An endosulfan degrading bacterial strain, K-1321, was isolated by endosulfan-enrichment culture from a seaside sediment collected at Dadaepo Beach, Busan, Korea. The strain was identified as a Serratia sp. based on the results of morphological, biochemical and 16S rDNA homology analyses. Serratia sp. K-1321 was able to completely degrade 50 ppm endosulfan in culture media and soil within 6 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$. GC/MS analysis revealed that endosulfan diol was an intermediate of the bacterial endosulfan degradation. Considering the above results, we concluded that Serratia sp. K-1321 utilized endosulfan as a carbon source and metabolized endosulfan via a less toxic pathway, such as the formation of endosulfan diol as an intermediate.

Environment problem has been arising in many countries. Especially, soil erosion has been deemed as one of the biggest issues because sediment causes muddy water and pollutants, such as agricultural chemicals, flow in the stream with this sediment. Many studies, regarding soil loss and non-point source pollution from watershed, has been performed while serious problem has been known. Soil loss occurred in most agricultural area by rainfall and runoff. It makes hydraulic structure unstable, causes environmental economical problems because muddy water destroys ecosystem and causes intake water deterioration. As revealing serious effects of muddy water by sediment, many researches have been doing with various methods. Hydraulic structures establishments such as soil erosion control dams and grit chamber are common. Vegetative filter strip is investigated in this study because vegetative filter strip is designed for reducing sediment from upland areas of the watershed, and it has many functions, not only sediment reduction but also runoff water quality improvement and wildlife habitat. With these positive functions of the vegetative filter strip, the study about vegetative filter strip has been increasing for reducing sediment because it is more effective than hydraulic structures from an environmental perspective. But the sediment trapping efficiency by vegetative filter strip, needs to be investigated and designed first. Therefore the model, VFSMOD-W, was used in this study as it can estimate sediment trapping efficiency of vegetative filter strip under various field, vegetation, weather condition. Sensitive factors to sediment trapping efficiency are studied with VFSMOD-W, and sediment trapping efficiency equation has been derived using two most sensitive factors. It is thought that the equation suggested in this study can be used in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), to overcome the limit of SWAT filter strip module, which is based solely on filter strip width.

Nonlinear acoustic responses of water-saturated sediments are very important to understand nonlinear phenomena of gassy ocean sediments. Especially, the second harmonic, the sum and the difference frequency acoustic waves in water-saturated sediments can provide practical criteria to estimate the nonlinear parameter of gassy sediments. In this paper, the difference frequency acoustic wave in water-saturated sandy sediment was observed in a water tank experiment with a pulse transmission technique. Its pressure level was 12 dB higher than the background noise level at a maximum undistorted driving pressure of source acoustic transducer. The experimental results were compared with a theoretical estimation of the parametric acoustic array. The nonlinear parameter of water-saturated sandy sediment was also estimated as 73 with their comparison. This value can be utilized as the background information to estimate gas void fraction in the water-saturated gassy sandy sediment.

When an offshore foundation is exposed to waves and currents, local scour could develop around a pile and even lead to structural failure. Therefore, understanding and predicting the scour due to sediment transport around foundations are important in the engineering design. In this study, the flow and scour around a monopole foundation exposed to a current were investigated using a method that coupled the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and discrete element method (DEM). The open source computation fluid dynamics library OpenFOAM and a sediment transport library were coupled in the OpenFOAM platform. The incipient motion of the particle was validated. The flow fields and sediment transport around the monopole were simulated. The scour depth development was simulated and compared with existing experimental data. For the upstream scour hole, the equilibrium scour depth could be reproduced qualitatively, and it was underestimated by about 23%.

