Shiwha Lake is an excellent example of a body of water restored from a state of heavy pollution to a cleaner and more ecological state. This paper will explore techniques and methods available to landscape planning for the creation of new migratory birds habitats in Shiwha Lake. Because Shiwha lake is located adjacent to a new industrial site on reclaimed land, any planning effort aimed at restoring bird habitats must carefully consider the existing context. This plan had 3 goals; (1) to restore the coastal environment, (2) to create a habitat for migratory birds, and (3) to administer environmental education programs. To achieve these goals, several objectives were determined and planning criteria were proposed for topology, water environment(fresh, brackish and salt water swamps), zoning(for experts and general visitors), circulations, planting and mounding. The flora and fauna of the site was surveyed, and 5 alternatives were suggested and compared in several aspects. Planting species were carefully selected considering target birds and habitat requirements. In order to increase bio-diversity of the site, the plan proposed multi-staired mounds and extensive drainage systems. Bird watching facilities with natural materials, and the remote observing system using CCTV and the internet were some of the ecological techniques recommended by the plan. The bird watching trails are divided into two different zones for experts and general visitors.

To evaluate the change for water quality after the water gate operation in Shiwha lake, in situ survey were conducted on september in 2000 and January, march, jane in 2001. Chemical characteristics and eutrophication level was estimated from the survey data. The water quality of the Shihwa lake was greatly affected by pollutant load from rainfall, and formation of stratification in summer and winter was increased to effect on nutrient release from sediment. Especially, high concentration of chlorophyll-a was occurred in autumn, due to increased nutrient, high water temperature and low salinity after rainfall runoff. The mean concentration of DIN, DIP were 0.346mg/L, 0.0217mg/L in surface water and 0.826mg/L, 0.0415mg/L in bottom water, respectively, which were over III grade of seawater standard. Also high percentage of ammonia nitrogen to DIN in bottom water for autumn and winter was affected by released nutrient from sediment. Correlation analysis of chlorophyll-a versus TSS was shown that organic matter was affected by autochthonous organic matter stem from the algae, these factor showed reverse correlation about salinity. Closely correlations among to the water quality constituent in continuity survey was appeared. The results of eutrophication index estimation showed the high potentiality of red tide occurrence in Shiwha lake, particularity in summer or fall. Overall water quality was greatly improve to compared with measuring data during 1997~1998 at the beginning water gate operation, which reported by KORDI. Therefore, to improve of water quality in Shiwha lake, we need to establish of management plan about nutrient release from sediment, rainfall runoff, maximum of seawater exchange.

In order to determine the changes of sediment facies and metal levels in surface sediments after the construction of Shiwha Lake, surface sediments were sampled at 8 sites located on the main channel monthly from June, 1995 to August, 1996 and analysed for 12 metals (Al, Fe, Mn, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, As and Pb) by ICP/AES and ICP/MS. Two groups of sampling sites(the inner lake with 3 sites and the outer lake with 5 sites) are subdivided by the surface morphology ; the inner lake is a shallow channel area with a gentle slope, while the outer lake is relatively deep and wide channel with a steep slope which has many small distributaries. After the construction of dam, fine terrestrial materials were deposited near the outer lake, which resulted in the change of major sediment facies from sandy silt to mud. With the deposition of fine sediments in the outer lake, anoxic water column induced the formation of sulfide compounds with Cu, Cd, Zn and part of Pb. Metal (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd) contents in sediments increased up to twice within 2 years after the construction of dam. This is due to the direct input of industrial and municipal wastes into the lake and the accumulation of metals within the lake. In addition, frequent resuspension of contaminated sediments in a shallow part of the lake may make metal-enriched materials transport near the outer lake with fine terrestrial materials. As the enrichment of Cu, Zn, Cd and part of Pb in the Shiwha Lake may be related to the formation of unstable sulfide compounds by sulfate reduction in anoxic water or sediment column, the effect of mixing with open coastal seawater is discussed.

