본 연구는 광역상수도 요금 변동의 물가파급효과를 정량적으로 분석함으로써 수도 요금 현실화 논의을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 최근 기후위기 심화와 첨단산업의 성장에 따른 용수 수요 증가로 인해 수자원 관리의 중요성이 높아지고 있으며 관련 인프라 투자 확대의 필요성 또한 강조되고 있다. 본 연구는 산업연관분석의 레온티에프 가격모형을 활용하여 광역상수도 요금의 변동(10%)이 국내 생산자물가와 소비자물가에 미치는 영향을 추정하였다. 분석 결과, 생산자물가는 0.0026%, 소비자물가는 0.0033% 수준으로 영향을 주는 것으로 나타나 수도요금 변동이 경제 전반에 미치는 물가영향은 미미한 수준인 것으로 평가된다. 이러한 결과는 광역상수도 요금의 점진적 현실화가 국민 생활과 산업활동에 미치는 영향은 비교적 낮으면서 노후 인프라 개선과 기후변화 대응, 산업용수 수급 안정 등 사회적 필요를 충족시키기 위한 수단으로 기능할 수 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구는 수도 요금 변동의 물가파급효과를 정량적으로 분석함으로써 지속가능한 수도서비스를 위한 재원확보에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 인구감소에 따른 지방소멸 문제를 극복하고 물 복지 형평성 제고를 위해 충청남도의 먹는물 수질안전성 취약지역 및 소규모수도시설 현황을 조사하고, 먹는물 수질기준을 초과하는 소규모수도시설의 시⋅공간적 분포 특성을 분석하였다. 충청남도는 전체인구의 4.3%가 먹는물 수질안전성 취약지역의 소규모수도시설에서 상수도를 공급받고 있다. 충청남도 전체 소규모수도시설의 88%가 정수처리 과정이 없이 지하수를 그대로 공급하고 있으며, 정수처리공정은 막여과(역삼투), 산화흡착공정이 대부분이었고, 소독공정은 전체의 1.9%를 제외하고 자동투입기가 모두 설치되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 충청남도 내 소규모수도시설 가운데 먹는물 수질기준(감시항목 포함)을 초과하는 시설은 전체의 7.1%를 차지하였으며, 건강상 유해영향 무기물질에 관한 기준에 속한 수질항목(불소, 비소, 질산성질소, 우라늄)이 전체의 58.3%, 미생물에 관한 기준에 속한 수질항목(일반세균, 총대장균군, 대장균/분원성 대장균군) 이 27.0%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났다. 건강상 유해영향 무기물질에 관한 기준에 속한 수질항목이 초과한 것은 변성암과 화강암이 넓게 분포하는 지질학적 특성 때문이며, 미생물에 관한 기준에 속한 수질항목이 초과한 것은 전문성이 떨어지는 주민대표 등이 대부분 소규모수도시설의 소독공정을 부적절하게 운영⋅관리하였기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

