최근 도시화에 따른 투수면적의 감소인한 우수 유출량의 증가로 비점오염 및 도시 침수피해에 대한 문제가 증가하고 이에 따른 유역관리에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 불투수면적의 특성으로 인한 도시 비점오염의 축적량 증가와 함께 적은 강우에도 유출이 발생되고 이로 인한 세척효과에 의해 고농도의 비점오염원을 하천으로 유출시키게 된다. 이러한 우수 유출 및 비점오염원 관리방안으로 저영향개발(LID;Low Impact Development) 기법에 의한 우수유출량의 저감과 수질개선효과를 연구할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전주시 송천동 지역을 대상으로 관측자료를 이용하여 SWMM모형을 구축하였고, 그 결과를 바탕으로 LID기법 중 하나인 Bioretention과 저류조용량(900, 1050, 1200, $1350m^3$)을 고려한 수질개선 효과를 분석하였다. 송천동 지역에 대한 저류조 및 Bioretention 적용에 따른 수질 개선효과를 비교한 결과 SS는 무시설의 경우 평균 100.08mg/L에서 1) 저류조의 경우 83.40mg/L(17% 감소), 2) 식생저류지의 경우 86.27mg/L(14% 감소), 3) 저류조와 식생저류지 연계 적용의 경우 79.43mg/L(21% 감소)로 평가되었다. BOD는 무시설의 경우 평균 15.24mg/L에서 1) 저류조의 경우 13.37mg/L(12% 감소), 2) 식생 저류지의 경우 12.29mg/L(19% 감소), 3) 저류조와 식생저류지 연계 적용의 경우 11.81mg/L(22% 감소)로 나타났다. T - P는 무시설의 경우 평균 1.09mg/L에서 1) 저류조의 경우 0.96mg/L(12% 감소), 2) 식생저류지의 경우 0.84mg/L(22% 감소), 3) 저류조와 식생저류지 연계 적용의 경우 0.78mg/L(28% 감소)로 수질이 개선되었다. 저류조와 식생저류지 적용에 따른 SS의 경우, 식생저류지를 적용했을 경우보다 저류조를 적용했을 경우 수질농도가 더 많이 저감되는 것으로 산정되었다. BOD와 T - P의 경우 저류조를 적용했을 경우보다 식생저류지를 적용했을 경우 수질농도가 저감 되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 저류조와 식생저류지를 연계 적용했을 경우 각각 적용했을 경우보다 수질농도가 더 많이 저감되는 것으로 평가되며, 향후 유역 내 LID기법과 저류조 위치에 따른 효과에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

비점오염원은 강우시 토지이용형태에 따라 유출특성이 다양하게 나타나며, 특히 강우 초기에 고농도의 유출수가 수계로 유입하게 된다. 또한 강우량, 강우강도, 선행건기일수 등은 비점오염물질의 농도에 영향을 미치며, 특히 선행건기일수가 길고 강우강도가 강한 강우사상일 경우 고농도의 오염물질이 배출되는 것으로 나타나고 있다(안태웅 등, 2012). 이에 본 연구에서는 3년간(2010년 ~ 2012년)의 모니터링을 통해 고랭지 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염물질의 초기세척효과를 분석하고자 하였다. 초기세척효과의 판단은 Geiger(1987)이 제시한 누적오염부하량과 누적유출량과의 그래프를 비교하여 기울기가 45도 기울기보다 상향하여 분포하였을 경우 양분선과 최대로 벌어진 부분의 시간까지에서 초기세척효과가 발생한다고 판단하였다. 연구결과, 고랭지 밭 지역의 경우 뚜렷한 초기세척효과 현상이 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 CODCr의 경우 3차 강우사상에서 초기세척 효과가 나타난 것으로 분석되었다. 3차 강우사상은 선행건기일수가 0.9일로 매우 짧고 발생강우량이 27.3 mm로 연구기간 동안 가장 적은 강우량이 관측되었지만, 유출발생시점 전후 3시간 동안 강우강도가 4.0 ~ 6.2 mm/hr로 높게 나타났기 때문에 유출초기에 고농도의 오염물질이 발생된 것으로 판단된다. 그동안 선행된 초기세척효과에 대한 연구를 살펴본 결과 이병수 등(2008)은 경안천 유역 농업지역에 대해 초기세척효과를 분석한 결과 일부 강우에서는 초기세척현상이 나타나지만 대부분의 강우에서는 초기세척현상이 나타나지 않아 농촌지역의 경우 초기세척현상의 접근방법은 적절치 않다고 보고하고 있다. 정성민 등(2009)은 고랭지 농업지역에서 SS와 TP는 뚜렷한 초기세척현상이 나타나는 반면, TN과 DOC는 경향을 보이지 않는다고 하였다. 하지만 윤영삼 등(2011)은 강우시 포도밭에서 초기세척효과를 분석한 결과 모든 수질항목에서 약한 초기세척효과가 나타났고 특히 SS의 경우 초기세척효과가 강하게 나타났다고 보고하고 있다. 이처럼 투수지역에서의 초기세척효과에 대한 판단은 연구자에 따라 차이를 보이는데 이러한 이유는 투수지역의 토양의 특성, 강우조건, 지형적 특징 등이 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

