  • Recently, rural areas are rapidly developing, while existing infrastructure is inadequate and aging compared to developing rural areas. The most representative of these is the sewer system. Therefore, in this study, the rural area of Gyeonggi A city was selected as the study area and analyzed the effect of the sewer maintenance business on the operation of the sewage treatment plant. The analysis items were pollutant treatment efficiencies, the changes of inflow sewage amount, sewage concentration, influnet load, and C / N ratio by comparing before and after the development. As a result of the analysis, the sewage amount increased significantly after the development, and the sewage concentration increased after the development and the load of the sewage in the wastewater treatment plant also increased after the development. And improvement and management of inflow of unidentified water such as infiltration water and influent water in the sewage pipe was improved due to improvement of sewage pipe, which is considered to have affected the increase of C / N ratio and the improvement of TN and TP removal efficiency. The results of this study can be used as a representative example of the sewerage maintenance project in the rural area that positively influenced the operation of the sewage.

  • The main causes of subsidence and sinkholes in the lower part of urban roads are sewage line foundation and inadequate compaction of backfill material. This leads to many problems, such as the breakage of joints in sewer pipes, poor connection, pipe breakage, and cracks. To solve this problem, the support factor related to the sewer foundation and the safety factor according to the excavation depth were evaluated. For the foundation of rigidity tolerance, crushed stone foundation, and abandoned concrete foundation, a recently newly developed site assembly-type lightweight plastic foundation were used. Backfill materials were applied on site (sandy soil and clayey soil) and fluid backfill was recycled onsite. To evaluate the depth of excavation and the safety factor of each sewer pipe foundation, the design load considering the load factor and the support factor was evaluated. The support coefficients were 0.377 for a crushed stone foundation, 0.243 and 0.220 for an abandoned concrete foundation ($180^{\circ}$ and $120^{\circ}$), and 0.231 for a lightweight plastic foundation and fluid backfill. Overall, the safety factor was low when using the crushed stone foundation, and the safety rate was the highest when the foreclosed concrete foundation ($180^{\circ}$) was used. In addition, when the combination of lightweight plastic and fluid backfill materials was used, the safety factor was higher than that of abandoned concrete foundation ($120^{\circ}$), which means that the newly developed lightweight plastic foundation can be used as another alternative base of a steel pipe.

  • The study was aimed to extract the improvement measures for the problem on GIS application GIS for water supply and sewerage pipeline facility management in the Jechon city. For this, it performed of analysis of their working and modeling with other relational contents of the water and sewer facility management. As the results, the implementation of water and sewer facility management system by use of GIS has to applying development through relational analysis not only pipeline facility and leaking water protection, pipeline network analysis but also digital topography, drawing data, water user's information.

  • The coagulation of combined sewer overflows ($CSO_{s}$) was investigated by jar-testing with several commercial coagulants. $CSO_{s}$ sample showed different characteristics of coagulation from secondary wastewater with three common coagulants, aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride and polyaluminum chloride (PACl). Jar-tests showed that relatively wide range of optimal SS and T-P removal yielded with alum and ferric chloride compared with cationic polymers, though efficient SS and T-P removal can be achieved with all three coagulants. The decrease of pH was caused by the increase in dosage of aluminum sulfate, ferric chloride and PACl as coagulants. The pH was changed from 7.0 to 4.7 with the dosages of ferric chloride 25 mL/L. Aluminum sulfate revealed pH of 5.0 and PACl was highest pH of 5.4 after dosing of coagulants. The optimal pH to treat $CSO_{s}$ with aluminum sulfate were 6-6.5; with PACl 6-7, and with ferric chloride higher than 7.
