In this study, we extracted effective factors of pipe burst from the status data of water asset, operating data of pressure, volume and etc. and 7 years' pipe burst and repair records. The extracted factors were sorted by each attribution and then a statistical analysis was performed to generate a pipe burst probability function using the logistic regression model. As the result, material, diameter, length, laying year, pressure and road width affected to pipe burst significantly. Especially, in case of small diameter, laying year was most effective factor and in case of steel pipe, external loading was main cause of burst, and in case of cast iron, PE, PC, HP pipes, the deterioration of joint was main cause. The other side, as a result of Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test the models are turned out significant statistically. Also the classification criteria were determined to minimize the total cost from classification errors, when the predicted probability was more than 18% this pipe could have a chance of burst.

Artificial neural networks were used for time series modelling of algal dynamics of whole year and by season at the Paldang dam station (confluence area). The modelling was based on comprehensive weekly water quality data from 1997 to 2004 at the Paldang dam station. The results of validation of seasonal models showed that the timing and magnitude of the observed chlorophyll a concentration was predicted better, compared with the ANN model for whole year. Internal weightings of the inputs in trained neural networks were obtained by sensitivity analysis for identification of the primary driving mechanisms in the system dynamics. pH, COD, TP determined most the dynamics of chlorophyll a, although these inputs were not the real driving variable for algal growth. Short-term prediction models that perform one or two weeks ahead predictions of chlorophyll a concentration were designed for the application of Harmful Algal Alert System in Lake Paldang. Short-term-ahead ANN models showed the possibilities of application of Harmful Algal Alert System after increasing ANN model's performance.

To estimate water balance of Pyosun watershed in Jeju Island, a three-dimensional finite difference model MODFLOW was applied. Moreover, the accuracy of groundwater flow modeling was evaluated through the comparison of the recharge rate by flow modeling and the existing one from water balance model. The modeling result under the steady-state condition indicates that groundwater flow direction was from Mt. Halla to the South Sea and groundwater gradient was gradually lowered depending on the elevation. Annual recharge rate by the groundwater flow modeling in Pyosun watershed was calculated to 236 million $m^3/year$ and it was found to be very low as compared to the recharge rate 238 million $m^3/year$ by the existing water balance model. Therefore, groundwater flow modeling turned out to be useful to estimate the recharge rate in Pyosun watershed and it would be available to make groundwater management policy for watershed in the future.

This research is an analysis of the water vapor transport change Into the continent due to the global warming effect with the general circulation models. Water vapor transport change from ocean to land increases through the year due to CO2 doubling effect. In Eurasia, it indicates an increase about 170∼350${\times}$06 Mt/day the whole year. In Africa, it shows an decrease every month except November, especially there is the maximum decrease about -350${\times}$106 Mt/day during August-September. In other continents, excluding Eurasia and Africa, the change of water vapor transport vary with the month below $\pm$8.0${\times}$106 Mt/day with the unsystematic patterns. In Eurasia, the change of water vapor transport increases as a whole, but it decrease in desert areas which occupy a high area-ratio. Therefore, except desert areas, the amount of the growth in water vapor transport change concentrate on Asian monsoon area. As a result of monsoon strengthening, available water will grow considerably at the asian monsoon areas.

For the most efficient operation of water mains, 124 head losses in domestic water supply steel mains were measured to provide the values of friction coefficient and the variable affecting the deterioration rate of Hazen Williams' and Darcy-Weisbach's friction coefficient. The experimental results show that pipe age is governing the friction coefficient of large mains (Diameter > 1100 mm). On the other hands, pipe age and pipe diameter are affecting the variation of carrying capacity for small mains (Diameter < 1100 mm). The friction coefficient of water mains in foreign countries is higher than that in Korea by about 5 to 10 in Hazen Williams' C value. The growing rate of roughness height of domestic water main is about 0.41 mm/year which is higher than the average of United States of America. So further study is required to find out what causes the serious deterioration rate.

According to Asian Development Bank report Pakistan is among water scarce countries. Climate scenario on the basis IPCC fifth assessment report (AR5) revealed that annual mean temperature of Pakistan from year 2010-2019 was $17C^o$ which will rise up to $21C^o$ at the end of this century, similarly almost 10% decrease of annual rainfall is expected at the end of the century. It is a changing task in underdeveloped countries like Pakistan to meet the water demands of rapidly increasing population in a changing climate. While many studies have tackled scarcity and stream flow forecasting of the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) Pakistan, very few of them are related to socio-economic and climate change impact on sustainable water management of UIB. This study investigates the pattern of current and future surface water availability for various demand sites (e.g. domestic, agriculture and industrial) under different socio-economic and climate change scenarios in Upper Indus Basin (UIB) Pakistan for a period of 2010 to 2050. A state-of-the-art planning tool Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) is used to analyze the dynamics of current and future water demand. The stream flow data of five sub catchment (Astore, Gilgit, Hunza, Shigar and Shoyke) and entire UIB were calibrated and validated for the year of 2006 to 2011 using WEAP. The Nash Sutcliffe coefficient and coefficient of determination is achieved ranging from 0.63 to 0.92. The results indicate that unmet water demand is likely to increase severe threshold and the external driving forces e.g. socio-economic and climate change will create a gap between supply and demand of water.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of stocking density and water temperature in the rearing of the longtooth grouper Epinephelus bruneus. Juvenile fish [mean body weight (BW)=$6.9{\pm}1.1g$] were raised for 6 weeks, in four density groups of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 individuals/L. There were no significant differences in weight gain (WG) or specific growth rate (SGR) among the density groups; however, both WG and SGR tended to be higher in the low density group. After 6 weeks of rearing in temperature-controlled water ($23.6{\pm}0.8^{\circ}C$) and ambient temperature water ($19.6{\pm}1.8^{\circ}C$), there were no significant differences in WG or SGR values, but both tended to be higher in the temperature controlled water. The feed efficiency (FE) and daily feed intake (DFI) and WG values were also higher in the temperature-controlled water than in the ambient temperature water. WG values were lower at lower water temperatures. The same pattern was observed for SGR, FE, and FI, all of which exhibited lower values at lower temperatures. In particular, WG, SGR, and FE values all tended to decrease at the $16^{\circ}C$ water temperature. The effects of water temperature on 1-year fish (mean BW = $387.6{\pm}30.2g$) and 3-year fish (mean BW = $1,338.3{\pm}73.8g$) were similar to those of the juvenile fish (0-year fish).
