Seonakdong river consists of stagnant sections whose flowrate is controlled by the Daejeo and Noksan gates. As a result, there is not a minimum flow during normal times. The Daejeo and Noksan gates are located at the upstream head and the downstream end of Seonakdong river, respectively. Seonakdong river is an estuarine tributary of Nakdong river, which is a reservoir-like river used for agricultural irrigation, with the gate at the estuary of the river to prevent the intrusion of saline. Since the construction of the water gates, the water quality of the river has become degraded. This could also be due to the internal loading of pollutants, especially nutrients, from the sediments of the river because of the elongated detention time by the water gates. This study was thus conducted for the purpose of evaluating the current hydrologic-cycle system and providing measures for the rehabilitation of the hydrologic cycle. In this research, the daily outflow in Seonakdong River was simulated using the SWAT and SWMM models, and the water quality concentration including BOD, SS, TN, and TP were analyzed. The possibility of the application of SWAT-SWMM hybrid simulation was determined through the verification of both models. The error analysis shows that the results of both SWAT and SWAT-SWMM simulations make good agreements with those of field observations. For the single simulation results of SWAT, $R^{2}$ and NSE are 0.758, 0.511, respectively. For the hybrid simulation results of SWAT-SWMM, those are 0.880, 0.452, which means that the hybrid simulation can give more accurate results for the watershed where both the agricultural and urban areas exist.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility to apply the Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor(MBBR) in the activated sludge treatment process with existing aerobic HRT. Optimal operation conditions were assumed according to the analysis of organic matter and nutrients removal efficiencies depending on loading variations. The process was operated under different conditions: RUN I(HRT=7.14hr, $I{\cdot}R=100%$), RUN II(HRT=6.22hr, $I{\cdot}R=100%$), RUN III(HRT=6.22 hr, $I{\cdot}R=150%$), RUN IV(HRT=6.22hr, $I{\cdot}R=200%$), the TBOD removal efficien cies are 88%, 88.5%, 94.6%, 97.6%, respectively. Overall TSS removal efficiency is 90%, and it is increasing in RUN IV. In the case of Nitrogen, the highest removal efficiency of 90% was observed in RUN III and RUN IV, Nitrification and Denitrification rates are 0.013-0.016kg $NH_3-N/kg$ Mv-d and 0.009-0.019kg $NO_3/kg$ Mv-d, respectively. Phosphorus removal efficiencies are 89.6% in RUN I, 91.5% in RUN II, 84.3% in RUN III, and 76.4% in RUN IV. The process under shorter SRT yields better performance in terms of phosphorus removal. It was noticed that to achieve the effluent phosphorus concentration ofless than 1mg/L and removal efficiency higher than 80%, SRT should not be longer than 10 days. Experimental result shows that HRT of 6.22 hours is suitable for this treatment process, and, as a result, the aerobic reactor including moving media and DO depletion tank have a sufficient effect to the process performance.

It is often believed that a more complex water quality model is better able to simulate reality. The more complex a model, however, the more parameters are involved thus increases the cost and uncertainty of modeling processes. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of two steady-state river water quality models, QUAL2E and QUAL-NIER, that have different complexity. QUAL-NIER is recently developed by National Institute of Environmental Research aiming to enhance the simulation capability of QUAL2E for eutrophic rivers. It is a carbon based model that considers different forms, such as dissolved versus particulate and labile versus refractory, of carbon and nutrients, and the contribution of autochthonous loading due to algal metabolism. The models were simultaneously applied to Nakdong River and their performance was evaluated by statistical verification with field data. Both models showed similar performance and satisfactorily replicated the longitudinal variations of BOD, T-N, T-P, Chl.a concentrations along the river. The algal blooms occurred at the stagnant reaches of downstream were also reasonably captured by the models. Although QUAL-NIER somewhat reduced the magnitude of errors, the hypothesis tests revealed no statistical evidence to justify its better performance. The contribution of autochthonous carbon and nutrient load by algal metabolism was insignificant because the hydraulic retention time is relatively short compare to the time scale of kinetic reactions. The results imply that the kinetic processes included in QUAL-NIER are too complex for the nature and scale of the real processes involved, thus needs to be optimized for improving the modeling efficiency.