Harsh seawater environment is subdivided into marine atmosphere, splash zone, tidal zone, submerged zone and bottom of sea depending on the exposed part. Since corrosion rate depends on the conditions of the exposed parts, proper protection and maintenance for each parts are essential for long-term use of steel structures in seawater environment. For steel structures which were installed in Shiwha Lake, a special maintenance system is required to guarantee its long-term durability and safety. As the tidal power plant has recently been operated, the salinity has risen due to the rapid influx of seawater upstream into Sihwa Lake and the corrosion tendency of the structure is variable according to the water level fluctuation. In this study, corrosion properties of steel structures under water level fluctuation was evaluated by corrosion rate measurement, visual inspection and natural potential measurement and their durability and life management were discussed in view of the effect of variation in of seawater level fluctuations in Shihwa Lake.

Lake Shiwha, an artificial lake located near metropolitan Seoul, offers a unique water environment and has been suspected to have high levels of chemical and microbiological contaminations. Lake Shiwha was originally connected to the sea but currently has four major surface water inputs from agricultural, municipal, industrial areas and in addition an occasional inflow from the sea. The objectives of this study are to investigate the relative contribution of microbial contaminants from each of the inflowing surface waters and to identify appropriate microbial indicator organisms in this unique water environment. We measured the levels of microbial contaminations in the four inflowing surface waters. A number of microbial indicator organisms including total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC), E. coli, Enterococci, somatic and male-specific coliphages were analyzed. Bacterial indicator microorganisms were detected and quantified by the $Colilert^{(R)},\;Enterolert^{(R)}$ kit. Surface water (50 l) was sampled by $ViroCap^{TM}\;5"$ cartridge filters and analyzed by the single agar layer method for detecting coliphages. The concentrations of TC, FC, E. coli, and Enterococci were 1543 CFU/100 ml${\sim}1.99{\times}10^6$ CFU/100 ml, 0 CFU/100 ml${\sim}202$ CFU/100ml, 0 CFU/100 ml${\sim}1.80{\sim}10^5$ CFU/100ml, 74 CFU/100 ml${\sim}3408$ CFU/100 ml, respectively. The male-specific and somatic coliphages were detected in three different inflowing surface waters. Isolated E. coli and Enterococci strains were further analyzed by 16s rDNA amplification and subsequent phylogenetic analysis from Jungwang-chun, Ansan-chun, Banwol-chun and penstock of inflowing surface water. Our results indicated that the concentrations of different fecal indicator microorganisms might not be highly correlated with each other. Multiple microbial indicator organisms should be used for monitoring microbial contamination and microbial source tracking methods.

방조제 건설에 의해 1994년 형성된 시화호에서 1995년 10월부터 1996년 8월까지 박테리아 개체수 및 생산력의 분포에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 시화호는 6~20‰의 염분을 갖는 기수성 상층과 17~27‰의 염분 분포를 보이며 저산소/무산소 상태를 갖는 고염성 저층으로 나누어졌다. 시화호의 유광대에서 측정된 엽록소 a 농도는 1996년 3월(평균 13 ${\mu}g\;l^{-1}$)을 제외하면 조사 기간동안 27.6~249.5 ${\mu}g\;l^{-1}$로 높은 값을 보여, 대부분의 기간동안 과영양화된 특성을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 $^3H$-thymidine 고정법에 의해 측정된 박테리아 생산력은 $^{14}C$-leucine 고정법에 의해 얻어진 박테리아 생산력과 유사한 값을 보였다. 과영양화된 시화호 상층에서 박테리아 개체수와 생산력은 각각 $1.4{\sim}19.5{\times}10^9\;cells\;l^{-1}$와 $1.6{\sim}126.5{\times}10^7\;cells\;l^{-1}\;h^{-1}$ 범위의 값으로 부영양화된 시화 방조제 외측의 연안 환경에 비해 각각 2~4배와 2~30배 정도 높은 박테리아 개체수와 생산력을 보였다. 그리고 시화호 상층에서 박테리아 군집의 회전시간은 0.2~8.9일로 짧아, 박테리아가 과영양화에 적응하여 빠르게 성장하고 있음을 제시하였다. 한편 시화호 저층의 환경에서 박테리아 개체수와 생산력은 상층에 비해 각각 3배와 20배까지 낮은 값을 보여, 저산소 환경에서 박테리아가 느리게 성장함을 나타내었다. 시화호 상층에서 박테리아 개체수, 생산력과 군집회전시간은 수온과 유의한 상관관계를 나타내어, 수온이 박테리아의 분포 및 성장을 조절하는 중요한 요인임을 시사하였다. 그러나 여름에는 수온보다 기질의 공급에 의해 박테리아 생산력이 조절되는 듯한 양상을 보였다.

