Extensive groundwater abstraction has been recognized as one of the major challenges in management of coastal groundwater. The purpose of this study was to assess potential changes of groundwater distribution of northeastern Jeju Island over 10-year duration, where brackish water have been actively developed. To quantitatively estimate the coastal groundwater resources, numerical simulations using three-dimensional finite-difference density-dependent flow models were performed to describe spatial distribution of the groundwater in the aquifer under various pumping and recharge scenarios. The simulation results showed different spatial distribution of freshwater, brackish, and saline groundwater at varying seawater concentration from 10 to 90%. Volumetric analysis was also performed using three-dimensional concentration distribution of groundwater to calculate the volume of fresh, brackish, and saline groundwater below sea level. Based on the volumetric analysis, a quantitative analysis of future seawater intrusion vulnerability was performed using the volume-based vulnerability index adopted from the existing analytical approaches. The result showed that decrease in recharge can exacerbate vulnerability of coastal groundwater resources by inducing broader saline area as well as increasing brackish water volume of unconfined aquifers.

Brackish water desalination using reverse osmosis(RO) membrane is more useful and economic than sea water to solve the shortage of fresh water supply because of its low total dissolved solid(TDS) contents. Silica and humic acid in brackish water make serious fouling problems and cause the decline of permeate flux and increase of operating pressure. In this study, the experiments for removal of silica and humic acid were conducted with calcite particles to prevent membrane fouling and investigated the effect of pH of feed water Adsorption of silica to calcite was higher at pH=7.5 than 9.5 and removal rate was increased according to increase of initial concentration of silica. The effect of pH on adsorption of humic acid was not significant but at low initial concentration the adsorption of humic acid was enhanced at pH 7.5. The result of this study expect to apply to brackish water desalination experiment of flat-sheet reverse osmosis membrane.

The groundwater levels at 11 sites and the vertical variations o( the water Quality at 1 site were measured to study the characteristic of the groundwater level fluctuation of Cheju Island. The results of the measurements for the groundwater levels were as follows; In the eastern part, inculding Kimnyong, Jongdal and Sungsan, a sinusoidal fluctuation of groundwater levels occurred in response to oceanic tides. The tidal effect on the groundwater level was reduced depending upon the distance from seashore. But time lag showed that the trend is reversed. However, in the Samyang, Kosan and Shinhyo areas show that the groundwater level was directly influenced by the amount of precipitation. Especially, Shinhyo area which southern part in Cheju was affected the most and show upper parabasal groundwater level. In Susan- I which eastern part in Cheju, well rovealed that water Quality changed with the period of a tide. Salinity at the lim, bellow the natural groundwater level, was approched to the brackish groundwater(1000ppm).

해수에 의해 염분의 영향을 받는 기수호(brackish lake)인 송지호의 퇴적물(sediment), 대수층 충진재(aquifer materials), 지표수, 지하수를 채수 및 채취하여 분석하고, 해당 시료를 이용하여 염분의 영향을 받는 혼합대(hyporheic zone)를 모사하는 pilot scale 컬럼 실험을 진행하였다. 지하수의 상향류 실험 결과, 소량의 염분을 포함한 지하수가 대수층 및 퇴적물로 용승하며 낮은 용존산소 농도를 유지하였다. 또한 대수층에서 염분과 낮은 용존산소로 인해 부분 탈질(partial denitrification)이 발생해 NO₂^-의 축적이 확인되었다. 퇴적물에서는 긴 체류시간에 의해 질소계 화합물이 흡착되거나 미생물 매개의 산화/환원 반응으로 인해 질소계 화합물 농도가 저감되었다. 지표수의 하향류 실험 결과, 높은 농도의 용존산소와 염분을 포함한 기수호의 지표수가 퇴적물과 대수층으로 침투하며 높은 용존산소 농도를 공급하였다. 이로인해 퇴적물과 대수층에서 생물학적 질산화(nitrification)가 발생하였고, 지표수의 높은 염분 농도에도 불구하고 질소계 오염물질이 저감되었다. 이를 통해, 염분의 영향을 받는 상향류의 혼합대의 경우 낮은 용존산소 농도로 부분 탈질이 발생하며 염분에 의해 NO₂^-가 축적되고, 하향류의 혼합대의 경우 높은 용존산소 농도에 의해 질산화가 발생하며 염분의 영향을 크게 받지 않는다. 이를 통해 기수호 내 염분이 혼합대의 질소 거동에 일부 영향을 미치나 DO, pH, 기질 농도, 유기물질 농도 등의 요인이 복합적으로 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다.

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.

In this study, desalination by electrodialysis with ion exchange membranes was applied to synthetic waters with various ion concentrations and also for ground waters from coastal areas in Korea. Electrodialysis performance on the synthetic solutions showed the similar tendency in operation time and current curves, i.e., shorter operation time and higher maximum current with increasing applied voltages. The ED results of synthetic waters with different ion compositions, i.e., $Na_2SO_4$, $MgSO_4$, $CaSO_4$, at the similar conductivity condition, i.e., $1,250{\mu}s/cm$ revealed that effects of mono- and divalent ions on water quality and performance in electrodialysis were different. The divalent ions had less efficiency in the ED compared to monovalent sodium ions and also divalent calcium ions showed better performance than Mg ions. The electrodialysis on the ground waters produced high quality of drinking water. The groundwater from SungRoe however showed a buildup of membrane resistance. Organic matter concentrations and great portions of divalent ions in the groundwater were possible causes of the deteriorated performance.

