The use household water purifier is continuously increasing due to the distrust of the piped, rap water, which may be caused by the deterioration of water quality and water supply facilities in Korea. The water purifier distributing in the domestic market is the membrane type that composes of membrane as a basic filter, sediment filter as a prefilter and activated carbon filter instead of one purifying water system. The membrane type using as a water cleaning system is mainly the method of micro filtration(NIF) as well as ultra filtration(UF) and reverse osmosis(RO). The types of MF and UF are using to remove suspended solids and virus, and RO is using to remove ionic compound in chemical organic compounds. At the beginning the household water purifier was imported as end-product or assembled by only importing module from small businesses in Korea. Therefore, people was hard to confide in the product quality because the sales policy and management of water purifier by small business were not effectively organized. However, the defects of water purifier having up to now ate improving by the efforts of special branches of water purifier and large enterprises, and new great products are developing and producing. To develop the best quality product of water purifier in Korea, it should be considered seasonal water characteristrics rather than any other condition. For example, the water purifier can be affected by the water temperature change, increase of suspended solids in the rainy season and inflow of raw water having concentration in a dry season. The subject we have to investigate in the future is to develop the water purifying system adaptable in Korea which can treat the water quality using close analyses of local and seasonal water characteristics.

A two-dimensional (2D), laterally-averaged hydrodynamic and water quality model, CE-QUAL-W2 was applied to evaluate the performance on simulating the effect of flushing from Daecheong Reservoir on the downstream water quality variations during the flushing events held on November, 2003 and March, 2008. The hydraulic and water quality simulation results were compared with field measurement data, as well as a one-dimensional (1D), unsteady model (KORIV1) that revealed limited capability in the previous study due to missing the resuspension process of river bottom sediments. The results showed that although the 2D model made satisfactory performance in reproducing the temporal variations of dissolved matters including phosphate, ammonia and nitrate, it revealed poor performance in simulating the increase of biological oxygen demand and suspended sediment (SS) concentrations during the passage of the flushing flow. The reason of the error was that the resuspension process of the 2D model is only the function of shear stress induced by wind. In reality, however, as shown by significant correlation between bottom shear stress ($\tau$) and observed SS concentration, the resuspension process can be significantly influenced by current velocity in the riverine system, especially during flushing event. The results indicate that the resuspension of river bottom materials should be incorporated into the water quality modeling processes if $\tau$ is greater than a critical shear stress (${\tau}_c$) for better simulation of flushing effect.

This study was conducted to test the efficiency of water quality improvement using the dissolved air flotation (DAF) technique in a shallow eutrophic reservoir. The application of DAF was followed by the addition of a chemical coagulant (poly aluminum chloride; PAC). The experiment was conducted in the mesocosm scale (wide ${\times}$ length ${\times}$ depth: 6 m ${\times}$ 6 m ${\times}$ 3 m). Suspended solids (SS) and volatile SS (VSS) concentration decreased by 54 ${\sim}$ 71% and 57 ${\sim}$ 79% of the initial concentrations, respectively. Total phosphorus and Chl- a concentration also decreased by 74 ${\sim}$ 92% and 54 ${\sim}$ 98%, respectively. BOD decreased by>86% while COD decrease ranged 29 ${\sim}$ 63%. Dissolved inorganic P (DIP) and dissolved total P (DTP) concentration decreased by 34 ${\sim}$ 88% and 62 ${\sim}$ 88%, respectively. After DAF application further onto the sediment, DIP-release rates from the sediment decreased by 17% (0.82 ${\to}$ 0.68 mg $m^{-2}$$day^{-1}$ in the oxic condition and 23% (2.27 ${\to}$ 1.76 mg $m^{-2}$$day^{-1}$) in the anoxic condition, compared to the release rate from the untreated sediment. DTP-release rate from both the oxic and anoxic sediments also decreased by 33% (5.62 ${\to}$ 3.78 mg $m^{-2}$$day^{-1}$) and 20% (6.23 ${\to}$ 4.99 mg $m^{-2}$$day^{-1}$), respectively. These results suggest that the DAF application both to the water column and onto the sediment be effective to improve water quality by removing particulate matters in the water column as well as reducing P-release from the sediment.

