  • Natural rivers have water purification functions called Gravel Contact Oxidation Process, which decontaminate river water by biological absorption, oxidation and degradation on riverbed gravels. This function has been developed and applied to many small/medium-sized urban rivers in Japan as one of the direct river water purification methods. However the method hasn't been verified in the tropics, which have different climate conditions and river characteristics. A preliminary experiment carried out at a polluted urban tributary in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where an increasing attention has been paid to river environment, showed a good applicability to the tropical conditions as a technically practical water purification measure with some maintenance cares for sludge management.

  • We monitored the occurrence of human enteric viruses in urban rivers by cell culture-PCR and RT-nested PCR. Water samples were collected monthly or semimonthly between May 2002 and March 2003 in four urban tributaries. Enteric viruses were detected by RT-nested PCR and cell culture-PCR based on a combination of Buffalo Green monkey kidney (BGMK) and A549 cell lines, followed by phylogenetic analysis of amplicons. By RT-nested PCR analysis, 45 (77.6%), 32 (55.2%), 32 (55.2%), 26 (44.8%), 12 (20.7%), 2 (3.4%), 4 (6.9%), and 4 (6.9%) of 58 samples showed positive results with adenoviruses, enteroviruses, noroviruses (NV) genogroup I (GI) and II (GII), reoviruses, hepatitis A viruses, rotaviruses and sapoviruses, respectively. Adenoviruses were most often detected and only eight (13.8%) samples were negative for adenoviruses and positive for other enteric viruses in the studied sites. Thirty-one (77.5%) of the 40 samples were positive for infectious adenoviruses and/or enteroviruses based on cell culture-PCR, and the frequency of positive samples grown on A549 and BGMK (65.0%) was higher than that grown on BGMK alone (47.5%). The occurrence of each enteric virus, except reoviruses and hepatitis A viruses was not statistically correlated with the water temperature and levels of fecal coliforms according to Binary logistic regression model. By sequence analysis, most strains of adenoviruses and enteroviruses detected in this study are similar to the causative agent of viral diseases in Korea and most NV GI- and GII-grouped strains were closely related to the reference strains from China and Japan, and GII/4-related strains had similar sequences to strains recognized as a worldwide epidemic outbreak. Our results suggested that monitoring human enteric viruses is necessary to improve microbial quality and cell culture-PCR using the combination of A549 and BGMK cells and the adenovirus detection by PCR could be useful for monitoring viral contamination in the aquatic environment.

  • Recent developments recommend the use of SSS to prevent combined sewer overflows and reduce excessive pollutant deposition in the receiving waters; however, other studies also suggest that SSS have minimal or no advantage over CSS in terms of reducing the pollutant loads being discharged in natural waterways. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of employing SSS in improving the water quality of the rivers in Okcheon-gun, South Korea. The former combined sewer outfalls (CSOs) were monitored to determine the presence of illicit connections or leaks in the newly-established SSS. Dry and wet-day monitoring was conducted alongside the collection of water samples on 14 points along the reach of the rivers and four former CSOs to determine water quality changes and patterns of pollutant loading. Among the 34 former CSOs in the study area, eight former CSOs exhibited dry-day discharges, implying the possibility of having illicit connections, leaks, or illegal wastewater discharge in the system. Moreover, relatively high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations, ranging from 4.8 mg/L to 24.9 mg/L and 6.4 mg/L to 10.1 mg/L, respectively were observed on three out of the four monitored CSOs. Fluctuations in the pollutant concentrations in the different monitored points along the river was also observed due to the presence of pipes discharging polluted water. Ultimately, further studies are necessary to identify the sources of dry-day discharges in the CSOs to successfully improve the water quality of the rivers in the area.

  • In Korea, where the plain land is greatly deficient as a mountainous nation, most of riparian zones were transformed into agricultural fields and urban areas. Excessive use of the land, which is close to river, makes the rivers enduring severe pollution stresses. Disappearance of riparian buffer, which plays a function of filter in the riverside, appears as a main factor aggravating water pollution of rivers. In this respect, it is imperative to restore the lost riparian vegetation. This study found out restoration models of riparian vegetation from the Bongseonsa stream, which has remnant riparian vegetation patches as a conservation reserve. Feasible reference information applicable for restoration of riparian vegetation was shown in the species level in the order of herb, shrub, and tree and sub-tree zones as far away from the waterway. Those information could contribute to restoring integrate and healthy rivers and streams beyond simple landscaping differently from the other restoration projects when they will be applied to the restoration project to be carried out in the future. In addition, the spatial range of river and stream, background that riparian zone disappeared in Korea, and application plan of the obtained reference information were discussed.

