Recently, Andong Reservoir and Imha Reservoir located in Nakdong River basin (Korea) are being connected by a tunnel (length 2km, diameter 5.5m) for a conjunctive use. The objectives of this study were to construct a two dimensional(2D) laterally-averaged model for two reservoirs, and examine the effects of connection on the water transportation and temperature stratification in the reservoirs. The 2D models for each reservoir were calibrated using field data obtained in 2006, and applied to the linked system for the year of 2002 when a severe flood intruded into Imha Reservoir during the typhoon Rusa. Simulation results showed that 364 million $m^3$ of water can be conveyed from Imha to Andong, while 291 million $m^3$ of water from Andong to Imha after connection. It resulted in 1.38 m increase of annual averaged water level in Andong Reservoir, whereas 3.75 m decrease in Imha Reservoir. The structures of thermal stratification in both reservoirs were influenced in line with the flow exchanges. In Andong Reservoir, the location of thermocline moved upward about 10 m compared to an independent operation. The results imply that the persistent turbidity issue of Imha Reservoir might be shifted to Andong Reservoir during a severe flood event after connection.

Like other major river basin systems in the West of the United States the Platte River Basin are faced with the challenges of allocating more water for plant and animal species. A part of the Central Platte River was designated as critical habitat for the whooping crane in 1978. The water allocation system in the Platte River Basin is dominated by the Prior Appropriation Doctrine, which allocates water according to the priorities based on the date of water use. The Platte River Basin segregated into five subregions for purpose of analysis. 24 years of historic records of monthly flow and all the demands were complied. The simulation of river basin modeling includes physical operation of the system including water allocation by water rights and interstate compact agreements, reservoir operations, and diversion with consumptive use and return flow. MODSIM, a generalized river basin network model, was used for estimating the timing and magnitude of impacts on river flows and diversions associated with water transfers from each region. A total of 20 alternatives were considered, covering transfers from each of the five regions of basin with several options. The result shows that the timing and availability of augmented water at the critical habitat is not only a function of use by junior appropriators, but also of river losses, and timing of return flows.

기후변화에 따른 수환경의 변화로 도시홍수로 인한 인명 및 재산피해가 증가하여 도시홍수에 대한 중요성이 급격히 부각되는 상황이지만 국내에서는 도시 내배수 시스템의 선진화기술 구축 및 그와 관련된 연구는 미흡한 실정일 뿐만 아니라 효과적인 침수 저감도 어려운 실정이다. 도시지역에서의 내수침수를 효과적으로 방어할 수 있는 구조적, 비구조적 홍수방어 대책의 수립이 시급한 실정이다. 현재 기존의 도시침수 저감 대책들은 유하시설의 용량 증설 및 통수능 확보를 초점으로 하는 구조적인 대책에 머물러 있으며, 유하시설 위주의 대책은 하류에서의 더 큰 홍수를 발생시킬 위험이 있다. 기존 내배수시설의 전체적인 확장은 막대한 예산과 시간을 필요로 할 뿐만 아니라 지구온난화로 인한 이상기후 및 국지성 집중호우에 완벽하게 대응하기 곤란하므로 구조적인 대책과 더불어 집중호우에 대비할 수 있도록 각 시설물의 기능 및 경제성을 최대로 하며 방재성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 비구조적인 대책이 동시에 수립되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 비구조적인 대책 중 하나로 빗물펌프장 및 빗물저류조의 연계운영에 초점을 맞추었다. 모니터링 지점을 선정하여 빗물저류조의 추가저류공간을 확보하는 운영을 실시하고 빗물 펌프장 유수지의 수위를 낮추어 내수침수를 저감시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 기존의 운영과 본 연구에서 제안한 연계운영을 비교하고 효과를 분석하였다.

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related death throughout the world. Non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) is the most deadly form of lung cancer. Patients with non-small cell lung cancer are often found to be unavailable for operation at primary diagnosis. They are typically given conventional chemotherapy. When the tumor progresses during chemotherapy, a change in regimen is considered. The average period of administration differs with the regimen. In this case report, the authors introduce two cases of non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with allergen removed Rhus verniciflua stokes based herbal medicine along with pemetrexed($Alimta^{(R)}$) and erlotinib($Tarceva^{(R)}$). The authors report this case because these molecular-targeted agents were used for longer periods than expected, while improving the performance and other symptoms. Further studies illuminating the synergistic effects through conjunctive treatment with both conventional and Eastern medicine in lung cancer treatment should be performed in the future.
