Reduction of Pollutant Load by Small Pond in a Rice Paddy Applied with Pig Manure Compost

Pig slurry has been considered as environmental waste to be treated in an appropriate manner. Moreover, water-born pollution loads by agricultural non-point source(NPS) pollution are expected to become intensified due to ongoing precipitation change. This study was conducted to develop a best management practice to reduce NPS pollution load by agricultural activity with pig manure compost. An eco-friendly way, small drainage pond, was suggested in this study to avoid direct drainage of agricultural runoffs and eventually reduce the amount of pollutants discharged into the surrounding aqua-environment. A small pond($12m^2$) was constructed at the corner of a rice paddy field($17,15m^2$) located in Suwon, Korea. Water was allowed to drain only via a small drainage pond. Sampling was repeatedly made at two locations, one from an entrance and the other from an exit of a pond, during the rice cultivation period(May to October, 2013). Generally, sampling was made only when runoff water drained through a pond, such as during and/or after rain(irrigation). The water quality analysis showed that all quality parameters(SS, $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, and T-P) were improved as water passed through the pond. The amount of runoff water was reduced by 67.8%. Suspended solids and $COD_{Mn}$ concentrations were reduced by 79.8% and 71.9%, respectively. In case of T-N and T-P amounts, the reduction rates were 73.6% and 74.9%, respectively. Our data implies that agricultural NPS pollution from rice paddy fields with pig manure-based fertilizer can be effectively managed when an appropriate drainage water management practice is imposed.

돈분퇴비가 시용된 논의 양분유출 저감을 위한 저류지 효과

양돈분뇨의 처리는 환경문제 해결과 자원으로서 이용 등이 중요한 의미가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 이 두 가지 문제를 동시에 해결하고자 돈분퇴비가 시용된 논의 배수의 오염부하 저감을 위한 저류지 효과를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 경기도 수원시 권선구 서둔동 국립농업과학원 기후변화생태과 시험포장($17,15m^2$)에서 배수로 말단에 논 저류지($12m^2$)를 조성하였다. 2013년 5월부터 10월까지 영농기간 동안 강우사상시 저류지 유입 전인 논 배출수와 저류지를 통과한 배출수의 토사 및 $COD_{Mn}$, T-N, T-P의 부하량을 평가하여 저류지의 효과를 평가하였다. 영농기간 동안 논 저류지를 이용한 논의 유출량은 67.8% 저감되었고 토사를 포함한 부유물질과 $COD_{Mn}$의 총 부하량은 각각 79.8%와 71.9% 저감되었다. 또한 T-N과 T-P의 총 부하량은 각각 73.6%와 74.9% 저감되었다. 따라서 경지기반 정리되어 가축분뇨 퇴 액비 시용이 용이한 논의 경우에는 외부 수계로 배출되기 전 저류지를 설치하면 영양염류의 배출이 저감될 것으로 생각된다.
