Analysis of Influence on Stream Water Quality by Soil Erosion Control Structures

This study was carried out to establish the construction guidelines of soil erosion control structures for a restoration of mountain stream with analysis of water quality around constructed soil erosion control structures in mountain streams. Water pH of the Uidong valleys in Bukhansan (Mt.) was similar between the constructed soil erosion control structures of lower stream areas [pH 6.53(6.25~6.82)] and the non-constructed areas of upper stream areas [pH 6.32(5.73~6.90)]. Mean concentration of dissolved oxygen was also similar between the constructed soil erosion control structures of lower steam areas [10.2 mg/L(9.9~10.4 mg/L)] and the non-constructed areas of upper stream areas [10.3 mg/L (9.6~10.6 mg/L)]. Mean electric conductivity was similar between the lower [$63.9{\mu}S/cm$ ($32.6{\sim}120.4{\mu}S/cm$)]a nd the upper stream areas [$62.2{\mu}S/cm$ ($40.3{\sim}89.5{\mu}S/cm$)]. Mean concentration of anions was also similar between the lower [15.94 mg/L (3.43~7.98 mg/L)] and the upper stream areas [14.51 mg/L (2.56~4.29 mg/L)]. Water pH of the Honggei valleys in Sancheong-gun was similar between the lower [pH 6.86(6.50~7.10)] and the upper stream areas [pH 6.89(6.61~7.12)]. Mean concentration of dissolved oxygen was also similar between the lower [11.9 mg/L(11.5~12.3 mg/L)] and the upper stream areas [12.2 mg/L (11.6~12.6 mg/L)]. Mean electric conductivity was similar between the lower [$633.4{\mu}S/cm$ ($31.6{\sim}34.6{\mu}S/cm$)] and the upper stream areas [$32.7{\mu}S/cm$ ($31.4{\sim}34.3{\mu}S/cm$)]. Mean concentration of anion was also similar to both stream areas [1.0 mg/L (0.1~2.2 mg/L)]. Water quality in the Uidong and the Honggei valleys was not significantly different between the constructed soil erosion control structures of lower stream areas and the non-constructed areas of upper stream areas. It will be needed to study the time-series analysis of water quality before and after the construction of soil erosion control structure the restoration of mountain streams because the water quality in mountain streams could be affected during the construction processes of structures.

사방공작물이 계류수질에 미치는 영향 분석

이 연구는 계류에 설치되어 있는 사방공작물이 계류수질에 미치는 영향을 구명함으로써 계류복원을 위한 사방공작물의 설치방향을 정립하기 위한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행하였다. 북한산 우이동 계곡에서 사방공작물이 설치되어 있지 않은 상류지역의 평균pH는 6.32(5.73~6.90)로 사방공작물을 통과한 계류인 하류지역의 평균pH[6.53(6.25~6.82)]와 유사하였으며, 상류지역에서의 평균용존산소량은 10.3(9.6~10.6) mg/L로 사방공작물을 통과한 하류지역에서의 평균용존산소량 10.2(9.9~10.4) mg/L와 유사하였다. 평균전기전도도는 상류지역에서는 $62.2(40.3{\sim}89.5){\mu}S/cm$, 하류지역에서는 $63.9(32.6{\sim}120.4){\mu}S/cm$로 유사하였고, 평균음이온총량은 상류지역에서 4.51(2.56~4.29) mg/L, 하류지역에서 5.94(3.43~7.98) mg/L로 유사하였다. 산청군 홍계계곡에서 평균pH는 상류지점에서 6.89(6.61~7.12), 하류지점에서 6.86(6.50~7.10)으로 유사한 값을 나타내었고, 평균용존산소량은 상류지점에서 12.2(11.6~12.6) mg/L, 하류지점에서 11.9(11.5~12.3) mg/L로 유사하였다. 평균전기전도도는 상류지점에서 $32.7(31.4{\sim}34.3){\mu}S/cm$, 하류지점에서 $33.4(31.6{\sim}34.6){\mu}S/cm$로 유사하였고, 평균음이온총량은 상류와 하류지점에서 1.0(0.1~2.2) mg/L로 매우 유사한 값을 나타내었다. 북한산 우이동계곡과 산청군 홍계계곡을 대상으로 사방공작물이 설치되어 있지 않는 자연계류와 사방공작물이 설치된 하류지역에서의 계류수질을 분석한 결과 상하류간의 수질은 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 사방공작물은 시공과정에서 계류수질에 영향을 미치므로 계류복원을 위하여는 각 개별 사방공작물에 대하여 시공 전후의 계류수질변화과정을 시계열적으로 심도 있게 연구할 필요가 있다.
