Periphyton is known to be one of major primary producers for river ecosystem. While the growth of periphyton usually observed on the stone surface in gravel river, the large growth of periphyton is sometimes seen even in sand river with relatively small river discharge. In the present study, field observations and numerical simulations were performed to investigate the growth of periphyton in sand river. In the field observation, the growth of periphyton on fixed sand bed was measured weekly. The results of the field observations show that the large growth of periphyton occurs in sand river until the bed material sands have not moved. An integrated numerical simulation model is presented to describe the growth of periphyton at observed river reach, and a series of numerical simulations were performed to study the effect of river discharge on growth of periphyton in the sand river. The results of the numerical simulations show that the net primary production of periphyton decreases with the river discharge. These results suggest that the reduction of river discharge at ordinary water stage strongly affects the primary productivity of periphyton even in sand river.

This study was carried out to assay the relationships between empirical factors and water quality in 23 agricultural reservoirs. Based on the trophic state index (TSI) deviation analysis, phosphorus in type II and III was the primary limiting factor on algal growth. BOD, COD, TP and chl.a concentration in type III reservoirs showed higher concentration than those of other types, while SS and TN concentration was no noticeable difference among three types. Characteristics of type III reservoirs showed large reservoir surface and drainage area, large surface area to volume (SAV) ratio, small drainage area to reservoir area (DA/RA) ratio, relatively old age, large paddy field and upland field to drainage area ratio (Mean 17.4%) and high generation and discharge loads compared to other types of reservoirs. In type I and II reservoirs, trends of BOD, TN, TP concentration in water column, were similar to those of the discharge load of pollutants. Although type II reservoirs generally showed low phosphorus discharge loads compared to type I reservoirs, TP and chl.a concentration in water column was greater than that of type I. Characteristics of type II reservoirs showed relatively large SAV ratio and old age compared to type I reservoirs and was similar to those of type III including eutrophic reservoirs.

In this study, hydraulic model same as natural channel with junction area and curved reach is constructed, and after that the variation of difference of the water surface elevation at cross section in junction area is analyzed using constructed hydraulic model. In junction area, the variation of maximum water level based on downstream section is more affected in discharge ratio at upstream than downstream. The maximum water level increased as closed to junction and the peak level appeared at just downstream of junction. The slope of water elevation at cross section is affected in section shape and decreased as discharge ratio is reduce. The expressed formulas developed in the channel consist of constant curvature and section shape showed difference of 60% with measured value, but the suggested formula in this study to compute difference of water surface elevation showed difference of 10% with measured value.

A water surface profile computation model using a standard step procedure was developed for gradually varied flow at an irrigation channel network. Flow characteristics ab Banweol district near Suweon were field monitored during irrigation periol of 1987. The model was applied to the main system at the district and the simulation results were compared to the field data. The results are sumrnarized as follows ; 1. The simulated water surface profiles from the model were in good agreement with the measured water surface profiles at different flow rates. 2. The model applicability for defining a stage-discharge relationship at a channel reach was demonstrated with reasonable accuracy when water stage and friction factor were given. 3. The roughness coefficient was found to be a major factor sigrificantly affecting computed water surface profile among a few physical input parameters for the model.

Gates for the purpose of drainage are classified following the types of structure as: Radial Gate, Sluice Gate, Rolling Gate, Drum Gate. In many cases of the reclamation project the sluice type of gates are applied. Different from this general trend, however the radial type of gate was adopted in the Saemangeum project. In this case the discharge coefficients which are used for the sluice type of gate was applied. To estimate the correct amount of discharge which will be evacuated through the gates, therefore the proper discharge coefficients should be estimated before the operation of the gates. The discharge coefficients were estimated through the physical hydraulic modeling, and we got the results as: $0.72{\sim}0.84$ for the submerged condition on the both sides of upstream and downstream, $0.62{\sim}0.83$ for the free surface condition on the downtream side only, and $1.04{\sim}1.12$ for the free surface condition on the both sides of upstream and downstream. The discharge coefficients obtained from the experiments are greater than those of the sluice gates in the design criteria. From the results of the study we may expect that in the Saemangeum project the radial gates could evacuate larger amount of discharge than the originally designed discharge, so that we may sure that the Saemangeum gates have enough capability to control the evacuation of water not only in the usual period but also in the flooding season.

The nutrients runoff including nitrogen and phosphorous was investigated to find out the characteristics of nutrient discharge from the slurrigated area using digested animal manure. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1.The concentrations of T-N, $NH_4$- N, EC, T- P and Cl- were high in flood runoff. 2.The concentration of nutrients by the surface runoff, except for $NO_3$-N, showed a tendency of increasing when the period of dry days before the rain fall was long. And the concentration of N$NO_3$-N increased in the inflow section where subsurface drainage flowed in. 3.The quality of water was generally influenced by the discharge of water quantity from slurrigated area. However the runoff concentration influenced the water quality when it was high enough. 4.To reduce loss of the nutrients and improve the fertilization effect, it is not recommended to apply slurry in rainy season.

A demand of marine outfall system has been much increased for the effective disposal of the wastewater due to population and industrial development at the coastal areas. The outfall system discharges primary or secondary treated effluent into the coastline, or at the deep water, or between these two. The discharge is carried out by constructing a pipeline on the sea bed with a diffuser or with a tunnel, risers and appropriate. The effluent, which has a density similar to that of fresh water, rises to the sea surface forming plume or jet, together with entraining the surrounding salt water and becomes very dilute. Thus there have been growing interests about plume behaviour around the outfall system. Plume or jet discharged from single-port or multi-port diffuser might cause certain impacts on coastal environment. Near field mixing characteristics of discharged water field using CORMIX model have been studied for effective outfall design various conditions on ambient current, depth, flow rate, effluent concentration, diffuser specification, port specification etc.. This kind of analysis is necessary to deal with water quality problems caused by the ocean discharge. The analyzed result was applied to the Pusan Jungang effluent outfall system plan.

Wire deflection, surface roughness and roundness were observed on changing discharge time for electrical discharge machining(EDM) of STD-11 in various conditions of thickness. The wire deflection was decreased as increasing discharge time and wire tension. The deflection is the smallest at the speed of wire of 10.6m/min and the water specific resistivity of 5k$\Omega$.cm. The deflection is found to be decreased as increasing dwell time. But if the water pressure is high, it is found not to be changed after the vibration of 4sec. The component of copper(Cu) and zinc(Zn), which is the main material of wire electrode, is observed for rough wire-cutting EDM of STD-11. This phenomena is found to be similar in spite of the change of EDM energy level. But it will be improved by changing the material and the shape of wire. The roundness of middle is found to be worse than that of upper and it is increased as the thickness of material is increased.

온수 방류방식의 분류는 냉각수 공급방식별로 냉각수 통과방식(once-through cooling system)과 냉각수 재순환방식(closed-cycle cooling: system)으로 구분된다. 배출구조별 분류는 수표면방류 방식(surface discharge type)과 수중방류 방식(submerged discharge type)으로 구분된다. 국내 외의 연구결과 수중 방류방식이 희석효과가 좋아 환경에 미치는 영향이 작은 것으로 평가되고 있으나, 국내의 발전소에서는 대부분 수표면방류 방식을 채택하고 있다. (중략)
