This study was carried out to investigate flora of Golji stream watershed in Gangwon province. The vascular plants which were collected in 11 times (from May 2012 to Nov. 2013) were identified as 825 taxa in total, including 124 families, 420 genera, 730 species, 8 subspecies, 78 varieties, 6 forms and 3 hybrids. In the flora of this area, Korean endemic species were 34 taxa, red list of vascular plants according to IUCN valuation basis were 34 taxa and 165 taxa of specially designated floristic regional indicator plants by the Ministry of Environment. Among those species investigated in this survey, 101 taxa were identified as specific species bio-geographically as compared to flora of other terrestrial regions; 37 of calcicolous plants, 64 with distribution in the northern part of the Korean peninsula. 34 aquatic taxa and 69 naturalized plants were recorded in the investigated area.

There are fifteen non-point pollution management areas in Korea and three of them (Doam lake, Daegi district and Golji-cheon) are located in the upstream of the Namhan river watershed. Many efforts to reduce non-point sources (NPS) pollution have been conducted, however, water quality pollution in the watershed is still serious. To solve these problems, it is a priority to grasp water quality using statistical techniques. In this study, a trend analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of NPS management in the watershed. The long-term trends from 1996 to 2018 of water quality properties were analyzed using data collected from the water environment information system. Seventeen monitoring stations were selected along the main stream in Namhan river basin. Monthly water quality properties (BOD, COD, TN, TP, TN/TP ratio, Conductivity, SS and Chlorophyll-a) were collected and analyzed by Mann-Kendall test and LOWESS. The results showed that the Conductivity tended to increase in all regions and was the highest level in Jijangcheon. Organic pollution such as BOD and COD tended to increase in the Jungseon area. SS did not show a large tendency, but it showed high concentration in the Doam watershed. In all regions, 40% of water quality properties showed a tendency to 'UP', 15% of water quality properties tended to 'DOWN', and 46% indicated no tendency. In order to determine the cause of this, additional research and measures for improvement are necessary. This study will be used for the establishment of water quality policy in the future.

We investigated the flow properties of groundwater in areas of carbonate rocks at Yeongwol and Jeongseon, Gangwon Province, based on measurements of hydraulic conductivity. Existing hydraulic conductivity data were compiled from 46 wells in the study area. These wells were sunk close to Golji stream and the Joyang and Dong rivers, which flow through the study area. The hydraulic conductivities range from 0.004 to 1.1 m/day, and show a gradually decreasing trend with decreasing well depth (y=-0.003x - 0.927, $r^2$=0.129). The study area was classified into zone A (< 0.1 m/day), zone B (0.1-1.0 m/day), and zone C (> 1 m/day) according to hydraulic conductivity. Zones A, B, and C make up 87% (n = 40), 11 % (n = 5), and 2% (n = 2) of the surface of the study area, respectively. Among the three zones, zone A contains few fractures whereas zone C contains many fractures. These results indicate that groundwater flow in carbonate regions is strongly influenced by the fracture network.
