Abstract

The purpose of this study was to validate the EFDC model for the weir pool of Gangjeong-Goryong Weir located in Nakdong River, and evaluate the effect of flow control and phosphate loading reduction on the water quality and algae biomass by group (Diatom, Green, Cyanobacteria). As a result of model validation using 2018 experimental data,the time series of water level and vertical distribution of water temperature, DO, organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus time series were properly simulated. Seasonal fluctuations of algae biomass by group were adequately reproduced, but the deviations between measured and simulated values were significant in some periods. As a result of scenario simulations to control the water level and flow rate, the thermal stratification was resolved as the water level was lowered and the flow rate increased. The flow velocity at which the water temperature stratification was resolved was about 0.1 m/s, which is consistent with the previous study results of Baekje Weir in Geum River. Simulations of the 2Q flow scenario showed that Chl-a decreased by 8.7% and the cell density of diatom and green algae declined. The cell density of cyanobacteria increased, however, because the high concentrations of cyanobacteria in the upstream boundary conditions directly affected downstream due to increased flow velocity. In the scenario simulation of reducing the influent phosphate load concentration (average 0.056 mg/L) to 50%, Chl-a decreased by 13.6%.The results suggest that the upstream algae concentration and phosphorus load reduction should be considered simultaneously with hydraulic control to prevent algal overgrowth of Gangjeong-Goryong Weir.

본 연구의 목적은 낙동강 내에 위치한 강정고령보 구간을 대상으로 EFDC 모델을 검정하고, 보 구간의 유량에 따른 체류시간과 유입수 인 농도 변화가 수질 및 조류 그룹별(규조류, 녹조류, 남조류) 생체량에 미치는 영향을 평가하는데 있다. 2018년 실험자료를 이용하여 모델을 검정한 결과, 보 구간의 수위와 수온의 수직 분포, DO, 유기물, 질소, 인 계열의 시계열 변화를 적절히 모의하였다. 조류 그룹별 생체량 예측에 있어서는 계절별 변동 특성은 적절히 재현하였으나, 일부기간에 실측값과 편차가 크게 나타났다. 보의 관리수위와 유량을 조절하는 시나리오 모의결과, 보의 운영 수위를 낮출수록 유량을 증가시킬수록 수온성층이 완화 또는 해소되는 것으로 분석되었다. 강정고령보에서 수온성층이 해소된 유속은 약 0.1 m/s였으며, 이는 금강의 백제보에서 연구결과와 일치한다. 2Q 유량 시나리오 모의결과, Chl-a는 8.7% 감소하였고 규조류와 녹조류 세포수 밀도도 감소하였다. 하지만 남조류 세포수는 오히려 증가하였는데, 그 이유는 유량이 증가함에 따라 유속이 빨라져 상류경계조건의 높은 남조류 농도가 하류에 직접 영향을 끼친 것으로 나타났다. 유입수 인 부하 농도(평균 0.056mg/L)를 50% 수준으로 저감하는 시나리오 모의결과, Chl-a는 13.6 % 감소하였다. 연구결과는 강정고령보의 조류 과잉성장을 억제하기 위해서는 수리학적 제어와 함께 상류 유입 조류 농도와 인 부하량 저감이 동시에 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.
