This study has been conducted to perform the survey on the ecological systems, scenary, and water quality change for agriculturally purposed drainage channels constructed with the application of environment-friendly methods and thus to evaluate the environment-friendly redevelopment effects of them. The main results of this study are as follow: 1. The channels not looking good aesthetically before redevelopment had changed into graceful scenic views from the aspect of landscape architecture as natural-type gently waterside to the channel and naturally-looking water stream. In the village parks developed for the rest of residents, an enough view was secured and thus a wide prospect scope could be obtained. 2. The flora in the channels have increased to 35 families and 82 species from 19 families and 32 species before renovation. As the growth speed of them are slower than externally-brought plants, they can cause some risks to the stability of land slope, including scour by erosion. From that reason, it is necessary to adequately combine the species of the plants both natively growing there and externally-brought planted. 3. In case of water quality, it turned out that, from more than a year after redevelopment, plants began to take roots and the water quality improved. On the contrary, there have been some cases, partly found, that aggravated the quality of water due to the causes like as retention of floating matters by withered plants or plant bodies after the growth of plants in the channels under survey became active, and therefore it is judged that a periodic maintenance of waterways is needed. 4. In case of fishes, all species before renovation have revived, and the population and the number of species have increased after works the formation of puddles in the channels. In waterside grasslands, amphibia and reptiles have not only increased but also been diversified.

Background: This study aimed to identify NO₃^--N sources using the stable isotope δ¹⁵N in Chydorus sphaericus (OF Müller), to investigate hydrological characteristics and nutrient states in artificial wetlands near the Nakdong River. Chydorus sphaericus is dominant in wetlands where aquatic plants are abundant, occurring in high density, and is sensitive to wetland water pollution, making it suitable for identification of NO₃^--N sources. Results: NO₃^--N sources for each wetland were strongly dependent on hydrological characteristics. Wetlands with sewage or rainfall/groundwater as their main sources had high levels of NO₃^--N, whereas wetlands with surface water as their main input had comparatively lower levels. Since wetlands with sewage and rainfall/groundwater as their main water sources were mostly detention ponds, their inputs from tributaries or the main river stream were limited and nutrients such as NO₃^--N easily become concentrated. Changes in NO₃^--N levels at each wetland were closely associated with δ¹⁵N of C. sphaericus. Interestingly, regression analysis also showed positive correlation between δ¹⁵N of C. sphaericus and NO₃^--N level. Conclusions: We conclude that the nitrate stable isotope (δ¹⁵N) of C. sphaericus can be used to elucidate the hydrological characteristics of riverine wetlands. This information is important for maintenance and conservation of artificial wetlands at the Nakdong River.

Changpo Lake was created as a part of a land reclamation for refugee self-helping projects. It shows characteristics of a fresh water lake, and still retains the early appearance of reclamation that surrounding regions have not been developed into farm lands. Shallow wetland has formed around the lake, which provides great conditions for diverse lives, and surrounding earthiness is favorable for growth of vegetation and restoration of the ecosystem. However, as facilities of the Muan International Airport nearby Changpo Lake are expanding and barns are being constructed, artificialness is gradually increasing. Particularly, since pollution sources such as sport facilities, farm lands and barns are scattered around Changpo Lake, pollutants are flowing in constantly. Accordingly, the results for setting up management areas according to the spatial characteristics and creating natural ecological spaces near Changpo Lake, Taebongcheon stream and Hakgyecheon stream are as follows. First, the creation of a natural eco-friendly waterfront space should be promoted by securing the health of the aquatic ecosystem and restoring species and the ecosystem. In addition, a consultative body needs to be formed to lead local residents to participating in river investigation and monitoring, maintenance, and management through role sharing. Second, the basic direction of the spatial management plan is to keep the unique charm of Changpo Lake, maintain harmony with nature, create diverse waterfront areas, and secure the continuity of Changpo Lake and inflow streams. Moreover, the area should be divided into three zones such as a conservation zone, a restoration zone and a waterfront zone, and for each zone, the preservation of vegetation, the creation of ecological wetlands and restoration of the ecotone and ecological nature need to be promoted. Third, facilities and activity programs for each space of Changpo Lake should be operated for efficient management of protected areas. In order to suit the status of each space, biological habitats, water purification spaces, experiential and learning spaces, and convenience and rest spaces should be organized and designated as research, monitoring, education, and tourism areas. Accordingly, points of interest should be set up within the corresponding area. In this study, there are many parts that need to be supplemented for immediate implementation since the detailed plans and project costs for the promotion of programs by area are not calculated. Therefore, it is necessary to make detailed project plans and consider related projects such as water quality, restoration of habitats, nature learning and observation, and experience of ecological environments based on the categories such as research, monitoring, education and tourism in the future.

