  • Shallow groundwater systems are highly vulnerable to anthropogenic contamination and are characterized by a variety of redox condition. The redox state is a key parameter to control the nitrate contamination which is related to nitrification or denitrification processes. In relation to the control of nitrate problem, it is very important to understand the source, transport and fate of nitrogen compounds in a groundwater system. (omitted)

  • Coastal lagoons play a crucial role in water exchange, water quality, and biodiversity. It is essential to monitor and understand the dynamics of hydrogeochemistry in lagoon water and its groundwater to preserve and sustainably manage the groundwater-dependent ecosystems like coastal lagoons. This study investigated the spatial and temporal hydrogeochemical characteristics of coastal lagoon (Songjiho) and groundwater on the east coast of Korea. The concentrations of major ions, water isotopes, and nutrients (nitrogen and dissolved organic carbon) in lagoon water and groundwater were periodically monitored for one year. The study revealed that major ions and total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration were higher at deeper depths of aquifers and closer to the coastal area. The hydrogeochemical characteristics of coastal lagoon and groundwater chemistry were classified into two types, Ca-Mg-HCO3 and Na-Cl, based on their spatial location from inland to coastal area. Moreover, the hydrogeochemical characteristics of coastal lagoons and groundwater varied significantly depending on the season. During the wet season, the increased precipitation and evaporation lead to changes in water chemistry. As a result, the total organic carbon (TOC) of coastal lagoons increases during this season, likely due to increased runoff by rainfall whereas the variation of chemical compositions in the lagoon and groundwater were not significant because there is reduced precipitation, resulting in stable water levels and during the dry season. The study emphasizes the impact of spatial distribution and seasonal changes in precipitation, evaporation, and river discharge on the hydrogeochemical characteristics of the coastal aquifer and lagoon system. Understanding these impacts is crucial for managing and protecting coastal lagoons and groundwater resources.

  • This study provided sorption properties of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and elucidated potential application of CFC sorption data in hydrogeochemistry. Prior sorption studies were reviewed for hydrophobic organic compounds similar to the CFCs, because there were only few CFC sorption studies. The CFCs are regarded as relatively conservative chemicals in groundwater environments based on their moderate hydrophobicity. However, thermally altered carbonaceous matter (TACM) can significantly increase sorption capacity and nonlinearity for hydrophobic organic compounds such as CFCs, compared to general soil organic matter. CFC sorption behavior are close to the sorption for reviewed organic chemicals. Therefore, the CFC sorption data can be used for determining hydrogeochemical properties and predicting transport of organic contaminants in TACM-containing aquifer environments.

  • 이 연구에서는 강원도 도계지역의 오십천과 주변의 지류를 대상으로 하천수의 수리지화학적 특성을 규명하여 지표 수질에 대한 지하수의 영향을 정량적으로 밝히고, 이를 근거로 체계적인 수자원 관리를 위한 기본정보를 제공하고자 하였다. 오십천 하천수의 수질모니터링 결과, 산화환원전위, 용존 이온성분의 분포와 성분간의 상관성, 산소-수소 동위원소비, 오염물질의 분포와 발생 등은 오십천의 가장 중요한 공급원이 지하수임을 지시한다. 하천수의 수질유형은 기반암의 지질학적 특성에 따른 지하수의 물-암석 반응에 의해 결정되며, 조선누층군의 탄산염 기반암에 기원하는 $Ca-HCO_3$ 유형, 평안누층군 내 탄층에 수반되는 황화광물의 용해와 연관된 (Ca, Mg)-$SO_4$ 유형, 그리고 이 두 유형이 복합적으로 나타나는 (Ca, Mg)-($HCO_3$, $SO_4$) 유형 등의 3가지 유형이 나타난다. 수질 오염현상은 광산배수와 유사한 높은 $SO_4$ 함량과, 지표 토지이용에 따른 질산염의 국지적 발생이 확인된다. 여름철 집중강수는 하천수질의 전반적인 유형에는 영향을 미치지 않으나, 지표기원의 오염물질인 질산염과 염소 등의 유입이 증가되는 현상을 초래한다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 증가된 하천유출량으로 인해 용존이온의 농도 희석효과가 발생한다. 본 연구결과는 지표수 수질관리의 시발점이 주 공급원이 되는 지하수질의 특성화로부터 시작되어야 함을 지시한다.
