Organization Modeling

The article proposed an appropriate organization modeling for Sai Gon river water quality management based on the analysis having scientific and practical basic about aspects have done and aspects limited of LVS management organization (LVS environmental protection Committee) in past time, lesson learnt from effective LVS management performance of countries in the world as well as based on actual study changes in Sai Gon river water quality in many years and practically coordination management and environmental protection river among local area along river basin. The proposed modeling is feasible and practical aim to protect Sai Gon river water source serving for different purposes such as supply water for domestic demand, industry, irrigation, river landscape – tourism, and waterway etc., towards sustainable development of local area along river basin.

Pollutant Load

The inflow of pollutant load from urban areas and the stagnation of water due to sea water intrusion cause the deterioration of river water quality in tidal zone. In order to improve water quality, various measures such as the reduction of pollutant load by sewage systems, discharge control from sewage treatment plants considering river flow, nutrient removal by aquatic plants, and the dredging of bottom sediments have been examined. The choice of these measures depends on the situation of the river environment and finances. In this study, a field survey was carried out in a typical urban river basin, first. Secondly, on the basis of this survey, a mathematical model was formed to simulate flow and water quality. Several purification alternatives designed for the investigated river basin were comparatively evaluated from the viewpoint of the effect of water quality improvement and their cost. Finally, they were prioritized. Through this case study, a planning process of river water quality management was shown.

Typhoon Morakot

In these years, the global climate change has caused the increase in storm and drought frequency. In August 2009, Taiwan experienced its worst floods in 50 years after Typhoon Morakot struck almost the entire southern region. During the three-day event, Typhoon Morakot brought copious amounts of rainfall, peaking at 2,500 mm, which triggered severe flooding throughout the region. The Kaoping River Basin was one of the most impacted regions in southern Taiwan. A huge amount of sediments and debris flowed into the Kaoping River Basin, which caused high concentration of suspended sediment in the river causing the shut down of water treatment plants. In addition, the Kaoping River receiving significant biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and ammonia loads from hog farms and domestic wastewaters and resulted in the deterioration of water quality. The Water Quality Simulation Program (WASP)/EUTRO model was used to simulate the fate and transport of water quality pollutants and develop water quality management strategies. The developed strategies are able to effectively control the pollutants and improve the Kaoping River water quality.

Objectives : 17 water quality measurement networks (WQMNs, tributaries) in Seoul were analyzed by using NSFWQI and cluster analysis to provide basic data for future river water quality management so that citizens could easily and comprehensively understand the water quality information on the rivers in Seoul.Methods : For the past 3 years (2015~2017), in order to estimate WQI, 9 items, DO (% sat), Fecal coliform, pH, BOD, Temperature change (TC), TP, NO3-, Turbidity and Total solids, were selected from among the 19 water quality data measurement items produced monthly from 17 WQMNs in Seoul. WQI was derived and graded using NSFWQI and cluster analysis was performed using Ward Linkage Method, SOM (Self Organizing Map).Results and Discussion : Water quality of most water quality monitoring networks was BOD Ⅱ grade (slightly good) or higher and TP Ⅲ grade (normal) or higher according to the standard of water quality and water ecosystem river living environment, and NSFWQI was also 64 (Medium)~89 (Good). All showed good water quality. NSFWQI does not show a significant difference by season, so it is believed that it is affected by anthropogenic sources rather than seasonal effects. As a result of examining the correlation between NSFWQI and water quality level according to environmental standards, it was confirmed that R2 has a relatively good correlation with 0.78, and there is no clear difference between the two groups, and through this, it was found that the currently implemented water quality rating system and NSFWQI are well matched. As a result of cluster analysis using ward linkage method and SOM for 17 WQMNs, it was largely divided into 6 groups according to water quality characteristics.Conclusions : It is important to manage pollution sources to systematically manage river water quality as a water resource. It is therefore expected that by converting from the complicated and various water quality information such as is found in this study into a simple water quality index and grouping, the river water quality can be easily understood and can be utilized in the future as basic data for water quality management in Seoul.
