To understand the geochemical processes controlling the distribution of nitrate and other agricultural constituents in an alluvial aquifer, hydrogeological and hydro geochemical studies were carried out in an agricultural area within Cheonan. In this selected field, nitrate concentrations were very wide in range but was locally attenuated significantly down to very low levels (<1.0 mg/L). Abrupt removal of nitrate coincided with the pattern of redox change and thus indicated that geochemical processes occurring during and after recharge events control the behavior and distribution of nitrate and other redox-sensitive chemical species.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of vanadium in Jeju Island groundwater, focusing on the spatio-temporal patterns and geochemical controlling factors of vanadium. For this, we collected two sets of groundwater data: 1) concentrations of major constituents of 2,595 groundwater samples between 2008 and 2014 and 2) 258 groundwater samples between December 2006 and June 2008. The concentrations of groundwater vanadium were in the range of $0.2{\sim}71.0{\mu}g/L$ (average, $12.0{\mu}g/L$) and showed local enrichments without temporal/seasonal variation. This indicated that vanadium distribution was controlled by 1) the geochemical/mineralogical composition and dissolution processes of original materials (i.e., volcanic rock) and 2) the flow and chemical properties of groundwater. Vanadium concentration was significantly positively correlated with that of major ions ($Cl^-$, $Na^+$, and $K^+$) and trace metals (As, Cr, and Al), and with pH, but was negatively correlated with $NO_3-N$ concentration. The high concentrations of vanadium (>$15{\mu}g/L$) occurred in typically alkaline groundwater with high pH (${\geq}8.0$), indicating that a higher degree of water-rock interaction resulted in vanadium enrichment. Thus, higher concentrations of vanadium occurred in groundwater of $Na-Ca-HCO_3$, $Na-Mg-HCO_3$ and $Na-HCO_3$ types and were remarkably lower in groundwater of $Na-Ca-NO_3$(Cl) type that represented the influences from anthropogenic pollution.

We measured the salinity, pH, and concentrations of $^{222}Rn$ and nutrients in groundwater in the southeastern coastal aquifer off Busan from March to September 2005 to evaluate its submarine discharge and geochemical characteristics. Salinity in coastal groundwater increased sharply at 20 m depth and exceeded 25 ppt below 40 m during the study period, indicating that a strong transition zone between fresh groundwater and seawater developed between 20 and 40 m depths. Fresh groundwater in the upper layer of this transition zone was characterized by high pH, $^{222}Rn$, dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) and low dissolved inorganic silicate (DSi) relative to seawater in the lower layer. In addition, the vertical profiles of the $^{222}Rn$, DIN, and DIP concentrations imply that a strong advective groundwater flow occurs along the interface of fresh groundwater and seawater near 20 m depth. The geochemical constituents in coastal groundwater also showed strong seasonal variation, with the highest concentrations in summer (June 2005) due to the changes of groundwater recharge and sea level. This implies that the input of terrestrial chemical species into the coastal ocean through submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) could change seasonally. To ascertain the seasonal variation of SGD and SGD-driven chemical species fluxes, and associated ecological responses in the coastal ocean, more extensive studies are necessary using various SGD tracers or seepage meters in the future.

해안지역의 염수침입은 지하수내 다양한 지화학 성분들에 의해서 탐지될 수 있다. 그러나 불충분한 지하수 자료는 염수침입의 인지를 어렵게 한다. 확률밀도함수는 제한된 수질자료를 이용하여 더 넓은 범위의 확률적 예측이 가능하며 특성화된 확률밀도 분포 도출을 통하여 해안지역의 염수침입을 효과적으로 판단할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 부산시의 해안지역 지하수, 해안유출수, 하천수의 화학성분에 대해서 확률통계기법을 적용함으로써 염수침입을 평가하였다. 이 연구에 의해서, 해수 중에 농도가 높은 항목인 Na⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻ 은 염수의 영향유무 판별의 유용한 지시자인 것으로 판명된다. 한편, 지하수, 해안유출수 및 하천수에서 유사한 확률분포형태를 보이는 항목인 Si⁴⁺, Fe²⁺, NO₃⁻, PO₄³⁻은 염수영향에 대한 지시자로서 적당하지 않은 것으로 판단된다.

