In this study, we successfully developed a highly reliable ultrasonic sediment sensor to detect the sediment levels in sewer pipes in harsh environments. The ultrasonic transducer employed in the ultrasonic sediment sensor was designed so as to possess a simple structure. The developed sensor was carefully optimized by simulating the electromechanical characteristics, radiated sound wave pressures, and directivity via finite element analysis. It was also designed to possess a simple mounting structure minimizing the flow disturbance in a 400-mm sewer pipe; additionally, eight ultrasonic transducers were arranged in a four-channel mode, allowing for measurement of the sediment height in five easy steps. Through experimental evaluations, we verified the performance of the ultrasonic sediment-level sensor and its industrial applicability. The results suggested that although the precision value was notably low at 15 mm, the sediment detection performance was adequate; therefore, the developed sensor can potentially be used in industrial applications.

To assessment the disturbances of the Namgang caused by dam construction, upstream area was selected for the reference reach and downstream area was selected for the comparison reach. And these reaches were surveyed and analyzed according to the assessment criteria of the river disturbances.The artificial factors of river disturbances were classified as river improvement works, dam construction and aggregate dredging. The indexes were physical factors as like epifaunal (bottom), embeddedness, velocity/depth regime, sediment deposition, channel flow status, channel alteration, frequency of riffles, bank stability, vegetative protection, riparian zone etc.The assessment results showed 46% of the assessment criteria which was serious status in dam downstream area and 89.5% of it which was excellent status in dam upstream.Finally, the results showed that physical river environment in downstream area was disturbed by the discharge control and the interception of sediment discharge by dam, consequently this disturbance give rise to impact of ecosystem in river.

The objects of study is to propose criteria for physical river disturbance assessment and as case study to show the application results for river improvement. For this purpose, the river disturbance assessment method for past disturbance process and the present-day potential natural state of stream is proposed. To assess the disturbance of the Youngcheon River caused by river improvement, One ares of Nam River was selected for the reference reach and two areas of Youngcheon River were selected for the comparison reach. And these reaches were surveyed and analyzed according to applying criteria of the river disturbances assessment. The assessment indices were physical factors as like epifaunal (bottom), embededness, velocity/depth regime, sediment deposition, channel flow status, channel alteration, frequency of riffles, bank stability, vegetative protection and riparian zone etc. The results showed that physical river environment in Youngcheon River area was disturbed by artificial revetment and bed excavation, consequently this disturbance give rise to impact of ecosystem in river. Hereafter, the criteria for river disturbance assessment are needed to consider various river characters as bed materials and bed slop etc.

이 연구에서는 2006년 집중호우 시 산사태 및 토석류가 발생한 강원도 인제군의 기룡산 유역을 대상으로 사면붕괴 및 계상변동을 추정하여 만사 상태에 도달한 불투과형 사방댐이 토사유출 조절에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 해석하고, 이를 토대로 사방댐의 설계 및 준설기준을 고도화하는 데에 필요한 새로운 인자를 제안하였다. 일반적으로 사방댐은 계획평형기울기 구간과 계획홍수기울기 구간에서 각각 토사유출의 억제와 조절 기능을 발휘하고 있다. 연구대상유역에 시공된 불투과형 사방댐은 계획억제토사량에 해당하는 저사량이 $2,111m^3$로 설계되었지만, 2006년 집중호우로 인한 산지교란 발생 시에는 해당 사방댐 직상부로부터 250 m의 계류구간에 걸쳐 $3,996m^3$의 유출토사를 조절한 것으로 관측되었다. 결과적으로 해당 사방댐은 유출토사 억제를 위한 계획억제토사량보다 큰 규모의 계획조절토사량을 나타내어 만사된 이후에도 유출토사의 조절이라는 사방댐의 기능을 발휘하고 있었다. 이와 같이 사방댐의 토사유출 조절기능은 토사유출 억제기능과 구분하여 평가하여야 하지만, 현재 우리나라에서는 현지에서 유역 특성을 실측한 자료를 기반으로 한 계획억제토사량 또는 계획조절토사량을 사방댐의 설계 및 준설기준 인자로서 고려하고 있지 않다. 따라서 합리적인 사방댐의 설계 및 유지관리 기준을 마련하기 위해서는 사방댐의 토사유출 억제기능과 조절기능을 정량적으로 해석한 현장자료가 축적되어야 하며, 이는 우리의 사방기술이 보다 객관적이고도 체계적인 면모를 갖춘 과학적 기술로 발전할 수 있는 방안일 것이다.

Shear wave velocity was measured and grain size analysis was conducted on two core samples obtained in unconsolidated marine sediments of the western continental margin, the East Sea. A pulse transmission technique based on the Hamilton frame was used to measure shear wave velocity. Duomorph ceramic bender transducer-receiver elements were used to generate and detect shear waves in sediment samples. Time delay was calculated by changing the sample length from the transducer-receiver element. Time delay is 43.18 μs and shear wave velocity (22.49 m/s) is calculated from the slope of regression line. Shear wave velocities of station 1 and 2 range from 8.9 to 19.0 m/s and from 8.8 to 22 mis, respectively. Shear wave velocities with depth in both cores are qualitatively in agreement with the compared model〔1〕, although the absolute value is different. The sediment type of two core samples is mud (mean grain size, 8-9Φ). Shear wave velocity generally increases with sediment depth, which is suggesting normally consolidated sediments. The complicated variation of velocity anisotropy with depth at station 2 is probably responsible for sediment disturbance by possible gas effect.

