대전 3대하천을 대상으로 차집관로와 하수처리시설 증설로 인한 도시하천의 수질변화의 특성을 분석하였다. 지난 10년 동안 최고 수질에서 최저 수질의 차이가 가장 큰 하천지점은 하수처리시설 하류부인 갑천5(신구교) 지점이다. 반면에 최근 수질은 이 지점이 다른 지점보다 수질이 불량한 것은 하수처리시설의 방류수 영향이다. 하수처리시설 상류부에서는 대전천이 유기물질의 오염감소에서 다른 지점보다 비교적 양호한 지점인데 이는 차집관로의 유지관리 투자에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 최근 3대하천 수질은 하천수질기준치와 비교하였을 때 대부분 수질항목은 기준치 이내로 적합하였으나 상류지점인 대전천, 유등천, 갑천3 지점의 총인은 기준치에 못 미치므로 하수처리시설 상류부가 하류부보다 차집관로의 유지관리가 더 필요하다. 하수처리시설의 방류수 수질이 하천 수질오염총량관리 지점의 목표수질에 악영향을 주기 쉬우므로 하수처리시설 유지관리의 효율성이 적극 요구된다.

Cheonggye-cheon is a partly restored urban stream located in central Seoul. We monitored fecal contamination using three different fecal indicators, total coliforms (TC), fecal coliforms (FC) and E. coli, to assess differences in each indicator on days of varying weather conditions. Presumptive TC, FC and E. coli colonies were identified by their 16S rRNA sequences. The results showed that enumeration of E. coli provided a better reflection of fecal contamination of the stream than TC and FC. The main sources of contamination were the inflow of fecal-polluted groundwater from the vicinity of a subway line and two inflowing streams. The fecal contamination was worsened on days with heavy rain because untreated sewage from a collecting facility flowed into the stream. Moreover, growth potential of fecal indicator (E. coli) in situ induced by algal exudates was measured. Our results suggest that an appropriate standard based on E. coli rather than TC and FC should be established for improving water quality management strategies of Cheonggye-cheon in the future.

This study was focused on estimating instream flow, and its optimal alternative for securing the required total amount of instream flow was also researched in order to restore ecosystems and riverine aesthetics of the Mugeo Stream. the first tributary of the Taewha River flowing through the center of Ulsan. In this study the hydraulic and hydrologic conditions and water quality were investigated at specific channel reaches and representative stations of the Mugeo Stream to determine a proper estimate of instream flow. And riverine functions, such as the minimum flow, water duality conservation, fish habitat, and recreation, were considered to restore the environmental functions of the stream, As a result, the total amount of $11,500m^3/day$ was set as the target instream flow for the Mugeo Stream. It was chosen as the optimal alternative for securing the total external supply of $10,000m^3/day$ which have to be transfered from the riverbed flow diverted through the Taewha Main river at upstream of Samho bridge. The water duality throughout the Mugeo Stream channels will be improved considerably to 3-4 mg/l of BOD standard if the target instream flow is supplied and sewage is intercepted by the sanitary sewage system.

This study analyzed characteristics of natural and human environments in Chuncheon's Gongji stream, and suggested nature-friendly planning strategies for self-purification of water quality, biodiversity improvement and conservative waterfront recreation. The environmental analysis included streambed structures, floodplain soils, water quality, vegetation, wildlife, and human facilities. Natural colonization of vegetation for the middle section of the study stream was obstructed by a straightened concrete revetment of baseflow channel, and vehicle movement and concrete parking lots across the floodplain. These human disturbances also deteriorated the naturalness of the stream landscape and limited habitation of bird species. However, natural sedimented wetlands in half of the channel width for the lower section of the stream contributed to a desirable vegetational landscape and greater bird occurrence. Based on BOD measurements, water quality of the stream fell under class $II{\sim}III$ of the stream water-quality standard, but it was worse around sewage outlets due to incomplete sewage collection especially during the dry season. Dominant fish species included typical inhabitants of good water-quality streams that are tolerant of adverse habitat changes. Nature-friendly planning strategies were established based on analysis of the environmental characteristics. They focused on not merely spatial zoning and layout divided into four zones - preservation, partial preservation, conservation and use -, but close-to-nature channel revetment techniques, natural water-purification facilities, biotope diversification, and water-friendly recreation and circulation. Strategies pursued both renewal of stream naturalness and hydraulic stability of streamflow by minimizing transformation of natural channel micro-topography and biotope, and by reflecting natural traces of streambed structures such as revetment scour and sedimentation.