광역상수도 시설의 노후화가 가속화됨에 따라 체계적인 관로 상태평가와 개량의사결정이 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 이러한 상수도 관로의 개량의사결정 과정에서 정확한 조사와 진단이 수행되지 않는 경우, 관로의 실제 상태를 정확히 반영하지 못해 과도한 개량이 계획되거나, 또는 충분한 안전성 확보가 이루어지지 못하는 등 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 G 광역상수도와, S 광역상수도 2개 구간에 대하여 직접조사를 통해 기존 개량계획의 적정성을 평가하고, 정확한 진단을 바탕으로 한 과학적 의사결정을 통해 물공급 안전성 확보와 유지관리 방안을 제시하였다. 직접조사 결과 G 광역상수도 사례에서는 전체적 도장재 손상으로 인해 기능이 저하되어 비구조적 갱생공법 등을 적용, 복원이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, S 광역상수도의 경우 관로 내면에 전체적으로 분포한 수포 후면에 물이 침투, 부식차단 능력 상실로 기존 계획된 관세척에서 갱생을 통한 기능복원이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 이처럼 관로 직접조사에 기반한 진단은 맞춤형 개량방안 수립으로 관로의 기능복원과 용수공급 안전성 확보에 기여할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Neighboring living facilities and commercial housing have increased along with the rapid expansion of the city. However, unlike general apartment complexes and planned cities, most buildings are built on a narrow site in neighborhood living facilities and commercial housing areas, so securing sidewalk blocks, which are pedestrian passages, is insufficient. The water supply fire hydrant installed in such a narrow sidewalk block has become an obstacle to pedestrian traffic. As a result of the survey, 62% of the walking passages in places where water supply fire hydrant (including protective frames) are installed in the sidewalk block were less than 1.5m. The "Rules on Road Structure and Facility Standards" stipulate that the minimum width of the sidewalk block is 2m or more, and the obstacles and effective width of passage are 1.5m or more. In addition, it was confirmed that the protective frame was interfering with the connection of the fire hydrant hose according to the media reports and the actual results of this study. Therefore, it is necessary to secure a space where the water supply fire hydrant can be used smoothly in case of fire and a safe walking passage, and to manufacture a protective frame, establish construction standards, and prepare legal and institutional standards for efficient maintenance.

본 연구에서는 안전한 수질의 밭 관개용수를 확보하기 위한 다기능 저류조 용수공급시스템을 현장에 적용하여, 효과를 검증하여 현장 적용성을 분석하였다. 용수의 수질 특성을 고려하여 적정 모듈 프로세스로 AOP (Advanced Oxidation Process), SF (Soil Filter)를 적용하였으며, 저류조의 효과 검증은 앞서 다기능 저류조 수처리 저감효율, 미생물 위해성 평가 등을 통해 수행하였다. 시범시설의 조사는 유입수(지표수, 지하수) 2개, 유출수 1개 지점을 2022년 5월부터 9월까지 월 1회(총 5회), 수온, TOC, COD 등 13개 수질항목을 측정하였다. 유출수에서 전항목 수질기준을 만족하였다. 다기능 저류조의 저감효율은 지표수에서 TOC 평균 19.2%, SS 평균 43.8%, T-N 평균 28.1%, T-P 평균 46.9%, Chl-a 평균 70.1%, 지하수에서 수온 평균 7.5% 상승, EC 평균 54.3%의 저감효율을 보여, 다기능 저류조의 수질정화 개선효과를 검증하였다. 미생물 위해성 평가 결과, 평균 위해도 값은 유입수(지하수) –3.02 × 10-6, 유입수(지표수) 2.79 × 10-5로 나타났으며, 다기능 저류저 처리 후 E.coli가 전량 사멸함에 따라 영농작업자의 위해성은 없을 것으로 나타났다.

Risk assessment on Jeju Special Self-Governing Province(JSSGP)’s water supply facilities and establishment of adaptation measures for climate crisis factors were implemented. JSSGP’s vulnerability to the climate crisis was high in the order of drought, heat wave, heavy rain and strong wind. As a drought adaptation measure, policies of water saving and revenue water ratio improvement were considered. As for the heat wave adaptation measure, the introduction of an advanced water treatment process was suggested in response to the increase of algae cell number which resulting in taste and odor problem. As for heavy rain adaptation measures, the installation and operation of automatic coagulant injection devices for water purification plants that take turbid surface water were proposed. As a measure to adapt to strong winds, stabilization of power supply such as installation of dual power line was proposed in preparation for power outages. It is expected that water facilities will be able to supply high-quality tap water to customers even under extreme climate conditions without interruption through risk assessment for climate crisis factors and active implementation of adaptation measures.

