According to 2012 OECD environmental report, Korea was ranked as the first country of water stress. Water footprint is a method to calculate water usage during the life cycle of a product from material procurement through production to disposal to recycle and to quantify the load to water resources. In water footprint calculation, water consumption unit is used. Agricultural water use is over 48% so it is urgent to mange that area Korea needs to spread the discussion about water footprint as quickly as possible, for the study to prevent social and environmental problems due to water shortage. This paper, through water footprint calculation and comparison in Chungju and Geochang areas, looks to counter measures for water risk, targeting domestically-produced apple.

Water inrush may occur during seaside urban tunnel excavation. Various factors affect the water inrush, and the water inrush mechanism is complex. In this study, nine evaluation indices having potential effects on water inrush were analysed. Specifically, the geographic and geomorphic conditions, unfavourable geology, distance from the tunnel to sea, strength of the surrounding rock, groundwater level, tidal action, cyclical footage, grouting pressure, and grouting reinforced region were analysed. Furthermore, a two-step interval risk assessment method for water inrush management during seaside urban tunnel excavation was developed by a multi-index system and interval risk assessment comprised of an interval analytic hierarchy process, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, and relative superiority analysis. The novel assessment method was applied to the Haicang Tunnel successfully. A preliminary interval risk assessment method for water inrush was performed based on engineering geological conditions. As a result, the risk level fell into a risk level IV, which represents a section with high risk. Subsequently, a secondary interval risk assessment method was performed based on engineering geological conditions and construction conditions. The risk level of water inrush is reduced to a risk level II. The results agreed with the current tunnel situation, which verified the reliability of this approach.

홍수 발생 시 제공되는 적절한 비상대처방안(EAP) 정보는 재난에 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 필수요소이며, 상습 침수지역과 예상지역의 인명 및 재산피해를 줄이는 중요한 역할을 한다. 국내에서 사용하는 대부분의 EAP는 국가위기관리기본지침의 위기경보 4단계를 근간으로 해당 시설물에 대한 단계별 대응업무를 규정하도록 되어 있다. 이와 관련하여 홍수통제소는 수위표 또는 해발고도를 기준으로 하천지점별 홍수주의보와 홍수경보를 계획홍수량의 50%와 70%를 기준으로 발현하고 있으나, 위기경보 각 단계별 설정기준과의 명확한 연관관계를 제시하고 있지 않다. 반면, 일본과 미국의 경우 수재해 대응단계를 구분하는데 있어 하천수위를 가장 중요한 판단기준으로 삼고 있으며, 국내보다는 높은 계획홍수위 설정기준을 갖고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 국내 하천홍수 대응 수재해 위기경보 4단계 설정기준을 개선하기 위하여 국내외 관련 규정 및 적용현황을 분석하였으며, 실무자 관점에서 실효성을 제고하기 위하여 위기경보단계별 설정기준을 상향조정하고 수위표 기준으로 표기방식을 개선하도록 제안하였다. 적용성 및 실효성 검증을 위하여 개선된 설정기준(안)을 수변구조물 재난대응 의사결정시스템에 적용하고 테스트베드에 대한 모의훈련을 실시하였다.

In generally speaking, the purpose of Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) is to give the environment its due place in the decision-making process by clearly ealuating the environmental consequence of a proposed activity before action is taken. The introduction of conventional EIA is to be seen as an end product of a very long evolutionary process, starting with rudimentary but evolving pollution control measures for air, water, noise, land and chemicals, each governed by separate, and separately administered pieces of legislation. In EIA process, the measures of status, scoping, proposed mitigation and communication have not been very quantitative in their significancy. Of course, the determinations have uncertainity in the implications for significant impacts. To improve the determination of significant impacts, some more comprehensive methodologies of EIA has been proposed with the concepts of risk analysis in the proposed projects. The concepts of risk analysis has been introduced to the expression of human health impairment due to environmental pollutants since the early 1980's. The risk analysis being meant by the statistical significance of impact has a process quantitatively considering uncertainities and importances of ecological systems and human health as well. The process of risk analysis shows assessment, doseresponse in toxicity, exposure assessment and risk characterization. With the risk assessment, it could be suggested for the proper measurements against their anticipated risk in the EIA. This paper deals the priciples developing process and application of the risk-based analysis in EIA.