가로림만 조간대 표층퇴적물의 입도조직변수(평균입도, 분급도 및 왜도)를 기초로 '이차원 퇴적물 이동벡터모델'을 이용하여 퇴적물의 이동방향을 추정하였고 이에 따른 퇴적물의 이동현상을 해석하였다. 채취된 퇴적물은 각 정점마다 전체와 조립질(< 4.5 ${\phi}$)로 구분하여 각각의 퇴적물이동방향(15 경우)을 구하였고, 이 방향과 지형, 층면형태(bedform)의 정밀측정, 그리고 여러 번의 현장관찰을 기초로 결정된 퇴적물의 실제이동방향과 비교하였다. 퇴적물의 실제이동방향과 가장 일치하는 이동벡터는 조립질 퇴적물에서 퇴적물 이동방향으로 퇴적물이 세립해지고, 분급이 좋아지며 왜도가 감소하는 경우와 퇴적물이 조립해지고, 분급이 좋아지며 왜도가 증가하는 경우를 조합한 M 경우이다. 이는 조립질 퇴적물이 연구지역의 퇴적물이동에 주요 구성성분이며, 세립질(> 4.5 ${\phi}$)을 포함하는 전체 퇴적물보다 퇴적기작이 더 단순하므로 '퇴적물이동벡터모델'과 잘 부합하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 전체 퇴적물과 조립질 퇴적물 모두 퇴적물의 이동방향으로 분급도가 좋아지는 경향이 뚜렷한데, 이는 퇴적기작의 복잡성과 관계없이 연속적인 수리에너지는 퇴적물의 분급을 더 좋게 한다는 것을 증명한다. 또한 이 연구결과를 통하여 사주조간대의 조립질퇴적물의 이동은 남북방향으로 놓여 있는 만 입구 동주수로를 통하여 저조선에서 상부조간대로 이동하면서 퇴적되었고, 일부는 동주수로를 지나 남수로로 공급되어 반시계방향으로 돌며 북쪽지역으로 이동 퇴적되었음이 밝혀졌다. 조립질 퇴적물은 사주에 퇴적되지만, 일부는 북수로를 따라 썰물때 다시 만밖으로 나가는 것으로 퇴적물이동벡터모델이나 퇴적물 실제이동방향의 관찰 모두에서 증명되었다. 따라서 북수로 및 북동쪽 뻘질모래지역은 만 밖에서 운반된 부유퇴적물과 조립퇴적물이 동시에 퇴적되는 지역이며, 지역적으로 조립질과 세립질의 분리퇴적현상이 때때로 관찰되기도 하는 수리역학적 퇴적물 혼합지역이다. 사주의 육지이동과 북수로 발달현상은 조립퇴적물이 만 밖이나 만 입구 등 근원지(장안퇴를 포함한 사퇴)로부터 더 많이 유입되었거나 혹은 상대적 해수면의 상승의 결과로 보인다.

In order to assess the influences of bottom sediment on water quality, following measurement were made. (1) Estimations of pollutant loads from the bottom sediment based on mass balance concept, (2) measurements of pollutant concentrations in the sediment to assess the pollution level and influence potential, (3) in situ and laboratory measurements of Sediment Oxygen Demants (SOD) and pollutant load (sediment release) from bottom sediment. Analyses of inflow and outflow loadings using simple mass balance show that there are some variations found according to the pollutants. However, there is no consistent evidence that the sediment can be a source of pollutants. Pollutant concentrations in the sediment range 16~724.8 mg/kg (COD), 1.68 ~12.64 mg/kg (T-P), 5.6~76.8 mg/kg (T-N), 0.32~21.6 mg/kg ($NH_3$-N), 0.092~0.544 mg/kg ($NO_2$-N), 4.8~18.4 mg/kg ($NO_3$-N), and 1.59~11.23 mg/kg ($PO_4$-P). Measured SOD ranges $0.190{\sim}0.802g{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ and measured release rate ranges $-1618.42{\sim}10mg/m^2{\cdot}d$(COD), $-12{\sim}16mg/m^2{\cdot}d$(T-P), $-197.37{\sim}140mg/m^2{\cdot}d$(T-N), $0.4{\sim}74.32mg/m^2{\cdot}d$($NH_3$-N), $-2.04{\sim}0.8mg/m^2{\cdot}d$ ($NO_2$-N), $-70{\sim}40mg/m^2{\cdot}d$ ($NO_3$-N), and $-26.11{\sim}28.55mg/m^2{\cdot}d$($PO_4$-P). All study results indicate that bottom sediments in the Seoha weir show only limited effects on the water quality. It implies that sediment dredging is not an effective option or management measure to reduce pollutant loading.

Water quality and contamination of sediment is a growing concern in the Iksan stream of Korea. Heavy metal contamination and changes in the physicochemical properties of the stream were evaluated. Water and sediment samples were collected from six sites during the dry and rainy seasons; pH, DO, EC, ORP, turbidity, $PO_4$-P, $NO_3$-N and selected heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Ni, As, Zn, Cd, Hg) were measured. Results showed almost no change in pH between seasons. DO was highest at site 2 (~2.63 mg/L) in the dry season; EC (1,540 ms/m) was greatest at site 1 in both seasons. The ORP gradually increased from the dry to rainy season at most of the sites and was highest at site 5. Turbidity was highest at site 1 and gradually decreased from the dry to rainy season at all sites except site 3. $PO_4$-P ranged from a high of 1,193mg/L at site 1 to in the dry season to a low of ~1.2 mg/L at site 4. In contrast, $NO_3$-N was highest at site 3 in the rainy season (12,531 mg/L). Among the heavy metals measured, Cu and Zn concentrations were highest at all sediment sites. Cu and Zn are added to livestock feed to improve reproductive rates and can be carried to the stream with manure. Transport of sediment and heavy metals during the rainy season is the major source of stream contamination and it is important to continue monitoring and take necessary action in these areas.

