Pollution by chemical substances such as POPs, EDCs and PBTs in the ecosystem has become more complex and varied, increasing the possibility of irreversible damage to human health or the ecosystem. It is necessary to have a exposure assessment in a multi-media environment for various chemical substances is required for efficient management. This study applied MUSEM(Multi-media Simplebox-systems Environmental Model), a multimedia environmental model that can simultaneously evaluate the possibility of exposure of hundreds of chemical substances in order to efficiently manage chemical substances that can have negative impact on human health or ecological environment through environmental contamination. MUSEM executed the modeling for Japan by setting all 47 prefectures of japan as the regional area for 62 chemical substances and the rest of the territory of japan, excluding regional area, as the continental area and made the estimation of concentration among environment media in each administrative area and made the sensitivity analysis on Tokyo area. The results of simulation for chemical distribution showed that most of the target chemicals located in water region. The result of sensitivity analysis for octanol-water partition rate showed that the concentration change of soil in urban/industrial area and sediment in freshwater was high. In the case of sensitivity analysis for degradation rate showed that the concentration change of freshwater, soil in urban/industrial area, and sediment in freshwater was high.

Water quality of Oseepchun, Dogye area, was investigated quantitatively for its origin and hydrogeochemistry in relation to the influence of groundwater. Groundwater appears to be the principal source of Oseepchun from the water-quality monitoring data including redox potentials, composition of dissolved ions and their correlations, hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopic ratios, and the distribution and occurrence of contaminants. Water-quality type of the surface water was grouped by the water-rock interactions as $Ca-HCO_3$ type originated from carbonated bed-rocks in the Joseon Supergroup, (Ca, Mg)-$SO_4$ type related with dissolution of surfide minerals in coal beds of Pyeongan Supergroup, and (Ca, Mg)-($HCO_3$, $SO_4$) type of the mixed one. Locally water pollution occurs by high $SO_4$ from mine drainage and $NO_3$ from waste-treatment facility. Intensive precipitation in summer has no effect on the water type of Oseepchun, but increases the inflow of nitrate and chloride originated from land surface. Results of this study direct that groundwater-surface water interaction is intimate, and thus surface-water resource management should begin with groundwater characterization.

Research trend about nonpoint pollution source(NPS) that have studied since 1980 was divided into 4 categories: 1) runoff characteristics of NPS, 2) treatment technique, 3) LID and green infrastructure(GI), 4) management practices and policy. This study reviews them and recommends the future research direction. The research on runoff characteristics of NPS until 2010 was mainly carried out. But recently, many researchers has been conducting studies on technology development, effect evaluation and field application. Providing best measures on NPS should be tried to conduct studies that many fields such as society, geography, meteorology and environment are fused. But it has not been enough yet. Because the cause material and optimum measures of NPS are different from each other regionally, it is considered that it needs studies to prepare measures and guidelines with regional characteristics rather than a uniform measures and guidelines by the central government. In addition, more comprehensive studies must be carried out to establish rules and regulations to manage NPS not only by government sector but also the private sector.

Interceptor sewer is installed underground near to the river side mostly ofstate-owned land and the management efficiency of public sewage disposal facilities is decreasing as too much infiltration/inflow(I/I) and river flow to interceptor sewer are caused by broken or deteriorated sewer. This also affects the sewer pipeline project and decreases its efficiency. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate interceptor sewer which has influence on the reduction of the project effect. The investigation were performed for three study areas. The study includes the investigation of current condition of interceptor sewer(sewer extension, pipe diameter, pipe type, installed year, installed locations, etc), investigation of inside of sewer by CCTV accompanied by pumping and dredging works where required, investigation of inside of manholes by eyes, calculation of pollutant load using the results of investigation of flow quantity and quality. Multipoint investigations were simultaneously performed for flow quantity at confluence area and other investigations were also performed for flow quantity and BOD for interceptor sewer and comparison of pollutant load, investigation of infiltration/inflow(I/I) caused by deterioration of interceptor sewer. As the result of the study, a main reason for reduced effect of sewer pipe improvement project was analyzed as the low-density sewage and I/I in public seweage treatment Facility due to deteriorated and unmanaged interceptor sewers.

This paper describes the changes of characteristics of pig slurry according to storing depth. Most of the substances containing pollutants, such as were Management of manure and wastewater from animal confinement facilities is a critical factor for pollution control. With proper treatment processing method in both solid and liquid forms, it can be used as a fertilizer and soil conditioner. In Korea, liquid-manure handling system is very popular because its treatment and application is easy and labor saving. In the storage tank treatment, the period of fermentation process and solids-liquid separation averages six months and the supernatant liquid is being used as a fertilizer. In this study, the changes in chemical characteristics of pig slurry at varying depths of the storage tank were investigated. Results showed that the pH value of the fermented pig slurry was > 7, while the major pollutants such as BOD, SS, N and P were highest in the bottom of the tank. Therefore, the above findings proved that varying depths in the storage tank can influence the concentration of pollutants of the fermented pig slurry.

In this study, the 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was performed in relation to the internal fluid characteristics, flow distribution, air mean ages, and residence time for the development of the most optimal model in the complex post-disposal device. As it is expected that a channeling (drift) would be made by the semi-dry reactor due to the large difference in the flow distribution by the compartment in the bag filter, a structural improvement should be urgently made for more uniformed flow distribution in the bag filter. In addition, it showed the possibility that the velocity field and distribution characteristics of the residence time could be improved through a modification to inlet structure of the spray dryer reactor. The complex post-disposal device, modified and supplemented with this analysis, integrated the semi-dry reactor and the bag filter in a single body, so it follows that the improvement can make the device compact, the installation area, the operation fee, and management more convenient.

