Abstract
The influence of pollutant loads on the water quality in Jeongeupcheon of Dongjin river was evaluated from Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2003 for two years. The range of pH in water was $6.87{\sim}7.53$. The EC level in upstream ranged from 83 to $95\;{\mu}s/cm$ with the highest value in autumn. The BOD level in upstream rang ed from 0.61 to 1.27 mg/L, which would be I grade according to water quality criteria by Ministry of Environment, but that in downstream was III grade. The average T-N level in midstream ranged from 6.10 to 10.84 mg/L which was the highest values throughout the stretch of the river. The average T-P levels ranged from. 0.41 to 0.98 mg/L Jeongeupcheon was suitable for the agricultural usage based upon one year analysis of river water quality. The effluent loads of BOD was high in midstream (J4) with 553 kg/day. The major sources of T-N loads were livestock, population, land use, and industry in order. The effluent loads of T-N was high in J4 by population and industry while that of T-N was high in J5 and J6 by livestock and land use. The delivered loads of T-N was high in downstream The delivered loads of T-P was low as compared with those of BOD and T-N. The delivery ratio of T-N ranged from 6 to 38%.
