Pollutant in watersheds comes from two major sources which are NPS (nonpoint source pollution) and PS (point source pollution). Most of the pollutant can be treated by wastewater treatment plants. However, wastewater treatment plants may not be an appropriate practice to improve water quality for the watersheds with large portion of NPS pollutant and NPS pollution from direct runoff and baseflow has different characteristics. Therefore the practices to improve water quality need to be comprehensive for pollutants by both direct runoff and baseflow. Riparian buffer, one of practices to manage pollutant in watershed, has been applied to reduce pollutant not only from direct runoff but also baseflow. In this study, the scenarios for pollutant reduction by wastewater treat plants and the nitrogen reduction by riparian buffer were simulated using SWAT-REMM to suggest an effective plan for pollutant reduction from baseflow. Riparian buffer provided nitrogen reduction of 0.2~75.0% in YbB watershed and 38.0~47.0% in GbA watershed. The result indicates that riparian buffer is effective to reduce the pollutant especially from baseflow, and it suggested as suitable for the a watershed which WWTP discharge is not capable to reduce enough pollutant.

This study was conducted to identify runoff characteristics of pollutants using flow duration curve(FDC) and load duration curve(LDC) in Youngbon A watershed during 2009~2011. A flow rate and pollutant load in the study watershed were estimated by equation of stage-discharge and discharge-loads rating curve. From these methods, BOD, T-N, and T-P have evaluated whether water quality standards would have attained. Results showed that BOD loads of about 50% plotted above the LDC, while T-N and T-P loads of about 50% plotted below the curve. It means that BOD of about 50% have exceeded the water quality criteria, while T-N and T-P of about 50% have complied with the water quality standards. Meanwhile, BOD, TN and T-P loads plotted above the LDC of low flows, implying that they were more affected by point pollution sources than nonpoint pollution sources in the study watershed.

This study was conducted to analyse the application of pollutant build-up model on various urban landuses and to characterize pollutant build-up on urban areas as a source of stormwater runoff pollution. The monitored data from impervious surfaces in urban areas such as commercial (8 sites), industrial (10 sites), road (8 sites), residential (10 sites), recreational (5 sites) from 2008 to 2016 were used for the analysis of pollutant build-up model. Based on the results, the average runoff coefficients vary from 0.35 to 0.61. In all landuses except recreational landuse, the runoff coefficient is 0.5 or more, which is the highest in the commercial area. Commercial landuse where pollutants occur at the highest EMC in all landuse, and it is considered that NPS management is necessary compared with other landuses. The maximum build-up load for organic matter (BOD) was highest in the commercial area ($4.59g/m^2$), and for particular matter (TSS) in the road area ($5.90g/m^2$) while for nutrient (TN and TP) in the residential area ($0.40g/m^2$, $0.14g/m^2$). The rate constants ranged from 0.1 to 1.3 1/day depending on landuse and pollutant parameters, which means that pollutant accumulation occurs between 1 and 10 days during dry day. It is clear that these build-up curves can generally be classified based on landuse. Antecedent dry day (ADD) is a suitable and reasonable variable for developing pollutant build-up functions. The pollutant build-up curves for different landuse shows that these build-up curves can be generally categorized based on landuse.

BACKGROUND: Recently, the inflow of nonpoint pollutants into rivers caused by rapid urban and industrialization promotes the proliferation of algae, which causes eutrophication of rivers. This study was conducted to evaluate the seasonal variation of water quality characteristics and cryptomonads growth in the Oncheon River. METHODS AND RESULTS: The water quality and distribution characteristics of cryptomonads in the Oncheon River were investigated monthly for 12 months from January 2021. The cell number of cryptomonads was intensively developed in January-April, and it decreased sharply in the summer with heavy rainfall. In particular, cryptomonads moved to the downstream side of the river depending on the time, and as a result, significant differences were shown for each investigation point. The Korean trophic state index (Tsi_KO) in Oncheon River was classified as eutrophy all year round, indicating that cryptomonads can grow year-round. Distribution characteristics of cryptomonads in Oncheon River showed high correlations with DO (r=0.678), BOD (r=0.826) and chlorophyll-a (r=0.613) in water. CONCLUSION(S): In order to reduce cryptomonads in the Oncheon River, it is judged that a complex countermeasure considering the residence time, insolation and precipitation along with water quality factors is required.

Constructed wetlands (CW) are artificially developed wetlands that are used to control water pollution. In central India, the field application of CW started on the late 1990s but are mostly focused on wastewater treatment. In this paper, different existing and experimental studies on constructed wetlands were reviewed to be able to determine the current status of wetlands in India to identify the type of CW that is more suitable in managing a specific target pollutant and type of wastewater. Wetlands were categorized into three types: vertical flow, horizontal flow, and hybrid while the wastewater were classified as domestic and industrial. Based on the review, 80% of constructed wetlands are used for treating domestic wastewater while 20% are treating industrial wastewater. Inflow analysis showed that industrial wastewater in hybrid constructed wetland produced the highest average concentration for parameters like COD (2851 mg/L) and BOD (5715 mg/L) while the lowest concentration was TN (13.97 mg/L) found in municipal wastewater. In terms of removing nonpoint source pollutants, it was revealed that vertical flow constructed wetlands (VFCW) are more effective at removing TSS and BOD as compared to horizontal flow constructed wetlands (HFCW) and hybrid constructed wetlands (HCW). HCW were found to be capable of efficiently removing COD and TN. Meanwhile, HFCW showed the highest TP removal among all the types of wetlands. In addition, VFCW were more effective for domestic wastewater while HCW are more effective for treating industrial wastewater. Lastly, there is currently a need to conduct further research on constructed wetlands for industrial wastewater as well as stormwater treatment to be able to gather more data and improve wetland design, performance, and maintenance.

