The aquatic animals of Tan stream were composed of 46 species, 28 families, 11 orders, 6 classes in 4 phyla during the survey period of April, 1996 to December, 1996. They were composed of 31 species in aquatic insecta, 6 species in annelida, 3 species in mollusca, 1 species in crustacea, and 5 species in fishes, respectively. Major dominant species in Tan stream were Chironomidae sp.1, Chironomidae sp.2, Chironomidae sp.3, Tubufucidae sp.1, Physa acuta and hirudo niponica. Dominance indices of benthic macroinvertebrates ranged highly from 95.74 to 100.00% at lower stream(site 4), but ranged 50.00 to 95.85% at site 1 through site 3. The aquatic animals ranged from 25 to 32 species at site 1 through site 3, but they were only 3 species at site 4 for survey period. Tan stream in the light of urban stream ecosystem has a little less riffle areas and hydrophyte areas by cementation of riparian area and channel type of water course. Therefore, the species of aquatic animals in Tan stream decreased because of deterioration of water quality according to reduction of self-purifcation ability and loss of microhabitat according to reduction of hydrophyte areas and riparian areas. The tendency of decreasing species of aquatic animals appeared seriously at lower stream From drive licence test authority at Kangnam-ku, Seoul to conjunction point of the Han river.

삼천포천은 제방을 따라 제내지에 인공구조물이 설치되어 있으며, 하상구조가 인간활동으로 교란되어 있다. 본 연구결과 부착조류와 저서성 무척추동물의 생물다양성이 여타 하천에 비해 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 생태하천 복원 시 제방의 제외지와 제내지를 동시에 친환경적으로 복원을 고려함으로써 생물다양성 증대를 도모하고 하상 복원 등을 통해 회유성 어류들이 하천생태계로 유입되어 생태계의 안정성 및 건강성을 회복해야 할 필요가 있다(Palmer et al., 2014). 이를 위해서는 생태하천 복원시 사용되는 재료는 무생물적 재료를 지양하고 과거부터 주로 서식하는 자생식물 등을 주재료로 사용하고 하도 구조는 하상의 현재 유로형상 (flow channel pattern)을 유지하도록 유도해야 한다. 유로 연장이 필요한 경우 직강화 등에 의해 축소되어서는 안되며 축소된 유로는 복원을 권장한다. 분절된 지류는 본류와 연결시키고 연력이 곤란한 웅덩이는 대상하천에 맞게 소택형 습지를 형성하도록 유도한다. 또한 생태통로(Eco-corridor) 확보 및 추이대 조성을 통해 생태환경 기능을 개선할 필요가 있으며 제내지의 폐천 부지는 하천구역으로 편입하여 생태습지 등으로 이용을 적극 고려해야 한다(Choi and Lee, 2019). 생태적 복원을 위해 주차장, 체육시설 및 공원 등은 배제해 자연성을 유지하되 주민의 활용도를 고려하는 것도 중요하다. 이를 통하여 삼천포천의 자연성 회복을 통한 생물다양성 증진 및 주민에게 다양한 문화 휴식 공간 제공 등의 생태계 서비스 능력을 향상을 기대한다(Bennett et al., 2009).

South Africa has developed a policy and law that calls and provides for the equitable and sustainable use of water resources. Sustainable resource use is dependent on effective resource protection. Rivers are the most important freshwater resources in the country, and there is a focus on developing and applying methods to quantify what rivers need in terms of flow and water quality. These quantified and descriptive objectives are then related to specified levels of ecological health in a classification system. This paper provides an overview of an integrated and systematic methodology, where, fer each river, and each river reach, the natural condition and the present ecological condition are described, and a level/class of ecosystem health is selected. The class will define long term management goals. This procedure requires each ecosystem component to be quantified, starting with the abiotic template. A modified flow regime is modelled for each ecosystem health class, and the resultant fluvial geomorphology and hydraulic habitats are described. Then the water chemistry is described, and the water quality changes that are likely to occur as a consequence of altered flows are predicted. Finally, the responses to the stress imposed on the biota (fish, invertebrates and vegetation) by modified flow and water quality are predicted. All of the predicted responses are translated into descriptive and/or quantitative management objectives. The paper concludes with the recognition of active method development, and the enormous challenge of applying the methods, implementing the law, and achieving river protection and sustainable resource-use.

