The study was aimed to evaluate the applicability of a three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic and water quality model, ELCOM-CAEDYM for Yongdam Reservoir, Korea. The model was applied for the simulations of hydrodynamics, thermal stratification processes, stream density flow propagation, and water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen, nutrients, organic materials, and algal biomass (chl-a) for the period of June to December, 2006. The field data observed at four monitoring stations (ST1~ST4) within the reservoir were used to validate the models performance. The model showed reasonable performance nevertheless low frequency boundary forcing data were provided, and well replicated the physical, chemical, and biological processes of the system. Simulated spatial and temporal variations of water temperature, nutrients, and chl-a concentrations were moderately consistent with the field observations. In particular, the model rationally reproduced the succession of different algal species; i.e., diatom dominant during spring and early summer, after then cyanobacteria dominant under warm and stratified conditions. ELCOM-CAEDYM is recommendable as a suitable coupled 3D hydrodynamic and water quality model that can be effectively used for the advanced water quality management of large stratified reservoirs in Korea.

일본에서는 자연친화형 하천사업을 많이 시행하고 있다. 바람직한 수환경을 보전하고 복원하기 위해서는 하천내외의 생태계에 대한 수질기준을 정립하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 생물학적 지표를 사용한 수질 분류 방법을 개발하여 나가사키현의 혼묘하천에 대하여 적용하였다. 이러한 수질 분류를 위하여, 수정된 오염물 지표 분류법을 제안하였다. 비교적 단순한 방법이지만, 가장 많은 종에 대한 3가지 지표만으로 수질을 효과적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 또한, 하천유역의 통합관리를 위하여 다양한 생태계 자료를 포함하는 종합적인 자료관리시스템을 개발하였다. 본 시스템을 사용하여 건전한 수환경을 보전하기 위한 각종 생태계 자료를 쉽게 취득할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과를 사용하여 수질자료를 개선하고, 시민들의 의식을 고양하며, 하천관리계획을 세울 수 있을 것이다. 일본에서는, 자연친화적 하천복원사업에 있어서 시민들의 의식 및 행동이 가장 중요한 요소이다.

In this paper, a new remote terminal unit(hereafter RTU) is proposed to manage a wide range of applications and a variety of sensors (eg, pressure, water quality, temperature and humidity sensors, the amount of pollutants, $CO_2$, etc.) to monitor and control the facility such as water treatment plant, intake and effluent pumping station, water tank and distribution network. Fault status of local sensor devices and network are alerted by using the embedded fault handling capabilities of the RTU in the system and also sent to the fault handling server, by which fault can be easily monitored to users. The developed system was applied to one of K-water branch offices in Geoje city and improved its reliability and stability for controlling and monitoring water facility.

In the TRITIUM project, an on-site monitoring system is being developed to measure tritium (³H) levels in water near nuclear power plants. The quite low-energy betas emitted by ³H have a very short average path in water (5 ㎛ as shown by simulations for 18 keV electrons). This path would be further reduced by impurities present in the water, resulting in a significant reduction of the detection efficiency. Therefore, one of the essential requirements of the project is the elimination of these impurities through a filtration process and the removal of salts in solution. This paper describes a water treatment system developed for the project that meets the following requirements: the water produced should be of near-pure water quality according to ISO 3696 grade 3 standard (conductivity < 10 µS/cm); the system should operate autonomously and be remotely monitored.

Recent developments recommend the use of SSS to prevent combined sewer overflows and reduce excessive pollutant deposition in the receiving waters; however, other studies also suggest that SSS have minimal or no advantage over CSS in terms of reducing the pollutant loads being discharged in natural waterways. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of employing SSS in improving the water quality of the rivers in Okcheon-gun, South Korea. The former combined sewer outfalls (CSOs) were monitored to determine the presence of illicit connections or leaks in the newly-established SSS. Dry and wet-day monitoring was conducted alongside the collection of water samples on 14 points along the reach of the rivers and four former CSOs to determine water quality changes and patterns of pollutant loading. Among the 34 former CSOs in the study area, eight former CSOs exhibited dry-day discharges, implying the possibility of having illicit connections, leaks, or illegal wastewater discharge in the system. Moreover, relatively high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations, ranging from 4.8 mg/L to 24.9 mg/L and 6.4 mg/L to 10.1 mg/L, respectively were observed on three out of the four monitored CSOs. Fluctuations in the pollutant concentrations in the different monitored points along the river was also observed due to the presence of pipes discharging polluted water. Ultimately, further studies are necessary to identify the sources of dry-day discharges in the CSOs to successfully improve the water quality of the rivers in the area.

