Abstract

Groundwater in small islands is used as main water resource but the overuse of groundwater may cause seawater intrusion and temperature decrease in geothermal wells. This study aimed to characterize the hydrogeology of Maeum-ri area in Seokmo Island of Ganghwagun using long-term monitoring at groundwater wells and geothermal wells. In the monitoring period seasonal water level change, consistent drop or increase of water levels are not detected. The groundwater temperature about 10m below ground surface shows year cycle variation having two to five months difference with ambient temperature cycle. The storativity was calculated by tidal method. The storativity estimated by adapting tidal efficiency factor showed some larger values than that by using tidal time lag. The result suggested that the tidal method assuming several assumptions on aquifer condition may produce broad ranges but the calculated ranges at this application are reasonable. The similar shape of groundwater level change and tidal effects was observed at several wells clustered east-south-east direction which may implicate the distribution of vertical fracture system strongly related with groundwater flow channels. The applied methodology and study results will bc valuable to evaluate optimal pumping rate for the preservation of groundwater resources, and to manage geothermal development.

도서지역의 지하수는 중요한 수자원으로 이용되고 있으나 지하수의 과잉 개발은 해수침투를 유발하거나 온천공에서는 온도 저하 등의 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 석모도 매음리 일대의 온천공 및 지하수공에서 장기 모니터링을 실시하여 연구지역의 수리지질 특성을 추정하였다. 온천공 모니터링 결과 계절적인 수위 변화나 지속적인 수위 하강 또는 상승은 나타나지 않았으며, 공내 약 10 m 내외 심도에서 측정된 지하수온은 몇 개의 공에서 대기 최고온도와 2~5개월 정도의 시간차를 보이며 일년 주기로 나타났다. 그리고 조석 변동에 따른 유효응력 변화를 분석하여 저류계수를 계산하였다. 조석 영향을 분석한 결과 조석효율 요소를 이용하여 계산된 저류계수가 시간지연 요소를 이용한 값들보다 다소 크게 나타났다. 여러 가지 대수층 조건을 가정한 조석 분석법은 넓은 범위의 저류계수 값을 산정할 수 있으나, 본 연구에서 적용한 조석 분석법으로 계산된 값은 합리적이라 판단된다. 측정된 수위 및 조석 변동 형태가 동남향 방향으로 유사한 이유는 지반내 수리지질적인 연결성 또는 단열계의 분포특성에 의한 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구의 결과는 적정 지하수 사용량 또는 지하수 부존 평가나 온천공들의 개발 및 허가량 등에 대한 평가 자료로 이용될 수 있다.
