The summer distributions of planktonic microbial communities (heterotrophic and phtosynthetic bacteria, phtosynthetic and heterotrophic nanoflagellates, ciliate plankton, and microphytoplankton) were compared between inner and outer areas of Lake Sihwa, divided by an artificial breakwater, located on the western coast of Korea, in September 2003. The semi-enclosed, inner area was characterized by hyposaline surface water (<17 psu), and by low concentrations of dissolved oxygen (avg. $0.4\;mg\;L^{-1}$) and high concentrations of inorganic nutrients (nitrogenous nutrients $>36\;{\mu}M$, phosphate $>4\;{\mu}M$) in the bottom layer. Higher densities of heterotrophic bacteria and nanoflagellates also occurred in the inner area than did in the outer area, while microphytoplankton (mainly diatoms) occurred abundantly in the outer area. A tiny tintinnid ciliate, Tintinnopsis nana, bloomed into more than $10^6\;cells\;L^{-1}$ at the surface layer of the inner area, while its abundance was much lower ($10^3-10^4\;cells\;L^{-1}$) in the outer area of the breakwater. Ciliate abundance was highly correlated with heterotrophic bacteria (r = 0.886, p < 0.001) and heterotrophic flagellates (r = 0.962, p < 0.001), indicating that rich food availability may have led to the T. nana bloom. These results suggest that the breakwater causes the eutrophic environment in artificial lakes with limited flushing of enriched water and develops into abundant bacteria, nanoflagellates, and ciliates.

The remote monitoring system of water salinity was assessed in Wando reclaimed land lake during a farming season in 2009. Increasing of water salinity in this lake used to bring about salt damage on rice plant occasionally. At the early stage of the rice growing period, rice growth was not damaged due to enough rainfall with more than 120 mm from the mid-May to the first ten days of June. Data collection using on-site water salinity measuring sensors every 2 hours and real-time transmission in system were carried out for the experiment. We compared the transmitted values from the sensor system with water sample values collected and analyzed by a local technical office. Salt concentrations measured by sensor in real-time monitoring system were available data. The regression equation between rainfall and water salinity was presented as (water salinity after rainfall) = $0.621{\times}$(water salinity before rainfall)${\times}exp(-0.0139{\times}rainfall)$, ($r^2=0.579$, p<0.01). It is suggested that the system is useful for stable farming in the area where farmer use water in reclaimed lakes as an irrigation source.

In order to apply a water quality indicator as a certain target pollutant, the indicator should have the representability of an index for the management of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Scientific groundwork and treatment technologies also should be provided for the application of the indicator. This study analyzed the applicability of major water quality indicators for target pollutants. The results showed that four water quality indicators of TOC, T-N, SS & T-Coli can be considered as target pollutants besides existing BOD and T-P. These indicators can be applied with the preparations such as essential basic data, pollution load estimation framework as well as legal criteria setting when the need is raised. As the importance of TOC, which is considered as a replacement of BOD, is emphasized, technical and institutional terms are being prepared in order to determine TOC as another target pollutant in the near future. It could be considered to combine TOC with BOD for the time being during the $3^{rd}$ stage of TMDLs in view of the present conditions for the management of TOC. TOC can be the most effective index for the organic matter and help to be managed more systematically in the waterbodies where rivers and lakes are mutually connected.

부유된 광물성 미립자는 강, 저수지 그리고 호수의 유속 및 운송력이 감소하는 곳에서 침전되며, 다른 중금속들에 의해 오염된다. 그 실예들이 퇴적물의 준설, 수질오염, 운하 및 수공구조물의 유지관리의 문제이다. 이런 침전 문제들을 다루기 위해선 물에 녹아있는 이온(NaOH, HCl, NaCl)의 첨가 및 밀도의 변화 아래 점착성 퇴적물의 물리-화학적인 특성의 이해가 필요하다. 왜냐하면 미립자인 점착성 퇴적물은 물리-화학적인 영향 때문에 쉽게 응집현상이 일어나며, 다른 특성을 갖게 되기 때문이다. 본 실험은 광물성 미립자(alumina 와 Quartz)를 가지고 담수 및 염분을 함유한 침강수주 안에서 실시되었다. 정수 중에 부유된 미립자의 침강속도는 압력센서(최대 10 mbar)로 측정되었다. 초기 농도 20,000 mg/l)까지 quartz의 침강 속도는 증가하였으며, 그 후 감소하였다. Quartz의 침강 속도는 산성에서 강한 응집현상 때문에 증가하였으며 알칼리성에서는 낮게 측정되었다. 그러나 alumina의 침강 속도는 그 정반대의 현상을 보였다.

