Understanding the characteristics of reservoir water quality is fundamental in reservoir ecosystem management. The water quality of reservoirs is affected by various factors including hydro-morphology of reservoirs, land use/cover, and human activities in their catchments. In this study, we classified 83 major reservoirs in South Korea based on nine physicochemical factors (pH, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solid, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total organic carbon, electric conductivity, and chlorophyll-a) measured for five years (2015~2019). Study reservoirs were classified into five main clusters through hierarchical cluster analysis. Each cluster reflected differences in the water quality of reservoirs as well as hydromorphological variables such as elevation, catchment area, full water level, and full storage. In particular, water quality condition was low at a low elevation with large reservoirs representing cluster I. In the comparison of eutrophication status in major reservoirs in South Korea using the Korean trophic state index, in some reservoirs including cluster IV composed of lagoons, the eutrophication was improved compared to 2004~2008. However, eutrophication status has been more impaired in most agricultural reservoirs in clusters I, III, and V than past. Therefore, more attention is needed to improve the water quality of these reservoirs.

The recurrent neural network (RNN) algorithm has been widely used in water-related research areas, such as water level predictions and water quality predictions, due to its excellent time series learning capabilities. However, studies on water quality predictions using RNN algorithms are limited because of the scarcity of water quality data. Therefore, most previous studies related to water quality predictions were based on monthly predictions. In this study, the quality of the water in a reservoir in Nonsan, Chungcheongnam-do Republic of Korea was predicted using the RNN-LSTM algorithm. The study was conducted after constructing data that could then be, linearly interpolated as daily data. In this study, we attempt to predict the water quality on the 7th, 15th, 30th, 45th and 60th days instead of making daily predictions of water quality factors. For daily predictions, linear interpolated daily water quality data and daily weather data (rainfall, average temperature, and average wind speed) were used. The results of predicting water quality concentrations (chemical oxygen demand [COD], dissolved oxygen [DO], suspended solid [SS], total nitrogen [T-N], total phosphorus [TP]) through the LSTM algorithm indicated that the predictive value was high on the 7th and 15th days. In the 30th day predictions, the COD and DO items showed R² that exceeded 0.6 at all points, whereas the SS, T-N, and T-P items showed differences depending on the factor being assessed. In the 45th day predictions, it was found that the accuracy of all water quality predictions except for the DO item was sharply lowered.

A sensitive technique for the determination of trace Co(II) in various samples after column preconcentration by adsorbing onto silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol was developed. Several experimental conditions, such as pH of sample solution, the amount of silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol, the flow rate for adsorption and so forth, were optimized. The interfering effects of diverse concomitant ions were investigated. Fe(III) interfered with more than any other ions, but the interference by Fe(III) was completely eliminated by adjusting the amount of silica gel loaded with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol to 0.30 g. The dynamic range, the correlation coefficient ($R^2$), and the detection limit obtained by the proposed technique were 3.0-140.0 ng m$L^{-1}$, 0.9942, and 1.81 ng m$L^{-1}$, respectively. For validating the technique, the aqueous samples (tap water, reservoir water, stream water, and wastewater) and the plastic samples were used as real samples. Recovery yields of 93.0-107.0% were obtained. These measured data were not different from ICP-MS data at the 95% confidence level by F test. Based on the results of the experiment, it has been found that the proposed technique can be applied to the determination of Co(II) in various real samples.

정부의 새만금 종합개발계획(MP)이 확정됨에 따라 토지이용별 매립고 산정 등 개발계획의 수립을 위해 정확한 새만금호 홍수위 산정이 대두되었다. 이에 새만금사업 연구 기술 자문기구 업무수행에 관한 협약에 의하여 종합개발계획에 따른 수리 수문 분석 및 매립고 산정의 기술지원을 수행하게 되었다. 새만금 홍수위 산정 방법은 3차원 수치해석 프로그램인 Delft-3D 이용하였다. 100년 및 200년 빈도 홍수 유입에 대해 수계를 통합하였을 경우, 가력배수갑문과 신시배수갑문의 홍수위 차가 다르게 모의되었다. 이는 각각 수계의 홍수도달 차이가 호내 수위에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되어 진다. 08년 새만금 기본계획안과 비교하였을 때 낮게 모의가 되었는데, 이는 배수갑문의 개 폐시간, 내부 토지이용계획의 변화에 따른 담수호 면적 변화, 통합운영시 연결 수로의 제원 등에 따른 복합적인 요인에 기인한 것으로 여겨진다. 아울러 새만금 호내의 제수문 및 연결수로 등 세부제원에 대한 설계가 확정되면 보다 더 세밀한 모의가 요구되며, 앞으로 종합개발계획(MP)의 홍수위, 매립고 산정, 하상보호공, 호안 및 수제공 등의 수리구조물 설계시 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

