The Doam lake watershed was designated as a non-point pollution management area in 2007 to improve water quality based on watershed management implementation. There have been studies of non-point source reduction with respect to the watershed management impacting the pollutant transport of the reservoir. However, a little attention has been focused on the impact of water quality improvement by the management of the dam operation or the guidelines on the dam operation. In this study, the impact of in-lake management practices combined with watershed management is analyzed, and the appropriate guidelines on the operation of the dam are suggested. The integrated modeling system by coupling with the watershed model (HSPF) and reservoir water quality model (CE-QUAL-W2) was applied for analyzing the impact of water quality management practices. A scenario implemented with sedimentation basin and suspended matter barrier showed decrease in SS concentration up to 4.6%. The SS concentration increased in the scenarios adjusting withdrawal location from EL.673 m to the upper direction(EL.683 m and EL.688 m). The water quality was comparably high when the scenario implemented all in-lake practices with water intake at EL.673 m. However, there was improvement in water quality when the height of the water intake was moved to EL.688 m during the summer by preventing sediments inflow after the rainfall. Therefore, to manage water quality of the Doam lake, it is essential to control the water quality by modulating the height of water intake through consistent turbidity monitoring during rainfall.

Throughout much of the world, many ecological problems have arisen in watersheds where a significant portion of stream flows are diverted to support agriculture production. Within endorheic watersheds (watersheds whose terminus is a terminal lake) these problems are magnified due to the cumulative effect that reduced stream flows have on the condition of the lake at the stream's terminus. Within an endorheic watershed, any diversion of stream flows will cause an imbalance in the terminal lake's water balance, causing the lake to transition to a new equilibrium level that has a smaller volume and surface area. However, the total mass of Total Dissolved Solids within the lake will continue to grow; resulting in a significant increase in the lake's TDS concentration over time. The ecological consequences of increased TDS concentrations can be as limited as the intermittent disruption of productive fisheries, or as drastic as a complete collapse of a lake's ecosystem. A watershed where increasing TDS concentrations have reached critical levels is the Walker Lake watershed, located on the eastern slope of the central Sierra Nevada range in Nevada, USA. The watershed has an area of 10,400 sq. km, with average annual headwater flows and stream flow diversions of 376 million $m^3/yr$ and 370 million $m^3/yr$, respectively. These diversions have resulted in the volume of Walker Lake decreasing from 11.1 billion m3 in 1882 to less than 2.0 billion $m^3$ at the present time. The resulting rise in TDS concentration has been from 2,560 mg/l in 1882 to nearly 15,000 mg/l at the current time. Changes in water management practices over the last century, as well as climate change, have contributed to this problem in varying degrees. These changes include the construction of reservoirs in the 1920s, the pumpage of shallow groundwater for irrigation in the 1960s and the implementation of high efficiency agricultural practices in the 1980s. This paper will examine the impacts that each of these actions, along with changes in the region's climate, has had on stream flow in the Walker River, and ultimately the TDS concentration in Walker Lake.

Waterlogging and unintended lake formation become the main problem in some parts of the world. Starting from 1989, the waterlogging problem was observed in the farmland of the Jarso community of Konso Woreda adjacent to the Segen River in Ethiopia. Therefore, the objectives are determining the extent and causes of unintended lake formation using GIS/RS in addition to a preliminary field survey to mitigate the problem. The analysis of satellite images revealed that over the years invasion of the irrigable land by unwanted water had increased, as, in 1989, the size of the wetland area was about 8 Km²; in 2000 the size of the un-intended lake was only 8.23 ㎢. Alarmingly the size of the lake increased to 19.68 Km² in 2014. Silting up of Weir and changing the flow of River Segen and Human Intervention and changing the natural flow of River Yanda were the main causes of this unwanted prolonged water-logging. The ecological and social environment has been degrading as the people of the waterlogged area have been experiencing some settlement and losing their land. Another problem encountered was flooding from River Barka and invasion of the farmland. Sediment control best management practices (BMPs) i.e, Removal of sediment, providing sandbags and well-scheduled maintenance; Changing the junction point of Yanda and Segen River were suggested for the long-term and short term possible remedial measures. Gabion retaining wall on the bank of the Segen River to the face of Barka River was suggested to protect the farmland from flooding.

Background: Characterizing and describing soils and land use and make a suggestion for sustainable utilization of land resources in the Ethiopian Rift valley flat plain areas of Lake Chamo Sub-Basin (CSB) are essential. Objectives: To (1) characterize soils of experimental area according to World Reference Base Legend and assess the nature and extent of salinity problems; (2) characterize land use systems and their role in soil properties; and (3) identify best land use practices used for both environmental management and improve agricultural productivity. Methods: Twelve randomly collected soil samples were prepared from the above land uses into 120 composites and analyzed. Results: Organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN) were varied along different land uses and depleted from the surface soils. The soil units include Chernozems (41.67%), Kastanozems (25%), Solonchaks (16.67%), and Cambisols (16.67%). The identified land uses are annual crops (AA), perennial crops (PA), and natural forest (NF). Generally, organic carbon, total nitrogen, percentage base saturation (PBS), exchangeable (potassium, calcium, and magnesium), available phosphorus (P₂O₅), manganese, copper, and iron contents were decreased in cultivated soils. Soil salinity problem was observed in annuals. Annuals have less nutrient content compared to perennials in irrigated agriculture while it is greater in annuals under rainfed. Clay, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium (K₂O) contents were correlated positively and highly significantly with organic carbon and electrical conductivity. Conclusion: Management practices that improve soil quality should be integrated with leguminous crops when the land is used for annual crops production.