Convective-diffusion equations appear in various disciplines such as hydrology, chemical engineering and oceanography dealing with the transport problem of scalar quantities. Since it is nonlinear, numerical methods are generally used to obtain its solution. Very limited number of analytical solutions are available usually in cases when the convective velocity is constant or has a simple functional form (for some collection of the solutions, see Noye, 1987). There is however a continuing need to develop analytical solutions because of its practical importance. Analytical solutions of the convection-diffusion equation are valuable not only for the better understanding on the transport process but the verification of numerical schemes. (omitted)

본 연구의 목적은 음파를 이용하는 유속계로부터 관측된 후방산란강도와 실측된 부유사농도의 상관관계를 해석하여, 두 인자 사이의 관련 매개변수를 정량적으로 산정하고 관계식을 도출하는데 있다. 이를 위해 층별 유속계인 Aquadopp Profiler를 사용하여 사질 퇴적물 및 고령토 부유퇴적물 관측센서 검보정 챔버 실험을 수행하였다. 두 인자의 상관관계는 선형회귀분석을 통해 해석하였으며 그 결과로 도출된 접합곡선의 기울기는 각각 안목 A1 이 2.065, 안목 A2가 1.576, 고령토시료일 때 2.588의 값을 갖는데 이러한 차이는 시료 특성으로 설명될 수 있다. 서로 다른 입경을 갖는 시료는 후방산란 민감도에 차이가 있으며 이러한 영향으로 두 시료에서 산정된 계수 값에 차이가 발생한다. 본 연구를 통하여 도출된 측정 결과들은 후방산란강도에 미치는 수층 부유입자들의 영향이 매우 큼을 잘 보여준다. 일반적으로 수층 부유입자는 저면 퇴적물이 부유된 것으로 간주될 수 있으며, 또한 저면 퇴적물은 각 해역별로 site-specific 하다고 할 수 있다.

Water quality prediction is essential for the proper management of water supply systems. Increased suspended sediment concentration (SSC) has various effects on water supply systems such as increased treatment cost and consequently, there have been various efforts to develop a model for predicting SSC. However, SSC is affected by both the natural and anthropogenic environment, making it challenging to predict SSC. Recently, advanced machine learning models have increasingly been used for water quality prediction. This study developed an ensemble machine learning model to predict SSC using the XGBoost (XGB) algorithm. The observed discharge (Q) and SSC in two fields monitoring stations were used to develop the model. The input variables were clustered in two groups with low and high ranges of Q using the k-means clustering algorithm. Then each group of data was separately used to optimize XGB (Model 1). The model performance was compared with that of the XGB model using the entire data (Model 2). The models were evaluated by mean squared error-ob servation standard deviation ratio (RSR) and root mean squared error. The RSR were 0.51 and 0.57 in the two monitoring stations for Model 2, respectively, while the model performance improved to RSR 0.46 and 0.55, respectively, for Model 1.

하상을 구성하는 사립자들이 흐름에 의해 움직이기 시작하는 상태를 한계운동이라 하며, 한계운동이 시작될 때의 흐름조건을 한계조건이라 한다. 흐름에 부유되어 이동하는 부유사의 농도분포를 정확하게 산정하기 위해서는 하상재료의 침식율을 정확하게 산정하는 것이 필요하다. 특히 하상재료에 다양한 크기의 하상재료가 혼합되어 있을 때에는 차폐효과(Hiding-Exposure Effect)에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 여기서 차폐효과란, 동일한 크기의 사립자들로 구성된 균질 하상에 비해 비균질 하상에서 굵은 사립자가 흐름에 더 많이 노출되어 한계소류력이 감소하고, 잔 사립자의 한계소류력이 굵은 사립자로 인해 증가하는 현상을 의미한다. 하상토의 차폐효과는 Shields (1936)에서 제안된 무차원 한계소류력을 각 사립자의 크기별로 산정 한 후 보정계수를 곱해 고려해주는 것이 일반적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하상재료의 차폐효과가 부유사의 연직방향 농도분포에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 연구를 수행하기 위해 하상토의 입도분포를 바탕으로 차폐효과를 고려하고 연직방향으로의 유사농도를 계산하는 유사이동모형을 개발하였다. 수치모형의 검증은 실험실 실험자료와의 비교를 통해 수행되었다. 수치모의 결과로부터 차폐효과를 고려하지 않는 경우에는 하상에서의 침식율이 과다하게 산정되는 것으로 나타났으며, 불균질한 하상재료로 구성된 하천에서 부유사의 연직방향 유사농도를 정확하게 계산하기 위해서는 차폐효과에 대한 고려가 필요하다는 결론이 도출되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 크기의 사립자들로 구성된 비균질 하상으로부터 부유된 유사의 연직방향 농도분포에 난류 감소효과가 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것이다. 여기서 난류감소효과란 유사의 존재로 인해서 난류의 구조가 변화하는 것을 의미한다. 연구를 수행하기 위하여 난류감소 효과를 고려할 수 있는 비점착성 사립자의 유사이동 모형을 개발하였다. 유사이동 모형에서는 사립자 크기범위를 여러개의 계급구간으로 분할하여 하상재료의 입도분포를 고려할 수 있으며, 하상재료의 구성에 따른 부유사의 농도분포를 계산한다. 개발된 모형의 검증은 실험실 실험자료와의 비교를 통해 수행하였다. 유사이동 모형에서 난류감소 효과를 고려하지 않을 경우 농도와 유속의 연직분포가 과대산정 되는 것이 여러 연구에서 확인된 바 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 한방향으로의 정류상태 흐름 조건과 다양한 크기가 혼재되어 존재하는 유사 조건을 가정하여 난류구조의 변화와 부유사 농도의 연직분포 변화를 살펴보았다. 연구결과로부터 난류감소 효과를 고려하지 않는 경우에는 부유사의 농도가 과다하게 산정되는 것으로 나타났으며, 불균질한 하상재료로 구성된 하천에서 부유사의 연직방향 유사농도를 정확하게 계산하기 위해서는 난류감소 효과에 대한 고려가 필요하다는 결론이 도출되었다.

