Abstract

The changes in COD, TOC, T-P, and T-N concentrations were investigated for 2 years in the constructed wetland of Sookcheon, which was installed to improve the water quality of Daecheong reservoir in South Korea. In order to evaluate the pollution level of sediments in the wetland, settling velocity of particulate material (4 times) and sedimet material contents (6 times) were measured. COD and TOC concentrations increased slightly as they passed through wetlands, and T-N and T-P concentration tended to decrease. The material content (COD, T-P, T-N) of aquatic plants was higher in floating-leaved and free-floating macrophytes than emergent macrophytes. As a result of measuring the sedimentation rate of suspended materials, most of the suspended materials introduced into constructed wetlands were sedimented at a rapid rate in the first sedimentation site. In addition, sediment pollution of T-P and T-N in constructed wetland was in severe pollution. The sediments containing a large amount of T-P and T-N were eluted by physical and chemical environmental changes, which is likely to act as internal pollution sources in wetlands.

대청호의 수질개선을 목적으로 설치된 소옥천 인공습지에서 2년간 COD, TOC, T-P, T-N 농도의 변화를 조사하였고, 습지내 퇴적물의 오염도를 평가하기 위하여 퇴적물의 침강속도(4회) 및 물질함량(6회)을 측정하였다. 유입수를 통해 유입된 COD와 TOC는 습지를 통과하면서 약간 증가하였고, T-N과 T-P는 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 습지에 식재된 수생식물은 수중에 뿌리, 줄기, 잎을 뻗고 있는 부엽 및 부유식물에서 유기물, 인, 질소의 함량이 높게 나타났다. 인공습지로 유입되는 부유물질의 대부분은 1차 침강지에서 빠른 속도로 침강되어 많은 양이 제거되는 결과를 나타내고 있었다. 총인과 총질소의 퇴적물 오염도는 심한 오염도 상태를 나타내고 있었으며, 이렇게 총인과 총질소를 다량 함유하고 있는 퇴적물은 물리·화학적 환경변화에 의해 용출되어 습지내에서 내부오염원으로 작용할 가능성이 높다고 할 수 있다.
