A long-term nationwide nonpoint-source pollution monitoring program was initiated by the Ministry of Environment Republic of Korea (ME) in 2007. Monitoring devices including rain gauges, flow meters, and automatic samplers were installed in monitoring sites to collect dynamic runoff data in 2008-2009. More than 10 rainfall events with three or more antecedent dry days were monitored per year. More than 10 samples were collected and analyzed per event. So far, five land use types (single family, apartments, education facilities, power plants, and other public facilities) have been monitored 23 to 24 times each. Characterization of the runoff from different land use types will aid unit load estimation in Korea and hopefully in other countries with similar land use. The monitoring results will be reported regularly at national and international levels.

신뢰성 있는 수문자료의 획득은 효율적인 물 관리를 위한 가장 기본적인 조건인 동시에 가장 필수적인 조건이다. 특히 최근 이상기후의 영향으로 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 도시홍수에 대응하기 위한 경보체계 등을 구축하는데 있어 사용자가 관측하고자 하는 임의 지점에서 유황자료의 획득은 매우 중요하다. 지속적인 하천정비 사업을 통해 외수범람에 의한 홍수 발생빈도는 점차 낮아지고 있지만, 하수관거의 노후화, 관리 소홀 등의 원인으로 내수배제가 원활하지 못해서 발생하는 내수침수로 인한 도시홍수는 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 도시홍수 저감을 위해서는 도시배수시스템에 대한 지속적인 관리와 현황파악이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) 무선통신기술과 Bluetooth 근거리 무선통신기술을 사용하여 전문적인 지식이 없는 사용자라도 누구나 언제, 어디서든 도시배수시스템의 임의의 지점에서 유황을 파악하고, 배수관망에서는 유황 관측과 동시에 유출 경로 추적이 가능한 도시배수관망 유속측정 시스템의 개발을 목표로 하였다. 도시배수관망 유속측정 시스템은 세 단계로 구성되어 운영된다. 첫 번째 단계에서 ubiquitous floater를 사용하여 획득한 유황 정보를 서버로 전송하면, 두 번째 단계에서 서버 컴퓨터를 통해 도시 배수시스템의 현황을 판단하고, 마지막 단계에서 정보를 GUI(Graphic User Interface)를 통해 사용자에게 제공하게 된다. 개발된 도시배수관망 유속측정 시스템을 경기도 수원의 원천천에 위치한 배수관망에 적용하여 현장 실험한 결과, 도시 배수관리를 위해 필요한 정보들을 실시간으로 획득하고 관리할 수 있었다.

Long term monitoring was conducted to investigate a surface runoff of pollution from urban highway. The monitoring data was collected for 18 rainfall events and was used to correlate pollution load to various parameters, such as rainfall intensity, antecedent dry days and total discharge flow. Runoff coefficient and seasonal variation were also evaluated. The mean runoff coefficient of the highway was 0.823(range; $0.4687{\sim}0.9884$), and wash-off ratio for $COD_{Mn}$ and SS loads was 72.6% and 64.3%, respectively. For the initial rainfall event, the runoff EMC of $COD_{Mn}$ was high in summer and the EMC of SS was high in autumn season. However the seasonal variation of T-N and T-P was not significant. The discharged $COD_{Mn}$-EMC was $147.6\;mg/L{\sim}9.0\;mg/L$ on the generated $COD_{Mn}$-EMC of $98.8\;mg/L{\sim}8.9\;mg/L$. While the generated EMC of SS was in $285.7\;mg/L{\sim}20.0\;mg/L$ and its discharged EMC was in $190.4\;mg/L{\sim}8.0\;mg/L$. EMC of pollutants was not directly related to the first flush rainfall intensity and the antecedent dry days. But the correlation was relatively high between EMC and cumulative runoff flow volume. The trend of EMC was reduced with the cumulative runoff flow volume.

In this study, we developed a modular rainwater infiltration system that can be applied for general purposes in urban areas to prepare for localized heavy rain caused by climatic change. This study also analyzed the system's effects on reducing runoff. An analysis of the system's effects on reducing runoff based on rainfall data and monitoring data obtained between September 2012 and December 2013 after the system was installed showed that approximately 20~22% of the runoff overflowed from the infiltration facility. Also, an analysis of the runoff that occurred during the monsoon season showed that 25% of the runoff overflowed through the storm sewer system of the urban area. These results show that the rainwater overflows after infiltrating the detention facility installed in the area during high-intensity rainfall of 100mm or higher or when precipitation is 100mm for 3~4 days without the prior rainfall. According to precipitation forecasts, torrential rainfall is becoming increasingly prevalent in Korea which is increasing the risk of floods. Therefore, the standards for storm sewer systems should be raised when planning and redeveloping urban areas, and not only should centralized facilities including sewer systems and rainwater pump facilities be increased, but a comprehensive plan should also be established for the water cycle of urban areas. This study indicates that decentralized rainwater management can be effective in an urban area and also indicates that the extended application of rainwater infiltration systems can offer eco-friendly urban development.

