The Korean Water Quality Index (K-WQI) was applied to the rivers located in the watershed of Daecheong Lake to assess the status of river water quality, and propose potential target constituents for better water quality management in the watershed. The estimated K-WQI value for each river was varied from 70 to 90, and Youngdongcheon showed the worst score while Mujunamdeachen showed the best score. The total nitrogen (TN) and total coliform bacteria were identified as the most significant constituents that degrade the K-WQI values in the rivers. The correlation coefficients (r) were determined between K-WQI and the delivered specific load ($kg/km^2/yr$) of BOD, TN, and TP to justify potential target constituents that have a great influence on the improvement of K-WQI values. The results showed that TN (r=-0.86) and TP (r=-0.85) have a strong negative relationships with K-WQI, but BOD have almost no effect. This implies that BOD, the surrogate parameter for organic pollutants, is no more a feasible water quality variable for the water quality management in the study site.

Water quality modelling is an ideal tool of simulating physical, chemical and biological changes occurring in water systems. It has been utilized in a number of GIS-based water quality management and analysis applications. However, there is a need of a decision making process to translate the modelling result into an understandable form thereby implement the modelling results to the real world. This paper outlines a new water quality index called the QUAL2E's water quality index (QWQI) based on the water quality modelling using QUAL2E. The development mainly includes four steps: variable selection, sub-index development, weight assignment and sub-index aggregation. An experiment of applying the index and GIS to the Sapgyo River in Korea was implemented. Different from other water quality indices for general water uses, the index is specifically used for the simulated water quality indicators. The index can provide a simple and easy-to-understand decision support. Furthermore, interfacing with GIS, the decision analysis can be performed within a spatial environment. However, more study needs to be made in the future including the improvement of aggregation function.

This study aims to estimate the value of environmental services that could be generated by seawater flowing in the Geumgang Estuary by using meta-regression for benefit transfer. The environmental services that can be generated by seawater flowing are assumed to be improved water quality, increased biodiversity, and enhanced water-friendly effect. The analysis was conducted using 122 data from 28 studies from EVIS. The results show that households in the neighborhood where seawater is distributed are willing to pay about KRW 46,918, KRW 7,752, and KRW 7,859 per year for improved water quality, increased biodiversity, and enhanced water-friendly, respectively. The WTP of the national households other than neighboring households was found to be KRW 19,401, KRW 3,206, and KRW 3,250 for the three environmental services, respectively. The WTP for water quality improvement is higher than that for biodiversity increase and water-friendly effect increase, which may be due to the fact that water quality improvement is an environmental service that is close to the use value. In addition, neighboring households have a higher WTP than national households because neighboring households are more likely to evaluate the benefits of seawater flowing as a use value, while national households are more likely to evaluate it as a non-use value.

Man-made reservoirs over 95% in Korea are shallower than 10 meters in depth, which is apt to cause eutrophication. This study has characterized long-term trends in water quality factors for the selected six reservoir points in the Kum River watersheds, and then estimated the seasonal trophic state index for each reservoir. The reservoir trophic state was evaluated at four trophic levels using the Korean trophic state index, TSIKO. It is observed from seasonal results for six reservoirs that the highest value of the trophic state index is estimated in summer while the trophic state index value is low in spring and winter seasons. Especially, the Boryeong Lake has a relatively lower trophic state index since this reservoir has been managed properly for water withdrawal and irrigation. It is expected that the seasonal trophic state index resulted from this study can contribute toward long-term water quality improvement plans for reservoirs.

A vegetation purification system was applied to improve water quality of Masan Reservoir in Korea, which was composed of constructed wetlands in series. Five different kinds of macrophytes were planted in each wetland. The system was operated with the condition of low concentrations and high hydraulic loadings. Removal efficiencies(%) of chemical oxygen demand(COD) , total nitrogen(T-N) and total phosphorus(T-P) in this system were 9.0, 12.8, 20.1% , respectively. and removal rates(g/$m^2$/d) were 1.9(COD), 0.34(T-N) and 0.05(T-P) . Comparing this system with other wetlands operated at low hydraulic loadings, average removal efficiencies were low but removal rates were relatively high. Accordingly, this system could be applied to imporve reservoir water quality, because removal rates are more important than removal efficiencies in case of reservoir water quality improvement . However, the removal efficiencies and rates of this system are less than those of the hydroponic biofilter method which is a kind of a constructed wetland and utilize root zones of emergent macrophytes for trapping pollutants. Therefore, it is recommended that this system should be modified to utilize root zones of emergent macrophytes enough to improve reservoir water quality more efficiently.

