Wintering behavior of mallards Anas platyrhynchos was studied from November 1995 to February 1996 at wintering habitats : Seosan reclaimed site, Oksan reservoir, and Kum river in Korea. The population of wintering mallards in maximum count was about 35, 000 at Sosan, 500 at Oksan and 1, 680 at Kum river, respectively. In Seosan area, mallards spent more time on water surface. In Kum river and Oksan reservoir, however, they spent more time in riversides. During the daylight hours, mallards spent more time in riversides and ground as the time passes by in the area. Behavioral patterns varied with habitat type, by days and months. Resting was a major time expenditure of mallards on water surface and riversides, and feeding occured occasionally on the ground. During the daytime, feeding and resting activities increased as time passed toward dusks However, time spendings for locmotion and comfort were decreased when it is close to the sun sets. Major disturbance factors within the habitats were identified the local traffics of humans, boats, aircrafts and motor vehicles. Among them, human was the most frequently affecting disturbance factor to the wintering mallards.

Vertical distribution of heterotrophic bacteria and physico-chemical characteristics were measuted in Kum River estuarine sediments. And interrelationship between heterotrophic bacterka and environmental factors was also studied. The type of sediment of Site 1 was silty clay, and sand at Site 2. Annual pH ranges were between 7.1 and 7.7 in the clay type sediment (Site 1) and 6.9-7.2 in the sand type sediment (Site 2). It was shown that organic matter contents were higher in the clay type sediment than those of sand type sediment. Redox potential values of sediments were decreased rapidly with depth at Site 1, but those of Sete 2 showed vertical fluctuation. Nitrogens(ammonia+amino acid-N, nitrate-N, nitrite-N) and phosphate in the clay type sediment showed higher values than those of sand type sediment. Annual distribution of heterotrophic bacteria were ranged $6.71{\times}10^4$ cells/g dry wt. $-2.50{\times}10^6$ cells/g dry wt. In the clay type sediment and $2.67{\times}10^3$ cells/g dry wt. $-1.94{\times}10^6$ cells/g dry wt. in the sand type sediment. Distribution of proteolytic, lipolytic, and amylolytic bacteria were decreased with the depth and the highest density was found in April and the lowest in January. Bacterial populations in sediments were closely correlated with such environmental factors as pH, redox potential, moisture content, organic matter contents, and inorganic nutrients such as nitrite-N and phosphate-P.

본 조사는 장마나 홍수로 인하여 강에서 해양으로 유입되는 부유폐기물의 성상을 파악하여, 해양폐기물 저감대책을 마련하기 위한 자료로 활용하기 위해 한국의 4대강인 한강, 낙동강, 금강, 영산강을 대상으로 2002년 7원과 8원 두 달간 수행하였다. 부유폐기물의 유입은 강우의 정토에 따라 차이가 있으나, 일일 강수량 150mm 이하의 일시적인 호우경보 시에도 부유폐기물의 유임은 미미하였으며, 지속적이며 다량의 강우량이 발생하거나 국지성 호우에 의하여 홍수가 발생될 때 대부분의 부유폐기물이 유입됨을 알 수 있었다 따라서 강에서 유입되는 부유폐기물은 지속적으로 해양에 유입되는 것이 아니라, 일시에 특히 홍수시 다량으로 며칠에 걸쳐서 유입된다. 또한 발생된 부유폐기물 모두가 해양으로 유입되지 않고 폐기물의 상당량이 강변에 집적되는 것을 확인하였다. 각 강의 특성에 따라 부유물의 구성비는 달랐지만 부유물들의 전반이상은 식물 쓰레기이다. 그러므로 해양에 유입되는 부유폐기물 수거 방안마련을 위해서는 식물쓰레기에 의한 영향을 고려해야 한다.

금강 중${\cdot}$하류의 본류와 지류에서 1998년 3월부터 1999년 6월까지 수질 fertility를 Microcystis aeruginosa의 조류생장잠재력 (AGP)으로 평가하였다. 금강에서는 갑천이 합류되는 지점에서 AGP가 가장 높았고, M. aeruginosa의 AGP는 평균값이 38.1 mg dw/l (17.6${\sim}$75.2 mg dw/l)였다. 또한 조류검정 결과에서 하류로 갈수록 생장이 둔화되어 AGP값이 낮게 나타났고, 이러한 양상은 수질분석 결과와 일치하였다. 지류에서 AGP는 갑천, 미호천 및 석성천이 각각 161.2, 50.3 및 125.6 mg dw/l로서 높았고 유구천이 2.7 mg dw/l로서 최저를 기록하였다. 금강 하류의 수질은 갈수기에 더욱 악화되었고 이 시기에 중류에서 AGP값도 컸다. AGP 결과와 영양염의 관계에서 P와 상관이 가장 높아(r = 0.999) 조류의 생장에 P의 영향이 가장 큰 것으로 추정되었고, 질소원으로는 NO$_{3}$보다 NH$_{4}$가 선호됨을 알 수 있었다. 금강에서 AGP는 장소와 계절에 따라 변화 폭이 컸고 유입 지류의 영양염류 농도 증감과 밀접한 관련성이 있었다. 또한 AGP를 통한 수질상태는 평균값이 32.7 mg dw/l로서 부영양 수준을 훨씬 초과한 것으로 평가되어 이에 대한 수환경관리가 중요하였다.