우리나라는 전국에 약 17,500여개의 크고 작은 농업용저수지가 있으며, 이 중 약 89%는 설치된 지 40년이 지나 노후화가 이뤄지고 있다. 최근에는 기후변화 영향으로 홍수피해가 대형화되고 있어 농촌지역의 홍수재해 발생시 저수지 하류부의 인명피해 및 농경지 침수피해는 증가될 것으로 예상된다. 한국농어촌공사는 농업용저수지의 효율적인 물관리 및 재해방지를 위해 자동수위계측기를 활용한 실시간 저수위 자료를 구축하고 있다. 기후변화에 따른 홍수피해를 신속하게 대응하기 위해서는 과거 홍수사상에 대한 저수지 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 농촌지역 풍수해 방지를 위한 의사결정 자료로 활용하게 된다. 기상예측정보의 활용에 앞서 농업용저수지의 홍수모의가 과거 수문사상을 현실적으로 재현하는지를 검토할 필요가 있어 본 연구에서는 저수지 홍수분석의 검정자료인 저수위 자료에 대한 활용성 평가를 수행하였다. 대상저수지는 ${{\circ}{\circ}}$농촌용수구역 내 위치한 ${{\circ}{\circ}}$저수지로 하고, 10분 단위의 저수위 자료를 활용하였다. 연도별 원시자료에 대한 결측, 불량자료, 이상치 등을 검토하고, 그 결과에 대한 유형분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구결과는 과거 홍수사상에 대한 농업용저수지 홍수모의 분석 및 검정을 통해 강우레이더 등 기상예측정보 기반의 농촌지역 홍수피해 산정결과의 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

저수지 유입량은 효율적 저수지 운영을 위해 중요한 요소로, 이는 하류 하천 등과 복합적으로 연계되기에 통합적 수자원 관리를 위해서 정확한 추정이 중요하다. 국내의 일부 저수지에서는 상류에서 유입되는 유량을 측정하고 있으나, 모든 저수지에 대해 측정하기에는 현실적 한계가 있다. 한편, 한국농어촌공사에서는 유효저수량 10만톤 이상 저수지에 대해 수위 계측기를 설치하여 수위자료를 관측하고 있으며, 이는 수위-내용적 곡선을 통해 저수량으로 변환이 가능하다. 저수량 자료가 확보되면 물수지식 기반으로 간접적으로 유입량의 추정이 가능하나, 수위가 상승하는 구간에 대해서만 적용이 가능하기에 연속적인 자료의 확보에 한계가 있다. 이 경우 불연속 유량자료를 대상으로 수문모형의 매개변수를 최적화하여 장기간 연속자료로 변환하는 것이 한 방안이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 수위 기반으로 추정된 간헐적 유입량 자료를 기반으로 수문모형의 매개 변수를 최적화하여 장기유량으로 변환하고자 한다. 수문 모형과 매개변수 최적화 기법은 각각 Tank 모형과 SCE (Shuffled Complex Evolution) 기법을 이용하였다. 매개변수 최적화를 위한 목적함수는 고유량 저유량 총량 분산 관련 지표에 가중치를 부여한 다중 목적함수로 설정하였으며, 이를 통해 도출된 다양한 매개변수 후보군 중 고유량 저유량 총량 유황곡선의 유사정도가 전반적으로 일치하는 매개변수 군을 선택하였다. 본 연구 결과는 미계측 저수지 유입량을 추정할 수 있음으로써 저수지의 효율적인 물관리와 용수관리 의사결정에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The objectives of the study were to elucidate functional modifications in relation to hydrological, physico-chemical and ecological aspects in Daechung Reservoir by the upper dam constructions of Youngdam Reservoir and analyze temporal and spatial dynamic patterns using trophic parameters of TN, TP, chlorophyll (CHL), and Secchi depth (SD). Hydrological data such as inflow, precipitation, and water levels before (BDC, 1995$\sim$2000) and after (ADC, 2001$\sim$2006) the dam construction showed that precipitation had greater correlations with inflow volume in the BDC (r=0.964, p=0.002) than in the ADC (r=0.857, p=0.029). This outcome indicates that the upper dam construction influenced the inflow and water level of Daechung Reservoir. One of the greatest changes after the dam construction was decreases of nutrient contents (TN, TP) and increases of algal biomass (as CHL) as the water residence time increases. Values of CHL had greater relations with TP in the ADC (r=0.412, p<0.001) than the BDC (r=0.249, p<0.001), indicating that CHL had greater response at a given phosphorus in the ADC. Thus, algal yield at a given TP (CHL : TP ratios) increased in the ADC, resulting in a greater CHL-TP relations. Long-term interannual TP, TN, SD, and CHL showed greater variations in the riverine zone (RZ) than any other transition (TZ) and lacustrine zones (LZ). This phenomenon was mainly attributed to rapid hydrological response in the riverine zone (RZ) to flow reductions (short water residence time) from the upper dam, resulting in ambient contents of nutrients and light regime along with functional relations of CHL-TP.

