The purpose of this study is to construct e-Nonsan, a user friendly river quality management information system for Nonsan-si basin using GIS (geographical information system) technology. GIS was ideally suited featuring a geographical characteristics(e.g., industries, cattle sheds) and very effectively used in mapping and symbolization for the distribution of the spatial/periodic status(e.g., pie or column chart) of the point/non-point pollutant source loads which can be effectively applied to a information system on the web-site. And a user interface, GUI(graphic user interface) was designed very diversely and simply enabled the and non environmental experts connect with the system and obtain a useful information of river quality. e-Nonsan, a visual mapping system for river quality was developed by reframing the monitoring data as graphic symbols and it was ideally suited to exploring area-wide river quality at a user-friendly manner due to extensibility and scalability along the various survey points. Eventually the final step of this study was to construct e-Nonsan based on Web-GIS could be assessed anywhere if internet service is available and offer a very useful information services of the river quality to the publics.

우리나라는 기상학적으로 연중 총강수량의 약 2/3가 6~9월에 편중해서 내리고 있고, 지형적으로 국토의 70% 이상이 산지로 구성되어 경사가급해 수해를 입을 가능성이매우 크다. 또한 산업화 및 도시화로인해 불투수층의 증가로 강수량의 대부분이 직접유출로 기여해 강우초기에 노면상의 오염물질을 급속히 하천으로 이동시켜 오염을 가중시키고 있다. 특히 위락시설지역은 도시화에 따른 인구집중으로 지역민들에게 휴식공간 및 공원기능의 제공으로 비점오염원의 이동능력도 증가하여 수질관리가 절실히 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 위락시설지역의 비점오염원 유출특성분석을 위해 SOM(Self-Organizing Map) 이론을 도입하여 시험유역에서 측정된 유출 및 BOD, TOC자료에 대해 패턴분류를 수행하여 분할구역별 자료의 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 BOD 농도는 4개 TOC 농도는 각각 4개, 6개 분할구역으로 구분되었으며 BOD 농도의 경우 Cluster1과 Cluster2가 TOC 농도의 경우 Cluster4와 Cluster5가 비점오염원 유출 연구에 있어서 매우 중요한 요소인 초기강우 양상을 나타내었다. 또한 유출량 자료 수집과정에서 불가피하게 발생하는 이상치 자료를 정상적으로 측정된 수위와 유출량관계를 통해 추정된 회귀식을 이용하여 보완하여 이상치 자료를 활용하였다.

As a transition zone between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, riparian areas of rivers and streams play significant roles in production and decomposition for river and stream systems. Understanding of the physical and ecological characteristics of riparian areas are, therefore, important for the management of river and stream systems. It is especially important to understand the characteristics of riparian areas for the Nakdong River in Korea which has a large watershed area and diverse land uses. This study aimed at collecting field data, according to stream types, which are essential for the management of riparian areas of the middle and lower reaches of the Nakdong River, Korea. Most riparian areas surveyed in this study had roads within 100 meters from river edges. Distances from water edge to banks were less than 1m for most riparian areas neighboring agricultural lands, indicating that those areas might be very vulnerable to pollutant inputs from non-point sources. Water quality data indicated that soil erosion in the riparian areas could be a major source of phosphorus input to the Nakdong River and land use patters might have a significant influence on nitrogen concentration in the river. Heavy metal concentrations in soils of the riparian areas of the river were below soil quality standards, except arsenic and chromium. Vegetation surveys showed that therophytes were the most frequently occurred riparian plants in the Nakdong River. Number of aquatic plant species increased downstream, with the most diverse aquatic plants observed in wetlands and irrigation canals of the West Nakdong River. Occurrence rate of naturalized plants and urbanization index were high in the survey sites adjacent to urban and agricultural areas.

In this study, the characteristics of nonpoint source pollutant loads from separate sewer overflow (SSO) and combined sewer overflow (CSO) were evaluated during 2016 in Namyangju city, Korea. Five rainfall events were monitored during 2016 with ranging from 14.5 mm to 121.5 mm. The runoff ratio of CSO was higher than that of SSO because only design volume of maximum sanitary sewer ($1Q_h$) was transported and treated and $2Q_h$ was overflowed to waterbody during rainy day although combined sewer system was designed to transport $3Q_h$ to treatment system. The event mean concentrations (EMCs) and pollutant loads from CSO were higher than those from SSO. BOD and COD of CSO, and TOC and TN of SSO represented distinct first flush phenomena. The inadequate management in combined sewer system from which the untreated $2Q_h$ from CSO was overflowed to waterbody during rainy day could influence on high pollutant loads and first flushing. Treating $2Q_h$ from CSO, source control such as low impact development, and treating outflow from SSO were strongly recommended to control non-point source pollution in urban area.

