침전물 변화의 이해는 수질모니터링에 있어서 중요한 요소이다. 수질 변수는 시공간에 의해 변하므로 시간분석이나 공간분석 한 가지만으로는 모형화하거나 명확히 설명하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 1985년부터 2005년까지 메콩강 하류 유역에서 수집된 침전물 기록과 공간 자료를 근거로 온도, 페하 수준 및 용존산소 수준을 파악하고, 역거리가중법을 이용하여 시공간 경향과 시각 분석을 평가하고자 한다. 그 결과, 온도와 페하의 최대값은 이 기간 동안 큰 변화없이 나타났고 최대 용존산소는 2002년까지 점점 증가하여왔다. 최소 페하와 용존산소는 이 기간 동안 불안정한 경향으로 변화하였다. 역거리가중법 보간을 이용한 경향 분석에서는 연구 지역의 전반적인 수온이 계속 증가했다는 것을 보여주었고, 페하는 1993년부터 2005년 동안 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 용존산소농도는 1989년 이후 증가하였고 2002년부터는 많이 확산되지 않았다.

Several models predict large and potentially abrupt ocean circulation changes due to anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions. These circulation changes drive-in the models-considerable oceanic oxygen trend. A sound estimate of the observed oxygen trends can hence be a powerful tool to constrain predictions of future changes in oceanic deepwater formation, heat and carbon dioxide uptake. Estimating decadal scale oxygen trends is, however, a nontrivial task and previous studies have come to contradicting conclusions. One key potential problem is that changes in the historical observation network might introduce considerable errors. Here we estimate the likely magnitude of these errors for a subset of the available observations in the Southern Ocean. We test three common data analysis methods south of Australia and focus on the decadal-scale trends between the 1970's and the 1990's. Specifically, we estimate errors due to sparsely sampled observations using a known signal (the time invariant, temporally averaged, World Ocean Atlas 2001) as a negative control. The crossover analysis and the objective analysis methods are for less prone to spatial sampling location biases than the area averaging method. Subject to numerous caveats, we find that errors due to sparse sampling for the area averaging method are on the order of several micro-moles $kg^{-1}$. for the crossover and the objective analysis method, these errors are much smaller. For the analyzed example, the biases due to changes in the spatial design of the historical observation network are relatively small compared to the tends predicted by many model simulations. This raises the possibility to use historic oxygen trends to constrain model simulations, even in sparsely sampled ocean basins.

Chemical oxygen demand (COD), phytoplankton cell number and chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a), sediment mean grain size and ignition loss were studied to determine their temporal trends in the study area. Historical data of COD, cell number and Chl-a were gathered from the late 1960s or early 1980s to 1997, and trends in temporal domain were obtained from a simple regression. Sediments for grain size and ignition loss (as organic contents in sediments) were sampled from the Chokchon macrotidal flat bimonthly from September 1990 to November 1996, and were analyzed using the decomposition method of time series analysis. In general, the first three data showed increasing trends based on regression analysis. The trends of sediment grain size fluctuated in a neutral pathway while those of ignition loss yielded no increasing pattern. In contrast with the suggestions from Ahn and Choi (1998) who reported a coarsening variation in sediment grain size to be a cause of the directional and remarkable changes of macrofaunal communities in this area, we could not find such a corresponding variation pattern from our samples. In diagnosing eutrophication, a paradoxical phenomenon was encountered between the trends in water column (COD, cell number and Chl-a) and sediment (ignition loss) data. In this paper, we inferred the possible processes that produce the discrepancy. Some explanations and biological responses to eutrophication were predicted and discussed.

This study used the extensive monitoring datasets of the Korea Ministry of Environment to examine trends in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in Han River raw water. To estimate the organic contents of water, we adopted allied parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) as substitutes for DOC. Spatial and temporal analyses were performed on monthly BOD and COD data from 36 monitoring stations (14 for Main Han River, 7 for North Han River and 15 for South Han River) measured from 1989 to 2007. The results of trend analysis indicated that, on the whole, water quality according to BOD showed a downward trend at more than 67% of monitoring stations (9 for Main Han River, 6 for North Han River and 9 for South Han River). However, the water quality of COD showed an upward trend at more than 78% of monitoring stations (8 for Main Han River, 7 for North Han River and 13 for South Han River). The upward trend of COD contrary to the BOD trend indicates that there has been an increase in recalcitrant organic matter in Han River water that is not detectable by means of BOD.

