Handling the emergency problems such as Chemobyl accident require real time prediction of pollutants dispersion. One-point real time sounding at pollutant source and simple model including turbulent-radiation process are very important to predict dispersion at real time. The stability categories obtained by one-dimensional numerical model (including PBL dynamics and radiative process) are good agreement with observational data (Golder, 1972). Therefore, the meteorological parameters (thermal, moisture and momentum fluxes; sensible and latent heat; Monin-Obukhov length and bulk Richardson number; vertical diffusion coefficient and TKE; mixing height) calculated by this model will be useful to understand the structure of stable boundary layer and to handling the emergency problems such as dangerous gasses accident. Especially, this simple model has strong merit for practical dispersion models which require turbulence process but does not takes long time to real predictions. According to the results of this model, the urban area has stronger vertical dispersion and weaker horizontal dispersion than rural area during daytime in summer season. The maximum stability class of urban area and rural area are 'A' and 'B' at 14 LST, respectively. After 20 LST, both urban and rural area have weak vertical dispersion, but they have strong horizontal dispersion. Generally, the urban area have larger radius of horizontal dispersion than rural area. Considering the resolution and time consuming problems of three dimensional grid model, one-dimensional model with one-point real sounding have strong merit for practical dispersion model.

Due to the impermeability of outer wall facilities such a Breakwaters which dissipates the wave energy and keeps harbor tranquility, the water exchange can be worse and increased enclosed at the harbor. Recent trends of port development protect water quality and emphasize Water-Front, so the method which enhances the circulation of harbor waters and the dilution of the water pollutants are studied. The best improvement of water quality is a remove of pollutant source on land, but an enclosed port must be enhanced the tidal exchange. To this hence, the best improvement may be made on drain-route on the existing outer wall facilities. In this study, the numerical computations were carried out to predict the circulation of harbor waters and the tidal exchange in the polluted harbor(Samchonpo-guhang) located at the east coast of South Sea. Computational models adopting FDM(Finite Difference Method) were used here and were already verified from the previous studies and ocean survey. As a result of this study, the tidal exchange in Samchonpo-guhang before and after installation of drain-route is assessed.

Colored dissolved organic matter(CDOM) is an important component of ocean color that can be used as an invaluable tool in water quality and ocean color studies. With the largest source of coastal CDOM appearing to be from freshwater discharge into the ocean, coastal predictive models will do much to refine our knowledge about major processes that control CDOM distributions in coastal waters and provide a better insight into the global carbon cycle. This study aims at developing a GIS-based watershed-scale predictive model of CDOM distributions in Neponset river watersheds that can be used to appraise our understanding of CDOM sources and distributions in coastal waters and predict the response of CDOM concentration to changes in land use patterns. Weighting factors are developed for CDOM freshwater sources after extensive groundtruthing from various landuse types in the watershed. This model makes use of a publicly available DEM(Digital elevation model) as the base data for analysis. Stream networks, discharge, and land use data are used from public repositories while sub- watershed delineation, pour-points, and land use parcels are generated using Spatial Analysis of ArcGIS 9.2 to estimate the CDOM loading from various sources to the lower tributaries of rivers. The Neponset Watershed in eastern Massachusetts is selected as the site for development of the model.

We have examined the effect of rice straw mat (RSM) on the reduction of non-point source (NPS) pollution loads at soybean cultivations. The slope of the experimental plot was about 3 %. Monitoring was carried out for four years at conventional tillage (CT) in 2008~2009 years and RSM covered tillage in 2010~2011 years. Thirty-two rainfall events were monitored and analyzed during the study period. During the 2 years of 2008 and 2009, 20 rainfall runoff events were monitored. But in 2010 years, only 2 rainfall runoff events could be monitored. And in 2011 years, 10 rainfall runoff events was monitored. It was because the RSM cover enhanced infiltration and reduce runoff in 2010 and 2011. Average NPS pollution load (organic matters) of the RSM covered field was reduced by 72.1~94.2 % compared to that of CT field. NPS pollution load of TN and TP reduced by 67.5 % and 55.7 %, respectively. Especially, SS pollution load was reduced by 97.3 %. Based on the results, rice straw mat cover was considered as a promising best management practices (BMP) to reduce NPS pollution load. However, it was recommended that the results are limited to the field conditions and the same experiments must be performed on different soil textures, slopes, and crops if it is applied to the development of policies.

A Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) are themselves a significant source of water pollution. Therefore, the control of urban drainage for CSOs reduction and receiving water quality protection is needed. Examples in combined sewer systems include downstream storage facilities that detain runoff during periods of high flow and allow the detained water to be conveyed by an interceptor sewer to a centralized treatment plant during periods of low flow. The design of such facilities as stormwater detention storage is highly dependant on the temporal variability of storage capacity available (which is influenced by the duration of interevent dry periods) as well as the infiltration capacity of soil and recovery of depression storage. As a result, a continuous approach is required to adequately size such facilities. This study for the continuous long-term analysis of urban drainage system used analytical probabilistic model based on derived probability distribution theory. As an alternative to the modeling of urban drainage system for planning or screening level analysis of runoff control alternatives, this model have evolved that offer much ease and flexibility in terms of computation while considering long-term meteorology. This study presented rainfall and runoff characteristics of the subject area using analytical probabilistic model. This study presented the average annual COSs and number of COSs when the interceptor capacity is in the range $3{\times}DWF$ (dry weather flow). Also, calculated the average annual mass of pollutant lost in CSOs using Event Mean Concentration. Finally, this study presented a decision of storage volume for CSOs reduction and water quality protection.

Recent progress in state-of-the-art geospatial information technologies such as digital mapping, LiDAR(Light Detection And Ranging), and high-resolution satellite imagery provides various data sources fer Digital Elevation Model(DEM). DEMs are major source to extract elements of the hydrological terrain property that are necessary for efficient watershed management. Especially, watersheds extracted from DEM are important geospatial database to identify physical boundaries that are utilized in water resource management plan including water environmental survey, pollutant investigation, polluted/wasteload/pollution load allocation estimation, and water quality modeling. Most of the previous studies related with watershed extraction using DEM are mainly focused on the hydrological elements analysis and preprocessing without considering grid size of the DEMs. This study aims to analyze accuracy of the watersheds extracted from DEMs with various grid sizes generated by LiDAR data and digital map, and appropriate preprocessing methods.

청미천 유역은 다양한 수계로 구성된 대유역에 해당되며 농업 및 공업활동에 따른 오염원을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 오염원 중 비점오염원이 가지는 특성을 기후변화 시나리오에 따라 모의 및 분석한다. 비점오염원의 모의를 위해서는 SWAT 모형이 이용된다. 기후변화 시나리오로는 RCP4.5 및 RCP8.5 시나리오가 적용된다. SWAT 모형은 유역 모의를 위한 모형으로 대규모의 복잡한 유역에서의 장기간 모의를 수행할 수 있으며 다양한 조건의 토양 및 토지이용 상태를 고려할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 강유-유출모형과 수질모형 등을 GIS와 연계한 호환모형을 이용하며 유출에 따른 비점오염원의 거동을 해석하고자 한다. SWAT 모형을 이용한 모의를 위해 필요한 매개변수는 관측소 현황, 강우, 기온, 습도, 일사량, 풍속 등이다. 이중 일사량에 대한 정보를 가정하여 본 연구를 수행하였고 나머지 매개변수는 청미천 유역의 특성치를 조사하여 입력하였다. 청미천 유역의 수질 오염원에 대한 기여도를 분석하기 위해서 시설용량이 일정 크기 이상인 하수처리장을 조사하였고, 이에 대한 정보가 모의시 검토되었다. 청미천 유역 전체 오염원에 대한 점오원의 비율을 검토한 결과 홍수기에 점오염원의 영향이 낮다는 점을 확인할 수 있다. 이는 홍수기에 불특정 지점에서 유출되는 비점오염원의 기여도가 큰 것으로 이해할 수 있다. 하지만 소규모 산업단지의 배출량 등에 대한 자료가 보완될 때 보다 신뢰성 있는 모의 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 총질소와 총인의 경우에도 하계 홍수기에 크게 증가하는 사실을 확인할 수 있으며 부유물질의 경우는 그 변동 폭이 다른 항목에 비해 크게 나타나며 9월에도 증가하는 경향을 나타낸다. 본 연구를 보다 고도화하기 위해서는 다양한 알고리즘을 통해 매개변수를 보정하는 과정이 필요하며 점오염원을 포함하여 다양한 오염원에 대한 정확한 정보가 구축되는 과정 역시 중요하다.

