This paper is concerned with the development of a new method for making and separating ice and saving floated ice by installing an evaporation plate at in-water within a storage tank. In a conventional harvest-type ice storage system, a tank saves ice by separating a formed ice from an installed evaporation plate, which is located above an ice storage tank as an ice storage system. A new harvest-type method shows very good heat transfer efficiency than a convectional method. It is because the evaporation panel is directly contacted with water in a storage tank. Also, at a conventional system a circulating pump, a circulating water distributor and a piping are installed, but these components are not necessary in a new method. In this study two kinds of ice storage systems are experimentally investigated to study the thermal characteristics of ice storage tanks. The results showed discharge of cold capacity of new type indicated the high values about 30~40% based on five time of drive, the temperature difference of inlet/outlet occurred the big range about $1.3^{\circ}C$. So, the new type which makes ice in water showed superiorly.

Reservoir storage and water level information is essential for accurate drought monitoring and prediction. In particular, the agricultural drought has increased the risk of agricultural water shortages due to regional bias in reservoirs and water supply facilities, which are major water supply facilities for agricultural water. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the available water capacity of the reservoir, and it is necessary to determine the water surface area and water capacity. Remote sensing provides images of temporal water storage and level variations, and a combination of both measurement techniques can indicate a change in water volume. In areas of ungauged water volume, satellite remote sensing image acts as a powerful tool to measure changes in surface water level. The purpose of this study is to estimate of reservoir storage and level variations using satellite remote sensing image combined with hydrological statistical data and the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). Water surface areas were estimated using the Sentinel-2 satellite images in Seosan, Chungcheongnam-do from 2016 to 2018. The remote sensing-based reservoir storage estimation algorithm from this study is general and transferable to applications for lakes and reservoirs. The data set can be used for improving the representation of water resources management for incorporating lakes into weather forecasting models and climate models, and hydrologic processes.

Many reservoirs have been constructed for sustainable utilization of water resources in Korea. Effective management of water resources in Korea becomes very important in resent years. Especially, the dredging in reservoirs is important for effective water resources management and one in easy water resources security methods. According to "The reservoir dredging mid-long term planning investigation report", it was investigated that 1221 reservoirs need to dredge among 3,288 reservoirs managed by KARICO. And, KARICO made a survey of reservoirs for the sediment and storage change in $2002{\sim}2004$. In results, it was investigated total storage $1,406{\pm}10^6m^3$, effective storage $1,344{\pm}10^6m^3$ in mid-small 2,748 reservoirs and the storage ratio decreased total storage ratio 15.7%, effective storage ratio 4.4%.

Ninety tow percent of over 1,800 gate controlled dams in Korea are classified as small dams. The primary purpose of these small dams is to supply irrigation water. Therefore, while large dams can store as much as 80 percent of precipitation and thus are efficient to control flood, small dams are often lack of flood control function resulting in increased susceptibility drought and flood events. The purpose of this study is to develope a storage management model for irrigation dams occupying the largest portion of small dams. The proposed Storage Management Model (STMM) can be applied to the Seongju dam for efficient management. Besides, the operation standard is capable of analyzing additional available water, considering water demand and supply conditions of watershed realistically. And the model can improve the flood control capacity and water utilization efficiency by the flexible operation of storage space. Consequently, if the small dams are managed by the proposed Storage management model, it is possible to maximize water resources securance and minimize drought and flood damages.

This paper is concerned with the development of a new method for making and separating ice in-water and saving floated ice by installing an evaporation panel in an ice storage tank. The new method shows very good heat transfer efficiency than that of the convectional method. It is because the evaporation panel is directly contacted with water in the storage tank. The experiments were performed by varying inlet and outlet refrigerant temperatures of its evaporator. From the experimental results, the operating characteristics of in-water harvest-type ice storage system were investigated by measuring temperature and pressure at each point of the ice storage system and power required to operating compressor respect to the changes of the inlet and outlet refrigerant temperature of evaporator. It can be think that defrost frequency decreased and heavy ice created as the refrigerant temperature of evaporator outlet and defrost setting temperature is low so gotten result can effect to release efficiency. Also, consumption power, condensing heat quantity, refrigerating capacity and performance efficiency decreased as time goes by. Therefore, these results provide the basic data for system optimization, performance improvement and the possibility of application to other fields.

To ensure hygienic safety of drinking water in a water storage tank, the concentrations of residual chlorine should be above a certain regulation level. In this study, we conducted model simulations to investigate the effects of temperature on residual chlorine in water storage tank conditions typically used in Seoul. For this, values of model parameters (decomposition rate constant, sorption coefficient, and evaporation mass transfer coefficient) were experimentally determined from laboratory experiments. The model simulations under continuous flow conditions showed that the residual chlorine concentrations were satisfied the water quality standard level (0.1 mg/L) at all the temperature conditions ($5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$). Meanwhile, when the tanks had a no flow condition (i.e., no tap-water influent due to a sudden shut-down), the concentrations became lower than the regulatory level after certain periods. The findings from this modeling works simulating Seoul's water storage tanks suggested disappearance rate of residual chlorine could be reduced through the tanks design optimization with maintenance of low water temperature, minimization of air flow and volume, suppression of dispersion and the use of wall materials with low sorption ability.

Thermal energy storage system used a storage tank is a reasonable method to solve energy problem. In thermal energy storage system, energy collected from many types of heat source is stored in a storage tank and then supply to load at the time is in demand. In this study, flow characteristics and storage efficiency were analysed by using a insulated raft in longterm hot water storage system. From the experiment it is found that insulated raft has a important role in longterm hot water storage system and storage efficiency can be obtained to 96% using inletport type and insulated raft together.
