C isotopes and noble gases isotopes (He, Ne) were analyzed to determine their recharge age, source of CO 2 gas and noble gases of carbonated hot spring water and carbonated-water samples collected in the Seoqwipo of the Jeju. The pH of the carbonated waters ranges from 6.21 to 6.84, and the high electrical conductivity range (1,928~4,720 µS/cm). Their chemical composition is classified as Mg(Ca, Na)-HCO 3 and Na(Ca, Mg)-HCO 3 types. As a result of the calculation of groundwater age using CFCs concentrations as an environmental tracer, the carbonated water and groundwater were estimated to be about 47.5~57.2 years and about 30.3~49.5 years, respectively. The δ
13C values of carbonated water range from -1.77 to -7.27‰, and are plotted on thr deep-seated field or the mixing field of the deep-seated and inorganic origin. Noble gases isotopic ( Ne) ratio shows that helium gas of carbonated hot waters comes from deep-seated magma origin.
Hancheon reservoir, which is located upstream of Jeju city, has been built for flood mitigation after Typhoon Nari, 2007. To verify flood mitigating effect of the this reservoir on the downstream area, runoff analysis based on the measured data (two stream discharge monitoring stations and inflow data to the reservoir) is carried out during torrential rain followed by typhoon Dainmu, 2010. The stream water level was recorded as 3.14 m for the peak at the down gradient station. The stream water level under the assumption of absence of Hancheon reservoir is calculated as 4.16 m using the estimated rating curve, stream water propagation velocity, and the bypassed volume of water to the reservoir. This result shows that clear effect of reservoir operation which is capable of mitigating peak discharge in the downstream area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