Spatial and temporal analyses of water qualities were performed for 11 monitoring stations located in Mangyung watershed in order to analyze the trends of monthly water quality data of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) measured from 1995 to 2004. The long-term trends were analyzed utilizing Seasonal Mann-Kendall test, LOWESS and three-dimensional graphs were constructed with respect to distance and time. The graph can visualize spatial and temporal trend of the long-term water quality in a large river system. The results of trend analysis indicated that water quality of BOD and TN showed the downward trend. This quantitive and quantitative analysis is the useful tool to analyze and display the long-term trend of water quality in a large river system.

Global human activities associated with the use of fossil fuels have aggravated climate change, increasing air temperature. Consequently, climate change has the potential to alter surface water temperature with significant impacts on biogeochemical cycling and ecosystems in natural water body. In this study, we examined temporal trends on historical records of surface water temperature, and investigated the air temperature/water temperature relationship and the potential water temperature change from an air temperature scenario developed with regional climate model. Although the temporal trends of water temperature are highly variable site-by-site, surface water temperature was highly dependent on air temperature, and has increased significantly in some sub-watersheds over the last two decades. The results presented here demonstrate that water temperature changes are expected to be slightly higher in river system than reservoir systems and more significant during winter than summer for both river and reservoir system. Projected change of surface water temperature will likely increase $1.06^{\circ}C$ for rivers and $0.95^{\circ}C$ for reservoirs during the period 2008 to 2050. Given the potential climatic changes, every $1^{\circ}C$ increase in water temperature could cause dissolved oxygen levels to fall every 0.206 ppm.

The relationship between marine environmental improvement and environmental perception of the inhabitants was investigated. For this purpose, the seawater and bottom materials were analysed. Apart from this, the questionnaire surveys were also conducted around the Sun-so coastal area. In order to examine the improvement in the marine environment, 12 monitoring sites, which are located around Sun-so coast and can be divided into two parts such as inland (GW1-GW6) and outland (GW7-GW12) sea, were chosen. All the collected samples were analyzed to find out the quality of seawater (temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen: DO, chemical oxygen demand: COD and suspend solid: SS), nutrients (total nitrogen: TN and phosphate: $PO_4-P$) and bottom materials (COD, volatile solids: VS) as per the standard analytical procedures. In addition, the questionnaire mainly focused on the following three factors: 1) social economy, 2) dependent environmental awareness and 3) independent environmental awareness related with the environmental education. The monitoring studies indicated that the marine environment of the Sun-so coast showed various trends for analyzing parameter. No significant temporal changes in temperature, pH and salinity were observed. However, the other parameters showed decreasing (COD, SS, TN, $PO_4-P$ and VS) and increasing (DO) trends according to the quality of seawater and bottom materials. The questionnaire survey clearly showed that most of the residents in Sun-so recognized the improvement of marine environment as compared with the situation experienced in the past. The dredging project which is closely related with economic and living conditions of the local residents led to alter the environmental perceptions and attitudes. The survey also indicated that the inhabitants perceived the necessity of the environmental education (87% of respondents) and preferred regular schooling (55% of respondents) as effective and practical education methods.

Physicochemical properties of water quality were analyzed to understand the long-term variations in Lake Youngrang from 1998 to 2015. Nonparametric statistical methods were applied to deduct correlation among water quality parameters and water quality trend. In total observations(N=64), the Secchi depth (SD) transparency showed significant positive correlation with salinity (r=0.458) and highly significant negative correlation with chlorophyll-a (r= -0.649) for p<0.0001 in two-tailed test of Spearman's rank correlation. Significant negative correlations of SD were observed with chemical oxygen demand (COD), total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN). These correlation patterns were very similar in rainy (N=25) and non-rainy (N=39) periods too. Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) had significant correlation with COD. Sen's slope test was performed along with Mann-Kendall trend test (significance ${\alpha}=0.05$, two-tailed) to find water quality trend. Positive trends were observed for SD and salinity with Sen's slopes 0.012 and 0.385, respectively (p<0.0001). Negative significant trends were observed for total nitrogen (TN) and Chl-a with Sen's slopes -0.02 (p<0.0001) and -0.346 (p=0.0010), respectively. Temperature, COD and phosphorus components had no trends. Carlson's trophic state index (TSI) for SD, TP and Chl-a were obtained in the ranges of 46~80, 37~82 and 39~82, respectively. Trophic index values suggest that Lake Youngrang was mesoeutrophic to eutrophic and there could be possibility of anoxia during the summer and dominance of blue-green algae. Excess nutrient inputs from external and internal sources were the causes of eutrophication in this lake. The findings of this study would be helpful to recognize water quality variables to manage the water body.

