하천이 바다와 만나는 하구(河口, estuary)지역은 조위의 영향을 강하게 받아 하천 수위의 낙폭이 크고, 하상(河床)의 변동 또한 심하다. 때문에 이러한 감조구간은 홍수위 산정에 있어서도 일반하천에 비해 보다 세심한 주의가 요구된다. 우리나라 4대강 중 한강을 제외한 낙동강, 금강 및 영산강은 하구언 설치로 인해 이미 하구로서의 기능을 상실한 상황이다. 반면 한강 하류 구간은 북한과의 접경지역이라는 지리적, 상황적 특수성으로 인해 하구언 설치가 불가능하였기에 지금까지 감조상태를 유지하고 있다(Park and Baek, 2017). 지금까지 계획홍수위 산정시 일반하천이든 감조하천이든 간에 그 고유의 특성을 고려치 않고 정상-부등류(steady-nonuniform flow) 모의를 하는 것이 일반적인 관례이었다. 하지만 2018년 개정된 하천설계기준에 따르면 감조하천 구간에서는 반드시 부정류(unsteady flow) 모의를 수행하도록 규정하고 있다. 이에 따라 2020년 고시된 한강(팔당댐~하구) 하천기본계획(변경) 보고서에는 부정류해석을 통한 홍수위 산정분이 수록되어 있다. 문제는 "한강하구는 서해조석의 영향을 받는 감조하천이기는 하나 계획홍수량 유하시 한강에 미치는 조위의 영향은 미미하므로..."라는 결론을 도출하면서 부정류해석 결과 대신 부등류해석 결과를 계획홍수위로 결정했다는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 한강의 종점 유도지점을 기점으로 조석을 하류단 경계조건으로 부여하는 부정류 해석을 수행하여 한강하천기본계획(2020)의 홍수위와 비교하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 산정한 홍수위가 하구에서부터 신곡수중보 하류구간까지는 하천기본계획의 그것과 상당한 차이를 보였다. 한강하류 구간은 계획홍수량 발생시에도 조석의 영향을 받는 감조구간이므로 고시된 계획홍수위의 재검토가 필요해 보인다.

Despite the consumption of disinfectants have been increased by COVID-19 pandemic, the fate of the chemicals in aquatic food webs are still unclear. In order to understand the trophic transfer of the chemicals, the concentration of disinfectants including six benzalkonium chloride (BACs) and five didecyldimethylammonium chlorides(DDACs) were measured at the Geum (2020), Han (2021), and Yeongsan River (2021), before and after rainfall. The highest concentration of ∑BACs (mainly C12 and C14) and ∑DDACs (mainly C10 and C14) were observed in the Han River, followed by Yeongsan River, Geum River Estuary, and Gapcheon. After rainfalls, both concentration and detection frequency were decreased in all sites. Although the BAC and DDAC seems to be accumulated in organisms, they were bio-diluted rather than magnified in the aquatic food web with the biomagnification factor(BMF) of less than 1, trophic magnification slope (TMS) from -0.236 to 0.001, and trophic magnification factor(TMF) from 0.85 to 1.01.

Rivers continuously transport terrestrial organic carbon matter to the estuary and the ocean, and they play a critical role in productivity and biodiversity in the marine ecosystem as well as the global carbon cycle. The amount of terrestrial organic carbon transporting from the rivers to ocean is an essential piece of information, not only for the marine ecosystem management but also the carbon budget within catchment. However, this phenomenon is still not well understood. Most large rivers in Korea have a well-established national monitoring system of the river flow and the TOC (Total Organic Carbon) concentration from the mountain to the river mouth, which are fundamental for estimating the amount of the TOC flux. We estimated the flux of the total terrestrial organic carbon of five large rivers which flow out to the Yellow Sea, using the data of the national monitoring system (the monthly mean TOC concentration and the monthly runoff of river flow). We quantified the annual TOC flux of the five rivers, showing their results in the following order: the Han River ($18.0{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>>Geum River ($5.9{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>Yeongsan River ($2.6{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>Sumjin River ($2.0{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$)>>Tamjin River ($0.2{\times}10^9gC\;yr^{-1}$). The amount of the Han River, which is the highest in the Korean rivers, corresponds to be 4% of the annual total TOC flux of in the Yellow River, and moreover, to be 0.6% of Yangtze River.

Direct estimation of the pollutant load(PL) should be carried out by the data filling in the missing intervals using an appropriate method because it is impossible in which the flow discharge(water quantity) or water quality(WQ) time-series data set have the missing intervals. In this study, the several methods estimating the water quality in the missing periods are suggested and the WQ and pollutants load change patterns are compared and evaluated based on the reproducible degree of the available data change patterns. The most appropriate method is finally suggested and the contribution factor deciding the influence degree and the PL characteristics of the river estuary is also suggested. Based on the PL estimation results using the several methods, the interpolation method considering the fluctuation of the available WQ data is shown to be most efficient. The PL patterns of the Han river estuary is classified as the discharge-dominated type. The data filling process is inevitable and the WQ estimation using the efficient and effective method should be carried out in order to estimate reasonable PL.

This study selected five observational stations in the normal direction of Jinu-do(island) shoreline and observed water temperature, electrical conductivity and pressure from March, 2012 to January, 2013(about 11 months) and attempted to see the variation characteristics of ground watertable. This study wants to know : 1) External environment force factors(tide, climate, wave etc.) affecting ground watertable variation through time series and correlation analysis. 2) Spatial variations of ground watertable and electrical conductivity change by storm event. First, we found that the station at the intertidal zone was strongly affected by wave and tide level and the stations at sand dune and vegetation zone was affected by precipitation and tide level through time series data and correlation analysis. Second, during the storm event, we found that ground watertable and electrical conductivity are stabilized at the start line of sand dune and vegetation zone and transition zone between freshwater layer and seawater layer exists in the experiment area and is about 50~70 m from coastline of the south side of Jinu-do(island).

