For efficient turbid water withdrawal in the Imha reservoir, a selective withdrawal facility was recently installed and operated during summer season of year 2006. In this research, CE-QUAL-W2 model was utilized to assess the efficiency of the selective withdrawal facility, in comparison with the original surface withdrawal, on turbid water management. Model calibration was carried out using data observed at four automatic monitoring stations in the reservoir. It was found that the model appropriately simulated, with the RMSE less than 5.2 NTU, the observed vertical and horizontal distributions of water temperature and turbidity as well as the location of maximum turbid water at each monitoring station. The analysis results showed that selective withdrawal is more effective in removing high turbid water than surface withdrawal as selective withdrawal contributed to reducing $35Mm^3$ of high turbidity water (> 100 NTU) in the reservoir by increasing outflows of high turbid water. Therefore, effective management of turbid water in the reservoir can be achieved by changing locations of intake depending on turbid water distribution conditions. The results of this study will provide some basic information for establishing better operation strategies to cope with turbid water problems.

In this study we developed a turbidity management system to support the operation for effective turbid water management. The decision-making system includes various models for prediction of turbid water inflow, effective reservoir operation using the selective withdrawal facility, analysis of turbid water discharge in the downstream. The system is supported by the intensive monitoring devices installed in the upstream rivers, reservoirs, and downstream rivers. SWAT and HSPF models were constructed to predict turbid water flows in the Imha and Andong catchments. CE-QUAL-W2 models were constructed for turbid water behavior prediction, and various analyses were conducted to examine the effects of the selective withdrawal operation for efficient high turbid water discharge, turbid water distribution under differing amount and locations of turbid water discharge. A 1-dimensional dynamic water quality model was built using Ko-Riv1 for simulation of turbidity propagation in the downstream of the reservoirs, and 2-dimensional models were developed to investigate the mixing phenomena of two waters discharged from the Andong and Imha reservoirs with different temperature and turbidity conditions during joint dam operation for reducing the impacts of turbid water.

Objectives: This study was aimed at determining the optimum coagulation dosage in a high turbid kaolin water sample using streaming current detection (SCD) as an alternative to the jar test. Methods: SCD is able to optimize coagulant dosing by titration of negatively charged particles. Kaolin particles were used to mimic highly turbid water ranging from 50 to 600 NTU, and polyaluminum chloride (PAC, 17%) was applied as a titrant and coagulant. The coagulation consisted of rapid stirring (5 min at 140 rpm), reduced stirring (20 min at 70 rpm), and settling (60 min). To confirm the coagulation effect, a jar test was also compared with the SCD titration results. Results: SCD titration of kaolin water samples showed that the dose of PAC increased as the pH rose. However, supernatant turbidity less than 1 NTU after coagulation was not achieved for high turbid water by SCD titration. Instead, a conversion factor was used to calculate the optimum PAC dosage for high turbid water by correlating a jar test result with that from an SCD titration. Using this approach, we were able to successfully achieve less than 1 NTU in treated water. Conclusions: For high turbid water influent in a water treatment plant, particularly during summer, the application of SCD control by applying a conversion factor can be more useful than a jar test due to the rapid calculation of coagulation dosage. Also, the interpolation of converted PAC dose could successfully achieve turbidity in the treated water of less than 1 NTU. This result indicates that an SCD system can be effectively used in a water treatment plant even for high turbid water during the rainy season.

