Recently, significant contamination problems by residual chemicals have occasionally been occurred from major rivers and drinking water in Korea. Therefore, the management for use of them and risk assessment should be more strictly performed. In this study, we have analyzed trihalomethanes in treated water samples taken from water plants located in the region of four major rivers (i.e. Han river, Geum river, Youngsan river and Nakdong river) in Korea for eight years (1997～2004). From the data, we could assess the excess cancer risk by calculating the chronic daily intakes (CDI) multiplied by individual oral slope factors, Q₁＊, for the cancer suspected matters such as trihalomethanes, moreover the hazard index which is calculated by dividing the CDI by the acceptable daily reference dose (R/sub f/D) was determined for the risk assessment. As a result, in the case of 95 percentile excess cancer risk, it was shown that the excess cancer risk for dichlorobromomethane in the Nakdong river region is highest among the tested samples as 8.73 x 10/sup -6/. The 95 percentile total hazard index (the sum of individual hazard indices considering R/sub f/D), in addition, was below 1.0 for all samples, and therefore it was assessed that water samples taken from treatment plants of four major rivers are not harmful.

하천의 흐름해석 분야에서 모형이 요구하는 입력자료 중 하천단면은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 수치모형을 이용해서 자연하천의 2차원 흐름을 모의하고자 할 때 정확한 계산치를 얻기 위해서는 실제 하천단면의 하상을 정확하게 반영하여야 한다. 그러나 하천단면의 하상을 실제 상태의 모습 그대로 반영하는 것은 거의 불가능하다. 본 연구에서는 현재 실무에서 사용하는 하천측량 자료인 HEC단면과 ArcView를 연계하여 등간격 하도단면을 생성하고 유한요소망을 구축하는 방법을 제안하였다. 연구 대상지역은 한강 본류 구간과 낙동강 본류 구간을 선정하였고 등간격 하도단면 구축결과 실측 단면자료와 잘 일치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구에서 제안한 등간격 하도단면을 이용하면 2차원 흐름해석 및 수질해석을 위한 양질의 유한요소망을 구축하여 유한요소해석 등에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Greater focus must be placed on ensuring that the water quality model (WQM) reflects the objective of its application and the characteristics of the water environment properly before it is selected. In the development or application of WQM, various factors influencing the model predictions should be reviewed so that it can perform more properly and reasonably based on scientific theory. This study reviewed the characteristic of existing WQM and the domestic river environment to find the requirements of the model application for TMDLs management in Korea. In this study, a water quality model, QUAL-NIER, was developed based on the USEPA's QUAL2E. The core structure and reaction scheme of the model was established followed by the formulation of equations according to the scheme with some supplements on the reaction mechanisms which are necessary for domestic rivers. Algorithms on the equations were set up and programmed to form a computer-based model. The developed model, QUAL-NIER was applied to the main stem of the Nakdong river. The model was calibrated and verified to data measured in 2004. The model results displayed good agrement with the field measurements for both calibration and verification. From this study, it was concluded that the developed QUAL-NIER model was very powerful with regard to the water quality simulation in domestic rivers.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 대표적인 4대강 수계의 퇴적물을 대상으로 HCB와 DDTs 농도분포 특성에 대해 검토하였다. HCB 농도는 한강 0.41~3.80(평균 1.58) ng/g, 낙동강 0.08~6.09(평균 0.90) ng/g, 금강 0.02~0.97(평균 0.30) ng/g, 영산강 0.28~0.59(평균 0.42) ng/g, 섬진강 0.23~0.48(평균 0.32) ng/g 으로 검출되었다. DDTs 농도는 한강 0.67~14.20(평균 4.76) ng/g, 낙동강 N.D.~10.36(평균 1.81) ng/g, 금강 N.D.~7.26(평균 1.87) ng/g, 영산강 N.D.~3.12(평균 1.08) ng/g 및 섬진강에서 0.02~2.04(평균 0.56) ng/g으로 검출되었다. 우리나라 하천 퇴적물 중 HCB와 DDTs 농도는 다른 나라의 강이나 하구언 퇴적물 농도와 비교해도 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 퇴적물 시료에서 검출된 농도를 미국해양기상연구소가 제시한 퇴적물권고기준치와 비교한 결과 HCB의 농도는 모두 ERL 값에 크게 미치지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. DDTs의 경우 46개 시료에서 ERL(1.58 ng/g)을 초과하는 농도를 나타내어 현재 퇴적물 중 DDTs 농도가 저서생물에 위해한 영향을 줄 것으로 예상되는 수준은 아니나 지속적인 관찰이 요구되는 것으로 판단되었다.

The purposes of this study were to suggest the methodology to select prior areas in the environmental pollution survey for livestock excreta (EPSLE) as well as to elucidate the validity of the methodology. In this study, the prior areas in the EPSLE were determined by examining the number of compost facilities categorized according to the three levels of size including the basin, the sub-basin and the watershed, respectively, based on the data from "Annual Nation-wide Pollution Sources Survey (2012)". The results suggested that the list of prior basins were Nakdong, Geum, Youngsan and Han river basins in order. Also, it was examined that the prior sub-basins in the four river basins including Nakdong, Geum, Youngsan and Han rivers were Naesung Stream, Geumgang Gongju, Juam Dam and Namhan Downstream, respectively. The prior watersheds in the sub-basins of Naesung stream, Geumgang Gongju, Juam Dam and Namhan Downstream were Seocheon Downstream, Geum Stream, Gyeombaek Suwipyo and Yanghwa Stream, respectively. The validity of the methodology used in this study was elucidated by analyzing the correlation of the number of compost facilities with the concentrations of T-N and T-P observed in the end-points of sub-basins. The results of correlation analysis showed that the concentrations of T-N and T-P increased with the number of compost facilities. Specifically, there was the stronger correlation between the number of compost facilities and the concentrations of T-N than that for T-P. Consequently, it was proved that the methodology used in this work was valid and rational for the selection of prior areas in environmental pollution survey for EPSLE.