Recently, the extreme drought is often occurred due to the global warming and the serious weather changes. Also, the problems of the water pollution In the developed areas, the oppositions from people in the upper stream area and water concession from the local governments affect the national request to get more clean water resources in upper stream of the undeveloped areas. It also brings on the necessity of recognition for water supply managements. Therefore, as the water demand is rapidly changes in the metropolitan areas, the capability of water supply from the north Han river basin dams should be appropriately investigated. In this study, we developed a simulation system using STELLA (equation omitted) software environment, a shared vision model, to analyze the possibility of the stable water supply from north Han river basin dams. Also, three different rules are applied on this model by dividing the water level to minimum(Rule 1), medium(Rule 2) and maximum(Rule 3). Using the rules, the safety yield changes are analyzed for dam rule curve of the reservoir and hydropower release.

A water balance analysis was performed for a paddy field neighboring the Dongchang stream, downstream of the Unmun reservoir, which is constructed for the urban water supply. Daily rainfall data were collected and irrigation water flow rate, drainage flow rate, evaportranspiration, infiltration, and piezometeric head were measured in the field. The flow rates were continuously observed by water level logger during the growing season. The evaportranspiration and the infiltration were measured by N-type depletion meter and cylindrical infiltrometer, respectively. PVC pipes with 12mm diameter were used for piezometric head measurement. Total Irrigation and drainage flows were 3,608mm and 1,170mm in 1999, and 3,971mm and 1,548mm in 2000, respectively. The mean and range of the daily infiltration rate were 4.4mm/d and 3.4mm/d to 5.5mm/d in 1999 and 5.1mm/d and 4.1mm/d to 6.5mm/d in 2000, respectively. The net ground water flow including the change of soil water storage was 2,855mm in 1999 and 2,540mm in 2000. The evapotranspiration was 458.3mm in 1999 and 553.5mm in 2000. The range of daily evapotranspiration rate was from 1.6 to 8.7mm/d. The return flow ratio was about 32% in 1999 and 39% in 2000 and three year average was 35% including previous study in 1997. The amount of irrigation water was much higher than design standards or references in this study, This was caused by the inadequate water management practice in the area where water was oversupplied on farmers’ request rather than following sound water management principles.

In this study, Ant Colony Algorithm(ACO) was used for optimal model. ACO which are metaheuristic algorithm for combinatorial optimization problem are inspired by the fact that ants are able to find the shortest route between their nest and food source. For applying the model to water distribution systems, pipes, tanks(reservoirs), pump construction and pump operation cost were considered as object function and pressure at each node and reservoir level were considered as constraints. Modified model from Ostfeld and Tubaltzev(2008) was verified by applying 2-Looped, Hanoi and Ostfeld's networks. And sensitivity analysis about ant number, number of ants in a best group and pheromone decrease rate was accomplished. After the verification, it was applied to real water network from S water treatment plant. As a result of the analysis, in the Two-looped network, the best design cost was found to $419,000 and in the Hanoi network, the best design cost was calculated to $6,164,384, and in the Ostfeld's network, the best design cost was found to $3,525,096. These are almost equal or better result compared with previous researches. Last, the cost of optimal design for real network, was found for 66 billion dollar that is 8.8 % lower than before. In addition, optimal diameter for aged pipes was found in this study and the 5 of 8 aged pipes were changed the diameter. Through this result, pipe construction cost reduction was found to 11 percent lower than before. And to conclusion, The least cost design model on water distribution system was developed and verified successfully in this study and it will be very useful not only optimal pipe change plan but optimization plan for whole water distribution system.