본 연구에서는 시화호로 유입되는 다양한 비점오염원 중 도심유역을 흐르는 안산천 및 화정천과 산업지역인 반월산단 토구를 통한 강우유출수 내 총부유물질, 화학적산소요구량, 용존영양염, 총인 및 총질소 등의 비점오염물질의 유출특성 및 총유출부하량을 조사하였다. 조사지역 및 조사 시기에 따라 차이는 있으나 강우 시작 후 비점오염물질의 농도가 증가한 뒤 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 총부유물질의 평균농도는 안산천이 315 mg/L로 가장 높았으며 반월산단 토구에 비해 약 2~5배 정도 높았으나 화학적산소요구량, 총인 및 총질소의 평균농도는 반월산단 토구가 도심하천에 비해 높은 것으로 나타났다. 총부유물질은 화학적산소요구량 및 총인과 양의 상관성을 보였으며 용존영양염과는 음의 상관성을 나타냈다. 반월산단 토구를 통한 비점오염물질의 총유출량은 토구의 유역면적에 비례하였으며 가장 유역면적이 넓은 3토구에서의 비점오염물질의 유출량이 가장 높았다. 조사기간 내 약 30시간 동안 반월산단토구를 통하여 총부유물질 187,536 kg, 화학적산소요구량 17,118 kg, 총인 922 kg, 총질소 13,519 kg의 비점오염물질이 유출되는 것으로 나타났다. 반월공단 토구 유역면적은 전체 시화호 소유역 중 3%를 차지하는 것을 고려할 때 막대한 양의 비점오염물질이 별다른 처리과정 없이 시화호로 직접 유출되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 강우시 비점오염물질의 유출은 시화호 수질을 더욱 악화 시킬 것이기 때문에 비점오염원 관리 및 저감대책이 시급하게 요구되며 본 연구결과는 향후 시행예정인 시화호 연안오염총량제의 비점오염 최적관리기법 개발에 유용한 정보를 제공하고 있다.

새만금 유역은 BOD와 TP의 비점오염배출 비중이 각각 68.4와 61.4% (2009년 기준)로 점오염원에 비해 높게 나타나므로 새만금 수질관리를 위해서는 비점오염원에 대한 대책수립이 시급하다. 본 연구에서는 새만금 유역 최적관리기법 대상지 선정을 위해 비점오염원의 영향이 큰 농업지역을 중심으로, 그리고 부영양화에 주요인자인 총인(TP)을 기준으로 농업비점오염대책 우선지구를 선정하고자 하였다. 우선지구 선정방안은 의사결정에 의한 오염영향 지수를 이용한 정성분석 방법으로 수계에 비점오염원(TP기준)이 작용하는 단계를 크게 발생, 배출, 유출 관련지표로 구분하여 비점오염원 영향지수(NPSI; Non-point Source Index)를 산정하였으며, 전문가 AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process)분석을 통해 지표의 가중치를 결정하였다. NPSI 산정에는 행정구역 745개의 동리단위 기준으로 비점발생특성(해당 지역의 액비살포 면적, 축사 면적, 논면적, 밭면적, 인산질 비료사용량), 비점배출특성(수질오염 총량관리제의 축산계 비점오염원 배출부하량, 토지계 배출부하량), 비점유출특성(토양유실량, 불투수율, 유출곡선지수, 유달거리, 유효강우비)의 총 12개의 지표가 적용되었다. GIS (Geographical Information System) 분석을 이용한 NPSI 산정결과 새만금 유역 농업비점관리지역 우선지구 후보지로 만경강 5지점과 동진강 5지점을 선정하였다. 우선지구 후보지의 선정원인은 주로 축산에서 기인한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 AHP 분석결과 축산관련 지표의 가중치가 높았기 때문으로 사료된다.

