Accumulated annual reservoir sedimentation in Taiwan was 14.6 million m3 in 2010, seriously endangering reservoir safety and the water supply. In addition, the sintering temperature of reservoir-sediment aggregates (RSAs) is very high, and very energy consuming consequently. Therefore, to explore the effects of admixtures on sintering behavior and performance of the aggregates, two different admixtures are blended, waste-glass and municipal sewage sludge, into reservoir sediment to make artificial aggregates. Experimental results show that the lightweight characteristics of waste-glass/reservoir-sediment aggregates (WGRSAs) are more significant than those of sewage sludge/reservoir-sediment aggregates (SSRSAs). Moreover, as sintering temperature increases, the specific gravity of WGRSAs drops more apparently. The optimum sintering temperature of pure reservoir-sediment aggregates (PRSAs), SSRSAs, and WGRSAs was $1150^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, and $1050^{\circ}C$, respectively. The PRSAs are normal weight with better strength; the WGRSAs are lightweight and energy-saving; and the SSRSAs are lightweight with normal strength.

Current urban stream conditions and their restoration projects were investigated by surveying the urban stream management experts in 29 cities with high population density (more than 1,000person/$km^{2}$). The survey results showed that the ratio of covered urban streams decreased by 1.4% (from 14% to 12.6%) in the last 5 years through steady river restoration projects promoted by governments. Nonetheless, 36.3% of 369 urban streams surveyed still report stream depletion problems; therefore, more efforts to alleviate the problems caused by distorted water circulation of urban streams are still necessary. Water depletion in many local urban streams, unlike national rivers, is accelerated due to negligence in stream management, budget shortage, and other reasons. To prevent stream depletion, the use of reclaimed water is suggested as one of the prevention plans. When available amounts of reused sewage are estimated through actual available nationwide sewage discharges of each watershed and instream flow of stream, annual instream flow supply of 780 million $m^{3}$ is expected; 4.8% reduction in the pollution load of public sewer treatment facilities is expected; and the creation of new value through water reuse service is expected. Thus, it is important for the reviews of feasibility and alternatives of water reuse projects for flow augmentation to consider not only investment budget reductions, but also environmental aspects. Also it is necessary to provide the financial support of unified government with strict water quality management policy.

According to the population increase and industrialization, the drinking water source, Han River and other sources, are contaminated by industrial wastewater, domestic sewage, and agricultural discharges. Among the contaminants, and toxic substances, pesticides is most interesting items (or human health Our drinking water has some problems of THMs, Fe, odor, etc., $o many people use groundwater or bottled water. But sometimes there are many reports about groundwater contamination owing to the agricultural chemicals, waste disposal, industrial wastewater. In America, there are about 45,000 groundwave supply company and in korea about 20% of total population are using groundwave as drinking water source. In America, studies about SEE is increasing Instead of liquid- liquid extraction method, because of many advantages of SEE methods. Author tried to investigate SPE methods in the spiked water samples to compare with liquid- liquid extraction method and got the following results. The amount of organic solvents which are used In SPE method is less than 1/10 compared with liquid- liquid method, the analytical duration time is shortened, and the ethyl acetate was good fluent among several organic solvents.

This study was carried out to analyze the disparities of basic living infrastructure between Guns(rural counties), and between Eups/Myuns(rural districts) in Jeollanam-do province. For the purpose of this study, dimensions of regional disparity in basic living structure were measured by 3 components ; road, public water service and sewage disposal. By utilizing the published statistics, this study has examined 8 Guns(counties) containing Eup and Myon in Jeollanam-do province which can represent 4 different rural areal types, respectively, i,e. mountainous, semi-mountainous, flat and seashore areas. The data acquisition time of this study is fixed on end of 2009 year in order for possible collections of the most recent published statistics. It presents evidence on the magnitude and evolution of discussion of regional disparities between Guns(counties), and between Eup & Myon, and between Myons in Jeollanam-do province even though infrastructure provision level of Jeollanam-do rural areas are much more improved than the past. Concludingly, the existing disparities in this area is meaningful and so, it should be seriously reconsidered when deciding local government's budget allocation priority.

Wangsong Reservoir needs a systematic approach that can control water purity and water quality improvement. This study was carried out to assess the seasonal variation of water quality and the effect of pollutant being loaded from watershed in a sallow eutrophic reservoir(Wangsong Reservoir) from March to November, 2011. Wangsong Reservoir, located in Uiwang City, has the capacity of 2 million $m^{3}$ in irrigation water supply with the drainage of 4.2 $km^{2}$. Average concentrations of BOD, COD, T-N, T-P, and Chloropyll-a in Wangsong Reservoir were 5.8 mg/L, 9.7 mg/L, 4.299 mg/L, 0.106 mg/L and 73.1 mg/$m^{3}$, respectively. In the inflow streams and treated sewage of Wangsong Reservoir, the T-N concentrations of 4.114 - 14.619 mg/L were higher than those in the Reservoir and the other pollutants were lower. As a result of investigation, Wangsong Reservoir exceeded the agricultural water standard level due to algal growth and accumulation from the upper streams and sewage. In order to achieve the targeted water quality in Wangsong Reservoir, it is required to be decreased in pollutants of internal and inflow streams.

