This paper was performed to estimate interrelations between humus level of sediments and nutrient release from sediments in Dae-cheong reservoir. For investigations, sediments were sampled in June and October, in 1997 at fish farms, embayment, and the main stream of Dae-cheong reservoir. Items for investigation are as follows; water content, weight loss on ignition(IG), porosities of sediments, contents of element such as hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, and nutrient release rates. Water contents and porosities were measured to conjecture the physical trait and grain size trait. Weight loss on ignition was measured to determine the contents of organic substance. For determination of the humus level of sediments, carbon and nitrogen contents were measured by elemental analyzer. As a result of elemental analysis, C/N ratio was determined in the range of $3.0\~13.1$. From the elemental analysis, humus level of Dae-cheong reservoir sediment was estimated from mesohumic state to oligotrophic state. For the determination of nutrient release rate, $PO_4-P$ and $NH_4-N$ concentrations of interstitial water and overlying water were measured. By using the concentration difference between interstitial water and overlying water and using the Fick's diffusion law, the release rates of phosphorus and nitrogen from the sediment samples were calculated. Release rates of nutrients which directly influence to the water quality were $0.05\~8.63mgP/m^2day$ and $4.99\~36.56mgP/m^2day$. It was found that release rate was measured higher in the 1st sampling period than in the 2nd sampling period. For the determination of phosphorus content in sediment, TPs were measured in 807\~1542{\mu}g/g$ in the 1st samling period and $677\~5238{\mu}g/g$ in the End samling period. Phosphorus release rate and phosphorus content were not interrelated each other.

In this study, unit-water content was measured using a frequency domain reflecometry(FDR) sensor that complements the problems of the existing unit-water content measurement method to evaluate the unit-water content affecting the workability, durability, and quality of high strength concrete. The experiment used the unit-water content of high strength concrete as a variable, and the accuracy and probability distribution of the unit-water content measured through deep learning were analyzed for the output value output through the FDR sensor. In the case of the unit-water content predicted by deep learning analysis, a high accuracy and high distribution of more than 93% were found within the error range of ± 10 kg/m³. In the future, research is needed to secure high reliability by utilizing data obtained through experiments with various variables.

Algal dynamics is controlled by multiple environmental factors such as flow dynamics, water temperature, trophic level, and irradiance. Underwater irradiance penetrating from the atmosphere is exponentially decreased in water column due to absorption and scattering by water molecule and suspended particles including phytoplankton. As the exponential decrease in underwater irradiance affects algal photosynthesis, regulating their spatial distribution, it is critical to understand the light extinction characteristics to find out the mechanisms of algal dynamics more systematically. Despite the significance, the recent data have been rarely reported in the main stream areas of large rivers, Korea. In this study, the euphotic depths and light extinction coefficients were determined by monitoring the vertical variation of underwater irradiance and water quality in the main channel of Nakdong River near Dodong Seowon once a week during summer of 2016. The average values of euphotic depth and light extinction coefficient were 4.0 m and $1.3m^{-1}$, respectively. The degree of light extinction increased in turbid water due to flooding, causing an approximate 50 % decrease in euphotic depth. Also, the impact was greater than the self-shading effect during the periods of cyanobacterial bloom. The individual light extinction coefficients for background, total suspended solid and algal levels, frequently used in surface water quality modeling, were determined as $0.305m^{-1}$, $0.090m^{-1}/mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, $0.013m^{-1}/{\mu}g{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. The values estimated in this study were within or close to the ranges reported in literatures.