The volcanic type of geothermal water is linked intimately to active or potentially active volcanoes and takes place near the plate boundaries. In contrast to the volcanic type, the geothermal water in Korea has a non-volcanic origin. Korea's geothermal water is classified into the residual magma (RM) type and deep groundwater (DG) type according to the criterion of $35^{\circ}C$. This study reviewed the relationship between the physical and chemical features of the 281 geothermal water sources in South Korea in terms of the specific capacity, water temperature, and chemical compositions of two different basements (igneous rock and metamorphic rock) as well as the geological structures. According to the spatial relationship between the geothermal holes and geological faults, the length of the major fault is considered a key parameter determining the movement to a deeper place and the temperature of geothermal water. A negligible relationship between the specific capacity (Q/s) and temperature was found for both the RM type and DG type with the greater specific capacities of the RM- and DG-igneous types than the RM- and DG-metamorphic types. No relationship was observed between Q/s and the chemical constituents ($K^+$, $Na^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Cl^-$, $SO_4{^{2-}}$, $HCO_3{^-}$, and $SiO_2$) in the DG-igneous and DG-metamorphic types. Furthermore, weak relationship between temperature and chemical constituents was found for both the RM type and DG type.

Two-dimensional modeling studies using TOUGHREACT were conducted to investigate the coupling between flow and transport developed as a consequence of differences in density, dissolution/ precipitation, and medium heterogeneity. The model includes equilibrium reactions for aqueous species, kinetic reactions between tile solid phases and aqueous constituents, and full coupling of porosity and permeability changes resulting from precipitation and dissolution reactions in porous media. Generally, the evolutions in the concentrations of the aqueous phase are intimately related to the reaction-front dynamics. Plugging of the medium contributed to significant transients in patterns of flow and mass transport.

In recent years, the sales of bottled spring water (BSW) have been drastically increasing in Korea and other countries, which accompanied great interests in conservation and reclamation of natural mineral water (NMW). In this study, management and research activities on NMW in Europe, USA, and Codex Alimentarius were reviewed. In each region, NMW is regulated with its own quality standards that differ from ordinary drinking water, and management actions are strictly implemented to protect water resources and to secure quality of NMW. Many studies on NMW were carried out for monitoring inorganic constituents including major and trace elements in national levels for bottled NMW, groundwater, and tap water in other countries. In Korea, NMW became commercialized in 1995 when BSW was legally approved as a drinking water. To further promote utilization of various types of NMW in Korea, regulations and policies for NMW need to be revised in accordance with international NMW management trends. Further, studies of NMW that compile a comprehensive set of physical and chemical parameters of NMW are also needed to properly understand occurrences, hydrogeological and geochemical processes of NMW, as well as to evaluate its potential use as a natural resource.

방사성폐기물의 지하심부 처분을 위한 수리지구화학적 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 국내 화강암질암을 대수층으로 하는 지표수 및 지하수를 대상으로 시료채취와 문헌조사를 통하여 dataset을 구축하였다. 심도에 따른 용존물질의 절대 및 상대함량과 거동특성을 통계적으로 파악하고 지하수의 화학적 조성의 원인이 되는 물-암석반응을 열역학적 해석과 결부하여 규명하였다. 화강암질암 대수층에서 총용존물질량은 심도에 따라 통계적으로 유의하게 증가함으로써 심부로 갈수록 물-암석반응을 많이 거친 물이 존재함을 나타낸다. 지하수의 조성은 초기의 $Ca^{2＋}$－(C $l^{－}$＋S $O_4$$^{2－}$ ) 또는 $Ca^{2＋}$-HC $O_3$$^{－}$ 유형에서 시작하여 점차 $Ca^{2＋}$-HC $O_3$$^{－}$ 유형을 거친 후 최종적으로 $Na^{＋}$-HC $O_3$$^{－}$ 또는 $Na^{＋}$－(C $l^{－}$＋S $O_4$$^{2－}$ ) 유형으로 진화하는 경향을 보인다. 이러한 특징은 $Ca^{2＋}$, $Na^{+}$ , $SiO_2$(aq)가 대표하는 다음의 세 가지 기제에 의하여 설명이 가능하다. 1) 천부지하수의 화학조성을 조절하는 가장 주된 반응은 방해석의 용해이나 중간지하수를 거치면서 방해석 포화상태에 이르러 광물상으로 침전되며 심부지하수에서는 $Ca^{2＋}$의 함량이 감소한다. 2) 심부지하수에서는 사장석의 용해가 주도적인 반응으로 작용하며 $Na^{＋}$를 공급하므로써 함량을 증가시킨다. 3) 중간 및 심부지하수에서는 kaolinite-smectite 또는/그리고 kaolinite-illite 간의 반응이 평형에 도달함으로써 용존 $SiO_2$(aq) 함량을 유지시키며 또한 이들 반응은 심부지하수에서 $Mg^{2＋}$ 및 $K^{＋}$가 결핍되는 현상의 중요한 원인이 된다.

