Objectives: Based on the results of a chemical substance emissions survey, we investigated characteristics of chemical emissions in industrial complexes and used them as basic data for chemical management. Methods: The emissions and characteristics of chemicals by major industrial complexes from 2011 to 2015 were analyzed using the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register homepage. To understand the status of chemical accidents for major chemicals emitted from the industrial complexes, the Chemistry Safety Clearing-house system of the National Institute of Chemical Safety was used. Results: Emissions from the top five industrial complexes accounted for about 30% of total chemical emissions. The chemical emission was the highest in the order of Ulsan Mipo Industrial Complex and Okpo Industrial Complex. The main chemicals emitted were xylene, ethylbenzene, ethyl acetate, toluene, dichloromethane, and others. Carcinogen emissions differed by industrial complex, but ethylbenzene and dichloromethane were the major chemicals for this type of emissions. Conclusion: Recently, the use and emission of chemicals have been continuously increasing. A chemical management plan should be prepared considering the characteristics of industrial complexes and chemical substance emissions.

This study analyzed the changes in the concentrations of organic matters in constructed treatment wetlands, coming from discharge water from a sewage treatment plant and non-point pollutant sources during rainfall events. At the beginning of a rainfall event, a massive amount of particulate organic matter flowed in, and was removed from the sedimentation basin (S1, S2); dissolved organic matter was removed after passing through stepwise treatment processes in the wetland. During dry period in the wetland, the removal efficiency rate for COD and TOC was -21 and -7%, respectively; during the rainfall event, the removal efficiency rate for COD and TOC were 47 and 43%, respectively. The highly-concentrated organic matters that flowd in at the beginning of the rainfall event was stabilized by various structures in the wetland before water discharge. Cyanobacteria blooms annually at the confluence of the So-ok stream and Daecheong Lake. Therefore, it is expected that the wetland will contribute significantly to reducing cyanobacteria and improving water quality in the area.

Monitoring data from agricultural reservoirs throughout the country were analyzed to classify agricultural reservoirs according to physical characteristics and COD concentrations, and evaluate the relationships bet-ween water quality items. The physical and chemical data of total 498 reservoirs were analyzed from 1990 to 2001. Average COD, TP, TN, Chl-a, SS concentrations for the reservoirs and pollutant loadings from their watersheds were used for the analysis. It was possible that reservoirs were classified to 4 types using the relationships between the ratios of effective storage per water surface (ST/WS ratio) and COD concentrations. It is recommended that the improvement measures of polluted reservoirs should be performed as following order : integrated consolidation type (complex mechanism type) $\rightarrow$ watershed consolidation type $\rightarrow$ integrated consolidation type (external mechanism type) $\rightarrow$ in-lake consolidation type $\rightarrow$ conservation type and the depth (ST/WS ratio) of reservoir maintained over 5~6 m for water quality improvement. The decision coefficients ($r^2$) between Chl-a and other items (COD, T-P, SS, T-N) were 0.6915, 0.6732, 0.5327, 0.3352, respectively. Therefore, reservoir managers could evaluate the trophic state of reservoirs by COD concentrations.

In this study, we conducted a survey to examine the runoff characteristics of nonpoint sources, which wash off pollutants from the surface of basin during rainfall and affect water pollution of streams. An Anyangchun basin in the region Ewiwang City was selected as a study site. The basin divided into several subbasins such as Wanggokchun, Ojeonchun, and Anyangchun based on the tributaries, which confluence to the main stream of Anyangchun. Four times of field examination had been carried out between July and August of 2000, and water quality data collected from the surveys had been analysed. The survey includes in-situ flow, DO and PH measurements in the outlet of catchment. Laboratory analysis includes BOD, TN, TP. From the result, pollutant by runoff of nonpoint sources were washed out along with stormwater in the beginning of rainfall, and flowed into streams resulted in stream pollution. In case of BOD, the load from Ojeonchun catchment, most of which included urban areas, took up 50% of the total load from the entire watershed. Thus, by the results, it is clear that runoff load by urban nonpoint sources plays an important role in the control and management of nonpoint sources for the watershed.