Short-term effects of current velocity and turbid water on the benthic diatom community and water quality were examined in artificial channel ($20{\times}200{\times}10cm$) with two different experiments. The first and second experiments were consisted of different current velocities such as 1 L/min., and 1, 3, and 6 L/min., respectively. The concentration of turbid water is prepared with loess and fixed at 10 and 20 times of the turbidity of control inflow (10 NTU, LTW), respectively. At experiment 1 (EXP-1), introduction of turbid water increased dissolved oxygen, electric conductivity, pH and turbidity, but there were no differences between low- (100 NTU, MTW) and high-turbid water (200 NTU, HTW). However, experiment 2 (EXP-2) did not change any environmental parameters except dissolved total and inorganic nitrogen like EXP-1. MTW in EXP-1 strongly stimulated the growth of benthic diatom, while both MTW (150 NTU) and HTW (300 NTU) in EXP-2 did not increase or decrease the diatom abundance. Over the study, the dominant species was four, Aulacoseira ambigua, Cyclotella stelligera, Aulacoseira granulata and Achnanthes minutissima. In EXP-1, two highest species in abundance, A. ambigua and A. granulata were highly grown in MTW, while Achnanthes minutissima high in HTW adversely. These results indicate that the introduction of turbid water can play an important role in the shift of water quality and benthic diatom community in stream ecosystem, especially inflow of soil water in low current velocity.

Turbid water or suspended sediment is associated with negative effects on aquatic organisms; fish, aquatic invertebrate, and periphyton. Effects of turbid water on fish differ depending on their developmental stage and a level of turbidity. Low turbid water may cause feeding and predation rates, reaction distance, and avoidance in fish, and it could make fish to die under high turbidity and long period. Therefore, it is very important to find out how turbid water or suspended sediment can affect fish in domestic watersheds. The objectives of this study were 1) to introduce international case studies and their standards to deal with suspended sediment, 2) to determine acute toxicity in 4 major freshwater fishes, and 3) to determine in relation to adverse effect of macroinvertebrates and fish. Impacts of turbid water on fish can be categorized into direct and indirect effects, and some factors such as duration and frequency of exposure, toxicity, temperature, life stage of fish, size of particle, time of occurrence, availability of and access to refugia, etc, play important role to decide magnitude of effect. A review of turbidity standard in USA, Canada, and Europe indicated that each standard varied with natural condition, and Alaska allowed liberal increase of turbidity over natural conditions in streams. Even though acute toxicity with four different species did not show any fatal effect, it should be considered to conduct a chronic test (long-term) for more detailed assessment. Compared to the control, dominance index of macroinvertebrates was greater in the turbid site, whereas biotic index, species diversity index, species richness index, and ecological score were smaller in the turbid site. According to histopathological analysis with gills of macroinvertebrate and fishes, morphological and physiological modification of gills due to suspended sediments can cause disturbance of respiration, excretion and secretion. In conclusion, in order to maintain good and healthy aquatic ecosystem, it is the best to minimize or prevent impact by occurrence of turbid water in stream and reservoir. We must make every effort to maintain and manage healthy aquatic ecosystem with additional investigation using various assessment tools and periodic biomonitoring of fish.

DAF process has been designed considering raw water quality characteristics in Korea. Although direct filtration is usually operated, DAF is operated when the freshwater blooms occut or raw water turbidity become high. Pre-sedimentation iS prepared in case when raw water turbidity is very high by rainstorms. A main feature of this plant is that the operation mode can be changed (controlled) based on the characteristics of raw water to optimize the effluent quality and the operation costs. Treatment capacity (surface loading rate) and efficiency of DAF was found to be better than conventional sedimentation process. Moreover, low-density particles (algae and alum flocs) are easily separated while it is difficult to remove in sedimentation. One of the main concerns in adoption of DAF (Dissolved Air-Flotation) process is a high raw water turbidity problem. That is, DAF is not adequate for raw water, which is more turbid than 100NTU. In order to avoid this problem, pre-sedimentation basins are prepared in DAF plant to decrease the turbidity of DAF influent. For simulation of the actual operation, bench and full-scale tests were performed for highly turbid water conditions. Consequently, DAF process coupled with sedimentation is suggested that pre-sedimentation with optimum coagulation prior to DAF would be appropriate.

