The benefits of high performance retention systems have been long recognized by the paper maker. The inter-relation between chemical retention and drainage and their effect on paper production efficiency and paper quality is significant. The subject of this paper is a summary of recent studies comparing three microparticle programs made under highly controlled pilot and commercial paper machine conditions. The results presented in this paper suggest that, in addition to improvements in machine operation, the retention, drainage and formation program can have a marked influence on the paper quality. Improvement of the topographical characteristics of the base paper was observed when the microparticle was a colloidal borosilicate inorganic oxide.

In this study, drainage systems were proposed to drain the leakage of groundwater in the existing underground concrete structures. The system consists of drainage board, wire mesh, fixed nail, and mortar with mineral. In order to increase constructability, the drainage board and wire mesh were attached on the surface of cement concrete using the air nailer and fixed nail. The mortar with 30% of blast furnace slag was sprayed on the drainage board and wire mesh using the spray mortar equipment. The field test construction was carried out in a conventional concrete lining tunnel and concrete retaining wall for performance verification of the drainage system in the field. There was no problem with performance degradation in the drainage system for three years after construction. The bond strength tests were performed on the sprayed mortar at 14 days and about 3 years after field test construction. In case of attaching the wire mesh on the drainage board, the bond strengths of the sprayed mortar were 1.04 MPa at 14 days and 1.46 MPa about 3 years. In case of the drainage board without the wire mesh, the bond strengths of the sprayed mortar were 1.13 MPa at 14 days and 0.89 MPa, less than 1 MPa of bond strength criteria, about 3 years.

This study analyzed and modeled the relationships between the species richness of fish, plant, and bird and environmental factors such as climatic and geographical variables based on data collected from 109 major drainage systems in Japan from 1990 until 2005. As a result, the most parts of the distributions of the fish, plant, and bird species richness were clarified by the average annual atmospheric temperature, dimension of drainage areas, and annual rainfall, respectively. In addition, this study predicted the value of each organism species distributed in national drainage areas in Japan using GAMs(Generalized Additive Models) for each organism model created by environmental factors on a wide-ranging scale, and also mapped out the value. Mapping out the predicted value could make it easier for its managers to newly set up the areas needing to be protected to obtain diversity of the organism species and to assess their availability of conservation for bio-diversity.

Rapid change of urban area become a serious cause of disaster in existing drainage systems, and the practical alternatives in that situations are needed. The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety, one of drainage systems, detention reservoir and pumping station by new pumping criteria. New drainage pumping criteria, divided into two parts (rising limb and falling limb), which used in reservoir routing, shows more efficient flood prevention effect than existing criteria (based on the reservoir water level). To obtain the optimal range of flood prevention, sensitivity analysis of each inflow v.s. pumping capacity is tested. As a results, using 10 year design rainfall, 60% of detention reservoir and drainage pumping stations in Seoul are safe. In this results, there must be a fundamental and powerful counterplans to prevent inland flooding in Seoul metropolitan area.

In order to produce high quality paper at the lowest cost in high speed, typically various polyelectrolytes as retention aids were used. Retention systems such as single polymer system, dual polymer system, and microparticle system were used. The objective of this study was to analyze the changes of retention, drainage, formation and fracture toughness depending on types of retention system, molecular weight of C-PAM and dosage sequences of agents. When single polymer system was applied, retention was increased with poor formation and drainage. When common microparticle system(C-PAM/bentonite) was used, high molecular weight PAM gave high retention and fast drainage, but poor formation. When the microparticle system with reverse dosage sequence(bentonite/C-PAM) was used, low molecular weight PAM gave high retention, fast drainage and good formation. When various retention agents were applied, fracture toughness was increased than that of blank. When using high molecular weight PAM and consequently causing excessive flocculation, fracture toughness was decreased.

