비점오염원에 의한 수질오염은 지표수 오염과 지하수 오염으로 분리될 수 있는데 보통 지하수는 지표수에 비하여 수질이 양호 하다고 여겨지만 오염된 하천 주위의 지하수 오염이 심각할 수 있다. 이러한 지하수에 의한 오염원을 산정하고 분석하기 위해 여러 가지 수문관련 공식이나, HSPF, MODFLOW, SWAT 모형 등이 사용되고 있는데 이 중, SWAT 모형은 다양한 작물 및 재배방법이 지표수 및 지하수 수질에 미치는 영향을 유역단위로 평가가 가능하여 국내 외 에서 널리 활용되고 있다. SWAT 모형은 소유역별 수문학적 반응단위인 HRU를 이용하여 유역 내 수문 및 수질을 평가하는데 소유역내 HRU의 공간적인 정보를 고려하지 않는 준 분포형 모형으로 다양한 영농방법이 지표수 및 지하수에 미치는 영향을 공간적으로 분석 하는데는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 SWAT 모형의 단점을 개선하여 공간적으로 분석할 수 있는 SWAT HRU Mapping module을 개발하였고 강원도 평창군 대관령면 횡계2리 지역에 적용하여 지하수 함양량 및 대수층 유입 $NO_3$-N 부하량 및 농도를 분석하였다. 적용결과, 횡계2리 유역의 2006년 대수층 유입 $NO_3$-N 부하량 및 농도를 비교하면 일반적으로 농경지에서의 대수층 유입 $NO_3$-N 부하량이 큰 것으로 나타났고, 대부분 농경지에서 대수층으로 유입되는 $NO_3$-N의 농도가 산림에 비해서 상당히 높은 것으로 분석되었으며 2007년의 결과도 비슷한 경향이 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과에서와 같이 같은 밭이라 하더라도 재배되는 작물의 종류 및 시비량 등에 따라 대수층으로 유입되는 오염부하에는 상당한 영향이 있을 수 있으며, 또한 재배 작물과 토양 특성에 따라 $NO_3$-N이 대수층으로 유입될 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 연구에서 개발된 HRU Mapping Module은 유역에서의 수질 개선시기저유출을 통한 오염원의 시공간적 분석을 하는데 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Groundwater development as a means of acquiring subsidiary water resource is very important for the persistent security of water resource. Nowadays, pneumatic fracturing technology which was developed in the advanced countries is applied for increasing pumping rate and eliminating contaminants. This study gives an experimental data to clarify permeability characteristics of the single discontinuity which is newly developed or increased in aperture by the pneumatic fracturing or damage propagation of the natural barrier for the nuclear waste disposal. On the basis of understanding the relationship between permeability and hydraulic aperture the result could apply as one of the basic data for researches concerned with increasing pumping rate and eliminating contaminants. Hydraulic aperture is decreased exponentially with increasing confining pressure and proportioned to permeability in the same confining pressure. Especially, with the increasing aperture permeability of coarse- and medium- grained granite shows the more rapid increasing than that of fine- grained granite.

An integrated model for groundwater flow and radionuclide transport analyses is being developed incorporating six underground silos, an excavated damaged zone (EDZ), and fractured host rock. The model considers each silo as an engineered barrier system (EBS) consisting of a waste zone comprising waste packages and disposal container, a buffer zone, and a concrete lining zone. The EDZ is the disturbed zone adjacent to silos and construction & operation tunnels. The heterogeneity of the fractured rock is represented by a heterogeneous flow field, evaluated from discrete fractures in the fractured host rock. Radionuclide migration through the EBS in silos and the fractured host rock is simulated on the established heterogeneous flow field. The current model enables the optimization of silo design and the quantification of the safety margin in terms of radionuclide release.

The various environmental issues arose with the development of today's economy. naturally, people were increased interest in environment and the importance of research on drinking water and contamination are emerging especially. A number of country areas, uranium and ²²²Rn in ground water have been detected to people using as drinking water. So this study evaluated the way for more accurate measurements than when measuring ²²²Rn concentrations in the ground water containing. the experiment was performed using the low-level liquid scintillation counter with an alpha, beta analysis easy PSA function of pulse. the scintillator as the preparation of the ground water samples are mixed, the measure value detection is lowered over prepare period and expiration date. Energy spectrum was also moved to a lower side channel. As a long time to buy the scintillator and over time after opening, it was confirmed that detection is lowered. if the purpose is to use a different scintillator can see the energy through the channel change.

Human Sapovirus (HuSaV) is one of the major causes of acute gastroenteritis in humans, and it is used as a molecular diagnostic technique based on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from humans, food, shellfish, and aquatic environments. In this study, the HuSaV diagnosis technique was used in an aquatic environment where a number of PCR inhibitors are included and pathogens, such as viruses, are estimated to exist at low concentration levels. HuSaV-specific primers are improved to detect 38 strains registered in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The established optimal condition and the composition, including the RT-nested PCR primers and SL® Non-specific reaction inhibitor, were found to have 100 times higher sensitivity based on HuSaV plasmid than the previously reported methods (100 ag based on HuSaV plasmid 1 ng/μL). Through an artificial infection test, the developed method was able to detect at least 1 fg/μL of HuSaV plasmid contaminated with total nucleic acid extracted from groundwater. In addition, RT-nested PCR primer sets for HuSaV detection can react, and a positive control is developed to verify false positives. This study is expected to be used as a HuSaV monitoring method in the future and applied to the safety response to HuSaV from water environments.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the economic benefit of improving ground water quality in Jeju Island, where groundwater pollution has recently become a social issue and various water quality improvement projects are being promoted. By applying the contingent valuation method, an online survey was conducted on Jeju Island residents to analyze the response data of 542 respondents and estimate the mean willingness to pay using 16 models. The estimation of the double-bounded dichotomous choice model confirmed that each household was willing to pay 28,008 won per year, with the willingness to pay estimated at a minimum of 17,762 won and a maximum of 37,416 won based on different models. The total annual benefit for Jeju Island's ground water quality improvement was estimated to be about 8.66 billion won , and socioeconomic factors influencing willingness-to-pay were investigated. This study is expected to serve as a foundation for the development of environmental improvement policies by assisting in the understanding of Jeju Island's unique water resource environment.
