Despite the impressive development of water infrastructure and management in recent decades, Korea still faces a number of threats to water security owing to such factors as climate change. This puts the country at the top spot amongst the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries in terms of water stress. It is suggested that increasing food imports and decreasing domestic food production can contribute to water and land savings and in extension, to increased water and land security. This study therefore aimed at analyzing the impact of virtual water import through food trade on the water and land savings in Korea. It was concluded that over the period 2000 - 2017, significant amounts of national water and land was saved through the importation of major upland crops. In addition, we estimated the virtual water trade (VWT) that refers to the trade of water embedded in food products. The results showed a significant increase in the amount of virtual water traded over the study period.

This study was designed to analyze the effects of reducing water turnover in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus farms, focusing on olive flounder growth, decreasing electricity costs, and developing measures to ensure business stability. Daily water turnover was set at 18 in the control group and six in the experimental group. Juvenile fish were reared for 12 months. No significant differences in mean weight were observed between groups until five months. After five months, the mean weight of the control group grew significantly faster than that of the experimental group. Maintaining water turnovers leverl at six turnovers for the first five months after stocking juvenile fish and then increasing water turnover resulted in a 34.4% reduction in electricity costs compared to the control group. This approach presents a potential method to enhance the profitability of olive flounder farms and ensure stable productivity and profitability without sacrificing olive flounder growth.

Many countries over the world have taken many discussions and endeavors on environmental improvements of energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions for solving global climate change problems. In Korea, pre-considerations of environment-conscious factors in buildings have been taken to be critical with new constructions and renovation markets. In this situation, the Korean Green Building Certification(KGBC) system to induce the diffusion of sustainable buildings was introduced in 2002 and developed as an improved version of the G-SEED(Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design) system in 2013 after major revisions. This research examines the importance of assessment criteria on apartment buildings to certify green buildings using the AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process) method and suggests a new direction on certification assessment standards from the AHP result. In order to apply the AHP method, the survey via e-mail was conducted to design staffs in domestic architectural firms. As a result, assessment criteria such as ecological environment, indoor environment, and energy & environment pollution among 7 main ones proved to be important on assessing the G-SEED system for apartment buildings, while criteria such as land use & transportation, material & resource, water circulation management, maintenance management did relatively unimportant.

The study is aimed to investigate the features and socio-economic background of farmland consolidation project with medium-sized paddy plot at irrigation associations during the Japanese colonial period in Korea. Most of farmland consolidation works in the 1940s was composed of independent irrigation and drainage ditches along the short side of field plot. However, the number of farm roads at farmland consolidation zone was much smaller than number of irrigation ditches to decrease reduction in farmland area. The standard field plot was medium-sized (about 20-40 ares) in Korea but small-sized (about 10 ares) in Japan in this period. As the result of farmland consolidation works, the unit water requirement was increased to 0.0035 m³/s/ha, and the unit area drainage discharge was over 2.0 m³/s/km² in many cases. The farmland consolidation with medium-sized plot have been spread under the colonial landlord system, where major landlords occupied a large share of farmland and managed corporate farming to gain more benefit. The reasons for spread of farmland consolidation with medium-sized plot may be as follows: high net profit ratio, an increase in land price, and labor savings in rice farming. The farmland consolidation with medium-sized plot in the colonial period showed intermediate features between the farm consolidation with small-sized plot for an increase in land productivity in Japan and the farm consolidation with medium-sized plot for an increase in labor productivity after the 1960s.

기후변화는 현재 사용되고 있는 지표수 및 지하수 등의 담수자원 외에도 새로운 수자원을 확보해야할 필요성을 증가시켰다. 해수담수화 시장은 이러한 변화에 따라서 매년 급증하고 있는 상황이며, 이에 발맞추어 2007년 해수담수화 플랜트 사업단이 국내에서 출범하였다. 2014년에 종료된 해수담수화플랜트 사업단은 증발식 해수담수화 기술에 치우친 국내 기술을 역삼투방식 해수담수화 기술로 선회할 수 있도록 이끌었다. 현재 세계 최고의 역삼투방식 해수담수화 기술 에너지 효율성은 약 $3.5kWh/m^3$ 전후로 조사된다. 기장 플랜트의 수준은 $3.8{\sim}4.0kWh/m^3$ 수준으로 비록 세계 최고 수준에는 미치지 못하나, 선두권이라 하기에는 부족함이 없는 것으로 사료된다. 한편, 세계 역삼투방식 해수담수화 기술은 평준화 수준에 이른 것으로 사료되며, 에너지 저감을 위해 새로운 기술을 개발하고자 경쟁중이다. 미래 해수담수 시장에서 경쟁할 것으로 예상되는 기술로 정삼투공정, 막증발법 등이 있으며, 이를 위해 국내에서도 정역삼투 융합공정 개발, 막증발법 및 얍력지연삼투등의 기술개발을 진행중에 있다. 이를 통하여 국내 기술수준을 $2.5kWh/m^3$까지 낮출 것으로 기대된다.
