Internal erosion around pipes can lead to the failure of earth dams through various mechanisms. This study investigates the displacement patterns in earth dam models under three different failure modes due to internal erosion, using digital image correlation (DIC) methods. Three failure modes—erosion along a pipe (FM1), pipe leakage leading to soil erosion (FM2), and erosion in a pipe due to defects (FM3)—are analyzed using two- and three-dimensional image- processing techniques. The internal displacement of the cross-sectional area and the surface displacement of the downstream slope in the dam models are monitored using an image acquisition system. Physical model tests reveal that FM1 exhibits significant displacement on the upper surface of the downstream slope, FM2 shows focused displacement around the pipe defect, and FM3 demonstrates increased displacement on the upstream slope. The variations in internal and surface displacements with time depend on the segmented area and failure mode. Analyzing the relationships between internal and surface displacements using Pearson correlation coefficients reveals various displacement patterns for the segmented areas and failure modes. Therefore, the image-based characterization methods presented in this study may be useful for analyzing the displacement distribution and behavior of earth dams around pipes, and further, for understanding and predicting their failure mechanisms.

The water circulation in agricultural watersheds changes with the operation of agricultural reservoirs, it is necessary to classify and evaluate them into upstream, agricultural reservoirs, irrigation districts, and downstream. Therefore, in this study, we developed the agricultural water circulation rate (AWCR) considering an agricultural reservoir and irrigation district by improving the water circulation rate of the Water environmental conservation Act. we applied it to Jinwi watershed using the module-based hydrologic analysis system to simulate the water circulation for agricultural reservoirs and irrigation areas. The model performance during the validation period was NSE of 0.762 for the downstream stream and 0.682 for the reservoir level. And the hydrograph separation model was applied to separate the direct and baseflow. As a result of this study, The AWCR of Jinwi watershed was 71.8% on average, which was higher than the water circulation rate estimated by the downstream hydrograph separation.

Grain size, the content of ignition loss (IL), and the concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), acid volatile sulfide (AVS), and trace metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, As, and Hg) in surface sediments from the Taehwa River estuary, Ulsan, were measured to evaluate pollution levels and potential ecological risks of organic matter and trace metals in estuarine sediment. The mean grain size (Mz) of sediments in the study region ranged from $-0.8-7.7{\varphi}$ (mean $2.8{\pm}2.4{\varphi}$). Surface sediments in the upstream region of the Taehwa River were mainly composed of coarse sediments compared to the downstream region. The concentrations of IL, COD, AVS and trace metals in the sediment were much higher at downstream sites of Myeongchon Bridge in the vicinity of industrial complexes than at upstream sites of those in the vicinity of the residential areas due to the anthropogenic input of organic matter and trace metals by industrial activities. On the basis of several geochemical assessment techniques [sediment quality guidelines (SQGs), enrichment factor (EF), geoaccumulation index ($I_{geo}$), pollution load index (PLI) and ecological risk index (ERI)], the surfaces sediments in the study region are not highly polluted for trace metals, except for As. However, the higher concentrations in downstream study regions of the Taehwa River could impact benthic organisms including shellfish (i.e. Manila clam) in sediments.

이 연구는 낙동강 수계 지역을 배경으로 한 현대시에 재현된 지리적 이미지를 시대적 상황, 지리적 하위영역, 공간적 배경을 중심으로 고찰한 것이다. 이들 시들은 일제강점기의 강제적 인구이동, 해방 후의 경제적 빈곤, 한국전쟁으로 인해 피폐화된 국토, 경제개발, 환경문제와 생태시, 장소감 등 시대적 이미지를 잘 형상화하고 있다. 뿐만 아니라, 이들 시는 장소감을 통해 인문지리적 이미지를 비롯하여, 지형과 기후라는 자연지리적 이미지, 그리고 경제개발과 환경오염 이미지를 잘 드러내고 있다. 공간적 배경을 통해 볼 때 낙동강 상류 지역을 대상으로 하는 시는 황지를 비롯하여 안동 지역의 아름다운 지형이나 개인의 장소감을 노래한 시가 많은 부분을 차지한다. 이에 비해 중 하류 지역과 관련하여서는 현실을 반영한 사회비판적인 시가 많다. 이것은 낙동강 상류 지역에 비해 중류나 하류 지역에 대도시와 산업지역이 다수 분포해 있고, 강이라는 지형이 하류 쪽으로 갈수록 오염도가 심화되기 때문일 것이다. 이처럼 낙동강을 배경으로 한 시는 시대적 상황, 지리공간적 이미지를 잘 보여주고 있다.