Seasonal variability of water quality in the upland headwater streams in ten forested catchments (37.0~209.0 ha) was examined from April to November 2021. Here, seven physicochemical parameters were analyzed including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphorous (T-P), and BOD/TOC. The parameters were compared with those of lowerland rivers as middle and lower reaches within a watershed. The pH showed was low (6.4~6.9) during all the seasons, however, BOD and BOD/TOC in the fall season were 2-fold higher than in the spring and summer seasons. Based on environmental standards, the water quality level revealed that the upland headwater streams maintained the purity and cleanliness of water except for pH in the summer season. BOD/TOC of all the seasons and BOD of the fall season in the upland headwater streams were higher than that in the lowerland rivers, whereas the rest of the physicochemical parameters in the upland headwater streams were lower than that in the lowerland rivers. Additionally, the water quality level maintained the purity and cleanliness of water as "Good" in two reaches. The unique aspects of our study design enabled us to draw inferences about water quality characteristics with temporal and spatial analysis in upland headwater streams. This design will be useful for the long-term strategy of effective water quality management for integrated upland headwater streams and lowerland rivers within a watershed.

As urbanization and impermeable areas have increased, stormwater and non-point pollutants entering the stream have increased. Additionally, in the case of the old town comprising a combined sewer pipe system, there is a problem of stream water pollution caused by the combined sewer overflow. To resolve this problem, many cities globally are pursuing an environmentally friendly low impact development strategy that can infiltrate, evaporate, and store rainwater. This study analyzed the expected effects and efficiency when the LID facility was installed as a measure to improve hydrologic cycle and water quality in the Oncheon stream in Busan. The EPA-SWMM, previously calibrated for hydrological and water quality parameters, was used, and standard parameters of the LID facilities supported by the EPA-SWMM were set. Benchmarking the green infrastructure plan in New York City, USA, has created various installation scenarios for the LID facilities in the Oncheon stream drainage area. The installation and maintenance cost of the LID facility for scenarios were estimated, and the effect of each LID facility was analyzed through a long-term EPA-SWMM simulation. Among the applied LID facilities, the infiltration trench showed the best effect, and the bio-retention cell and permeable pavement system followed. Conversely, in terms of cost-efficiency, the permeable pavement systems showed the best efficiency, followed by the infiltration trenches and bio-retention cells.

