Water quality of the Lake Youngrang in the Sokcho City is eutrophic. Jangcheon is the largest inflow source to the lake. Major pollutant sources are stormwater runoff from resort areas and various land uses in the Jangcheon watershed. A storm sewer on the southern end of the lake is also an important pollution source. In this study, water quality modelling for Lake Youngrang was carried out considering the rainfall-runoff pollution loads from the watershed. The rainfall-runoff curves and the rainfall-runoff pollutant load curves were derived from the rainfall-runoff survey data during the recent 4 years. The rainfall-runoff pollution loads and flow from the Jangcheon watershed and the storm sewer were estimated using the two kinds of curves, and they were used as the flow and the boundary data of the WASP model. With the measured water quality data of the year 2005 and 2006, WASP model was calibrated. Non-point pollution control measures such as wet pond and infiltration trench were considered as the alternative for water quality management of the lake. The predicted water quality were compared with those under the present condition, and the improvement effect of the lake water quality were analyzed.

The purpose of this study is to analyses 7 metropolitan cites on the urban facility data rather than application systems including water, sewer, and roads and to present the best way to reconfigure of the geospatial data in Korea. Data were mainly compiled from the 2nd NGIS(National Geographic Information Systems: 95-00) because the GIS data of this study is relatively important to generate favorable results due to their data precisely examinate by the 1st NGIS evaluated results. In results, GIS data and invested budget of the Seoul metropolitan government were not only covered 25 distracted areas of the fields, but also were overwhelming other six metropolitan government invested budget. Relatively the Daejeon metropolitan government had least invested budget resulted in Jess geospatial data than others. In particularly there were serious geospatial data error occurred even though geospatial data of the urban infrastructures like water, sewer, and roads including the national infrastructure like elec., comm., heat, oil pipes, and gas were facilitated with human habitants, gas and elec. had very high error data nearly two times high than the permitted error in 30cm. Therefore, this paper exhibited a LiDAR technology to regenerate high accuracy geospatial data of the metropolitan governments because of the new technology's extremely accuracy in 20cm in horizontal scale in fields.

Discharged pollution load for the management of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) is calculated on the basis of rainfall data for reference year. Rainfall has an influence on discharged pollution load in unit watershed with combined sewer system. This study reviewed the status of discharged pollution load and rainfall conditions. We also investigated rainfall effects on discharged pollution load by analyzing change of the load in accordance with increase of rainfall. The change ratio of discharged pollution load was 18.6% while inflow load only 5.8% for 5 years from 2004 to 2008 in Daejeon district. The greatest rainfall and rain days were over 2 times than the least during the period. This change in rainfall could have great effect on discharged pollution load. The analysis showed that discharged pollution load increased 2.1 times in case rainfall increased 2 times and 1.2 times in case rain days increased 2 times. Rainfall effects, therefore, should be considered to make resonable evaluation of discharged pollution load in the assessment of annual performances.

One of the big problems facing municipalities is the management and control of urban flooding where urban drainage systems are under growing pressure due to increases in urbanization, population and changes in the climate. Urban flooding causes environmental and infrastructure damage, especially to roads, this damage increasing maintenance costs. The aim of the present study is to develop a decision support tool to identify the performance of storm networks to address future risks associated with climate change in the Middle East region and specifically, illegal sewer connections in the storm networks of Karbala city, Iraq. The storm water management model has been used to simulate Karbala's storm drainage network using continuous hourly rainfall intensity data from 2008 to 2016. The results indicate that the system is sufficient as designed before consideration of extra sewage due to an illegal sewer connection. Due to climate changes in recent years, rainfall intensity has increased reaching 33.54 mm/h, this change led to flooding in 47% of manholes. Illegal sewage will increase flooding in the storm system at this rainfall intensity from between 39% to 52%.

The Kuem-River, one of the largest rivers in Korea, is the primary water source for more than 4 million people in Kongju city and surrounding area. To study the effect of stormwater runoff to CSOs, twelve monitoring sites were selected in two large cities (City of Kongju and City of Buyeo) near the Kuem-River. Monitoring was reformed by collecting grab samples, measuring flow rates during dry and wet seasons during over two rainy seasons. Generally the flow rate of wastewater in combined sewers was rapidly decreased after 23:00 P.M. and gradually increased from 06:30 A.M. in all sites during the dry season. The concentrations of pollutant increase approximately 5 to 7 fold for TSS and 1.5 to 2.5 fold for BOD during the rainy season. Monitoring and statistical analysis show that the groundwater contributes on sewage volume increase (average 25-45% more) during dry periods and the stormwater runoff contributes approximately 51-72% increase during rainy periods. Generally the concentrations of combined sewage were more polluted during the first flush period than after the first flush during a storm event.