Granular media filtration is used almost universally as the last particle removal process in conventional water treatment plants. Therefore, superb particle removal efficiency is needed during this process to ensure a high quality of drinking water. However, every particle can not be removed during granular media filtration. Besides the pattern of particle attachment is different depending on physicochemical aspects of particles and suspension. Filtration experiments were performed in a laboratory-scale filter using spherical glass beads with a diameter of 0.55 mm as collectors. A single type of particle suspension (Min-U-Sil 5) and pH control was used to destabilize particles. The operating conditions were similar to those of standard media filtration practice: a filtration velocity of 5 m/h. More favorable particles, i.e., particles with smaller surface charge, were well attached to the collectors especially during the early stage of filtration. This selective attachment of the lower charged particles caused the zeta potential distribution (ZPD) of the effluent to move to a more negative range. On the other hand, the ZPD of the effluent did not keep moving from less negative to more negative during the later stages of filtration, and this result was thought to be caused by two reasons: ripening effects and the detachment of flocs.

영산강 하구역은 하구둑에 의해 하천의 수체가 정체되어 수질문제가 심각한 지역이다. 이를 관리하기 위해 수질변화의 예측은 필수적이며, 주로 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) 모델이 활용된다. EFDC 모델의 모의 결과로는 Binary 형식의 대용량 결과파일이 생성되며, 모의 결과의 공간적인 분포를 확인하기 위해서는 이미지 형태로 변환하는 후처리과정이 필요하다. 이를 위한 대표적인 후처리기로는 EFDC_Explorer가 있다. 그러나 EFDC_Explorer에서 제공되는 이미지 파일은 단순한 캡처 형식의 자료로 다른 주제도와의 중첩 기능이 지원되지 않는다. 이는 다양한 GIS자료와의 연계 분석이나 고차원적인 분석에서 제약이 될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 GIS에서 활용을 고려한 EFDC 모델 모의결과 후처리 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 주요 입력파일 수정 모듈과 Binary 형식의 결과 자료를 ASCII 형식으로 변환하는 모듈, GIS기반의 환경에서 활용이 가능한 레이어 형식으로 재구성하는 모듈을 개발하였으며, 재구성된 모델결과를 효율적으로 가시화할 수 있는 모듈을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템을 통해 생성되는 결과 레이어는 다양한 주제도간의 중첩 분석이나 다양한 GIS기반의 환경에서 연계분석이 가능하여, 최종적으로 수질관리를 지원하는 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

The Philippine government enacted the National Water Crisis Act in 1995, as a response to the burgeoning situation of water supply systems in the country. This act led to the privatization of Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), sector having jurisdiction and control over all waterworks and sewerage systems in a service area including Metro Manila. Nowadays, the region's supply of water is still facing a lot of difficulties, both in quality and quantity. The unabated migration of people to the metro which increases its population, tapping from the aged pipelines, lack of water facilities and infrastructure, excessive groundwater withdrawal, environmental degradation, and surface and groundwater pollution are some of the issues that Metro Manila have to deal with. These situations lead to two primary water supply issues suffered by Metro Manila: water shortage and flooding. The purpose of this paper was to present water supply in Metro Manila with respect to the problems in its distribution, environmental implications and quality. In this paper, several technical reports, published literature, and news articles were consulted and became the major basis for identifying gaps and suggesting remedial measures.

최근 도시와 산업의 발달과 함께 하천, 호소 등 수환경에서의 수질 오염사고가 빈번하게 일어나고 있어 어류폐사, 취수중단, 친수활동 저해 등 심각한 수생태계 및 사회경제적 피해가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 이에 대한 대응책으로 수질모델링을 통한 오염물질의 이동 및 확산에 대한 사전 예측이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 2차원 하천흐름/수질해석 프로그램인 RAMS+의 현장 적용성 및 예측 정확도를 검증하기 위해 만곡하천인 섬강에서 현장실험을 수행하였다. 모의결과 흐름해석모형 HDM-2Di와 수질해석모형 CTM-2D-TX는 현장실험에서 관측된 2차원 흐름 특성과 오염물질의 거동 및 혼합 양상을 정확하게 재현하였다. 특히 하천의 양안과 만곡부에서 국부적으로 발생하는 저유속 흐름에 의해 오염물질의 거동이 지체되는 저장대 효과를 정확하게 모의하였다. 나아가서 하천 만곡부에서 이차류가 야기하는 오염물질 3차원적 혼합 양상을 2차원 분산계수를 통해 효과적으로 재현하였다. 오염물질의 위험농도 체류시간은 취수중단 기간을 결정하는데 있어 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 CTM-2D-TX 모의결과를 기반으로 오염물질 위험농도 체류시간을 계산하였고, 위험농도 체류시간의 공간적 분포가 하폭방향으로 큰 편차를 지니고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 오염물질의 2차원적 체류 특성은 1차원 수질모형을 통해서는 예측이 불가능하기 때문에 효율적이고 정확한 수질사고대응을 위해 2차원 수질모형의 활용이 필요함을 본 연구의 결과는 시사하고 있다.

