Due to the nationwide development, sediment yield has to be estimated to design the sedimentation basin which is used to minimize the effects of construction or disturbing the natural soil condition. But there is no proved equation for the estimation of sediment yield in Korea. Therefore, applicability and the limitation of RUSLE (revised universal sediment loss equation) sediment yield equation is examined for the construction sites, where the rainfall and sediment data are available. General mistakes in estimation of the RUSLE parameters are also discussed. It is found that RUSLE could be applied in Korea as long as the sediment delivery ratio was considered. Appropriate estimation method of sediment delivery ratio are also proposed.

Pretreatment technologies are defined as technologies that prepare or condition dredged material for subsequent, more rigorous treatment processes. The objectives of this study are to test the feasibility of treating dredged sediment using pretreatment process(hydrocyclone, sedimentation basin, and flotation), and to estimate design parameters for a pilot-plant design. The final goal of the project is to recycle the dredged sediment that is otherwise reused as construction materials.

Water quality of river is greatly influenced by sediments of planktons, suspended solids and organic matters being transported by efflenced. The water quality is also affected by their release at the place of sediments with slow flow of water. This paper deals with the Characteristics of Oxygen consumption of sediments in small river which is greatly vary with time. Some typical samples of sediment were taken from both aerobic and anaerobic condition reserved for several months. and, the samples of sediment were checked on the relative ratio of oxygen consumption by nitrification.

In this study, sediment pass-through (SPT) from the Sangju Weir and Gumi Weir in the Nakdong River is analyzed numerically using CCHE2D. Sediment delivery is analyzed to predict the sediment discharge rate in the Sangju Weir and Gumi Weir. The sediment discharge from the Sanju Weir is 4,381 tons in the inflow of $3,857m^3/s$, which are 2 year frequency discharge, for 48 hours, and the sediment discharge is 2,766 tons in the inflow of $1,500m^3/s$. The maximum sediment delivery occurs in the immediate downstream of the weir. The sediment discharge from the Gumi Weir is 3,216 tons in the inflow of $5,400m^3/s$, which are 2 year frequency discharge, for 48 hours, and the sediment discharge is 73 tons in the inflow of $3,857m^3/s$. The maximum sediment delivery occurs in the weir. Therefore, the effectiveness of sediment delivery is high in the condition of the 2 year frequency discharge and the gate in the weirs fully are opened.

Indigenous bacterial mediation of As in contaminated sediment after biostimulation with a variety of carbon sources was investigated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Under the aerobic condition with lactate supply, indigenous bacteria increased the amount of total As extracted from the sediment and most dissolved As existed as As(V). Under the anaerobic, glucose-supplied condition, dissolved As diminished with time likely due to production of As sulfide(s) and subsequent precipitation, which resulted from bacterial reduction of ${SO_4}^{2-}$. The results implied that bacterial natural attenuation of As in subsurface has a potential to be practically applied.

Characterization of sediment in the riverbed is of importance for effective water quality management, yet have not been monitored sufficiently. This paper reports monitoring results of nutrient concentrations of sediments. Surface waters and sediments were sampled four times during rainy season at five monitoring points. Organics of overlying water were increased after high flow condition followed by decreasing tendencies. Soluble phosphorus fraction among total phosphorus was increased after high flow condition while total phosphorus was in decreasing tendencies. Monitoring result suggested that more extended monitoring scheme for flow rate, scouring velocity, and suspended material is required for analyzing relationship between water quality and sediment.

The transport and fate of fine-grained, cohesive sediments in an estuary were investigated numerically. A numerical model of sediment entrainment, deposition, and transport has been developed by incorporating recent results of laboratory and field investigations. The time-dependent flow fields produced by fiver inflow and semi-diurnal tides, were calculated, and the corresponding distributions of suspended-sediment concentrations were obtained. The time-changes of sediment bed condition due to entrainment and deposition were obtained. The entrained sediments contribute initially to high sediment concentrations in the estuary basin. As the time passes, the suspended-sediment concentrations were much reduced by the seaward transport due to residual currents. The erosional and dipositional areas were appeared to be strongly dependent on the current-velocity fields and sediment properties of the estuary.

The marine sediment sustains from the anoxic condition due to increased nutrients of external sources. The nutrients are liberated from the sediment, which acts as an internal source. In hypoxic environments, anaerobic respiration results in the formation of several reduced matters, such as N₂ and NH₄⁺, N₂O, Fe²⁺, H₂S, etc. The experimental results have shown that nitrogen and sulfur played an influential, notable role in this biogeochemical cycle with expected chemical reductions and a 'diffusive' release of present nutrient components trapped in pore water inside sediment toward the bulk water. Nitate/ammonium, sulfate/sulfides, and ferrous/ferric irons are found to be the key players in these sediment-waters mutual interactions. Organonitrogen and nitrate in the sediment were likely to be converted to a form of ammonium. Reductive nitrogen is called dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium and denitrification. The steady accumulation in the sediment and surplus increases in the overlying waters of ammonium strongly support this hypothesis as well as a diffusive action of the involved chemical species. Sulfate would serve as an essential electron acceptor so as to form acid volatile sulfides in present of Fe³⁺, which ended up as the Fe²⁺ positively with an aid of the residential microbial community.

According to the research result of existing regarding the seabed organic sediment, contamination it flows from the land and the sea become the enemy in the coastal water. It was caused with the summer season water temperature rise and dispersing recall respect advancement. Phosphorus which is a main reason of red tide actual condition came to reveal vast quantity with the facts that it gushes. Specially, in the case of the coastal closing waters and the nursery, as the corpse and the fresh fish washing veterinarian was imbrued, it is the actual condition where is more deepened. Consequently the development of shallow layer dredging method of that suction power which is stabilized is demanded to be able to dredge only the sediment layer which has not become the pressure and is a main reason of being imbrued. The dredging methods using the pressure difference minimize the suction of the seabed sediment. This method is stable that suction power which occurs from guard difference of the guard and the guard of the dredging system inland water. That's why it is possible to sort dredging of the organic sediment ranging in upper layer sediment and it will be able to expect the minimization of dredging quantity. Increase of the expense that it followsin orthocenter with the fact will not grow. Because the pressure difference of the dredger inland water is occurred by the suction power. Maintenance administrative costs are reduced, because the one of smallest dredging system maneuvers and the barge which affixes an integrated operation system is mainly in a resting. To reduce a dredging hour, it will be able to solve in the condensed water as operating the jar guard post.

To dissolve the multi-layered model problems, and to complement 2-layered model's simplicity, assumed fluid-fluid-solid 3-layered model. Generally it is known that if the sediment thickness is more than 10 wavelength, the half space's influence to the in-water acoustic field could be disregarded. By tracking the maximum correlation coefficient of calculated results and experimental ones we confirmed that the requirement could be more realized. To calculate the maximum correlation coefficient we used single sensor transmission loss. On the assumption that the sediment sound velocity was 1813 m/s and frequency range 50 kHz to 120 kHz, the conversion condition was from 2.5 to 7.7 wavelength.
