This study aimed to identify the aquatic and riparian factors associated with the presence/absence of the Eurasian otter in the Nakdong river basin, where the species is relatively more abundant than other otter species. Environmental factors and presence records were collected. Geographical Information System technology and chi-square test were used to compare environmental gradients in aquatic and riparian factors between presence and absence sites. Aquatic habitat attributes were evaluated with natural riverside sandbars and channel crossing artificial structures, the ratio of channel width to alluvial plain width, riverbed substrate, and flow diversity. Riverbank characteristics, bank materials, man-made embankment types, and land use/land cover of inland and riverside areas were selected as riparian habitat attributes. Compared to the aquatic attributes, riparian attributes were highly significant when assessing otter presence and absence sites, suggesting that conservation of suitable riparian areas to provide maternity and resting areas for otter species is essential in the Nakdong river basin. None of the aquatic attributes examined were statistically significant when evaluating otter presence or absence. These results indicate that the presence of suitable riparian area for resting and reproduction habitats is more critical to the presence of Eurasian otter than food availability in aquatic areas. To inform implementation of effective conservation actions, broad-scale factors, such as watershed attributes, would be needed to further assess habitat conditions of the Eurasian otter.

This study was carried out to investigate nitrification in the main stream of the Naktong river for two times, 12-13 August and 23-26 September 1982. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The increase of nitrogen concentration was due to inflow of Geumho river, which was polluted by the municipal and industrial wastewater of Daegu city. 2. The rate constant of ammonia calculated for three reaches was high according to the stream flow and was eminently low in the reach from Goroung to Gangjung. (0.068-0.116 $day^{-1}$). This phenomena might be attributed to the sublethal or even lethal effect upon aquatic life by relatively low DO concentration and high heavy metal concentration. 3. DO consumption rate by nitrification was highest for the reach from Goroung to Daeam where was affected by Geumho river. (56.7-147.8%). This phenomena might be attributed to low DO concentration and high nitrogen concentration. Especially, the less stream flow was, the higher DO consumption was. And so, nitrification in the station where is low DO concentration, especially under the low flow condition, might cause more serious water quality management problem. Therefore, for the purpose of effective conservation of water quality in the Naktong river, it was suggested that We have more concern about the nitrogen compound, and more study on the nitrification phenomena.

In order to simulate a free surface flow in a trench channel, a three-dimensional incompressible unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations are closed with the ${\kappa}-{\epsilon}$ model. The artificial compressibility (AC) method is used. Because the pressure fields can be coupled directly with the velocity fields, the incompressible Navier-Stokes (INS) equations can be solved for the unknown variables such as velocity components and pressure. The governing equations are discretized in a conservation form using a second order accurate finite volume method on non-staggered grids. In order to prevent the oscillatory behavior of computed solutions known as odd-even decoupling, an artificial dissipation using the flux-difference splitting upwind scheme is applied. To enhance the efficiency and robustness of the numerical algorithm, the implicit method of the Beam and Warming method is employed. The treatment of the free surface, so-called interface-tracking method, is proposed using the free surface evolution equation and the kinematic free surface boundary conditions at the free surface instead of the dynamic free surface boundary condition. AC method in this paper can be applied only to the hydrodynamic pressure using the decomposition into hydrostatic pressure and hydrodynamic pressure components. In this study, the boundary-fitted grids are used and advanced each time the free surface moved. The accuracy of our RANS solver is compared with the laboratory experimental and numerical data for a fully turbulent shallow-water trench flow. The algorithm yields practically identical velocity profiles that are in good overall agreement with the laboratory experimental measurement for the turbulent flow.

Bupleurum latissimum is a narrowly endemic and endangered plant, restricted to only two small populations on steep cliffs of a small island, Ulleung Island, in Korea. The genetic diversity and population differentiation in the two remnant populations of the species were investigated using RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) analysis. The Neis gene diversities were 0.146 in the smaller population of 45 individuals, and 0.151 in the larger population of 61 individuals. The genetic variation was not significantly different between these two populations. Genetic diversity within populations was not low considering the very small size of populations. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed higher variation within populations (65.9%) than genetic differentiation between them (34.1%). B. latissimum revealed higher population differentiation than other outbreeding species. The differentiation of the populations corresponded to low gene flow (Nem = 0.482). The cluster and principal coordination analyses provide strong support for high population differentiation, showing that all individuals of the two populations have built up population-specific clusters. Although gene flow between the two populations of B. latissimum was limited, they have preserved relatively high levels of genetic variation.