Recently, separation membranes have been applied to fields such as water supply, sewage treatment, gray water reuse, and air pollution control. Chemical cleaning technology is attracting attention among the methods of reusing these expensive separation membranes. It was found that the separation membrane could be regenerated using chemical cleaning. Specifically, it was found that the use time of the separation membranes regenerated by chemical cleaning was sustainable for more than 1,700 hours. Additionally, it was found that the flux recovery ratio after chemical cleaning was maintained at least 60%. In addition, the flux recovery ratio of HYDREX 4710, an organic membrane cleaner, and 4703, an inorganic membrane cleaner, was 76% and 62%, respectively, showing the highest flux recovery ratio among the chemicals used. Considering that the target raw water of this study is biological secondary treatment water, it was suggested that chemical cleaning could be actively used to regenerate separation membranes in future water treatment.

국내의 상수원으로 사용하는 수질보호구역은 주로 농촌지역인 경우가 많다. 농촌지역의 경우 인구수 및 인구밀도가 높지 않아 하수도 시스템 보급이 열악하여 상수원 관리를 위해서는 농촌지역의 하수처리에 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 농촌지역에 위치한 마을하수도 4개소와 하수처리장의 운전결과를 분석하였다. 마을하수도보다 하수처리장에서 고농도의 오염물질이 유입되었으며, 방류수 수질 기준은 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 마을하수도의 방류수의 오염물질 농도가 하수처리장보다 더 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 처리 효율에서는 median 값으로 유기물(BOD, COD)의 경우 약 5%정도, 영양염류(T-N, T-P)의 경우 최대 30%정도 높게 검출되었다. 또한 오염물질 처리효율에 MLSS, DO 및 체류시간과 같은 생물반응조 운전 인자가 미치는 영향에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과 운전 조건에 따라 오염물질 처리효율이 변하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 농촌지역에서 하수 관리를 위해서는 생물 반응조 운전 조건 등의 유지관리에 주의를 기울여야 한다.

Background: Diarrheal and intestinal infectious disease caused by inadequate drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is not only a great concern in developing countries but also a problem in low-income populations and rural areas in developed countries. In this study, we assessed the exposure to inadequate WASH in Korea and estimated the burden of disease attributable to inadequate WASH. Methods: We used observational data on water supply, drinking water, sewage treatment rate, and hand washing to assess inadequate WASH conditions in Korea, and estimated the level of exposure in the entire population. The disease burden was estimated by applying the cause of death data from death registry and the morbidity data from the national health insurance to the population attributable fraction (PAF) for the disease caused by inappropriate WASH. Results: In 2013, 1.4% of the population were exposed to inadequate drinking water, and 1.0% were living in areas where sewerage was not connected. The frequency of handwashing with soap after contact with excreta was 23.5%. The PAF due to inadequate WASH as a cluster of risk factors was 0.353 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.275-0.417), among which over 90% were attributable to hand hygiene factors that were significantly worse than those in American and European high-income countries. Conclusion: The level of hand hygiene in Korea has yet to be improved to the extent that it shows a significant difference compared to other high-income countries. Therefore, improving the current situation in Korea requires a continuous hand washing campaign and a program aimed at all people. In addition, continuous policy intervention for improvement of sewage treatment facilities in rural areas is required, and water quality control monitoring should be continuously carried out.

하수관거에 지하수가 침투하고 우수가 유입(I/I)되게 되면 하수의 양이 크게 늘어나 하수처리장의 부하가 가중되고, 하수의 처리효율도 크게 감소되기 때문에, 하수 중의 I/I를 알아내는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 산소 및 수소 동위원소를 이용한 I/I 측정가능성 검토를 목적으로 수행되었으며, 이를 위하여 전주시 덕진공원 유역 내 관정 지하수 및 수로수, 상수도 등에 대하여 동위윈소적 조사를 수행하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 전주지역의 상수도는 전주에서 내륙으로 약 40 km 떨어진 고지대에 위치한 용담댐을 수원으로 하기 때문에 지역 강우와는 뚜렷이 다른 동위원소적 특성을 보이고, 시간에 따른 조성의 변화도 거의 없음을 알게 되었다. 하수는 기본적으로 상수도에서 발생하므로, 상수도와 지역강우를 양극단으로 하여 하수로 내 지역강우의 함량을 계산할 수 있다. 이러한 방법으로 덕진공원 유역 내하수로 1개 지점에서 지역강우의 함량을 계산한 결과, 강우가 시기에 따라 하수의 50%에서 90%를 차지하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 계산결과는 오염농도가 높지 않은 하수의 수질을 통하여도 잘 뒷받침된다. 같은 방법으로 계산된 지하수내 상수도의 함량도 약 46%나 되었으며, 이는 상수도의 누수가 중요한 지하수원이 되고 있음을 지시하는 것이다. 이러한 동위원소 조성을 갖는 지하수는 하수로에 유입되어도 하수의 동위원소에는 크게 영향을 주지 않기 때문에 실제로 하수로에 유입되는 우수와 지하수의 량은 계산 결과보다 훨씬 클 것으로 예상된다.