In order to improve water quality of upper watershed of Paldang reservoir, it is necessary to evaluate non-point source pollution loads and identify critical watershed pollution sources. A GIS based Soil and Water Assessment Tool was applied to evaluate model application and reliability, estimate NPS pollution load, identify critical watershed by NPS pollution sources, and suggest various best management practices for Kyongan Stream watershed. Yearly NPS pollution loads were estimated 30.0% SS, 60.1% TN and 35.4% TP, respectably. The watershed pollution load is mainly decided by precipitation condition and SS and nutrients load have a significant regression relationship. Based on 10-year average yearly NPS pollution load, critical sub-watersheds were identified. The No. 5 and 17 which have lots of relatively intensive agricultural fields and scattered industrial area were vary critical sub-watersheds and under more intensive pollution load. In order to control critical watershed, watershed best management practices such as scientific fertilizer, contour farming and parallel terrace, transferring the sloppy farmland to grass or forest and constructing a buffer zone, and constructing wetlands and retention ponds will be applied. Overall the SWAT model can be efficiently used for identification of critical sub-watersheds in order to develop a priority watershed management plan to reduce water pollutions.

The recent climate change and urbanization have seen an increase in runoff and pollutant loads, and consequently significant negative water pollution. The characteristics of the pollutant loads vary among the different flow regime depending on their source and transport mechanism, However, pollutant load reduction based on flow regime perspectives has not been investigated thoroughly. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the effects of concentration on pollutant load characteristics and reductions from each flow regime to develop efficient pollution management. As non-point pollutants continuously increase due to the increase in impervious area, efficient management is necessary. Therefore, in this study, 1) the characteristics of pollutant sources were analyzed at the Dalcheon Basin, 2) reduction of nonpoint pollution, and 3) reduction efficiency for flow regimes were analyzed. By analyzing the characteristics of the Dalcheon Basin, a reduction efficiency scenario for each pollutant source was constructed. The efficiency analysis showed 0.06% to 5.62% for the living scenario, 0.09 to 24.62% for the livestock scenario, 0.17% to 12.81% for the industry scenario, 9.45% to 38.45% for the land scenario, and 9.8% to 39.2% for the composite scenario. Therefore, various pollution reduction scenarios, taking into account the characteristics of pollutants and flow regime characteristics, can contribute to the development of efficient measurements to improve water quality at various flow regime perspectives in the Dalcheon Basin.

A natural wetland in the Nakdong River basin which effectively removes non-point source pollutants was investigated for 2 years to understand wetland topography, vegetation types, and water quality characteristics. The water depth of the natural wetland was in the range of 0.5~1.9 m which is suitable for the growth of non-emergent hydrophytes. The wetland has a high length to width ratio (3.3:1) and a relatively large wetland to watershed area ratio (0.057). A broad-crested weir at the outlet increases the retention time of the wetland whose hydrology is mainly dependent on storm events. The concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the growing season and the winter season showed anoxic and oxic conditions, respectively. Diurnal variations of DO and pH in the growing season were also observed due to weather change and submerged plants. COD and TP concentrations were low in the winter season due to low inflow rate and increased retention time. Increased TP concentrations in the spring season were caused by degradation of dead wetland plants. Nitrogen in the wetland was mostly in organic nitrogen form (>75%). During the growing season, ammonium concentration was high but nitrate nitrogen concentration was low, possibly due to anoxic and low pH conditions which are adverse conditions for ammonificaiton and nitrification. The results of this study can be used as preliminary data for design, operation, monitoring and management of a constructed wetland which is designed to treat diffuse pollutants in the Nakdong river watershed.

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.

This paper presents the development and application of a riparian buffer zone design model(RBZDM). The model was developed as a decision-making tool for watershed management, by integrating geographic information system(GIS) and analytical hierarchy process(AHP) theory. Several factors for watershed management, such as pollution removal capacity, land aquisition cost, distribution of point and non-point pollution sources, and possibility of new pollution source location, were analyzed based on AHP theory. The vegetated buffer zone width was designed using GIS-based riparian buffer analysis. The developed model was applied to the Kyoungan Stream watershed, which is an important part of Paldang lake catchment area. The Kyoungan stream watershed was divided into sixteen subbasins. Six of them belong to the main stem, where the model was applied. Ten alternatives of buffer zone width and five hierarchial levels were designed. The relative importance and the relative preference were computed by pair-wise comparison of evaluation criteria given in hierarchial levels. The buffer zone width was determined by linear function of the given alternatives and relative preferences. From this study, it was determined that the six buffer zone widths of Kyoungan main stems would be 1,594, 1,744, 1,856, 1,782, 1,338, 1,780 meter, from upstream to downstream.

농촌지역에서 야적퇴비가 비점오염원으로 작용하고 있으나, 정량적으로 분포 및 적재량이 산정되지 않아 야적퇴비가 유실되어 하천 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 지상 LiDAR를 활용하여 UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)의 야적퇴비 데이터를 검증하고, 수동조종비행으로 UAV를 활용하여 야적퇴비 탐색 및 촬영 후 관리상태 및 적재량 변화를 파악함으로써, 수계에 미치는 영향을 판단하기 위한 기초자료를 확보하고자 한다. 지상 LiDAR를 기준으로 정확도를 비교분석한 결과 DSM(Digital Surface Model)에 대해 약 0.21m 이내의 차이를 보이며 적재량의 정확도는 93.24%로 나타나, UAV 영상을 이용하여 야적퇴비의 적재량을 산출하고 활용하기에 충분하다고 판단된다. UAV를 활용하여 야적퇴비의 관리상태를 확인할 수 있었으며, 총 야적 퇴비 적재량은 $1,172.16m^3$, $1,461.66m^3$, $1,350.53m^3$순으로 나타나 야적퇴비 적재량 변화를 파악할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 UAV를 활용하여 효율적인 비점오염원 관리에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
