In order to figure out hydrodynamic and water quality changes after completion of dike construction of the Saemangeum, which behaves as a semi-enclosed estuarine lake, numerical simulations based on fine grid structure by using EFDC were intensively carried out. In this study some limitations of precedent study has been improved and gate operation were considered. Also 3 phases such as air-water-sediment interaction modeling was considered. It is clear that inner mixing of the Saemangeum is dominated by Mankyeong and Dongjin riverine discharges rather than the gate opening influence through the Lagrangian particle tracking simulations. Vertical DO structure after the dike completion shows steep gradient especially at Dongjin river estuary due to lessen of outer sea water exchange. Increasing SOD at stagnantly changed man-made reservoir might cause oxygen deficiency and accelerating degradation of water quality. According to TSI evaluation test representing eutrophication status, it shows high possibility of eutrophication along Mankyeong waterway in spite of dike completion, while the index is getting high after final closing along Dongjin waterway. Numerical tests with gate operations show significant differences in water quality. Thus it should be noted that proper gate operation plays a major role in preserving target water quality and management for inner development plan.

본 연구에서는 새만금유역과 호 내의 복잡한 수체 형상, 유입 및 유출 구조를 반영하는데 적합한 모델을 적용하고 재현성이 검토된 모델 결과를 이용하여 호 내 수질을 모의하였다. 또한 구성한 모형의 결과를 바탕으로 만경강, 동진강의 상류에 위치하고 있는 제수문에서의 방류조건을 가정하여 모의를 수행하였다. 방류조건별 모의 결과, M3, D5지점에서 목표수질을 초과하는 것으로 나타났고 새만금호 상류부인 M3, D3지점은 방류조건에 따른 수질개선효과가 큰 것으로 예측되어 만경강과 동진강의 유입수의 영향이 지배적인 것으로 평가되었다. 전량방류시 영향범위를 거리로 살펴보면 만경강대교에서 새만금호 하류방향으로 약 22 km지점, 동진강대교에서 새만금호 하류방향으로 약 15 km지점까지로 나타났다. 농도변화와 방류조건별 영향범위를 살펴보면, 하류측으로 갈수록 수질개선에 영향을 적게 미치지만, 증가된 방류량에 의해 수질이 개선되어 제수문에서의 방류량 증가는 호 내 수질개선에 기여하는 것으로 판단된다.

Seasonal variation in species composition of fish in the Saemangeum Reservoir was determined using seasonal samples collected by an otter trawl from April 2006 to February 2007 after the dike construction, and compared with the data obtained during the dike construction in 2001-2002. A total of 35 species, 8,960 individuals and 53,084.4 g of fish were collected during the study. Of the fish collected, brackish and coastal fishes such as Konosirus punctatus, Synechogobius hasta and Repomucenus lunatus, and migrant fishes such as Engraulis japonicus and Scomberomorus niphonius predominated in abundance accounting for 95% in the total number of individuals. Fish species composition and abundance showed a similar seasonal trend to those in the other western coastal waters of Korea. The resident species were mainly collected in spring and in autumn. The number of species and biomass were high in summer by the large amount of catch of migrating species. Catch was low in winter and only 2 species were collected. A brackish and coastal fish, K. punctatus and two migrant fishes, E. japonicus and S. niphonius were abundantly collected after the dike construction. However, the dominant fishes during the dike construction such as Leiognathus nuchalis, Neosalanx jordani and Chaeturichthys stigmatias were rarely collected. Fish density was $1,149\;inds./10,000m^2\;and\;12,644g/10,000m^2$ during the dike construction, and increased 6 times in the number of individuals ($7,467\;inds./10,000m^2$) and 3 times in biomass ($44,237g/10,000m^2$) after the dike construction. Annual species richness (R) and species diversity (H') decreased from R=0.0160 and H'=2.47 during the dike construction in 2001-2002 to R=0.0038 and H'=1.11 after dike construction in 2006-2006, respectively. These changes seemed to be related to the reduction of the saline area and degradation of water quality in Semangeum Reservoir after the dike construction.

Understanding the selective feeding behavior of zooplankton on phytoplankton is essential for evaluating the nutrient cycle and energy flow in the food web. Although many studies have been conducted regarding the feeding behaviors of zooplankton through gut content analyses, there are limitations in the visual identification of digested contents using a microscope. DNA techniques have been applied to overcome these limitations since they can detect and amplify small amounts of prey DNA remaining in the gut contents. We designed a method to extract prey DNA from the gut contents of the whole body of the copepod specimen and tested the resolution of DNA identification for the prey phytoplankton. The common brackish species, Sinocalanus tenellus, were collected from Saemangeum Reservoir in different sites and seasons, and gut content DNA was extracted using 2.5% bleach treatment for 2 min for removal of potential contamination sources existing in preserved specimens without dissolution of the body. The sequences of the extracted gut contents were confirmed using BLASTn suite based on the NCBI database. The phytoplankton species detected in the gut showed temporal and spatial differences. Although DNA analysis of small copepod gut contents has been suggested as an effective method to examine the dynamics of primary prey sources at the genus or species level, uncertainties such as misidentification and limitations in the detailed information of the composition still exist.

The comprehensive master plan in November 2010 on Saemangeum internal development has been released, and there is a need for complementary measures related to in-situ monitoring methods in order to acquire water temperature (T) and salinity (S) data. Thus, these data are monitored and analyzed by Korea Rural Community Corporation continuously. The purposes of current study are to evaluate the distributions of seasonal T and S, sigma-t, and stratification parameter and to compare annual stratification system in 2011 and 2012. To achieve these objectives, monthly vertical changes of T, S, and sigma-t, which are reproduced by a kriging technique, have been analyzed. In summer, the temperature difference between surface and bottom layers varies from 2 to $3^{\circ}C$, and the stratification of T is considerably weak. The stratification of S occurs abruptly within depth of EL. (-)5 to EL. (-)10 m. Therefore, stratification is induced by sudden increasing of water inflow amount due to a localized downpour during the rainy season, and these stratification processes are strongly influenced by inflowing a fresh water from watersheds in estuary environment.

