This study investigated the fish fauna of Jeonjucheon and Samcheon Streams, flowing through the city of Jeonju, through surveys conducted at 10 sampling sites using kick net and cast net. The fish fauna collected included 10 families and 36 species, with a total of 2,064 individuals. Samcheon had 8 families and 30 species with 1,074 individuals, Jeonjucheon had 8 families and 26 species with 986 individuals. The dominant species was Zacco platypus with 1,202 individuals, and a total of 153 individuals of the subdominant were Pseudogobio esocinus. In Jeonjucheon Stream, a total of 567 individuals of the dominant species were collected as Z. platypus and 99 individuals of the subdominant species were collected as Pungtungia herzi, and there was no significant change in the stream environment except for the confluence site. Further expanded research covering the entire Jeonjucheon and Samcheon Streams region, accompanied by regular monitoring, is essential to record and understand fluctuations in fish fauna.

외래생물은 애완용 등의 목적으로 유입되고 있으며 파충류는 특이하거나 희귀한 생김새로 인해 거래량이 지속적으로 늘어나 고 있다. 수입량이 증가함에 따라 야생에서 발견되는 외래거북의 수도 증가하고 있으며 최근에 발견된 외래생물은 대부분 도심지 근처에서 발견되었다. 따라서 본 연구는 서울 도심에 위치한 중랑천에 서식하는 외래거북 현황을 보고하고자 한다. 조사 결과 동부비단거북(Chrysemys picta picta), 리버쿠터(Pseudemys concinna), 플로리다붉은배거북(P. nelsoni), 붉은귀 거북(Trachemys scripta elegans), 노란배거북(T. s. scripta), 쿰버랜드거북(T. s. troostii), 중국줄무늬목거북(Mauremys sinensis) 등 총 7종의 외래거북을 확인하였으며 국내종은 자라(Pelodiscus maackii) 1종이 확인되었다. 이 중 6종은 국내에서 생태계교란종으로 지정되어 있다. 가장 많이 발견된 종은 리버쿠터(P. concinna)로 나타났으며 현재 파충류 펫샵에서 거래중 인 동부비단거북(C. p. picta)도 발견되었다. 이를 통해 도심하천의 외래거북 현황을 확인할 수 있었으며, 지속적으로 야생에 유입되고 있음을 보여주는 결과라 판단된다.

이 연구의 목적은 대표적 도심하천인 갑천에서 복원사업을 중심으로 2007-2016년도까지의 이화학적 수질, 물리적 서식지 건강도, 생태학적 건강도를 어류를 이용한 다변수 모델(Index of Biological Integrity, IBI) 및 질적 서식지 평가 모델(Qualitative habitat evaluation index, QHEI)를 이용해 평가하는 것이다. 연 평균 총인(Total Phosphorus)은 10년 동안 13배 가까이 감소해왔으며, BOD값은 50%이상 감소하는 것으로 보아, 영양염류의 감소와 유기물 오염의 감소가 이루어졌음을 나타냈다. 그러나 어류의 군집 특성을 이용한 분석 결과, 10년간 일부 민감종 비율이 증가한 것을 제외하고는 큰 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 물리적 서식 지 평가 모델(QHEI)을 이용한 결과 하류로 가면서 일부 구간에서 뚜렷한 물리적 서식지 교란이 발생하고 있음이 나타났다. IBI와 QHEI, 이화학적 수질 변수간의 상관분석 결과 QHEI값과 IBI값간의 통계적으로 매우 유의한 양의 상관관계가 나타났으며(r = 0.569, p<0.001) 그 밖에 총질소(Total Nitrogen) 및 생화학적 산소 요구량(Biochemical Oxygen Demand, BOD), 화학적 산소 요구량(Chemical Oxygen Demand, COD), 총 부유물질과 통계적으로 유의한 음의 상관관계(r >-0.3, p<0.05)를 나타냈다. 이는 도심 하천에서 장기간 수질 오염의 개선이 이루어져도 물리적 서식지 건강도가 회복이 되지 않으면 수생태계 건강성의 회복이 제한되는 것으로 보인다.

