Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the temporal and spatial characteristics of water quality data of Nakdonggang watershed which is second largest watershed in South Korea. The correlation between the water quality items for rainy and non-rainy seasons were also analyzed for two TMDL sites which are Gumi and Namji. BOD data of two Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) target sites were compared with TMDL criteria, 3-year arithmetic mean BOD concentration of the target sites should not exceed the target concentration for 2 consecutive years, to figure out current water quality status. Spatial analysis results showed that the correlation coefficient between Goryeong and Hyunpung was highest with the value of 0.978 followed by Hapcheon and Namji with the value of 0.874. The observed BOD data of Gumi station fluctuated around the TMDL criterion, 1.8mg/L while Namji station mostly exceed the criterion, 2.6mg/L. The criteria values for each target sites are defined by Ministry of Environment. The major factor of correlation coefficient was the distance between the stations. The correlation between the water quality items for non-rainy season showed no relation while the correlation between COD and SS was high followed by COD and TP for Gumi and Namji.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역 오염총량관리대상지역의 수질오염물질간의 상관관계를 분석을 통해 하나의 오염 자료를 이용하여 다른 외부 오염자료의 평가에 대한 적용성을 검토하였다. 이를 위해 낙동강 유역의 수질관측 자료를 수집 정리하고 이를 이용하여 지점별 분석을 거쳐 관측지점을 군집화와 수질오염물질간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 낙동강유역환경청에서 제공하는 수질관측지점별 pH, DO, BOD, COD, SS, TN, TP의 1989년부터 2009년까지의 월별 자료를 수집하여 정리하였으며 안동1, 안동2, 예천, 상주 등 12개 지점의 월별 BOD 측정 자료를 이용하여 오염측정지점 간에 상관분석을 실시하였고 군집분석을 수행한 결과 1군은 안동1, 안동2, 예천, 2군은 상주, 상주2, 상주3, 고령, 현풍, 합천, 남지, 3군은 구미와 달성으로 분류되었다. 수질오염물질간 상관분석에서는 오염총량관리대상지역으로 지정되는 구미 지점과 남지 지점에 대해 수질항목별 비강우시와 초기강우시 그리고 이틀간 10 mm이상의 강우시로 구분하여 상관관계를 분석하였다. 그 결과 비강우시와 초기강우시에 두 지점에서 일관성 있는 상관관계를 나타낸 항목은 없었으나 이틀간 강우량이 10 mm이상의 강우시에 구미 지점에서 COD-SS와 COD-TP에서 각각 0.735, 0.563로 높은 상관관계가 있었으며 남지 지점에서도 COD-SS와 COD-TP에서 0.888, 0.788로 높은 상관관계를 나타내 낙동강 유역에서의 수질항목별 상관관계에서 앞서 연구된 새만금 하구 담수호로 유입되는 하천수의 수질항목별 상관관계 분석과 유사한 경향을 보였다.