The distribution of organic carbon and its decomposition rate were studied in the middle and down stream reaches of the Kum River system, Korea. Water samples were collected from May to June in 2006 at seven mainstream sites and three tributary sites from the river mouth to the Daechung Reservoir outlet. The change of DOC and POC were measured during incubation for the determination of decomposition rate. The reduction of organic carbon during 20 days' incubation was regarded as labile or biodegradable organic carbon (LDOC, LPOC), and the remaining organic carbon was regarded as recalcitrant organic carbon. The mean TOC was $5.17({\pm}1.49)mgC{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in the mainstream sites and $7.09({\pm}1.48)mgC{\cdot}L^{-1}$ in tributary sites, respectively. TOC comprised of 62% DOC and 38% POC. LPOC was approximately 68% of POC, while LDOC was only 24% of DOC. Mean decomposition rate of TOC was about $0.03day^{-1}$. Mean decomposition rates of LPOC ranged from $0.10day^{-1}$, and that of LDOC was approximately $0.08day^{-1}$. The decomposition rate of both LPOC and LDOC did not show significant difference between mainstream and tributary sites. The result of this study can give a guide to the selection of parameters in the calibration processes of water quality models.

The sand bar has developed at the junction of the Kum-ho River and Shin-ryoung River. The sediment transported from the Kumho River basin has decreased since the Youngchon Dam has been functioning. Sand bar and the vicinity of the bottleneck at the upstrem of Kumho River and Osu Island which is consisted of sand bar have inundated frequently. This study was carried out through the hydraulic model test to calibrate the hydraulic effect from removal of sand bar in the river and straightening the river course by land reclamation. The water level of river at the vicinity of bottleneck can be lowered as much as 0.40~0.7m when the sand bar is removed. When river is straightened the river course by land reclamation the water level can be lowered as half of removal of sand bar.

넓은 지역을 동시에 관측할 수 있는 인공위성 원격탐사 기법으로 금강수계에 위치한 대형 농업용 저수지에 대하여 영양상태를 평가하였다. 대청호에서 유도되었던 클로로필 ${\alpha}$ 농도 추정모델을 4개의 LANDSAT TM 영상에 적용하여 저수지의 영양상태도를 작성하였다. 연구 결과 클로로필 ${\alpha}$ 추정모델의 산정결과는 저수지의 실제 평균 영양상태와 유사하게 나타나 LANDSAT TM 영상자료는 저수지의 영양상태를 평가하는데 매우 유용한 자료임을 알 수 있었다.

The physico-chemical properties of sediment, the species composition and biomass of benthic diatoms were investigated in the intertidal zone of Kum river estuary, from July 1983 to May 1984. Sandflat sediment was more oligotrophic than mudflat one. The diatom composition was primarily associated with sediment grain size. The dominant epipelic diatoms belonged to the centric diatoms such as Paralia sulcata and Thalassiosira spp., while the epipsammic diatoms consisted mainly of Achnanthes haukiana and Amphora sabyii. Diatom flora of sandflat was more significantly diverse than that of mudflat. Mean yearly crop of sandflat diatoms was 2.8 times greater than that of mudflat diatoms and peaked at March reflecting the greater availability of ammonia.

Biomass, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus standing crops of bethic community were estimated at the trophic levels in the intertidal zone of Kum river estuary. Annual mean biomass of zoobenthos was 130.5g/$m^2$, body fraction 26.7g/$m^2$ and shell fraction 103.8 g/$m^3$. Biomass estimated as ash-free dry weight was total 28.9g/$m^2$, body fraction 20.2g/$m^2$ and shell fraction 8.7g/$m^2$ Carbon standing crops of zoobenthos were 15.9gC/$m^2$, in which organic carbon content was 7.0gC/$m^2$ and carbonate carbon was 8.9gC/$m^2$. Production efficiency by carbon standing crops from sediment to herbivores and carnivores and 10.6% and 16.0% in phosphorus, respectively. Annual primary production of benthic algae was crudely estimated to 329g.dw/$m^2$/yr by using the biomass and turn-over rate of benthic algae.