본 연구는 영산강 수계 내 10개 지점의 이화학적 수질에 관한 시공간적 변이상태를 분석하기 위해 1995년부터 2004년까지 측정된 환경부 수질데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 이용된 수질 변수는 전기전도도(Conductivity), 생물화학적 산소요구량(BOD), 화학적 산소요구량(COD), 용존산소량 (Dissolved oxygen), 총인 (Total phosphorus), 총질소 (Total nitrogen) 및 총부유물 (Total suspended solids)의 7개 항목으로서 계절별, 연별, 및 조사지점별 농도변이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 영산강 수계 내에서의 이화학적 수질측정값은 계절성 강우에 따라 수질측정값의 변동 폭이 심하며, 대부분의 수치 농도변이는7 ${\sim}$ 8월에 집중되는 하절기 몬순 강도에 의해 조절되었다. 장마기에 이온희석의 지표로 사용되는 전기전도도와 총인, 총질소와 같은 영양염류들의 경우 강우량과 역 상관관계 (|r|> 0.32, P< 0.01, n=119)를 보였으나, 생물학적 산소 요구량과 화학적 산소요구량의 경우에는 강우분포와 통계학적 유의성 (p>0.05, n=120)을 보이지 않았다. 총인, 총질소 및 전기전도도는 대부분 장마 중인 7 ${\sim}$ 8월에 최소값을 보였는데, 이는 강우에 의해 오염물질이 희석되기 때문으로 사료되었다. 반면, 총부유물의 유입은 하절기 몬순 동안에 최대치를 보여 이온 감소와는 대조적인 특성을 보였다. 생물학적 산소요구량의 계절적 변화패턴은 화학적 산소요구량과 유사한(r.=0.592, P<0.01)양상을 보였으며, 마찬가지로 총질소의 변차패턴 또한 총인과 유사한 (.=0.529, P<0.01) 양상을 보였다. 용존산소량의 계절별 변화에 따르면, 수온이 낮은 겨울에 최대값을 보이며 온도가 높은 여름에 최소값을 보여 수온과의 역 상관관계를 보였다. 지점별 변화 패턴 분석에 따르면, 전기전도도를 제외한 총인, 총질소, 생물학적 산소요구량, 화학적 산소요구량 및 총부유물은 상류 및 하류역 보다 중류역에서 높은 농도를 보인 반면, 전기전도도의 경우에는 하류역에서 높은 농도를 보였다. 특히, 총인, 총질소, 생물학적 산소요구량 및 화학적 산소요구량은 지점 4(광주 2)에서 급격히 악화되는 양상을 보였으며, 이는 광주도심으로부터 유출되는 가정하수 및 인접한 공단에서 배출하는 폐수유입에 의한 영향으로 사료되었다. 따라서, 영산강의 수질 개선을 위해서는 이런 도심지역의 오염부하 저감을 통한 효율적 수질관리가 요구된다.

밀폐형 bench-scale reactor(242 l)에 thermocouples, oxygen sensor 및 datalogger 등을 연결하여 우분과 볏짚 혼합물의 퇴비화 촉진 및 양질의 퇴비생산을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 공기주입량(0.09, 0.18, 0.90, 1.79 l $min^{-1}kg$ dry $solids^{-1}$)에 따른 생물학적 활성 변수들의 일시적이고 공간적인 변화를 모니터링한 결과는 다음과 같았다. 공기주입량이 높을수록 퇴비화 초기 및 뒤집기 이후 단계 모두 부숙온도의 증가 및 감속속도가 빨랐고 퇴적물과 배출공기의 온도차이는 적었으며, 모든 처리에서 퇴적물의 경우 $50{\sim}53^{\circ}C$에서 약 5시간 동안, 배출공기는 $45^{\circ}C$에서 약 $5{\sim}15$시간 동안 온도정지기를 보인 후 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 최대온도는 퇴비화 초기단계에서는 공기주입량이 많을수록 감소하였지만 뒤집기 이후 단계에서는 1.79 l $min^{-1}kg^{-1}$처리를 제외하고는 그 반대 경향이었으며, 퇴적물의 최고온도 도달시간은 초기 및 뒤집기 이후 단계 모두 공기주입량이 적을수록 늦었다. $45^{\circ}C$이상의 고온 유지시간은 공기주입량이 증가할수록 급격히 감소하였고, 퇴비화 초기단계에 있어서 0.09 및 0.18 l $min^{-1}kg^{-1}$ 처리는 $65^{\circ}C$ 이상, 0.90 l $kg^{-1}$는 $55{\sim}64.9^{\circ}C$, 1.79 l $min^{-1}kg^{-1}$는 $45{\sim}54.9^{\circ}C$의 유지시간이 가장 길었다. 배출공기의 최저 산소농도 및 최대 산소비율은 공기주입량이 많을수록 높아지는 경향이었으나 그 수준에 도달하는 시간은 일정한 경향이 없었다.