In recent years, river maintenance projects using natural methods have been continuously implemented in urban areas and methods emphasizing ecology are being developed and constructed in revetment areas. However, there is insufficient technical review on the hydraulic stability of those revetment methods during the event of flood. Therefore, a hydraulic analysis is necessary for the stream where revetments are applied. This study was conducted to develop an objective test method for the hydraulic stability of green revetment media. For this purpose, hydraulic model tests were performed for the green base materials for revetments. Tests were conducted using experimental devices for the hydraulic model which were installed to simulate the rapid current during the flood. Loss of soil by the hydraulic condition was compared and analyzed with that of dry green revetment media, and the evaluations were made on the corrosion resistance, tractive force, and contractile force. Test results showed that green revetment media had higher corrosion resistance in non-vegetation condition compared to dry green revetment media, and the loss of base materials by the rooting of vegetation showed significant reduction by the vegetation. In addition, results of the allowable tractive force of the base material indicated it is relatively stable in vegetation condition but scouring can occur in non-vegetation condition. Therefore, the development of vegetation in revetment areas is anticipated to be effective for the stability of revetment areas by reducing external forces interacting with the corrosion resistance and stream bank. The green revetment media in expected to contribute to the stability of revetment areas.

최근 들어 하천의 치수와 이수 그리고 환경적 측면을 고려한 '생태하천복원'이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 개별적 특성이 뚜렷한 각각의 하천에서 그 하천을 기반으로 생활하는 생물들의 서식조건을 충분히 고려하였다고 보기는 어려운 상황이며, 제한된 공법의 사용으로 획일화된 인공하천 조성 및 관행적 하도정비에 그쳐 하도서식처가 빈번하게 교란되고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 하천을 서식기반으로 살아가는 생물들의 서식공간에 대하여 검토한 기초적 연구로서, 국내하천을 하천특성에 따라 모래하천과 자갈하천으로 구분하고, 각 하천의 구간을 도심구간과 자연하천구간으로 나누어 각각의 서식유형을 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과, 모래하천보다는 자갈하천에서 보다 다양한 형태의 생물서식처 유형이 검토되었으며, 하천복원사업을 이미 시행한 도심하천구간에서도 생물서식처 유형이 자연하천구간에서 나타나는 생물서식처유형의 약 56.3 %정도에 머무르고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

