A sediment quality index (SQI) and a mean sediment quality guideline quotient (M-SQGQ) were applied for the assessment of sediment quality in Masan Bay, Korea where metals and organic pollutants are of concern. The SQI was calculated by two functions, 'scope' (the number of variables that do not meet guideline objective) and 'amplitude' (the magnitude by which variables exceed guideline objective), with six different sediment quality guideline values from Canada, USA and Australia/New Zealand. Categorization of sediment quality was on the basis of SQI scores. The SQI values were compared with six guideline values applied as well as with the M-SQGQs. The SQI values were severely influenced by a few variables of high exceedance in the degree of non-compliance. The SQI values were very dependent on both the numbers and values of guideline variables used in index caluculation. Nevertheless, the SQI could provide integrated and simplified information from a large number of chemical data set. It is required to further evaluate protocols and guideline applied for deriving SQI and to compare it with field based sediment toxicity test and ecosystem integrity.

수 저층의 퇴적물에서는 자체 내에서의 물질이동과 변환뿐만 아니라 외부로부터 유입된 물질과 수계 자체에서 생성된 여러 물질들이 침강하고 퇴적되고 있다. 또한 퇴적물에서 수층으로 물질들이 용출하는 등 저층의 퇴적물과 수층 간에는 끊임없이 물질교환이 이루어 지고 있다. 수 저층 퇴적물의 오염상태를 나타내는 저질은 수 저층의 퇴적물 자체를 의미하는 것이 아니라 퇴적물의 오염도를 의미하며 이는 수질과는 달리 시 공간적으로 쉽게 변하지 않아 오랜 기간의 수계 환경의 오염 상태를 알 수 있어 최근 수질조사와 더불어 수 환경의 오염도 평가와 수생생물, 저서생물과 관련한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 주요 저질의 항목으로는 영양염과 중금속 함량, 강열감량(IL), 총 황화물(TS), 산화환원치(ORP), COD, 색, 냄새와 악취, 용출량 등이 있다. 이러한 저질 인자들이 하천이나 호소 및 해양의 과거 및 현재의 오염상태를 알 수 있는 오염의 지표로 이용될 수 있으나 퇴적물의 채취방법, 조사 지점 수, 분석방법, 결과의 상호 비교 평가 등의 여러 문제점이 있어 실제 우리나라에서는 저질조사 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있지 않고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저질 조사의 중요성과 채취방법, 각 저질 항목의 분석방법, 저질변동과 분석 및 평가에 관하여 소개하고자 하였다.

This paper describes the influence of nutrient salts eluted from the bottom of a closed water area where polluted sediment has been deposited by inflowing river water. The elution pattern was monitored at our experimental facility. Both the sediment pore water and water above the bottom were sampled using a dialyzer sampler (peeper). The pore water of the eutrophicated sediment contained a large amount of nutrient salts, and the effect of elution was confined to a limited area of the bottom surface. The nutrient concentration of the sediment pore water was closely related to both the water temperature and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration. The eluted nutrients from the sediment provided a source for phytoplankton and algae growth. This experimental data indicated that the water quality of the surface was not directly connected to the eluted nutrient salts, while it was indirectly affected by the total ecosystem, including all the organisms within an area and their environment.

In order to solve water quality problem of domestic dam reservoir, many projects have been performed in a point of view to restoration of water quality. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of release from sediment on water quality and release characteristics. Daecheong dam reservoir was investigated for two years, from 1998 to 1999. The nutrient release rates of Daecheong reservoir is less than foreign eutrophic reservoir at anoxic condition. For the evaluation of the effect of nutrient release on water quality, internal and external loading was calculated at Daecheong reservoir. As total phosphorus loading from sediment is calculated 9.3 ton/yr and inflow loading from Daecheong reservoir watershed 118 ton/yr, internal loading shows the portion of 7.88% to external loading. At this study, because sampling point was choosed at the point where much sediment is accumulated, experimental result is more than average release rates. Because Daecheong reservoir shows complete thermal stratification and anoxic condition below 30m from water surface in summer seasons, released phosphorus from sediment can not transfer to epilimnion and eventually resettles. Therefore sediment has insignificant impacts on water quality on Daecheong dam reservoir.

In Yongwon channel, its natural flow of seawater is blocked by the construction of Busan New Port including the container berth. The channel was transformed into a narrow and long one, where it is possible that ships are only allowed to pass through the north-side channel of Gyeonmado located at the point of river mouth to Songjeongcheon. In addition, Yongwon channel is approximately 100 m wide on average and 3,600 m long, and has the highest slenderness ratio (length/width = 36). So it is considered that the changes in the terrain characteristics of Yongwon channel is likely to alter the circulation of sea water, thereby changing its water quality. In this study, the bottom sediment were collected from the 48 points of the Yongwon channel and the long-term leaching characteristics were analyzed. Thus, changes in sediment and water quality were analyzed through the sediment release test to investigate the degree of contamination. The sediment release from the inside region was higher than the outer region, which is due to the pollutant that comes form the downtown area. The results of this study can be used to predict the water quality in the future and prepare the economically optimized countermeasures to improve the water quality of Yongwon channel, Busan New Port.

In this study, water protection reservoir is selected as the target which is located at the estuary of Taehwa river to analyze and examine the effects of hydraulic structure on river environment. This study examined the water quality variation characteristics among many effects of hydraulic structure on river environment before and after removal of the sediment protection reservoir when low flow is yielded. This study aims at the definition of factors which cause the change of ecological environment of river due to the effects of the sediment protection reservoir, and the proposal of the direction of environmental friendly river space development through the comparison of stream variation conditions(depth, velocity, and etc.) and riverbed variation characteristics with ecological depth condition of Taehwa-river's channel for each representative species of fish and examination those. Firstly, from the examination result of water quality when low flow is yielded before and after removal of the sediment protection reservoir for problems about water quality of river due to flow amount decrease in river, it is found that DO decreases about 0.78~0.86ppm at the lower stream of Myeongchon-gyo, and BOD decreases about 0.06~0.24ppm from right upper stream to the direction of estuary when the sediment protection reservoir is removed. It is known from the above that there is some improvement of water quality from the lower stream of Taehwa-gyo to the estuary in case of removal the sediment protection reservoir. Nextly, it is thought that the effects on ecosystem due to water depth and draw down in channel is not serious on the basis of the examination of water quality analysis result according to removal of sediment protection reservoir and hydraulic depths for reservation of ecosystem, these are 10~40cm for breeding season, 10~50cm for fry period, and 10~100cm for adult period of the representative species of fish in Korea.

The pollution in closing water can be caused by not only artificial factor like sewage but also natural factor like elution from sediment. In this study we analyzed Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) for verification of sediment purification effect and sediment elution experiment as well as general items like COD, TN, TP, SS to complement and assess the effect of sediment and water quality. The experiment result showed that the release rate of OSD system were 4 times and 3 times as large as control for P and Fe respectively. SOD for operated OSD system and control were $12.18gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ and $47.95gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$. From water qualities analyzed by COD, TN, TP, SS, chlorophyll-a, the removal efficiency increase of TN, TP, chlorophyll-a and COD were about 10~20%, 40~50% and 10% respectively. In conclusion, OSD can contribute to improvement of both the waterbody and the sediment environment effectively.
