This study restores rainfall measurements taken with the Chugugi (rain gauge) at Wonju, Hamheung, and Haeju from the Deungnok (government records from the Joseon Dynasty). We restored rainfall data corresponding to a total of 9, 13, and 18 years for Wonju, Hamheung, and Haeju, respectively. Based on the restored data, we reconstructed monthly rainfall data. Restoration was most successful for the rainy season months of June, July and August. The restored rainfall data were compared with the summer rainfall data for Seoul as recorded by the Seungjeongwon (Royal Secretariat). In June, the variation in the restored rainfall data was similar to that of the Seungjeongwon data for Seoul. In July and August, however, the variations in the reconstructed data were markedly different from those in the Seoul data (Seungjeongwon). In the case of the worst drought in the summer of 1888, a substantial shortage of rainfall was found in both the Seungjeongwon data for Seoul and the restored data for the three regional locations.

To determine the representative pollution degree of outdoor insulators during the drought season, we should make an investigation on the long-term accumulation characteristics of contaminants. As the contamination mechanism of outdoor insulator is extremely depend on the climatic condition, there is a large difference between the research result of Japanese utilities. So based on the difference of precipitation of the Korea and Japan, we could say that the accumulation characteristics of the countries have a significant difference. But, based on the result of Japan, the accumulation property of contaminants was ignored in KEPCO\`s specification. So, to determine the accumulation characteristics of Korea, we measured the 2 and 3 month ESDD with brush wiping method and make a statistical analysis on measured data. And, from the results, we understood the accumulation characteristics of Korea and the influence of topographical condition on the distribution characteristics of salt contaminants. coast.

근래 환경의 중요성이 크게 인식되면서 하천의 수질관리에 대해서도 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 오염된 하천의 수질을 개선하기 위한 방법 중에 배출 오염원을 삭감시키는 환경기초시설이나 댐과 같은 저수구조물에서 양질의 용수를 방류하여 희석시킴으로써 하천의 수질오염을 개선할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천수질을 개선시키는 과정에서 희석을 위한 저수지의 방류량을 필요유량으로 간주하였으며 일정 수질농도를 지속적으로 지니고 있는 자연하천의 유입량과 이때 어느 대상지점의 목표수질등급을 만족시킬 수 있는 저수구조물에서의 인위적 조정이 가능한 필요유량의 관계를 연구하였다. 연구대상 지역은 금강 본류와 본류로 유입하는 갑천유역을 대상으로 하였다. 즉, 갑천의 확률갈수유량을 3등급과 4등급으로 가정하고, 이들 유량이 금강본류로 유입되련, 금강본류와 미호천합류 바로 전의 금강하류지점 목표수질을 2등급이라 하였을 때, 이를 만족할 수 있는 금강본류의 필요유량을 산정하고자 하였다. 이때 갑천유역의 일강우량자료는 기존 Markov 연쇄의 상태모형을 개선해 모의하였고, 강우-유출 모형으로는 NWS-PC모형을 이용하였는데 컴플렉스 혼합 진화기법으로 매개변수들을 보정하여 확률갈수유량을 산정하였다. 다음에 QUAL2E를 이용하여 목표수질을 만족하는 희석 목적의 유랑을 구하여 필요유량으로 간주하였다. 결과를 살펴보면, 유입되는 갑천의 확률갈수유량들에 대하여 대청조정지댐에서 방류량이 목표수질을 만족시키기 위해서는 $0.5\~2.5$배정도 더 유입되어야 함을 알 수 있었다.