  • 댐 방류는 장마 또는 가뭄 등을 원인으로 하천과 하천 주변 지역의 관리를 위해 시행되고 있다. 댐 방류는 하천에서 수용할 수 있는 저수량을 정확하게 파악하는 것이 전제되어야 한다. 따라서 하천의 허용 저수량 파악은 하천 주변 환경 관리에 중요한 요소라고 할 수 있다. 하지만 현재 하천의 허용 저수량 파악에 사용되고 있는 수위계측기, 영상을 이용한 방법들은 정확성, 효율성 등의 측면에서 한계점을 보인다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 드론으로 촬영한 영상을 기반으로 하천의 허용 저수량을 자동으로 계산하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문이 제안하는 방법은 크게 두 단계로 수행된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 드론 영상을 이용하여 하천의 3차원 모델을 생성한다. 이 생성 과정은 대응점 추출, 영상 표정, 영상 정합 단계로 구성된다. 두 번째 단계에서는 생성된 하천 3차원 모델과 대상지역의 도로 및 하천 레이어를 이용하여 하천 단면 분석을 통해 허용 저수량을 산정한다. 이 단계에서는 하천의 최대 수위를 결정하고 하천을 따라 단면 프로파일을 추출, 3D 모델을 사용하여 대상지역 전체에 대한 허용 유량을 산정한다. 제안한 방법을 실험하기 위하여 북한강 일대의 데이터를 사용하였고, 결과적으로 허용 저수량을 자동으로 추출할 수 있었다. 제안한 방법은 하천과 그 주변지역의 실시간 관리 및 드론 영상을 활용한 3D 모델 활용에 큰 도움이 될 것이라 기대된다.

  • The geumjunggu of the onchunchun which is the upper stream have been maintained as a too much picture to become a concrete lining about existing low flow channel and the reservoir water protecting banks for the reason of the flow of an upper stream steep slope and back of the shortage of the channel area in a suitableness interval. This research made a rating-curve to decide since to ensure against risks to the flood control through the undo of the rivers. And we found the speed of current of a nature undo interval and existing concrete interval and water level change out. A result from this natural disposition we must apply as a data for the research about the plan to be established in the rivers maintenance basis plan of onchunchun.

  • It is essential to obtain accurate and highly reliable streamflow data for water resources planning, evaluation and management as well as design of hydraulic structures. A new discharge estimation method, which is named 'non-dimensional velocity distribution and index-velocity method,' was proposed in this research. This method showed very close channel discharges which were calculated with the exiting velocity-area method. When velocity-area method is used to estimate channel discharge, it is required to observe point velocities at every desired point and vertical using a current meter like Price-AA. However 'non-dimensional velocity distribution and index-velocity method' is used, it become optional to observe point velocities at every desired point and vertical. But this method can not be applied for the cases of very complex and strongly asymmetric channel cross-sections because non-dimensional velocity distribution by entropy concept may be quite biased from that of natural rivers.

  • 지형도를 이용하여 전국 주요하천의 홍수터 면적을 조사하였고, 원판형 부압침투계를 이용하여 홍수터 토양의 투수특성을 조사하였다. 문헌조사와 불포화 흐름해석용 코드를 이용하여 홍수터에서 도시하수의 2차 처리수에 대한 토양처리의 가능성도 평가하였다. 이들 자료를 바탕으로 우리나라의 홍수터여과 용량을 산정하였다. 연구결과 우리나라의 홍수터는 토양여과에 적합한 표층토를 가지며, 하천연장 전체에 걸쳐 홍수터가 골고루 분포되어 있어서 홍수터여과가 하수의 추가처리로 활용되기에 유리한 여건임을 알 수 있었다. 우리나라 전체의 홍수터여과 용량은 약 182,000,000 $m^3$/day이고, 대부분의 하천들은 2차 처리수를 모두 홍수터여과를 통해 추가적으로 처리할 수 있을 것으로 계산되어 이 공법을 적용할 경우 하천수질이 개선 될 것이라고 기대한다. 또한, 본 공법은 상수원수의 수질개선에도 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대되었다.
