Monitoring water surface has become one of the most prominent areas of research in addressing environmental challenges.Accurate and automated detection of watersurface in remote sensing imagesis crucial for disaster prevention, urban planning, and water resource management, particularly for a country where water plays a vital role in human life. However, achieving precise detection poses challenges. Previous studies have explored different approaches,such as analyzing water indexes, like normalized difference water index (NDWI) derived from satellite imagery's visible or infrared bands and using k-means clustering analysis to identify land cover patterns and segment regions based on similar attributes. Nonetheless, challenges persist, notably distinguishing between waterspectralsignatures and cloud shadow or terrain shadow. In thisstudy, our objective is to enhance the precision of water surface detection by constructing a comprehensive water database (DB) using existing digital and land cover maps. This database serves as an initial assumption for automated water index analysis. We utilized 1:5,000 and 1:25,000 digital maps of Korea to extract water surface, specifically rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Additionally, the 1:50,000 and 1:5,000 land cover maps of Korea aided in the extraction process. Our research demonstrates the effectiveness of utilizing a water DB product as our first approach for efficient water surface extraction from satellite images, complemented by our second and third approachesinvolving NDWI analysis and k-means analysis. The image segmentation and binary mask methods were employed for image analysis during the water extraction process. To evaluate the accuracy of our approach, we conducted two assessments using reference and ground truth data that we made during this research. Visual interpretation involved comparing our results with the global surface water (GSW) mask 60 m resolution, revealing significant improvements in quality and resolution. Additionally, accuracy assessment measures, including an overall accuracy of 90% and kappa values exceeding 0.8, further support the efficacy of our methodology. In conclusion, thisstudy'sresults demonstrate enhanced extraction quality and resolution. Through comprehensive assessment, our approach proves effective in achieving high accuracy in delineating watersurfaces from satellite images.

본 연구에서는 시화호의 수질 관리 정책 연구를 위한 최근의 수질 자료 확보를 목적으로 2010년에 시화호 내 외측 해역에서 수질 조사를 수행하였다. 시화호 표층수 수질항목들의 수평적 농도분포는 하천을 통한 담수 유업과 배수갑문을 통한 외해수 유입의 영향으로 인하여 반윌 및 시화 산단 얀근 상류지역에서는 높고 배수갑문으로 갈수록 낮아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 시화호 외해에서는 TN 및 TP가 소래포구에 가까운 곳에서 높은 농도를 나타내었으며, 전체적으로 시화호 내해보다는 상대적으로 낮은 농도를 나타내었다. 시화호 내측의 경우, 여름철 성층 형성 및 저층의 활발한 유기물 분해로 빈산소층이 발달되고 있었다. 수질항목들의 수직적 농도분포의 경우, 용존영양염, TN 및 TP는 표층보다 저층에서 높았지만, COD, 클로로필-a 및 POC는 이와 반대로 저층보다 표층에서 높은 분포를 나타냈다. 시화호 표층수에서 염분은 용존영양염과 양호한 음의 상관성을 보여 담수 기원의 영양염 공급이 확인되었고, 이에 의한 식물플랑크톤의 대증식으로 COD 및 POC가 높게 나타났다.

Ultrafiltration membranes have several advantages over conventional drinking-water treatment. However, this technology presents major limitations, such as irreversible fouling and low removal of natural organic matter. Fouling depends heavily on the raw-water quality as well as on the operating conditions of the process, including flux, permeate recovery, pre-treatment, chemical cleaning, and backwashing. Starting with the premise that the optimisation of operating variables can improve membrane performance, different experiments were conducted in a pilot plant located in Granada (Spain). Several combinations of permeate and backwashing flow rates, backwashing frequencies, and aeration flow rates were tested for low-quality water coming from Genil River with the following results: the effluent quality did not depend on the combination of operating conditions chosen; and the membrane was effective for the removal of microorganisms, turbidity and suspended solids but the yields for the removal of dissolved organic carbon were extremely low. In addition, the threshold transmembrane pressure (-0.7 bar) was reached within a few hours and it was difficult to recover due to the low efficiency of the chemical cleanings. Moreover, greater transmembrane pressure due to fouling also increased the energy consumption, and it was not possible to lower it without compromising the permeate recovery. Finally, the intensification of aeration contributed positively to lengthening the operation times but again raised energy consumption. In light of these findings, the feasibility of ultrafiltration as a single treatment is questioned for low-quality influents.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of tillage and cropping management systems in reducing the movement of nitrate and pesticides in surface and sub-surface flow. Nitrate and pesticides in runoff and sub-surface tile flow have been monitored for two years from fields with various tillage and cropping management practices. Samples have also been obtained along the mainstream of the watershed. Concentrations of nitrate an pesticides differed little among specific sampling locations along the river, but they definitely followed a seasonal cycle. Nitrate concentrations from the tile drains varied considerably between fields depending upon the cropping management systems used, with concentrations varying seasonally as inthe river.