Recently, due to the rapid industrialization and urbanization, a great number of infrastructure and population were concentrated in urban areas. These changes have resulted in unprecedent runoff characteristics in urban basins, and the increase in impermeable areas leads to the growth of the runoff and the peak flow rate. Although many cities have made a lot of efforts to check and expand the stormwater network, the flash flood or the local torrential rain caused a growing number of casualty and property damage. This study analyzed the stormwater passage rate in a target area using SWMM. By incorporating the flow quantity surpassing the storm sewer capacity, a 2D inland flooding analysis model was applied to route the inundated area and velocity.

Hydraulic modeling is widely used to simulate wastewater flow. The simulated models are used to prevent flood and many other problems associated with wastewater flow in planning or rehabilitating sewer systems. In this study, MAKESW (An engineer, South Korea), MOUSE (DHI, Denmark), and SWMM (XPSoftware, USA) are used to for hydraulic modeling of wastewater in C-city, South Korea and E-city, Iraq. These modeling tools produced different results. SWMM comparably overpredicted runoff and peak flow. In using SWMM, use of accurate data with a high confidential level, detail examination over the target basin surface, and the careful selection of a runoff model, which describes Korea's unique hydraulic characteristics are recommended. Modification of existing models through the optimization of variables cannot be achieved at this moment. Setting up an integrated modeling environment is considered to be essential to utilize modeling and further apply the results for various projects. Standardization of GIS database, the criteria for and the scope of model application, and database management systems need to be prepared to expand modeling application.

The study involved the measurement of flowrate and BOD in the Yeoju area and analyzed annual sewerage data by the I/I analysis technique which is common in Korea. The results of this study are as follows. The I/I for the Y-1 site before maintenance and after the completion of the whole process was reduced from 62% to 16.1% respectively with respect to maximum sewage flow per day. The average quality of water increased. The study measured the Y-2 site from a point of time corresponding to an 80% process rate and its I/I rate went up a little from 8.5% to 11.5%. At the Y-3 site, the I/I rate went up a little from 11% to 13.8%, while little change was noted in the average water quality. At the Y-4 site, the I/I rate was reduced from 43% to 16.9% and its average water quality went up. At the Y-5 site, the I/I quantity went up a little however its average water quality also went up largely. Therefore, it was concluded that the Y-5 site showed great improvement due to the sewer pipe maintenance.

Since the end of the 1990s, sewer pipe improvement works have been going on: most septic tanks have been thrown away and discarded. These discarded septic tanks amounts up to 370,000 based on the project plan 2005-2008: it is a serious squander of nation's resources, a contaminating means that buries toxins under soil, and a cause of a expensive waste. Research on recycling of discarded septic tank as a new resource is in urgent need. This research suggests plans to recycle discarded septic tank as a rainwater management facility, solutions to water cycle recovery in the limelight, and economic analysis of the plan. In the case of a recycling discarded septic tank as a rainwater management facility will socially benefit to support economical adequacy, discard cost saving of septic tank and water supply and sewage cost reduction will come out. Consequently a rainwater management facility converted from a discarded septic tank leads to decentralization of the rainwater management system, which anticipates a positive effect on recovery of urban water cycle.

Under current design standard, sewers are designed to drain stormwater generated up to 10 year return period of storms. This implies sewer flooding could occur from rainfall exceeding a 10 year return period. 5, 10, 20 and 30 year return period of storm intensities were calculated for 22 locations (cities) of meterological stations over the nation and compared to the recorded rainfall intensities for the last 30 years. The comparison resulted in the numbers of year maximum rainfall intensities exceeded each return period. Using the questionnaire survey for "the incidences of flooding since 1980" of the previous paper (Survey on sewerage operation/management planning for flooding (I)), the actual rainfall records on the date of flooding events were analyzed to demonstrate the number of flooding events caused by the exceedance of sewer capacity. For the last 30 years, more than 6 years of year maximum rainfall intensity (20%) were larger than the 10 year return period of storm in 4 cities of the 22 used for the first analysis. The number of rainfall records that exceeded the 10 year return period was 50 of the 260 actual flooding events investigated from the survey.