The ecosystem in the Gwangju Stream has taken a wide range of disturbance such as the discharging water of sewage treatment plant, the lake water and the river water from different water system over the past decade. This study was figured out some significant influence factors by analyzing the relationship between biotic and abiotic factors in the urban stream. Abiotic components included 15 water quality variables which were measured in five sampling sites along the stream from October 2014 to July 2015, whereas the benthic macroinvertebrates found in those sites were used to estimate various biotic indices representing the ecological status of the community. The results of correlation analyses indicated that abiotic factors by human activities affected on the inhabitation of benthic macroinvertebrates more than biotic factors. The results of cluster analyses and ANOVA tests also showed that biotic and abiotic characteristics were clearly different in season. The main influence factors of cluster analysis by sites were NH3-N, EPT(I) and DO. It was considered that more various statistical analyses would be necessary to find some different relationships and influence factors between biotic and abiotic variables in the urban stream.

This study illustrates changes in the epilithic diatom assemblages in response to urban climatic conditions. We further assess the impact of abnormal urban climate to the urban stream environment. Epilithic diatoms, water chemical and physical variables were sampled every quarter, and assessed at 3 Oncheon stream sites, for a period of two years (from 2013~2014). The variation of physiochemical properties such as BOD, COD, T-N and T-P, show that the water quality was strongly influenced with long periods of drought and flood disturbance. Epilithic diatom assemblages were separated along the stream sites; however, the physical disturbance from urban drought and stormwater changed the composition of diatom assemblages instead of decreasing the taxonomic richness. Thus, our results suggest that epilithic diatom assemblages are altered in response to urban climatic changes, resulting in variations of stream conditions. Hence, strategies of climate change adaptation are required when considering urban stream environments.

This study is to construct the spatial information of river environment by surveying and analysing the river ecosystem using the physical structure and vegetation, and present the assessment result of natural properties. The assessment items of habitat were 4 units including special river bed structure, vertical shoal, deposit diversity and special waterway structure. In physical structure, the items were 7 units including adjacent landuse, cross section type, bank material and so forth. The dominant species were Phragmites japonica, Phragmites communis, Salix koreensis, Persicaria thunbergii and Typha orientalis. The river bed materials were made up of sand, gravel, clay and concrete. The assessment results of natural properties were classified into 5 grades, 1 grade is the highest and 5 grade is the lowest. From results that calculating the assessment grade of natural properties, there mainly showed 4 grade in Gaeumjeong stream, 3 grade in Namsan stream and Nam stream, 4 grade in Naedong stream and Daebang stream, 3 grade in Bongrim stream, 2 grade in Sangbok stream, 3 grade in Yanggok stream, 4 grade in Wanam stream, 3 grade in Changwon stream and Towol stream and 5 grade in Hanam stream. In the assessment results, Sangbok stream was the highest, and Hanam stream was the lowest. In the future, the restoration method would have to be drawn up according to the assessment results of natural properties, and the way the weighting of indicators needs to be applied.

The study objectives were to evaluate the aquatic environment of an urban stream using various ecological parameters of biological biomarkers, physical habitat and chemical water quality and to develop a “Multi-metric Eco-Model” (Mm-E Model) for the ecosystem evaluations. The biomarkers of DNA, based on the comet assay approach of single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE), were analyzed using the blood samples of Zacco platypus as a target species. The condition factor (CF) as key indicators of the population evaluation indicator was analyzed along with the weight-length relation and individual abnormality. The four metrics of Qualitative Habitat Evaluation Index (QHEI) were added for the evaluations of physical habitat. In addition, the parameters of chemical water quality were used as eutrophic indicators. Our results suggested that attributes of biomarkers and bioindicators in the impacted zone (Iz) had sensitive response largely to the chemical stress (eutrophic indicators) and also partially to physical habitat quality, compared to the those in the control zone. Hereafter, applying Multimetric Eco-Model to stream ecosystem, it will be able to evaluate ecological health state.