A photovoltaic powered ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis system was tested with a number of natural groundwaters in Australia. The objective of this study was to compare system performance at six remote field locations by assessing the impact of water composition and fluctuating energy on inorganic contaminant removal using a BW30-4040 membrane. Solar irradiance directly affected pressure and flow. Groundwater characteristics (including TDS, salts, heavy metals, and pH), impacted other performance parameters such as retention, specific energy consumption and flux. During continual system operation, retention of ions such as $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ was high (> 95%) with each groundwater which can be attributed to steric exclusion. The retention of smaller ions such as $NO_3{^-}$ was affected by weather conditions and groundwater composition, as convection/diffusion dominate retention. When solar irradiance was insufficient or fluctuations too great for system operation, performance deteriorated and retention dropped significantly (< 30% at Ti Tree). Groundwater pH affected flux and retention of smaller ions ($NO_3{^-}$ and $F^-$) because charge repulsion increases with pH. The results highlight variations in system performance (ion retention, flux, specific energy consumption) with real solar irradiance, groundwater composition, and pH conditions.

The Songji lagoon is brackish environment with a mixture of saline and fresh water, and the interaction of groundwater-lagoon water creates a physicochemical gradient. Although some studies have been conducted on the hydrological and geochemical characteristics of the Songji lagoon, microbial ecological studies have not yet been conducted. In this study, we investigated the effect of groundwater and surface water interaction on water quality as well as microbial community changes in the Songji Lagoon using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Hydrochemical analyses show that samples were classified as 5 hydrochemical facies (HF) and hydrochemical facies evolution (HFE) revealed the intrusion phase was more dominant (57.9%) than the freshening phase (42.1%). Higher microbial diversity was found in freshwater in comparison to saline water samples. The microbial community at the phylum level shows the most dominance of Proteobacteria with an average of 37.3%, followed by Bacteroidota, Actinobacteria, and Patescibacteria. Heat map analyses of the top 18 genera showed that samples were clustered into 5 groups based on type, and Pseudoalteromonas could be used potential indicator for seawater intrusion.

본 연구에서는 일본 히로시마시 텐마강 하구에 위치한 점토질 갯벌을 대상으로 투수성이 높은 다공질 파일을 설치하여 갯벌 내부에서의 지하수 흐름 형성여부를 확인하고 그에 따른 저질의 성상변화를 조사하였다. 하천의 수위가 변할 때 하천수가 다공질 파일의 하부 및 상부를 통해 공급되면서 갯벌 내부에서 지하수의 흐름이 형성되는 것이 확인되었다. 지하수의 흐름을 통해 다공질 파일내의 DO 농도가 최대 4 mg/L까지 증가하였다. 다공질 파일 내부의 DO 농도의 증가는 저질내의 환원물질과 유기물량을 감소시키는데 효과적이었으며, 지하수의 흐름은 퇴적된 점토질 입자의 재부상을 촉진시키는 것으로 조사되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 점토질 갯벌 내에 다공질 파일을 설치함으로써 점토질 갯벌의 저질 환경을 효과적으로 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

전통적으로 육지로부터 해양으로의 물질 수송은 눈에 보이는 강을 통해서 이루어 진다고 생각했었다. 하지만, 해저 열수 및 대기를 통한 물질 유입도 상당한 부분을 차지한다는 것이 지난 수십 년 동안 밝혀졌다. 최근에는 해저를 통한 지하수 유출이 물질 수송에 있어 강물 못지 않는 중요한 역할을 한다는 것이 밝혀지고 있다. 특히, 한반도 주변에서의 연구 결과, 해저 지하수 유출이 다른 지역에 비해 더 중요한 해양학적 역할을 한다는 것이 밝혀졌으며, 그 몇 가지 예는 다음과 같다. 남해의 여러 내만 해역에서는 연안의 오염된 지하수가 유출되면서, 과잉의 영양염류가 공급되어 적조 등의 생태계 변화에 큰 영향을 미친다. 암석의 공극률이 큰 제주도에서는 해저 지하수의 흐름이 전세계적으로 아주 높은 범주에 속해, 지하수의 오염이 적어도 연안 생태계 및 부영양화에 결정적 역할을 한다. 황해에서는 전 해양으로 유출되는 지하수 및 지하수에 의한 영양염류 유출량이 황해로 흐르는 양자강 등의 큰 강 못지않게 중요한 역할을 한다. 동해는 해양 퇴적물의 투수성이 높고 단층대가 발달해 있어, 여름철 지하수 유출량이 일반 대륙연안에 비해 아주 크다. 한편, 하구둑이 건설되어 있는 낙동강 하구역에서 댐 안쪽 담수와 바깥쪽 해수 사이의 수위차에 의해, 강물의 방류량이 적고 댐의 수위가 높은 경우 해저 지하수의 유출이 훨씬 더 높게 나타났다. 여태까지 밝혀진 자료를 토대로 볼 때, 해저 지하수 유출은 한반도 주변에서 육상 오염물질을 해양으로 수송하는 가장 중요한 통로 중의 하나이며, 갯벌 생태계, 적조, 산호 생태계, 및 연안 오염에 결정적으로 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 해저 지하수 유출을 고려한 연안 오염 부하량 측정, 샨사댐의 영향 예측, 적조 및 부영양화 원인 규명 등의 연안 환경 정책 수립이 시급하다.
