Abstract

As the domestic water management policy shifted from concentration-oriented water management to load management-centered Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), water quality and aquatic ecosystems brought changed. However, it was difficult to determine whether the water quality and the health of the aquatic ecosystem improved after the implementation of the TMDL due to changes in pollutant sources and discharge fluctuations ect, so the effect was analyzed using a log-linear model and biological indicators (Benthic Macroinvertebrates). As a result, BOD and T-P concentrations in the Jinwi River Watershed were reduced by 30% and 35%, showed the effect of improving water quality, however the benthic macroinvertebrates index (BMI) downgraded from grade D to grade E. Therefore, efforts to cultivate ecologicalrivers are necessary to upgrade the health of the aquatic ecosystem in the river watershed.

국내 물관리정책은 농도 중심의 물관리에서 부하량 관리 중심의 오염총량관리로 전환되면서 수질 및 수생태계에 변화를 가져왔다. 하지만 오염원의 변화와 유량 변동 등으로 총량제 시행 이후 수질 및 수생태계 건강성이 개선되었는지 판단하기 어려워 로그선형모델과 생물지표(저서성 대형무척추동물)를 활용하여 효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 진위천수계의 BOD와 T-P농도는 각각 30%, 35% 저감되어 수질개선 효과를 보였으나, 저서생물지수(BMI) 결과 D등급에서 E등급으로 악화되었다. 진위천수계의 수생태계 건강성을 개선하기 위해서 생태하천을 가꾸는 노력이 필요하다.