In an effort to investigate water pollution characteristics of Juam lake, water samples were collected from three sites (Sites A, B, and C) of Oenam stream which is a typical tributary of rural watershed in the lake and analyzed for N concentration and the corresponding isotope ratio (${\delta}^{15}N$) of ${NO_3}^-$. Concentrations of ${NO_3}^-$ were not dramatically different among the sites; $0.8{\pm}0.2mgNL^{-1}$ (range: $0.0{\sim}4.3mgNL^{-1}$) for Site A, $1.1{\pm}0.2mgNL^{-1}$ ($0.0{\sim}4.3mgNL^{-1}$) for Site B, and $1.1{\pm}0.1mgNL^{-1}$ ($0.1{\sim}2.6mgNL^{-1}$) for Site C. Meanwhile, ${\delta}^{15}N$ tended to decrease with river flow; it was highest for Site A ($45.5{\pm}5.3$‰) followed by Site B ($19.7{\pm}2.0$‰) and Site C ($8.7{\pm}1.5$‰). Such high ${\delta}^{15}N$ values of ${NO_3}^-$ in Site A suggested that ${NO_3}^-$ derived from livestock feedlot (specifically livestock excrete of which ${\delta}^{15}N$ is higher than 10‰) is the predominant pollution sources despite mountainous area occupied the most of land-use in the watershed. Using the two-sources isotope mixing model, it was estimated that the contribution of cropping activities (i.e. fertilization) became greater in down-stream area (Sites B and C) due to the higher agricultural land-use than the up-stream area (Site A). Particularly, during the active cropping season, the low contribution of organic pollution sources indicated that domestic sewage was not the predominant pollution source. Therefore, it was suggested that agricultural sources such as livestock farming and cropping rather than mountainous and residential are the dominant sources of water pollution in the study area. These results could be effectively utilized in elucidating water pollution sources in rural areas and selecting water management practices.

홍천군 내면 자운지구에는 고랭지 채소밭이 밀집되어 있어서 우기에는 고랭지 밭에서 많은 토사가 유출되어 소양호 탁도와 수질에 큰 영향을 미치고, 하류의 수도권 상수원에도 악영향을 준다. 본 연구에서는 고랭지밭 지역의 토사유출 저감을 위한 여러 BMPs 시설 중에서 많은 비용이 들지만 우리나라에서의 실측 조사 결과가 거의 없는 다단계 침사지에 대해서 강우시 유출입수를 실측 조사하고, 비점원오염물질 삭감효율을 분석하였다. 자운지구의 자운리 786번지와 자운리 628-2번지 다단계 침사지에서 2차례 강우에 대해서 침사지의 SS 제거효율을 분석한 결과 35%~62%의 삭감율을 보였다. BOD는 약 24%~55%, TP는 약 35%~58%의 오염부하가 삭감되었다. 이 지역 다단계 침사지의 실측 효율은 이론적인 효율보다 다소 낮지만 현재 설치되어 있는 침사지를 적절하게 관리하면 효율을 더 높일 수 있고, 추가적인 침사지 설치를 통해 흙탕물 관리를 효과적으로 할 수 있다.

In this study, inter-laboratory comparison was done using elemental analyzer-isotope ratio mass spectrometers (EA-IRMSs) to determine carbon and nitrogen contents as well as stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions (${\delta}^{13}C$ and ${\delta}^{15}N$) of five environmental samples containing lake and marine sediments, higher plant leaves, and fish muscle, and one organic analytical standard (Protein (Casein) Standard OAS). Five national laboratories participated in this comparison study, and each laboratory analyzed all five samples and the analytical standard. Results showed that variations in total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) contents as well as ${\delta}^{13}C_{TOC}$ and ${\delta}^{15}N_{TN}$ values among the laboratories were large compared to the analytical uncertainties. The results highlighted the inhomogeneity of the test samples and thus, the need to select suitable standard reference materials for future inter-laboratory studies. Further inter-laboratory comparison exercises could promote good measurement practices in the acquisition of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic composition data.

1. 방동저수지 상류 5개 토지이용별 유출수량과 수질조사를 실시하고 비점오염원 원단위를 산정 하였다. 산지에서 SS 84kg/ha/년, BOD 4.2kg/ha/년, COD 15kg/ha/년, T-P 0.1kg/ha/년, T-N 1.1kg/ha/년으로 배출부하원단위가 가장 작았다. 거주지역에서 SS 319kg/ha/년, BOD 34kg/ha/년, COD 98kg/ha/년, T-P 5.6kg/ha/년, T-N 8.7kg/ha/년으로 배출부하 원단위가 가장 많았다. 2. 비점오염원은 강우-유출과 관련이 있어 전체 비점오염원의 약 46%가 7~8월에 유출되며, 건기인 10월에서 4월까지는 연간 총량의 약20%, 5월에서 9월까지는 약80%가 유출된다. 3. 유기물질인 SS, BOD, COD는 거주지역에서, 영양물질인 T-N은 논 밭지역에서 T-P는 논 밭 거주지역 및 방목지에서 많이 유출되고 있다. 4. T-N, T-P 등 영양물질이 농지에서 많이 유출되어 저수지와 같은 폐쇄수역에 부영양화로 인한 수질악화의 원인이 된다. 비점오염원이 우기에 집중배출되어 공공수역에 큰 오염원으로 작용하므로 도시하천을 이용한 비점오염원 관리방안과 비점오염원 발생원 저감방안을 적극 추진하여야 한다.
