Borehole geophysical techniques were adopted for characterizing aquifer properties of crystalline rock formation in Bongmyong borehole test site, Kangwon National University. Specific fractures and/or fracture zones accompanying groundwater flow were delineated well by high resolution flowmeter and dilution measurements, and could be confirmed fromconventional well log methods. These geophysical techniques have been proved to be the most effective in aquifer characterization in crystalline rock formation.

시추공의 구간별 수리전도를 추정하는 방법으로는 수압시험(packer test)이 많이 이용되는데 최근에는 유속측정기(flowmeter)를 이용한 시추공 검층법이 개발되어 활발한 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 열원(heat-pulse) 공급 방식의 유속측정기를 이용하여 공주대학 교내에 설치된 시추공에서 자연 유속(ambient flow) 및 양수 유발 유속(pump-induced flow)을 측정하였으며, 자료를 분석하여 수리전도도의 수직적인 분포를 산정하였다. 분석 결과는 수압시험에 의해 산정된 수리전도도의 분포와 잘 일치하였으며, BIPS에 의해 촬영된 시추공 영상 자료와 비교함으로써 지하수 유동과 관련된 투수성 단열(conductive fracture) 들의 수직적인 위치를 정확하게 파악할 수 있었다. 분석 결과는 암반 대수층 내에 발달된 단열망(fracture network)에 대한 3차원적인 정보를 제공할 수 있으며, 이는 효과적인 지하수 모니터링, 모델링, 및 정화 설계(remedial design)에 필요한 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The vertical distribution of hydraulic conductivity of 3 boreholes located at Kongju National University was estimated by the ambient flow and the pump-induced flow measurements using a heat-pulse flowmeter. The ambient flow measurements showed that a great amount of groundwater (1~2 m$^3$/day) flowed in the boreholes through the conductive fractures. The analyzed conductivity profiles we similar to those of the packer test performed for the same boreholes. The conductive fractures in which the differential net flow changed greatly could be identified by the BIPS logging. The water-quality logging data showed that quality of groundwater changed abruptly at some depths of the boreholes. This change in water quality can be attributed to the presence of conductive fractures that have resulted in the mixing of groundwater of different quality flowing in different fracture channels. However, compared to the flowmeter test, the water-quality logging showed low capability in identifying locations of conductive fractures.

Stationary and trolling methods in measuring flow using flowmeter were adopted to investigate the hydraulic connectivity of fractures and to evaluate the applicability of the measurement methods. Stationary method was useful for identifying the inflow and outflow patterns in the measured section, which enabled us to analyze the hydraulic connectivity of fractures between the wells. Trolling method failed to find the inflow and outflow patterns in the well, but was very effective for locating the conductive fractures. Measuring flow in the borehole by both stationary and trolling methods was found to be very efficient for identifying conductive fractures and their hydraulic connectivity in fractured rock aquifer.

The horizontal heat-pulse flowmeter was used to measure grounwater flow in volcanic rocks at sites in eastern part of Jeju Island, Korea. Three boreholes, Handong-1, Jongdal-1, and Susan-1, which are located at close distance from the coastline, were selected from the sea water intrusion monitoring wells. To evaluate the direction and velocity of the groundwater flow, 6 to 8 measuring points for each borehole were chosen. There are two major flow directions at Handong-1, which are toward north-east and south-east directions and velocity ranges from $2.2{\sim}3.0cm/hr\;and\;0.6{\sim}1.0cm/hr$, respectively. For Jongdal-1, two major flow directions were detected that are east and north-west and velocity ranges from $1.2{\sim}2.0cm/hr$. For Susan-1, major flow is toward east direction and the ,velocity ranges from $2.2{\sim}2.7cm/hr$ at depth $60{\sim}70m$,\;and\;0.8{\sim}0.9cm/hr$ at depth $70{\sim}80m$. In order to evaluate the tidal effect on groundwater flow, direction and velocity were measured at specific depth with time, At depth 57m of Susan-1, the velocity increased during the tidal variation, The flow direction and velocity varies with different depths, and they are also affected by tidal fluctuation. Thereafter, care must be taken when flow direction and velociy is estimated indirectly by using hydraulic head at monitoring wells.

This study intended to evaluate hydrogeological characteristics in relation to subsurface geology data obtained from borehole, groundwater level, borehole flowmeter test, and field hydraulic tests. The regression equation of groundwater level (Y) versus ground elevation (X) is expressed by Y=0.75X-7.00 with quite high correlation coefficient of 0.78. Relationship between groundwater level and thickness of landfill, alluvium, and weathered zone results in higher correlation of groundwater level (Y) versus natural log value of weathered tone (A) than other correlations, with the regression equation Y= exp(9.974A)-14.155. The result of groundwater flow measurement in the boreholes indicates that groundwater flows towards between south and southwest, and this approximately agree with regional distribution of groundwater levels.

The groundwater movement in the west costal landfill area was analyzed by measuring N value by Standard Penetration Test, coefficient of permeability by falling head method, linear structure analysis by Digital Elevation Method, groundwater flow direction and rate by flowmeter logging due to tidal variation in the each borehole. The coefficients of permeability of the weathered zone and of the marine deposit showed similar values although some values of weathered zone show smaller values than those of the marine deposit. The major groundwater flow and rate in the marine deposit observed as east-west direction due to tidal variation, but on the other hand it was observed as N45E in weathered zone which is the major direction of the linear structures in the area. 2 hours delayed changes of the groundwater flow direction was observed during the 24 hours observation, and it seems to be a travel time of the tidal wave which cause the continuous change of the hydaulic gradient of the groundwater.
