This study is to analyze the affecting factors to the peak factor in the drinking water supply Facilities. The peak factor is a very important element to determine the capacity of the water supply facllities. Several factors such as Population served, average day water demand, ratio of domestic water use, ratio of affairs & business water use and water use per capital per day were selected as the affecting factors in this study. In this study, peak factor characteristics for Korean facilities were compared with those for Japanese ones. As a result, non-exceedance probability was suggested as the designing method for the peak factor. Also, the 50% non-exceedance probability values and the 90% values based on the 1998-1999 data were suggested in this study.

In order to suggest the methodology for achieving anti-vortex within multi pump intake well, the field test and CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation were conducted. The filed test were carried out for domestic W_multi pump intake well according to usual operation condition through the naked observation. From the results, operating #4, #5, #8 and 9# pumps, the vortex and swirl occurred above #4 and #9 intake pipe within two wells. For qualitative analysis, a commercial CFD code, using sump model, was used to predict the vortex generation within the selected pump intake facility accurately. The analysed results by CFD show that the vortex structure and location are in accordance with the results of the field test.

This study collected the latest 30-year (1976~2005) continuous rainfall data hourly recorded at 61 meterological observatories in Korea. The continuous rainfall data was divided into individual rainfall events. In addition, distribution charts of average intervent times between adjacent rainfall events were created to facilitate the application to the overflow risk-based design of storm-water infiltration basin. This study shows that the one-parameter exponential distribution is suitable for the frequency distribution of the average intervent times for the domestic rainfall data. Distribution charts of the average intervent times were created for 4 hour and 6 hour of storm separation time, respectively. The inland Gyeongsangbuk-do and Western coastal area had relatively longer average intervent times, whereas Southern coastal area and Jeju-do had relatively shorter average intervent times.

This study was conducted to qualify the equality of the flow distribution from open channel between rapid mixing basin and flocculation basins in a domestic S_ water treatment plant, and to suggest a remedy for improving the equality. In order to evaluate the feasibility of the suggested remedy, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique are used, and for verifying the CFD simulation results tracer tests were carried out. From the results of CFD simulation and tracer tests, it was investigated that the modification of hydraulic structure in the distribution channel, which is to install the longitudinal orifice baffle in flow direction, could improve the equality of the flow distribution over 75%.

The dynamics of microbial community structure of the various domestic wastewater treatment processes were examined using a novel approach of quinone profiles. The compositions of microbial quinone of 5 sites fer plant and lab-scale activated sludge were analyzed. More than 14 kinds of quinones were observed in the activated sludges tested in this study. The microbial community structure of the plant activated sludge processes a little differed from that of the lab-scale submerged MBR systems. The dominant quinones were UQ-8, UQ-10 followed $MK-8(H_4)$, MK-7 and MK-6. The molar ratio of ubiquinones to menaquinones (UQ/MK) changed from 0.81 to 1.9, indicating that aerobic bacteria dominated the microbial community of the activated sludge examined. The microbial diversity of the activated sludges calculated from the all quinone compositions was 9.5-11.9 and the microbial equability of the activated sludges was 0.64-0.79.

This paper examines the applicability of DAF-system to the domestic sewers for the effective CSOs treatment. The procedures for the experiment include mainly two steps. One is to analyse the water qualities and settling test of the CSOs and the other focuses on general characteristics of the CSOs such as the removal efficiency of pollutant, the distribution of particle size and mass balance of DAF-system. The result of this study show that the application of DAF-system is more effective and economical than the existing treatment systems because it has two removal mechanisms of sedimentation and flotation simultaneously.

Pollution load allocation can likely be much controversial, which is essential to formulate the total water pollution load management plan. Existing rules(or guidances) in Korea, can provide no specific criteria for load allocation. Therefore, this paper studied(comprehensively) possible standards how or why to choose any particular allocation method, which was applied in the Gwangju City's load allocation for the satisfaction of set water quality goal. This load allocation is basically focused on the load reduction of domestic wastewater rather than industrial wastewater, because the land-use is strictly regulated and larger sources of pollution are few in the Gwangju City. This paper recommends the city to increase the capacity of sewage treatment plants, promote sewerage maintenance, and set higher effluent standards.

According to the population increase and industrialization, the drinking water source, Han River and other sources, are contaminated by industrial wastewater, domestic sewage, and agricultural discharges. Among the contaminants, and toxic substances, pesticides is most interesting items (or human health Our drinking water has some problems of THMs, Fe, odor, etc., $o many people use groundwater or bottled water. But sometimes there are many reports about groundwater contamination owing to the agricultural chemicals, waste disposal, industrial wastewater. In America, there are about 45,000 groundwave supply company and in korea about 20% of total population are using groundwave as drinking water source. In America, studies about SEE is increasing Instead of liquid- liquid extraction method, because of many advantages of SEE methods. Author tried to investigate SPE methods in the spiked water samples to compare with liquid- liquid extraction method and got the following results. The amount of organic solvents which are used In SPE method is less than 1/10 compared with liquid- liquid method, the analytical duration time is shortened, and the ethyl acetate was good fluent among several organic solvents.

Fluoride was first introduced into the drinking water of residents of Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1945 for the prevention of dental caries. Ever since, growing numbers of communities favor fluoridation. Now, over 7000 communities in the United States are adding F(0.7~1.2ppm) to their drinking water. The most effective to prevent tooth decay is putting lower concentrated fluoride(F, 0.7~1.2ppm) into drinking water. However, exact fluoride injection amount have not been decided, because the research of the fluoride injection effect was insufficient. Therefore, after separating fluoridation and non-fluoridation into public water supplies, we investigated concentration of fluoride, alkalinity, Al, Ca, Mg, evaporation residuals in APT, domestic, commercial area. Then, we decided allowable concentration of fluoride, injection point of fluoride in water supply system, cost effectiveness.

Ozone process is currently applied in 24 water treatment plants in Korea to control micropollutants and taste & odor compounds. However, one of the chlorine resistant protozoa, cryptosporidium, is not being considered as ozone disinfection performance whereas U.S. is already regulate Cryptosporidium by ozone disinfection. two ozone plants(PH, UH WTP) operation conditions are investigated for disinfection performance comparing Korea disinfection regulation and U.S. regulation. The ozone plants are unable to get Cryptosporidium inactivation credits by Korea disinfection regulation. However, the inactivation credit for Cryptosporidum was increased when the U.S. disinfection regulation was applied. The Korea disinfection credit regulation need revision to practical aspects.
