Food and feeding habits of large cyprinid fishes (Labeobarbus intermedius, Labeobarbus nedgia, and Labeo forskalii) had been investigated in the upper Blue Nile River, Ethiopia. Four sampling sites were selected and specimens were sampled during the post-rainy (November 2016) and dry (March 2017) seasons by gillnets of 6 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm, and 14 cm mesh sizes. Totally 401 fishes were collected and about 30.4% (122) of the samples were documented with empty guts and 279 (69.6%) of them were with non-empty guts. The whole contents of all non-empty gut specimens were taken, labeled, and preserved using a 5% formaldehyde solution for further analysis. In the laboratory, gut contents were examined and identified using compound and stereo microscopes. The relative importance of different food items in the diet compositions was analyzed using a frequency of occurrence and volumetric analysis. During the post-rainy season, insects and phytoplankton were mostly ingested as food items. However, during the dry season, phytoplankton was the most important food item in the diet of all cyprinid fishes of the river. Based on current study results, L. intermedius and L. nedgia might be omnivores in their diet but Labeobarbus forskalii seemed to be detritivorous.

In order to evaluate the nutritive value of the forage plants in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, 266 samples (61 grasses and 65 legumes grown in the dry season, 60 grasses and 80 legumes grown in the rainy season) were collected from the highland and lowland in 1998 to 2000, and were subjected to the determination of chemical composition and digestibility. The least-squares analysis of variance demonstrated that the in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of grasses was not significantly affected by season or altitude. On the other hand, the some proximate components and cell wall components were significantly affected by season and altitude including the season${\times}$altitude interaction. For the legumes, the in vitro neutral detergent fiber digestibility (IVNDFD) and cellulose content were significantly affected by season. On the other hand, the ether extract (EE) content was significantly affected by season and altitude. The interaction of the season${\times}$altitude for IVDMD, of the year${\times}$season for some proximate components and of the year${\times}$season and the season${\times}$altitude for some cell wall components were significant. These results indicate that the forages grown at highland in dry season have a relatively high quality. The means of the total digestible nutrient (TDN) content estimated from IVDMD in grasses and in legumes were 50.3% and 57.4%, respectively, and the crude protein contents were 7.7% and 17.6%, respectively. The correlation coefficients between IVDMD and the contents of crude fiber, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber were relatively high in all of forage plants, suggesting that these components would provide an accurate prediction of digestibility or TDN content. A close relationship between IVNDFD and lignin content indicates that the lignin would be the most accurate predictor of cell wall digestibility.

Groundwater resource is mostly used in Abomey-calavi (southern region of Benin) as main source of water for domestic, industrial, and agricultural activities. Groundwater intake across the region is not perfectly controlled by a network due to the presence of many private boreholes and traditional wells used by the population. After some decades, this important resource is becoming more and more vulnerable and needs more attention. For a better groundwater management in the region of Abomey-calavi, the present study attempts to predict a future probable groundwater drought using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for future groundwater level prediction. The RNN model was created in python using jupyter library. Six years monthly groundwater level data was used for the model calibration, two years data for the model test and the model was finaly used to predict two years future groundwater level (years 2020 and 2021). GRI was calculated for 9 wells across the area from 2012 to 2021. The GRI value in dry season (by the end of March) showed groundwater drought for the first time during the study period in 2014 as severe and moderate; from 2015 to 2021 it shows only moderate drought. The rainy season in years 2020 and 2021 is relatively wet and near normal. GRI showed no drought in rainy season during the study period but an important diminution of groundwater level between 2012 and 2021. The Pearson's correlation coefficient calculated between GRI and rainfall from 2005 to 2020 (using only three wells with times series long period data) proved that the groundwater drought mostly observed in dry season is not mainly caused by rainfall scarcity (correlation values between -0.113 and -0.083), but this could be the consequence of an overexploitation of the resource which caused the important spatial and temporal diminution observed from 2012 to 2021.

