The effect of the intercepting ratios on the water quality improvement was simulated by using Finite Segment Method in a urban river where intercepting sewer under the ground and constructing sewage treatment plant are now being proceeded. To simulate variations of the water quality caused by river flows, rating curve at each gaging station was derived from measurements. Water quality data were from the exiting observations at each key stations from 1990 to 1998, for 1999 and 2000 data we measured in creek and drainage ditch in addition to observation stations. It revealed that increasing the intercepting ratios improved the water quality.

The objective of this study is to treat contaminated stream by using a UFBR(upflow fixed biofilm reactor) packed with waste-concrete media. This system was tested from June 1999 to January 2000. Over $20.0^{\circ}C$, $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency did not affected with organic loading rate while, $COD_{cr}$ removal efficiency decreased about 7% with decrease of temperature from $27.0^{\circ}C$ to $8.7^{\circ}C$. Under $16^{\circ}C$, TKN removal efficiency was affected with TKN loading rate. The proposed model apply to mass balance equation of fixed biofilm reactor for predicting effluent was well satisfied with measured value($R^2=0.94$).

In this country grassed waterway practice has long been employed for the protection of drainage or diversion ditches in treating the sloped forest lands. However, the hydraulic characteristics of flow in the ditches have been entirely away from consideration in determining the dimensions of the ditches. This paper is intended first to bring forth some problems which should be brought ioto Consideration in designing grassed waterway including hydrologic aspect for determining the drainage requirement, erosion resistance of various grasses and other factors related to the hydraulics of ditch and second to introduce to readers a method of grassed waterway design, though modified, proposed for U. S. Soil Conservation Service practice. The method presented in the paper was primarily based upon the data originated from the experiments of U. S. Soil Conservation Service laboratories and further investigations on the factors involved are hoped to be conducted for applying the design criteria in this country. It is recommended to use the method of grassed waterway design ,presented in this paper from the view point of wide employment of grass lining on ditches which is obtainable at the lower cost and in abundance every where in this country.

We Propose an improved shovel design to minimize physical discomfort and the risk of cumulative trauma disorder at shoveling tasks. The specifications of shovels in Korean standard data were scrutinized to check if they met the anthropometric specification of Korean population in 1997. We also applied "Body Map" pictograph and self-conscious checklist to field survey to analyze the discomfort of shoveling task. Thirty male subjects whose age were ranging from 18 to 65 voluntarily participated in the experiment. The measurement results show that shoveling workers were exposed to hazards of CTD's. Especially, when workers were involved in ditch digging and construction their trunk vend more than 120 degree. In order to compare the new designed shovel and the traditional K.S shovel, an analysis of variance was performed and we obtained very strong evidence that the new designed shovel was better in reducing physical discomfort. According to the results from electromyograrn experiment the new shovel contributed to improving subjective comfort level and reducing low back muscle fatigue. For futher study, the research may be extended to determine the relationship among shovel sharpness, type, digging motion and digging force.ing force.

A four-legged Walking Machine can move on the plain terrain with mobility and stability and stability, but if there exist any obstacles on the terrain of the motion direction, it takes extra time to cross those obstacles and the stability should be considered during motion. The main objective is the study a Quadruped which can cross obstacles with better mobility, stability and fuel economy than any other wheeled or tracked vehicles. Vertical step, isolated wall and ditch are the basic obstacles and by understanding those three cases perfectly, a Quadruped can move on any mixed rough terrain as 4-legged terrestrial vertebrates move. Each leg of a Quadruped has a limited walk space called a walking volume and this is very important to deter- mine the crossing capability in a static analysis. A Quadruped can be simplified with links and joints. By applying the research method, a quadruped can determine the control procedures as soon as it receives the terrain information from scanner and finally can move with mobility and stability.

지구 온난화 현상 및 이상기후로 지구환경 변화는 물환경 변화에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히, 지표수에 의존도가 높은 국내의 수자원 공급시스템은 지구환경 변화에 의한 강우 분포의 시간적, 공간적 불균질성에 대한 취약성이 높으며, 이에 기후변화에 따른 상대적 변동성이 적은 지하수자원의 활용 가능성이 높아지고 있다. 지하수 인공함양 기술은 강우, 지하수 및 하수 처리수 등의 잉여 수자원을 관정, 수로, 인공함양 분지 및 습지, 지하댐 등의 인공시설물을 활용하여 지하 대수층에 주입시킨 후 양질의 수자원을 확보하는 기술이다. 이번 연구에서는 수치해석을 활용하여 함양지역의 유역형상 및 지층경사, 대수층 두께, 체류시간, 수리상수 등 수리지질 인자를 고려한 인공함양 방식별 인공함양 효율성을 평가하고자 한다. 인공함양 방식은 수직관정 및 수로(Ditch)를 적용하였다.

