The construction of river mouth dam has prevented seawater from backwarding to upstream in Kum river estuary since 1990. Field observation on environmental factors, and zooplankton and phytoplankton dynamics have been carried out three times with two month interval in the summer and autumn in 2000 at three selected stations in Kum river estuary. Blockade of seawater flowing backward to upstream caused sharp contrast of zooplankton fauna and phytoplankton flora between upstream and downstream of the river mouth dam. Freshwater cladocerans i.e., Bosmina longisrostris and Daphnia galeata dominated in the upstream, and marine copepods of Acartia omorii and Paracalanus crassirostris occurred abundantly in downstream of the dam. Freshwater diatoms did not distributed in the downstream of the dam except Melosira varians, while marine diatom of Cylidrotheca closterium occurred in benthic waters bath in upstream and downstream of the dam. The construction of the river mouth dam seems to play an ecological role to blockade the input of marine organism into the upstream in Kum river estuary.

본 연구는 한강 하구 신곡수중보에서 공릉천 합류점까지를 대상으로 선박 통행 가능성을 분석하였다. 최근 측량자료와 수위 자료를 이용하여 분석한 결과 한강 하구부에서 250 - 400 ton급 선박의 운행 가능일수는 연간 119일에 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났으며 400 - 1,500 ton급 선박의 경우 연간 47일 정도만 운행 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 이 구간에서는 대규모 홍수가 없는 상황에도 강한 조석에 의해 하상이 지속적으로 크게 변화하는 것으로 나타나 안정적인 수로 확보에 한계가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 안정적인 선박 통행을 위해서는 수로 확보 가능성과 안정성에 대한 지속적인 조사와 분석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Species composition and abundance of fish larvae were studied from May 1988 through August 1989 in the Han River Estuary and adjacent Kyunggi Bay, Korea. Of 23 taxa identified, Coilia nasus, llisha elongata, and Cyprinidae spp. were dominated. Maximum density (3,5771/1,000m)$^3$ occurred in August 1988 and minimum (3/1,m$^3$) in February 1989. O1igo- ormesohaline species dominated during ebb tides while polyhaline species during flood tides. Correspondence analysis revealed that three distinctive species groups; oligohaline species, Coilia nasus, Ilisha elongata and Cyprinidae spp., which dominated at both channels of Kwanghwa Island (stations 1, 2), mesohaline species, Sardinella zunasi and Gobiidae spp., at the mouth of Yeomha Channel (station 3), and polyhaline species, Engraulis japonicus and Syngnathus schlegeli, in the middle of Kyunggi Bay (station 4). Coilia nasus was the most abundant species and reported first time in the study area. Given the species composition and density of fish larvae, the Han River Estuary is considered to be a major spawning and nursery ground for brackish water species such as Coilia nasus, Ilisha elongata and some Cyprinidae spp.

Temporal (seasonal) and spatial distributions and variations of various physico-chemical factors (salinity, temperature, pH, DO, COD, SPM, POC, silicate, DIP, DIN) in surface and bottom waters were studied in the coastal environment with typical macro-tidal range and monsoonal weather condition, Gyeonggi Bay, west coast of Korea. Spacial distribution patterns of these factors were generally similar to each other, and appeared to be inversely related to the distribution pattern of salinity, suggesting that water quality of the study area was primarily controlled by the physical mixing process of Han-River freshwater with nearby coastal seawater. During flooding season, silicate- and nitrogen-rich Han River water directly flowed into offshore as far as $20\sim30\;km$ from the river mouth, probably causing serious environmental problems such as eutrophication and unusual and/or noxious algal bloom, etc. Except the surface water during summer flooding season, high concentrations of nutrients appeared generally in dry season, whereas low values in spring, possibly because of the occurrence of spring phytoplankton bloom. On the other hand, nutrient flux through the estuary seems to be primarily depending on river discharge, sewage discharge and agricultural activities, especially during the rainy season. Also, nutrients in this coastal waters are considered to be supplied from the sediments of tidal-flats, which developed extensively around the Han-River mouth, especially during fall and winter of dry and low discharge seasons, possibly due to the stirring of tidal flat sediments with highly enriched pore-water nutrients by storm. And also, COD and DIN concentrations in the study area consistently increased during the last 20 years, probably because of agricultural activities and increasing discharge of industrial and domestic wastes.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the applicability of the two dimensional model in natural rivers. In this study, two dimensional unite element model, SMS, is used to simulate a complex flow along with the sediment movements in the natural river. The RMA-2 model embeded in SMS is used to simulate flow phenomena and SED-2D model is employed to simulate sediment transport. The model is applied to the confluence zone of the Gam River and mouth of Nakdong River. For model calibration, the result of the unsteady flow analysis is compared with the Typhoon 'Rusa' data. In addition, the runoff analysis was conducted for the determination of the project flood and the flood forecasting. The simulation results presented the characteristics of two dimensional flow with velocity vector and flow depth. The sediment transport characteristics are shown in terms of sediment concentration as well as bed elevation change. Accordingly, the SMS model in this study turned out to be very effective tool for the simulation of the hydrodynamic characteristics under the various flow conditions and corresponding sediment transports in natural rivers.