One of the most important factors that cause eutrophication is nutrient materials containing nitrogen and phosphorus which stem from excreation of terrestial sources and release from sediment. Therefore, to improve water quality, the reduction of these nutrients loads should be indispensible. At this study, the three-dimensional numerical hydrodynamic and ecosystem model, which was developed by Institute for Resources and Environment of Japan, were applied to analyze the processes affecting the eutrophication. The residual currents, which were obtained by integrating the simulated tidal currents over 1 tidal cycle, showed the presence of a typical counterclockwise eddies between Gyewha and Garyuk island. Density driven currents were generated westward at surface and eastward at the bottom in Saemankeum area where the fresh waters are flowing into, The ecosystem model was calibrated with the data surveyed in the field of the study area in annual average. The simulated results were fairly good coincided with the observed values within relative error of $30\%$. The simulations of DIN and DIP concentrations were performed using ecosystem model under the conditions of $40\~100\%$ pollution load reductions from pollution sources. In study area, concentration of DIN and DIP were reduced to $59\%$ and $28\%$ in case of the $80\%$ reduction of the input loads from fresh water respectively. But pollution loads from sediment had hardly affected DIN and DIP concentration, The $95\%$ input load abatement is necessary to meet the DIN and DIP concentration of second grade of ocean water quality criteria.

This study evaluates the water quality of the river near the alpine farmland in the upper Naerin stream, which is a typical stream of the upper Bukhan River with muddy water generation, by the flow examination, it aims to estimate the characteristics of nonpoint sources flowing out from the investigated area and figure out effective methods to reduce them. According to the result of water quality examination, the average BOD of the area not affected by the cultivated land among the areas of the upper Naerin River was 0.47mg/l, and total phosphorous was 0.007mg/l; thus, it maintained the cleanliness level of Ia. The average BOD of the area with the alpine farmland was 0.52mg/l, which was similar to the one of the non-cultivated land. But total phosphorous concentration was 0.023mg/l, which was more than three times higher than the area belonging to level II due to the effect of fertilizer ingredients discharged from the cultivated land. About the loadings of the investigated area generated from each of the pollution sources, BOD was 878.5kg/day and total phosphorous was 79.7kg/day. Moreover, for the load density, BOD was $2.22kg/day.km^2$ and total phosphorous was shown as $0.20kg/day.km^2$. Regarding the rates generated from nonpoint sources like land among the loadings per pollution sources, BOD was 54%, total nitrogen was 91%, and total phosphorous was 73.4%. Therefore, it was shown that most of the nutrients were produced from the nonpoint sources. The level of BOD runoff loading in the Jaun River area, where nonpoint sources were mainly generated, was 37.1kg/day and total phosphorous was 1.33kg/day. The flow rates to the generated amount were estimated as 10.5% and 4.7% each.

Continuous increase of domestic meat consumption has inevitably increased generation of livestock manure and caused severe environmental impacts on ecosystem and human beings. This work produced biochar from cattle manure samples with different composting aging stages and investigated the properties of the produced biochar. The result of thermogravimetric analysis showed that thermal decomposition of the manure initiated at <600℃. The biochar yield was higher for the manure with a longer pre-composting period due to the elimination of microbially metabolized carbons during composting process. The result of FT-IR analysis showed that the number of surface functional groups were reduced during pyrolysis while enhancing the graphitic structures of the carbon framework. Manure samples tended to leach out N and P in leaching tests, with its amount higher for aged one than fresh one. However, their leaching was substantially suppressed when the manure was produced into biochar. In XPS spectra, it was found that N and P in the manure incorporated into biochar surface to form N-doped graphitic carbon and P-N-moieties, respectively. The findings of this work suggest that the thermochemical process can be of a viable option to valorize into biochar for potential environmental applications as well as to alleviate undesired nutrients loading to the environment.