In recent years, riparian buffer system has been known as one of the effective best management practices. However, establishment of riparian buffer system in aspect of plant species and its position in the riparian buffer zone has not been investigated due to lack of efficient evaluation method for the analysis of water quality improvement with established riparian buffer system. To solve this problem, the SWAT-REMM prototype was developed by the researchers in Canada. But, SWAT-REMM model can not consider the $NO_3-N$ load into riparian buffer system through subsurface flow. Thus to solved this problem, Fortran code of SWAT-REMM model was modified. This modified SWAT-REMM system was applied to the Bonggok watershed. Three riparian buffer scenarios, 15 m, 10 m, 5 m width for tree and grass, were made to evaluate the effects of riparian buffer system on water quality improvement. Reduction efficiency of T-N by riparian buffer system of 15 m wide was the greatest (6 ~ 37%, depending on subwatershed characteristics) among 3 scenarios. It indicates that the reduction efficiency of T-N load has increasing-tendency, as buffer width increasing. The results obtained from the analysis showed that wide buffer zones are found to be more effective in reducing non-point pollutant than narrow buffer zones in the riparian buffer zone system. Hence, the SWAT-REMM model could be efficiently used for evaluation and design the most effective riparian buffer systems to reduce pollutant loads to the watershed although many limitations still exist in SWAT-REMM model.

괴산지역 내 소규모 농업유역을 대상으로 영농기 농촌 소유역에서 발생하는 비점오염 물질의 유출 특성을 조사하고자 소하천의 본류, 생활하수 유입하천 및 강수의 오염물질 농도와 하천 유량을 측정하여 오염부하를 계산하였다. 그 결과 영농기 동안 농촌유역 소하천 말단에서의 수질은 BOD의 경우 강우기 평균 3.0 mg/L, 평상시 평균 2.4 mg/L의 값을 보였으며, SS의 경우 강우기 평균 76.6 mg/L, 평상시 평균 10.9 mg/L을 나타냈으며, T-N과 T-P는 각각 강우기 평균 8.7, 0.16 mg/L, 평상시 3.5, 0.11 mg/L의 값을 나타내었다. 연구 기간 동안 측정한 수질 농도와 유량을 곱하여 부하로 계산한 결과 영농기에 유출되는 오염부하의 경우 95% 이상이 강우기에 유출되는 것으로 나타났으며, 연구기간 동안 유역 말단에서 측정된 오염물질의 부하량은 T-N의 경우 $26.63kg/km^2/day$, T-P의 경우 $0.62kg/km^2/day$의 값을 나타내어 기존 연구 결과의 범위 안에 있었다. 대상유역의 발생 및 배출 오염부하를 산정하기 위하여 환경부의 오염총량관리계획수립지침에 의거 계산한 배출부하량을 본 연구에서 실측한 유달부하량과 비교한 결과 유달율이 모든 수질 항목에서 100%를 넘는 것으로 나타나 영농기 농촌 소유역에 적용하여 오염부하를 평가하기에는 한계가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 향후 농촌 유역의 특성과 영농활동을 고려한 시기별 비점오염 물질의 유출 기작에 대한 연구가 더욱 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

현행 수질오염총량관리제는 원인자부담원칙를 기본으로 설정된 단위유역별 지자체별 할당부하량을 해당 지자체가 개별적으로 대처하도록 하고 있다. 그러나 하천으로 유입되는 수질오염물은 공기오염물과 달리 상류에서 하류로 일방적으로 흐르고, 하나의 하천에 다수의 지자체가 연관이 되어 있으며, 일반적인 하수처리시설은 '규모의 경제'를 따르는 시설물임을 감안한다면 지자체간 협조를 통해 수질관리비용을 절감할 수 있다. 본 연구는 유역 전체의 관점에서 비용효과를 가질 수 있도록 삭감량을 재배분함으로써 수질관리비용을 절감하는 방법을 제시하였다. 이를 위해 영산강 유역을 대상으로 현재 단위유역별 지자체별로 할당된 계획삭감량을 총량의 증감없이 오염원이 집중된 지역으로 재배분하여 발생하는 수질개선 효과와 비용절감 효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 기존 계획에 의한 영산강 유역 전체의 비용은 787,575.0 백만원이며, 시나리오-1과 2는 각각 123,671.8 백만원, 171,433.5 백만원의 비용이 절감되었다. 본 연구는 오염총량관리제를 준수하기 위한 지자체의 수질관리 비용을 절감하는 방안으로서 사례가 될 것으로 기대된다.