Annual variation of water qualities in the Shihwa Lake were observed 18 times from June 1996 to October 2001. We studied at the station of the upper streams and near the water gate of lake. After the flow of the outer seawater through the water gate, the surface salinity in Shihwa Lake increased to the range of 25-30 psu in both stations after October 1998. Due to the declination of the salinity differences between the surface and the bottom water, the pycnocline in which had existed until 1997 has weakened, and made the water column mix vertically. This led to the improvement of anoxic/hypoxic environment at bottom waters after April 1998. However, despite the continuous flow of the outer seawater, the concentrations of chlorophyll-a at surface layer were varied from $2{\mu}g/l\;to\;60{\mu}g/l$, and these values indicated the eutrophication. The following organic matter load was greatly influencing the surface layer's COD concentration. During the rainy season, the salinity at the surface layer to the below 15 psu resulting in stratification between the surface and bottom layer. Organic matters that were provided from the surface layer to the bottom layer due to active primary production in the year exhausted dissolved oxygen at the bottom layer, and the bulks of organic matters at bottom gave rise to hypoxic or anoxic environment. It was observed that the enrichment of ammonia and phosphate were main factors to worsen the water quality of the Shihwa Lake. The results of examining the annual variations in Shiwha Lake through principal component analysis shown that water characteristics in the rainy season were similar with those before input of outer sea water.

Anoxic sediments collected from Shiwha-ho area were used to find the relationship between the heavy-metal, organic content and anaerobic respiration bacteria by most probable number (MPN) method. Analysis of the sediments showed that COD content was higher in the sediments collected from Ansan-cheon and Shiwha-ho than those collected from sea area nearby. Particularly noticeable was the fact that heavy metal concentration was much higher in the sediments of Shiwha-ho area contaminated by heavy-metal, although they were rich in electron donor and electron acceptor for Fe(III)-reducing bacteria using lactate as an electron donor was in the range of 1.1$\times$106-4.6$\times$107MPNs/ml in the sediments collected from the sea-side of the lake, which were lower in heavy-methal concentration and higher in Fe-Mn content than those from other region. The number of Fe(III)-reducing bacteria using acetate as an electron donor was in the rang eof 4.3$\times$102-8.1$\times$105MPNs/ml in the same sediments. Chromate-reducing bacteria were more populated(4.6$\times$104-8.1$\times$105MPNs/ml) in the sediments contaminated by heavy metals. The number of sulfate-reducing bacteria wee counted in the sediments collected from the more contaminate inner-side than those from the sea-side of the lake.

Remotely sensed data is regarded as a potentially effective data source for the measurement of water quality and for the environmental change of water bodies. In this study, we measured the spectral reflectance by using multi-spectral image of low resolution camera(LRC) which will be loaded in the OSMI multi-purpose satellite(KOMPSAT) scheduled to be launched on 1999 to use the data in analyzing water pollution. We also investigated the possibility of extraction of water quality factors in water bodies by using remotely sensed low resolution data such as NOAA/AVHRR. In this study, Shiwha-District and Sang-Sam Lake was set up as the subject areas for the study. In this part of the study, we measured the spectral reflectance of the water surface to analyze the radiance of the water bodies in low resolution spectral band and tried to analyze the water quality factors in water bodies by using radiance feature from another remotely sensed data such as NOAA/AVHRR. As the method of this study, first, we measured the spectral reflectance of the water surface by using SFOV( Single Field of View) to measure the reflectance of water quality analysis from every channel in LRC spectral band(0.4~O.9${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Second, we investigated the usefulness of ground truth data and the LRC data by measuring every spectral reflectance of water quality factors. Third, we analyzed water quality factors by using the radiance feature from another remotely sensed data such as NOAA/AVHRR. We carried out ratio process of what we selected Chlorophyll-a and suspended sediments as the first factors of the water quality. The results of the analysis are below. First, the amount of pollutants of Shiwha-Lake has been increasing every you since 1987 by factors of eutrophication. Second, as a result of the reflectance, Chlorophyll-a represented high spectral reflectance mainly around 0.52${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of green spectral band, and turbidity represented high spectral reflectance at 0.57${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. But suspended sediments absorbed high at 0.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Third, Chlorophyll-a and suspended sediments could have a distribution chart as a result of the water quality analysis by using NOAA/AVHRR data.