Urban sewer systems has a limitation of capacity of rainwater storage and problem of occurrence of untreated sewage, so adopting a storage facility for sewer flooding prevention and urban non-point pollution reduction has a big attention. The Korea Ministry of Environment has recently introduced a new concept of "multi-functional storage facility", which is crucial not only in preventive stormwater management but also in dealing with combined sewer overflow and sanitary sewer discharge, and also has been promoting its adoption. However, reserving a space for a single large-scale storage facility might be difficult especially in urban areas. Thus, decentralized construction of small- and midium-sized storage facilities and its operation have been introduced as an alternative way. In this paper, we propose a model predictive control scheme for an optimized operation of distributed storage facilities and sewer networks. To this aim, we first describe the mathematical model of each component of networks system which enables us to analyze its detailed dynamic behavior. Second, overflow locations and volumes will be predicted based on the developed network model with data on the external inflow occurred at specific locations of the network. MPC scheme based on the introduced particle swarm optimization technique then produces the optimized the gate setting for sewer network flow control, which minimizes sewer flooding and maximizes the potential storage capacity. Finally, the operational efficacy of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated by simulation study with virtual rainstorm event.

The land use in suburban area has been changed rapidly due to the urban expansion in Korea during the last few decades. And such land use changes result in various environmental problems such as biodiversity decrease, habitat fragmentation, air pollution and urban heat island. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) can be used for land cover change detection to understand the impact and trend of the land use change. Change detection is the process of identifying differences in the state of an object or phenomenon by observing it at different times and it can provide quantitative and comparative information for the land use/cover change. RS is less expansive than field survey for producing land use maps, and can be accessed quickly and repetitively for large area. Also it can be used for change detection using multi-temporal land use/cover by accumulated data. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to detect and quantitatively evaluate urban land cover change in urban stream watershed area for the last few decades and ultimately to provide the basic data for urban land use planning and management.

본 연구에서는 소유역 내 오염원 현황에 따른 발생부하와 배출부하를 분석하고자 하였다. 대상유역은 경상북도 영천시 북안천 일대이며, 소유역을 6개의 세유역으로 구분하여 발생부하와 배출부하를 산정하였다. 오염원 현황자료는 2013년 전국오염원 조사자료를 기초로 하였으며, 행정구역 단위의 오염원 조사 및 행정구역과 유역의 경계가 일치 하지 않는 경우의 오염원별 점유율은 토지종합정보망(Land Management Information System, LMIS)의 연속지적도 자료를 이용하여 면적비로 산정하였다. 대상유역의 전체 인구는 총 5,140명이며, 이 중 시가 인구가 2명, 비시가 인구가 5,138명으로 나타났다. 생활계 오염원은 소유역 별 인구를 분석한 결과, FW-'1은 3,113명, FW-'2는 298 명, FW-'3은 604 명, FW-'4는 836 명, FW-'5는 283 명, 그리고 FW-'6은 6 명으로 분석되었다. FW-'1의 인구는 총 3,113명으로 대상유역에서 가장 많은 인구가 분포하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 축산계 오염원은 FW-'1 지점에 총 115 가구의 농가가 위치하여 소유역 중 가장 많은 축산 농가가 위치하고 있으며. 가축 사육 두수는 돼지 8,040두, 젖소 394두, 한우 1,587두, 사슴 10두 그리고 가금(기타) 수가 292,158두로 다른 지점들과 비교하여 사육 두수가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. FW-'2 지점은 돼지 1,350두가 있는 돼지 농가가 1가구 위치하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. FW-'3 지점은 돼지 14,692두, 한우 1,287두, 가금(기타) 100두가 있으며, 축산 농가는 총 42가구가 위치하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 지점들과 비교하여 돼지 사육 두수가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났다. FW-'4 지점의 가축현황은 돼지가 900마리, 한우 1,222 마리이며, 총 57개의 농가가 위치하고 있고, 이 중 돼지 농가는 1가구이며, 그 외 56개의 농가는 모두 한우 농가이다. FW-'5 지점은 한우 407마리 가금(기타) 150마리가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, FW-'6 지점은 축산 농가가 존재하지 않는다. 또한 대상유역 내에는 총 14개의 산업체가 있으며, $800.33m^3/day$만큼의 폐수를 발생시키고 있다. 이중 FW-'1 지점 산업체 개수는 12개이며, 폐수 발생량은 $730.59m^3/day$로 가장 많은 양의 폐수가 발생하고 있다. 대상유역 내에는 산업계, 양식계, 매립계의 오염원은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 오염원 자료를 바탕으로 발생부하량과 배출부하량 산정결과 생활계와 축산계, 토지계 중축산계의 BOD, T-N, T-P 모두 가장 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 배출부하량 비교 결과에서도 BOD, T-N, T-P 모두 축산계 배출부하량의 비율이 높게 나타났으며, 이 중 BOD는 토지계 배출부하량이 차지하는 비율이 축산계 배출부하량보다 약간 높게 나타났다. T-N과 T-P는 축산계 배출부하량 비율이 가장 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 그러나 오염원의 정량적인 발생원 규명을 위해서는 오염원 그룹이 포함되어있는 지역에 대하여 장기적인 실측 모니터링을 통해 얻은 오염부하를 산정하여 비교?분석하는 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
