수심이 얕고 부영양 호소인 L. Kasumigaura를 대상으로 퇴적층으로부터 유기물 용출특성을 조사하였다. 퇴적물의 함수율은 약 80%이상을 차지하고 있었으며 공극수의 DOC농도는 표층에서 높고 깊어질수록 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 특히 조사기간중 공극수의 DOC농도(104mg C/l)가 크게 증가하여 공극수로부터 수체로 용출 가능성이 높을 것으로 추정되었다. DOC 용출실험결과, 호기조건에서는 Labile-DOC (L-DOC)용출이 거의 관측되지 않았고 Refractory-DOC (R-DOC)만 관측되었으며, 혐기조건에서는 L-DOC와 R-DOC 모두 용출되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 퇴적층의 상부수층에 DO가 충분히 유지되면 L-DOC는 용출되어도 호기성 bacteria에 의해 쉽게 분해되기 매문에 R-DOC만 용출되는 것으로 조사되었으며, 혐기조건하에서는 혐기성 bacteria의 유기물 분해능력의 감소로 L-DOC와 R-DOC모두 용출되는 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 내부생성기원의 유기물중 퇴적층으로부터 R-DOC 용출은 수체의 유기물 농도를 증가시키는 주요 원인으로 나타났으며, 수중 유기물의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 R-DOC는 유기물순환에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다는 사실이 확인되었다.

This research investigates the runoff characteristics of refractory organic matters from Kyongan river watershed. Samples were taken 27 times during dry season, 4 times during rain events and analyzed into flow rate, Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), Particulate Organic Carbon (POC), Refractory Dissolved Organic Carbon (R-DOC), Refractory Particulate Organic Carbon (R-POC). R-DOC during dry season was the lowest in winter and showed a rising tendency in spring and R-POC changes less than R-DOC. The mass loading of Refractory Total Organic Carbon (R-TOC) in summer takes approximately 80% of 1 year mass loading. During rainy season, EMC of R-DOC was similar to R-DOC in dry season. But maximum EMC of R-POC was 12 times higher than that of R-POC in dry season. Results of the survey show that enhanced management of R-DOC in dry season and R-POC in rainy season is needed.

The seasonal and spatial changes in dissolved organic carbon(DOC) in Lake Kasumigaura, a shallow and eutrophic lake, were analyzed from October 1992 to October 1995. The proportion of T-DOC was classified by labile(L-DOC) and refractory DOC(R-DOC) on the basis of long-term incubation, fractionated the molecular weight of T-DOC by ultrafiltration. The porewater DOC were measured at sedimental surface of the central basin in order to evaluate the DOC released from the sediment. The proportion of L-DOC and R-DOC were accounted for about 15% and 85% of T-DOC in the central basin, respectively. The molecular weight(MW) distribution occupied some 60% of the low and medium MW. The horizontal variation of T-DOC concentrations trended to higher in the central basin than in the inlet of influent rivers, because of contribution by autochthonous organic carbon loading. The seasonal variation of T-DOC showed to higher summer than winter in the inlet of influent, but at the central basin it fluctuated little seasonally. During the high increase of porewater DOC in 1994 evaluated the high release possibility from the sediment surface (10cm). The present study suggests that autochthonous organic carbon loading must be controlled for improving the water quality of the eutrophic lakes.

In this paper, runoff characteristics of South-Han river watershed in terms of refractory organic matters were investigated. The concentrations of DOC, POC, R-DOC, R-POC in runoff and flow rates were determined by monitoring 27 times in dry season and 4 times in rainy season. The concentrations of the dissolved refractory organic matter, R-DOC was the lowest in fall and similar in the other dry seasons. The particulate refractory organic matter, R-POC showed less fluctuation than R-DOC. In summer, mass loading was the highest than other dry seasons. The concentrations of R-DOC, R-POC were showed to be affected by runoff volume. The mass loading grows higher as runoff volume gets higher.

This study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of dissolved orgamc matters based on their origins. The dissolved organic carbon(DOC) represents an index for dissolved organic matter and basically regarded as a source of organic pollution. The monthly variations and vertical profiles of dissolved organic carbon(DOC) in Kumoh reservoir were surveyed from May 2001 to April 2002. In addition, other areas such as river, reservoir, sewage and industrial wastewater were also surveyed in summer 2001. Kumoh reservoir was divided with depth into three layers .: epilimnion, metalimnion and hypolimnion. The proportion of total DOC(T-DOC) was classified by labile DOC(L-DOC) and refractory DOC(R-DOC) on the basis of long-term incubation. DOC of freshwater and Kumoh reservoir was ranged to be 1.6~4.1 mgC/L and 2.1~4.0 mgC/L, respectively. L-DOC accounted for 3~30% of DOC from watershed. Therefore, refractory dissolved organic carbon(R-DOC) was major component of DOC in the watershed. The decomposition rate(k) ranged from 0.008 $d^{-1}$ to 0.083 $d^{-1}$ in Kumoh reservoir. The highest decomposition rate(k) was observed at River Hoein III freshwater. Therefore, modified total organic carbon analyzer is needed to be applied for effective management of dissolved organic matter.