The metasedimentary rocks together with various granitoids are the main constituents in Taebaeksan gneiss complex, northern Yeongnam Massif. Chemical compositions of sedimentary rocks may reflect the nature of the provenance and could be crucial for understanding the evolution of early continental crust. Previous workers have suggested that the provenance and tectonic studies based on the geochemistry of sediments are applicable to the Precambrian samples. In this study we analyzed the major, trace and REE elements of metasedimentary rocks to understand their provenance and tectonic setting during sedimentation. The overall geochemical characteristics of metasedimentary rocks are similar to those of average shale of the post-Archean. Major element chemistry indicates mature and sorted nature of the sediments. The degree of weathering in the source rocks the is not uniform, as inferred from a large scatter in chemical indices of weathering (CIW). The immobile trace elements such as Th, Sc, and REE can be used to discriminate various sedimentary processes. The Th/sc ratios (0.9 - 4.4) are larger than those of the upper crust and average shale, suggesting that the felsic source predominates. The contents of Ni and Cr and the variations in the ratio of compatible to incompatible elements are similar to the average post-Archean shale. Uniform chondrite-normalized REE pattern with the LREE enrichment (LaN/SmN = 4.9 ${\pm}$ 0.4) and slight negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu$\^$*/ = 0.7 ${\pm}$ 0.1) also support this observation. The presence of negative Eu anomaly indicates that intracrustal igneous processes involving plagioclase separation have affected the provenance rocks. The LREE enrichment implies the major role of felsic rocks in source rocks. The eNd (1.9 Ga) values of metasediment rocks vary from 9.4 to 6.7, corresponding to TDM of 2.9 - 2.7 Ga. On the other hand, the 147Sm/144Nd ratios are 0.1079 - 0.1101, corresponding to typical tettigenous sediments. The geochemical features of metasedimentary rocks such as high abundances of large ion lithophile elements, high ratios of Th/Sc and La/Sm, commonly high Th/U ratios, negative Eu anomalies, and negative eNd, suggest a provenance consisting virtually entirely of recycled upper continental crust in passive margin environment. Tectonic discrimination diagrams based upon major element compositions also support this suggestion. In conjunction with igneous activity and metamorphism in the convergent margin setting at 1.8 - 1. 9 Ga, the transition from passive margin to active margin characterize the Paleoproterozoic crustal evolution in northern Yeongnam Massif.

Al, Ag, Au, Cu, Cd, Co, Fe, Ni, Ph, Zn 등과 밀접한 금속은 일반적인 원소이며, 지속적인 오염물질에 속한다. 금속은 생명체의 생리활동에 필수원소인 경우도 있으나 경우도 있으나 그 중의 일부는 정해진 한계값을 초과할 때에는 독성을 가진다. 자연수 중의 미량금속 측정은 정확도와 정밀도에 있어서 큰 오차를 가지고 있음이 장기간 인식되어 왔다. 미국과 유럽에서는 1975 년 이후 미량금속의 해수 중 농도가 과거에 인지된 농도보다 $1/10{\sim}1/1,000$ 정도 낮아졌으며, 수직 분포는 알려진 생물, 물리, 지화학적인 과정들과 일치하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 이와 같은 결과는 대부분 미량원소에 대한 분석방법과 기기의 발전에 기인하며, 시료 채취, 보관 및 분석 과정에 발생할 수 있는 오염을 제거해야 하는 세심한 주의 요구되어 진다.