연구는 월지(안압지)의 수질 관리 문제를 유지용수의 순환 체계와 연관지어 접근하였다. 이를 위해 연못의 순환체계와 관련 깊은 입·출수 체계를 검토하였으며, 기존의 입·출수시설 외에 선행 연구에서 제기되었던 추정 입·출수시설을 분석하였다. 입수시설을 검토한 결과, 현재 입수구인 월지 동남측 호안 입수시설은 남북 담장을 사이에 두고 동편의 정원시설(경석, 곡수로, 저수시설)과 수로로 연결된 것으로 파악되었다. 월지 동편 조사에서 별도의 시설군이 있었던 것으로 보이며 1920년대 실측 도면에 경석군이 확인된 것이 이를 뒷받침한다. 추정 입수구인 남서측 호안 입수시설은 월지 서편 건물지 임해전(臨海殿) 터에 남아 있는 화강암 수로와 연관성이 있어 보인다. 월지 남서측 호안을 향해 경사가 낮아지고, 거름망을 꽂았던 홈, 1920년대 실측 도면과 1975년 측량 도면의 입수구에 경석이 배석되어 있는 것으로 보아 깨끗한 물을 입수시키기 위한 것으로 판단된다. 출수시설과 관련하여 북측 호안 출수시설은 총 5단계로 구성되어 있는데, 이 중 목제 수로와 장대석군 집수시설의 기능은 월지의 물을 배수하기 위한 시설만으로는 보이지 않는다. 목제 수로에 나무 물마개가 있는 점과 마지막 단계에 집수시설이 있는 점으로 미루어보아 상황에 따라 발천의 물이 역으로 입수될 수 있다고 판단된다. 즉 북측 호안 출수시설은 양방향으로 물이 드나들었으며 장대석군 집수시설을 통해 개폐 가능한 목제 수로로 입수되기도 한 것으로 판단된다. 추정 출수구인 서측 호안 출수시설은 북측 호안의 출수시설과 매우 유사함을 볼 때 신라시대에 존재하였거나 후대의 어느 시점에 북측 호안 출수시설을 모방하여 만들었을 것이라는 추정 외에는 어려운 실정이다. 다만 조선시대 어느 시점까지는 농업용수 공급을 위한 출수시설로 기능하였을 것으로 보인다. 이상과 같이 월지는 신라 왕경 중심부인 동궁의 시설과 유기적으로 얽혀 있는 체계화된 배수망에 의해서 입·출수가 이루어졌다. 이를 통해 월지를 비롯한 각 시설군에 물이 입수되었으며 왕경 중심부의 중요한 인공 하천인 발천(撥川)을 통해 남천(南川)으로 연결되는 배수 체계를 가지고 있었다.

TTo comply with increasingly strict regulations for protection against radiation exposure, many nuclear power plants have been working ceaselessly to reduce and control both the radiation sources within power plants and the radiation exposure experienced by operational and maintenance personnel. Many research studies have shown that deposits of irradiated corrosion products on the surfaces of coolant systems are the main cause of occupational radiation exposure in nuclear power plant. These corrosion product deposits on the fuel-clad surface are also known to be main factors in the onset of axial offset anomaly (AOA). Hence, there is a great deal of ongoing research on water chermistry and corrosion processes. In this study, a magnetic filter with permanent magnets was devised to remove the corrosion products in the coolant stream by taking advantage of the magnetic properties of the corrosion products demonstrated a removal efficiency of over 90% for particles above 5${\mu}m$. This finding led to the construction of an electromagnetic device that causes the metallic particulates to flocculate into larger aggregates of about 5${\mu}m$ in diameter by using a novel application of electromagnetic flocculation on radioactive corrosion products.

The primary purpose of dredging work is to maintain navigational readiness and to increase environmental amenity. Therefore the dredging project, which is composed of excavating, removing, transporting and storing or dumping dredged material, must be carefully managed to insure that dredging works are completed in a cost-effective and environmentally safe method. The most important point in dumping operations is evaluating and decreasing the impacts of dumping works at the dumping area. One of the most effective method for this purpose is using the schematic process composed of the sophisticate plan, precise work and predicting/reducing the impacts based on an numerical model being closely linked with field observation. In this study, a numerical model is used to predict the spatial transport and fate of the effluent discharged from the confined dumping facility(CDF) located at a coastal area. To achive this purpose, numerical models were used for reappearing the tidal current of concerned area. These models were then applied to Mokpo harbpr where capital dredging and maintenance dredging are being conducted simultaneously and the CDF is under construction. In series of model case study, we found that the effluent discharged from CDF was governed by the receiving water condition and outfall geometry, so that limit of near-field was 14∼500 meter down stream and 4∼150 meter in transverse direction. dilution ranged from 1.1 to 8.2 on the cases. Long-term diffusion characteristics was governed by the dilution rate during near-field behavior, ambient conditions and CDF operation modes.
