Abstract

This study aimed to predict total phosphorus (T-P) to address early eutrophication caused by nutrient influx from various human activities. Traditional T-P monitoring systems are labor-intensive and time-consuming, leading to a global trend of using direct reading sensors. Therefore, this study utilized water quality parameters obtained from direct reading sensors in a two-stage T-P prediction process. The importance of turbidity (Tur) in T-P prediction was examined, and an analysis was conducted to determine if T-P prediction is possible using only direct reading sensor parameters by adding automatic water quality analyzer parameters. The study found that T-P concentrations were higher in the mid-lower reaches of the Nakdong River basin compared to the upper reaches. Pearson correlation analysis identified water quality parameters highly correlated with T-P at each site, which were then used in multiple linear regression analysis to predict T-P. The analysis was conducted with and without the inclusion of Tur, and the performance of models incorporating automatic water quality analyzer parameters was compared with those using only direct reading sensor parameters. The results confirmed the significance of Tur in T-P prediction, suggesting that it can be used as a foundational element in the development of measures to prevent eutrophication.

본 연구는 다양한 인간의 활동으로 인해 공공수역에 영양물질이 유입됨에 따라 발생하는 부영양화를 초기에 대응하기 위해 T-P (Total Phosphorus) 예측을 진행하였다. 기존의 T-P 모니터링 시스템은 인력 및 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 존재해 직독식 센서를 활용한 측정이 국내외를 막론하고 많이 시도되고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 직독식 센서를 통해 얻을 수 있는 수질항목을 활용하여 T-P 예측을 진행하였으며, 두 단계로 나누어 진행하였다. T-P 예측에 있어 Turbidity (Tur)의 중요성에 대해 살펴보았으며, 자동수질분석기 분석항목을 추가한 분석을 통해 직독식 센서 측정 항목만으로 T-P 예측이 가능한지 살펴보았다. 본 연구의 연구 대상 지점인 낙동강 유역 내 T-P 현황을 살펴본 결과, T-P 농도가 상류 지역 대비 중·하류 지역에 높게 나타났다. Pearson 상관분석을 통해 지점별로 T-P와 상관성이 높은 수질항목을 파악하였으며, 이를 활용하여 다중선형회귀분석을 진행하여 T-P를 예측하였다. Tur의 유무에 따른 분석을 진행하였으며, 자동수질분석기 분석항목이 포함된 분석을 통해 직독식 센서 측정 항목과의 성능을 비교하였다. 결과적으로 Tur 활용의 중요성을 확인하였으며, 이는 부영양화 개선 대책 수립을 위한 보조 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
