지진은 지각내 단층운동과 함께 수십억 년 전부터 발생하여 왔다. 1960년대부터는 미국에서는 지진과 지하수위 의 연관성 연구를 본격적으로 시작하였으나, 국내에서는 2010년 경부터 지진과 지하수위 및 수리지화학적 연관성에 대 한 연구를 시작하였다. 본 연구에서는 국내학자들이 과거부터 2021년까지 연도별로 지진과 지하수의 관련성을 연구한 논문을 Web of Science에서 검색하고, 분야별(지하수위, 수리지화학, 지하수위와 수리지화학 병행, 그 외 분야) 연구 특 성을 검토하였다. 국내학술지에 게재된 지진과 지하수 관련성 연구 논문을 보면, 연도별 논문 편수는 2011년에 동일본 대지진, 2016년에 경주지진, 2017년에 포항지진과 발생과 관련되며, 이에 따라 2011년, 2018년, 2019년, 2020년에 국내 및 국제학술지 게재 논문수가 증가하였다. 대부분의 지하수위와 지진의 관련성 연구는 지진과 동시기의 지하수위 변화 에 관한 연구이며, 지진 전조와 관련한 연구는 거의 없다. 지하수위 관측자료와 함께 여러가지 수리지화학적 정보와 미 생물은 지진에 의한 기반암내 지하수의 유동과 화학적인 반응을 보다 상세하게 이해하는데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 지진 감시 및 예측을 위해서는 지진감시를 위한 지하수관측공 네트워크를 전국적으로 구축할 필요가 있다.

본 연구에서는 2001년부터 2020년까지 지진과 관련된 지하수위, 수질, 라돈, 원격탐사, 전기비저항, 중력, 지자기 분야의 세계적으로 학술지에 게재된 논문 편수를 Web of Science에서 검색하여 그 경향성을 분석하였다. 그리고 논문 편수와 Mw 5.0 이상, Mw 6.0 이상, Mw 7.0 이상, Mw 8.0 이상, Mw 9.0 이상 지진 발생 건수를 비교 분석하였다. 지진과 관련한 중력, 라돈, 지하수(지하수위, 수질), 전기비저항, 지자기분야 논문 편수는 장기적으로 증가하는 추세를 보인다. 이는 원격탐사 기술의 발달, 측정 장비의 고도화, 빅데이터 분석 등을 통한 종합적인 자료 해석이 가능해지면 서 여러 분야에서 지진 전조 및 지진 현상 연구가 활발해지고 있기 때문이다. Mann-Kendall과 Sen 추세 검정에 의하면, 중력 관련 논문의 경우 1.30편/년의 증가추세를 보이고, 라돈 0.60편/년, 지하수 0.70편/년, 전기비저항 0.25편/년, 원격탐사 0.67편/년의 증가추세를 보인다. Mw 5.0 이상, Mw 6.0 이상, Mw 7.0 이상, Mw 8.0 이상, Mw 9.0 이상의 지진 발생 건수와 경향성을 제거한 분야별 논문 편수 간의 교차상관분석에 의하면, 라돈과 원격탐사 분야의 교차상관성이 높으며, 지연시간은 1년이다. 또한 2004년과 2005년 수마트라 지진, 2008년 쓰촨성 지진, 2010년 아이티 지진, 2010 칠레 지진 등의 큰 규모의 지진 발생이 논문 편수 증가와 관련되는 것으로 추정된다.

농촌지역에서는 농업활동의 영향에 의한 질산성질소 오염이 천부지하수를 생활용수나 먹는물로 사용하는데 큰 장애요인이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 충남 예산군 효교리 농업지역의 천부지하수의 수질특성을 토지용도 및 토양층의 화학성분과 연계하여 고찰하였다. 지하수의 NO3-N 평균 농도는 생활용수와 농업용수 수질 기준을 초과하며, 이는 비료, 축산폐수, 생활하수 등의 인위적인 오염원으로부터 유래하는 것으로 판단된다. 연구지역 지하수 수질형은 주로 Ca(Na)-Cl형에 속하는 것으로 나타나며, 일반적인 천부지하수의 수질형인 Ca-HCO3형과는 다르다. 논 및 기타(상류, 목장, 주거) 지역과 밭 지역으로 구분하여 지하수의 NO3-N 농도를 비교한 결과, 밭 지역의 NO3-N의 평균 농도는 22.8 mg L−1이고, 논 및 기타 지역의 NO3-N 평균 농도는 7.7 mg L−1로서 밭 지역의 NO3-N의 평균 농도가 높게 나타난다. 이는 논지역이 낮은 투수성을 가지고, 밭지역은 높은 투수성을 가지기 때문이다. Mann-Kendall 검정과 Sen 검정에 의한 경향성 분석 에 의하면, NO3-N 농도는 매년 0.011 mg/L 정도로 매우 약한 감소 추세를 보여주고 있으며, 이는 현재 지하수내 NO3-N 농도가 거의 평형상태에 있음을 지시한다. 한편 SO4 2− 농도는 매년 −15.48% 씩 감소하며, HCO3 − 농도는 매년 −13.75% 씩 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 입도분석에 의한 수리전도도는 지표하 5 m까지의 심도에서 평균 1.86×10−5 cm s−1을 보이며, 모래층에서는 1.03×10−4 cm s−1을 그리고 실트층에서는 2.50×10−8 cm s−1을 보인다.