In these days, water environment is getting threatened by a variety of toxic pollutants discharged from industries. However, environmental standards and regulations in Korea may be in straitened circumstances to protect the water environment from it. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to compare the management state of the toxic substances in water environment and to present the framework for deriving water quality criteria in USA and Japan. To conserve the water environment from the toxic pollutants more efficiently, the following considerations could be suggested in standards and regulation in Korea. Firstly, there should be consistency of regulated pollutants in drinking water quality standard, water quality standards and permissible wastewater discharge standards. Secondly, in case of deriving the water quality standards, it is required to consider the conservation of the aquatic ecosystem as well as the protection of human health. Finally, it is indispensable to make risk-based approach in management of toxic pollutants in water environment.

베이지안 알고리즘 모델은 입력된 자료를 기반으로 확률을 계산하는 모델 알고리즘으로써 주로 복합재난 및 수질관리를 위해 사용되었다. 최근에는 생물 간, 혹은 생물-비생물 요인들 사이의 생태학적 구조를 파악하고 이를 이용한 생태 네트워크 분석에 활용되고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 하구수생태계의 부착돌말류 군집 변화와 이화학적 요인들 사이의 베이지안 네트워크 분석을 수행하여 부착돌말류 건강성 변화의 주요 요인들을 파악하였다. 베이지안 분석을 위해 본 연구 자료를 위해 물환경측정망의 생물 측정망을 기준으로 전국 하구 지역에 분포하는 668개 지점을 2008년부터 2019년까지 연간 2회 조사를 수행하였다. 자료는 서식지 요인, 물리적 요인, 화학적 요인, 생물학적 요인으로 분류하였으며 이를 베이지안 네트워크 모델에 입력하여 전국 및 해역별 하구수생태계 네트워크 분석을 수행하였다. 2008년부터 2019년까지 전국 하구수역에서 부착돌말류는 총 625개 분류군이 출현하였으며 2목, 5아목, 18과, 141속, 595종, 29변종, 1품종으로 구성되었다. Nitzschia inconspicua의 누적 세포밀도가 가장 높았으며 Nitzschia palea가 뒤를 이었고, 이외에도 Pseudostaurosira elliptica와 Achnanthidium minutissimum 분류군의 누적 세포밀도가 높았다. 부착돌말류를 이용한 하구수생태계 건강성 평가 결과는 조사 지점이 증가함에 따라서 대체로 보통(C등급)~나쁨(D등급) 등급의 비율이 증가하였으나 조사 시기에 따른 등급별 변화는 매우 미약하였다. 베이지안 네트워크 모델을 이용하여 하구수생태계 부착돌말류 건강성 평가 결과와 서식지 정보 및 이화학적 수질 정보 사이의 관계를 분석한 결과, 건강성 평가 점수에 가장 민감하게 영향을 미치는 요인은 생물 요인이었으며 서식지 및 이화학적 요인은 상대적으로 민감도가 낮았다. 하구수생태계 건강성 평가 점수에 가장 민감하게 영향을 미치는 부착돌말류 분류군은 Nitzschia inconspicua, N. fonticola, Achnanthes convergens, Pseudostaurosira elliptica으로 나타났으며 생물 요인 이외에도 서식지 인근의 공단과 축사의 비율이 건강성 평가 점수에 많은 영향을 미쳤다. 해역에 따라서 부착돌말류 건강성 평가 점수에 민감한 주요 분류군 조성은 다르게 나타났으나 모든 해역에서 부착돌말류의 세포밀도와 AFDM 및 Chl-a는 부착돌말류 건강성 점수에 민감한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 베이지안 네트워크 분석은 하구수생태계와 같이 복잡한 생태구조에서도 건강성에 영향을 미치는 주요 분류군과 요인들을 파악하는데 유용하였으며 이를 통해 향후 훼손된 하구수생태계의 복원을 수행함에 있어서 복원 대상을 보다 정확하게 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Most of urban streams in Korea have been changed channel forms and suffered from direct inflow of domestic sewage, etc. Therefore, maintenance of structure and function of those ecosystem are hard. The present study was carried out to examine the life survival maintenance ability of the stream by community analysis of aquatic animals in typical urban stream (Jungrang stream) in Seoul. The aquatic animals were composed of 31 species, 18 families, 8 orders, 5 classes in 4 phyla. Seasonal species number showed big fluctuation between 8 species in Winter and 24 species in Autumn. Major dominant species in Jungrang stream were Tubificidae sp.1, Chironomidae sp.1, Chironomidae sp.2 and Physa acuta, and above endurance species for water pollution occupied very high dominance indices. But, Cercion hieroglyphicum, Ischnura asiatica, Rantra chinensis, Herochares striatus, Agabus japonicus in benthic macroinvertebrates of a few individuals are appeared. Also, fry of Carassius auratus and Silurus asotus in fish are occurred. Therefore, we can be inferred on posibility of growth and spawning of above species in the stream. Jungrang stream has a small quantity of natural riffle areas, ponds and watergrass areas by channel form of water course. Aquatic animals in Jungrang stream has been suffered by reduction of self-purification reaction ability and have mass production of attached algae on the stream bed. For analysis of fluctuation of life survival maintenance ability in Jungrang stream, long-term survey is needed.

