indicating a tendency for accumulation as the supply through organic matter decomposition, elution load of sediments, and inflowing load of the river turned out to be higher than the consumption by phytoplankton and outflow to open sea.

This study presents a constituent load estimating procedure that can be operated with the present Korean TMDL monitoring system. The modified TANK model is used as a daily river flow simulation model whose parameters are estimated from 8-day intervals flow data. Constituent loads are estimated with the 7-parameter log linear model whose parameters are estimated by the minimum variance unbiased estimator. Results from Nakdong river basin reveals that the proposed procedure provides satisfactory TOC and BOD load estimates. As an application, a representative load duration curve is derived for working out a way to represent the overall hydrologic flux of BOD, COD and TOC at Nakdong river basin. The present water quality can be checked stochastically by Load Duration Curve through this study and presented visually.

The watershed information of the Mankyung River and Dongjin River is obtained and analysed using the GIS tool. The informations i.e., digital map, land use, point sources, weather station, water quality measurement station, and pollutants load unit are managed by DB system. The slope, rainfall, and generated pollutants loads of COD, TN and TP which are the input data of the rainfall-runoff-pollutants load model are estimated. From the analysis of the collected and generated data, the almost watershed area is composed of agricultural lands except the upstream regions. The population and industrial area are densely located in Cheonju City and Iksan City, whereas the farming areas are widely distributed.

비점오염원은 기상조건과 토지이용에 따라 시간에 따른 오염부하량의 변동폭이 크게 발생하며, 강우초기에 오염물질의 농도가 크게 나타난다. MFFn은 강우지속시간에 따라 다양하게 변화하는 오염물질의 부하량과 유출량을 특정시점에서 강우유출율과 오염물질 유출율을 계산할 수 있으며, 강우가 시작될 때 0, 종료될 때 1의 값을 나타내며, 1보다 크면 초기세척이 있음을 나타낸다. 예를 들면 MFF20에서 평균값이 2.5이면 초기우수유출수의 부피 20%에 오염물질 부하량의 부피 50%를 포함하는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 논에서의 초기세척비율 정량화하기 위해 영산강수계 논지역(이하, 학야지구)과 섬진강수계 논지역(이하, 적성지구) 각 1개유역을 선정하여 2009년부터 2012년까지 수문 및 수질 모니터링을 수행하였다. 유역면적은 학야지구는 13.69 ha 이며, 적성지구는 8.06ha 이다. 두 지역 모두 외부유입이 없으며, 배수로가 구조물화 되어 있어 관측이 용이한 지점이다. 논에서 강우시유출되는 오염물질을 산정하기 위해서 배수로 말단에 압력식 수위계와 자동채수기를 설치하여 일정간격으로 관측하였으며, 수위별 유량관측을 통해 수위-유량관계곡선식을 산정 후 유량으로 환산하였다. 채취된 수질은 수질공정시험법을 통해 BOD, COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS를 분석하였으며, 관측된 유량과 수질자료를 이용하여 부하량을 산정하고, MFFn을 이용하여 초기세척비율을 정량화 하였다. BOD COD, TOC, T-N, T-P, SS 의 논 초기세척비율은 n 값이 10% 때 중앙값이 각각 1.3, 1.18, 1.13, 1.2, 1.13, 1.1 였으며, 13%, 11.8%, 11.3%, 12%, 11.3%, 11% 가 유출되는 것으로 나타났으며, n 값이 20%일 때 1.3, 1.1, 1.1, 1.25, 1.2, 1.2 이였으며, 26%, 22%, 22%, 25%, 24%. 24%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다. n 값이 30%일 때 1.25, 1.0, 1.0, 1.25, 1.13, 1.3 였으며, 37.5%, 30%, 30%, 37.5%, 33.9%, 39%가 유출되는 것으로 나타났다.

