Intensive farming systems coupled with a high amounts of fertilizer applied to secure an increasing crop yield have a negative effects on the global environment. The nonpoint source pollution, such as sediments and nutrients from the intensive farming systems and point source pollution from industry are of major threat to the global environment. The point source pollutions from the industries are discernible, which can be fed into wastewater treatment plants before bringing back to the environmental system. Nonpoint source pollutions come from many diffuse sources (surface runoff, atmospheric deposition, precipitation, and seepage) and are more difficult to handle compared to point source pollution.

  • The Dmz Tour Course Guidebook
    THE DMZ TOUR COURSE GUIDEBOOK From the DMZ to the PLZ (Peace and Life Zone) According to the Korean Armistice Agreement of 1953, the cease-fire line was established from the mouth of Imjingang River in the west to Goseong, Gangwon-do in the east. The DMZ refers to a demilitarized zone where no military army or weaponry is permitted, 2km away from the truce line on each side of the border. • Establishment of the demilitarized zone along the 248km-long (on land) and 200km-long (in the west sea) ceasefire line • In terms of land area, it accounts for 0.5% (907km2) of the total land area of the Korean Peninsula The PLZ refers to the border area including the DMZ. Yeoncheon- gun (Gyeonggi-do), Paju-si, Gimpo-si, Ongjin-gun and Ganghwa-gun (Incheon-si), Cheorwon-gun (Gangwon-do), Hwacheon-gun, Yanggu- gun, Inje-gun and Goseong-gun all belong to the PLZ. It is expected that tourist attractions, preservation of the ecosystem and national unification will be realized here in the PLZ under the theme of “Peace and Life.” The Road to Peace and Life THE DMZ TOUR COURSE GUIDEBOOK The DMZ Tour Course Section 7 Section 6 Section 5 Section 4 Section 3 Section 2 Section 1 DMZ DMZ DMZ Goseong Civilian Controlled Line Civilian Controlled Line Cheorwon DMZ Yanggu Yeoncheon Hwacheon Inje Civilian Controlled Line Paju DMZ Ganghwa Gimpo Prologue 06 Section 1 A trail from the East Sea to the mountain peak in the west 12 Goseong•Inje 100km Goseong Unification Observatory → Hwajinpo Lake → Jinburyeong Peak → Hyangrobong Peak → Manhae Village → Peace & Life Hill Section 2 A place where traces of war and present-day life coexist 24 Yanggu 60km War Memoria → The 4th Infiltration Tunnel → Eulji Observatory → Mt.

  • The Korean War Veteran an Independent Internet Publication Dedicated to the Sacrifice and Indomitable Spirit of Those Who Served in the Korean War
    The Korean War Veteran An independent Internet publication dedicated to the sacrifice and indomitable spirit of those who served in the Korean War. January 3, 2011 2011 – Veterans will have many books, videos to choose from that cover history of Korean War By Vince Courtenay The first three chapters of Love and Duty have been sent out on the Internet. I hope they haven’t been embarrassing for anyone – especially the writer. More chapters will follow in intervals of a few days. I wish to note that the year 2010 has been a busy one for many writers and producers. Dan Bjarnason, who recently retired from the CBC TV where he wrote and produced many features about Canadian servicemen, has a book coming this March entitled Triumph at Kapyong, Canada’s Pivotal Battle in Korea . I think it is based on interviews with veterans, possibly including myself and should make good reading. There is no conflict in the two works. Love and Duty is a documentary novel with a broad, historical approach. I believe that Dan has taken an interview approach that compiles the recollections of several veterans. Dan has an Internet site for his new book (click below on link): http://kapyongkorea.wordpress.com/ On the site Dan has exposition from a Canadian who teaches English in Korea. The teacher sometimes explores battlefields. He reports that he has gone onto some of the old positions at Kapyong and recovered .303 brass as well as .30 Springfield that was used in M1 rifles. It is amazing that the old brass exists as it deteriorates quite rapidly and has been subjected to nearly 60 freeze-ups and thaws.