본 연구는 밤나무림, 소나무림 개벌조림지로 이용되고 있는 산지소유역에서 임상별 계류수질의 차이와 변화를 분석하고, 이를 먹는물 수질기준과의 비교를 통하여 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 세 임분의 계류수 pH는 소나무임분(pH 7.18) >밤나무임분(pH 6.90) >개벌조림지(pH 6.82) 순으로 나타났다. 전기전도도는 개벌조림지 >밤나무임분 >소나무임분의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 양이온은 세 조사구의 계류수 모두 $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^{+}$, $NH_{4}{^{+}}$의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 음이온은 밤나무임분과 소나무임분 계류수에서는 $SO_{4}{^{2-}}$, $Cl^{-}$, $NO_{3}{^{-}}$의 순으로 높게 나타났으나, 개벌조림지 계류수에서는 $SO_{4}{^{2-}}$, $NO_{3}{^{-}}$, $Cl^{-}$의 순으로 높게 나타나 차이를 보이고 있다. 세 조사구의 계류수 간에 차이를 살펴보기 위하여 각 임분별 수질의 변화에 대한 다중검정을 실시한 결과 12개 항목 중에서 pH, EC, $NO^{3-}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^{+}$, $Cl^{-}$, TNU, Color 9개 항목들은 임분 간에 유의성이 인정되므로 각 임분별 수질의 차이가 나타났다. 특히, 개벌조림지는 식재목 성장을 위한 비료의 시용으로 인하여 밤나무림과 소나무림에 비해 오염지표라 할 수 있는 EC, $NO{^{3-}}$, $SO_{4}{^{2-}}$, $Cl^{-}$, 탁도, 색도 등이 높은 것으로 보아 임지 이용에 따라 수질에 영향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 각 임분별 계류수의 pH, $NH_{4}{^{+}}$, $Cl^{-}$, $SO_{4}{^{2-}}$, $NO_{3}{^{-}}$는 먹는물 기준이하를 나타내어 수질이 비교적 양호한 편으로 나타났으나, 탁도와 색도의 수치는 모든 임분에서 먹는물 기준을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 도시주변 산림지역은 토사 유출로 인하여 탁수화 및 밤나무 재배지는 시비 등으로 수질오염이 예상되므로 계류수를 식수화하기 위해서는 간이 수질정화시설과 같은 적절한 대비책이 마련되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.

In Korea most of annual rainfall is concentrated in several episodic heavy rains during the season of summer monsoon and typhoon. Because of uneven rainfall distribution many dams have been constructed in order to secure water supply in dry seasons. The Han River system has the most dams among Korean rivers, and the river is a series of dams now. Reservoirs need different strategy of water quality control from river water. Autochthonous organic matter and phosphorus should be the major target to be controlled in lakes. In this Paper some problems are discussed that makes efforts of water quality improvement ineffective in lakes of Korea, even after the substantial investment to wastewater treatment facilities.1) Phosphorus is the key factor controlling eutrophication of lakes and the reduction ofphosphors should be the major target of water treatment. However, water quality management strategy in Korea is still stream-oriented, and focused on BOD removal from sewage. Phosphorus removal efficiency remains as low as 10-30%, because biological treatment is adopted for both secondary treatment and advanced treatment. The standard for TP concentration of the sewage treatment plant effluent is 6 mgP/l in most of regions, and 2 mg/l in enforced region near metropolitan water intake point. TP in the effluents of sewage treatment plants are usually 1-2 mg/1, and most of plants meet the effluent regulation without a further phosphorus removal process. The generous TP standard for effluents discourages further efforts to improve phosphorus removal efficiency of sewage treatment. Considering that TP standard for the effluent is below 0.1 mg/l in some countries, it should be amended to below 0.1 mg/l in Korea, especially in the watershed of large lakes.2) Urban runoff and combined sewer overflow are not treated, even though their total loading into lakes can be comparable to municipal sewage discharges on dry days. Chemical coagulation and rapid settling might be the solution to urban runoff in regard of intermittent operation on only rainy days.3) Aggregated precipitation in Korea that is concentrated on several episodic heavyrains per year causes a large amount of nonpoint source pollution loading into lakes. It makes the treatment of nonpoint source discharge by methods of other countries of even rain pattern, such as retention pond or artificial wetland, impractical in Korea.4) The application rate of fertilizers in Korea is ten times as high as the average ofOECD countries. The total manure discharge from animal farming is thought to be over the capacity of soil treatment in Korea. Even though large portion of manure is composted for organic fertilizer, a lot of nutrients and organic matter emanates from organic compost. The reduction of application rate and discharge rate of phosphorus from agricultural fields should be encouraged by incentives and regulations.5) There is a lot of vegetable fields with high slopes in the upstream region of the HanRiver. Soil erosion is severe due to high slopes, and fertilizer is discharged in the form of adsorbed phosphorus on clay surface. The reduction of soil erosion in the upland area should be the major preventive policy for eutrophication. Uplands of high slope must be recovered to forest, and eroded gullies should be reformed into grass-buffered natural streams which are wider and resistant to bank erosion.