임하호는 다른 댐보다 고탁수 현상이 심하고 한번 탁수가 발생되면 수개월간 지속되는 양상을 보인다. 고탁수의 원인은 다양한 종류의 부유물질에 의한 것이며 이 부유물질은 미립의 점토광물과 조암광물 입자들이다. 이 미립자들은 홍수시 유수에 의해 떠내려 온 임하댐 유역의 암석 풍화물이며 유역일대의 특이한 지질과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 그러므로 근본적으로 임하댐 유역의 지질의 종류, 성질, 분포, 구조 등의 일반상태를 조사하고 이 가운데 점토를 공급하는 특이 지질을 찾아내어 탁도를 증가시키는 암석 풍화물이 임하호로 유입되는 경로를 조사하였다. 또한 임하호 내에서의 고탁수를 일으키는 부유물질의 종류와 거동상태를 감정함으로서 탁도 증가의 근본적인 원인을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 탁수가 어류에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여 임하호 유입지천인 탁수수계(영양군 화매천)와 비탁수수계(청송군 신흥천)의 수질, 토양성분 및 어류의 조직 생리적 변화를 조사하였다. 임하호 유입지천의 수질은 탁수수계에서 pH, DO, SS 및 탁도가 높았으며, 토양성분은 vermiculite (V), illite (I)와 같은 점토광물이 높은 것으로 보아 점토광물이 강우시 쉽게 유출되어 탁수에 영향을 줄 것으로 생각된다. 탁수수계에 서식하는 어류는 이차새변의 간격이 일정하지 않고, 상피세포의 분리와 부종 및 곤봉 형태가 관찰되었다. 또한 아가미 표면이 매끄럽지 못하며 다량의 이물질이 존재하였고, 신장 조직에서는 보우먼주머니 안의 사구체 크기가 수축되어 보우만 공간이 넓은 형태를 나타냈다. 이러한 조직학적 변화가 장기간 지속될 경우 어류의 2차 병변의 원인이 될 수 있으며, 더 나아가 어류의 건강상에 영향을 줄 것으로 사료된다. 항산화효소의 활성은 탁수수계에서 높은 활성을 보이며, GR은 항산화효소의 활성중 가장 낮은 활성을 나타냈다. 또한 탁수수계의 근육과 신장조직에서는 SOD, CAT, GPX, GST가 비탁수수계 보다 높은 활성을 보였다. 이는 활성산소가 많이 발생하는 탁수수계의 어류 체내에서는 유해한 라디칼을 제거하기 위해 항산화효소의 활성이 증가한 것으로 생각된다.

소양강물은 춘천과 서울지역 시민의 중요한 수원이다. 2006년 태풍 에위니아로 악화된 탁수현상은 예년과 달리 280일 이상 지속되었으며 이로 인하여 춘천 및 서울지역 물 공급에 차질을 빚었다. 한편 소양강 유역의 약 55%에 해당하는 고랭지밭의 토사유출이 탁수현상의 주요원인으로 꼽히며 이와 함께 무분별한 산지개간, 도로의 확포장, 임도개설 등도 탁수를 가중시키는 것으로 알려진다. 본 연구에서 2006년 6월${\sim}$2008년 8월간의 소양강 유역의 탁도, 강수량, 댐수위 등을 분석한 결과 탁도는 일 강우와 49일의 지연시간을 두고 최대의 상관성(r = 0.28)을 보였으며 특히 댐 수위와는 4일의 지연시간에 대해 탁월한 상관성(r = 0.60)을 나타냈다. 그리고 2006년과 2007년 두 차례 발생한 탁수의 지속기간과 거리별 탁도 자료를 이용하여 분석한 결과 취수원인 팔당댐에 탁수(10 NTU)가 도달하기 위한 소양강댐의 기준 탁도는 약 31 NTU로 추정되었다. 또 분석을 통해 향후 탁수발생 시 지속기간을 예측할 수 있는 지배감쇠곡선(master recession curve)을 제시하였다.
