Structure and succession of zooplankton community studied by hydraulic and ecological characteristics targeting the five lakes in the Han river system from March to December 2008. Results separated by river-type lake and lake-type lake depending on the type of hydraulic, Paldang lake and Cheongpyeong lake were river-type lake, while Chungju lake, Hoengseong lake and Doam lake was lake-type lake. The Paldang lake was a eutrophic lake, zooplankton community density and species number were the most among the five lakes. Relative dominance of the rotifera was the largest and the yearly first dominant species was a small cladocera Bosmina longirostris. The Cheongpyeong lake was a mesotrophic-eutrophic lake, hydraulic characteristics and zooplankton community changes were similar the Paldang lake. Relative dominance of the cladocera was the largest and the yearly first dominant species was a small cladocera Bosmina longirostris. The Chungju lake was a oligotrophic-mesotrophic lake, zooplankton community density was the least among the five lakes. Relative dominance of the copepoda was the largest and the yearly first dominant species was a large cladocera Daphnia galeata. The Hoengseong lake was a oligotrophic-mesotrophic lake, relative dominance of the rotifera was the largest and the yearly first dominant species was a small cladocera Bosmina longirostris. The Doam lake was a mesotrophic-eutrophic lake, zooplankton community density showed dramatic difference at the investigation time. Relative dominance of the rotifera was the largest and the yearly first dominant species was the copepoda Nauplius.

This study was conducted to test the effect of residual Al on plankton community after dissolved air flotation (DAF) application. Growth rate of phytoplankton after DAF application ($0.37day^{-1}$) was about 2 times lower than that before DAF application ($0.70day^{-1}$). Under the condition of addition of nitrogen and phosphorus without light, growth rate phytoplankton in treatment without residual Al increased in difference with showing the negative growth rate in treatment with residual Al. Under the condition of light without addition of nutrient, growth rate of phytoplankton was no noticeable difference between the before and after DAF application. The relatively high settling rate (0.47 m/day) was observed in treatment after DAF application. Although the abundance of rotifer decreased, the abundance of copepod and cladoceran such as Daphnia galeata, Diaphanosoma sp. and Bosmina longirostris with relative higher grazing was no noticeable difference between the before and after DAF application. In the treatments before and after DAF application with zooplankton, growth rate of phytoplankton was $0.41{\pm}0.08day^{-1}$, $0.20{\pm}0.03day^{-1}$, respectively. This difference was in treatment after DAF application similar with those in treatments before and after DAF application without zooplankton. Those indicate that the filter-feeding effect of zooplankton on phytoplankton community may be not changed by residual Al after the DAF application. These results suggest that residual Al after DAF application be to improve water quality by inhibition of growth rate as well as increasing settling rate of phytoplankton.