Pharmaceuticals in the aquatic environment are trace contaminants of growing importance in environmental health due to their physiologically active nature. Pharmaceuticals could affect non-target species and might eventually damage sustainability of susceptible populations in the ecosystem. Potentials for health consequences among susceptible human population cannot be ruled out since long-term exposure to cocktails of pharmaceuticals, which might be present in drinking water, is possible. Selection of antibiotic resistant microorganisms is of another concern. In order to understand, and if needed, to properly address the environmental health issues of pharmaceutical residues, knowledge gaps need to be filled. Knowledge gaps exist in many important areas such as prioritization of target pharmaceuticals for further risk studies, occurrence patterns in different environments, chronic toxicities, and toxicities of pharmaceutical mixtures. Appropriate treatment technologies for drinking water and wastewater could be developed when they are deemed necessary. One of the simplest, yet most efficient measures that could be undertaken is to implement a return program for unused or expired drugs. In addition, implementation of environmental risk assessment frameworks for pharmaceuticals would make it possible to efficiently manage potential environmental health problems associated with pharmaceutical residues in the environment.

In this study, we applied 10-metric health assessment model, based on the Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) during 2006 in the Changwon Stream, which is located in the Changwon city, Gyeongnam province, S. Korea, and then compared with water quality data. The Index of Biological Integrity (IBI) in the Changwon Stream varied from 18 to 38 in the watershed depending on the sampling location and averaged 30.3 (n=6) during the study. Analysis of tolerance guilds showed that the proportion of sensitive species was 13%, but tolerant and intermediate species were 34% and 53%, respectively. Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) averaged 43.3 (range: 65-104, n=6) indicating non-supporting condition, based on the criteria of U.S. EPA (1993). Values of QHEI showed a typical longitudinal decreases from the headwater reach to the downstream location, except for Site 1 with a low QHEI value by artificial habitat by concrete construction. Minimum QHEI was found in Site 4 where fish diversity was minimal. Conductivity increased continuously along the gradients and especially showed abrupt increases in the downstream sites along with turbidity. Stream ecosystem health of IBI matched to the values of QHEI except for S6. Low IBI values in the sites 4 and 5 was considered to be a result of combined effects of chemical pollutions and habitat degradations. Our results support the hypotheses of Plafkin et ai. (1989) that physical habitat quality directly influences the trophic structure and species richness, and is closely associated with IBI values.

Eutrophication processes of aquatic environment are strictly correlated with the concentration levels of nitrogen, phosphorous, organic matter and biological parameters such as phytoplankton and chlorophylla (Tremel, 1996; Burns et al., 1997; Young et al. 1999; Wei et al.,2000). Accordingly, the monitoring and evaluation of these factors will provide useful information about the health of aquatic ecosystem. However, the traditional types of auqatic chemistry analysis and ecological monitoring of phytoplankton are time-consuming, costly, and further resulting in secondary pollution due to the use of reagents. NIR (near-infrared) spectroscopy, as a rapid, non-destructive, little sample preparation and reagents-free technology (Hildrum et al., 1992), has been extensively applied to the characterization of food (Osborne and Fearn, 1988), pharmaceutical (Morisseau and Rhodes, 1995) and textile materials (Clove et al.,2000). Currently, NIR technology has been used indirectly in inferring lake water chemistry by two approaches, suspended (Malley et al., 1996) or seston (Dabakk et al., 1999), and sediments (Korsman et al., 1992; Malley et al., 1999). In addition, the evaluation of trophic state and the identification of the key factors contributed to the trophication are the key step to restore the damaged aquatic environment. Moreover, an understanding of the factors, which regulate the algal proliferation, is crucial to the successful management of aquatic ecosystem. In the paper, NIR technology will be used to study the environmental factors affecting the algal proliferation in combination with the trophic state index and diversity index. This novel developed system can be applied in monitoring and evaluating allopathic water environment and provide real time information services for the aquatic environment management.