Agriculture modern environments can vary due to factors such as land consolidation and ditch enhancement projects. But, these improvements projects can include cover-ing-up of irrigation ditches with concrete, increasing the drop between paddy field and drainage ditches, which might decrease the abundance and diversity of fish fauna around paddy fields. In this study, for the management of agrobiodiversity on fish in paddy fields, we installed a small-scale fishways between paddy fields and drainage ditches, and evaluated the effects on the eco-connection of the paddy fields, ditches and stream. Five fish species were recovered at the drainage ditches. The species exhibited characteristics spawning and growth based on the paddy field. The results indicate that the five fish species could ascend the paddy fields through the small-scale fishways. There are no difference of species numbers at ditches of environment-friendly agriculture paddy fields (A) and good agricultural practices (B) region, but individual numbers were higher at the B region. This result could be interpreted as indicating that ditch diversity was affected by positional properties rather than farming practices because the water flow and connection to adjacent stream of B region were better than A region. After ascertaining the fish species capable of ascending in a pre-survey of the drainage ditches, we set up small-scale fishways at the drop between paddy fields and drainage ditches. Three species of fish (Aphyocypris chinensis, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, M. mizolepis) arrived at the paddy fields via small-scale fishways. The main movement time was from 18:00~24:00 and 00:00~06:00, indicating a preference for the night time period rather than the day period for migration. Concentrating the operation time from night to dawn seems prudent for effective management of small-scale fishways.

The study deals with surface erosion patterns due to the development of cropland toward hillslope and hilltop in the Oncheon-gun, pyeongbuk province and Nampo city of west coast area in the North Korea, using Quick Bird satellite images with 60cm resolution. In North Korea, for national economic difficult after 1980 year, newly developed croplands have been along the gentle hillslope, in which it is possible for individual man power different from the tideland which needs large scaled man-power and equipment. The new croplands are named Darakbat(terraced farm with embankment) and Bitalbat(titled farm developed on the original hill slope), neighboring with orchard and grouped settlement in lower valley. For supplying agricultural water, irrigation ditches and temporal crop storages have been constructed, connecting Darakbat, Bitalbat and orchard. These cropland developments have caused surface erosion composed of 3 types such as pit, linear and headward erosion, together with rill and gully. Owing to poor management of cropland and irrigation system, topsoil erosion and, collapse and sedimentation of ditch and pool, caused the decrease of agricultural productivity. These analysis using Quick Bird images can suggest original raw data about geographical facts on North Korea agriculture and help to recover their agricultural system and plan future national unified land.

The run-off experiment plots had been established for eight sets of plot comprising four treatments with two replications on $20^{\circ}$ slope land having the Wait-A-Bit Clay soil(locally known), at the Olive River Soil Conservation Centre, Trelawny in Jamaica. The location of plots was about 820 metres m.s.l. and sloped north-west. Each plot size was determined as $40m^2$ having 2.7 m wide and 15.8 m long along slope. All of the run-off soil and water were collected by using the receiving tanks through the collection troughs and conveyance pipes. These run-off materials were measured and sampled, dried and computed for determination of the soil loss from each treatment of plots. During the first period of experiment for about 10 month which was one crop-year cycle of yam crop, total amount of 1,295 mm rainfall received. The heaviest daily rainfall was recorded as 116.2 mm on August 5 followed by 100.4 mm on August 6, 1980. The soil sediment had been collected and analysed for eleven times during this experiment. Total amounts of soil sediment as over-dried weight by the treatment plot were estimated as 182 ton/ha from treatment I, 105 tons/ha from treatment II, 50 tons/ha from treatment III, 43 tons/ha from treatment IV respectively. It is recommendable at present that the treatment III and IV measure which treated with contour mounds with the hillside ditch and grass buffer strip should be adopt4ed for hillside farming particularly with yam cultivation in Jamaica.
