The Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework was used to develop sustainability indicators for the Han River estuarine area. A total of 37 indicators in three categories were derived after reviewing previous studies. Some of these indicators were selected to assess the sustainability of the Han River estuary and its watershed. Some indicators provided contrasting information for judging the sustainability of the area. Even though very limited information was available for the meaningful assessment of the sustainability of the Han River estuarine area, there seems to be an appropriate base for the sustainable development of the area. Securing of reliable information seems to be the key for the indicators to produce meaningful assessment of the implementation of the sustainable development strategy for the Han River Estuary and its watershed. Integrated indices to synthesize the information provided by the sectoral indicators need to be developed to overcome the limitations of the sectoral indicators.

지난 반세기 동안의 무분별한 개발로 인하여 하구역 생태 환경은 심각하게 훼손되었다. 이를 관리하기 위한 전 지구적 요구는 증대되고 있으나 효율적으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템은 부재한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기관별로 산재된 하구역 생태 환경 데이터를 통합하여 하구역을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 통합 DB관리시스템을 개발고자 하였다. 이를 위해 2010년 영산강 하구역을 대상으로 실시한 모니터링 DB와 공간 데이터 표출에 우수한 GIS DB를 통합하여 시스템 개발에 적용하였다. 시스템의 개발환경은 VisualBasic.NET과 지도기반의 공간 분석을 위한 ArcObjects 컴포넌트를 이용하였다. 또한 데이터의 활용을 높이기 위하여 사용자 요구분석을 통한 GUI(Graphical User Interface)의 구성, 모니터링 DB의 표출방안, 레이어의 우선순위, 모듈단위 기능 등을 정의하였고, 최종적으로 정의된 내용을 바탕으로 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 통합 DB관리시스템은 영산강의 현 생태 환경을 파악할 수 있으며, 사용자에게 효율적인 공유 및 관리환경을 지원할 것으로 예측된다. 향후에는 모델링 시스템과 연계하여 미래 하구역 생태 환경의 종합적인 진단 및 신뢰성 있는 예측이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Since cultural eutrophication has the detrimental effects on estuarine and coastal ecosystems, recognition of early stage of nutrient over-enrichment is critical for effective managements of the ecosystems. Since released nutrients into coastal ecosystems are diluted and dissipated through tidal action and rapid uptakes by marine plants, monitoring of in situ nutrient concentrations may not be useful for detecting early eutrophication on coastal and estuarine ecosystems. To develop an effective indicator of cultural eutrophication using marine plants, tissue N content and area normalized leaf mass of eelgrass, Zostera marina were examined in Kosung Bay and Koje Bay on the south coast of Korea from June 2001 to April 2003. Eelgrass tissue N content exhibited obvious seasonal variations. Leaf N content was highest during winter and early spring and lowest during summer. Eelgrass tissue N content was higher at Kosung Bay site, which has higher sediment organic content, than at Koje Bay site. Area normalized leaf mass showed reverse trend of leaf N content, and consequently, eelgrass leaf N content and leaf mass exhibited strong negative correlation at both study sites. The results of the present study suggested that the ratio of eelgrass leaf N content to area normalized leaf mass can be applied to assess environmental nitrogen conditions on the coastal and estuarine ecosystems.

SWMM and WASP5 were applied for pollutant loading estimate from watershed and reservoir water quality simulation, respectively, to predict estuarine reservoir water quality. Application of natural systems to improve estuarine reservoir water quality was reviewed, and its effect was predicted by WASP5. Study area was the Hwa-Ong reservoir in Hwasung-Gun, Kyonggi-Do. Procedures for estimation of pollutant loading from watershed and simulation of corresponding reservoir water quality were reviewed. In this study, SWMM was proved to be an appropriate watershed model to the nonurban area, and it could evaluate land use effects and many hydrological characteristics of catchment. WASP5 is a well known lake water quality model and its application to the estuarine reservoir was proved to be suitable. These models are both dynamic and the output of SWMM can be linked to the WASP5 with little effort, therefore, use of these models for reservoir water quality prediction in connection was appropriate. Further efforts to develop more logical and practical measures to predict reservoir water quality are necessary for proper management of estuarine reservoirs.