The contamination of chlorinated ethenes at an industrial complex, Wonju, Korea, was examined based on sixteen rounds of groundwater quality data collected from 2009 to 2013. Remediation technologies such as soil vapor extraction, soil flushing, biostimulation, and pumping-and-treatment have been applied to eliminate the contaminant sources of trichloroethylene (TCE) and to prevent the migration of TCE plume from remediation target zones. At each remediation target zone, temporal monitoring data before and after the application of remediation techniques showed that the aqueous concentrations of TCE plume present at and around the main source areas decreased significantly as a result of remediation technologies. However, the TCE concentration of the plumes at the downstream area remained unchanged in response to the remediation action, but it showed a great fluctuation according to seasonal recharge variation during the monitoring period. Therefore, variations in the contaminant flux across three transects were analyzed. Prior to the remediation action, the concentration and mass discharges of TCE at the transects were affected by seasonal recharge variation and residual DNAPLs sources. After the remediation, the effect of remediation took place clearly at the transects. By tracing a time-series of plume evolution, a greater variation in the TCE concentrations was detected at the plumes near the source zones compared to the relatively stable plumes in the downstream. The difference in the temporal profiles of TCE concentrations between the plumes in the source zone and those in the downstream could have resulted from remedial actions taken at the source zones. This study demonstrates that long term monitoring data are useful in assessing the effectiveness of remediation practices.

In this study, the influence of a change in land use on the local weather fields is investigated around the Lake Shihwa area using synthetic land cover data and a high-resolution mesoscale model - the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF). The default land cover data generally used in the WRF is based on the land use category of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), which erroneously presents most land areas of the Korean Peninsula as savannas. To revise such a fault, a multi-temporal land cover data, provided by the Ministry of Environment of Korea, was employed to generate a land cover map of 2005 subject to the land use in Korea at that time. A new land cover map of 1989, before the construction of the Lake Shihwa, was made based on the 2005 map and the Landsat 4-5 TM satellite images of two years. Over the areas where the land use had been changed (e.g., from sea to wetlands, towns, etc.) due to the Lake Shihwa development project, the skin temperature decreased by up to $8^{\circ}C$ in the winter case while increased by as much as $14^{\circ}C$ in the summer case. Changes in the water vapor mixing ratio were mostly affected by advection and topography in both seasons, with considerable increase in the summer case due to continuous sea breeze. Local decrease in water vapor occurred over high land use change areas and/or over downstream of such areas where alteration in wind fields were induced by changes in skin temperature and surface roughness at the areas of land use changes. The albedo increased by about 0.1% in the regions where sea was converted into wetland. In the regions where urban areas were developed, such as Songdo New Town and Incheon International Airport, the albedo increased by up to 0.16%.

Mine waters, surface waters and groundwaters were sampled around seven Au-Ag mine areas (Dongil, Okdong, Dongjung, Songcheon, Ssangjeon, Dogok and Gubong Au-Ag mines). The main contamination sources of As in these abandoned Au-Ag mines can be suggested as mine tailings and waste rocks including the sulfide gangue minerals (arsenopyrite). The relatively high concentration of As in mine waters was shown in the Dongil (524 ${\mu}g/L$) and the Dogok (56 ${\mu}g/L$) mine areas. Arsenic concentrations in stream waters from the Dongil ($0.9\~118{\mu}g/L$), the Songchon ($0.8\~63{\mu}g/L$), the Ssangjeon ($1.6\~109{\mu}g/L$) and the Gubong ($3.6\~63{\mu}g/L$) mine areas exceeded the permissible level for stream water in Korea. Groundwaters collected from the Dongil ($0.9\~64{\mu}g/L$ ), the Okdong ($0.2\~69{\mu}g/L$) and the Gubong ($0.5\~101{\mu}g/L$) mine areas contained high As concentration to cause the arsenicosis in these areas. In As speciation, the concentration ratios of As(III) to As(total) present up to $75\%$ and $100\%$ in stream waters from the Okdong and the Songcheon mines, and $70\%$ in groundwaters from the Okdong and the Dongjung mines. Arsenic concentration decreases downstream from the tailing dump correlatively with pH and Fe concentration. Highly elevated As concentrations are found in the dry season (such as April and March) than in the wet season (September) due to the dilution effect by heavy rain during summer in stream waters from the Dongil and the Songcheon mine areas.

