It takes lots of time and labor if a worker have to measure the water quality at a certain but designated time every day in an un-automated aqua farm. In addition, if the equipment is soaked in the sea water consistently, it will be contaminated by diverse floating matters and barnacles, and it often becomes mal-functional within 2~3 months. Therefore, we need to develop a system with which the sensed data could be checked in real time and operated automatically, while preventing the contamination of the sensor, a crucial component for water quality measuring equipment, as much as possible, and increasing the replacement cycle. We have developed a non-cleaning water quality measuring equipment and its software which are used in the fishery household of offshore aqua farms. By providing the workers with a mobile application which has a function of monitoring the water quality in real time, they can check the situation directly without going to the fishery household.

도시 개발로 인한 영향을 최소화하여 물 순환 체계를 개선하기 위해서는 적극적인 강우유출수 관리가 필수적이다. 최근에는 도시의 강우유출수 관리를 위한 저영향개발(Low Impact Development, LID) 기법이 합리적인 대안으로 주목받고 있다. Storm Water Management Model(SWMM)은 LID 모듈을 통해 다양한 GI(Green Infra) 시설에 대한 모의 기능을 제공하고 있어 도시 물순환 개선 사업에 적극 활용되고 있다. 그러나 SWMM을 이용하여 GI 시설을 모의하기 위해서는 복잡한 유역 설정과 GI 시설 배치에 많은 어려움이 존재한다. 본 연구에서는 GI 시설의 핵심적인 수문 프로세스를 구현하면서도 상대적으로 간단하게 GI 시설의 성능을 평가할 수 있는 모형이 제안된다. 제안된 모형은 수문학적 추적을 기반으로 작동되므로 GI 시설의 침투, 저류, 증발산을 모두 반영할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 GI 시설에 의한 도시 물순환 개선 효과를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있다. 제안된 모형의 결과와 SWMM의 결과를 비교함으로써 제안된 모형의 적용성을 검증하였다. 더붙여서 SWMM의 투수성 포장 모의에서 발생되는 오류에 대한 논의가 포함된다.

Irrigation return flow is defined as the excess of irrigation water that is not evapotranspirated by direct surface drainage, and which returns to an aquifer. It is important to quantitatively estimate the irrigation return flow of the water cycle in an agricultural watershed. However, the previous studies on irrigation return flow rates are limitations in quantifying the return flow rate by region. Therefore, simulating irrigation return flow by accounting for various water loss rates derived from agricultural practices is necessary while the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of cultivated canal-irrigated watersheds. In this study, the irrigation return flow rate of agricultural water, especially for the entire agricultural watershed, was estimated using the SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) module from 2010 to 2019 for the Madun reservoir located in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do. The results of SWMM simulation and water balance analysis estimated irrigation return flow rate. The estimated average annual irrigation return flow ratio during the period from 2010 to 2019 was approximately 55.3% of the annual irrigation amounts of which 35.9% was rapid return flow and 19.4% was delayed return flow. Based on these results, the hydrologic and hydraulic modeling approach can provide a valuable approach for estimating the irrigation return flow under different hydrological and water management conditions.

Three wildfires severely damaged local towns and forests in Gangwon-do, South Korea in 2019 April 4-5. Local hydrological regime could be greatly altered by the wildfires, therefore it is important to assess its damage (e.g. area and severity) and also resultant changes in hydrological fluxes. We retrieved the Normalized-Burned Ratio (NBR) index using remote-sensing data (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 500-m 8-day surface reflectance data), and delineated the damaged-area based on the difference in the NBR (dNBR) before and after the wildfires. We then estimated changes in the annual evapotranspiration (AET) in 2019 using the MODIS evapotranspiration data (500-m 8-day). It was found that the damaged-area of the three wildfires was 29.50 km^2 in total, which take up 1.00-6.19% area of five catchments. It was estimated that the AET would be decreased as 0.05-1.56% over those five catchments, as compared to the pre-fire AET (2004-2018). The impact of the wildfires on the catchment AET was less severe than expected (i.e. up to 1.56%) mostly because two big wildfires were distributed across two catchments respectively (i.e. four catchments for the two wildfires) and the other wildfire was small and not severe. This study highlights the importance of assessing the area and severity of a wildfire when estimating its impact on the local hydrological cycle.

본 연구의 목적은 갑천 유역의 물순환 분석 시스템 구축 및 효과적인 지하수 관리에 활용하기 위하여 지하수 이용량을 분석하고 그 특성을 파악하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 지하수이용실태조사 자료를 토대로 관정개수와 이용량의 누적밀도에 의해 형성되는 관계를 분석하고, 유역을 대표할 수 있는 총 이용량 및 관정 개소수를 파악하였다. 추출된 관정의 이용량 세부정보들에 따라 이용량의 공간적 분포 특성을 파악하고, 유역별 함양량과 지하수 이용량을 비교함으로써 갑천 유역의 지하수자원 관리의 적정성을 평가하였다. 평가결과에 따르면, 약 25%의 관정이 전 지하수 이용량의 90%를 대표하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 대전 도심지 소유역의 지하수 이용량은 유역 유출 모형에서 평가된 해당 유역의 지하수 함양량보다 1.4배$\sim$11.1배 상회하고 있으며, 주요 하천 유역별로는 대전천 및 유등천이 갑천 유역의 함양량 대비 이용량 비율이 1.9배$\sim$2.3배 높아 이들 지역의 지하수 적정관리가 시급한 실정으로 평가되었다. 본 연구 결과들은 향후 갑천 유역의 지하수 이용량에 따른 지하수 유동 체계, 하천 유출량 그리고 물순환 변화에 대한 분석에 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