This study developed selection criteria of small-scales reservoirs, having under $300,000m^3$ storage capacity, for the Emergency Action Plan(EAP) establishment in order to reduce the disaster risks of the reservoir's failures. Those reservoirs are out of ranges of Korean EAP establishment standard, but have potential risk of disasters as they have often failed by the recent extreme rainfall events and earthquakes, causing economical and life losses. The problem of reservoir aging is also one of the reasons of them. In this study, the developed selection criteria of small reservoirs for EAP establishment are storage capacity, embankment height, reservoir age, heavy rain factor and earthquake factor. These criteria were selected based on the review of the existing EAP establishment guidelines, analysis of the past dam failure cases, and the previous related studies. The quantification of these criteria were conducted for the practical applications in the fields, and applied to 67 previous failures in order to investigate the relation of each criteria with these failures. The earthquake factor found to be the highest relations followed by heavy rain factors, combination of earthquake and heavy rain factors, and reservoir age. The classification was made as observation and review groups for EAP establishments based on overlapping numbers of each criteria. This classifications applied to 354 reservoirs designated as having the potential disaster risk by MOIS, and showed 38.4% of observation and 11.9% of review groups. Anticipatory monitoring and regular inspection should be made by professional facility managers for the observation group, and necessity of EAP establishment should be assessed for the review group based on the downstream status and financial budget.

강우는 자연과 인간에게 중요한 자원이다. 적절한 강우는 농작물의 성장과 토지의 온도를 일정하게 유지시켜줌으로써 우리 사회가 안정적으로 유지되도록 하는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그러나 태풍 및 집중호우 등과 같이 특정 지역에 계획강수량보다 더 많이 발생한 집중강우는 시설물 및 인간에게 커다란 피해를 입히기도 한다. 이에 따라 미국, 일본 등 국외 선진국의 수재해 대응기관들은 시설운영자와 재난전문가, 응급대응인력들에게 가이드라인을 제공하기 위해 수재해 EAP(Emergency Action Plan)를 작성 운영하여 시설물을 보호하고 강화하는데 활용하고 있다. 대표적인 예로, 미국의 FEMA와 DHS는 시설물과 인명을 보호하기 위해 댐, 제방 등을 위한 다양한 EAP를 운영하고 있는데, 특히 FEMA는 EAP를 시설물이나 인명에 가해지는 피해나 기능적 충격과 같은 응급상황을 감소시키기 위해 작성하는 공식문서로 규정하고 있으며, 이 EAP를 통해 응급 시에 발생할 수 있는 모든 상황뿐만 아니라 평상시 발생할 수 있는 시설물관리상의 문제까지 대응이 가능하도록 규정하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 미국, 일본 등 국외주요국과 국내에서 사용중인 EAP 관련 규정을 분석하여 국내 상황에 적합한 EAP 체계를 제안하였다. EAP는 예방, 준비, 대응, 복구의 재난단계별로 시설물과 인명을 보호하기 위해 재난전문가들과 시설운영자들이 취해야 할 업무, 응급장비 운용 등의 내용을 담고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 EAP 프레임워크는 테스트베드 적용을 통해 적정성을 평가받았으며, 국내 홍수재난 위험을 감소시키기 위한 절차와 방법 개선에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

Spa represents a treatment widely used in many rheumatic diseases (RD). The mechanisms by which immersion in mineral or thermal water ameliorates RD are not fully understood. The net benefit is probably the result of a combination of factors, among which the mechanical, thermal and chemical effects are most prominent. Buoyancy, immersion, resistance and temperature play important roles. According to the gate theory, pain relief may be due to the pressure and temperature of the water on skin; heat may reduce muscle spasm and increase the pain threshold. Mud-bath therapy increases plasma ${\beta}$-endorphin levels and secretion of corticotrophin, cortisol, growth hormone and prolactin. It has recently been demonstrated that thermal mud-bath therapy induces a reduction in circulating levels of prostaglandin E2, leukotriene B4, interleukin-$1{\beta}$ and tumour necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, important mediators of inflammation and pain. Furthermore, balneotherapy has been found to cause an increase in insulin-like growth factor-1, which stimulates cartilage metabolism, and transforming growth factor-${\beta}$. Beneficial anti-inflammatory and anti-degenerative effects of mineral water were confirmed in chondrocytes cultures, too. Various studies in vitro and in humans have highlighted the positive action of mud-packs and thermal baths, especially sulphurous ones, on the oxidant/antioxidant system. Overall, thermal stress has an immunosuppressive effect. Many other non-specific factors may also contribute to the beneficial effects observed after spa therapy in some RD, including effects on cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. adipokines) and changes in the environment, pleasant surroundings and the absence of work duties.

Tea is a pleasant, popular and safe beverage in the world. During the past decade, epidemiological studies have shown that tea catechins intake is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease. Tea provides a dietary source of health-promoting components to help humans reduce a wide variety of cancer risks and chronic diseases. The antioxidative activity of tea-derived catchins has been extensively studied. The antioxidant effect is a synergistic action between catechins e.g. EGCG, EGC, ECG, EC, pheophytins a and b, and other components in tea leaves, which aye more bioavailable for human body. Green tea has a Higher content of catechins than other kinds of tea. Green tea extract with hot water has high potential and more efficiency to reduce cancer risk than any other tea products or pure EGCG. Protein, iyon, and other food components may interfere with the bioavailability of ten catechins. Interaction of catechins with drug affects the cancer-preventive activity of some cancer-fighting medication. Further studies are required to determine the bioavailability of tea catechins and cancer-preventive functionality.
