In order to improve the water environment at urban streams in Korea, several river restoration projects have been initiated for past few years. This study evaluates the impact of diverting water application at the riverhead of Onchun stream through the monitoring program for several water quality and ecological parameters. Various water quality parameters and ecological item such as benthic macroinverterates has been investigated between 09/05 and 12/06. Analysis indicates that the application of diverting water from Nakdong river to Onchun stream distinctly improved several water quality parameters such as, PH, BOD, TN, TP and concentrations of heavy metals. Low flow augmentation also improve ecological indicies such as the diversity index of benthic macroinvertebrates. Generally speaking, releasing addition water from head water of Onchun stream improves various water environmental characteristics.

본 연구에서는 하천의 유지용수를 확보하기 위하여 하수처리장에서 처리하여 방류하는 하수처리수를 활용하기 위한 방안을 검토하고 이를 하천유지용수로 직접 활용하기 위하여 역순환시스템의 활용을 검토하였다. 역순환시스템은 하천 하류에 위치한 하수처리장으로부터 방류되는 하수처리수를 펌핑하여 하천상류부로 이송함으로써 하천에 부족한 유지유량을 확보하는 방법으로 여러 가지 형태의 이송방안을 조합하여 하천의 특성에 맞는 최적의 시스템을 구성하고 간단한 수처리를 적용함으로

This study aims at the estimation of a river management flow in urban basin analyzing Sinchun basin to be the tributary of Kumho river basin. The river management flow has to satisfy a low flow as natural flow and an environmental preservation flow estimated by a dilution flow to satisfy a target water quality in drought flow. Therefore for the estimation of a river management flow in Sinchun in this study, first Tank model as a basin runoff model estimates a low flow, a drought flow from a flow duration curve in Sinchun, second QUAL2E model as water quality model simulates water quality in Sinchun and estimates environmental preservation flow to satisfy a target water quality, BOD 8 ㎎/ℓ by a dilution flow derived from Kumho river, Nakdong river and ground water. And the river management flow is estimated by addition of a use flow and a loss flow to more flow between a low flow and an environmental preservation flow.
