  • Since the end of the 1990s, sewer pipe improvement works have been going on: most septic tanks have been thrown away and discarded. These discarded septic tanks amounts up to 370,000 based on the project plan 2005-2008: it is a serious squander of nation's resources, a contaminating means that buries toxins under soil, and a cause of a expensive waste. Research on recycling of discarded septic tank as a new resource is in urgent need. This research suggests plans to recycle discarded septic tank as a rainwater management facility, solutions to water cycle recovery in the limelight, and economic analysis of the plan. In the case of a recycling discarded septic tank as a rainwater management facility will socially benefit to support economical adequacy, discard cost saving of septic tank and water supply and sewage cost reduction will come out. Consequently a rainwater management facility converted from a discarded septic tank leads to decentralization of the rainwater management system, which anticipates a positive effect on recovery of urban water cycle.

  • Besides insufficient water, water contamination confronts us with 'water crises' of both quantity and quality. However, the daily water consumption per capita of Korea is greater than that of other developed countries. Because of the current low water price, which is lower than a half of production cost, not only does it become difficult to cope promptly with rapidly increasing water demand and water contamination, but it also causes waste of water. We should, therefore, switch over from supply side management-oriented policy to demand side management-oriented policy through a raise of the water rate. This study carries out a cost analysis based on fair return method which is the principle of water pricing in Korea, and it estimates, through equilibrium analysis, long run marginal cost(LRMC), which satisfies allocative efficiency and reflects true social cost to additional one-unit water supply. Based on the results, this study proposes that the estimated LRMC is the optimal price level in water pricing, which is the most important of the demand side management policies. In the end, water conservation effect, price pervasive effect, and social welfare effect are analyzed.

감조하천에 연결된 하수처리장 방류구의 거품 형성기작 해석 및 거품발생 저감기술의 실험적 현장적용 (Explanation of Foaming Mechanism and Experimental Application of Foam Reduction Techniques in the Treated Wastewater Outlet of Wastewater Treatment Plant Connected to a Tidal River, Korea)

  • 본 연구는 감조하천과 연결된 하수처리장 방류구에서 발생하는 거품의 형성기작 해석과 저감기술의 실험적용을 위하여 2015년 3월부터 2016년 7월까지 수행하였다. 거품은 방류구와 하천 수면 사이의 낙차에 의한 공기연행과 거품확산방지막에 의한 내부축적이 원인이었다. 특히 썰물 때와 방류량이 많을 때에 거품성장이 가장 활발하였다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 방류수로와 방류구에 각각 미세스크린 망과 수중방류 인공수로장치를 각각 설치한 후 실험하였다. 거품 저감효과는 각각 약 85.0~92.0%, 70.7~85.6% 범위였다. 또한, 거품뿐만 아니라 소음 등 부가적인 문제점도 해결할 수 있었고, 무엇보다도 민원예방에 기여할 것으로 본다. 본 연구는 단일 하수처리장을 대상으로 하였으나, 국내 다른 하수처리장의 유사한 사례에도 응용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • The goal of the present research was to develop a mean to determine indices of drought warning and emergency necessary to manage drought and establish water supply contingency plan for the municipal and industrial water supply system in urban areas. To do this, we worked on the Sayun catchment which is the main water source of Ulsan and used measured hydrologic data (storage, inflow, supply, outflow) from 1980 to 1996. The indices of drought calculated by the method of Phillips drought index based only on monthly precipitation do not pertinently represent drought phenomena in case water supply is from dam or reservoir in an urban area. Therefor, we developed the drought index technique including inflow, storage, outflow and supply which are the chief factors of drought management. The result showed that the method of Phillips drought index considering the capacity of water supply was excellent when applied to practical drought phenomena.

  • GIS-based integrated management system was developed for the treated wastewater to be reused as agricultural water. The major scopes of this research includes developing different types of system such as connecting data of wastewater treatment plants to data of hydraulic structures and paddy field ; separating spatial data into the watershed boundary and the agricultural water boundary ; and estimating applicable site for reuse. This system can enable to provide more scientific support to manage information of effluent and agricultural data utilizing GIS techniques.

  • In this study, Back Tracing Calculation Method was developed to determine the leakage location and leakage amount. Previously developed determination method of monitoring location and newly developed Back Tracing Calculation Method were applied to the sample pipe network and real size pilot plant. After leakage was assumed in the pilot plant, leakage location and leakage amount could be traced by Back Tracing Calculation Method. From the results, it was found that Back Tracing Calculation Method can be applied for the leakage detection in water distribution system. Furthermore, this method can be applied for the pressure management or leakage detection as a pressure control method in water distribution system.

  • A special concern is paid to the risks with which small-sized water resources systems are confronted in supplying water in the far future. Taking the Gwangdong dam reservoir as a case study, the authors seek to understand demand-side and supply-side disturbances of a reservoir, which, respectively, corresponds to effects of water demand changes on the intake amount and those of climate changes on the inflow amount. In result, it is demonstrated that both disturbances in the next 50 years are almost unpredictable. Yet the projection ranges, thought of as relatively reliable information that models offer, reveal that severity and period of water shortage is very likely to change. It is therefore concluded that water resources management requires more rigorous approaches to overcoming high uncertainties. The methods and models for projecting those disturbances are selected, based on practicality and applicability. Nevertheless, they show a large usefulness, especially in dealing with data shortage and reducing the needs for expensive modeling resources.
