In this study, we setup a ground-based scatterometer using an antenna of which the center frequency is 9.5 GHz (X-band), and measured radar backscatterings from air/ice and ice/water interfaces to extract ice thickness. Both of air/ice and ice/water interfaces make strong radar backscatterings and so we can clearly identify two peaks in measured data by scatterometer. By using the distance of two peaks and refractive index of ice, we confirmed that it is possible to measure ice thickness. Field survey was performed at the downstream of Jiam River flowing into Chuncheon Lake. We measured radar backscattering from river ice along a survey path and extracted ice thickness. The ice thickness map of the downstream of Jiam River was produced by using kriging which is one of well known interpolation methods. The ice thickness was about 50 cm along the mainstream while ice was thin as 30 ~ 40 cm at a fast-flowing meander. Ice thickness was particularly thinner at some locations than that of surrounding areas even in the mainstream region of constant flow. This was because of impurities in ice or artificially formed refrozen holes after fishing. We expect that this study helps to expand utilization field of X-band SAR and airborne scatterometer system.

J 호소는 1942년도에 충청남도 아산시 선장면에 설치된 농업용 저수지로서, 현재 COD, TN, TP 모두 등급외의 수질상태를 보이고 있다. J 호소 상류 유역은 축산농가가 다수 위치하고 있으며, 설치된 지 70년이 지난 노후화된 저수지로 고농도의 오염물질 유입뿐만 아니라 호소 바닥의 오염 퇴적물에 의한 내부 부하가 중요한 수질오염원이 되고 있다. 호소의 수질은 현재 COD 10.6~16.5 mg/L, Chl-a $75mg/m^3$ 이상으로 수질오염도가 매우 높으며, 특히 늦봄에서 초가을까지 외기온도 상승 및 저수율 저하와 함께 부영양화 증가, 녹조 대발생 등으로 호 내 물고기 대량 폐사 및 악취발생 등으로 민원이 다수 발생하고 있다. 이러한 현상의 직접적인 원인은 수중의 DO 농도 결핍이며, 따라서 수중의 DO 농도를 일정수준 이상으로 유지시켜 주는 것은 호소 수질관리를 위해 매우 필요하다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 공기 중의 산소를 호소 수체에 포기시켜 주는 마이크로버블 발생장치를 J 저수지에 설치하여 수체의 DO 농도 변화 등을 분석하였고, 본 연구결과는 농업용 호소의 수질개선을 위한 기술개발 및 계획수립의 기초자료로 활용하고자 하였다. 마이크로버블 포기장치는 수심이 약 4m 되는 저수지 제방 근처에 100m 간격으로 총 3지점에 설치하였다. 버블 발생기는 기액 2상류 선회형 마이크로 버블 발생장치로 3지점에 각 1set(1set에 3기로 구성)씩 구성하여 저수지 바닥 층에서 상부로 1m 떨어진 지점에 고정식으로 설치하였다. 총 공기흡입량은 380 LPM이며, 사용동력은 12.2kW를 사용하였다. 마이크로 버블 포기장치 설치 후 호 내 DO 농도 변화를 평가하기 위하여 호소 전체에 18개 지점을 선정하여 수심 50cm 간격으로 DO 농도를 측정하였다. 가동 전에는 DO 평균농도가 표층에서는 약 7.7mg/L로 나타났고, 수심에 따라 거의 수직적으로 감소하여 바닥층에서는 약 0.2mg/L로 거의 무산소 상태를 보이고 있었다. 마이크로 버블 가동 2주 후에는 수심 3m까지의 모든 수층에서 DO 농도가 약 6.0mg/L 이상을 보였고, 바닥층에서는 DO 약 3.4mg/의 농도를 나타내었다. 가동 3주 후에도 2주 후와 비슷한 수치를 보이고 있었으나 가동 4주가 지나면서부터는 호소 바닥층(수심 3.5m)에서도 DO 농도가 7.0mg/L 이상의 높은 농도를 유지하는 것으로 조사되었다. 호소 저층에서 호기성 상태의 지속적 유지는 퇴적 오염물질이 수층으로 용출되는 것을 예방할 수 있으므로 마이크로버블을 잘 활용하면 호소의 악취제거 및 수질개선에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라의 간척사업은 고려시대 중엽부터 서남해안에 다수 산재되어 있는 천혜적인 간척 적지를 대상으로 지속적으로 추진되어 국토확장 및 식량 자급달성에 기여하여 왔다. 그러나, 최근 들어 쌀 수급 등 농업정책의 변화, 비용에 대한 경제성 평가의 변화, 개발과 보전에 관한 이해당사자간의 대립 등으로 신규 간척사업의 추진이 어려워지고 기존 간척지의 토지이용 목적 변화와 이치수 기능개선을 목적으로 배수갑문을 확장하는 등의 사업이 추진되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 방조제 상류지역 및 지천에서 이상홍수 유입에 따른 방조제 안정성 검토를 실시하였다. 호내로 유입되는 빈도별 홍수량에 따른 각 지점별 수위변화를 이용하여 방조제 비상대처계획에 대한 재난관리 지표로 활용할 수 있는지를 확인한다. 이를 위해 선정된 방조제를 중심으로 빈도별 홍수량을 산정하여 수문학적 안정성을 검토하고, 빈도별 홍수량에 따른 호내의 홍수위 변화를 통하여 비상대처계획 시나리오를 구성하고자 한다. 새만금 유역의 수치모델링에 필요한 범위를 설정하고, 모델 구성 및 자료를 입력한 후 검 보정을 통하여 모델의 신뢰성을 검증한 후 모델운영 조건을 설정하였다. 새만금 종합개발계획(MP)이 완료되었을 경우를 가정하여 통합운영을 실시하였다. 호내 관리수위에 따른 100, 200, 500, PMF 홍수량 유입시에 호내 홍수위 모의를 수행하였다. 또한, 비상단계 중 초기단계인 '관심단계'를 "이상홍수 발생부터 관리수위 EL-1.5m까지"로 설정한다면 방조제 초기 재난대응이 유리해 질 것으로 판단된다. 또한, '주의단계'는 "관리수위 EL-1.5m부터 호내 관리홍수위 EL+1.5m까지"로 '경계단계'를 "호내 관리홍수위 EL+1.5m부터 제당 내측사석보호공 홍수위까지", '심각단계'를 "제당 내측사석보호공(만경유역 EL+4.5m, 동진유역 EL+2.5m) 이상의 홍수위"로 설정한다면 방조제 관리자에게 세부화된 정보 및 지표를 제공해 줄 것이라 판단된다. 방조제 비상상황 단계별 분류에서 이상홍수위 발생후의 시간을 수치모의를 통해 구분하였으며 정성적인 위기상황 판단이 아닌 구체적인 수치로 된 지표들을 방조제 위기상황 재난지표로 활용한다면 상황 관리자의 위기상황 판단과 대처를 위한 의사결정에 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.

