The dynamics of water quality with the storm events were analyzed in a small reservoir for irrigation, Lake Wangkung. Water quality of the inflowing stream fluctuated seasonally with the variation of flow rate. Thermal stratification was consistent from April to October below 2 m depths and anoxic layer was developed below 2 m depth in summer. The unique feature of temperature showed that thermal stratification was disrupted by a heavy rain event during monsoon, but hypolimnetic hypoxia were reestablished after a few days. Phosphorus and nitrogen increased immediately following storm events. The marked increase may be due to the input of P-rich storm runoff from the watershed. Internal phosphorus loading can be one of the explanations for TP increases in summer. When there was a storm, total populations of phytoplankton and zooplankton was reduced immediately following the storm, indicating possible flushing of algae and zooplankton. After a lag period of low-density the plankton population bloomed to a peak again within five days after the storm. Turbid water in lake became clear again which coincided with the time of the phytoplankton buildup. The results demonstrate that water quality is regulated greatly by rainfall intensity in Lake Wangkung.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the thermal and chemical stratification in Lake Paldang 2013-2018 weekly using Schmidt's stability index (SSI) and the index of chemical stratification (IC-i). The annual average for SSI was 19.1 g cm/㎠ with the maximum value of 45.3 g cm/㎠ in the summer and the minimum value of 4.8 g cm/㎠ in fall-winter showing seasonal differences as well as increased vertical mixing in the summer. The lake stability increased higher in 2016 as compared with the other period. The most influential factors of thermal stratification were temperature and heavy rainfall. Especially, high water temperature and a prolonged residence duration caused by reduced rainfall and inflows could result in an increase of the stratification period. While decreasing inflow and outflow at the end of the rainfall, the thermal stratification was restrengthened within 7-14 days, and then stabilized rapidly before the rainfall. IC-DO increased with high air temperature in the spring and fall-winter. However increasing sunshine duration and residence time and decreasing rate of outflow caused an increase of IC-DO in the summer. Rainfall (less than 800 mm/year) and discharge (less than 200 CMS) significantly declined in 2015 resulting in IC-DO (0.77) increased more than three times over the other years and bottom water hypoxia occurred. The SSI and IC-i used in this study could be applied to other lakes to understand changes in stratification and mixing dynamics.

연안환경의 영양염 순환에서 저층에서의 영양염 재생산(regeneration)은 주요한 영양염 공급원 중 하나이다. 진해만 저층 영양염의 거동을 살펴보기 위해 2004년부터 2012년까지 9년간 진해만 내 14개 정점의 수질자료를 분석하였다. 저층의 용존무기질소, 인산염인, 규산염규소는 계절적 변동성을 나타내었고, 하계에 가장 높은 농도를 보였다. 특히, 빈산소 수괴(hypoxia) 형성 시기의 평균 영양염 농도는 정상산소상태(normoxia) 시기에 비해 약 2배 더 높게 나타났다. 하계 진해만의 저층 용존무기질소, 인산염인, 규산염규소의 농도는 재생산에 의해 모두 높은 경향을 보였으나, 공간적 농도 분포는 차이를 나타내었다. 용존무기질소와 인산염인은 마산만에서 가장 높은 농도를 보이는 반면 규산염규소는 마산만 뿐만 아니라 진해만 중심부에서도 높은 농도를 나타내었다. 또한 다른 영양염에 비해 규산염규소는 전 계절 동안 저층에서의 재생산이 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 시계열 분석 결과 9년간 용존무기질소의 농도는 약 $14{\mu}M$에서 $6{\mu}M$로 뚜렷한 감소를 나타내었다. 용존무기질소의 감소로 인해 진해만 저층의 Si/N 비는 약 1에서 3으로 증가된 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 1993년부터 1994년까지 대청호의 17개 지점에서 계절적 산소농도 및 심층 산소 결핍율을 조사하였다. 1993년 본류로부터의 유입수는 7${\sim}$8월의 장마철에 최대를 보였으며, 이는 상류의 수온 성층 및 무산소층을 파괴하여, 심층 무산소대는 호수 중 하류역에 제한되었다. 이 기간동안 무산소충은 호수전체 부피의 10%이하에 불과하였다. 반면, 1994년 하절기에 무산소충은 호수전역에 걸쳐 분포하였고, 산소포화도는 30% 이하를 유지하였으며, 무산소대의 체적은 수체 총부피의 85%를 차지하였다. 호수내 산소의 급격한 감소는 냉수성 어종(빙어)의 대량폐사를 야기시켰다. 하절기동안 상대적 산소결핍도(Relative Areal Oxygen Deficit, RAOD)는 1993년에 $-0.024\;mg\;O_2\;cm^{-2}\;d^{-1}$로 산소함량이 증가한 반면, 1994년에는 $-0.080\;mg\;O_2\;cm^{-2}\;d^{-1}$로서 산소의 빠른 감소율을 보였다. 계산된 무산소도(Anoxic Factor, AF)는 RAOD와 동일 페턴을 보였으며, 1993보다 1994년에 50 d 이상 증가를 보였다. 수심별 평균 여름 산소농도의 계산에 따르면, 1993년의 경우 대부분지점에서 강(River)의 특성 ($6{\sim}11\;mg/l\;DO$)을 보인 반면, 1994에는 수체 전역에서 전형적인 호수특성 (<4mg/l DO)을 보였다. 유입량에 대한 용존산소의 회기분석에 따르면, 산소 변화는 장마철유입량의 크기에 의해 결정되었다($R^2\;=\;0.99$). 이런 결과는 대청호에서 하절기 용존산소를 조절하는 1차적 요인이 하절기 강우의 강도라는 사실을 제시한다.