본 연구에서는 2006~2007년 동안 도심하천인 미호천과 갑천의 이화학적 수질 및 서식지 특성을 분석하였고, 또한 어종 분포 및 길드분석을 통해 군집구조 및 생태건강도 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 전형적인 두 도심하천의 BOD, COD농도는 각각 평균 3.5 mg L-1, 5.7 mg L-1였고, 총질소(TN)및 총인(TP)의 농도는 각각 5.1 mg L-1, 274 μg L-1로서 이미 부영양 상태

주변 토지이용과 수질이 서로 다른 도시하천인 양재천(서울)과 산지하천인 사기막천(경기도)에서 부착조류 동태 파악을 위해 1996년 3월부터 1998년 10월까지 월별 및 격월별로 조사를 실시하였다. 양재천의 영양염류 농도는 총질소가 8.9 mg/l 총인이 0.42 mg/l로 사기막천 (총질소 농도: 1.9 mg/l, 총인농도: 0.13 mg/l)보다 3~4배 가량 높았다. 부착조류 생체량 역시 양재천에서 평균 62±67 mg/l로 평균 17±11 mg/l인 사기막천 보다 매우 높게 나타났다. 두 지점 모두 봄에 높은 생체량을 보였고 여름동안은 생체량이 낮은 것으로 조사되었으며 여름동안의 집중호우에 의한 탁류 유입 및 하상구조의 교란의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 양재천의 경우 전체 출현종 중 호오탁성종이 50.0%, 광적응성종이 48.8%를 차지하였고 호청수성종은 1.2%로 현저히 낮은 출현율을 나타내었다. 사기막천에서는 전체 출현종 중 호청수성종이 54.6%, 광적응성종이 44.6%, 호오탁성종은 0.8%의 출현율을 나타내어 양재천과는 대조적이었다. 조사기간 중 종조성 역시 양재천에서는 호오탁성종으로 분류되는 Navicula subminuscula과 Nitzschia palea가 사기막천에서는 호청수성종으로 분류되는 Achnanthes convergens와 광적응성종으로 분류되는 Cymbella minuta가 우점종으로 조사되어 큰 차이를 나타내었다.

Denitrification activity of microbial communities in sand-gravel sediments and biofilms developing on a concrete riverbed of an urban small stream, Nogawa River, was measured monthly by laboratory incubations after the acetylene inhibition technique during une year from December 1987. The annual mean denitrification rate of the biofilm samples, 1.5 mgN m-2 h-1. was higtrer than the rate ut the sandgravel sediment samples. 0.8 mgN m-2 h-1. Contrary, ratios of the denitrified nitrogen to the total inorganic nitrogen fluxes was lower at the stretch where an attached microbial community developed un the concrete riverbed the stretch with sand-gravel riverbed. The longer residence times of water masses ut the site with a sand-gravel riverbed is responsible for the above relationship. Based on the average denitrifieation rates, if all the channel of Nogawa River were covered with concrete, the proportion of denitrified nitrogen to the input nitrogen should decrease to 1.3 %, whereas the ratio is 2.5% when the riverbed is composed of sands and gravel. The results suggest that the efficiency of nitrogen removal by benthic denitrification is strongly affected by the structure of a channel of the river.

The purpose of this study is to quantitatively analyze the effects of a restoration project on the decrease in the temperature in the surrounding areas. The thermal environment characteristics of the investigation area were analyzed using the meteorological data from the Busanjin Automatic Weather System which is closest to the target area. The terrain data of the modeling domain was constructed using a digital map and the urban spatial information data, and the numerical simulation of the meteorological changes before and after the restoration of the stream was performed using the Envi-met model. The average temperature of the target area in 2016 was 15.2℃ and was higher than that of the suburbs. The monthly mean temperature difference was the highest at 1.1℃ in November and the lowest in June, indicating that the temperatures in the urban areas were high in spring and winter. From the Envi-met modeling results, reductions in temperature due to stream restoration were up to 1.7℃ in winter, and decreased to 3.5℃ in summer. The effect of temperature reduction was seen in the entire region where streams are being restored.