The tidal channel is a coastal sedimentary terrain that plays the most important role in the formation and development of tidal flats, and is considered a very important index for understanding and distribution of tidal flat sedimentation/erosion terrain. The purpose of this study is to understand the changes in tidal channels by a period after the opening of the floodgate of the seawall in the reclaimed land of Sihwa Lake using KOMPSAT high-resolution multispectral satellite image data and to evaluate the applicability and efficiency of high-resolution satellite images. KOMPSAT 2 and 3 images were used for extraction of the tidal channels' lineaments in 2009, 2014, and 2019 and were applied to supervised classification method based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Artificial Neural Net (ANN), Matched Filtering (MF), and Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) and band ratio techniques using Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and MF/SAM. For verification, a numerical map of the National Geographic Information Service and Landsat 7 ETM+ image data were utilized. As a result, KOMPSAT data showed great agreement with the verification data compared to the Landsat 7 images for detecting a direction and distribution pattern of the tidal channels. However, it has been confirmed that there will be limitations in identifying the distribution of tidal channels' density and providing meaningful information related to the development of the sedimentary process. This research is expected to present the possibility of utilizing KOMPSAT image-based high-resolution remote exploration as a way of responding to domestic intertidal environmental issues, and to be used as basic research for providing multi-platform-image-based convergent thematic maps and topics.