Drought is a reoccurring worldwide natural hazard that affects not only food production but also economics, health, and infrastructure. Drought monitoring is usually performed with precipitation-based indices without consideration of the actual state and amount of the land surface properties. A drought index based on the actual evapotranspiration can overcome these shortcomings. The severity of a drought can be quantified by making a spatial map. The procedure for estimating actual evapotranspiration is costly and complicated, and requires land surface information. The possibility of utilizing drone-driven remotely sensed data for actual evapotranspiration estimation was analyzed in this study. A drone collected data was used to calculate the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and soil-adjusted vegetation index (SAVI). The spatial resolution was 10 m with a grid of 404 x 395. The collected data were applied and parameterized to an actual evapotranspiration estimation. The result shows that drone-based data is useful for estimating actual evapotranspiration and the corresponding drought indices.

When constructing tunnels, it is important to understand structural, geological and hydrogeological conditions. Geumgeong tunnel that has been constructed in Mt. Geumjeong for the Gyeongbu express railway induced rapid drawdown of groundwater in the tunnel construction area and surroundings. This study aimed to analyze groundwater flow system and baseflow using long-term monitoring and groundwater flow modeling around Geumgeong tunnel. Field hydraulic tests were carried out in order to estimate hydraulic conductivity, transmissivity, and storativity in the study area. Following the formula of Turc and groundwater flow modeling, the annual evapotranspiration and recharge rate including baseflow were estimated as 48% and 23% compared to annual precipitation, respectively. According to the transient modeling for 12 years after tunnel excavation, baseflow was estimated as 9,796 - 9,402 m3/day with a decreasing tendency.

The evaluation of potential submarine groundwater is an important research topic for exploring an alternative water resource. Two different approaches, water budget analysis and Rn mass balance method, were employed to investigate the annual variation of submarine groundwater discharge in 2010 at a marine watershed located at the south-eastern part of Korean Peninsula. In order to obtain reliable hydrological data during study period, temporal and spatial variations of rainfall and soil moisture had been collected and hydro-meterological data such as temperature, humidity and wind speed were collected The runoff response was simulated using SCS-CN method with spatial distributions of landuse and soil texture from GIS analysis. Six different methods were used to estimate the monthly variation of evapotranspiration and field measurements of soil moisture were used to account for the infiltration. Comparisons of infiltration and surface runoff between simulation and water balance with measurements showed coincidence. The water budget analysis and Rn mass balance method provide mean daily submarine groundwater as 5.35 and 4.07 m3/m/day in 2010, respectively.

This study examined the physical and chemical properties of soil in Jang-San wetland in Busan Metropolitan City. The wetland covers wide and flat area comparing to its outside. The samples of the wetland soil were collected and analyzed in order to identify the profiles and chemical properties. According to the analyses of soil moisture and particle size distribution, the wetland soil mostly belongs to sandy loam with the soil moistures of 14.9-153.2%. The soil profiles are configured with O, A, B, and C horizons from the land surface. The organic matter content (2.38-16.7%) at most sampling locations decreases downwardly with the highest at 0-20 cm depth. The organic matter content has a good positive relationship with soil moisture content. According to X-ray diffraction analysis, the wetland soils contain quartz and feldspar (the main components of rhyolite porphyry) as well as montmorillonite, gibbsite, and kaolinite (the weathered products of feldspar). The wetland soil displays the highest iron concentration (average 22,052 mg/kg), indicating oxidation of iron. High concentrations of potassium (average 17,822 mg/kg) and sodium (average 5,394 mg/kg) originate from the weathering of feldspar. Among anions, sulfate concentration is highest with average 9.21 mg/kg that may originate from sulfate minerals and atmosphere.