During drought season, the self-purification capacities of the four major rivers in Korea are significantly controlled by environmental maintenance flows supplied from the mid- or upstream large dams. Therefore, it is obviously important to operate the dams considering not only water quantity aspects but also conservation of downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems. Mathematical water quality models can be efficiently used to serve as a decision support tool for evaluating the effects of operational alternatives of upstream dams on the downstream aquatic environment. In this study, an unsteady one-dimensional water quality model, KORIV1-WIN was developed based on the theoretical and numerical algorithms for hydrodynamics and water quality simulations of CE-QUAL-RIV1. It consists of hydrodynamic(KORIV1H) and water quality(KORIV1Q) modules, and pre- and post-processors for input data preparations and output displays. The model can be used to predict one-dimensional hydraulic and water quality variations in rivers with highly unsteady flows such as dam outflow change, rainfall-runoff, and chemical spill events.

Seasonal variation of the population structure and the reproductive pattern of the Korean striped field mouse, Apodemus agrarius, were investigated. High capture ratios in juveniles, young adult, and old adult mice were found during the period from October to November, from November to March, and from May to September, respectively, and extremely low capture ratios of old adults during the period from November to February were characteristic. It seemed that the young adults that survived during the winter might become older by summer and have been counted as the old adults. The breeding in the mice began earlier in males (from mid February or early March to late October) than in females (from mid March to late October), having a peak in August and September, and both the male and female mice weighing more than 20 g generally reached sexual maturation in general. In the breeding season, both young and old adult males had large testes with enlarged seminiferous tubules filled with numerous germ and Sertoli cells, and expanded caudal epididymides with a vast number of spermatozoa; the females had many Graafian follicles and corpora lutea in large ovaries, and developed uterine glands in the thick endometria. The lower ratios of the testis weight to the body weight in July and August in 1994 compared to 1995 seemed due to the extreme drought and considerably higher temperature in 1994, but the decrease in the ratio in mid-summer, only in the old mice, in both years might be explained partially by aging.

Forest area covers 64 % of the national land of Korea and the forest plays a pivotal role in the hydrological process such as flood, drought, runoff, infiltration, evapotranspiration, etc. In this study, soil moisture monitoring for conifer forest in experimental forest of Seoul National University has been conducted using FDR (Frequency Domain Reflection) for 6 different soil layers, 10, 20, 30, 60, 90 and 120 cm during 2009~2010, and precipitation data was collected from nearby AWS (Automatic Weather Station). Soil moisture monitoring data were used to estimate soil moisture recession constant (SMRC) for analyzing soil moisture recession characteristics. From the results, empirical soil moisture recession equations were estimated and validated to determine the feasibility of the result, and soil moisture contents of measured and calculated showed a similar tendency from April to November. Thus, the results can be applied for soil moisture estimation and provided the basic knowledge in forest soil moisture consumption. Nevertheless, this approach demonstrated applicability limitations during winter and early spring season due to freezing and melting of snow and ice causing peculiar change of soil moisture contents.

그 동안 우리나라 수자원 관리의 주요 목적은 치수관리에 치중되어 있었으며, 이로 인하여 하상계수가 낮아지고 유황도 개선되어 도시 지역에서의 홍수발생은 거의 일어나지 않고 있다. 그러나 최근들어 급격한 산업화와 도시의 발달로 인하여 용수수요가 급증하여, 지속적이고 안정적인 용수공급이 한계를 나타내고 있으며, 또한 수질 악화 등과 같이 환경 문제 역시 발생하고 있다. 따라서, 수자원의 관리를 위하여 갈수기의 유출 특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요한 요소가 되었고, 이와 같은 문제들을 해결하기 위하여 갈수량의 조사는 필수적이다. 본 연구의 목적은 갈수량의 유출 특성을 파악하기 위해 2008년 금강 수계 수위관측소 지점에 대하여 유량측정을 수행하고, 측정된 성과를 기존 수위-유량관계곡선식에 적용하여 시계열 유량 자료를 획득하는데 문제가 없는지를 검토하였으며, 하천 지형 특성의 변화 및 수위 시계열의 변화 등을 파악하여 안정적인 갈수량 자료를 생산하는데 문제가 없는지 검토하였다. 금강 본류 및 1, 2차 하천의 41개 지점에 대하여 갈수량을 조사한 결과 안정적인 유량자료를 생산하는 지점은 9개소로 전체 중에 약 22%를 차지하고 있으며, 기존 수위-유량관계곡선식과 실측값 간에 오차가 발생하는 지점은 14개소로 전체 34%를 차지하고 있다. 또한 저수위 곡선식이 개발되지 않아 유량자료를 생산하지 못하는 지점이 18개소로 전체 약 44%를 차지하고 있는 것을 알 수 있다.

Zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.), also called Korean or Japanese lawngrass, is the most popular warm-season turfgrass in Korea and is widely used for home lawns, parks, roadsides, golf courses and athletic fields. Its use is rapidly expanding in Korea and the other countries, due to its excellent characteristics which include tolerance to heat, drought and salinity. As the utilization area of this turfgrass increases, there is an increase in the demand for improved cultivars with disease and insect tolerance or with herbicide-tolerance or with extended greening periods. Conventional breeding methods have been used to improve the traits described above with limited success. However, with the advances in biotechnology, genetic transformation can be utilized for turfgrass improvement. In this paper, we review recent progress in biotechnological improvement of zoysiagrass and discuss future molecular breeding of this species.

Hydroseeding technique is a very popular method of revegetating slope areas through the control of soil erosion and stability by seeding grasses. This study was conducted to select turfgrass species and cultivars for hydroseeding. Experiment plots were established on various soil types and environmental conditions at Singar-Ansan high-way construction site. The investigation was designed in three cutting, one back-filling and other three spare sites with various seed mixtures. Results indicated that combinations of seed mixtures influenced seed germination and rates of surface cover. In a view of long term, vegetation shifts should be influenced by characters of slopes and micro-climate conditions. Hydroseeding did not show good results on rocky slope areas. Revegetation was only going on where there had soil. The combination of seed mixture with a higher rate of perennial ryegrass had relatively good revegetation with faster germination and seedling growth. Improved turf-type tall fescue Arid ⓡ and Falcon ⓡ seemed to have good environ-mental adaptation and drought tolerance. Wild or old type cultivars showed relatively slow green-up in spring and growth rates at the next year of seeding. For the harmonious landscaping with surrounding area, the combination of native grass mixture with cool-season grasses had good results. Slow and low revegetation rate at hack-filling site seemed to be caused by the poor development of capillary tubes in sub-soil. It was shown that a high correlation between seed germination and revegetation rate, and between three-month later coverage rate and final rate. The evaluation of coverage rate after three month seems to he acceptable to decide the accomplishment of hydroseeding results on rode side slopes.

Sorghum is the fifth most important cereal worldwide, spreading from Africa throughout the world. It is particularly important in the semi-arid tropics due to its drought tolerance, and when cultivated in Southeast Asia commonly occurs as a second crop during the dry season. We recovered Fusarium from sorghum in Thailand and found F. proliferatum, F. thapsinum and F. verticillioides most frequently, and intermittent isolates of F. sacchari and F. beomiforme. The relatively high frequencies of F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides, suggest mycotoxin contamination, particularly fumonisins and moniliformin, should be evaluated. Genetic variation within the three commonly recovered species was characterized with vegetative compatibility, mating type, Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms (AFLPs), and female fertility. Effective population number ($N_e$) was highest for F. verticillioides and lowest for F. thapsinum with values based on mating type allele frequencies higher than those based on female fertility. Based on AFLP genetic variation, the F. thapsinum populations were the most closely related, the F. verticillioides populations were the most distantly related, and the F. proliferatum populations were in an intermediate position. The genetic variation observed could result if F. thapsinum is introduced primarily with seed, while F. proliferatum and F. verticillioides could arrive with seed or be carried over from previous crops, e.g., rice or maize, which sorghum is following. Confirmation of species transmission patterns is needed to understand the agricultural systems in which sorghum is grown in Southeast Asia, which are quite different from the systems found in Africa, Australia, India and the Americas.