Wastewater reuse for agricultural irrigation needs treatment and control of pathogens to minimize risks to human health and the environment. In order to evaluate the water quality of UV-treated reclaimed water, this study focused on the relationship between micro-pathogens and particulate matters. MS2 was selected as an index organism because it has similar characteristics to human enteric virus and strong resistance to UV disinfection. The turbidity and suspended solid (SS) were selected for test parameters. In this study, it was performed with different UV doses (30 and $60mJ/cm^2$) for estimation of the MS2 inactivation rate using collimated beam batch experiments in the laboratory. The experiment results by turbidity or SS concentration presented that the increased concentration of them lowered MS2 inactivation. At the turbidity (below 4.27 NTU) and SS (below 1.47 mg/L) of the low level range, the inactivation of 60 UV dose is higher than 30 UV dose. However, at the turbidity and SS of the high level, the increasing UV dose did not show apparent increasing the MS2 inactivation. In quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA), it can confirm the trend that $P_D$ and turbidity concentrations have positive correlationship at the low concentration, which was also observed in SS. The QMRA can be helpful in communication with public for safe wastewater reuse and be recommended.

Disintegration of sewage sludge (SS) was investigated by batch experiments using mechanical pre-treatment. Mechanical disintegration of SS increased the amount of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD), protein and carbohydrate due to the break-up of cell walls. The mechanical disintegration incorporated with alkaline pre-treatment demonstrated higher amount of SCOD compared with mechanical one only. In terms of anaerobic biodegradability, mechanical pretreatment enhanced the anaerobic biodegradation of SS, leading to the methane production improvement. The improvement in BMP for SS treated with mechanical and alkaline-mechanical pre-treatments were 24.1% and 44.5%, respectively. This result suggested that disintegration of SS was effective for improving anaerobic biodegradability.

The objective of this study was to test the pollutant reduction effect by the silt fence and vegetated ridge through field monitoring. The experiment plots were established with two replication and three treatments. Each plot was designed with 5 m width, 22 m length, and 3 % slope. Flumes with the floating type stage gages were installed at the outlet of each plot to monitor the runoff. For a rainfall monitoring, tipping bucket rain gage was installed within the experiment site. Cultivated crops were spring daikon and autumn chinese cabbage. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that the water quality concentration from three experiment plots were not significantly different in 5 % of significant level. The monitoring results showed that the average pollution loads reduced by silt fence compared to control were SS 75.33 %, TN 40.87 %, TP 56.58 %, BOD 52.12 %, COD 36.07 %, TOC 34.99 %; by vegetated ridge compard to control were SS 65.27 %, TN 81.80 %, TP 54.26 %, BOD 67.09 %, COD 46.55 %, TOC 43.30 %. Analysis of Spearman's rank correlation coefficient showed that BOD-SS and SS-Turbidity were highly related at the silt fence and vegetated ridge plots. In all plots, SS-Turbidity and TP-TN relations were relatively high. The monitoring results showed that the silt fence and vegetated ridge were effect method to reduce the pollutant loads from the field runoff. Long-term monitoring is required to obtain more quantitative reduction effect for diverse crops and to increase the reliability of results.