잡식성 어류 붕어(Carassius auratus)의 섭식활동에 퇴적물과 독성남조 Microcystis aeruginosa의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 실내 및 현장 mesocosm실험을 실시하고 어류에 의한 식물플랑크톤과 수질변화를 각각 조사하였다. 퇴적물 실험은 실내 수조(7 L)에서 남조발생 저수지(일감호, 서울)의 현장수와 퇴적물을 이용하였고, 독성남조 실험은 독성(NIES-298) 및 비독성(NIES-101) 남조 M. aeruginosa를 이용하였다. 현장 mesocosm실험은 남조 발생이 극심하였던 2005년 7월에 저수지 연안에 총 9개 mesocosm를 설치하고 어류를 밀도별 처리한 다음 식물플랑크톤 밀도와 수질변화를 조사하였다. 모든 실험은 3회씩 반복으로 실시하였다. 실험결과, 퇴적물이 없는 수조에서는 Chl-a의 감소를 보였으나 퇴적물 수조에서는 오히려 Chl-a의 증가를 보였으며, 독성에 상관없이 뚜렷한 M. aeruginosa 제어능을 나타냈다. 현장 mesocosm 실험에서는 비교적 세포크기가 큰 macrophytoplankton (>$50{\mu}m$)를 선호한 반면 나머지 플랑크톤(<$2{\mu}m,\;2{\sim}20{\mu}m,\;20{\sim}50{\mu}m$)은 오히려 성장을 촉진하였다. 영양염은 조류밀도가 높은 조건에서 어류 도입 이후 암모니아의 급격한 증가를 보였다. 따라서 잡식성 어류인 붕어는 남조독성에 상관없이 도입초기 일시적으로 조류제어능을 보이지만 퇴적물 교란 및 영양염 배출로 인하여 현장 조건보다 퇴적물이 적은 정수장이나 생물관리가 가능한 조건에서 제한적으로 적용하는 것이 타당할 것으로 판단되었다.

Multi­Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) is a useful system for logging the physical properties (compressional wave velocity, wet bulk density, fractional porosity, magnetic susceptibility and/or natural gamma radiation) of marine sediments through scanning of whole cores in a nondestructive fashion. But MSCL has a number of problems that can lead to spurious results depending on the various factors such as core slumping, gas expansion, mechanical stretching, and the thickness variation of core liner and sediment. For the verification of MSCL data, compressional wave velocity, wet bulk density, and porosity were measured on discrete samples by Hamilton Frame and Gravimetric method, respectively. Acoustic impedance was also calculated. Physical property data (velocity, wet bulk density, and impedance) logged by MSCL were slightly larger than those of discrete sample, and porosity is reverse. Average difference between MSCL and discrete sample at both sites is relatively small such as 22­24 m/s in velocity, $0.02­-0.08\;g/\textrm{cm}^3$ in wet bulk density, and 2.5­2.7% in porosity. The values also show systematic variation with sediment depth. A variety of factors are probably responsible for the differences including instrument error, various measurement method, sediment disturbance, and accuracy of calibration. Therefore, MSCL can be effectively used to collect physical property data with high resolution and quality, if the calibration is accurately completed.

Turbid water or suspended sediment is associated with negative effects on aquatic organisms; fish, aquatic invertebrate, and periphyton. Effects of turbid water on fish differ depending on their developmental stage and a level of turbidity. Low turbid water may cause feeding and predation rates, reaction distance, and avoidance in fish, and it could make fish to die under high turbidity and long period. Therefore, it is very important to find out how turbid water or suspended sediment can affect fish in domestic watersheds. The objectives of this study were 1) to introduce international case studies and their standards to deal with suspended sediment, 2) to determine acute toxicity in 4 major freshwater fishes, and 3) to determine in relation to adverse effect of macroinvertebrates and fish. Impacts of turbid water on fish can be categorized into direct and indirect effects, and some factors such as duration and frequency of exposure, toxicity, temperature, life stage of fish, size of particle, time of occurrence, availability of and access to refugia, etc, play important role to decide magnitude of effect. A review of turbidity standard in USA, Canada, and Europe indicated that each standard varied with natural condition, and Alaska allowed liberal increase of turbidity over natural conditions in streams. Even though acute toxicity with four different species did not show any fatal effect, it should be considered to conduct a chronic test (long-term) for more detailed assessment. Compared to the control, dominance index of macroinvertebrates was greater in the turbid site, whereas biotic index, species diversity index, species richness index, and ecological score were smaller in the turbid site. According to histopathological analysis with gills of macroinvertebrate and fishes, morphological and physiological modification of gills due to suspended sediments can cause disturbance of respiration, excretion and secretion. In conclusion, in order to maintain good and healthy aquatic ecosystem, it is the best to minimize or prevent impact by occurrence of turbid water in stream and reservoir. We must make every effort to maintain and manage healthy aquatic ecosystem with additional investigation using various assessment tools and periodic biomonitoring of fish.
