BACKGROUND: Most lakes have increased concerns about water pollution due to the inflow of non-point sources caused by human activities. Therefore, the lake water quality survey was conducted in order to propose effective plans for water quality management by analyzing the characteristics of lakes and the change of water quality. METHODS AND RESULTS: In order to investigate the physicochemical water quality in Daedong lake, water quality analysis was undertaken from July 2018 to June 2019. Water temperature was ranged from 7.8 to 34.3℃ and pH varied from 6.9 to 10.2. The concentration of Dissolved oxygen, Suspended solid, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) were 5.6 ~ 17.2 mg/L, 2.4 ~ 35.3 mg/L, and 4.5 ~ 15.1 mg/L, and 0.9 ~ 2.8 mg/L, respectively. The Total Nitrogen (T-N) concentration ranged from 0.974 ~ 2.126 mg/L, and Total Phosphorus (T-P) concentration ranged from 0.014 ~ 0.057 mg/L. The Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) ranged from 2.7 ~ 37.9 mg/㎥. Through Carlson TSIm assessment using T-P and Chl-a results, evaluating trophic state, Daedong lake was evaluated as mesotrophic. CONCLUSION: Water pollution management plan needs such as nutrient removal technology and nonpoint source management for prevention of eutrophication in Daedong lake.

The calcretes from the Cretaceous Gyeongsang Supergroup in the vicinity of Ulsan city have been examined at five sites (Daedong, Seodong, Ansachon, Deogha, and Mangyangri). In these calcretes, evidences indicating pedogenic origin are recognized. Included are calcite aureoles around detrital grains, pedotubular pores, microstromatactis, circumgranular cracks, fitted structure of adjacent peloids, calcrete ooids, rhizocretions, and calcrete intraclasts. On the basis of calcrete development together with lithofacies, the depositional environments of those deposits are interpreted as lake margin (Daedong deposits), braided to low-sinuosity river (Seodong deposits), braid plain (Ansachon deposits), and meandering river (Deogha and Mangyangri). Stratigraphically, the fluvial deposits of study area show paleoenvironmental change from braided to low-sinuosity river plain under arid climatic condition to meandering river plain under seasonally wet an dry climatic condition. The stratigraphic successions of the Gyeongsang Supergroup of the study area Qacustrine-fluvial-Iacustrine) together with paleoenvironmental change of fluvial deposits suggest that those deposits can be correlated with the Banyaweol-Songnaedong-Geoncheonri formations of the Gyeongsang Supergroup in the western part of the Yangsan Fault.

Compound calcrete deposits are recognized from the Dadaepo Formation in Dusong peninsula, Pusan, and their textures, structures, morphology, and stratigraphic distribution are examined. The Dadaepo Formation in study area consists of fluvial plain deposits including floodplain-lake deposits, and the compound calcrete deposits occur above floodplain deposits and below lacustrine deposits. The compound calcrete deposits are composed of nodular to massive (micritic), laminar, nodular, nodular to massive (marly), and marly calcrete deposits. In these calcretes, circumgranular and curved cracks, alveolar structures, fitted peloids, tubular fenestrae with laminar micrite wall (rootlet casts), microstalactic calcite, and tepee structures are observed, which indicates that they are calcic paleosols. Considering their stratigraphic occurrences and pedogenic origin, compound calcrete deposits are interpreted to have formed on distal fluvial plain to palustrine environment by the repetetion of deposition and subsequent calcification due to alternation of lake expansion and contraction. The repetetion of calcrete formation suggests that arid climatic condition was alternated with humid condition in short-term period. Such alternated paleoclimatic condition is similar to those of the Sindong and Hayang groups, and indicates that short-term fluctuations from arid to humid climate were prevailing in overall Gyeongsang Basin. In stratigraphic sense, the compound calcrete deposits can be used as a marker deposit for the correlation of the Dadaepo Formation.
