Nonpoint source pollution has become a concern for water quality in the Han River system, especially during the high runoff events during the monsoon season. The patterns in nonpoint source runoff the relationships with land use, rainfall intensity, and stream nutrients concentrations were surveyed in 19 streams in the Han River watershed. The results show that the magnitude of NPS inputs of nutrients and sediment in the Han River watershed are of a serious concern. In the South Han River watershed, event mean concentrations (EMC) for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), suspended sediment (SS), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved total phosphorus (DTP), total nitrogen (TN) Nitrate ($NO_3$-N) and total phosphorus (TP) were $1.94mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;251mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;2.75mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;0.076mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;2.82mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;2.40mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $0.232mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. In the North Han River watershed, EMCs for BOD, SS, DOC, DTP, TN, $NO_3$-N and TP were $1.34mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;172mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;2.63mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;0.032mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;1.97mg{\cdot}L^{-1},\;1.55mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ and $0.148mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$, respectively. The specific export coefficients of nutrient and sediments were much higher than those of other reports. Our study also found that the proportion of agricultural field area was significantly correlated with the EMCs for nutrients. Therefore, efforts to reduce NPS loading must focus on agricultural practices in the watershed. The relationships between land use and nutrient and sediment export found in this study can be used to derive estimates of runoff coefficients for agricultural field and as input data for modeling works and to develop total maximum daily load and best management practices in the Han River watershed.

This study is to assess the runoff characteristics of nonpoint source pollution loads for Jecheon and Jangpyeong stream watersheds located in the upstream of Chungju lake. The SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool), a physically based distributed hydrological model was calibrated and verified using 5 years (2006 to 2010) streamflow and water quality data. The Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency for streamflow was 0.60~0.92 and the determination coefficients for sediment, Total Nitrogen (T-N), and Total Phosphorous (T-P) were 0.53~0.71, 0.51~0.91 and 0.38~0.85 respectively. The results showed that the Sediment, T-N, and T-P of Jangpyeong stream were 40.0~60.9 %, 34.8~64.1 % and 76.5~83.9 % higher than Jecheon stream watershed during wet days. The results evaluated high NPS loads at Jangpyeong stream because the percentage of urban and upland crop cultivation area Jangpyeong stream watershed was higher than Jecheon stream watershed.

Sediment-laden water is problematic in aquatic ecosystem and for hydraulic structures in a watershed, and agriculture area in a watershed is one of source areas of nonpoint source (NPS), since soil surface typically exposures due to agricultural activities. Especially, severe sediment might flow into stream when agricultural area is located near stream like the Imha-dam watershed. Soil erosion is affected by precipitation, therefore there is a need to consider precipitation characteristics in soil erosion and best management practices (BMPs) simulation. The Web-based Spreadsheet Tool for the Estimation of Pollutant Load (STEPL WEB) allows estimating long-term sediment loads and the impact of best management practices to reduce sediment loads. STEPL WEB and predicted precipitation data by MIROC-ESM model was used to estimate sediment loads and its reduction by filter strip and conversion of agricultural area to forest in the future 30 years. The result indicates that approximately 70 % of agricultural area requires filter strip installation or that approximately 50 % of agricultural area needs to be converted to forest, for 41 % of sediment load reduction.

BACKGROUND: It is essential to prioritize the exact and clear understanding of agricultural nonpoint source pollution (NPS) controls. The realistic policies and systems should also be developed based on this understanding. Therefore, this study aimed to present agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) applicable for the fields based on the Delphi survey result. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study deduced the evaluation items to assess each BMP for agricultural NPS control and conducted the surveying using the Delphi method based on agricultural BMP experts. In addition, its on-the-spot application were evaluated. Considering its importance, technical, social and economic proprieties showed that political support was ranked first and followed by cost investment, labor investment, reduction effect and resident participation. The survey findings by agricultural BMP experts showed the good performance of on-the-spot application can be achieved from fertilization by soil testing, residue and green manure application and contour plowing which are applicable within a field. Agricultural BMPs, highly applicable for the fields, were the countermeasures that farmers who are the principal bodies of agricultural NPS control could be participated directly. CONCLUSION: The active participation of farmers is essential for effective control of agricultural NPS. It is necessary to establish various incentive systems.

The objective of this research was to experimentally test the effect of tillage methods on the reduction of runoff, non-point source (NPS) pollution load, sediment and discharge under a rainfall simulation. We used the runoff plots of $5m{\times}30m$ ($L{\times}W$) in size. Experimental treatments were conventional tillage (CT), CT-rice straw bundle (CT-RSB) and two no-till (NT) plots; slope of 3 % or 8 % ; and rainfall intensity of 30 mm/hr. The rainfall simulation was conducted to three times. The time to initial runoff from NT plots was less than that from CT plots regardless of the slope and it was delayed about 65~90 % compared to that of CT plot. And sediment discharge of 8 % slope reduced to 55 % compared to CT plot. But the sediment discharge was not occurred at 3 % slope. The NT and CT-RSB methods have a great possibility of reducing runoff and NPS pollution loads. Runoff rate of NT plots was significantly lower than those of CT plot. The average NPS pollution loads of the NT plots and CT-RSB plot reduced about 55~80 % and 2.1~40 % compared to those of the CT plots, respectively. It was also shown that runoff and NPS pollution loads reduction by NT method could be very significant and contribute to improve the water quality of streams in agricultural regions. It was concluded that the use of NT method on agricultural fields could reduce soil erosion and muddy runoff significantly and help improve the water quality and aquatic ecosystem.