This study modified the properties and boundaries of the inland wetland types through the structural edit of the National Wetland DB, and analyzed the characteristics of the different land cover by area and the entire inland wetlands of South Korea. The inland wetlands of the Gangwon Basin had a small area of waters. In addition, the ratio of natural barren was high, reflecting the characteristics of the upper reaches of the large river in the east and west part of Gangwon Province. The Geum River Basin had a high percentage of aggregate land due to the development of large alluvial land, and the ratio of artistic barren was low, so various ecosystem service of wetland elements were distributed evenly. The Nakdong River Basin had a high proportion of waters as water level in the channel rose due to the installation of 4 Major Rivers Beam, and the ratio of Natural barren was low. Moreover, the water level of the main attributes flowing into the Nakdong River drainage system was not high, so the ratio of vegetation concentration was high. The Yeongsan River Basin showed that Waters had the high proportion. And the distribution of Natural barrens represented differently according to the Yeongsan River Basin and the Seomjin River Basin. Finally, Sand and Gravels supplied to rivers during precipitation were deposited in the main stream of the Han River Basin, and the differences between the side and high side was large in the area, reflecting the characteristics of the mouth of a river, so the Natural barren of Clay was distributed.

본 연구는 하천유지유량의 개념을 정립하여 기존의 하천유지유량 개념의 모호성 및 산정방법의 차이에서 오는 문제점을 방지하기 위한 것이다. 평균갈수량은 하천의 건천화 방지 등의 기능을 유지하기 위하여 하류에 흐르도록 보장해 주어야 할 유량으로 규정하였으며 환경보존유량은 하천환경의 적절한 보존을 위하여 주운, 염해 방지, 하천관리시설의 보호, 수질보전, 어업, 하구폐쇄의 방지, 지하수위의 유지, 동식물의 보호, 경관등에 필요한 유량으로 규정하였다. 이를 위하여 한강의 인도교 지점을 선정하여 유황분석을 실시하였으며 각 지점에 대하여 자연상태하의 평균갈수량을 산정하였다. 위에서 언급한 하천환경보존에 관련된 9가지 기능을 종합적으로 고려한 결과, 현재로서는 수질보전이 환경보존유량의 가장 중요한 기능으로 파악되었으며 유역에서 발생되는 오염부하량과 하천에 유입되는 오염부하량을 산정하고 이에 따른 주요 지점의 장래수질을 예측하였다. 또한 예측된 장래수질과 환경기준을 비교하여 인도교 지점의 적정회석유량을 산정하였다. 산정된 평균갈수량과 환경보존유량은 비소비성 유량이므로, 이 두 유량에서 큰 것을 택한 유량, 즉 Max. (평균갈수량, 환경보존 유량)을 하천유지유량으로 산정 제시하였다. 이 유량에 하류의 유수점용을 위하여 필요한 양, 즉 소비성 유량인이 수유량을 더하면 하천관리의 기준이 되는 하천관리유량을 설정할 수 있다. 본 연구결과는 한강뿐만 아니라 그 외의 주요 하천에 대해 체계적인 하천 관리를 수행하는데 기본 자료로서 크게 이바지 할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구는 E-screen assay를 이용해서 광양만 연안해역 퇴적물의 에스트로겐 활성분포를 정량적으로 평가하고 화학분석 결과와 비교 검토하고자 하였다. 가장 높은 에스트로겐 활성을 보인 지점은 산업단지와 섬진강 유입구에 인접한 G6, G8 이었다. E-screen assay로 얻어진 이러한 결과는 다성분 동시분석 결과와도 일치하였다. 특히 GY6, GY8 지점의 RPE는 90% 이상으로 강한 에스트로겐 작용을 나타내어 full agonist 지점으로 확인되었다. 또한 이들 지점은 EEQ가 각각 35.6 ng/g, 14.6 ng/g로 타 지점에 비해 낮아 에스트로겐 활성 효능이 상대적으로 높을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 결과로부터, 산업단지와 섬진강 유역에 인접한 지점들을 광양만 연안 해역의 내분비계 교란 물질의 유입원으로 추정할 수 있다. 한편, 에스트로겐 활성도와 화학오염물질과의 비교결과는 상관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다.

The development of the egg, larvae, and juveniles of Acheilognathus macropterus from the Wicheon stream of Nakdonggang River was investigated for early life history characteristics. The fish used in the study were collected from Wicheon stream located in Bian-myeon, Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do. The fertilized egg was 1.88±0.09 mm (n=30) in long diameter and 1.34±0.06 mm (n=30) in short diameter. After fertilization at a water temperature of 20℃, the egg took 31 h and 40 min to hatch. Newly hatched larvae had an average total length of 3.92±0.13 mm (n=30) and possessed a yolk sac the mouth and anus were not developed. Twenty days after hatching, the postflexion larvae had an average total length of 8.08±0.29 mm (n=30), with the tail tip fully bent at 45° and began feeding. Thirty-three days after hatching, the number of fin stems reached an integer with an average total length of 15.0±1.08 mm (n=30). In this study, differences in the egg size, hatching time, melanophore development period, and distribution location were confirmed between A. macropterus and allied species.

Forty sediment samples from Kyeonggi Bay, Korea were analyzed for butyltins, including tributyltin (TBT), dibutyltin (DBT), and monobutyltin (MBT) to determine their distribution and source in this area. Total butyltin concentrations in Kyeonggi Bay sediments ranged from 0.8 to 297 ng/g dry wt. with a mean value of 38 ng/g. The highest butyltin concentration was found in the innermost site in Incheon Harbor basin. The mouth of Han River had higher butyltin levels in sediments compared to open ocean. Butyltin levels correlated well with organic carbon content of sediment, but the major factor was the distance from the source area where antifouling paints were used for vessels and marine structures. Butyltin concentrations in the study area were lower than those reported for bays in other parts of the world. Considering the high toxic potential and sediment/water partition coefficient of TBT, further studies are needed to assess its biological effect in the marine ecosystem of Kyeonggi Bay.
