The aims of this study are 1) to construct a database using geostatistics and Geographic Information System (GIS), and 2) to derive the spatial relationships between manganese nodule abundance and other geological factors such as metal grade, slope, water depth, topography, and acoustic characteristics of the sub-bottom. Using GIS, it is possible to analyze a large amount of data efficiently, and to maximize the practical application, to increase specialization, and to enhance the accuracy of the analyses. The greater the copper and nickel grade, the higher the rating. The distribution pattern of nickel grade is similar to that of copper grade. The slopes are generally less than $3^{\circ}$ except for seamounts and cliff areas. The rating shows no correlation with slope. The rating is highest for slopes between 2.5 and $3.5^{\circ}$ in block N1 and between 4.0 and $4.5^{\circ}$ in block N3. The topography is classified into five groups: seamount, hill crest, hill slant, hill base or plain, and seafloor basin or valley. The rating proves lowest for seamount and hill crest. Our results show that the rating increases with the water depth in the study area. Nodule abundance dose not show any significant relationship with the thickness of the upper transparent layer in the study area.

Different polluted water samples were collected from a wastewater treatment plant, agricultural drainage canals, the River Nile, and irrigation canals. The samples were examined for the enumeration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the Sohag area, Egypt over a period of one year. A total of 240 isolates were collected and tested for their resistance to 12 common antibiotics and 6 heavy metals. The isolates were found to be less resistant to norfloxacin(1.7%), ofloxacin(4.6%), amikacin(9.6%), tobramycin (10.4), carbenicillin (15.4), and gentamycin (41.3%), yet more sensitive to rifampicin (75%), kanamycin (89.6%), ampicillin (90.8%), chloramphenicol (91.7%), streptomycin (92.9%), and tetracyclin(96.3%). In contrast, 7.1%, 12.9%, 25.4%, and 53.7% of the isolates were resistant to lead, cadmium, mercury, and zinc, respectively. None of the isolates had developed a resistance to silver or molybdenum. The high frequency of metal-antibiotic double resistance existed between lead and amikacin (56.5%), cadmium and ofloxacin (72.7%), zinc and norfloxacin (100%), and mercury and carbenicillin (94.6%). The high occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in natural water could be related to the widespread use of antibiotics, with possible public health hazard.

Laser processing has been used in various fields. In this study, the feasibility of a hydrophobic surface was investigated through the laser cladding technique. A diode laser was used, and the output was set to 600-800 W. Seven different specimens were prepared with different cladding widths and spacings, and the contact angles for water droplets were evaluated. As a result, the contact angle of water droplets measured in the direction parallel to the cladding line was higher than that in the vertical direction. The wider the cladding width and the cladding space, the higher the contact angle in the parallel direction. It is thought that when a higher contact angle is formed in the parallel direction, more air can be placed in the valley between the cladding lines. In addition, for the hydrophobic coating effect, the contact angle of the coated cladding surface was increased by about $5-15^{\circ}$ as a whole compared to the coated smooth surface. It was confirmed that the wetting characteristics were improved through the cladding.

For the purpose of inquiring into the actual conditions of water quality management of Simple Piped Water Supply(SPWS) and the satisfaction and attitudes of inhabitants about utilizing water-supply, this research was done through the questionnaires, the investigation of surrounding environment and water quality analysis in the Sangju city, Kyungsang-pookdo during 4 months from March to June, 1998. The fountainhead of SPES using ground water accounted for 65.3%, which was the highest rate in the group. Most of them was at least 10 years in the number of utilization year. 79.6% of them were exposed to many sorts of surrounding pollution origins. The examination of water was performed only through a test about water purification and 24.5% of them disinfection by chlorine also no residual chlorine was detected at all. All the waterworks did not have any education to the managers of water quality and 81.5% of them held physical examination. As a result of the water examination about SPWS, 65.3% of them were found incongruity and the valley and springing water accounted for higher than the underground water in the rate of incongruity. Looking into the details of the result in the water examination, a category of colon bacilli was ranked in the highest rate and the next one was general bacilli, nitric acid nitrogen and turbidity in order. In the satisfaction degree of the water quality, the satisfied accounted for 44.6%, and 29.2% each. Over the state of satisfaction about the ways of water examination, satisfaction accounted for 44.6%, and unsatisfaction 28.3%. Summarizing the result of the above-stated, the state of Water Quality Management of the SPWS was in a poor condition. Thus for the water Quality Management, systematic and scientific water Quality Management mainly by the administrative organization other than voluntary management by the village should be done beyond doubt. Additionally the opinions and demands of inhabitants utilizing the water supply have to be positively reflected in the affairs of water Quality Management so that the distrust of inhabitants to the SPWS should be settled.

