We investigated the spatial and temporal variation in characteristics and pollution assessment of sediments in the watersheds of Andong-Dam and Imha-Dam, in Korea. Surface sediments were collected from six sites once a year for three years (2015-2017), and analyzed for organic matter (water content, IL, COD, TOC, TN, and TP), grain size, and concentration of trace metals (Al, Li, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu, Ni, and As). Organic matter generally tended to increase, and was higher in the Andong watershed compare to Imha watershed. Surface sediments were mainly composed of silt. Coarse sediments were mainly distributed at the site adjacent to Andong-Dam, and showed fining after coarsening. Fine sediment were mainly distributed at the site adjacent to Imha-Dam, and were gradually coarsening. Concentration of trace metals generally tended to increase, and was higher for sites in watershed of Andong watershed (PLI > 1) than for sites in Imha watershed (PLI < 1). Trace metals in the study area were considered to be affected by fine sediment (silt), and contamination of trace metals was somewhat affected by Pb, and greatly affected by Zn and As.

본 연구는 남한강 수계 하천 퇴적물 중 $^{137}Cs$의 방사능 농도 분포 실태를 조사하고, 국외 연구사례와 비교하여 국내 하천퇴적물 중 $^{137}Cs$의 농도수준을 평가하였다. 감마선분광분석기를 이용하여 퇴적물 중 $^{137}Cs$의 방사능 농도를 분석한 결과, 농도범위는 <$MDA{\sim}3.80{\pm}0.14Bq/kg{\cdot}dry$로 국내 토양 중 $^{137}Cs$ 농도와 비슷한 수준을 보였다. 국외 연구사례를 조사한 결과, 원전사고나 방사성물질 유출 등에 의한 오염원이 존재할 경우 $^{137}Cs$의 농도범위는 $3.7{\sim}15,396Bq/kg{\cdot}dry$로 국가별, 오염원 발생시기, 조사시점 등에 따라 다양한 농도 분포를 보였다. 또한, 오염원이 없는 국외 하천 호소 퇴적물 중 $^{137}Cs$의 농도는 대부분 $10Bq/kg{\cdot}dry$ 미만으로 본 연구결과와 유사한 수준으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과는 우리나라 하천퇴적물 중 $^{137}Cs$의 배경농도를 제공하고, 하천의 $^{137}Cs$ 오염여부를 판단하는 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 진위천 단위유역의 수질오염총량제도에 따른 유량 및 수질 특성을 정확히 파악하고 목표 수질을 달성하기 위하여 수질 개선이 우선적으로 필요한 총량 지점을 선정하여 관리 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 진위천 단위유역의 2014년부터 2016년까지 14개 총량 지점을 대상으로 유량 및 수질 특성, 통계 분석, 유달부하량 및 유달부하 밀도 산정, 하천 등급화 등을 평가하였다. 진위천 단위유역의 유량은 평균 $22.411m^3/s$이고 황구지천의 유량이 32.8%를 차지하였으며 지류 하천에 따른 공간적으로 수질특성이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 주성분 분석 결과 오산천과 황구지천은 유기오염 간접지표 및 계절적 요인, 성은천은 유기오염 간접지표 요인, 관리천은 계절적 요인이 수질에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 유달부하량 산정 결과 HG-3 지점에서 6,470.4 BOD kg/day, 6,846.7 TN kg/day로 높게 나타났으며 유달부하 밀도는 HG-4 지점에서 $220.9BOD\;kg/day/km^2$, $22.4TP\;kg/day/km^2$로 높게 나타났다. 하천 등급화 방법을 이용한 진위천 단위유역의 수질 개선이 우선으로 필요한 총량 지점은 HG-3 지점으로 나타났다.

This study was performed to build up the ecological guidelines to grasp the structure of the vegetation change which is due to river rehabilitation. Anyway, river ecosystem and function has been destroyed owing to river development. It is important that river vegetation supplies ecological corridor and biotope. Two survey sites(Wonsungcheon and Pungseocheon)were investigated in the aspect of plant ecosystem and structure to settle the practical concept of river ecosystem. Each survey site was subdivided to five plots. The site was surveyed through the belttransect method. Wonsungcheon gets more seriously polluted as it runs to the urban area. In other words, there are On the other hand, Pungseocheon has more naturality but its downstream is under the pressure of various wood plants in the upstream area, but downstream area is dominated by naturalized plants such as Bidens frondosa, Panicum dichotomiflorum, etc. Riverbank of downstream has been changed into farm and parking lot. development. It should be preserved definitely because it still has abundant naturality and wetland which formed a biotope. The objective of the research is to find out the river retrogression and maintenance methods based on the riparian vegetation structure. To manage the river ecologically, hydrophytes should be induced partly for natural purification after the riverside is rehabilitated. The vegetation should be induced step by step to restore natural river and steady monitoring and research are required.