경상북도 문경 부근에 위치하는 폐광산인 단붕탄광의 폐석장에서 유출되는 산성광산수의 조성변화를 보기 위하여 1995년 장마 전, 후 및 1997년 장마 전에 하천수와 퇴적물을 채취하여 금속원소의 함량을 분석하였다. 건기 동안에 폐석장 내에서 누적된 황철석의 산화산물이 강우량의 증가에 의해 유출됨으로써 장마 전보다 장마후에 하천수의 pH가 낮아지고 금속농도가 증가하였다. 2년의 시간이 경과한 후는 pH가 1이상 낮아졌으며 금속농도는 2배 이상 증가하여 산성광산수에 의한 오염의 진행이 심화되고 있음을 나타냈다. 적색과 백색으로 나타나는 Fe와 Al수산화물 및 황산염 등의 침전물의 공간적인 분포도 산성광산수의 조성변화를 반영하여 변화하였다. 1995년에 비해 1997년에는 적색침전물이 더 멀리까지 분포하고 백색침전물은 1995년도에는 발견되지 않던 하류까지 확장 분포하였으며 이들 침전물에 결합된 금속이온들의 함량도 수배 내지 수십 배 증가하였다.

The study aims to assess the quality of bank filtrate in relation to streamflow and physico-chemical properties of the stream. Turbidity, pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) of Nakdong River and riverbank filtrate were statistically analyzed. The physico-chemical properties of riverbank filtrate were measured from irregularly different seven pumping wells every day. Autocorrelation analyses were conducted to the qualities of stream water and bank filtrated water. Temperature, pH and DO of streamflow shows strong linearity and long memory effect, indicating the effect of seasonal air temperature and rainy season. Temperature of riverbank filtrate shows weak linearity and weak memory, indicating differently from the trend of stream temperature. Turbidity of steramflow shows strong linearity and long memory effect, while turbidity of riverbank filtrate indicates weak linearity and weak memory. Cross-correlation analysis shows low relation between turbidity, pH, temperature and DO of riverbank filtrate and those of streamflow. Turbidity of streamflow was largely affected by the streamflow rate, showing a similar trend with autocorrelation function of streamflow rate. The turbidity of riverbank filtrate has a lag time of 25 hours. This indicates that turbidity of streamflow in a dry season has very low effect on the turbidity of riverbank filtrate, and a high turbidity of the stream in a rainy season has a fairly low effect on the turbidity of riverbank filtrate.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of the pollutant discharge from non-point source and to estimate the unit loads of the pollutant discharge from the upper watershed of Seomjin Dam during rainy season. The upper watershed of Seomjin Dam is located in the middle of Jeonbuk province is formed two tributaries mainly. A sub-branch stream of those tributaries is Imsil stream of which flow rate is about 13% of the main stream of Seomjin reservoir normally. On the basis of measurement result in this study, the water quality of Imsil stream was fluctuated highly and the quantity of measured pollutant discharge was higher than the value calculated with the proportion of flow rate during dry season. On the contrary, during rainy season the mean values of flow rate and water quality were higher than the quartile according to the statistical analysis. That means rainfall can influence strongly on the water quality of the upper watershed of Seomjin reservoir. Among the several criteria of water quality, SS discharge was most sensitive to the flow rate variation of stream, which was fluctuated in proportion of rainfall, basically. It was evaluated the event mean concentration (EMC) of non-point source pollutants depending on rainfall events as well. Though the pollutant discharge unit of Imsil stream was lower than the main stream of Seomjin reservoir, the EMC value of Imsil stream was higher than the main stream of Seomjin reservoir.

The movement of sediments in the stream crossing a large industrial complex to the mouth of Masan Bay was monitored for eight years. Sediment samples were seasonally collected in the period of $1992{\sim}1997$ and $2001{\sim}2002$. The heavy metal content of sediment was found to be higher at dry season with the peak on February and significantly decreased at rainy season. Metals content in stream sediments were rapidly decreased by large precipitation events in rainy season because the contaminants in the upstream sediments were transported to the dredged area of Masan Bay where is a typical enclosed bay in Korea. The increasing and decreasing tendency of heavy metals in sediment was repeatedly observed for six consecutive years. The heavy metals assessment of stream sediment provide us the information about the pollutant source, transport pattern and control strategy along the industrial complex. It was strongly suggested that the transportable stream sediments of an industrial area should be controlled as one of the important strategies to restore and manage the enclosed bay. Combined wastewaters have been collected and treated in a publicly owned treatment works (POTW) after industrial wastewater treatment at each location of industries since 1994. A field study was conducted to investigate the pollutant removal efficiency and performance of contact oxidation system installed and operated in two locations in the stream. The stream sediment quality was improved since then, and as a consequence the habitat of the estuary has been restored.