금호강 유역은 낙동강 유역에 위치한 22개 중권역에서도 본류에 유입되는 하천 규모가 크기 때문에 본류에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이로 인해 금호강에서 유출되는 유량과 비점오염원 부하량에 대한 정확한 분석이 반드시 필요한 상황이다. 더욱이, 기후변화로 인해 태풍이나 국지성 호우의 발생이 빈번해지고, 그 규모 역시 과거에 비하여 상당히 크기 때문에 각 유역에 대한 정확한 수문 및 수질 조사가 요구되고 있다. 점오염원에 의한 부하량은 강우량과 관계없이 발생되지만 비점오염원에 의한 부하량은 강우에 따른 유출 현상 때문에 매년 변동이 심하다. 도시지역의 경우 불투수 면적이 증가하고 있으며 지표면에 흡착된 오염물질들이 지표면을 통과하지 못하고 우수와 함께 하천으로 유입된다. 또한 도시화 산업화로 인해 교통량이 증가하면서 도로에 떨어진 기름, 타이어 분진 등이 강우 시 하천으로 유입된다. 특히 금호C지역의 공업단지의 경우 강우 유출수에 고농도의 오염물질이 혼입되어 있으며, 지표면에 퇴적되는 오염물질의 양도 주거지역보다 훨씬 높으며 강우 시 유독한 수질오염물질이 일시에 다량으로 하천에 유입된다. 시가지는 차지하는 면적이 각 소유역당 $20km^2$이내로 크지 않지만 BOD, T-N, T-P 모든 항목에서 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났고, 산림은 가장 큰 면적을 차지하고 있지만 BOD를 제외한 항목에서 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 농경지의 경우 각 소유역당 $5{\sim}45km^2$의 면적을 차지하지만 전체적으로 영향을 많이 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 모두 T-N에 대한 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 금호강 유역은 상류에서는 농경지의 비율이 높아 비료나 토양침식에 의한 비점오염에 의한 오염이 큰 것으로 나타났고, 하류에서는 영천시, 대구광역시가 위치하고 있어 생활하수와 공업용폐수 등에 의한 점오염과 불투수 지역이 많아 우수와 함께 하천으로 유입되는 비점오염원에 의한 오염 모두 큰 것으로 나타났다. 금호강유역의 효율적인 비점오염관리를 위해서는 금호강 유역 상류지역의 농업지역과 하류지역의 도시지역에서 필요한 비점오염 부하량 감소 방안에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

The increasing international awareness regarding air pollutant reduction has resulted in increasing demand for eco-friendly ships; hence, electric ships are being actively developed by various countries. Presently, studies on electric ships are mainly focused on electric propulsion systems and electric motors. However, from the ship perspective, there are no studies on conceptual designs for coastal car ferries powered by removable power supply systems. In the present study, the main research consideration is regarding the conceptual design of a fully electrified car ferry using a battery-based removable system as the main power source. By analyzing the dimensions of more than 100 domestic coastal car ferries, the main criteria satisfying the requirements for developing a suitable vessel were derived, and a study on intact/damage stability was conducted considering the application of a removable battery truck. Further analyses of the problems concerning the conceptual design were also performed to derive solutions.

The issue of global warming and environmental pollutant has become an international concern due to the widespread use of fossil fuels, and thus waste heat recovery technologies has become important to improve energy utilization. The global market of power generation system using industrial waste heat is rapidly growing at an average rate of 5% due to its advantage of increasing energy efficiency. In order to design an optimal waste heat recovery system, it is necessary to develop a program that offers economic evaluation of each power generating technology according to the heat source conditions. In this paper, the economic analysis module to calculate LCOE is developed and verified the reliability against NETL economic analysis results. As a result of the verification, the error rate is about 6 ~ 7%, which satisfy the accuracy for business feasibility evaluation. In order to enhance the reliability, the module was improved by applying the levelization method used by NETL. As a result of the verification of reliability, the error rate is less than 1% and the accuracy is improved.
