This study investigated the characteristics of cotton production of Damyang-gun & Hwasun-gun, Yeongsan River compared with that of Gurye-gun, Seomjingang River in modern times. To do this, research method was both literature and fieldwork research, results were as follows. First, as for cotton fiber cultivation in Damyang-gun & Hwasun-gun, Chinese cotton (在來綿) has been cultivated during Japanese Colonial era unlike Gurye-gun. Especially, Yellow cotton (黃綿) has been cultivated in Hwasungun. Second, as for spinning in Damyang-gun, Hwasun-gun and Gurye-gun, some of cotton spinning process have been gradually changed to mechanization by market shop equipped with mechanized cotton gin and cotton whipping tool since Japanese colonial era. Third, the loom types also, like spinning tools, have been changed from the traditional Korean back-strap loom to the treadle loom in Damyang-gun, Hwasungun and Gurye-gun. Chemical dyeing with chemical dyestuff also has been done since Japanese Colonial era. Fourth, since the 1970s, the outputs of cotton production have been reduced in both Damyang-gun & Hwasun-gun. For Damyang-gun, this has been connected with bamboo craft since the Joseon Dynasty period. So, Damyang-gun has more concentrated on bamboo craft than cotton production. For Hwasun-gun, since Japanese Colonial era, sericulture has been very important. So, Hwasun-gun also has more concentrated on sericulture than cotton production. The main reason to discontinue cotton production in Damyang-gun, Hwasun-gun and Gurye-gun was related to the local choice like economic added value.

This study compares the abundance and community structure of zooplankton organisms from the littoral and pelagic regions, and considers particularly trophic levels vs. zooplankton abundances. Zooplankton samples, collected every 3 months over a year from 2010 to 2011 at 29 temperate lakes and reservoirs, which belong to two different river basins (Youngsan and Seomjin River). The spatial pattern of rotifers was similar to that of total zooplankton abundance. This reflected the fact that rotifers strongly dominated the zooplankton community. There were considerable spatial variations in total zooplankton abundance (ANOVA, p＜0.01), while there were no significant differences both in littoral and pelagic regions in abundance of zooplankton (ANOVA, p=0.205). The mean abundance of zooplankton in eutrophic systems was much higher than that of mesotrophic systems, while significant difference in number of species and diversity index were not shown in both trophic systems.

본 연구에서는 2013년 영산강과 섬진강 유역에 발생한 강우 및 홍수사상을 평년 및 예년과 비교하여 분석하였다. 분석결과, 6월, 8월∼9월은 평년대비 50% 수준에 그쳤으나, 7월은 장마전선의 영향으로 4일부터 7일까지 유역평균 250mm 강우를 기록하였다. 8월은 작년과 달리 태풍의 직접적인 영향이 없었으나, 23일과 24일에는 유역평균 140mm의 호우가 집중되었다. 강우에 따른 수위 변화를 알아보면 연중 최고수위가 7월 5일에 발생하였고, 이 때에 선암(황룡강), 나주(영산강), 구례2와 송정지점(섬진강)에 홍수주의보가 발령되기도 하였다. 농업용 저수지(광주, 담양, 장성과 나주) 및 다목적 댐(섬진강, 주암, 탐진)의 11월말 수위를 보면 전반적으로 전년에 비하여 낮은 편이었고, 그 중 광주댐은 전년대비 4.60m, 섬진강댐은 9.15m으로 낮은 편이었다.
