The objective of this study was to determine the effect of goat grazing on the surface water quality of the alpine grasslands. Seven sites were selected across the goat farm for water sample collection and analysis. Samples were analyzed for BOD (Biological oxygen demand), total nitrogen, total phosphorous, electrical conductivity and water turbidity. All the above-mentioned parameters remained below the standard limit of Korean government at the end site. Puddles showed higher values, but below standard, as stagnant water has lower physico-chemical properties as of flowing water. The present study clearly showed that goat grazing doesn’t affect water quality in grasslands if grazing is according to carrying capacity of grassland and fertilizer application is judicious.

To comparison the surface treatment methods of stone board materials, the results of Dorry's abrasive test were 23.4 for water-jet system and 18.9 for flame-burner system. Therefore abrasive hardness, the stone board materials by the water-jet system was greater than one by flame-jet system. As a result of Shore's hardness test, the stone board materials by water-jet system was twice greater than one by flame-jet system. Authors carried out microscopic observation to survey a defection of the composition minerals for two methods, but all of the both methods have not founded a defection. Therefore, the stone board materials by water-jet system was greater durability than one by flame-jet for the surface treatment methods.

백두산 분화 시 분출되는 화산재에 의한 수질환경 변화에 대응하고자 본 연구에서는 백두산 화산재 성분을 추정하고, 화산재 퇴적 두께에 따른 수질 농도변화를 분석하였다. 백두산 화산재 성분을 추정하기 위해 주요 해외 화산의 마그마 성분과 백두산의 마그마 성분을 비교하여 유사한 화산을 선정하고, 해당 화산에서 분출한 화산재의 성분을 백두산의 화산재 성분과 유사한 것으로 가정하였다. 화산재 유해성분에 의한 수질 농도변화를 분석하기 위해 화산재 퇴적 두께에 따른 유해성분 농도의 증감을 분석한 후, 국내 먹는물 수질기준과 비교함으로서 수질환경에 대한 영향 유무를 평가하였다. 연구 결과, 알루미늄, 카드뮴, 불소, 철, 납, 마그네슘, 염소와 스트론튬 등이 취수원에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 이 중 카드뮴, 불소, 철, 납, 마그네슘의 경우에는 수질관리 및 화산분출 시 관리가 필요할 것으로 분석되었다.

Two sites with different average daily traffic volume at an intersection were selected in order to investigate water quality of the first flushes in the surface runoffs. The effects of rainfall intensities and accumulated non-rainy days before rainfall events on the water quality were also delineated. Samples were collected at every 2 min. interval from each first flush from February to May, 2004 for 4 major rainfall events. CODcr or SS concentrations at the site with an average daily traffic volume (ADTV) of 23,000 vehicles were 2-7 times higher than those at the site with an ADTV of 1,400 vehicles. The longer the accumulated non-rainy days were, the higher the concentration of heavy metals were than those of CODcr and SS in the first flushes.

National Agricultural Pesticide Risk Analysis (NAPRA) WWW 시스템 (http://pasture.ecn.purdue.edu/~napra)은 각기 다른 영농방법이 지표수질, 유사, 그리고 지하수질에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 개발되었다. 이 NAPRA WWW 시스템은 Total Maximum Daily Loads와 같은 수질 요건을 만족시킬 수 있는 최적영농 방법이 무엇인지 찾는데, 그리고 수질측
