초록

지류 하천은 본류에 비해 수질 변동성이 심하므로, 지류하천에 대한 효과적인 수질관리를 위해서 단일 수질 항목에 의한 평가보다 다항목의 영향을 고려한 종합적인 평가 방법이 도입되고 있으나 유역 특성이 고려되지 못하는 한계가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 한탄강 중권역을 도시화율 및 가축분뇨 발생량, 산업폐수 배출량으로 도시 유역과 비도시 유역을 분류하고 수질 특성 분석 및 CCME WQI, RTWQI, NSFWQI 산정을 통해 유역 특성별 수질지수의 적합성을 평가하고자 한다. 수질지수 산정시 사용되는 수질항목이 수질지수 결과에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 요인분석을 활용하였다. 요인분석 결과, CCME WQI와 TC, FC의 관계가 도출되었으며, 도시 유역에서 RTWQI와 DO, SS, 비도시 유역에서 NSFWQI와 FC의 관계가 나타났다. 하천생활환경기준 항목인 BOD, T-P 등급과 수질지수 비교를 통해 적합성을 평가하였을 때 도시 유역에서는 수질지수의 적합성이 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 비도시 유역에서 RTWQI를 활용한 종합적인 수질 평가가 가능한 것으로 해석되었다.

Since tributaries have greater water quality variability than main streams, a comprehensive evaluation method that considers the effects of various parameters rather than one water quality parameter has been introduced for effective water quality management of tributaries, but the characteristic of the watershed is not considered. In this study, the urbanization rate, livestock excreta generation, and industrial wastewater discharge in the Hantan River middle-watershed classify urban and non-urban watersheds, and evaluate the suitability of water quality indexes by watershed characteristics by analyzing water quality characteristics and calculating CCME WQI, RTWQI, and NSFWQI. Factor analysis was used to understand the effect of water quality parameters used to calculate the water quality index on the water quality index results. As a result of the factor analysis, the relationship between CCME WQI, TC, and FC was derived, and the relationship between RTWQI and DO, SS in urban watersheds and NSFWQI and FC in non-urban watersheds was revealed. As a result of evaluating suitability through comparison with BOD and T-P grades, it was interpreted that the suitability of the water quality index was low in urban watersheds and that comprehensive water quality evaluation using RTWQI was possible in non-urban watersheds.
