초록

본 연구는 낙동강 하구사주 전면(해빈영역) 지하수위 변동 특성에 관한 연구로서 현장 관측에 기반한 실험적 논문이며, 외력에 의한 사주 지하수위 변동 및 식생대와의 상호작용을 중심으로 해석하였다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 강우 발생시 지하수위의 상승이 발생함을 알 수 있는데 하계 강우량이 20 mm/hour 이상인 경우 내부수위는 20 cm 이상 급격히 상승하게 되며 상승한 지하수위는 무강우 상태일 때 서서히 감소한다. 또한 계절적 변화 특성을 살펴보면 전반적으로 하계(우기)에 상승하며 동계(건기)에 하강하는 경향을 보인다. 또한 3년간(2012년~2014년) 관측결과로부터 시간 평균된 지하수위면(Average groundwater-table)은 평균해수면(M.S.L.) 보다 약 1.47 m 가량 상승한 상태였으며, 조간대 정점보다는 내측으로 갈수록 연평균 지하수위면이 상승하는 것으로 조사되었다. 아울러 사구 식생대는 공간상으로 차이를 보이며 해안사구의 유무는 식생대의 전진에 영향을 주고 있다. 즉, 해안선에서 이격거리 및 해빈경사에 따라 지하수위 변동이 공간적으로 동일하다면, 염수 침입시 사구의 유무는 식생대가 안정적으로 생육할 수 있는 지반조건 및 지하수위를 제공한다고 할 수 있다.

Field observations were used to study the characteristics and influence of groundwater level fluctuations on vegetation development on the natural beach of a sandy barrier island, in the Nakdong River estuary. The spatial/temporal fluctuations of the groundwater level and the interactions with the external forces (weather, ocean wave and tide) were analyzed. The results indicated that when it rains the groundwater level rises. During summer, when precipitation intensity is greater than 20 mm/hour, it rose rapidly over 20 cm. Subsequently, it fell gradually during periods of no precipitation. Seasonal characteristics indicated that the groundwater level was high during the summer rainy season and tended to fall in the winter dry season. The time-averaged groundwater level, observed from the four observations over 3 years (2012-2014), was about 1.47 m, higher than mean sea level (M.S.L.). It was shown that the average annual groundwater level rises toward the land rather than showing intertidal patterns observation. Differences in the presence or absence of a coastal sand dunes affected the progress of vegetation. In other words, in environments of saltwater intrusion where the groundwater level varies, dependent on the distance from the shoreline and bottom slope, sand dunes can be provided to affect soil conditions and groundwater, so that vegetation can be grown reliably.