Changes of organic carbon after the entrance into dam reservoirs were investigated using water samples collected in May, September, and October in 2010 from the inflow sites and the outlets of four selected dam reservoirs-Soyang, Chungju, Chungju regulation, and Uiam. Increase of refractory dissolved organic carbon (R-DOC) was observed only for large dam reservoirs with long residence times whereas the trend was not found for relatively small reservoirs. The effects of residence times on organic carbon changes were further confirmed by significant positive correlations between monthly residence times and the relative increase of either dissolved organic carbon (DOC) or R-DOC concentrations. Comparison of spectroscopic characteristics of DOC revealed that the changes in the large reservoirs in May might result from in-lake processes. The inflow of terrestrial sources of DOM during storms appears to largely affect the DOC quality of the large reservoirs for the rest of the sampling periods. The mechanism, however, did not fully explain the behaviors of DOC for the small sized reservoirs. Our combined results suggested that both residence time and the input of allochthonous carbon sources might substantially influence the quantity of DOC as well as its quality in dam reservoirs.

In this study, changes in the composition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were investigated using water samples collected at a downstream site of the Namhan River near the Lake Paldang ($N37^{\circ}24^{\prime}05.33^{{\prime}{\prime}}E127^{\circ}32^{\prime}25.01^{{\prime}{\prime}}$) during a heavy rain event from July 23 to July 28, 2008. The DOC concentrations varied from 1.68 to 3.18 mg/L with the maxium value at a peak of the river water level. Each DOC sample was fractionated into three compositions including hydrophilic (Hi), hydrophobic acid (HoA) and hydrophobic neutral (HoN) fractions. The results showed that HoA was most abundant fractions, constituting 47.2~56.5% of DOC. Refractory dissolved organic carbon (R-DOC) contents were also determined by measuring the DOC concentration after 28-day dark incubation of the samples. R-DOC content was in the range from 83 to 99% of DOC and it was significantly correlated with HoA contents (r = 0.91, p<0.005), while it did not exhibit such a good correlation with the fractions of Hi and HoN (p>0.02). Our results suggest that the HoA, which is associated with humic substances, may be a major composition of refractory organic matters in rivers during storm events.

Seasonal and vertical distribution of water quality were investigated from May 2001 to June 2002 in Kumoh reservoir located nearby Kumi City, Kyungpook. Kumoh reservoir that lost the role of agricultural irrigation is currently of rapid eutrophication. The vertical distribution of DO was observed clinograde with hypolimnetic anoxic zone. T-P concentrations at the surface ranged from 0.008 to 0.152 mgP/L and T-N concentrations ranged from 1.4 to 3.0 mgN/L. The vertical and seasonal variation of T-N was smaller than T-P. DOC concentrations, indicator of organic matter pollution, ranged from 2.8 to 5.4 mgC/L. Apportionment of Total-DOC (T-DOC) indicated that 14% of T-DOC was attributed to Labile-DOC(L-DOC) and the rest was due to Refractory-DOC(R-DOC). The values of TSI(Trophic State Index) ranged between 44 and 52 indicating that Kumoh reservoir is under mesotrophic condition. The results of this study indicate that Kumoh reservoir is likely to be under influence of eutrophication and thus water quality will be aggravated. Therefore, the Kumoh reservoir requires further treatment to improve water quality and a plan of the reusing water resource should be developed.

This study was conducted to estimate the distribution characteristics and budget of organic matter in the Lake Hapcheon. In the dry season, the concentration ranges of organic carbons were similar, but in the rainfall season, it showed about double concentrations. Changes of vertical water quality in the lake, there were no big differences with the concentration by the depth. However, it tends to be relatively high on the surface, a little low on the mid-depth and high in the lake bottom. DOC rate at TOC, it was lower than POC rate at inflow and DOC rate was higher than POC rate in the lake and discharging water. R-DOC accounted for more 80% of DOC rate in all investigated areas, therefore we judge that this R-DOC is to increase the organic carbon pollution gradually. As the result of the calculated organic carbon budget in the Lake Hapcheon, the amount of allochthonous, autochthonous and release were 3,552, 3,288, 228 tonC/year, respectively. the amount of discharge, decomposition and sedimentation were 504, 1,344, 5,520 tonC/year, respectively. According to this investigation, the changed amount of organic matter in the Lake Hapcheon recorded -300 tonC/year with the increase of 7,068 tonC/year and the decrease of 7,368 tonC/year.

The fractionation characteristics of organic matter were investigated in inflow and effluent of each other pollution sources and river. While the DOC/TOC ratio in the influent of public sewage treatment plant and livestock disposal facilities was above 0.58, the POC/TOC ratio of human livestock Night soil treatment plant and stormwater runoff was more than 0.7. The TOC removal efficiency of public sewage treatment plant and human livestock Night soil treatment plant were 88.5 % and 99.6 %, respectively. Although the concentration distribution of organic matter pollution most of total organic carbon (TOC) in effluent of pollution sources accounted for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) type (DOC/TOC ratio >0.89) and Refractory-DOC (RDOC)/TOC ratio was higher (>0.65). The fractionation characteristics of organic matter in river were similar with that of sewage treatment plant and TOC concentration showed the positive correlation with DOC ($r^2=0.93$) and RDOC ($r^2=0.89$) concentration. The decay rate of Labile DOC (LDOC) (avg. $0.128day^{-1}$) was higher than labile particulate organic carbon (LPOC) ($0.082day^{-1}$), while that of DOC ($0.008day^{-1}$) was lower than POC ($0.039day^{-1}$) (paired t-test, p < 0.001, n = 5). These study results suggested that it should consider important both TOC and DOC as the target indicator to control refractory organic matter in pollution sources.