지표수 부족과 수질에 대한 불신 때문에 대체 수자원의 확보가 요구되고 있으며, 유력한 대안으로 강변여과에 관심이 모아지고 있다. 국내 최초의 강변여과는 경남 창원에서 2001년에 시작되었으며, 현재 창원시 수돗물의 100%를 여기에 의존하고 있다. 본 연구는 강변여과 취수장 부근 지하수위를 설명하는 시계열 모형의 개발에 관한 것이다. 연구 대상지역은 창원시 대산면 현장으로 11개 관측정으로부터의 5년간(2003년 1월2007년 12월) 지하수위 자료를

Groundwater recharge characteristics in a fractured granite area, Mt. Geumjeong, Korea. was interpreted using bedrock groundwater and wet-land water data. Time series analysis using autocorreclation, cross-correlation and spectral density was conducted for characterizing water level variation and recharge rate in low water and high water seasons. Autocorrelation analysis using water levels resulted in short delay time with weak linearity and memory. Cross-correlation function from cross-correlation analysis was lower in the low water season than the high water season for the bedrock groundwater. The result of water level decline analysis identified groundwater recharge rate of about 11% in the study area.

The Cretaceous granite, andesite and sedimentary rocks are widely distributed in the northern Pusan area. The present study investigates mineralogical and geochemical charateristics of residual and cultivated soils derived from these rocks. The soils of granite area contain a large amount of quartz relative to clay minerals, whereas the soils of the andesite area contain more clay minerals than quartz. Clay minerals consist mainly of kaolin minerals illite hydroxy interlayered vermiculite interstratified mica/vermiculite and chlorite. Kaolin minerals are abundant in paddy soils while illite is abundant in less weathered soils. Si and K are major elements in the soils of granite area while Fe and Al in the soils of andesite area. In all the soils Ca, Mg and Na were generally depleted in comparison to those in parent rocks. Analysis data of trace element show that the enrichment pattern in soils depends on parent rock type with high oncentration of some elements over 100 ppm: Ba and Rb in granite area Zn, Bn, and V in andesite area, and Ba and V in sedimentary rock. In granite area, Rb and Th were greatly enriched in soil than in parent rocks. However, Cr, Ni and Sr commonly decrease, whereas Pb increases in all the soils. Exchangeable cation capacity(CEC) is relatively high in the soils of andesite are including abundant clay minerals. Collective evidences prove that the mineralogical and chemical compositions of soils are strongly dependent on the parent rock type. The mineralogy and chemistry of long cultivated soils are not significantly different from those of residual soils.

Twenty-two water samples(fifteen groundwater and seven geothermal water samples) were collected to elucidate chemical characteristics of the ground and geothermal waters in the Haeundae hot-spring area and its vicinity. Major and minor elements were analyzed for ground and geothermal water samples. The concentrations of K-, Na-, Ca2+, SO42-, Cl-, F+ and SiO2 were higher in the geothermal water samples than the groundwater samples except HCO3 and Mg2+ ions. Based on the contents of Fe, Zn, Cu, Al, Mn and Pb, some of the ground and geothermal water samples are contaminated by anthropogenic sources. The ground waters shown on the Piper diagram belong to Ca-HCO3 type, while the geothermal waters Na-Cl type. The graphs of Cl- versus Na+, Ca2+ Mg2+, K-, SO42- and HCO3- indicate that the groundwater is related partly with mineral-water reaction and partly with anthropogenic contamination, while the geothermal water is related with saline water. On the phase stability diagram, groundwater and thermal water mostly fall in the field of stability of kaolinite. This indicates that the ground and geothermal waters proceed with forming kaolinite. Factor and correlation analyses were carried out to simplify the physicochemical data into grouping some factors and to find interaction between them. Based on the Na-K, Na-K-Ca and Na-K-Ca-Mg geothermometers and silica geothermometers, the geothermal reservoir is estimated to have equilibrium temperature between 125℃ and 160℃.

Spring, ground and thermal waters in the vicinity of Mt. Geumjeong and Mt. Baekyang area have been sampled and analyzed for major and minor elements. According to the Piper diagram, spring water belongs to Ca-HCO3 and Na-HCO3 types, groundwater to Ca-HCO3 type, and thermal water to Na-Cl type. Based on the phase stability diagrams of [Ca2+]/[H+]2, [Mg2+]/[H+]2, [K+]/[H+], and [Na+]/[H+] vs. [H4SiO4], spring water, groundwater and thermal water are mostly in equilibrium with kaolinite. The result of factor analysis shows three factors (factor 1, 2 and factor 3) for the spring water, the groundwater and the thermal water which are represented by the influence of the dissolution of feldspar, calcite, anthropogenic sources (domestic and industrial wastes) and salt water.