This study discusses characteristic of spatiotemporal changes of the sand barrier in the Nakdong estuarine for the last century, focusing on geomarphologic evolution and mobility of sand barriers in the view of coastal engineering. The Nakdong estuarine, the research subject, has a complexly changing natural environment by interaction between ground and marine elements such as ocean wave, tidal current, sediment, etc. Moreover, recently, unnatural geomorphologic changes (e.g., seaside reclamation, new harbor construction, etc.) has been radically increased in this area with increasing desire for coastal development. Because of this, its sand barrier has developed quite unstable condition. Therefore, to identify the development process of geomorphologic changes in this area, required is a close examination on historical characteristics of spatiotemporal changes of the sand barrier in relation to surrounding seaside reclamation and physical environmental changes. This study, based on the marine charts published in between 1927 and 1995 year, analyzes the length and area of the sand barrier for the last hundred years, and investigates the cause of the changes by looking into the change of water depth for the last two years and doing ocean-physical site observations. In conclusion, the sand barrier of the Nakdong estuarine expands toward the open sea by $7.4{\sim}26m$ in annual average, maintaining a fixed distance of $1,241{\sim}1.279m$, and its area is expected to increase about $2.8km^2$ annually. This is characterized by the wocean wave from the open sea and the discharge of Nakdong River.

In the persent study, we conducted numerical experiments using a three-dimensional baroclinic equation model and a Lagrangian method for clarifying the hydrodynamics in Osaka Bay under the yearly mean discharge and visualizing the behaviour of particles of different settling velocity discharged from Yodo River and sedimentation pattern on the sea bottom. Particles are transported from the Yodo River to the south direction by the residual circulation of the bay head at the first stage, and after most of suspended solids particles are settled down at any layer and returned in the south-east coastal area through bottom layers by an estuarine circulation. The results show that estuarine circulation plays an important part of suspended solids transportation in the Osaka Bay.

An Ecocomplex is proposed for ecological design of the estuarine environment of Han River, which is designed upon an alternative mamagement concept of estuarine environment. The concept reveals interrelationships among estuary, delta region and urban inland with inputs/outputs and feedbacks among them. The Ecocomplex emphasizes an integration of wastewater treatment with aquaculture, agriculture and recreation, and carries out ecological treatment, recycling, and harvest processes. A module of wastewater treatment pond system is employed in the Ecocomplex, which treats a flow of 3,786 ㎥/day and is composed of a four-facultative-pond series. Treatment ponds stabilize wastewater discharged from the urban area, and concurrently produce algae for commercial or recreational fish farming. Effluent from treatment and fish ponds is reused for agricultural production. Through the waste-algae-fish-vegetable-recreation processes, wastewater from the urban settlement is recycled back to the urban ecosystem. This resource-conserving design approach can maintain a sustainable urban ecosystem, managing an estuarine environment more naturally, healthly, and economically.

한강 유역에서 하천과 하구-만의 퇴적환경의 연계성과 한강본류의 퇴적환경의 변화를 연구하기 위해, 230여 점의 표층퇴적물과 70여 점의 부유퇴적물과 수리학적 자료를 분석하였다. 연구지역은 신곡수중보를 기준으로 두 가지 환경(하천, 하구-만)으로 구분할 수 있다. 남한강과 북한강에는 역질 퇴적상이, 한강 본류는 사질과 실트질 퇴적상이 우세하게 븐포하였다. 한강 본류 지역은 신곡수중보에 의한 제한적인 퇴적물 이동과 에너지 환경에 의해 퇴적환경의 변화가 발생하였다. 하구-만 환경에 있어서, 수로와 외해 지역에는 상대적으로 조립한 퇴적물이 우세한 반면에, 연안지역은 세립하고 분급도가 불량한 퇴적물이 우세하게 분포하였다. 하천과 하구-만의 연계성은 인공 구조물에 의한 흐름의 제한에 의해서 영향받기 때문에, 평수기에 각 하천은 개별적인 퇴적환경을 나타내며, 하천과 하구-만의 연계적인 퇴적환경은 조석에 영향을 받고, 하구-만의 전이적인 지역은 하천 방향으로 이동한다. 그러나, 풍수기에 각 하천은 하천 유량의 증가에 의해, 연계적인 퇴적환경을 나타내며, 하천-하구-만의 각각의 전이지역은 외해방향으로 이동함을 시사한다. 보다 자세한 연구를 위해서는 신곡수중보 하류의 하구지역에 대하여 남북한 공동연구가 필요하다.