This study was undertaken to summarize of the efficiencies of the passive treatment system and suggest future studies for the solution of mine drainage problem. Flow rates of mine drainage from the abandoned coal mines are about 80,000 ton/day. Contaminated mine drainages over about 50 ton/day of flow rate were treated by passive treatment facilities such as Successive Alkalinity Producing Systems(SAPS), oxidation pond and oxic wetland. Chemical analysis for 13 passive coal mine treatment facilities showed that SAPS was the core of treatment facilities because the variation of Fe removal rates was relatively smaller than any other processes and re-leaching of Fe was not measured. The performance and life of SAPS depended on decrease in permeability and retention time due to accumulation of sludge. It is inferred that upgrade of design of the passive treatment system and in-situ treatment using underground void will be necessary for the amelioration of the mine drainage with high metal loading rates.

Water pollutants in drainage mainly consist of organic compounds. Hence, total organic carbon (TOC), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) were generally used as the indices of pollution. However, these values are determined by special analyzer (TOC), titration method (COD), or microbe culture (BOD). Therefore, the development of simple and easy methods for the determination of water pollution is required. The authors reported the evaluation of water pollution by near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in a model system with food components (Takamura et al. (200) Near Infrared Spectroscopy: Proceedings of 9th International Conference, pp. 503-507). In this study, the relationship between NIR spectra and drainage was investigated in order to develop a method for evaluation of drainage by NIR. Drainage was obtained in Nara Purification Center. The ranges of TOC, COD, and BOD were 0-130, 0-100 and 0-200, respectively. NIR transmittance spectra were recorded on NIR Systems Model 6250 Research Composition Analyzer in the wavelength range of 680-1235 and 1100-2500 nm with a quartz cell (light path: 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 10mm) at 10-40. Statistical analysis was performed using NSAS program. A partial least squares (PLS) regression analysis was used for calibration. As the result, a good correlation between the raw NIR spectra and OC was obtained in the calibration. The best light path was 10 and 0.5mm in the wavelength range of 680-1235 and 110-2500nm, respectively. In the calibration, correlation coefficients(R) were 096-0.97 in the both range. In the prediction, however, a good correlation (R=0.89-0.96) was obtained only in the range of 6801235 nm, Similar results were obtained in the cases of COD and BOD. These results suggest the possibility that NIR spectroscopy can be used to evaluate drainage.

The hydrological cycle system in the city is generally characterized by quick runoff, bad infiltration, low evaporation rate, and so on. It is caused by sealing greens up with pavements. Also, there are lots of contradictory environmental problems, such as inundation, the lack of underground water and dryness in the city, caused by the urban drainage system which is mostly focused on the quick draining off rainfall. In addition, the technique joining rain and sewage, which has more dangers of inundation, occupies 66% between two Korean drainage systems which consist of joining and dividing system. There has been some need to convert the present drainage system into the environmentally friendly hydrological cycle system. This is a theoretical study to examine some foreign cases and suggested applicable methods in our country, focusing on the environmentalyl friendly system of rainfall drainage. The precipitation treatment system can be made up of some possible phases choosing from premanagement, utilization, infiltration, retention, and inducement phases. Therefore, this study mostly focused on infiltration, retention, and inducement phases. It is necessary to suggest the multifunctional utilization of outdoor spaces, especially applying in new constructing and re-constructing residential estates.

One of the big problems facing municipalities is the management and control of urban flooding where urban drainage systems are under growing pressure due to increases in urbanization, population and changes in the climate. Urban flooding causes environmental and infrastructure damage, especially to roads, this damage increasing maintenance costs. The aim of the present study is to develop a decision support tool to identify the performance of storm networks to address future risks associated with climate change in the Middle East region and specifically, illegal sewer connections in the storm networks of Karbala city, Iraq. The storm water management model has been used to simulate Karbala's storm drainage network using continuous hourly rainfall intensity data from 2008 to 2016. The results indicate that the system is sufficient as designed before consideration of extra sewage due to an illegal sewer connection. Due to climate changes in recent years, rainfall intensity has increased reaching 33.54 mm/h, this change led to flooding in 47% of manholes. Illegal sewage will increase flooding in the storm system at this rainfall intensity from between 39% to 52%.