하천 및 호소수역에 대한 수질오염원이 지속적으로 증가하는 경우에는 일반적인 농도규제 방식으로는 수질개선에 한계가 나타난다. 이를 해결하기 위해 목표 수질 한도 내에서 유역 배출원의 오염물질총량 관리를 목적으로 하는 수질오염총량관리제 개념이 도입되어 단위유역 지자체별 배출부하량을 관리하고 있지만, 지역의 오염원 배출 특성을 고려하지 않은 저감계획은 오히려 유역 내 새로운 오염원으로 전락하여 수질 개선 효과가 나타나지 않을 수 있다. 따라서 효율적인 총량 관리를 위해서는 수계 내 오염원 파악이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 수질오염총량제 대상 하천인 굴포천의 수질 오염원 분석을 위해 2016년, 2017년 굴포천 유역 토지이용 자료를 활용하여 수질항목과의 상관성을 파악하고 2016년부터 2020년까지 최근 5년 동안 총량측정망을 통해 측정된 유량 및 수질 자료를 이용해 상류, 중류, 하류 각각의 유량-부하량 관계식을 도출하여 지점별 수질 오염원 특성을 분석하였다. 상관분석 결과, 강우 시 밭과 BOD, SS, T-P는 양의 상관성을 보였고, T-N은 강우, 비 강우 시 관계없이 밭, 논에서 높은 양의 상관성을 보였다. 유량-부하량 관계식 도출 결과, 상류의 경우 BOD, COD, T-P, TOC, SS는 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 감소하는 특성을 나타내었는데 이는 2019년 4월 이후 오존처리 재이용수 방류에 따른 유량 증가의 영향이라고 사료 된다. 반면 T-N은 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 증가하는 특성을 나타내었는데 이는 오존처리 재이용수의 T-N 농도가 하천의 T-N 농도 보다 높아 발생한 것으로 보인다. 중류와 하류의 경우 BOD, COD, T-P, TOC, SS는 유량이 증가함에 따라 농도가 증가하는 특성을 나타내어 강우 시 비점오염원의 영향이 있는 것으로 보인다. 특히, 하류의 경우 유량이 증가함에 따라 수질 농도가 급격히 증가하여 중류에 비해 비점오염원 영향이 더 큰 것으로 나타났다.

This study analyzes water quality change trends in three major rivers in Daejeon and effect of discharge from Daejeon Wastewater Treatment Plant between 1992 and 2014. As of 2014, COD concentration in the Gab-cheon-A station is in level VI for Korea river water quality standard while BOD and TP are in level III. As expansions of the treatment plant, water quality in the Gab-cheon River has been improving accordingly. However, during the study period, TN concentrations of the headwater and the most downstream locations of the Gab-cheon River have increased about twice and three times, respectively. It was estimated that the treatment plant is responsible for 35%. 46%, 76% and 63% of BOD, COD, TN and TP loadings of the Gab-cheon River, respectively. It was also estimated that small tributaries and nonpoint sources are responsible for 54% and 47% of BOD and COD loadings of the Gab-cheon River. Therefore, it is recommended to further reduce nutrient loadings from the treatment plant and also reduce surface runoff organic loading from nonpoint sources including small tributaries and storm sewers.

The field surveys and the seawater analyses were conducted over the southern waters of Cheju island every month from July 1997 to June 1988. The distributions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen(DIN), dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP), chemical oxygen demand(COD) and dissolved oxygen(DO) in the southern water area of Cheju island were simulated and reproduced by an ecosystem model. In order to estimate the environmental capacity of the southern coastal area of Cheju island, the simulations for predicting the situation of unfavorable environment in which marine water quality might not be satisfied with Korean standards were performed with an ecosystem model by controlling quantitatively the pollution loads of discharge sources including streams flowing into the sea. The more the loads of 4 major pollution sources flowing into model region increase, the more evident appear the increases of COD, DIN and DIP concentrations around the water areas adjacent to pollution sources. In case the pollution loads of all 4 discharge sources including streams become 3 times as high as the present loads, the concentration of DIN at near-shore waters appears to be increased to about 14.5mmol/m³(=0.20mg/ℓ) which is the third class criterion of Korean standards for marine water quality. In case of 10 times as high as the present loads, COD at near-shore waters appears to be increased to about 1.0mg/ℓ which is the first class criterion of Korean standards. In case of 20 times as high as the present loads, DIP at near-shore waters appears to be increased to about 0.50mmol/m³(=0.015mg/ℓ) which is the second class criterion of Korean standards.