VC는 국제적인 발암등급 체계인 IRIS, IARC, ESIS에 의해 인체발암물질로 평가되고 있으며, 경구, 호흡, 경피 노출 경로를 통해 간세포 다형성 등을 유발하는 것으로 보고된 바 있다. 또한 VC는 자연계에서 쉽게 분해되지 않는 유기 염소계용제로서, 대기, 지표수, 지하수, 먹는물, 토양으로 유출되어 인체를 포함한 환경을 오염시킬 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 현재 우리나라의 수질환경기준과 먹는물 기준에서는 VC에 대한 규제 항목 및 기준치가 제시되어 있지 않으나, 인체 및 수생태계 위해 우려가 있어 특정수질유해물질 및 수질오염물질로 지정된 바 있다. US EPA, 일본, WHO 등 선진국에서는 법적 항목 및 기준치로 VC를 제도적으로 관리하고 있다. 특히 우리나라에서는 2004년 한강 및 낙동강 유역에서 $0.8\sim4.7{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ (검출한계 $0.1{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$),개별배출업소 유출수에서 $10.6\sim668{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$의 농도로 VC가 검출된 사례가 있으며, 독일, 일본, 미국 등의 국외에서 검출된 $0.03\sim566{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ 농도보다 국내 수계 내 VC의 분포 수준이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 국내 인체 위해성 평가 결과 VC에 대한 위해 우려가 높은 것으로 평가된 바 있으며, 생태 위해성 평가는 자료 부족으로 보류된 바 있다. 이 때 활용된 모니터링 자료는 일부 지점 및 단회 기반의 신뢰성 다소 낮은 자료에 국한되므로 지속적인 모니터링 사업을 통해 신뢰성 높은 자료로 대체될 필요가 있다. 또한 물 환경 내 생태독성연구는 일부 시험증에 국한되어 있고, 실험 설계도 VC의 수체 내 농도 감소를 고려하지 않아 결과치가 과다 산정되었을 가능성이 높다. 따라서 지속적으로 다양한 수서생물을 활용한 VC의 생태 독성 자료가 생성되어야 추후 VC에 대한 신뢰도가 높은 생태 위해성 평가가 수행될 것으로 사료된다.

The objectives of the research were 1) to develop the low-cost and high efficient desalination system to treat brackish water having high salt contents for irrigation at greenhouses near coast, and 2) to monitor and assess the effects of the brackish water desalination system on soil environment and growth in squash greenhouse cultivation area. The monitoring site was one of the squash greenhouse cultivation farm at Choengam-ri, Jinsang-myun, Gwangyang-si, Jeonnam-Do Monitoring results for groundwater irrigation water quality, and salinity showed a remarkable difference between control and treatment group. The salinity of soil at treatment group was less than at control group. While, the system made possible to increase the squash quantity from 4.7 ea to 6.3 ea at each and the average weight of the harvested squash was increased from 277.2 g to 295.1 g. The applied brackish water desalination system may be appled to reclaim sea or brackish irrigated area as alternative water resources, although long-term monitoring is needed to get more representative results at different level of salinity.

Currently, the demand for real-time monitoring of water quality has increased dramatically. Total organic carbon (TOC) analysis is a suitable method for real-time analysis compared with conventional biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) methods in terms of analysis time. However, this method is expensive because of the complicated internal processes involved. The photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based TOC method is simpler as it omits more than three preprocessing steps. This is because it reacts only with organic carbon (OC) without extra processes. We optimized the rate between the TiO2 photocatalyst and binder solution and the TiO2 concentration. The efficiency was investigated under 365 nm UV exposure onto a TiO2 coated substrate. The optimized conditions were sufficient to apply a real-time monitoring system for water quality with a short reaction time (within 10 min). We expect that it can be applied in a wide range of water quality monitoring industries.

The impacts of turbidity flow induced by summer rainfall events on water supply, aquatic ecosystems, and socioeconomics are significant and major concerns in most of reservoirs operations. As a decision support tool, the real-time turbidity flow monitoring and modeling system RTMMS is under development using a laterally integrated two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic and water quality model. The objectives of this paper is to present the preliminary field observation results on the characteristics of rainfall-induced turbidity flows and their density flow regimes, and the model performance in replicating the fate and transport of turbidity plume in a reservoir. The rainfall-induced turbidity flows caused significant drop of river water temperature by 5 to $10^{\circ}C$ and resulted in density differences of 1.2 to $2.6kg/m^3$ between inflow water and ambient reservoir water, which consequently led development of density flows such as plunge flow and interflow in the reservoir. The 2D model was set up for the reservoir. and applied to simulate the temperature stratification, density flow regimes, and temporal and spatial turbidity distributions during flood season of 2004 After intensive refinements on grid resolutions , the model showed efficient and satisfactory performance in simulating the observed reservoir thermal stratification and turbidity profiles that all are essentially required to enhance the performance of RTMMS.