댐은 사회전반에 걸쳐 많은 편익을 제공하고 있다. 이를 위해서는 일정수준 이상의 저수용량 확보가 필수적이다. 그러나 상류의 토사 유입으로 인하여 댐의 저수용량은 줄어들고 있는 실정이다. 전 세계적으로 5조 톤의 토사가 매년 댐 뒤에 쌓이는 실정이다. 강이 여러 지역에 걸쳐 흐르는 경우 상류의 농업에서 발생하는 토사는 장시간에 걸쳐서 지속적으로 발생하기 때문에 상류 농업종사자들은 관리를 소홀히 하는 경향이 있다. 특히 토사는 댐의 저수용량을 지속적으로 줄여 궁극적으로는 댐의 경제적 가치를 소멸시키는 효과가 있다. 따라서 상류 지역의 토사저감 노력과 함께 댐의 저수용량 확보가 급선무이다. 실증분석으로 나일강 상류의 수단 농업지역과 하류의 이집트 Aswan High Dam을 분석하였다. 실증분석 결과 상류 농업부문의 토사저감 노력과 댐의 토사제거 방안이 사회전체의 경제적 편익을 극대화하는 것으로 나타났다. 동태적 최적제어이론을 이용한 유역토사관리 모형에서 댐의 경제적 편익을 포함한 사회전체의 편익은 크게는 약 1,510억 달러로 추산되었다.

Nitrogen flux release from organically enriched sediments into overlying water, which may have significantly influence on water quality and increasing continuous eutrophication. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the remediation efficiency of oyster shell powder and its treated product into organically enriched sediment in terms of nitrogen flux, organic matter, chlorophyll-a, pH and dissolved oxygen (DO). The TOSP was mainly composed of CaO2. The application of TOSP into the sediment has increased the pH, DO and significantly decreased the concentrations of NH₄⁺-N and T-N compared to other basins. On the other hand, nitrate was enriched with the addition of treated oyster powder, an oxygen releasing compound on both phases. Furthermore, chlorophyll-a was found to be increasing with time in the control basin meanwhile it dropped drastically with the addition of TOSP, which implied on the repression of algal growth owing to blockage of nitrogen source migrating from the sediment. This study has shown that the TOSP was effective to improve sediment-water quality, diminish eutrophication and control harmful algae blooms in a marine environment. Therefore, it is a good reference as an effective environmental remediation agent.

분산형 비점오염원 모델에서 단위유역 크기의 영향을 검토하기 위하여 민감도 분석 연구를 실시하였다. 미농무성의 AGNPS 모델에서 변형된 AnnAGNPS 모델을 남한강 수계의 청미천의 지류인 응천 유역에 적용하였다. 10에서 200 헥타르에 이르는 다양한 단위유역 크기에 따라 유로연장, 경사, 토지 이용, 유달율 등과 같은 모델 요소와 결과를 분석하였다. 단위유역의 크기가 증가함에 따라 휘어진 하천이 단거리로 계산되기 때문에 유로연장이 감소하게 되고, 이것은 다른 어떤 지형 변화보다 모델 결과에 중요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 토지 이용도와 토양 분포 효과가 제외되었을 경우, 단위유역이 클수록 유역의 최종유출구까지 도달하는 시간이 짧아져 토사 유달 부하량이 증가하였다. 그러나 이러한 영향이 포함되었을 경우, 단위유역이 클수록 적용 유역의 토지이용의 다양도가 포함될 수 없기 때문에 토사 유달 부하량이 감소하였다. 적용 유역은 토양 침식이 낮은 임야로 이루어져 단위유역이 큰 경우에는 임야 비율이 더욱 증가하여 유달 부하량이 감소하게 된 것이다. 적용 유역에서는 30 헥타르의 단위 유역이 가장 적합한 크기로 결정되었다. 강우 유출수량과 총질소, 총인, 생물화학적 산소요구량을 모델에서 예측하였으며 현장 측정치와 적절히 일치하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 모델 결과는 단위유역 크기에 따라 변하는 지형, 토지 이용, 토양분포 변이에 민감하게 변하며, 성공적인 분산형 모델적용을 위하여 최적의 단위유역 크기를 사용하는 것이 매우 중요하다는 결론을 얻었다.