본 연구는 도시지역의 토지이용별 비점오염물질의 유출특성을 파악하고 적정 모니터링 횟수를 도출하고자 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 조사지점은 도시지역 중 주거지역(13지점), 상업지역(8지점), 교통지역(9지점), 공업지역(11지점)으로 선정하였으며 지점에 따라 2008년부터 2016년까지 모니터링이 수행되었으며 총 632회의 강우사상에 대한 모니터링 결과를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 상업지역의 경우 다른 토지이용에 비해 높은 유출률과 고농도의 오염물질이 유출되기에 다른 토지이용보다 비점오염원 관리시 우선적으로 관리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 토지이용별 연간 모니터링 횟수를 산정한 결과, 공업지역의 경우 11~14회, 교통지역은 12~14회, 상업지역은 11~13회, 주거지역은 22~25회로 분석되었다. 다년간 축적된 모니터링 자료를 이용하더라도 일부 오염물질 항목에서 높은 오차가 나타남에 따라 여전히 높은 확률의 불확실성이 존재하며 지속적인 모니터링 수행으로 오차를 줄이기 위한 모니터링 노하우 정립 및 데이터 축적이 요구된다.

The Non-Point Sources shows different characteristics over a wide area depending on basin situation and rainfall events etc. In addition, Among various land uses in the urban areas, runoff appears high in the paved area, though small in its size, during a heavy rain than in other land use owing to its high impervious rate, and pollutants become severly accumulated owing to continual transportation of vehicles, characteristically showing high concentrations of runoff in the early stage. As a result, several advanced countries including USA give a special emphasis on the paved area as a target for supervision. In view of these aspects, the research is not only required to consider separated sub-basins which are distributed according to land uses, but also needed to develop a suitable monitoring which is reflected rainfall-runoff relation. The on-site monitoring has been performed to collect data in object watershed as well.

The intensity of stormwater runoff is particularly acute across cities located in arid climates. During flash floods loose sediment and pollutants are typically transported across sun-hardened surfaces contributing to widespread degradation of water quality. Rapid, dense urbanization exacerbates the problem by creating continuous areas of impervious surfaces, perforated only by a few green patches. Our work demonstrates how the latest techniques in remote sensing can be used to routinely measure urban land cover types, impervious cover, and vegetated areas. In addition, multiple regression models can then infer relationships between urban land use and land cover types with stormwater quality data, initially sampled at discrete monitoring sites, and then extrapolated annually across an arid city; in our case, the city of Phoenix in Arizona, USA. Results reveal that from 30 storm event samples, solids and heavy metal pollutants were found to be highly related with general impervious surfaces; in particular, with industrial and commercial land use types. Repercussions stemming from this work include support for public policies that advocate environmental sustainability and the more recent focus on urban livability. Also, advocacy for new urban construction and re-development that both steer away from vast unbroken impervious surfaces, in place of more fragmented landscapes that harmonize built and green spaces.

In order to estimate microbial contaminant discharge from diffuse sources, rainfall runoff was monitored at forestry, agriculture and urban watersheds. Total coliform and E. coli were monitored at the study watersheds as they are regulated by the environmental laws. Concentration and EMC (Event Mean Concentration) of coliform of rainfall runoff at the urban watershed were the highest followed by those from agricultural and forestry watersheds. By monitoring coliform concentrations of overlying water and sediment at five monitoring points in the downstream of the Geum River, average concentration from spring to summer was higher than those values from fall to spring. Coliform concentrations in the pore water were higher compared to those of overlying water and closely related with flow rate of the river.

Pollutants from urban pavement consists various kinds of substances which are originated from dry deposition, a grind out tire, corrosive action of rain to pavement and facilities and raw materials of the road etc.. These are major pollutants of urban NPS (Non-point source) during rainfall period. However there is not enough information to control such pollutants for appropriate management of natural water quality. In this study of transportation areas, three monitoring stations were set up at trunk road, urban highway and national road in Gyeongnam province. Runoff flow rate was measured at every 15minutes by automatic flow meters installed at the end of storm sewer pipe within the road catchment area for water quality analysis. Data was collected every 15 minutes for initial two hours of rainfall. Additional samples were collected 1-4 hours interval till the end of rainfall. The monitoring parameters were $COD_{Mn}$, SS, T-N & T-P and heavy metals. The average EMCs of TSS and $COD_{Mn}$ were 62.0 mg/L and 24.2 mg/L on the city trunk road, which were higher than those of urban highway and national road, indicating higher pollutant loads due to activities in the city downtown area beside the vehicle. On the other hand, the average EMC of T-N and T-P were in the range of 2.67-3.23 mg/L and 0.19-3.21 mg/L for all the sampling sites. Heavy metals from the roads were mainly Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn, showing variable EMCs by the type of road. From the TSS wash-off analysis in terms of FF(first flush) index, first flush phenomenon was clearly observed in the trunk road(FF : 0.89-1.43). However, such mass delivery behavior was not apparently shown in urban highway(FF : 0.90-1.11) and national road(FF : 0.81-1.41).