하천의 유량 및 유사량 자료는 하천에서 발생하는 다양한 문제를 분석하기 위한 기초자료로 지속적인 모니터링을 통한 측정자료의 생산이 필요하다. 따라서, 국내에서는 지속적인 유량 측정을 목적으로 전국의 주요 국가하천을 대상으로 약 62개소에서 H-ADCP를 활용하여 지속적인 유량측정을 수행하고 있다. 이때, H-ADCP는 유량을 측정하기 위한 유속자료와 함께 초음파산란도 자료를 부가적으로 제공하고 있어 초음파산란도를 부유사농도의 지표로 활용하여 지속적인 부유사농도를 측정하기 위한 연구가 수행되고 있으며, 기존에 설치된 자동유량관측소의 H-ADCP를 통해서 실시간의 유량자료와 함께 유사량 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 자동유량관측소를 대상으로 과거 유사량 측정을 수행한 5개 지점을 선정하여 초음파산란도를 활용한 부유사농도 측정 기술의 적용성을 검토하였고, 이를 통해 제시한 부유사농도 측정 방법을 통해 실시간 부유사농도 측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 그리고 실시간 부유사농도 측정 시스템의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 나주시(남평교) 자동유량관측소 지점에 시스템을 구축하여 초음파기반의 부유사농도 측정 기술을 통한 실시간 부유사농도 산정 방법에 대한 보완 사항과 개선방향을 도출하고자 하였다.

It has been customary to exclude top 10-20% of velocity profiles in the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) measurement due to side lobe effects at the boundary. To better understand the mixing in the Yeongsan estuary, the freshwater advection speed (FAS) was recovered from highly contaminated ADCP data near the surface. The velocity profiles were measured by using ADCP at two stations in the Yeongsan estuary during August 2011: one was located in front of the Yeongsan estuarine dam and the other was deployed near Goha Island. The FAS was recovered from the ADCP data set by applying rigorous post-processing methods and compared with the sediment advection speed (SAS). The SAS was determined by the peak time difference of suspended sediment concentration between two stations in the channel, divided by the distance of two stations. The FAS and the SAS showed very similar value when the freshwater discharge was greater than $2.0{\times}10^7$ ton and the SAS was a bit greater when the freshwater discharge was smaller. Since the FAS was on average about 0.8 m/s greater than the velocity at 0.8 of water depth from the bottom, the net discharge, estimated with recovered FAS and integrated over water depth and tidal cycle, was directed seaward during the high discharge contrary to the onshore direction of the net discharge estimated with 0.8 of water depth from the bottom. Moreover, the velocity shear and Richardson number changed when the FAS was used. Thus, the importance of the true FAS is appreciated in the investigation of the surface layer stability. If currents, temperature and salinity were observed for longer time in the future, it could be possible to more accurately understand the formation and decay of stratification as well as the suspended sediment transport processes.
