Abstract

Although the detected amounts of those disease-causing(oo)cysts were high at each point in 2001, the detected amounts of Cryptosporidium and Giardia had decreased at low levels below 10(oo)cysts until 2004. Considered the detection results of each season, the most highly detected amounts of(oo)cysts were mostly recorded in summer and late summer(from June to September), while the site which the biggest amount was detected, was the point at Goryeung. The relation of Cryptosporidium with the water quality items was low, but the relations of Cryptosporidium and Giardia with turbidity were high($R^2$=0.4914, $R^2$=0.6176 respectively). And the detected amounts of Cryptosporidium and Giardia were relatively high, 20(oo)cysts/20L when the turbidity was more than 20 NTU. It was also found that the relation between the distribution of Cryptosporidium and Giardia was high, $R^2$=0.8432 and the density of Giardia was generally higher than that of Cryptosporidium. And Cryptosporidium and Giardia were simultaneously detected at each point. The primary sources that affected the density of those(oo)cysts were the livestock waste water and sewage.

년도별 검출결과 2001년도에 각 지점별로 많은 검출을 보였지만 2004년도로 갈수록 Cryptosporidium과 Giardia 모두 10(oo)cysts/20 L 이하의 낮은 검출을 보였으며, 계절별로는 여름철과 늦여름($6{\sim}9$월)이 가장 많이 검출되었으며 지점별로는 고령교가 가장 높게 검출되었다. Cryptosporidium과 수질지표분석항목은 낮은 상관성을 보였으나 탁도와의 상관성에서는 Cryptosporidium의 경우 $R^2$=0.4914, Giardia는 $R^2$=0.6176으로 높게 나타났으며 Cryptosporidium보다 Giardia가 더 높은 상관성을 보였다. 그리고 탁도가 20 NTU 이상 일 때 Cryptosporidium과 Giardia의 검출이 대체로 20(oo)cystsd/20L 이상 높게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. Cryptosporidium과 Giardia의 상관성은 $R^2$=0.8432로 높게 나타났다. 각 지점별로 Cryptosporidium과 Giardia는 동시에 검출되고 있었으며, Giardia의 농도가 대체로 높게 나타났다. 축산폐수나 하수의 영향이 큰 것으로 나타났다.
