In Korea, length of irrigation and drain canal is about 98,638 km. In the case of 2011, dredging on the irrigation and drain canal was 7,288 km about 3,290,483 ㎥, cost of dredging was about 5.6 billion won and cost of dredging increases every year. (Korea Rural Community Corporation, 2013)In the case of land reclamation, the problem of cross-contamination due to leachate after landfill is expected, causing saturation of the landfill site, or complaints of landfill local residents, a number of problems. The ocean landfill is possible if the items of 14 types as defined in the Sea Pollution Prevention Law contained in sediment soil, such as chromium. In terms of cost and labor, it is need to develop a technology utilizing a processing method reasonable sediments for irrigation and drainage canal.The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the sediment deposited on the irrigation and drain canal. it is to provide basic data for the scheme that can be efficiently recycled sediment deposited on the irrigation and drain canal.