This aim of study was to investigate the characteristics of discharge of pollutants as well as the correlation between flow rate and water quality constituents in a combined sewer system according to the characteristics of rainfall. For the loading rates for each pollutant, the median concentrations of all pollutants except T-N was increased when a CSO took place. The loading rates of BOD, COD, SS, T-N, T-P, Cu and Zn at the CSOs were 328-1255, 25-129, 83-2009, 4-12, 14-51, 5-11 and 5-13 times higher than the DWF (Dry Whether Flow), respectively. Especially, SS loading rate was found to be highest in all pollutants. On the other hand, the range of the first flush coefficient, b for water quality constituents such as BOD, COD, SS, T-N, T-P, Cu and Zn were 0.537-0.878, 0.589-0.888, 0.516-1.062, 0.852-1.031, 0.649-0.954, 0.975-1.015 and 0.900-1.114, respectively. In term of correlation between flow rate and pollutant concentrations, SS concentration was highly correlated to flow rate. However, there was an inverse correlation between EC (Electrical Conductivity) and flow rate because of the high dilution of flow rate. In case of correlation between pollutants, there was a high correlation between SS and T-P.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reduction effect of non point source (NPS) pollution in Haean highland agricultural catchment ($62.8km^2$) for 13 BMP scenarios under RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. Under the present climate condition, the BMP (best management practices) reduction efficiency of SS (suspended solid), T-N (total nitrogen), and T-P (total phosphorus) showed +25.7%, +4.2%, and +16.1% for VFS (vegetative filter strip), +0.1%, +15.6%, and +5.7% for FC (fertilizer control), and +6.3%, -2.9%, and +3.9% for RSM (rice straw mulching) respectively. In general, effective was the best for SS and T-P reductions, and the FC was the best for T-N reduction. The negative effect of T-N on RSM was induced by increase in infiltration and solute transport to baseflow. Under the future climate change scenarios, the SS, T-N, and T-P reduction efficiency showed the range of +1.9~+11.6%, -1.9~+0.2%, and +5.3~+11.9% respectively. The 3 BMPs (VFS, FC, and RSM) application in the future showed negative and little differences (-0.5~+1.6%) for SS and T-N reduction efficiencies while T-P reduction efficiency showed +0.3~+7.6% comparing with the baseline period. To achieve an increase in the reduction efficiency of future SS and T-N by +2~+10%, the combined application of more than two BMPs is necessary.

Effective nonpoint source (NPS) pollution management requires frequent water quality monitoring, which is, however, often costly to be implemented in practice. Statistical techniques and machine learning methods allow us to identify and focus on fundamental environmental variables that have close relationships with NPS pollutants of interest. This study developed surrogate models to predict the concentrations of suspended sediment (SS) and total phosphorus (T-P) from turbidity and runoff discharge rates using multiple linear regression (MLR) and random forest (RF) methods. The RF models provided acceptable performance in predicting SS and T-P, especially when runoff discharge rates were high. The RF models outperformed the MLR models in all the cases. Such finding highlights the potential of RF techniques and models as a tool to identify fundamental environmental variables that are measured in relatively inexpensive ways or freely available but still able to provide information required to quantify the concentrations of NP S pollutants. The analysis of relative importance rates showed that the temporal variations of SS and T-P concentrations could be more effectively explained by that of turbidity than runoff discharge rate. This study demonstrated that the advanced statistical techniques such as machine learning could help to improve the efficiency of NPS pollutants monitoring.

An experiment was performed to obtain cryopreservation techniques of starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) sperm. Milt obtained from 24 males were cryopreserved using two diluents, artificial seminal plasma (ASP) and Stein's solution (SS) with three cryoprotectants, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol, and glycerol concentrated from 5% to 20%. Post-thaw sperm activity (motility and/or speed) revealed the highest in 10% DMSO and 15% methanol in ASP and SS as diluent. Motility and speed of cryopreserved sperm were decreased according to increase of glycerol concentration. To conclude, DMSO was a better cryoprotectant than methanol or glycerol for cryopreservation of starry flounder sperm. Glycerol was incongruent cryoprotectant because of toxic to starry flounder sperm. Most cryopreserved spermatozoa without cryoprotectant showed the enlarged head with granulated chromatin and ruptured plasma membrane by freezing and thawing injuries compared with unfrozen normal spermatozoa.

Constructed wetland system was studied to treat wastewater from industrial complex in rural area. Pilot plant at the Baeksuk Nongkong Danzi in Chunahn-City was used for field study. For the DO, the effluent concentration was higher than the influent concentration and it implies that natural reaeration supplies enough oxygen to the system. For the SS, the effluent concentration was consistently lower than the water quality standard even though the influent concentration varied significantly, which showed that SS was removed by the system effectively which is consist of soil and plants. For the BOD and COD, the average removal rate of them were 56% and 43%, respectively, therefore, the effluent concentration could not meet water quality standards when influent concentration was high. The removal rate of BOD and COD can be improved by supplemental treatment in addition to this system if necessary. For the T-N and T-P, the influent concentration of them were lower than the water quality standards than no further treatment was needed. Overall, the result showed that constructed wetland system is a feasible alternative for the treatment of wastewater from industrial complex in rural area. For actual application of this system, further study on design factors including loading rate, removal mechanism, and temperature effects is required to meet water quality standard consistently. Compared to existing systems, this system is quite competitive because it requires low capital cost, almost no energy and maintenance, and therefore, very cost effective.