대청호는 1998년 조류경보제 도입 이후 1999년과 2014년을 제외하고 매년 조류 경보가 발령되었으며 2001년 조류 경보 '대발생'이 발령된 후 2017년 가장 높은 조류 발생 수치를 기록하였다. 상시 조류 발생 지역인 대청호 내 녹조를 제어하기 위해 비점오염원 발생원을 기준으로 우선관리지역을 선정하고, 각 지역의 특성을 반영한 관리대책을 제안하였다. 우선관리지역 선정을 위해 대청호 유역 내 오염총량 소유역을 기준으로 각 소유역의 농업 비점오염원의 발생부하량을 산정하고 유출을 고려한 가중치를 추가하였다. 본 연구에서는 농업 비점오염원을 크게 토지계 비점오염원과 축산계 비점오염원으로 분류하였으며, 토지계 농업비점오염원은 논, 밭, 과수원 지역으로 정의하였다. 발생부하량의 산정은 오염총량관리 기술지침(2019, 국립환경과학원)을 기준으로 하였으며, 토지계 발생부하량 산정을 위한 토지계 정보원으로 환경부에서 제작 및 배포하는 세분류 토지피복도를 축산계 발생부하량 산정을 위한 축산 두수는 2017년 기준 전국오염원조사 내 축산두수를 이용하였다. 토지계 비점오염원의 하천까지 유출을 반영하기 위해 각 소유역별 평균 경사도를 가중치로 이용하였으며, 축산계 비점오염원은 오염물질이 발생한 후 하천까지의 평균 유출 정도를 확인하여 가중치로 반영하였다. 실제 하천에 미치는 영향이 높은 지역에 대한 우선적인 관리를 위해 하천수 수질측정망에서 측정한 수질 데이터와의 비교를 통하여 최종 우선관리지역을 보청A03, 보청A05, 금본F14, 금본F22 소유역으로 선정하였다. 각 소유역에 대한 수질 관리목표를 확인하였으며, 지역의 특성을 분석하여 토지계 및 축산계 비점오염원에 대한 적절한 관리대책을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 수질 측정망 데이터가 각 소유역보다 적게 분포하여 소유역에서 발생한 비점오염물질이 하천에 미치는 영향을 직접 파악하는데 한계가 있었다. 또한, 축산계의 경우 발생한 비점오염물질이 모두 하천으로 유입되지 않으며, 축산계 비점오염원의 배출경로를 파악하는데 어려움이 있다는 한계를 가진다. 본 연구의 한계를 바탕으로 농림축산식품부 및 축협 등에서 구축하는 사육두수의 데이터를 이용하는 방법론 등의 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Pollutants from industry, mining, agriculture, and other sources have contaminated sediments in many surface water bodies. Sediment contamination poses a severe threat to human health and environment because many toxic contaminants that are barely detectable in the water column can accumulate in sediments at much higher levels. The purpose of this study was to make optimal treatment and disposal plan o( sediment for water quality improvement in small-scale resevoir based on an evaluation of degree of contamination. The degree of contamination were investigated for 23 samples of 9 site at different depth of sediment in small-scale J river. Results for analysis of contaminated sediments were observed that copper concentration of 4 samples were higher than the regulation of hazardous waste (3 mg/L) and that of all samples were exceeded soil pollution warning levels for agricultural areas. Lead and mercury concentration of all samples were detected below both regulations. Necessary of sediment dredge was evaluated for organic matter and nutrient through standard levels of Paldang lake and the lower Han river in Korea and Tokyo bay and Yokohama bay in Japan. The degree of contamination for organic matter and nutrient was not serious. Compared standard levels of Japan, America, and Canada for heavy metal, contaminated sediment was concluded as lowest effect level or limit of tolerance level because standard levels of America and Canada was established worst effect of benthic organisms. The optimal treatment method of sediment contained heavy metal was cement-based solidification/stabilization to prevent heavy metal leaching.

Since weak zones or geological lineaments are likely to be eroded, weak zones may develop beneath rivers, and a careful evaluation of ground condition is important to construct structures passing through a river. Dc resistivity surveys, however, have seldomly applied to the investigation of water-covered area, possibly because of difficulties in data aquisition and interpretation. The data aquisition having high quality may be the most important factor, and is more difficult than that in land survey, due to the water layer overlying the underground structure to be imaged. Through the numerical modeling and the analysis of case histories, we studied the method of resistivity survey at the water-covered area, starting from the characteristics of measured data, via data acquisition method, to the interpretation method. We unfolded our discussion according to the installed locations of electrodes, ie., floating them on the water surface, and installing at the water bottom, since the methods of data acquisition and interpretation vary depending on the electrode location. Through this study, we could confirm that the dc resistivity method can provide the fairly reasonable subsurface images. It was also shown that installing electrodes at the water bottom can give the subsurface image with much higher resolution than floating them on the water surface. Since the data acquired at the water-covered area have much lower sensitivity to the underground structure than those at the land, and can be contaminated by the higher noise, such as streaming potential, it would be very important to select the acquisition method and electrode array being able to provide the higher signal-to-noise ratio data as well as the high resolving power. The method installing electrodes at the water bottom is suitable to the detailed survey because of much higher resolving power, whereas the method floating them, especially streamer dc resistivity survey, is to the reconnaissance survey owing of very high speed of field work.