도시하천은 급속한 경제성장과 개발 등 여건변화로 본연의 모습과 가치를 잃고 인공적인 모습으로 변해왔다. 이로 인해 도시민의 삶의 질과 만족도 또한 하락되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 부산의 대표적 도시하천인 수영강을 대상으로 도시하천 수질 개선을 위한 도시민의 지불의사액을 추정하였다. 비시장가치 추정을 위해 조건부가치측정법(Contingent Valuation Method, CVM)을 적용하여 수질개선을 위한 지불의사액(Willingness To Pay, WTP)를 파악하고 경제적 가치를 추정하였다. 가상시나리오는 EPA, 수질사다리(waterquality ladder)의 개념을 이용하여 현재 수영강 수질이 오염된 물(4등급)이라고 가상시장을 설정하고 낚시가 가능한 수준(2등급)까지 개선을 시키고자 할 때의 지불의사를 조사하였다. 이때 지불수단은 기부금의 형태로 지불기간은 연 1회 향후 5년간으로 설정하였다. WTP는 한국개발연구원(Korea Development Institute, KDI)에서 제시하고 있는 로지스틱 분포와 스파이크 모형을 사용하여 추정하였다. 지불의사 추정결과 수영강 인접 지역주민의 지불의사가 상대적으로 높게 추정되었다. 또한 부산시민의 절반 이상(56.5%)이 '자연 및 생태보전'을 수영강의 주요 기능으로 인지하고 있음을 고려할 때, 하천환경개선을 위한 지불의사의 상승은 도시하천의 가치 향상을 위한 정책적 의사결정 기준으로 작용할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 도시민의 삶의 질 향상 기대수준 충족과 더불어 도시하천 경제적 가치상승을 위한 재원 조달 방안을 마련할 수 있을 것이다.

Nihonbashi River takes more time to discharge water pollution because it runs low-lying areas and is easy to affect tidal flow from downstream. After rainfall, the water environment of the river has become worse. Even though the river is located in the important metropolitan area in Tokyo, it dose not have any connection with people's lives. We took Nihonbashi River as an example to consider methods for river restoration of improving water quality and river environment in densely inhabited urban areas. Especially, the major issue of river restoration is how smoothly and quickly discharges water pollution which flows into with river flow. The conclusion of this project is the effectiveness of improvement of water environment to construct of rock gates in Nihonbashi River and Kanda River to control inflows from upstream and tidal flows from downstream.

The goal of water quality management on stream and watershed is to focus not on discharged loads management but on a water quality management. Discharged loads management is not goal of water quality management but way for perform with total maximum daily loads management. It is necessary to estimate the relation between non-point source with stromwater runoff (NPSSR) and water quality to select a watershed where it is required to manage NPSSR for water quality improvement. To evaluate the effects of NPSSR on stream's water quality, we compare the aspects of water quality in dry and wet seasons using flow duration curve analysis based on flow rate variation data by actual surveying. In this study we attempt to quantify the variation characteristic of water quality and estimate the Inflow characteristic of pollution source with water quality and flow rate monitoring on 10 watersheds. We try to estimate water quality and flow rate by regression analysis and try again regression analysis with each high and low water quality data more than estimations. An analysis of relation between water quality and flow rate of 10 watersheds shows that the water quality of the Nonsan and the Ganggyeong streams had been polluted by NPSSR pollutants. Other eight streams were important point source more than NPSSR. It is wide variation range of $BOD_5$ also high average concentration of $BOD_5$. We have to quantify water quality variation by cv1 in wet season and cv365 in dry season with comparing the estimate of high water quality and low water quality. This method can be used to indicator for water quality variation according to flow rate.