수자원관리에 중요한 육수학적 정보를 제공하기 위해 1993년 6월에서 1994년 5월까지 주암호에 대하여 월간 조사를 실시하였다. 표층의 투명도, 엽록소 a, 총질소, 총 인농도 및 일차생산력은 조사기간 각각 1.7${\sim}$4.5 m, 0.9${\sim}$12.5 mgChl/m$^{3}$, 0.53${\sim}$1.48 mgN/l, 6${\sim}$29 mgP/m$^{3}$, 304${\sim}$2,549mgCm$^{-2}$day$^{-1}$로 이들의 하계 평균농도로 산정한 주암호의 영양상태는 중영양호로 해당된다. 유역으로부터의 인 유입은 집중호우시에 다량 유입되기 때문에 총인 농도도 하계에 높고 동계에 낮다. 주암호의 연간 수면적당 인부하량은 0.94gPm$^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$로 부영양화 임계부하량(1.0gPm$^{-2}$yr$^{-1}$)에 거의 근접하고 있다. 주암호에서 식물플랑크톤에 대한 제한영양소 조사결과 인과 질소가 동시에 성장을 제한하는 요소로 나타났다. 식물플랑크톤군집의 계절별 천이양상은 온대호수의 일반적 경향과 같이 동계에 춘계에는 규조류(Asterionella formosa, Aulacoseira granulata var. angustissima)가 우점하였고, 하계에는 남조류(Microcystis aeruginosa, M. sp., M. viridis)가 우점하였다. 동물플랑크톤은 요각류 유생이 연중 우점하였고 8월에는 요각류 유생 이외에 지각류인 Bosminopsis longirostris가 각각 우점하였다. 조사기간 주암호 퇴적물의 조사 정점별 유기탄소 및 인, 질소의 평균 함량은 각각 9.5${\sim}$14.0 mgC/g, 1.0${\sim}$1.82mgP/g, 0.51${\sim}$0.65mgN/g의 분포를 보여주었다. 주암호 유역으로부터의 유기물 유입량은 1,222 tonC/yr이며 식물플랑크톤의 일차생산에 의한 자체생성유기물량은 6,718 ton/yr으로 전체 유기물부하량중 자체생성 유기물 비율이 대부분을 차지했다. 주암호의 부영양화를 방지하기 위해 앞으로의 유역관리는 점오염원의 관리와 더불어 비료사용량의 축소, 축산분뇨의 적절한 처리, 토양유실방지등 유역의 비점오염원에 대한 관리에 더욱 집중해야 할 것으로 보인다.

서해안의 신도시 및 산업단지 근교에 위치한 인공 시화호에서 유입지천 부근의 상류쿠터 최하류의 수문부근까지 3~8개 지점에서 1994년~1999년에 걸쳐 수환경 오인을 매월 1~2회 조사하였다. 환경요인은 연평균 $COD_{Mn}$, 엽록소 $\alpha$, 총질소, 총인농도 및 투명도가 각각 5.2~15.1mg/L, $7.3~148.1\;\mu\textrm{g}$/L, 1.50~4.48 mgN/L, 0.055~0.281 mgP/L 및 0.5~1.4 m로서 중영양단계에서 과영양단계까지의 수질을 보였다. 시화호가 조성된 1994년부터 1997년 3월 이전까지의 수질은 외부 또는 내부의 저층으로부터 부하되는 오염물질이 지속적으로 호소내에 축적되어 극도로 악화되었다. 수질오염은 연중 식물플랑크톤이 대발생하는 생물학적 현상으로 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 반면에 1997년 3월부터 1999년까지는 다양한 수질개선대책의 시행으로 빠른 속도의 수질회복이 관찰되었고, 1999년의 수질은 담수화 초기의 수질로 회복된 것으로 조사되었다. 시화호의 수질회복은 1997년 7월부터 시행한 해수유통에 의해 가장 큰 효과를 보였고, 1997년 3월부터 운영한 반월공단 및 시화공장의 차집수로에 의한 유입부하량 저감으로 수질회복효과를 더욱 향상시킨 것으로 평가되었다.
