본 연구에서는 국립환경과학원에서 체계화된 유역 및 하천환경 DB 구축을 통해 국내 모든 하천에 대한 수리 수문학적 기초자료를 표준화기 위해 만들고 있는 한국형 Reach File을 통하여 경안천 유역에 대해 QUAL2E 모형을 이용하여 수질모의 하고자 한다. 수질 모델링의 적용 사례를 살펴본 바에 따르면 하천을 모델링하기 위해서는 현장 특성 자료의 중요성, 특히 하천수리특성에 관련된 기초 자료의 가용성 여부가 모형의 성패에 매우 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있다. 유량, 유속 및 폭과 깊이로 대변되는 하천 지형은 물질 이송에 대한 주요 외력 함수이며, 다른 모든 예측치 들은 이들에 의존적일 수밖에 없다. 따라서 이들의 정확한 표현은 올바른 수질 예측에 있어서 필수적이다. 국립환경과학원에서 구축하는 한국형 Reach File에는 도형 및 속성자료를 설계하였을 뿐만 아니라, 각 수계별 주요하천에 대한 Reach별로 하상단면정보 및 수리계수를 DB화하여 관리하고 있기 때문에 대상 하천의 유량, 유속 및 수심자료를 일괄적으로 제공을 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한국형 Reach File을 통하여 경안천유역의 수질을 모의하였다. Reach File에는 경안천 유역의 Reach 별로 수리학적 특성인 하천연장, 하상경사, 조도계수, 수리계수등 QUAL2E 모델의 입력자료등을 제공해 줌으로써 수질모의 과정의 정량화 및 간편화를 가능하게 하였다. 또한 효율성 증대에 기여하는 바가 클 것으로 예상되며 2013년 6월부터 시행되는 한강수계 수질오염총량관리 의무제 시행과 관련하여 보다 과학적이고 정확한 모델링 결과 도출이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Various input data required for water quality modeling have considerable impacts on modeling results and relevant analysis due to the absence of data standardization and lack of data accuracy. With this in mind, this study mainly focused on the designing Korean Reach File for more effective water quality modeling through the supply of database composed with accurate hydraulic and hydrologic data. The Korean Reach File is the hydraulic database with the locational information of individual reaches, and each reach represents the stream reach of homogeneous hydraulic characteristics. In detail, it has reach code designating each stream reach, and topological information including catalog unit, segment, marker and index. It was also designed considering linkage of existing codes such as stream name and stream code. The devised reach code was implemented to Kyungan River at the City of Gwangju of Kyunggi Province and the results showed that the reach code could effectively support the input database integrating basic numerous data required for water quality modeling based on a criterion as well as easier linkage and utilization with existing database. In addition, more systematic water quality management was enabled through the linkage of existing data such as treatment facilities, pollutant data, and management institutes using the reach codes defined for each stream section. In the future, more efforts need to be made to adopt the reach code as the national standard data thereby enabling utilization of numerous relevant database through the assigning of reach code to individual stream reaches nationwide.

Government introduces a Total Maximum Daily Loads(TMDL) which can be implemented for total pollutant amounts in 2004. Normally, the local governments have been calculated the amounts of pollutant discharge of each watershed using a water quality model. However, among the input data to use the water quality model, creating a schematic diagram of the stream or the modeling usually requires considerable amount of time and efforts due to the manual work. Therefore, this study tried to develop an algorithm which automates the creation of a schematic diagram for water quality modeling using the Korean Reach File capable of river network analysis. Further, this study creates a schematic diagram with the shape of a stream utilizing GIS capabilities. The diagram can be easily analyzed with overlapping various spatial information such as pollution sources and discharge points. This study mainly has automated element segmentation algorithm to divide streamflows into equal distance using line graphic data of Koran Reach File. Also, automated attribute input algorithm has also been developed to enable to insert element order and type into elements using point graphic data of Korean Reach File. For the verification of the developed algorithm, the algorithm was applied to kyungan stream basin to see the acceptable results. To conclude, it was possible to automate generating of schematic diagram of water quality model and it is expected to be able to save time and cost required for the water modeling. In future study, it is necessary to develop an automatic creation system of various types of input data for water quality modeling and this will lead to relatively easier and simple water quality modeling.