본 연구에서는 국내ㆍ외의 하천자연도평가에 관한 방법을 조사하고, 국내에서 연구ㆍ제안된 하천자연도평가방법에 따라 내린천, 복하천과 안양천의 3개하천의 시범평가를 시행하였다. 시범평가 결과, 자연상태가 비교적 잘 보전된 내린천은 2등급, 인위적인 훼손에서 회복단계에 있는 복하천은 3등급, 인위적인 훼손이 심각한 안양천은 4등급으로 평가되어 비교적 하천의 생물서식처의 훼손정도를 적절히 반영하고 적용성이 우수한 것으로 검토되었다. 따라서 본 평가방법을 국가하천 및 지방1급하천 등 대하천에서도 적용이 가능하도록 평가부문 및 평가항목을 개선하여 하천의 생물서식처 복원을 위한 하천자연도평가 방법과 절차를 제안하였다. 금번 제안한 하천자연도평가는 하천형태와 하천환경의 2개 평가부문과 14개의 평가항목으로 구성하고, 평가척도는 자연성 저감정도에 따라 5등급으로 구분하였으며, 평가단위는 최적간격을 2,000m∼3,000m로 하였다.

본 연구에서는 하천환경 평가체계에서 가장 우선적으로 이루어지는 하천 유형화 및 세구간 설정 작업을 위해 위성영상의 활용방안을 검토하였다. 국내 하천 환경 평가체계의 경우 하천 유형화 결과에 따라 저수로 폭의 10배 또는 20배를 기준으로 평가 세구간을 설정하기를 제안한다. 연구수행을 위해 청미천 본류를 대상으로 하천 관련 기본자료들을 이용하여 하천 유형화 작업을 수행하였으며, 이후 위성영상에 최적분류법을 적용하여 토지피복분류를 수행하였다. 위성영상의 경우 10 m 해상도의 개방형 자료인 Sentiel-2를 이용하였으며, 다양한 유량 조건을 고려하기위해 총 4개의 위성영상자료를 이용하였다: 2018년 2월 2일 (일유량 = 2.39 m³/s), 5월 23일 (일유량 = 15.51 m³/s), 6월 2일 (일유량 = 3.88 m³/s), 7월 7일 (일유량 = 33.61 m³/s). 토지피복분류 결과로부터 저수로 폭을 획득하였으며, 결과를 통해 하천환경평가를 위한 세구간을 설정하였다. 세구간 설정 결과는 하천 환경 물리적 지표 중 소의 다양성, 사행도, 하천횡단 형상, 하천횡단구조물에 대한 평가를 통해 검토되었다. 본 연구를 통해 하천환경 평가시스템을 위한 세구간 설정에 위성영상을 활용하는 경우 유량 조건에 대한 충분한 고려가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Estuary is a transitional zone between river and ocean environment that receives the maritime and riverine influence simultaneously. Estuaries are the most productive habitats because their incoming water provides large quantities of nutrients. The Seomjin River estuary, located in the middle south of Korea, has no barrage and shows natural characteristic of estuary. However, due to dredging and reclamation the environment of the estuary has been changed significantly in the river mouth. In addition, increased freshwater intake in midstream of the Seomjin River results in salinity intrusion. In this paper salinity variation in downstream estuary of the Seomjin River has been simulated and tested using EFDC model. The results of simulation were compared with measured data collected at three points, Culture & Art Center, Sumjin Iron Bridge, and Mokdori, located at 9Km, 14Km, and 15.5Km respectively from downstream estuary. Based on the simulated results, the contribution of the flushing discharge has been evaluated in preventing the salinity intrusion by increasing the discharge flowrates released from the Juam dam.

The Geumho river watershed located in the middle of the Nakdong river has been threatened by high population growth and urbanization. Of concern specifically is the potential impact of future developments in the watershed on the reduction of base flow and the consequent risk of degradation of ecological habitats in Geumho river. Anticipated increase in imperviousness, on the other hand, is expected to elevate flood risk and the associated environmental damage. A watershed hydrology based modeling study is initiated in this study to assist in planning for sustainable future development in the Geumho river watershed. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is selected to model the impact of urbanization in the Geumho river watershed on the hydrologic response thereof. The modeling results show that in general the likelihood that the watershed will experience high and low stream flows will increase in view of the urbanization so far achieved.

The particle sizes and heavy metal concentrations (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, Hg, As, Cr, Ni, Li, Al) of surface sediments of the Yeongsan River were analyzed to assess the distribution and pollution level of heavy metals. The distribution of particle sizes was dominated by sand in the upstream sites (MS1-MS7) and by silt loam in the downstream sites (MS8-ML3), but MS3 and MS6, located slightly upstream of the two weirs, were found to be loamy sand and silt loam, respectively. The concentrations of Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd and Hg were higher at the upstream sites, while As, Cr, Ni and Li were higher at the downstream sites. The heavy metals of crustal origin (As, Cr, Ni and Li) were strongly correlated with particle size, while the other heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd and Hg) were weakly correlated with particle size. Considering their concentrations, most of heavy metals were evaluated as having almost no toxic effects on benthic organisms, at all sites. In addition, anthropogenic contamination by the $I_{geo}$, EF and CF were found to have no impact at most sites, with only low levels of pollution at the others. Using the PLI method, the MS2 and MS3 sites, located upstream, were assessed to be affected by anthropogenic contamination. Most importantly, Zn, Cu and Hg were found to be the elements responsible for most pollution, and they were highest at the upstream sites, implying pollution by domestic sewage and urban discharge.