본 연구는 점착성 퇴적물 예측에 가장 중요한 인자인 침강속도를 강 항만 저수지 그리고 호수에 녹아있는 이온 $(Na^+,\;Cl^-,\;OH^-,\;H^+)$의 첨가 및 밀도의 변화 아래 실시되었다. 정수 중에 부유된 미립자(alumina와 quartz)의 침강 속도는 압력센서(최대 10 mbar)로 측정되었다. 초기 농도 20 g/l에서 alumina와 quartz의 평균 침강속도는 미립자의 응집현상 때문에 최고 값을 보였으며, 이때 각각 최대 평균 침강속도는 0.185 mm/s(alumina)와 0.022 mm/s(quartz)이다. 그 후 증가된 초기농도일 경우 간섭침강 때문에 침강속도는 감소하였다. 또한 증가된 염분에서 두 미립자의 평균속도는 증가하였다. 더구나 alumina의 평균 침강속도는 산성에서 감소하다가 알칼리성에서는 강한 응집현상 때문에 높게 측정되었다. 그러나 quartz의 평균 침강속도는 알칼리성에서 낮은 값을 보였다.

The nitrogen assimilation rate of nitrogenous nutrients by reservior phytoplankton was masured in the in situ condition in the euphotic layer of Lakes Soyang, Chuncheon and Uiam located on the upper reaches of the North Han River System in August, 1983, Korea. The assimilation rate of ammonia, nitrate and urea nitrogen in surface water was 13, 2 and $13{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:10~18:15)^{-1}$ in Lake Soyang, 325, 27 and $59{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:30~18:30)^{-1}$ in Lake Chuncheon, and 174, 12 and $45{\mu}g$ at. $N{\cdot}m^{-3}{\cdot}(12:30~19:30)^{-1}$ in Lake Uiam. Ammonia and urea were perferntially utilized by reservoir phytoplankton. The dark/light ratios of nitrate assimilation were much lower than those of ammonia and urea assimilation of nitrate showed little contribution. The primary productuin was estimated as 59mg $C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 6.9mg $N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Spyang, 217mg C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 26mg N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Chuncheon, and 110mg C{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ and 13mg N{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}day^{-1}$ in Lake Uiam, with production ratios of 8.6, 8.4 and 8,4, respectively. The turnover time o ammonia and urea in the upper euphotic layer was 2 to 47 days and 4 to 38 days, respectively. Nitrate required much longer periods. In the euphotic layer of reservoirs, ammonia and urea played signigicant roles in the biogeoKDICical nitrogen metabolism.

Waterborne parasitic protozoa, particularly Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium spp., are common causes of diarrhea and gastroenteritis worldwide. The most frequently identified source of infestation is water, and exposure involves either drinking water or recreation in swimming pools or natural bodies of water. In practice, studies on Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts in surface water are challenging owing to the low concentrations of these microorganisms because of dilution. In this study, a 3-year monitoring of Cryptosporidium parvum, Giardia lamblia, and Naegleria fowleri was conducted from August 2014 to June 2016 at 5 surface water sites including 2 lakes, 1 river, and 2 water intake plants. A total of 50 water samples of 40 L were examined. Cryptosporidium oocysts were detected in 22% of samples and Giardia cysts in 32%. Water at the 5 sampling sites was all contaminated with Cryptosporidium oocysts (0-36/L), Giardia cysts (0-39/L), or both. The geometric mean concentrations of Cryptosporidium and Giardia were 1.14 oocysts/L and 4.62 cysts/L, respectively. Thus, effective monitoring plans must take into account the spatial and temporal parameters of contamination because they affect the prevalence and distribution of these protozoan cysts in local water resources.