In order to manage water quality efficiently and systematically through TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load), the demand for the construction of spatial data for stream networks has increased for use with GIS-based water quality modeling, data management and spatial analysis. The objective of this study was to present an improved KRF (Korean Reach File) design as framework data for domestic stream networks to be used for various purposes in relation to the TMDL. In order to achieve this goal, the US EPA's RF (River Reach File) was initially reviewed. The improved design of the graphic and attribute data for the KRF based on the design of the EPA's RF was presented. To verify the results, the KRF was created for the Han River Basin. In total, 2,047 stream reaches were divided and the relevant nodes were generated at 2,048 points in the study area. The unique identifiers for each spatial object were input into the KRF without redundancy. This approach can serve as a means of linking the KRF with related database. Also, the enhanced topological information was included as attributes of the KRF. Therefore, the KRF can be used in conjunction with various types of network analysis. The utilization of KRF for water quality modeling, data management and spatial analysis as they pertain to the applicability of the TMDL should be conducted.

Objectives: This study investigated the influence of glide path size and operating kinetics on the time to reach the working length and the fracture resistance of Twisted File (TF) and Endostar E3 files. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 mandibular single-rooted premolars were selected. Two methods of kinetic motion (TF adaptive and continuous rotary motion) and file systems (TF and Endostar E3) were employed. The files were used in root canals prepared to apical glide path sizes of 15, 20, and 25. The time taken to reach the working length and the number of canals used before the instrument deformed or fractured were noted. Fractured instruments were examined with scanning electron microscopy. Results: The TF system took significantly more time to reach the working length than the Endostar E3 system. Both systems required significantly more time to reach the working length at the size 15 glide path than at sizes 20 and 25. A greater number of TFs than Endostar E3 files exhibited deformation, and a higher incidence of instrument deformation was observed in adaptive than in continuous rotary motion; more deformation was also observed with the size 15 glide path. One TF was fractured while undergoing adaptive motion. Conclusions: No significant difference was observed between continuous rotary and adaptive motion. The TF system and adaptive motion were associated with a higher incidence of deformation and fracture. Apical glide path sizes of 20 and 25 required significantly less time to reach the working length than size 15.

National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) has developed the Korean Reach File (KRF) for scientific and systematic analysis of variables related to water quality, pollutant sources and aquatic ecosystems in consideration of steam reach networks. The KRF provides a new framework for data production, storage, management and analysis for water related variables in relation to spatial characteristics, connections, and topologies of stream reaches. However, the current version of KRF (ver.2) has limited applicability because its nodes include not only the stream points based on topological characteristics but also those based on water quality monitoring stations, which may undermine its generality. In this study, a new version of KRF (ver.3) was designed and established to overcome the weak point of version 2. The version 3 is a generalization of the old KRF graphic data and it integrates the attribute data while separating it from the graphic data to minimize additional work that is needed for data association and search. We tested the KRF (ver.3) on actual cases and convenience and adaptability for each application was verified. Further research should focus on developing a database link model and real-world applications that are targeted to process event data.

This study proposes schemes of GIS-based system development for integrated information management in water environment linked with Korean Reach File (KRF). For this purpose, precedent studies and systems of the U.S. were investigated and analyzed to induce optimal methodology for Korean circumstances. Thereafter, data linkage methods of KRF and Water Environment Information System (WEIS), system configuration plans, application development plans, and KRF improvement and maintenance plans were considered. For data linkage and system configuration, three methods were suggested: an overlay operation-based data linkage method, entering spatial addresses into the existing DB, and creating link information between KRF and the existing DB. The first method was predicted to be the most effective for system implementation, the second method is advantageous for search tasks, and the third method is advantageous for system security and maintenance. Various types of applications should be developed in the consideration of the types of the users and their usages. Moreover, there is a need for further research on regular renewal of KRF, standard development, expansion of construction areas, etc. Based on the present results, research on actual system design and development also should be conducted for supporting Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
