Abstract
The urban river has played an important role in biodiversity by providing various waterside areas in urban areas that are difficult for organisms to live in. The river is also used as a resting place and experience space for citizens. In particular, Yeouido Saetgang is the first ecological park in Korea, and it is located in the heart of downtown Seoul, making it highly valuable for its location and ecological value. However, water quality issues have continuously been raised since the construction project of Yeouido Saetgang river. So it is necessary to investigate the environment state and analyze the causes of the environment deterioration. In this study, the causes of the river stagnation and water quality deterioration in Yeouido Saetgang river were analyzed. For this, river surveys and aerial photo analysis were used to analyze the causes of difficulties in natural water circulation. Also, the results of monitoring water quality showed that the averaged level of BOD and T-P in dry season is III and IV, respectively, while that of BOD and T-P are V~VI in rainy season. In addition, through the drainage analysis of sewer network, small drainages that affect the water quality in Saetgang river was selected and discussed.