현재까지 국내의 수질관리 정책은 점오염원 관리를 우선시 하고 있다. 그러나 계속되는 점오염원의 관리에도 불구하고 호소수의 수질은 악화되고 있다. 비점오염원은 강우 시 발생하는 오염원으로 토지이용에 따라 발생하는 오염물질의 종류와 양이 달라 불확실성이 큰 오염원이므로 점오염원과 함께 비점오염원의 관리가 필요한 실정이다. 다양한 토지이용 중에서 인공초지(공원 묘지) 지점이 차지하는 비율이 낮기 때문에 원단위를 산정하는데 필요한 기초 데이터에 대한 연구가 전무한 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구는 인공초지(공원 묘지) 지점으로부터 강우 시 유출수와 함께 발생하는 비점오염물질의 유출특성 및 상관성을 파악하였다. 그 결과 강우 초기에 오염물질의 농도는 비교적 높게 유출되는 현상을 나타냈으며, 강우가 지속될수록 오염물질의 농도는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 첨두유량이 발생하면서 유출농도는 증가하였다. 또한 통계분석을 실시한 결과 오염물질별 상관성이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 향후 부하량과 원단위 산정에 필요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The land use changes from non-urban areas to urban areas lead to the increased impervious areas, consequently increased direct runoff and higher peak runoff. Urban areas have also been recognized as significant sources of Nonpoint Source (NPS) pollution, while agricultural activities have been known as the primary sources of NPS pollution. Many features of the L-THIA/NPS GIS, L-THIA/NPS WWW system have been enhanced to provide easy-to-use system. The L-THIA model was applied to the Little Eagle Creek (LEC) watershed in Indiana to evaluate the accuracy of the model. The L-THIA/NPS GIS estimated yearly direct runoff values match the direct runoff separated from U.S. Geological Survey stream flow data reasonably. The $R^2$ and Nash-Sutcliffe values are 0.67 and 0.60, respectively. The L-THIA estimated runoff volume and total nitrogen loading for each land use classification in the LEC watershed were computed. The estimated runoff volume and total nitrogen loading in the LEC watershed increased by 180% and 270% for the 20 years. Urbanized areas -"Commercial", "High Density Residential", and "Low Density Residential"- of the LEC watershed made up around 68% of the 1991 total land areas, however contributed more than 92% of average annual runoff and 86% of total nitrogen loading. Therefore, it is essential to consider the impacts of land use change on hydrology and water quality in land use planning of urbanizing watershed.nning of urbanizing watershed.

도시지역은 인구가 집중되어 토지이용이 집약적이며 불투수면의 비율이 높아 강우시 비점오염에 의한 영향이 높은 지역이다. 비점오염원은 강우시 다양한 토지이용으로부터 발생되며 수계에 직접적인 영향을 미치고 오염물질의 종류와 양에 따라 불확실성이 높은 오염원이므로 점오염원과 함께 관리가 필요하다. 이러한 비점오염원을 관리하기 위한 방안으로 국내 외에서는 자연적인 기작을 이용한 비점오염원 관리기법인 저영향개발기법 (Low impact development, LID)을 도입하였으며 침투도랑, 식생체류지, 인공습지 등 다양한 요소기술이 포함된다. 이중 인공습지는 수질정화 (비점오염물질 저감)와 더불어 물을 저류하는 기능을 가진 친환경적인 시설로 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 비점오염원 관리를 위한 LID 기술의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었으며 도시지역에 조성된 두 종류의 인공습지를 운영한 결과를 분석하고 평가하고자 한다. 연구대상 인공습지는 HSSF형과 Hybrid형으로 두 시설 모두2010년에 조성되어 현재까지 운영 중에 있으며 본 논문에서는 2010년부터 2015년까지의 총 42회의 모니터링 결과를 이용하였다. 분석결과, 두 인공습지를 통해 강우유출유출량을 평균 37~41% 범위로 저감되였으며 오염물질별 저감효율의 경우 TSS는 63~79%, TN은 38~54%, TP는 54%, 중금속은 32~81% 범위로 나타나 도시지역내 인공습지 적용시 비점오염원 저감에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

최근 우리나라에서는 유역단위로 배출되는 오염원의 40% 이상을 차지하고 있는 비점오염원의 제어가 중요해졌다. 유역의 비점오염원제어를 위해 전세계적으로 인공습지가 많이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비점오염원 제어를 위한 현장실험을 2002년 6월부터 2004년 6월까지 실시하였다. 인공습지와 유수지가 하나의 시설로써 각각 4개씩 조성되어있으며, 면적은 0.88 ha이다. 습지의 식생은 식재를 하지 않고, 자연적 활착을 유도하였으며, 3번의 생장기를 거친 2004년도 식생조사 결과 각 습지별로 평균 약 90% 정도의 식생피도를 나타내었다. $BOD_5$, TSS, TN, TP의 평균 제거율은 각각 5.6%, 46.6%, 45.7%, 54.8%로 나타났다. $BOD_5$의 제거율은 낮게 나타났는데, 이는 유입수의 농도가 낮기 때문에 제거효율이 낮게 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 유수지-습지의 배치가 습지-유수지 배치보다 전체적으로 더 좋은 수질을 나타내었다. 일차반응모형 (First-order analysis)결과 TP는 온도에 많은 영향을 받지 않으며, $BOD_5$와 TSS는 TN보다는 온도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과 인공습지는 유역에서 유입되는 비점오염원의 처리시설로 효과적인 것으로 생각된다.

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.