본 연구는 동해유입하천(강릉 연곡천, 양양 남대천), 한강수계(섬강, 속사천), 낙동강수계(길안천)에 서식하는 참갈겨니(Zacco koreanus) 개체군을 대상으로 채집된 110개체로부터 미토콘드리아 DNA COI 유전자(mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I)를 분자마커로 이용하여 계통지리학적 분석을 수행하고, 추가적으로 강릉 연곡천 상·중·하류 개체군을 대상으로 집단유전학적 분석을 수행하였다. 계통지리학 분석 결과, 동해유입하천과 한강수계의 참갈겨니 개체군은 동일한 단일계통을 나타내었고, 낙동강수계의 개체군은 상이한 계통으로 분기됨을 나타내었으며, 다른 수계 계통과의 유전적 거리 수치 범위가 평균 4.0%(3.7~4.2%)로서 동일종 이상 수준을 보여 잠재종 가능성을 시사하였다. 참갈겨니가 서식하는 수계에 따른 형태학적 차이는 연구된 바 있으나 DNA 염기서열의 변이를 이용한 분자유전학적 연구는 부족한 실정이므로 본 연구 결과는 향후 낙동강수계 참갈겨니 개체군의 계통분류학적 연구에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 추후 집단유전체학 및 생태학적 분석을 통하여 관찰된 낙동강수계 계통이 다른 종, 잠재종 혹은 단순히 큰 수준의 종내 변이를 나타내는지에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다. 강릉 연곡천 상·중·하류에 서식하는 개체군의 집단유전학 분석을 통해 중류의 개체군이 상대적으로 높은 다양성을 나타냈으며 상·중·하류 개체군 간의 유전적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 이는 상·중·하류 개체군 간 유전자 확산이 원활하게 이루어지고 있음을 의미하며 하천의 개체군 간 연결성을 판단할 수 있는 지표로 활용될 수 있다. 하지만 생태학적 시간 스케일의 연구에 더 적합한 분자마커를 이용한 추후 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Coastal sand dunes are dynamic and fragile buffer zones of sand and vegetation where the following three characteristics can be found: large quantities of sand, persistent wind capable of moving sand, and suitable locations for sand to accumulate. The functional properties of coastal sand dunes include the roles in sand storage, underground freshwater storage, coastal defense, and ecological environment space, among others. Recently, however, the integrity of coastal dune systems has been threatened by development, including sand extraction for the construction industry, military usage, conversion to golf courses, the building of seawalls and breakwaters, and recreational facility development. In this paper, we examined the development mechanisms and structural/format types of coastal sand dunes, as well as their functions and value from the perspective of coastal engineering based on reviews of previous researches and a case study of a small coastal sand dune in the Nakdong river estuary. Existing data indicate that there are a total of 133 coastal sand dunes in South Korea, 43 distributed on the East Sea coast (32 in the Gangwon area, and 11 in Gyeongsangbuk-do), 60 on the West Sea coast (4 in Incheon and Gyeonggi-do, 42 in Ghungcheongnam-do, 9 in Jellabuk-do, and 5 in Jellanam-do), and 30 on the South Sea coast (16 in Jellanam-do, 2 in Gyeongsangnam-do, and 12 in Jeju).

We examined the feeding habits of larval Konosirus punctatus using 165 specimens collected from May to August 2011 in the Nakdong River estuary, Korea. We found that larval K. punctatus [3.9-8.4 mm notochord length (NL)] are carnivorous, consuming mainly rotifers. Their diet also included small numbers of rhizopods, tintinnids, euglenoids, copepods, larval bivalves, dinoflagellates, diatoms, and unidentified materials. To evaluate ontogenetic changes in dietary composition, we split the larvae into three size groups: < 5 mm, 5-6 mm, and > 6 mm NL. The smallest size group frequently preyed on rhizopods. As NL increased, the number of rotifers increased relative to those of rhizopods. Larvae also showed bimodal feeding for feeding incidence, with peaks in the midafternoon and at midnight, while the mean number of prey per individual peaked at 18:00-19:00 h.

Small hydropower resources for five major river systems have been studied. The model, which can predict flow duration characteristic of stream, was developed to analyze the variation of inflow caused from rainfall condition. And another model to predict hydrologic performance for small hydropower(SHP) plants is established. Monthly inflow data measured at Andong dam were analyzed. The predicted results from the developed models in this study showed that the data were in good agreement with measured results of long term inflow at Andong dam. It was found that the models developed in this study can be used to predict the available potential and technical potential of SHP sites effectively. Based on the models developed in this study, the hydrologic performance for small hydropower sites located in river systems have been analyzed. The results show that the hydrologic performance characteristics of SHP sites have some difference between the river systems. Especially, the specific design flowrate and specific output of SHP sites located on North Han river and Nakdong river systems have large difference compared with other river systems.