우리나라의 상당수의 도시지역에서 급격한 도시화로 인한 불투수면의 증가와 노후화된 하수관망으로 집중강우 시 상습적인 침수피해가 반복되고 있다. 그러나 하류지역의 하수관 크기를 확장하거나, 펌프장을 추가하는 등 배수계통의 수용량을 늘리는 기존의 중앙집중식 우수관리체계는 유역 전반에 걸쳐 일어난 도시화와 기후변화로 인한 강수량의 증가로 인한 지표유출수 문제를 근본적으로 개선하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 도시홍수 요인에 대응하는 지속가능한 우수관리방식으로 기존의 배수체계를 유지하면서 지표유출수를 최소화하고 지표면의 저류효과를 극대화하는 분산식 우수관리체계의 필요성이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 최근 침수피해가 가중되고 있는 상습침수지역에 분산식 우수관리체계를 적용하는 것을 목적으로, 대상지의 조건에 적합한 다양한 우수유출저감기법을 활용하여 상류 중류 하류에 걸쳐 조성되는 우수관리통로(Stormwater Managemnt Corridor)를 제안하였다. 연구방법으로는 수정합리식(Modified Rational Method)을 이용하여 대상지 유역 전반의 지표유출수의 발생패턴을 정량적으로 도출하였고, 연구대상지인 동두천시의 중앙동 및 생연동 지역의 지형 및 토지피복, 토양의 자연적 특성과 수계를 분석하여 유역별 특성에 따라 6가지 유형의 설계전략을 적용하였다. 연구결과는 배치도와 단면도, 상세설계도로 제시하였고, 설계안을 통해 저류가 가능한 지표유출수량을 도출함으로써 설계의 예상효과를 검증하였다. 본 연구를 통해 주로 토목적인 측면에서 계획되어왔던 우수관리체계를 조경적 관점에서 계획, 설계, 검증함으로써 도시의 그린 인프라스트럭쳐로서의 오픈스페이스의 기능적 가치를 제고하고, 상습침수지역의 지속가능한 계획과 관리에 기여하고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 수공구조물 하류에서의 하천흐름 특성을 3차원 수치모형인 Delft3D 모형을 이용하여 분석하고, 하천흐름 특성을 분석한 결과를 기반으로 홍수시에 어류의 피난처를 예측하였다. 수공구조물은 통수단면적을 변화시키고 유속과 수심을 변화시켜서 어류활동에 영향을 준다. 대상유역인 구미보 직하류에서는 흐름의 중심이 되는 저수로가 좌안으로 집중되면서 우안에서 수심이 낮고, 유속이 느리게 나타나서 어류의 피난처 형성은 우안을 중심으로 발생하였다. 어류의 활동범위를 분석하기 위해 수직방향 유속을 비교한 결과, 30년 빈도와 50년 빈도 경우 우안에서 최대 0.0043 m/s, 0.0052 m/s로 나타났고, 80년 빈도와 100년 빈도는 좌안에서 최대 0.0046 m/s, 0.0039 m/s로 나타났다. 또한 유량이 증가함에 따라 수심이 깊어지고 난류에너지가 상승하여 어류의 피난처가 감소되었다. 30년 빈도 홍수량와 100년 빈도 홍수량에 대하여 어류의 피난처를 비교하면 우안에 형성되는 어류의 피난처 예상 면적이 61.5%에서 39.0%으로 감소하였다.

Several metalliferous and coal mines, including Seojin and Okdong located at the Kangwon province, were abandoned or closed since 1989 due to the mining industry promotion policy and thus disposed an enormous amount of mining wastes without a proper treatment facilities, resulting in water and soil pollution in the downstream areas. However, no quantitative assessment was made on soil and water pollution by the transport of mining wastes such as acid mine drainage, mine tailing, and rocky waste. In this research, total and fractional concentrations of heavy metals in mining wastes were analyzed and accordingly the degree of water and soil pollutions in the stream area were quantitatively assessed employing the several pollution indices. Concentrations of Ni, Cd, and Pb in soils near the abandoned coal mine areas were 1,240.0, 25.0 and 1,093.0 mg/kg, respectively, and these concentrations were higher than those in soils near the closed metalliferous mine areas. Also Cu concentrations in soils near the tailing dams were about 1967 mg/kg, which is considered as very polluted level. Results demonstrated that soil at the abandoned mine areas were highly contaminated by AMO, tailing, and effluents of the mining wastes. Therefore, a prompt countermeasure on the mining waste treatment and remediation of the codntaminated water and soil should be made to the abandoned or closed metalliferous and coal mines located at the abandoned mine area.
