지하수는 한번 오염되면 원상복구가 어렵고 피해가 장기적으로 나타날 수 있으므로 그 관리가 아주 중요하다. 지하수 오염관리를 위해서는 오염 현황파악과 공간적 확산예측이 필수적이며, 이를 위해서는 GIS를 이용한 체계적인 분석이 필요하다. 따라서 지하수의 과학적 관리를 위해서는 다양한 지하수 자료들의 체계적인 데이터베이스구축이 필수적이며, 이를 기반으로 지하수관리정보시스템에서 오염현황이 분석된후 지하수업무와 직접 연계, 활용되어야 한다. 금번연구는 이러한 배경속에서 서울시 지하수관리를 위해 구축된 지하수관리 통합시스템의 전문분석 서브시스템을 이용하여 중구 일부지역을 대상으로 질산성질소(NO3N)의 오염확산을 분석한후 축척 1/5,000 오염확산예측도가 작성되었다. ´96년 서울시에서는 기초조사시 1/25,000 수문지질도를 작성하였으나 이 자료로는 지역적 지하수 오염관리가 어려우며, 금번연구를 통하여 작성된 대축적 분석도면들의 활용이 기대된다. 본 연구를 위해서 사용된 GIS시스템은 Arc/Infor, Are/View이며, 지하수분석을 위해서는 MODFLOW, MT3D가 이용되었다.

Environmental pollution is continuously increasing with the economic growth and industrial development. With this trend, soil and groundwater pollution problem has been surfaced as important social issues. Recently, Korean government promulgated the Soil Environment Conservation Act. But there are many problems to control sound soil quality management. Anthropogenic source of pollution such as waste landfill, pesticides, fertilizer, underground storage oil tanks is important as well as natural source such as acid rain and forest fire. The regulation should be expanded to include groundwater preservation as well as soil quality, because soil pollution is closely related to groundwater pollution. Therefore, legal regulations must be expanded to these facilities and take into account technical feasibility and finance.

Romania aims to adopt and implement the European Union's legislation, also including that for the field of water management. Like other countries, groundwater in Romania is locally polluted from point sources, such as leaking landfills, as well as from diffuse pollution sources, include fertilizers, pesticides and leakages from sewers, in urbanized areas. Diffuse pollution can also occur indirectly, by over-exploitation of groundwater wells, resulting in salt water intrusion, as well as from mining and exploitation of mineral aggregates. Romania has quite an intensive monitoring scheme to measure groundwater quality in phreatic and confined aquifers. The purpose of the work resumed in this paper was to derive natural background levels (NBL) for groundwater in order to distinguish the natural elevated concentrations of some substances (natural phenomena) from point and diffuse pollution (anthropogenic phenomena). Based on these NBLs, threshold values (TV) for groundwater will be set according to the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive and the related Groundwater Directive. This paper describes the results of a study for the derivation of NBL and TV in a pilot Groundwater Body. Also, the process and draft results for extrapolating this work for all Romanian groundwater bodies is explained, as well as points for future consideration with respect to monitoring and management.

Seoul subway system has been constructed to solve traffic difficulties of Seoul metropolitan, and now is the major public transportation. However, the more line has added in the system the deeper the bottom of the tunnel base. And a huge amount of groundwater along the line has seeping into the tunnel. Several subway stations has pumping system to extract the groundwater to the outside and consequently, groundwater table along the line has declined gradually. Groundwater table has dropped about 40 meters at some areas, There was some study for the proper usage of the abstracted groundwater and the project to use the groundwater has launched already by the local government. However. more serious problem is expected on quality degradation of soil and groundwater as the decline of groundwater table along the subway line. This study suggests that the detailed groundwater environmental study should be made as soon as possible for this. If there is any pollution leaking at the surface area of the groundwater depression, the pollution will be seep into the subway tunnel in some day even though the time will be different with the soil material and hydraulic characteristics of the aquifer. And the polluted area of the soil and groundwater would be enlarged along the pathway The study on possibility of the soil subsidence and reducing surface water flow in small creek were also needed. This study suggest one of the counter measurement that restoring the declined groundwater table after groundwater environmental study

Shallow groundwater in rural areas is primarily polluted by agricultural activities. Nitrate-nitrogen is an indicator of artificial pollution. In this study, the hydrochemical characteristics and nitrate-nitrogen pollution of shallow groundwater were examined in two agricultural villages (Hyogyo-ri and Sinan-ri) in Chungcheongnam-do Province, Korea. Physicochemical quality analysis of shallow groundwater and stream water in the field, and chemical analysis in the laboratory were conducted from July 2020 to October 2021. In Hygyo-ri and Sinan-ri villages, shallow groundwater mainly belonged to the Ca-Cl, Ca-H CO₃, Na-HCO₃, and Na-Cl types, whereas stream water predominantly belonged to the Ca-HCO₃ type. The nitrate-nitrogen concentration in shallow groundwater varied depending on the season, displaying an increased concentration of nitrate-nitrogen in the dry season compared to the rainy season. Stream water may be influenced by runoff into villages from the surrounding area, although both shallow groundwater and stream water are affected by artificial pollution. In addition, the nitrate-nitrogen concentration in stream water was lower than that in shallow groundwater.

On the basis of sustainable long-term water resources planning, the development of ground water resources should be interlocked with the surface water development In considering the intertemporal equity, overpumping of groundwater may diminish or eliminate the groundwater resources stock of post-generations. Regulatory landuse zoning for groundwater resources recharge area is indispensable measures to prevent groundwater pollution. Adequate treatment of polluted water from various sources such as municipal sewage, industrial wastewater, landfill site leachate, and abandoned boring wells, is also necessary for groundwater protection. To preserve groundwater resources as common property goods, groundwater use tax should be imposed upon the large scale groundwater use. Finally, the establishment of groundwater development license system is recommended to achieve the social optimal production and to avoid external diseconomy.

Korea Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network is a database of annual groundwater quality survey results to prevent groundwater pollution. We estimated contamination index (CI) values for each type of land use, and analyzed temporal trends of pollutant concentration data in the Groundwater Quality Monitoring Network from 2001 to 2009. Among the pollutants considered in the database, the concentrations of nitrate and chloride were higher than their standards. In the case of nitrate, recreation parks, golf courses and general waste dumping regions showed increasing trends according to linear regression analysis, whereas industrial complexes and residential regions of urgan and recreation parks showed increasing trends in the chloride concentration data. According to multiple variable linear regression analysis, EC, pH and topography were major factors influencing CI values. These results suggest that groundwater with a high CI value and increasing trend is vulnerable for potential contamination, which requires more careful groundwater pollution control.

Benzene, Ethyl-benzene, Toluene and Xylene (BTEX) can be released to a groundwater in case of the oil leakage from underground storage tank of a gas station. These chemicals are found to contribute to the total inhalation risk from contaminated indoor air. This study presents the assessment of a human exposure to such chemicals released from the groundwater into indoor air. At first, a 2-compartment model is developed to describe the transfer and distribution of the chemicals released from groundwater in a house through showering, washing clothes, and flushing toilets. The model is used to estimate a daily human exposure through inhalation of such BTEX for adults based on two sets of exposure scenarios. Finally, a sensitivity analysis is used to identify important parameters. The results obtained from the study would help to increase the understanding of risk assessment issues associated with the indoor pollution by BTEX released from contaminated groundwater.
