Abstract
Innovative water management is the first priority for the Saemangeum Project, a national project for a building global city as a frontrunner of green growth because there has been a big debate concerning the environmental problems (water quality, destruction of mud flats and so on). This study aims at identifying the change of water quality with time and analyzing the cause of its tendency. Results of this study verify that the importance of water quality is required when preparing water infrastructure for smart water use and may use for establishing a proper management plan in the Mangyeong River basins of the Saemangeum.