Treatment efficiency was examined of a pond-wetland system constructed for water quality conservation of Koheung Estuarine Lake over one year after its establishment in July 2000. The system is composed of primary and secondary ponds in series and six wetland cells in parallel. Cattails (Typha angustiflora) were planted in three wetland cells and common reeds (Phragmites australis) in three other cells. Water pumped from Sinyang Stream flowing into the Lake was funneled into primary pond whose effluent was discharged into secondary pond by gravity flow. Effluent from secondary pond was distributed into each wetland cell. SS, $BOD_5$, T-N, and T-P concentrations in influent to primary pond, and effluent from primary pond, secondary pond, and three wetland cells planted with cattails were analyzed for about one year from August 2000 to August 2001. The removal rates at primary pond for SS, $BOD_5$, T-N and T-P were 29%, 30%, 15%, and 36%, respectively. The abatement rates at secondary pond for SS, $BOD_5$, T-N and T-P were 38%, 40%, 30%, and 47%, respectively. The reduction rates measured at three cattail-planted wetland cells for SS, $BOD_5$, T-N and T-P were 54%, 57%, 60%, and 68%, respectively. Considering early stage of the pond-wetland system and inclusion of winter during the research period, its treatment efficiency was rather good. Cattails had not yet grown to dense stands due to initial establishment period, which resulted in slightly lower treatment efficiencies of wetland cells for these pollutants, compared with those of ponds.

고분은 구조적 특성상 대부분 좁고 밀폐된 공간으로 이루어져 있으며, 고분을 둘러싼 높은 봉분으로 인해 외부 환경으로부터 일부 차단된 공간적 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 공간적 특성은 연중 낮은 온도와 높은 상대습도가 유지되는 환경적 특성으로 이어진다. 연구 대상인 공주 송산리 고분군은 외부로부터 고분 내부로 유입되는 열에너지가 고분을 덮고 있는 토양층과 다수의 연결된 출입구로 인해 열의 흐름이 차단되거나 지연되는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 열흐름의 특이성(특수성)은 고분 내부 환경과 외부 환경 사이에 약 2개월의 시간적 격차를 발생시키고 있었다. 또한 고분 외부에서 차등적으로 유입되는 열에너지로 인해 고분 내부의 환경은 수평적, 수직적으로 미세한 환경적 차이가 발생되었다. 고분 내부에서 발생된 미시환경의 차이는 매년 규칙적으로 발생되고 있었으며, 이러한 특성을 활용하여 방위 및 공간에 따른 환경조건과 결로현상 발생위치를 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 최적 보존환경을 유지하기 위해 설치된 강제순환식 항온항습기의 고분 벽화 손상 위험성과 기계적 한계점을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로 향후 송산리 고분과 고분 벽화를 보존하기 위한 최적의 공조 설비 방안 및 공간계획수립에 있어 기반자료로 활용되기를 기대한다.

본 연구의 목적은 산지에서 세립사가 포함된 유동체 혼합물이 다양한 경사 각도를 갖는 수로에서 공급유량의 변화에 따른 토사체적농도를 분석한 것이다. 수치모델은 질량보존 및 운동량 보존에 관한 방정식 그리고 세립토와 조립토 방정식에 기초하여 유한차분법을 이용하여 수행되었다. 비탈 경사면 각도 변화에 따른 토사농도 비교에서 경사가 급할수록 토사체적 농도의 급격한 변곡점이 나타났다. 공급유량의 변화에서는 공급유량이 많을수록 Fluctuation이 발생하였고, 토석류의 상태가 난류형으로 변하여 토사가 부유사 형태로 변화되었다. 이는 토석류의 이동속도가 빠르게 됨을 알 수 있다. 포화된 조립토의 변화에 따른 비교에서는 그 길이가 길수록 고농도가 발생하였으므로 사면 안정을 위해서는 사면에서의 침식 가능 여부를 먼저 판단해야 된다. 본 연구의 결과는 강우 변화에 따른 비탈면 하류단에서의 유동체 혼합물의 토석류에 의한 재해를 예측 및 다양한 경사의 비탈면을 갖는 산지 밑에서의 토석류에 의한 재해에 대한 정보를 제공할 것이다. 또한 사면 안정 시 효율적인 사면 경사각도로 설치하는 것과 사면에서의 침식 방지등에 있어 토석류와의 관계성 분석 및 토석류 재해를 막기 위한 다양한 대책을 세우는 데 효과적인 정보를 제공할 것이다.

Namdae-cheon in Gangwon-do Province, Korea, is a valuable well-preserved lagoon. The estuary of Namdae-cheon Stream is closed because of the surrounding natural sand shoal. Thus, during the dry season, river water cannot easily flow to the ocean and therefore stagnates. River water congestion causes environmental deterioration of estuaries, often by eutrophication. In this study, we examined wall disintegration in the estuary area and used it to determine appropriate measures for the conservation of estuary water quality in the future. A total of 24 sites were selected, with 13 sites on the west side and 11 sites on the east side of the estuary study area. Samples were collected and analyzed for particle size and moisture content both vertically and horizontally. Sedimentary deposition rate was measured, and subsidence analysis was performed. Particle size, water content, sedimentary deposition, and subsidence analyses indicated that flow shifted to the west during the study period. In conjunction with other variables that may affect changes in flow, these parameters can be used in future research to predict shoal breaches and associated changes in water flow direction.