This study investigated the chemical properties of Organic Soil Amendments (OSAs) made from organic waste. It also assessed the effectiveness of using these OSAs in the soil layer of Green Infrastructure (GI) to reduce stormwater runoff and non-point source pollutants. The goal was to improve the national environmental value through resource recycling and contribute to the circular economy transformation and carbon neutrality of urban GI. The OSAs used in this study consisted of spent coffee grounds and food waste compost. They were found to be nutrient-rich and stable as artificial soils, indicating their potential use in the soil layer of GI facilities. Applying OSAs to bio-retention cells and permeable pavement resulted in a reduction of approximately 11-17% in stormwater runoff and a decrease of about 16-18% in Total Phosphorus (TP) discharge in the target area. Increasing the proportion of food waste compost in the OSAs had a positive impact on reducing stormwater runoff and pollutant emissions. This study highlights the importance of utilizing recycled resources and can serve as a foundation for future research, such as establishing parameters for assessing the effectiveness of GI facilities through experiments. To enable more accurate analysis, it is recommended to conduct studies that consider both the chemical and biological aspects of substance transfer in OSAs.

본 연구의 목적은 삽교호 지역을 대상으로 오염물질에 따른 구역별 유달률을 산정하고 오염물질 부하량에 따른 유달특성을 조사하고자 한다. 삽교호 주변의 주요하천은 남원천, 도고천, 삽교천, 무한천, 곡교천이고 5개 주요하천의 강우 시 유달률과 그 특성을 조사되었다. 그 결과 삽교호 조사 유역 전체의 유달률 BOD는 0.40, 총질소(T-N)는 0.34, 총인(T-P)은 0.08이었고 T-P의 유달률은 다른 수질항목에 비교해서 상대적으로 낮게 조사되었다. 또한 유역 전반의 특성을 살펴보면 T-N과 T-P의 유달률은 연중 변화가 거의 없었다. T-N의 유달률은 갈수기 때에 0.2~0.3이었고 홍수기 때에는 0.31~0.39였다. T-P의 유달률은 갈수기에 0.3 이상, 홍수기 때에 0.11의 값을 나타내는데 이는 연평균 유달률인 0.08과 비슷한 값이다. 본 조사에서 계측한 각각의 유달률은 토지이용과 지형 특성이 유사한 지역의 유달률처럼 적용이 가능할 것이다.

도로는 높은 포장율과 자동차 운행으로 인하여 건기시 다양한 오염물질이 축적되며, 강우시 유출되어 수계에 환경수리학적 영향을 끼친다. 특히 도로노면은 아스팔트 또는 콘크리트로 포장되면서 거친 정도에 의한 오염물질의 축적과 유출정도가 다르다. 따라서 본 연구는 포장 재료에 따른 강우시 비점오염물질 유출특성을 분석하기 위하여 2012년도에 신규 개통한 구간에서 모니터링이 수행되었다. 강우 초기에 비점오염물질이 집중적으로 유출되는 초기강우현상은 포장재료와 관계없이 발생되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 노면과 자동차 타이어와의 마찰력이 큰 콘크리트 포장에서는 모든 수질오염항목에서 첨두농도가 높게 나타났다. 이러한 영향으로 인하여 TSS, 유기물과 영양염류의 유량가중평균농도(EMC, Event Mean Concentration)도 콘크리트 포장에서 높게 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 도로 포장방법이 수문학적 유출특성, 도로의 물리적 디자인 및 자동차의 운행대수 등과 함께 오염물질 유출에 크게 영향을 끼치는 중요한 인자라는 것을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 합성섬유로 충진된 바이오필터(FBF)와 우드칩으로 충진된 필터(WBF)로 구성된 수직흐름형 습지공정(BFS)의 처리성능을 평가하였다. BFS 시스템에서 단독 필터를 사용한 것보다 두개의 필터를 직렬로 결합한 경우 특히 질소제거에 탁월한 성능을 나타내었다. FBF 공정에서는 암모니아 질소 100%가 활발한 질산화 반응을 통하여 질산성 질소로 전환되었으며 후속 WBF에서 77%의 질산성 질소가 제거되어 우드칩이 제공하는 탄소가 탈질반응에 큰 영향을 끼치는 것으로 판명되었다. 바이오필터의 성능은 유입특성에 상관없이 독립적인 성능을 보였으며 인 제거에도 효과가 있었으나 종종 용출징후가 나타났으며 현장적용시에는 이와 같은 사항을 유념해야할 것으로 보인다. 한편 회귀식 분석결과 운전시간에 따른 바이오 필터내부의 미생물 증식상태를 간접적으로 암시해 주었다. 본 연구결과 질소제거 측면에서 본 연구에서 제안하고 있는 여재를 이용한 수직흐름형 직렬식 습지 공정은 전형적인 수직-수평흐름 습지와 비교하여 비용측면에서 많은 장점을 가지고 있다.
