Abstract

In the study, the water quality of the Imjin River basin with pollutants of changing characteristics it was determined through statistical analysis, correlation analysis, principle component and factor analysis, and cluster analysis. Among all analyzed data points, the average water quality concentration at the Sincheon 3 site shows high levels of BOD 13.4 mg/L, COD 19.9 mg/L, T-N 11.145 mg/L, T-P 0.336 mg/L, TOC 14.2 mg/L, indicating that Sincheon basin requires intersive water quality management out of the entire drainage basin. The correlational analysis of comprehensive water quality data shows statistically significant correlation between COD, TOC, BOD, T-N water quality factors, as well as finding of high correlation between organic and nutrients. The principal component analysis show that 2 main components being extracted at 81.221% from the measuring station's entire data, while seasonal data show 3 main components being extracted at 96.241%. Factor analysis of the entire data set and the seasonal data identify BOD, COD, T-N, T-P, TOC as the common factors influencing water quality. The spatial and temporal cluster analysis showed 4 groups and 3 groups, respectively, according to seasonal characteristics and land use. By analysing the water quality factors for the Imjin River basins over an 8 year period, with consideration to the spatial and temporal characteristics, this study will become the fundamental analytic data that will help understand the future changes of water quality in the Imjin River basin.

본 연구에서는 오염원의 변화 특성이 다양한 임진강유역을 대상으로 통계분석을 이용하여 상관분석, 주성분 및 요인분석, 군집분석을 통해 수질특성을 파악하였다. 신천3 지점의 평균 수질농도가 BOD 13.4 mg/L, COD 19.9 mg/L, TN 11.145 mg/L, TP 0.336 mg/L, TOC 14.2 mg/L로 높게 나와 전체 유역 중 신천 유역에 대한 집중적인 수질관리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 전체 수질측정 자료의 상관분석 결과 COD는 TOC, BOD, TN 수질인자와 유의한 상관관계를 보여 유기물과 영양염류인자간의 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 주성분분석 결과 전체 측정소 자료는 81.221%로 2개의 주성분, 계절별 자료는 96.241%로 3개의 주성분이 추출되었다. 요인분석 결과 전체 측정소 자료와 계절별 자료의 수질영향 요인은 공통적으로 BOD, COD, TN, TP, TOC 항목이 나타났다. 시 공간적 군집분석 결과 계절별 특성 및 토지이용에 따라 각각 4개, 3개 그룹으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 임진강유역을 중심으로 8년간 시 공간적 특성을 고려한 수질 요인을 분석한 것으로 향후 유역환경변화에 따른 임진강 유역의 수질 변화를 이해하기 위한 기초 분석 자료가 될 것이다.