Nutritional status of cattle in Java in Indonesia was investigated by evaluating P, Ca, Mg, K and Na concentrations in forage and plasma inorganic phosphorus (Pi), Ca and Mg, hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations of cattle during both rainy and dry seasons in 1988. Investigations were conducted at Jonggol (West Java), Malang (East Java) and Majokerto (East Java). Low P content in forage averaging 0.11% on a dry matter basis, high Ca:P ratio in forage in the rainy season (7.7:1) and low plasma Pi concentrations averaging 4.71 mg/dl were observed in Jonggol. In all three places, Ca content in forages was higher than the requirement according to the NRC standard and plasma Ca concentrations were above the critical level. During the rainy season forty percent of cattle in Malang and Mahokerto showed plasma Mg concentrations below 2mg/dl in spite of normal Mg and K content in forage. Forage samples from each place showed a wide variety in Na content, and Na content of two thirds of forage samples was lower than the requirement according to the NRC standard. Hematocrit and hemoglobin concentrations in Malang and Majokerto showed higher values than the normal range.

금강에서 외해역으로 전달되는 물질의 수지를 이해하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 금강하구의 영양염의 계절적인 분포를 조사하였다. 1997년에서 1998년간 금강하구의 6개 정점에서 13~24시간동안 연속관측을 통하여 영양염, 부유현탁물질(SPM; Suspended Particulate Matter), 엽록소와 염분을 분석하였으며, 조석자료, 기상자료와 금강 하구언의 담수 방출량 자료도 보조자료로서 사용하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 하구내 영양염의 계절적인 분포의 차이와 이런 현상을 주도하는 요인을 밝히는데 주목적이 있고, 부차적으로 금강하구언 조성 이전과 이후 영양염 분포의 차이를 조사하였다. 금강 배출수내 영양염들의 농도는 계절에 따라 확연히 구별된다. 인산염과 암모니움염은 갈수기에 농도가 높게 나타나는 반면, 풍수기에는 규산염이 높게 나타났고 이때 SPM의 농도도 높게 출현하였다. 그러나 질산염은 연중 일정한 농도를 유지하였다. 이러한 계절적인 차이를 결정하는 주원인은 일차적으로 담수의 유입량이다. 강우에 의한 담수의 희석효과가 이러한 영양염과 SPM의 계절적인 변화를 야기하는 것으로 생각된다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 증가하는 SPM의 농도가 2차적으로 영양염의 분포에 영향을 주는 것으로 생각된다. 조사된 모든 영양염의 주 공급원은 금강에서 유입하는 담수이며 조사된 영양염의 기본적인 분포는 이들이 보존적임을 보인다. 조사를 총괄하여 보면 질산염, 아질산염 그리고 규산염은 계절에 상관없이 거의 보존적인 성격을 나타냈다. 그러나 다른 영양염(인산염, 암모니움염)과 SPM은 계절에 따른 차이가 나타났다. 인산염과 암모니움염은 6월과 10월의 갈수기동안에는 거의 보존적인 성향을 보인 반면, 풍수기와 5월의 조사에서 첨가현상을 보였다. 이러한 첨가현상에 영향을 주는 주 요인은 봄철 대량 번식된 담수성 플랑크톤이 해수와 접촉함에 따라 사멸하고, 이와 동시에 유입된 유기물의 분해와 SPM에 흡착되어잇던 인산염이 용출되는 것으로 생각되며, 저층 플럭스(benthic flux)도 기여하는 것으로 보인다. 하구언 조성 이전과의 비교에서 SPM의 농도가 감소함에 따라 SPM이 하구내 영양염의 재생과정에 미치는 중요성은 현저히 약화되었다. 또한 하구내 영양염의 분포를 결정하는 염분의 분포가 갈수기에는 하구언에서 1~2 km 정도로 근접한 곳에서 염분의 구성이 5~15 psu로 나타나 영양염의 첨가현상등 화학적 변화가 이곳에 집중되고, 풍수기 동안에는 하구 전역에서 이러한 염분분포가 나타난다. 따라서 하구언 조성 이후에 갈수기 동안 하구언에 근접한 일부만이 진정한 하구의 역할을 하고 나머지는 만과 같은 특성을 보이고 있다. 하구언 갑문 폐쇄 이전과 이후의 비교 결과 조석의 차단으로 인한 조류속도의 감소로 인하여 부유현탁물질의 농도가 감소하였으며 영양염류의 농도가 증가하였고, 따라서 식물플랑크톤의 대량번식이 발생할 가능성이 있다.