In this study, we analyzed how the revenue water ratio(RWR) is affected by changes in conditions of the water supply area, such as the ratio of aging pipes, maintenance conditions, and revenue water. As a result of analyzing the impact of pipe aging and maintenance conditions on the RWR, it was confirmed that the RWR could be decreased if the pipe replacement project to improve the aging pipe ratio was not carried out and proper maintenance costs were not secured. It was also confirmed that an increase in the revenue water could be operated to facilitate the achievement of the project’s target RWR. In contrast, a decrease in the revenue water due to a population reduction could affect the failure of the target RWR. In addition to analyzing the causes of variation in the RWR, the calculation of estimated project costs was considered by using leakage reduction instead of RWR from recent RWR improvement project cost data. From this analysis, it was reviewed whether the project costs planned to achieve the target RWR of the RWR improvement project in A city were appropriate. In conclusion, the RWR could be affected by variations in the ratio of aging pipes, maintenance conditions, and revenue water, and it was reasonable to consider not only the construction input but also the input related to RWR improvement, such as leakage reduction, when calculating the project cost.

This study aims to explore the appropriate water pressure control of water supply pipeline to reduce water losses of water supply network in Jinan-gun. The current water pressure status of each 5 blocks and the impact of optimized water pressure on improving revenue water rate were investigated. In order to obtain the flow rate and water pressure data of each small block, a smart hub is set in the pressure reducing valve chamber at the inlet of the small block, and a smart water pressure meter is installed in the fire hydrant and the faucet of the customer. For the pressure reducing valves installed for water pressure management system of each block, the diameter calculation standard and type of the pressure reducing valve are determined, and the application reasons are put forward. The analysis results of water pressure management for each small block in Jinan-gun show that the pressure control equipment and water pressure management need to be improved in four small blocks. The water flow rate in Jinan-eup and Sangjeon-myeon increases from 57.2% to 87.6% when the water pressure control is completed.

In this study, we collect water control valves that have had accidents due to existing cracks, etc. are collected, and propose investigation items for strengthening the valve structural safety evaluation through a series of analyzes from valve specifications to physicochemical properties are proposed. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a large variation in the thickness of the body or flange of the valves to be investigated, which is considered to be very important factor, because it may affect the safety of the valve body against internal pressure and the flange connected with the bolt nut. Second, 60% of the valves under investigation had many voids in the valve body and flange, etc. and the decrease in thickness due to corrosion was relatively large on the inner surface in contact with water rather than the outer surface. It is judged that the investigation of depth included voids is very important factor. Third, all valves to be investigated are made of gray cast iron foam, and therefore it is judged that there is no major problem in chemical composition. It is judged that the chemical composition should be investigated. Fourth, as a physical investigation item, the analysis of metal morphology structure seems to be a very important factor for nodular cast iron from rather than a gray cast iron foam water valve with a flake structure. As it was found to be 46.7~68.8% of the standard recommended by KS, it could have a direct effect on damage such as cracks, and therefore it is judged that the evaluation of tensile strength is very important in evaluating the safety of the valve.

This study has been conducted to investigate the North Korea water supply system. For this purpose, laws and regulations concerning the North Korea water utilities were analyzed. According to this study, the water supply system of North Korea is similar to that of South Korea. The major difference between these two systems lies in the national water supplier: South Korea has the national water supplier as well as the municipal suppliers, while there is no national water supplier in North Korea. It is noted that the North Korean water utilities depend on outside suppliers for resources necessary for water production such as electricity, chemicals, spare parts, etc. This could damage the North Korean water utilities. If required resources were not delivered properly (deficient quantity and/or at delayed timing), the water suppliers would encounter difficulties in water production.