This research aims at comparing the accuracy of flood discharge estimation. For this, we focused on the Oedo watershed of Jeju Island and compared flood discharge by analyzing the values as follows: (1) the concentration of the lumped model (HEC-HMS) and distributed model (Vflo), and (2) the in-situ data using Fixed Surface Image Velocimetry (FSIV). The flood discharge estimation from the HEC-HMS model is slightly larger than the Vflo model results. This result shows that the estimations of the HEC-HMS are larger than the flood discharge data by 4.43 to 36.24% and that of the Vflo are larger by 8.49 to 11%. In terms of the error analysis at the peak discharge occurrence time of each mapping, HEC-HMS is one hour later than the measured data, but Vflo is almost the same as the measured data.

본 연구에서는 도시하천 유역의 신뢰성 높은 수문해석을 위해 지역적 성향을 고려한 도달시간 및 저류상수 공식을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 국내 대표 도시하천 유역인 중랑천, 탄천, 안양천, 홍제천 내 13개 유역을 대상으로 지역적 성향이 없는 유역특성인자와 지역적 성향이 있는 도시 및 강우특성인자를 분석하였으며, 단계적 다중회귀분석을 통하여 공식을 개발하였다. 개발된 공식은 국내외 경험식들과 함께 도시하천 유역에 대해 정확도를 비교 평가하였다. 분석결과 본 연구에서 개발한 공식의 계산값이 다른 경험식들에 비해 더욱 정확하게 모의하였으며 오차합, 평균오차, 평균제곱근오차 또한 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 도시하천 유역이라는 지역적 성향을 고려하여 공식을 개발함으로써 기존 국내외 경험식들보다 더 나은 결과를 제시하였다는 측면에서 가치가 있다고 판단된다.

The objective of study was to analyze seasonal and inter-annual patterns of water chemistry of Miho Stream watershed during 2004 - 2007 along with some influences of tributaries and summer monsoon on the stream water quality. For the study, eight physico-chemical parameters such as nitrogen, phosphorus, BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a (CHL) etc. were analyzed in relation to spatial and temporal variability of seven sampling sites of the mainstream and some tributaries in the watershed. In the upstream reach, Mean of BOD, COD and TP averaged 3.2 mg/L, 6.5 mg/L and 186 μg/L, respectively, indicating an eutrophic conditions as a III-rank in the stream water quality criteria from the Ministry of Environment, Korea(MEK). The eutrophic water was due to a combined effect of Chiljang tributary with high nutrients (TP=844 μg/L, TN=8.087 mg/L) and the point sources from some wastewater treatment plants. In the meantime, BOD, TN, and TP in the downstream reach were about > 1.2-1.5 folds than the values of the midstream reaches. This was mainly attributed to effluents of nutrient rich-water (mean TN: 11.980 mg/L) from two tributaries of Musim Stream and Suknam Stream, which is directly influenced by nearby wastewater disposal plants. Seasonal analysis of water chemistry showed that summer monsoon rainfall was one of the important factors influencing the water quality, and water quality had a large spatial heterogeneity during the rainfall period. In the premonsoon, BOD in the downstream averaged 6.0±2.47 mg/L, which was 1.4-fold greater than the mean of upstream reach. Mean of CHL-a as an indicator of primary productivity in the water body, was > 2.2 - 2.9 fold in the downstream than in the upstream, and this was a result of the high phosphorus loading from the watershed. Overall, our data suggest that some nutrient controls in point-source tributary streams are required for efficient water quality management of Miho Stream.