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.

현재 새만금 호 내로 유입되는 만경, 동진강 유역은 대규모 관개시스템을 통해 하천수의 대부분을 농업용수로 취수하고 있어 하천의 건천화가 심화되고 이에 따라 수질관리와 수생태계 보전에 어려움이 있다. 또한 새만금호는 방조제 완공 이후 배수갑문을 통한 해수유통이 줄어들어 호 내중 하류부에만 영향을 미치고 상류부인 만경, 동진강의 유입부는 유입되는 유량과 오염부하량의 지배적인 영향을 받는다. 이러한 새만금유역과 호에 대해 적정수질유지 및 합리적인 수질관리 대책 수립이 중요하며, 이를 위하여 상류하천 및 새만금호의 주요 지점에 대한 지속적인 모니터링 및 유역과 수역의 기작 등을 합리적으로 구현할 수 있는 수질예측 모델을 구축, 운영 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 새만금유역에 대해 SWAT모형을 적용시켜 자료를 구축하였고, 그 결과를 토대로 3차원 수리?수질모델인 EFDC를 이용하여 2020년 호 내 수질을 모의하였다. 또한 제수문 방류조건(1cms방류, 65%방류, 전량방류)에 따른 수질 변화를 모의하여 호 내 수질변화와 영향범위를 추정하였다. 제수문에서의 1cms방류조건과 전량방류조건을 모의하여 연평균 농도를 비교 한 결과 M3지점에 서 COD 1.304mg/L 감소, T-N 1.207mg/L 감소, T-P 0.08mg/L 감소, Chl-a $5.095mg/m^3$ 감소, D3지점에서 COD 0.492mg/L 감소, T-N 0.205mg/L 감소, T-P 0.009mg/L 감소, Chl-a $2.117mg/m^3$ 감소하는 것으로 예측되어 수질이 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 만경강과 동진강 제수문의 증가된 방류량으로 인해 유황이 개선되고 호 내 오염부하농도가 감소하는 것으로 판단된다. 방류조건별 영향범위를 살펴본 결과, 65%방류조건에서는 호 내 상류구간에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 전량방류조건에서는 호 내 중?상류구간이 지배적인 영향범위로 평가되었다. 따라서 유역 내 제수문 관리를 통한 방류량 조정은 새만금호의 효과적인 수질관리에 기여 할 것으로 예상되며, 향후 제수문의 체계화된 운영방안 수립대책이 필요하다.

To provide a reliable tool for runoff simulations of ungauged watersheds upstream of reservoirs, a daily runoff simulation model, Tank model, is restructured, the parameter regionalization of the model is conducted, and the model's applicability is evaluated. Taking into account the characteristics of runoffs from the watersheds, a three-tank model is employed. The percolation process of the model's third tank is eliminated, considering the water budgets of the watersheds, and its evapotranspiration component is improved, reflecting the conditions of meteorological observation in South Korea. The sensitivity analysis of the model shows that the model's behaviors, varying with a sensitive parameter, ${\alpha}$, are reasonable. The regional parameter estimation equations are determined, using the characteristics and land uses of the watersheds as variables. The model is applied for the runoff simulations of three watersheds and the water stage simulation of one reservoir, and the simulation results are then compared with the observed values, which prove to be in close agreement with the observations. In addition, the results from simulating inflows of twenty-four reservoirs using the model show that the averages of evapotranspiration rate and runoff rate are 42.8% and 56.6%, respectively, which are resonable. Consequently, it is concluded that the model is practically applicable to simulating runoffs from watersheds upstream of reservoirs, and simulated inflow data are useful for watershed management and reservoir planning, design, and operation.

The present study was attempted to find the effects of structural properties of phosphorus on the water quality of Gyehwa reservoir in Saemangeum. Relationship of phosphorus fractions between water and sediment properties was closely examined, and a few types of phosphorus were found from the sample sediment as : Saloid-P, Al-P, Fe-P, Ca-P, Red-P and Occd-P. Saloid-P (1.4%), Al-P (0.5%), Fe-P (39.8%), Ca-P (56.6%), Red-P (0.4%), Occd-P (1.3%) were extracted in a mass basis from the sediment of Gyehwa reservoir. Approximately more than 97% of phosphorus were calcium related phosphorus (Ca-P, 56%) and iron bound phosphorus (Fe-P, 39.8%). The Fe-P closely relates with water quality of T-N (r=0.761, p<0.05), $NO_3$-N (r=0.754, p<0.05), $NH_4$-N (r=0.728, p<0.05), T-P (r=0.774, p<0.05) and $PO_4$-P (r=0.767, p<0.05) while the Ca-P did not show any consistent dependency on the water quality. On the other hand, the correlation of Ca-P with $P_2O_5$ was high with r=0.783 (p<0.05) in the sediment. The Fe-P was affected significantly on the Ignition Loss (r=0.569, p<0.05), T-N (r=0.715, p<0.05) and T-P (r=0.983, p<0.01). In the research of correlation between phosphorus fraction and heavy metals in the sediment, Ca-P did not show any specific relationships with heavy metals. The Fe-P showed a significant correlation with As (r=0.817, p<0.01), Cu (r=0.793, p<0.05), Cd (r=0.786, p<0.05), Zn (r=0.738, p<0.05), so that it can be stated that the presence of Fe-P may implicate the volume of various metallic elements.