This study examined the ef ects of freshwater discharge by artificial dikes from the Kanwol and Bunam lakes on the dynamics in the Chunsu Bay, Yellow Sea, Korea, during the summer season based on three-dimensional numerical modeling experiments. Model performances were evaluated in terms of skill scores for tidal elevation, velocity, temperature, and salinity and these scores mostly exceeded 90 %. The variability in residual currents before and after the freshwater discharge was examined. The large amount of lake water discharge through artificial dikes may result in a dramatically changed density field in the Chunsu Bay, leading to an estuarine circulation system. The density-driven current formed as a result of the freshwater inflow through the artificial dikes (Kanwol/Bunam) caused a partial change in the tidal circulation and a change in the scale and location of paired residual eddies. The stratification formed by strengthened static stability following the freshwater discharge led to a dramatic increase in the Richardson number and lasted for a few weeks. The strong stratification suppressed the vertical flux and inhibited surface aerated water mixing with bottom water. This phenomenon would have direct and indirect impacts on the marine environment such as hypoxia/anoxia formation at the bottom.

This study focused an water quality response to land-based pollution loads and the appropriate pollutant load reduction in Chinhae Bay using an eco-hydrodynamic model. Land-based discharge foam urban areas, industrial complex and sewage treatment plant was the greatest contributor to cause red-tide blooms and summer hypoxia. Tidal currents velocity af the ebb tide was about 10 cm/s stronger than that of the flood tide. A residual current was simulated to. have a slightly complicated pattern with ranging from 0.1 to. 2.7 cm/s. In Masan Bay, pollutant materials cannot flaw from the inner to the outer bay easily because af residual currents flaw southward at surface and northward at the bottom. The simulation results of COD distribution showedhigh concentrations aver 3 mg/L in the inner part of Masan Bay related pollutant discharge, and charge, and lower levels less than 1.5mg/L in the central part of Chinhae Bay. For improvement water quality in Chinhae Bay, it is necessary to reduce the organic and inorganic loads from paint sources by mare than 50% and ameliorate severe polluted sediment.

We investigated the temporal variations of heterotrophic dinoflagellates (hereafter HDNF) and photosynthetic dinoflagellates (hereafter PDNF) from 14 June to 4 September 2003 at a single station in Jangmok Bay. We took water samples 47 times from 2 depths (surface and bottom layers) at hide tide. A total of 63 species were encountered and in general the most abundant genera were Prorocentrum and Protoperidinium. The abundance of PDNF and HDNF was in the range of $0.04{\sim}55.8{\times}10^4$ cells/L and in the range of $0.01{\sim}4.35{\times}10^4$ cells/L, respectively. The mean abundance of PDNF was approximately 7 times higher than that of HDNF, and was higher in the surface layer where has enough irradiance for photosynthesis than in the bottom layer. The total dinoflagellate abundance was higher in the NLP (nitrogen limitation period) than in the SLP (silicate limitation period), and the abundance in the hypoxic conditions was similar to that in the normal conditions. The Shannon-Weaver species diversity index were slightly higher in the bottom layer, the SLP and the hypoxic conditions. The PDNF abundance were correlated with temperature, DO, total inorganic nitrogen and phosphate in the whole water column, and the HDNF abundance was significantly correlated with temperature, salinity and DO. This study shows that the dinoflagellate abundance might be affected by abiotic factors such as irradiance, temperature, salinity, DO and the concentrations of inorganic nutrients, and provides baseline information for further studies on plankton dynamics in Jangmok Bay.

The Yeongsan River estuary was altered by a sea dike built in 1981 and the sluice gates in the dike were extended recently in 2014. The construction has caused changes in water properties and hydrodynamics and also produced disturbances including hypoxia and algal blooms. We analyzed the water quality and chlorophyll-a data (2009-2018) collected seasonally at 3 stations (Sts. 1-3) along the channel of the estuary by the Marine Environmental Monitoring System. Variations in water quality and chlorophyll-a (an index of phytoplankton biomass) were examined and their stressors were also identified by statistics including correlation and multivariate principal component analyses (PCA). The water quality was mainly affected by freshwater discharge from the dike. Salinity, nutrients and chlorophyll-a were especially affected by the discharge and the effect enhanced during summer and at the upper region near the sea dike decreasing downstream. Three factors were extracted for each station in the PCA accounting for 66.07-72.42% of the variations. The first was an external factor associated with freshwater discharge and the second and third were seasonal or biological factors. The results indicate that the water quality is more affected by short-termed and episodic events such as freshwater discharge than seasonal events and the influence of freshwater discharge on water quality is more extensive than that previously reported. This suggests that the boundary of the estuary should be extended to take into account the findings of this study and a management strategy linked to the freshwater zone is required to manage the integrity and water quality of the Yeongsan River estuary.