This study was conducted to clarify the community characteristics of wintering waterbirds in Geum River from September, 2011 to March, 2012 (1st) and from September, 2012 to March, 2013 (2nd). 63 species of waterbirds including raptors were observed during the survey. 50 species of 188,673 individuals recorded during the first survey, and 56 species of 116,611 individuals were recorded during the second survey. The dominant species was high dominance dabbling ducks by Baikal Teals, Mallards, Spot-billed Ducks, Greater White-fronted Geese, Black-tailed Gulls and Common Shelducks. We classified the wintering waterbirds into 9 taxa based on the similar ecological characteristics and analyzed the correlation with temperature. As a result, dabbling ducks, diving ducks and raptors showed positive correlation and herons and waders showed negative correlation. Geese, swans and dabbling ducks were high habitat utilization ratio at the Geumgang estuary barrage upstream area, and diving ducks, herons, waders and gulls were high habitat utilization ratio at the Geumgang estuary barrage downstream area.

A specimen of Redigobius bikolanus (29.0 mm SL) belonging to the family Gobiidae was collected by a hand net from the estuary of Changgo-cheon (river) in Andeok-myeon, Jeju Island, Korea. This specimen was characterized by having 26 lateral line scales, 7 predorsal scales, 7 transverse scales, anterior oculoscapular canal, preopercular canal, and four black spots between origin of anal fin and lower origin of caudal fin. The morphological characteristics of the specimen well matched those of Redigobius bikolanus previously reported. Thus, we newly add this species to the list of Korean fish fauna and propose its new Korean name, "Jeom-bak-i-mang-duk".

To investigate temporal and spatial variations of hydrodynamics and environmental conditions in Gyeonggi Bay, including Han River estuary, numerical experiments were performed using 3-dimensional fine grid numerical ocean model. The model successfully reproduced the physical phenomena already known in Gyeonggi Bay where tide and fresh water discharge are dominant forcings. The calculated harmonic constants of tide and tidal current agreed well with those of observations at nine tide stations and two tidal current stations. Tidal asymmetries along the Yeomha Waterway, mainly caused by non-linear effect, were well reproduced and agreed well with observations. Time series of salinity at four stations(A, B, C and D) and horizontal distributions of monthly averaged salinity show that Gyodong and Seokmo Waterways play an important role in fresh water discharge into the Gyeonggi Bay rather than Yeomha Waterway.

하구는 담수와 해수가 만나 넓은 갯벌과 기수역을 형성하여 각종 생물의 서식지이자 어류의 산란지로 이용되는 생태학적으로 중요한 지역이다. 특히 한강 하구는 국내 4 대강 가운데 유일하게 하구둑이 설치되어 있지 않아 조수의 출입이 자유롭고 민간인 접근이 통제되어 있어 자연적인 하천지형과 기수역 생태계가 비교적 잘 보전된 구역이다. 본 연구의 모의영역은 한강 하류부로 상류 경계단은 행주대교, 하류 경계단은 전류단 수위표가 위치한 경기도 연천군 전곡읍 전곡 사랑교 부근으로 설정하였다. 지형자료는 한국건설기술연구원에서 2009년 8월 홍수사상 전 후에 대해 측량한 자료를 사용하였다. 한강 하구역에 대한 지형 격자를 구성하기 위하여 RAMS 전후 처리기인 RAMS-GUI를 사용하였으며, 구성된 지형 격자의 절점 수는 2,354개, 요소 수는 2,145개로 삼각요소와 사각요소가 혼용되어 있다. 구성된 격자망을 이용하여 2차원 하상변동 해석 모형인 SED-2D 모의를 통해 홍수사상에 의한 한강 하구부의 하상변동을 살펴보았다. SED-2D 모형은 미국 육군 공변단의 WES와 미 연방 도로국이 연계하여 개발되어 현재 국내외 2차원 하천해석에서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 모형 중 하나이다. 하상변동 해석모형인 SED-2D를 통해 모의된 하상 변동량을 실제 측량된 홍수 전 후의 지형자료와 비교함으로써 모형의 성능을 분석하였다. 분석결과 SED-2D 모형의 경우 침식에 의한 하상변동이 모의되지 않았지만, 전반적인 하상변동 경향을 살펴볼 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

This study investigated the yearly variation of pollutant loads outflowing from six watershed of Yeong-il Bay and compared the relationship of pollutant load and water quality, and estimated the Inner productivity of Yeong-Il Bay by using ${\Delta}COD$ method which analysis nonlinear process of water quality. As the estimated results for the pollutant loads of Yeong-Il Bay, total COD load outflowing from Hyeong-san river in flood season(summer) of 2001 year was 2275.0 kg/hr and in dry(low water) season(winter) 852.8 kg/hr, respectively. Load quantity in flood season was about 2.67 times than that in dry season. And as the calculated results of the net-flux of water for seven divisions, it showed that the net-flux of water increased for the divisions of the north coast and inner sea of Yeong-Il Bay but decreased for the south coast. On the contrary, for the cases which water quantity increase from land, the net-flux of water in estuary front of Hyeong-san river decreased but outflowing quantity of that though division of the south coast of Homi-got increased. Finally, this study compared the Inner productions for flood and dry season of Yeong-il Bay by using ${\Delta}COD$ method.
