Seasonal variability of water quality in the upland headwater streams in ten forested catchments (37.0~209.0 ha) was examined from April to November 2021. Here, seven physicochemical parameters were analyzed including pH, electrical conductivity (EC), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphorous (T-P), and BOD/TOC. The parameters were compared with those of lowerland rivers as middle and lower reaches within a watershed. The pH showed was low (6.4~6.9) during all the seasons, however, BOD and BOD/TOC in the fall season were 2-fold higher than in the spring and summer seasons. Based on environmental standards, the water quality level revealed that the upland headwater streams maintained the purity and cleanliness of water except for pH in the summer season. BOD/TOC of all the seasons and BOD of the fall season in the upland headwater streams were higher than that in the lowerland rivers, whereas the rest of the physicochemical parameters in the upland headwater streams were lower than that in the lowerland rivers. Additionally, the water quality level maintained the purity and cleanliness of water as "Good" in two reaches. The unique aspects of our study design enabled us to draw inferences about water quality characteristics with temporal and spatial analysis in upland headwater streams. This design will be useful for the long-term strategy of effective water quality management for integrated upland headwater streams and lowerland rivers within a watershed.

자연형 하천조성 후 5년 이상 경과한 도시지역의 하천(안양천, 양재천, 오산천, 장수천, 학의천)을 대상으로 LAWA (Laenderarbeitsgemeinschaft Wasser, 독일 연방 물관리 연구공동체) 기법을 활용하여 하천의 물리적 구조평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과 소위 자연형 하천 공법이 적용된 대상하천임에도 불구하고 하천의 물리적 구조적 생태성이 개선되지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 특히 대상하천의 종단면의 구조, 하안구조 및 하천변 토지이용도의 항목에서 낮은 등급을 나타냈다. 그 이유로는 하천종단면의 연속성 단절, 하안구조의 다양성 부족 및 하천주변의 인위적 시설물배치 등이다. 아울러 대상하천의 공통적 특징으로 하안에는 거석, 잡석, 블록 등의 견고한 호안재료가 적용되었으며 식재가 이루어졌다. 따라서 앞으로 도심하천의 보다 양호한 생태성 향상을 위해서는 하천의 다양한 물리적 특성을 고려한 자연형 하천 조성이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Growth of cities and an increase in population result in the development-oriented policy, urban streams to lose their natural characteristics and functions by channelization, parking lot construction, and so forth. The streams fall into urban drains, which is the current status of urban streams. Recently, the interest in the stream environment and the ecosystem has been increased, and the efforts have been made to improve the traditional maintenance program for small streams. These efforts lead to the application of the natural recovery systems. This study applied the 240-meter model reach along the Oncheon stream, which locates in Dongrae-gu, Busan city. to analyze the natural recovery system. The efficiency of each system has been analyzed and the future improvements for the systems are presented. The results show that the stream maintenance program should consider the ecological environment. thereby minimizing the environmental effects. When the changes are inevitable, the maintenance program should adopt the methods. which closely simulate the original environmental elements. or are more favorable to the ecosystem.

The temporal and spatial analyses of total nitrogen (TN) fractionation were conducted in order to understand 1) total nitrogen components in streams and 2) their patterns in rainy and dry seasons. The result showed that the concentration of nitrogen components in stream water was lower in non-urban area and getting higher in urban area. Dissolved total nitrogen (DTN) was 95~97.7% of total nitrogen in streams, and the proportion of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and ammonia nitrogen ($NH_3-N$) was higher with increasing urban area. The concentration of total nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen ($NO_3-N$) were highest in winter among four seasons. The result was showed that concentration of $NH_3-N$ was same variation as concentrations of TN and $NO_3-N$ in urban-rural complex and urban areas, except rural areas. During rainy season, concentrations of particulate organic nitrogen (PON) and $NH_3-N$ increased in rural areas and decreased in both urban-rural complex and urban areas. Correlation between total nitrogen components and land uses was positively correlated with site > paddy, and negatively correlated with forest. The variation of total nitrogen concentration was determined by $NO_3-N$ in non-urban areas, by $NO_3-N$ and $NH_3-N$ in urban-rural complex and by $NH_3-N$ in the urban areas.

This study was carried out to investigate the causes of fish kills in the Yudeung Stream in Daejeon, Korea using literature reviews, governmental and our water quality monitoring data of the study site, rainfall data, intensive water quality monitoring during rainfall events, sediment pollutant contents and laboratory bioassay tests. Fish kill in urban streams can be caused by combined effect of reduction in dissolved oxygen concentration, increase in toxic material or increase in turbidity in waterbody due to introduction of surface runoff or effluent of combined sewer overflows after rainfall from the watershed areas. Despite of extensive and intensive field surveys and laboratory tests, it was found that those conventional methods have limitations to identify causes of fish kills in urban streams. It would be necessary to use dynamic water quality modeling to predetermine the range and level of water pollution in the stream and automatic water quality monitoring system that can collect water samples and detect water quality continuously.

수질개선과 하천개수를 통한 자연형하천 조성으로 주민들의 친수공간으로 이용되고 있는 울산시의 5개 도시하천에 대해 식생을 조사하였다. 하천의 기하학적 특성이나 수질 및 제내지 및 제외지 등 주변여건과 식생의 활성화 등과의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 각 하천의 자연형하천 조성시기가 다르고 일천한 관계로 뚜렷한 정량적 상관관계를 얻을 수는 없었으나, 식생의 활성화 정도가 현하천의 수질과 제내지 및 제외지 등 주변 여건에 의한 차이점은 어느 정도 확인할 수 있었다. 자연상태에 가까운 척과천은 식생종류가 다양하였고, 수질과 주변 여건이 좋은 무거천과 명정천은 인위적 유지용수 공급과 개수공사에 의한 인공물이 많지만 식생의 활성화 정도가 좋았다. 반면에 수질이 나쁘거나 하폭과 둔치가 좁은 데도 무리하게 산책로 등을 조성하였던 여천천과 약사천은 식생의 종류가 다양하지 못하였고 활성화도 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

We researched the fauna restoration of 5 urban streams in Ulsan established as ecological streams by improving water quality and river environment. The fauna inhabitation were compared according to the conditions of geometrical feature such as river width, low-water channel width, ect and water quality, water volumn, inland and forceland. The Mugeo cheon has clearly shown the fauna restoration effects resulting from supplying sustainable maintenance water and wastewater treatments. In the Yaksa cheon, on the other hand, the restoration effects were low due to the inflow of wastewater and sledges in some part of stream ever though the improvement of water quality. The Yeocheon cheon was found to have disadvantage on the ecological inhabitations due to supplying the maintenance water with highly concentrated salinity. The fauna restoration effect of the Meongjeong cheon was low due to the inflow of wastewater to the down stream. Therefore by supplying the maintenance water and improving the connection to the Taehwa river at the estuary, better restoration effects could be observed. In the Cheokgwa cheon, which is almost a natural river, the ecological integrity of the fauna population has been maintained quite well. It was concluded that the project to transform urban streams into ecological streams should focus on not only keeping water volume and quality but also maintaining favorable conditions for the migration and settlement of animal species close to the natural state.