As the imports of foreign agricultural products are liberalized and the consumption of agricultural products declines, abandoned rice paddy fields continues to rise. However, such abandoned rice paddy fields has not been precisely surveyed yet. In this backdrop, a necessity to develop technology to utilize such abandoned rice paddy fields has emerged. Utilization of abandoned rice paddy fields as wetlands may be a good example. This study aimed to survey the current status and characteristics of wetlands created within abandoned rice paddy fields by selecting abandoned rice paddy fields throughout the nation and conducting field surveys on the sites that had transformed into wetlands. The abandoned rice paddy fields almost transformed into wetland and the types of wetlands transformed from abandoned rice paddy fields were mainly Inland/Moutain/Depression/Abandoned rice paddy fields/Marsh/Phragmites communis community and Inland/Moutain/Depression/Abandoned rice paddy fields/Swamp/Salix koreensis community. Abandoned rice paddy fields that had transformed into wetlands was depending heavily on waterways for water supply than other reservoirs and lakes do. Abandoned rice paddy fields transformed into wetlands was most observed in mountainous area. Abandoned rice paddy fields are because agricultural land is no longer profitable due to international and social changes and is not cultivated as government policy. Wetland period and dimension originated from abandoned rice paddy fields are very various and its surrounding land its mostly forest and the next largest follow roads and rural community. The abandoned rice paddy fields transformed into wetlands is mostly deserted currently. Despite their value as wetlands, no restoration and utilization efforts are made in Korea today. Therefore, it is imperative to conduct a precise current status survey on these areas and introduce management and restoration plans at the government level in the case of important habitats.

본 연구에서는 미세기포를 산란체로 사용한 편광산란 측정법을 이용하여 수중 계면활성제의 농도를 측정하는 방법을 개발하였다. Mueller 요소 $M_{11}$은 계면활성제의 농도가 0 ppm부터 60 ppm 사이 영역에서 농도와 선형적인 비례관계를 가져 계면활성제 농도를 측정할 수 있는 유용한 파라메터로 사용될 수 있음을 알았다. 이 측정은 산란각이 150도, 소광비가 56.2 조건에서 가장 효과적 이였다. 이 연구 결과를 볼 때, 편광산란 측정법(EPLS)은 강이나 호수에서 수질을 실시간적으로 모니터하는데 있어 충분히 효과적인 수단으로 보인다.

A multiple box model which is suitable for the prediction of water quality in shallow lakes with active mixing is a water quality model expected to be used widely in estuary reservoir. In this study, a multiple box water quality model for estuary reservoirs (MBQER) was developed arid the applicability of the MBQER was tested by applying data obtained from Asan-estuary reservoir. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. 1. The MBQER, dynamic water quality model, was developed to estimate 10-day water qualities of estuary reservoirs. For the proper analysis and the application of hydraulics needed to build a model, lake hydraulics was simplified by condisering only hydrological inflow and lake mixing currents. The box division in the MBQER is longitudinal one dimension for upper and middle part, and two layers for lower part of the reservoir. 2. The methods of box division for the multiple box model were ekamined and applied to Asan-estuary reservoir. For determining the number of boxes, Pe number and Pk number were used. In case of three boxes, the error by the model simplification would be estimated about 5 % Therefore, in Asan reservoir, the proper number of boxes was three. 3. The MBQER was calibrated and verified using measured data in Asan-estuary reservoir from 1986 to 1988. The Root Mean Squares(RMS) for the differences between measured data and simulated results by the MBQER were 1.10$^{\circ}$C C for water temperature, 75.8mg/1 for salinity, 0.082mg/1 for total-phosphorus showing good estimations. 4. Through the simulation of water temperature and salinity by the MBQER, the exchange flow and the mixing coefficients for the estuary lake were determined. As a result of simulation, the horizontal mixing coefficients in Asan-estuary reservoir were in the range of 1.07X 105 to 1.12X 105 cm$^2$/sec and vertical mixing coefficient was 2.90X 10-1 cm$^2$/sec.