In order to evaluate the change of aquatic environment in the reclaimed Hwaong Reservoir, situated in the early stage after construction, this study was conducted to measure the change of precipitation, temperature, and salinity from June 2002 to January 2006. The range and mean of temperature was $-0.7{\sim}33.4^{\circ}C$ and $13.6^{\circ}C$, respectively. Temperature of upstream part rapidly changed during the transitional period; from spring to summer and from fall to winter. It showed abrupt decrease with high discharge from the streams temporarily. While, hypolimnetic temperature of upstream happened to be somewhat higher than that of surface or downstream. The range and mean of salinity was 0.3${\sim}$32.3 psu and 25.3 psu, respectively. Vertical difference of salinity was marked, and the change in the surface water was much higher than middle or bottom layers. It showed the marked difference at all stations, except for the bottom layer of upstream into which Namyang Stream flows, indicating that vertical gradient of salinity is strongly sustained in the reservoir. Salinity was changed markedly during the storm period (June${\sim}$October), and freshwater with low salinity was expanded from upstream to downstream along the surface layer. The surface of the reservoir was totally covered by the stream discharged water with a large amount of silt and low salinity during this period. The difference of temperature and salinity between the surface and bottom layer ranged $-10.6{\sim}9.7^{\circ}C$ and $-27.1{\sim}30.0$ psu, respectively. The big difference of salinity appeared with a large discharge of freshwater from the streams or large input of seawater through the gate. Salinity was negatively correlated with temperature, indicating the influence of monsoon storm events on the salinity under the whole watershed scale of this brackish reclaimed reservoir.

This study was conducted in order to evaluate the characteristics of air temperature fluctuation inside the Daegeumgul, Ondaldonggul, and Seongnyugul Caves, which are the most representative limestone caves in Korea, and also to assess the effects of air temperature on cave temperature. Temperature was measured hourly at three sites in Daegeumgul, Ondaldonggul, and Seongnyugul Caves from April 13 to June 25, 2019. Additionally, air temperature data for the areas around the caves was provided by the Meteorological Administration. Using this collected data, the basic statistical measure of fluctuation characteristics over time was ascertained, and time series analyses were performed. Wide variation of temperature was exhibited in the order of the cave entrance, the cave water inflow point, and the midpoint. Cave temperature was observed to increase gradually during the study period. There was a vast range in temperature at the Daegeumgul station located approximately 150 m outside the cave, but it remained nearly constant beyond the midpoint. Although the effect of air temperature was not significant due to the influence of visitors, the effect of air temperature on cave temperature gradually decreased from the entrance to the interior. At Ondaldonggul, there was a wide range in temperature recorded at the entrance due to the influence of air temperature, but it stayed almost constant in the interior. However, at the site where cave water flows into the cave, temperature was influenced by the cave water temperature. At Seongnyugul, there was a distinct fluctuation in temperature recorded at the cave entrance, while the middle of the cave remained nearly constant. Temperature fluctuated due to the air temperature at the entrance, while at the middle of the cave, measurements were expected to be affected to a greater extent by the lake water temperature than by the air temperature. However, this pattern was not observed. According to the time series analysis results, in all caves, fluctuations of air temperature affected cave temperature after approximately one hour. Cave size and structure, water presence, the entrance's size and shape, air flow, and visitor patterns can all influence cave temperature. Therefore, consideration of these factors is very important in the pursuit to clearly understand cave temperature characteristics.

A total of 498 agricultural reservoirs ranging from $164{\times}10^3\;m^3$ to $253{\times}10^6\;m^3$ in storage volume were investigated from 1990 to 2001 with respect to Chl-${\alpha}$, COD concentration and pollutant loading of BOD, TN, and TP. The lakes and reservoirs could be classified to 4 types using the relationships between the ratio of storage volume per water surface area(ST/WS) and Chl-${\alpha}$ concentration. It is recommended that the improvement of polluted lakes should be performed in the order of integrated consolidation type ${\rightarrow}$ watershed consolidation type ${\rightarrow}$ in-lake consolidation type ${\rightarrow}$ Management type and reservoir should be constructed to be over $5{\sim}6\;m$ in depth(ST/WS ratio) for preventing the eutrophication of agricultural reservoirs. We propose that water quality criteria for agricultural water is changed from less than 8 mg/L to less than 6 mg/L for safety value, $6{\sim}10\;mg/L$ for concern value, and more than 10 mg/L for countermeasure value in COD concentration, respectively.
