초록

우리나라 서·남해 연안 지대는 해안으로부터 10 km 범위 내 관정의 약 47%가 해수의 영향을 받은 것으로 보고되었고, 지하수의 염분화 원인이 해수 침투 때문일 것이라 해석되어 왔다. 서천지역의 길산천은 금강하구둑이 건설·운영되어 매립 농지로 이용되기 전까지는 감조하천으로서 유역 내에는 해수에 의한 퇴적물이 생성되고 그 내부에는 염분 공극수가 존재했을 것으로 추정된다. 길산천 소유역 내 지하수는 EC 값이 111~21,000 µS/cm 범위로서 매우 높은 염분 지하수가 존재하며, 수질 유형은 Ca(or Na)-HCO3, Ca(or Na)-HCO3(Cl), Na-Cl(HCO3), Na-Cl 등 다양하게 나타나고 있다. 이러한 수질의 다양성은 강수 및 지표수로부터 유입 생성되는 담수 지하수 수질과 해수 수질의 혼합 현상 때문에 기인되는 것으로 판단된다. 금번 연구에서는 이러한 수질 다양성 및 염분 지하수의 존재가 현재 진행 중인 해수 침투 때문인지 아니면 조간대 퇴적물 내 고(古)염분 공극수가 씻겨나가는 과정에서 잔존하기 때문인지를 논의하였다. 이를 위해, 연구지역 내 강수, 지표수, 해수, 지하수에 대하여 수질 특성을 비교하고, 삼중수소 함량, 산소/수소 안정동위원소 조성, 87Sr/86Sr 비 등을 비교·검토하였다. 산소/수소 안정동위원소 조성으로 볼 때, EC 값이 큰 염분 지하수들의 물 성분은 담수 지하수와 지표수 물이 혼합된 물로 구성되어 있으며, 삼중수소 함량에 의해 추정되는 연령이 젊은 지하수들은 NO3 함량이 높은 지표 영향을 많이 받은 것들로 나타나, 연구지역의 지하수 수질 진화 과정에는 담수 지하수 및 지표수가 지속적으로 영향을 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 담수 지하수/지표수와 해수를 2개의 단성분으로 가정하고 Cl 함량 변화에 따른 Na/Cl ratio와 나트륨흡착도(SAR)의 변화 패턴을 고려하면, 연구지역 지하수들은 해수 침투가 아니라 고염분 지하수의 씻김 현상을 겪고 있는 것으로 해석되었다.

It has been reported that about 47% of groundwater wells within 10 km from the coastline in the western/southern coastal areas of Korea were affected by seawater. It has been interpreted that the cause of groundwater salinization is seawater intrusion. The Gilsan stream in the Seocheon area was a tidal stream until the Geumgang estuary dam was constructed and operated. Therefore, it is likely that the Gilsan stream catchment was deposited with sediments containing high-saline formation water prior to the use of landfill farmland at this catchment area. The groundwater in this study area showed EC values ranging from 111 to 21,000 µS/cm, and the water quality types were diverse including Ca(or Na)-HCO3, Ca(or Na)-HCO3(Cl), Na-Cl(HCO3), Na-Cl types. It is believed that this diversity of water quality is due to the mixing of seawater and fresh groundwater generated by infiltration of precipitation and surface water through soil and weathered part. In this study, we discussed whether this water quality diversity and the presence of saline groundwater are due to present seawater intrusion or to remnant high-saline pore water in sediments during flushing out process. For this, rain water, surface water, seawater, and groundwater were compared regarding the water quality characteristics, tritium content, oxygen/hydrogen stable isotopic composition, and 87Sr/86Sr ratio. The oxygen/hydrogen stable isotopic compositions indicated that water composition of saline groundwaters with large EC values are composed of a mixture of those of fresh groundwater and surface water. Also, the young groundwater estimated by tritium content has generally higher NO3 content. All these characteristics showed that fresh groundwater and surface water have continued to affect the high-saline groundwater quality in the study area. In addition, considering the deviation pattern in the diagrams of Na/Cl ratio versus Cl content and SAR (sodium adsorption ratio) versus Cl content, in which two end members of fresh surface-ground water and seawater are assumed, it is interpreted that the groundwater in the study area is not experiencing present seawater intrusion, but flush out and retreating from ancient saline formation water.
