  • 매립장에서의 쓰레기는 주변 지역에 지하수오염, 악취, 유독가스 발생 등 큰 문제를 일으키고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최근에 부산시에서 만 6년 동안 사용해 왔었던 석대 폐기물 매립장 주변의 지하수 오염실태를 파악하고, 그 오염을 최소화할 수 있는 방안 연구를 목표로 매립장 주변의 우물과 시추공 내의 지하수위, 수질, 대수층 특성 등을 조사하고, 또 주변 하천의 수질, 매립장 일대의 지하수 분포 및 유동 상태 등을 연구하였다. 그 결과 지하로 침투하는 순수 침출수량은 일 평균 약 520 m$^3$로 추정되며, 침출수에 의한 지하수 오염범위가 매립장 중심에서 약 1-1.5 km 정도 까지에 이른다. 오염물질도 중금속류를 비롯한 기타 유해 성분들이 다량 존재한다. 앞으로 이 일대의 지하수를 보전 및 관리하기 위해서는 매립장과 지하수오염물질이 확산되고 있는 곳에 감시정을 여러개 설치하여 지하수위와 수질을 주기적으로 조사하고, 채수정을 설치하여 오염된 지하수를 뽑아내어 침출수 처리장에서 처리한 후 하천에 방류하여야 한다. 아울러 지하수 오염물질이 확산되고 있는 매립장 주변 지역에 차수벽 설치가 요구된다.

  • 전라북도 서부해안지역(부안군)과 동부 산악지역(진안군, 장수군, 순창군)을 대상으로 328 지점의 농업용 지하수 수질특성을 비교 검토하였다. 조사항목은 지하수법에서 규정하고 있는 농업용수 관리항목인 일반오염물질 4개 항목과 특정유해물질 10개 항목이었다. 전라북도 서부 해안지역에서 일반오염물질의 일종인 염소이온이 기준치를 초과한 지점이 나타났으나, 모든 조사지점에서 농업용 지하수 수질기준을 충족하였다. 특정유해 물질은 거의 모든 조사지점에서 검출한계미만 또는 자연함유량 수준으로 검출되어 안전성이 확보되었다. 농업활동이 활발하고 논과 밭의 경지면적이 상대적으로 넓은 해안 인접 평야지가 중 산간지대 보다 농업용 지하수중 오염물질의 농도가 더 높게 나타나는 경향이었다.

  • Coastal lagoons play a crucial role in water exchange, water quality, and biodiversity. It is essential to monitor and understand the dynamics of hydrogeochemistry in lagoon water and its groundwater to preserve and sustainably manage the groundwater-dependent ecosystems like coastal lagoons. This study investigated the spatial and temporal hydrogeochemical characteristics of coastal lagoon (Songjiho) and groundwater on the east coast of Korea. The concentrations of major ions, water isotopes, and nutrients (nitrogen and dissolved organic carbon) in lagoon water and groundwater were periodically monitored for one year. The study revealed that major ions and total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration were higher at deeper depths of aquifers and closer to the coastal area. The hydrogeochemical characteristics of coastal lagoon and groundwater chemistry were classified into two types, Ca-Mg-HCO3 and Na-Cl, based on their spatial location from inland to coastal area. Moreover, the hydrogeochemical characteristics of coastal lagoons and groundwater varied significantly depending on the season. During the wet season, the increased precipitation and evaporation lead to changes in water chemistry. As a result, the total organic carbon (TOC) of coastal lagoons increases during this season, likely due to increased runoff by rainfall whereas the variation of chemical compositions in the lagoon and groundwater were not significant because there is reduced precipitation, resulting in stable water levels and during the dry season. The study emphasizes the impact of spatial distribution and seasonal changes in precipitation, evaporation, and river discharge on the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the coastal aquifer and lagoon system. Understanding these impacts is crucial for managing and protecting coastal lagoons and groundwater resources.

  • Groundwater contamination susceptibility studies have many advantages in groundwater monitoring, management and future planning. Several methods have been developed and applied to the groundwater regime through out the world. However, each and every method has some limitations. In this study, a detailed review was carried out about the already existing methods for groundwater contamination susceptibility studies. Additionally, a new parameter called mineral dissolution factor is recommended for groundwater contamination susceptibility studies. This parameter is applied for groundwate contamination susceptibility studies in Namwon area, Korea. The result of this approach suggests that mineral dissolution parameter could overcome the limitations as observed in the earlier methods.

  • Solution chemistry, sorbate chemistry, and sorbent chemistry were widely investigated to find important factors that affect PAH sorption on mineral surfaces and to elucidate its microscopic mechanism. The solution chemistry, pH and ionic strength caused measurable change of HOC sorption reaction to minerals. The detectable change of Ka occurred at a pH region crossing the PZC (Point of Zero Charge) of each mineral. The PAH hydrophobicity, one of sorbate chemistry, was observed to have a strong correlation with PAM sorption to mineral. Mineral surface area was not found to be a predominant factor controlling PAH sorption. The mineral type might be more likely to play a crucial role in controlling the PAH sorption behavior. The CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity) of mineral, representing surface charge density, has meaningful correlation with regression slope of sorption coefficients (log $K_{d}$) versus aqueous activity coefficients (log Υ$_{w}$).).).

  • To evaluate the main hydrogeochemical characteristics, river waters are investigated using element리 and isotopic compositions in South Korea. In this area, the chemical compositions are mostly classified into three groups; $Ca^{2+}-{HCO_3}^-$ type, $Ca^{2+}-Cl^{-}-{NO_3}^-$ type and $Ca^{2+}-{HCO_3}^{-}-Cl^{-}-{NO_3}^-$ type. These types are affected by two major factors: water-rock interaction and anthropogenic inputs such as sewage and fertilizers. Based on the values of ${\delta}^{18}O$ and ${\delta}D$, most of waters are originated from precipitation except two samples contaminated. The lithology and geography of basins mainly control the water chemistry. Elemental and isotopic compositions show that water chemistry are mainly controlled by three end members, especially by carbonate dissolution, and suggest that anthropogenic input affect the water chemistry. Also, three weathering sources are identified: silicates, dolomite and limestone.

  • Sustainability is commonly recognized as one of the new paradigms or norms that will reign the new era after the modern age of revolutionary economic development. This global trend calls for the adoption of the sustainability concept to soil and groundwater management. In fact, there are several such ongoing movements in practicing soil and groundwater management. Through literature review, this paper discusses the concept, practices, and future research needs of sustainable soil and groundwater management. We first discuss the definition of sustainable soil and groundwater management and possible methodologies to gauge or improve the sustainability of soil and groundwater management. Then, we introduce the research topics, exemplary practices, and propose solutions to elaborate sustainability in three representative subfields including soil and groundwater remediation, groundwater management, and soil management. We conclude with suggestions on the future research directions for successful adoption of sustainability concept to soil and groundwater management in the Republic of Korea.

  • Thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) was used to determine the concentration and isotope ratio of uranium contained in samples of soil and groundwater collected from Korea. Quantification of uranium in ground water samples was performed by isotope dilution mass spectrometry. A series of chemical treatment processes, including chemical separation using extraction chromatography, was applied to the soil samples to extract the uranium. No treatments other than filtration were applied to the groundwater samples. Isotopic analyses by TIMS showed that the isotope ratios of uranium in both the soil and water samples were indistinguishable from those of naturally abundant uranium. The concentration of uranium in the groundwater samples was within the U.S. acceptable standards for drinking water. These results demonstrate the utility of TIMS for monitoring uranium in environmental samples with high analytical reliability.