This study presented a surface water quality modeling framework considering the spatial resolution of pollutant load estimation to better represent stream water quality characteristics in the Saemangeum watershed which has been focused on keeping its water resources sustainable after the Saemangeum embankment construction. The watershed delineated into 804 sub-watersheds in total based on the administrative districts, which were units for pollutant load estimation and counted as 739 in the watershed, Digital Elevation Model (DEM), and agricultural structures such as drainage canal. The established model consists of 7 Mangyung (MG) sub-models, 7 Dongjin (DJ) sub-models, and 3 Reclaimed sub-models, and the sub-models were simulated in a sequence of upstream to downstream based on its connectivity. The hydrologic calibration and validation of the model were conducted from 14 flow stations for the period of 2009 and 2013 using an automatic calibration scheme. The model performance to the hydrologic stations for calibration and validation showed that the Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient (NSE) ranged from 0.66 to 0.97, PBIAS were -31.0~16.5 %, and $R^2$ were from 0.75 to 0.98, respectively in a monthly time step and therefore, the model showed its hydrological applicability to the watershed. The water quality calibration and validation were conducted based on the 29 stations with the water quality constituents of DO, BOD, TN, and TP during the same period with the flow. The water quality model were manually calibrated, and generally showed an applicability by resulting reasonable variability and seasonality, although some exceptional simulation results were identified in some upstream stations under low-flow conditions. The spatial subdivision in the model framework were compared with previous studies to assess the consideration of administrative boundaries for watershed delineation, and this study outperformed in flow, but showed a similar level of model performance in water quality. The framework presented here can be applicable in a regional scale watershed as well as in a need of fine-resolution simulation.

Modeling non-point pollution across multiple scales has become an important environmental issue. As a more representative and practical approach in quantifying and qualifying surface water, a modular neural network (MNN) was implemented in this study. Two different site-scales ($1.5\;{\times}\;10^5$ and $1.62\;{\times}\;10^6\;m^2$) with the same plants, soils, and paddy field management practices, were selected. Hydrologic data (rainfall, irrigation and surface discharge) and water quality data (time-series nutrient loadings) were continuously monitored and then used for the verification of MNN performance. Correlation coefficients (R) for the results predicted from the networks versus measured values were within the range of 0.41 to 0.95. The small block could be extrapolated to the large field for the rainfall-surface drainage process. Nutrient prediction produced less favorable results due to the complex phenomena of nutrients in the drainage water. However, the feasibility of using MNN to generate improved prediction accuracy was demonstrated if more hydrologic and environmental data are provided. The study findings confirmed the estimation accuracy of the upscaling from a small-segment block to large-scale paddy field, thereby contributing to the establishment of water quality management for sustainable agriculture.

This paper sought to provide information regarding the water resources in the Philippines, focusing on the issues of water quality, status of water use and water scarcity, and other threats to water availability. Although the country has sufficient amount of water resources, it was found out that water availability is still threatened by some major water resources problems: increasing water demand due to drastic growth in population, water resources pollution, droughts and flooding and weak institutional framework to address these problems. Water quality problems include increasing groundwater and surface water pollution. Moreover, drought and flooding have also increased damages in recent years due to deteriorating watersheds and high economic and population growth. In relation to these, the Government enacted national laws to define and deal with water control and quality management. The objective of this research was to present and evaluate current conditions and issues on Philippine water resources.

Characterization of sediment in the riverbed is of importance for effective water quality management, yet have not been monitored sufficiently. This paper reports monitoring results of nutrient concentrations of sediments. Surface waters and sediments were sampled four times during rainy season at five monitoring points. Organics of overlying water were increased after high flow condition followed by decreasing tendencies. Soluble phosphorus fraction among total phosphorus was increased after high flow condition while total phosphorus was in decreasing tendencies. Monitoring result suggested that more extended monitoring scheme for flow rate, scouring velocity, and suspended material is required for analyzing relationship between water quality and sediment.

현재 우리나라는 수자원단위지도의 표준유역(850개) 및 KRF의 집수구역(7,807개) 등의 기준 도면이 수자원 정책 수립의 기본 도면으로 활용되고 있으나, 물관리 일원화 시점에 맞추어 지표수-지하수의 연계 관리 및 수량-수질 통합관리를 위해서는 보다 적절한 규모의 표준 도면 설정이 필요해 보인다. 지표수에 비하여 지하수는 느린 이동 속도를 보이고 3차원 흐름 특성을 갖고 있으므로 지표수-지하수 연계 평가를 위해서는 광역적 규모의 유역 보다는 준 유역 규모가 보다 효과적인데, 표준유역보다 평균 면적이 작은 KRF 집수구역은 1차 또는 2차 지류를 포함하는 준 유역 규모에 해당한다. 그러나, KRF는 지표수 수계를 기준으로 구역을 구분하였기 때문에 넓은 평지 또는 높은 산악지역에서는 지나치게 작거나 큰 면적을 갖고 있다. 따라서, 지표수-지하수 연계 통합 관리에 적합한 단위 유역은 기존 KRF 집수구역을 수정하여 설정하는 것이 필요하다. 이로부터 설정될 개소 당 약 5 ~ 15 ㎢ 면적의 단위 유역은 지류의 구성과 관정의 위치를 고려할 때 지방자치단체의 수자원 관리의 기본 단위가 될 수 있으며, 물수요-공급 평가, 수문 계측 시스템의 배치, 지하수 허가 총량 기준, 오염의 평가, 정책의 우선 순위 결정 등 실질적인 수자원 통합관리의 기본 수단으로 활용 가능할 것이다.