The objective of this paper is to compare the applicability of assimilable organic carbon (AOC) or biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC) for quantifying biodegradable organic material (BOM) and bio-stability in distribution systems for a variety of finished waters. The study the data is derived from was part of an AWWARF and Tampa Bay Water tailored collaboration project to determine the effect of blending different waters on distribution system water quality. Seven different finished waters were produced from surface, ground, or brackish water on site and fed 18 independent pilot distribution systems (PDSs), either as single finished water or as a blend of several finished waters. AOC and BDOC have often been used as indicators of bacterial regrowth potential in distribution systems. In this study, AOC was the more useful assay of the two for the BOM concentrations observed in the PDSs. BDOC did not distinguish BOM while AOC did at the low BOM levels from many of the advanced treatments (e.g. RO, $O^3/BAC$). AOC in contrast allowed much more meaningful calculations of the consumption or production of AOC as the blends passed through the PDSs even for very low BOM blends. In addition, meaningful trends corresponding to changes in heterophic plate count (HPC) were observed for AOC but not for BDOC. Moreover, AOC stability was associated with waters produced from advanced membrane treatment.

Objective: This study was performed in order to investigate the distribution of antibiotic resistant E. coli and water quality in waterscape facilities. Methods: Nine waterscape facilities were selected and classified into three types: ground, wall and general fountain. The items analyzed in this study were pH, turbidity, $KMnO_4$ consumption, total colony, total coliforms, fecal coliforms and E. coli. Additionally, an antibiotic resistance test on E. coli was performed. Results: There were no sampling sites that exceeded the permitted limits of water quality, but the concentration of pollutants was high at the beginning operation in June. Moreover, concentration of turbidity, $KMnO_4$ consumption and total colony were higher in ground fountains than in wall and general fountains. Five species of antibiotic resistant E. coli were detected from three sampling sites. Conclusions: The waterscape facilities were significantly contaminated with water microorganisms, especially total colony, total coliforms and fecal coliforms. Disinfection and filtration systems to remove pollutants should be installed for safe waterscape facilities.

대규모 상수관망 시스템의 운영비용 절감을 위한 펌프장 운영 최적화 연구가 최근 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 상수관망 시스템 운영 최적화에 대한 연구를 수행하기 위해서는 짧게는 24시간, 길게는 1주일 이상의 시간모의가 필수적이며, 최적화 알고리즘과의 연계를 통한 시뮬레이션이 요구된다. 대규모 상수관망의 경우 관로 및 절점의 수가 수 천 혹은 수 만개에 달해 수리해석 및 최적화에 많은 시간이 소요되며 실시간 운영을 목적으로 하는 경우 모형의 적용에 한계가 발생한다. 이처럼 모의시간에 대한 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 해당 상수관망 시스템의 수리 거동, 수질 해석 결과를 변화시키지 않는 범위에서 관망을 간소화 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 실제로 운영되고 있는 송, 배수 시스템의 일부를 대상으로 시스템 간소화, 즉 골격화(Skeletonization) 연구를 진행하였으며, 모두 네 가지의 골격화 기법을 비교, 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 골격화 기법을 통해 대규모 상수관망의 해석에 소요되는 시간을 단축함으로써, 실제 상수관망의 실시간 운영 모듈 개발에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
