Abstract

Drought, which has been increasing in frequency and magnitude due to recent abnormal weather events, poses severe challenges in various sectors. To address this issue, it is important to develop technologies for drought monitoring, forecasting, and response in order to implement effective measures and safeguard the ecological health of aquatic systems during water scarcity caused by drought. This study aimed to predict water quality fluctuations during drought periods by integrating the watershed model HSPF and the water quality model QUAL-MEV. The researchers examined the SPI and RCP 4.5 scenarios, and analyzed water quality changes based on flow rates by simulating them using the HSPF and QUAL-MEV models. The study found a strong correlation between water flow and water quality during the low flow. However, the relationship between precipitation and water quality was deemed insignificant. Moreover, the flow rate and SPI6 exhibited different trends. It was observed that the relationship with the mid- to long-term drought index was not significant when predicting changes in water quality influenced by drought. Therefore, to accurately assess the impact of drought on water quality, it is necessary to employ a short-term drought index and develop an evaluation method that considers fluctuations in flow.

최근 이상기후 현상으로 발생빈도 및 규모가 증가한 가뭄은 다양한 분야에서 극심한 문제를 유발하여 가뭄에 의한 물부족 발생 시 수생태 건강성 확보를 위한 합리적인 대응 방안을 마련하기 위해 가뭄 감시, 전망 및 대응기술 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 유역모델 HSPF와 수질모델 QUAL-MEV를 연계하여 가뭄 기간 물 부족 상태가 수문 순환을 통해 변동되는 수질을 예측하였다. SPI, RCP 4.5 시나리오를 검토하고 HSPF 및 QUAL-MEV를 활용하여 유량변동에 따른 수질변화를 모의하여 유량변동에 따른 수질 변화를 분석하였다. 갈수기 유량과 수질의 관계는 높으나 강수량과 수질의 관계는 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 유량 및 SPI6는 상이한 경향이 나타나 가뭄의 영향으로 변화되는 수질 예측시 중장기 가뭄지수와 관계는 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 가뭄에 의한 수질 영향을 평가하기 위해 단기간의 가뭄지수 활용 및 유량 변동에 따른 평가방안 마련이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