This paper describes the ecological structure and function of riparian zone, and their historical changes with land-use. The riparian zone consists of valley floor landform and riparian vegetation. The functions discussed are attenuation of sunlight energy, input of leaves and needles, contribution of woody debris to streams, and retention of flowing material out of transport. These primary functions directly or indirectly influence water and sediment qualities of streams, bars and floodplains, and thereby aquatic biota. Temporal changes in a hydrological system and riparian ecosystem were examined with reference to land-use conversin in order to understand the linkages between these two systems in Toikanbetsu River. The influences of channelization and land-use on discharge of suspended sediment and wetland vegetation was also investigated in Kushiro Marsh. These two examples suggested that the ecological functions of riparian zone have been degraded as flood control and reclamation works have expanded in the past twenty years The author proposes river restoration planning by preserving or creating landscape elements based on the concepts of sustaining physical and ecological linkages.

Noninvasive monitoring of total Hemoglobin value is feasible with the use of spectroscopic measurements. As a step toward tile final goal of the development of a noninvasive monitor, the spectra$(400{\sim}800mm)$of EDTA whole blood were obtained along with reference total Hemoglobin values. Under the same condition water spectrum was generated. It was subtracted from each blood sample, and then tile first derivative of each subtracted data was taken by 'approximated first derivative algorithm' with gap (1,6,10,20nm). The correlation was obtained between total Hemoglobin and first valley wavelength of first derivative spectrum (sample number: 93).

Understanding the area of the rice paddy fields is important, and suitable for it the remote sensing. SAR is effective to the monitor in Southeast Asia with the rainy season. The detection of the filled rice paddy fields by RADARSAT was tried in the north part of Bangkok Thailand, and in the Mekong river valley Cambodia, which ware the main rice production country in Southeast Asia. We get observation data by RADARSAT and fields all through a year around Bangkok. However, because the flood had occurred on the study area in 2002 observed, the detection only of the rice fields ware difficult.

A. arguta is found nationwide whether the altitude is low or high if good drainage is achieved with plenty of water. The distribution of A. polygama seems to be more limited to higher altitude than A. arguta so it can be found in deep valley of highland even in Mt. Halla. A. kolomikta seems rather limited to colder area than A. arguta to Mt. Jiri to the south. Meanwhile, A. rufa is very confined to southern islands including Jeollanamdo and Jeju islands. Some institutes still continue to utilize Korean native Actinidia plants commercially since early 1980's. More collaborative efforts are needed for further development of these plants nationwide.

우리나라의 대부분의 골프장은 법적, 경제적 이유로 건설부지가 계곡과 능선 또는 봉우리를 포함할 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 계곡과 능선은 생태계에 있어서 매우 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있으므로 이를 훼손하는 것은 생태환경의 변화에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 따라서 골프장 공사로 인해 발생하는 훼손을 최소화하고 기존의 계곡 또는 하천이 하던 생태적 기능을 수행할 수 있는 생태복원형 하천을 환경보상적 차원에서 설치하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 골프장 내의 하천을 생태하천으로 복원하기 위해 고려해야할 사항과 적합한 공법 및 사례를 통하여 골프장건설로 인한 환경영향을 최소화하고 자연환경과 조화를 통하여 최적의 골프장을 조성할 수 있도록 설계도면 실례를 들어 제안하였다.

식물종 다양성이 높은 하천변 복원을 위해 8개 하천 13지점에서 자연하천변 식물군락의 이질성을 ${\beta}$-diversity로 조사하였다. 그 결과, 하천에서 내륙으로 들어감에 따른 이질성의 평균값은 0.32이었다(0.23~0.37범위). 이 값은 식물군락의 종 구성이 6번 완전히 바뀌는 community turnover를 나타낸다. ${\beta}$-diversity는 섬진강, 한강, 낙동강, 금강 수계 간에 차이가 없었고, 각 수계 안에서 하천 유역은 하류(0.23)보다 상류(0.36)에서 더 높았다(p level<0.05). 환경요인과의 관계를 알아보기 위해 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과 ${\beta}$-diversity는 경사도에서 유의성이 나타났다. Belt-transect를 통해 나타난 종들과 ${\beta}$-diversity 값을 통해 하천변의 우점종 모식도를 그려보면 상류의 종조성은 6번 바뀌고, 하류의 종조성은 약 5번 바뀌었다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 하천 계획에 실질적으로 활용할 수 있는 식재 수종과 식재 패턴의 기초를 제시하였으며, 하천변 식물군락의 종 다양성을 높이기 위해서는 경사도를 높이는 것이 가장 중요하다.