도림천의 최상류인 관악산에 서울대학교가 건설되면서 관악산 유역은 일종의 도시화를 겪어왔으며, 폭우 시 하류 하천의 수량과 수질에 악영향을 미치는 사례 등 물순환 왜곡이 우려되어왔다. 대부분의 캠퍼스 유역이 그렇듯 물순환과 관련된 자료가 절대적으로 미흡하였기에 복합기상관측장비 Atmos-41을 도입함으로써 수문·기상학적 자료를 구축하여 본 연구를 시작하였다. Atmos-41의 관측 결과는 기상청 자료와 비교하여 통계적 특성과 월별 변동성에 따른 신뢰구간을 분석하여 검증하였다. 관악캠퍼스의 물순환은 SWMM으로 평가하였는데 표면유출량과 침투량 모의값은 동일 유역의 과거 연구 결과를 통해 검증하였고, 잠재증발산량은 Atmos-41의 관측 자료와 비교하여 검증하였다. 계산된 SWMM 잠재증발산량은 기온이 낮은 기간에 대해서는 과소 추정되는 경향이 있어, 다중회귀분석을 통해 강수량, 상대습도, 풍속에 대한 변동을 고려할 수 있도록 보정하였다. 그 결과 Atmos-41의 잠재증발산량과 비교했을 때 R²가 0.54에서 0.80으로 개선되었다. 관악산 유역의 캠퍼스화로 인한 물순환 변화율은 표면유출률의 15.7% 증가, 침투율의 14.2% 감소, 그리고 증발량의 1.6% 감소를 초래한 것으로 확인하였다. 결론적으로 서울대학교가 지속가능한 캠퍼스로 나아가고 하류 유역의 안전성 확보를 위해 현재의 물순환 변화율을 유지할 것을 제안하며, Atmos-41의 지속적인 관측 결과는 추후 관악캠퍼스 물순환 연구의 기초 자료로 활용성이 높을 것이라 기대된다.

Water management in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs) is one of the most challenging issues. Freeze start-up in the automotive applications is also important research topic in the PEMFC field. Transportation of proton and separation of reactant gases are main roles of polymer electrolyte membranes. It has been known that water in the membrane conducts as a vehicle for the proton transportation. At sub-zero temperature, the frozen water blocks the access of reactant gases to the active sites of electrode as well as occurs the physical destruction of fuel cell structures. In this study, property changes of electrolyte membranes in the freeze conditions $(at\;-25^{\circ}C)$ were investigated. For the various amount of water contained membranes, the property changes, especially for the proton conductivity, were observed after several times of freeze/thaw$(-25\~80^{\circ}C)$ cycle.

Under climate change and urbanization, rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems are emerging as an alternative source of water supply because of growing concern about water sustainability. RWH systems can satisfy the various watering needs and provide the environmental benefits of lessening the damages from flood, drought, and runoff. The economic success of a RWH system is vitally concerned with the determination of the design capacity of storage tank to be built in the system. The design capacity is determined by the factors of average annual rainfall, period of water scarcity, and water price during the whole life-cycles. Despite the high uncertainties inherent in these factors, the current engineering design of RWH system construction often assumes that storage tanks should be built all at once. This assumption implicitly ignores the managerial flexibility in responds to the future as new information comes out-the right to build storage tanks stage by stage depending on the evolution of demand. This study evaluates the value of a multistage storage tank construction using a real option approach. A case study involving a typical RWH system construction in Jeonju, the Republic of Korea is conducted. The managerial flexibility obtained from the real option perspective allows engineers to develop investment strategies to better cope with the issue of water sustainability.

The gonad index, reproductive cycle and first sexual maturity of Sinonovacula constricta collected from Simpo, Kimje-gun, Korea were investigated by histological analysis. The gonad index(GI) in both sexes of S. constricta increased from April and reached a maximum in July when the water temperature rapidly increased. And then, the GI values gradually decreased by spawning from August through October. Monthly variations in the GI showed a close relationship with ovarian development. The reproductive cycle in females and males can be classified into five successive stages: early active stage(March to June), late active stage(May to July), ripe stage(July to September), partially spawned stage(August to October), spent/inactive stage(October to March). The percentage of first sexual maturations in female and male clams of 50.1-60.0 mm in shell length was over 50%, and for clams over 70.1 mm in shell length, it was 100%. Because harvesting clams < 50.1 mm in shell length could potentially cause a drastic reduction in recruitment, a measure including a prohibitory fishing size should be taken for adequate improved fisheries resource management.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the way how to improve the school green building certification system based on life cycle assessment methodology and to assess $LCCO_2$ in outline. Green Building Certification System for School is comprised of 7 categories and 39 items. 7 categories include Land use and Transport, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Water, Management, Ecology, Indoor environmental quality. School is a public facility for students. So Green Building Certification System for School must have educational point of view adding to energy saving, reduction of greenhouse gas emission, etc. Also it needs to be classified into three categories ; kindergarten, elementar/middl/high school and university. Improvement plans for items are as follows ; energy consumption and $LCCO_2$ assessment considering life cycle, deletion or integration of duplicate items by comparing other systems, application of passive solar systems, consideration of the law and standards change, and selection of items considering specific building use.
