The yearly record of precipitation shows 1717.2 mm. The water quality of crop field was worse than forest or grassland in Daewallyeong highland. In 2005, annual T-N, T-P, SS distribution of Chinese cabbage field showed 7.4~11.3, 0.061~0.1, and 3.0~53.0 mg L -1 . The potato field showed 3.1~7.2 , 0.019~0.056 and 0.5~3.0 mg L -1 , respectively. Being compared of water quality between potato field and chinese cabbage field, it showed that the water quality of Chinese cabbage field was worse than potato field. On farming, the soil of crop cultivation showed pH 5.6 to 6.8, 18.0~42.4 g kg -1 of OM, 316~658 mg kg -1 of Avail. P2O5. The content of cations showed 0.41~0.88 cmolc kg -1 of Exch. K, 3.73~7.07 cmolc kg -1 of Exch. Ca and 1.17~1.90 cmolc kg -1 of Exch. Mg.