본 연구에는 가뭄의 유발 요인으로 강수량, 기온, 상대습도 등의 기상현상을 활용하고 가뭄 피해로 인한 대응 요소로서 대체수원, 제한급수, 운반급수 등의 비상급수를 적용하여 AI기반 가뭄 대응 정보 구축 방안을 구성하였다. AI 머신 러닝 기법 중 널리 사용되는 의사결정나무 모형을 통하여 예측 기법을 수립하였다. 연구 대상 지역은 비상급수 활용 빈도가 높고 종관기상관측소가 존재하는 충주시, 안동시, 의성군을 선정하였다. 자료 기간은 2014년부터 2019년까지의 자료를 이용하였으며, 가뭄 유발 기상요인으로 ASOS의 강수량 및 기온, 습도를 이용하고 가뭄 피해 요소로 국가 가뭄정보 포털의 비상급수 현황 자료를 활용하였다. 모형 학습 결과 정확도가 약 0.97, F1-Score가 약 0.5로 나왔으며, 이는 비상급수가 필요한 상황과 그렇지 않은 상황을 97%의 확률로 예측할 수 있음을 의미하며, 비상급수가 필요했던 표본만을 대상으로 했을 경우 약 50%의 확률로 예측이 가능한 것을 의미한다. 따라서 의사결정나무 모형을 적용하여 예측 정확도를 분석한 결과 가뭄 대응 비상급수 준비지역 예측을 위한 적용성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 기상 조건만을 가뭄 유발 요인으로 반영하였기 때문에, 공급수량 부족 등의 요인을 추가적으로 검토할 필요가 있으므로 가뭄과 연관된 요소인 저수지 용량 등을 추가하고 비상급수 이외의 피해 요소 역시 확장하여 연구를 개선하고자 한다.

It is investigated in this study how the water supply system has been developed in North Korea. Articles published in the Rodong Newspaper (North Korea official newspaper) were mainly reviewed for this purpose. It was found in this study that the development of the water supply system in the North Korea was affected by their socioeconomic situations. Their water supply development was categorized into six groups in this study since the first water supply system built in Pyongyang (1910); Occupation period (1910~1945); Introduction period (1946~1950); Restoration period (1951~1960); Advancement period (1961~1970); New village period (1971~1974); Depression period (1974~).

이 연구는 GFRP관을 상수도관으로 사용하기 위해 테스트베드를 설치하여 지중매설된 관의 구조적 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 또한, GFRP관의 역학적 성질을 조사하고 관 강성을 추정하였다. KS규격에서 제시하고 있는 허용드로우와 고압력(사용압력의 1.5∼2.0배), 트럭하중을 적용시켜 관 내부와 외부의 복합하중이 작용할 경우 관 내압의 변화와 관의 거동을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 상수관으로 GFRP관을 장기 사용하여도 충분한 내압을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

Due to global climate change, mega-droughts have occurred frequently. Since long-term droughts make it difficult to secure the water resources, water supply needs to be restricted in a reasonable manner. In the event of limited water supply, the waterworks need to develop a restricted water supply strategy. This study showed that analyzing daily water supply could be used to respond to the first stage of a drought. According to an analysis of Korea's major water authorities, there was about 7~21% of room for daily minimum water supply in case of a drought. Restricting the water supply by lowering pressure is a good strategy for local water authorities with high water leakage rate since leakage is inversely dependent with pressure. For this method, it is necessary to quantify water deficiency and pressure at each node using a simulation. Since DDA-based software is not possible to predict changes in demand at nodes with pressure reduction, WaterGEMS, a PDA software, was used to quantitatively predict water shortages and pressures at each node. Locations where water is deficient need to install booster pumps or to be dispatched with water tank truck and bottled water. Without these support, lowering pressure could not be an option for water works. This paper suggests a method for waterworks to plan a drought by lowering pressure to restrict water supply using daily water supply analysis and PDA based simulation.

In this study, a model to optimize residual chlorine concentrations in a water supply system was developed using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. Moreover, to quantify the effects of optimized residual chlorine concentration management and to consider customer service requirements, this study developed indices to quantify the spatial and temporal distributions of residual chlorine concentration. Based on the results, the most economical operational method to manage booster chlorination was derived, which would supply water that satisfies the service level required by consumers, as well as the cost-effectiveness and operation requirements relevant to the service providers. A simulation model was then created based on an actual water supply system (i.e., the Multi-regional Water Supply W in Korea). Simulated optimizations were successful, evidencing that it is possible to meet the residual chlorine concentration demanded by consumers at a low cost.
