Human Astrovirus (HuAstV) is an important gastrointestinal pathogen that is frequently reported worldwide. Monitoring of contaminated groundwater has been suggested since HuAstV is transmitted through the fecal-oral route. This study developed a test method based on conventional reverse transcription (RT)-nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that involves SL^® non-specific reaction inhibitor for unknown non-specific amplification taking place in the groundwater environment. An optimal method for detecting HuAstV in groundwater sample through analysis and comparison against conventionally reported method was also suggested. The developed method enabled the production of nested PCR amplicon of 630 nt, which is a sufficient length for similarity analysis based on sequencing and genotyping. Amplicons suspected to be HuAstV were amplified in two out of the twenty groundwater samples collected in Korea, presenting 99.77% and 99.73% similarity against HuAstV 1 strain lhar/2011/kor (JN887820.1) in sequencing, respectively. These amplicons were identified as HuAstV 1.

This study attempts to establish sewerage underground facility map using aerial photograph with high readability and accessibility as an alternative of digital map and compilation cadastral map. A study on utility and consistency of established sewerage underground facility map in line with the current continuous cadastral map of underground facility was carried out. If underground facility map is established and utilized by converging digital image and compilation cadastral map, various spatial information analysis and systematic and integrated information utilization is available. The drawing of underground facility map using aerial photograph in this highly information-oriented society shall play a role in basic map for integrated control as an alternative of problems in the current drawing and designs created and managed by controlling institutions. In addition, the information of sewerage underground facility map using aerial photograph shall be used for establishing systematized urban planning and control.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of sewerage facilities through I/I analysis by rainfall by selecting areas where storm overflow diverging chamber is remained due to the non-maintenance drainage equipment when the sewerage system was reconstructed as a separate sewer system. Research has shown that wet weather flow(WWF) increased from 106.2% to 154.8% compared to dry weather flow(DWF) in intercepting sewers, and that the WWF increased from 122.4% to 257.6% in comparison to DWF in storm overflow diverging chamber. As a result, owing to storm overflow diverging chamber of partially separate sewer system with untreated tributary of sewage treatment plant, rainfall-derived infiltration/inflow(RDII) has been analyzed 2.7 times higher than the areas without storm overflow diverging chamber. Meanwhile, infiltration quantity of this study area was relatively higher than that of other study areas. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce infiltration quantity through sewer pipe maintenance nearby river. Drainage equipment maintenance should be performed not to operate storm overflow diverging chamber in order to handle the appropriate sewage treatment plant capacity for rainfall because it is also expected that RDII due to rain will occur after maintenance. In conclusion, it is necessary to recognize aRDII(allowance of rainfall-derived infiltration/inflow) and to be reflected it on sewage treatment plant capacity because aRDII can occur even after maintenance to the complete separate sewer system.

A nationwide questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the actual conditions of local authorities in operating and maintaining sewerage systems especially for urban flooding. The questionnaire includes the incidences of flooding since 1980, the existence of any guidance for preventing flood damage and the design frequency currently used for sewers in each local authority. Among 160 local authorities responded to the survey, 95(59.3%) has experienced flooding more than once since 1980 while only 36(37.9%) of the 95 has prepared operation/maintenance guidelines for flooding. Most of the respondents have applied the 10 year design frequency for sewer design and 57(35.6%) of them agreed to adjust the 10 year design frequency regulation.

Explicit equations of minimum velocity, energy slope and pipe diameter are developed to ensure the cleaning of sewerage pipes. The equations of power form are employed for the estimation of critical shear stress of sediment particles and the friction factor of commercial pipes. They are all based on the existing laboratory data. Several cases are tested to check the values suggested in the manual, using the equations developed in the present study.

In this study, environmental impact assessments of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), sewerage system, and tailrace were performed using LCA methodology. The life cycle stages were divided into 3 categories; construction stage, maintenance stage and demolition & disposal stage. As a tool of impact assessment, Ecoindicator99 containing fate analysis, exposure & effect analysis and damage analysis, was used. As tile results of WWTP LCA, more than 80% of environmental impact was produced from maintenance stage. On the other hand, most of environmental impact was produced from construction stage in the case of tailrace and sewerage system construction.

This study is to find out the reasonable drainage system of sewerage in connection with the geographical conditions, the form of city, and the problem of sewerage in and around Seoul. (1) In supplying the sewerage sewer, the separating system is desirable in connection with the problem of sewerage disposal in future. However, in the existing urban district, the conjunction system is used because of the large amount invested according to the diversion of the sewer of the separation system and the influence of the traffic communication. The sewer of the separating system should be used in the case of the fundamental reconstruction of structure as the redevelopment of the urban district or the subway and new-development of area. Therefore, the separating system should be used completely until the goal year. (2) Drainage area was divided for the natural flowing, considering that the 38 streams and topography paly a role of the main stream of drainage. There are the branches, Guyui, Dug-island, Jayang, Hannam, Banpo, Amsa whose divisions are impossible. In these branches, the drain planning was suggested a forced control method by using the exiting pond age and the pumping station. (3) The best available method which improbes the water quality in Han river is as follows. The sewerage is catched and carried to the sewerage disposal plant by establishing the intercept sewer in both or one side of stream. At the same time, the groudwater volume which springs in each stream is drained separatively.

This study was performed to compare international analytical methods of bromide and applied to determine bromide in bottled mineral water and raw ground water in Korea. Bromide in water was eluted by 10~50 mM potassium hydroxide (KOH) and determined by ion chromatography-suppressed conductivity detector (IC-CD). Sample was purified with Ba- and H-on-guard cartridge and $0.2\;{\mu}m$ membrane filter. The method detection limit (MDL) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) of bromide were 0.2 and $0.5\;{\mu}g/L$, respectively. The calibration curve showed good lineality above 0.9993 in the ranges of the $0.5\sim80\;{\mu}g/L$. A correlation coefficient of bromide in ground water and sum of bromide and bromate in bottled mineral water is 0.808.

Tan-Sui River Basin covers Taipei metropolitan area of 2,726 square kilometers with more than six million residents. Since 1988, Taiwan government started to plan and construct an integrated sewerage system, consisted by both separated and concentrated trunk sewers, wastewater treatment plants and ocean outfalls. This presentation will introduce the master plan and major facilities of Tan-Sui River Basin sewerage system. Other measures to protect general water quality and the environment of adjacent river basin area of Tan-Sui River and her tributaries by Taiwan EPA will be presented as well.
