The changes in COD, TOC, T-P, and T-N concentrations were investigated for 2 years in the constructed wetland of Sookcheon, which was installed to improve the water quality of Daecheong reservoir in South Korea. In order to evaluate the pollution level of sediments in the wetland, settling velocity of particulate material (4 times) and sedimet material contents (6 times) were measured. COD and TOC concentrations increased slightly as they passed through wetlands, and T-N and T-P concentration tended to decrease. The material content (COD, T-P, T-N) of aquatic plants was higher in floating-leaved and free-floating macrophytes than emergent macrophytes. As a result of measuring the sedimentation rate of suspended materials, most of the suspended materials introduced into constructed wetlands were sedimented at a rapid rate in the first sedimentation site. In addition, sediment pollution of T-P and T-N in constructed wetland was in severe pollution. The sediments containing a large amount of T-P and T-N were eluted by physical and chemical environmental changes, which is likely to act as internal pollution sources in wetlands.

The present study has measured the velocity distribution in a three-dimensional shape model of the rectangular settling tank using PIV system. The experiment system consists of hi-speed camera, laser and host computer. Reynolds number based on the guide wall height(H=25mm) has been applied during the whole experiments. The results showed that recirculation flow in settling tank exists and a internal flow weakly influenced by Reynolds number at Re=5×103 greater.

This study was conducted to identify the sedimentation quantity and settling velocity, sediment fundamental data that an important position of water quality management of Seston, POC, PP and PN in Nakdong river basin using a sediment traps to collect suspended material pollutants. Nakdong river basin is that average sedimentation quantity of seston, POC, PP and PN were 124∼1,125 g/m2/d, 2,963∼25,072, 26∼347, 445∼2,184 mg/m2/d, respectively. Settling velocity of Seston, POC, PP and PN were 17.0, 35.5, 8.7, 2.4 m/d. It was appeared that various results according to the river flow, weather and other environmental factors. There was no significant correlation, each suspended material pollutants. Sedimentation rates are likely to be overestimated because the flow is not considered to resuspended materials. Therefore diversification through continued monitoring is needed to be analyzed.

본 연구는 점착성 퇴적물 예측에 가장 중요한 인자인 침강속도를 강 항만 저수지 그리고 호수에 녹아있는 이온 의 첨가 및 밀도의 변화 아래 실시되었다. 정수 중에 부유된 미립자(alumina와 quartz)의 침강 속도는 압력센서(최대 10 mbar)로 측정되었다. 초기 농도 20 g/l에서 alumina와 quartz의 평균 침강속도는 미립자의 응집현상 때문에 최고 값을 보였으며, 이때 각각 최대 평균 침강속도는 0.185 mm/s(alumina)와 0
