In this study, we analyzed the value of Chl-a by histogram to classify the points where algal management is required. The degree of algal bloom by point was analyzed using the ogive curve, and the algal control points were classified into three stages according to the shape of the frequency distribution table. Of the four major rivers, low concentration of Chl-a appeared most frequently in the Han River, while the high concentration of Chl-a was frequently found at the points of the Geum and the Yeongsan Rivers. In the case of the Han River, no apprehensive areas were found thatrequire intensive management, while most points on the Geum and the Yeongsan Rivers required algal management. Finally, the Nakdong River basin was identified as points requiring algal management from the mid to downstream. The results of this study have confirmation of the possibility that the frequency distribution could be used as a supplementary indicator to express the algal bloom.

낙동강에는 2010-2012년 4대강 사업 완료 후 8개의 다기능 보가 설치되었다. 보 설치로 인해 물의 체류시간이 증가하고 보 상류에는 정체수역이 광범위하게 형성되었다. 이후 지속된 가뭄과 여름철 고온현상이 겹치면서 남조류의 과잉성장(녹조현상)이 빈번히 발생하여 수생태계 건강성에 문제를 초래하는 등 사회적 이슈로 자리잡게 되었다. 조류의 과잉성장을 해결하기 위해 정부에서는 총인(TP) 방류수 수질기준 강화, 펄스형 방류기법 운영 등 대책을 추진하였으며, 녹조 우심지역을 선정하고 지역 특성에 맞는 대응방안을 수립하여 추진하고 있으나, 그 효과가 국부적이고 일시적이어서 근원적 대책 마련이 필요한 실정이다. 일반적으로 남조류의 과잉성장에 영향을 미치는 요소는 높은 영양염류(질소, 인)와 유기물 농도, 고온과 안정적인 성층강도, 그리고 남조류의 생리적 특성 등으로 매우 다양하기 때문에 정확한 발생 원인의 분석이 어려운 경우가 많다. 그러나, 보에 의해 흐름이 조절되는 하천에서는 유량, 유속 및 수온성층 등이 남조류 성장과 천이특성에 가장 민감한 영향을 미친다. 선행 연구사례에서는 유량과 남조류 생체량이 서로 반비례 관계를 가진다는 점과 상 하층간의 온도차(수온성층)가 남조류 우점과 밀접한 관련이 있다는 것을 보였다(Sherman et al. 1998). 따라서 최근 국내에서도 보의 관리수위를 낮추어 유속을 증가시키고 체류시간을 감소시켜 녹조문제를 완화하려는 노력이 추진 중이다. 하지만 하천의 수질은 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 요인들의 복잡한 상호작용의 결과이므로, 단기간의 측정 결과로 보 수위 저하의 효과를 평가하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 이를 과학적으로 평가하기 위해서 수리 수질 생태의 연동해석이 가능한 수치모델을 활용할 필요가 있다. 수치모델은 매개변수를 충분히 보정한다면, 다른 모든 요인은 동일한 조건에서 보 수위 저하만의 영향을 예측하는데 활용가능하다. 본 연구의 목적은 낙동강 수계 중류에 위치한 칠곡보-강정고령보 구간을 대상으로 3차원 수리 수질모델인 EFDC를 구축하고, 실측 자료를 이용하여 모델을 보정한 후 보 관리수위의 저하운영 시나리오에 따른 수질과 남조류의 시 공간적 변동 특성을 분석하는데 있다.

This study note wished to introduce special-purpose ship for algae removal that is developed by core technology of our country. The ship is consisted of main frame and adjuvant that can attach and detach as cross (+) shape of a character. The characteristics of ship are super light weight and low draft. That is consisted of four devices as suction, collection, filtration and recovering units. Among these, filtration used screen filter (mesh size 30 ${\mu}m$). Also, can separate and remove water and algae by compression air participle notion. Percentage of moisture content of concentrated algal particle was 85%. Water parted with algae finally is exhausted to water area. Removal efficiency that compare by chlorophyll-$\alpha$ concentration was about 57% (inflow: 83.2 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, outflow: 35.8 $[\mu}g\;L^{-1}$) without physical and chemical pretreatment. Forward, need to achieve effect test in various conditions (algal biomass, flow etc.) for efficiency and technological elevation of exclusion device. We wished to contribute in presuppression system construction of massive algal development that manage blue-green algae occurrence area effectively, and prevents spread as lower part of reservoir.

Irregular rainfall caused by climate change, in combination with non-point pollution, can cause water systems worldwide to suffer from frequent eutrophication and algal blooms. This type of water pollution is more common in agricultural prone to water system inflow of non-point pollution. Therefore, in this study, the correlation between Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) multi-spectral images and total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll-a with indirect association of algal blooms, was analyzed to identify the usability of UAV image to identify water quality characteristics in agricultural streams. The analysis the vegetation index Normalized Differences Index (NDVI), the Normalized Differences Red Edge(NDRE), and the Chlorophyll Index Red Edge(CIRE) for the detection of multi-spectral images and algal blooms collected from the target regions Yang cheon and Hamyang Wicheon. The analysis of the correlation between image values and water quality analysis values for the water sampling points, total phosphorus at a significance level of 0.05 was correlated with the CIRE(0.66), and chlorophyll-a showed correlation with Blue(-0.67), Green(-0.66), NDVI(0.75), NDRE (0.67), CIRE(0.74). Total nitrogen was correlated with the Red(-0.64), Red edge (-0.64) and Near-Infrared Ray(NIR)(-0.72) wavelength at the significance level of 0.05. The results of this study confirmed a significant correlations between multi-spectral images collected through UAV and the factors responsible for water pollution, In the case of the vegetation index used for the detection of algal bloom, the possibility of identification of not only chlorophyll-a but also total phosphorus was confirmed. This data will be used as a meaningful data for counterplan such as selecting non-point pollution apprehensive area in agricultural area.

This study was aimed to assess the effect of diverse pollutants control measures suggested in the Chuso basin and its upstream of So-oak stream watershed where are the most concerned areas on the control of algal bloom occurring in Daecheong Reservoir. The control measures were classified as watershed measures and in-reservoir measures, and their effects were simulated using a two-dimensional hydrodynamic and water quality model. The watershed measures were made up of 1) point sources control, non-point sources control, and their combinations. The in-reservoir measures were supposed to treat sediment at Chuso basin and to install a phosphorus elimination plant (PEP) at the end of So-oak stream. The results showed that the effect of each measure was influenced by the hydrological condition of the year. In wet year, as the contribution of non-point sources increased, the non-point source control measures (NPS1~NPS4) showed more effective compared to other measures, while, the PEP system to eliminate phosphorus from So-oak stream showed better performance in dry year. In particular, the scenario of NPS1, in which all livestock manures were collected and treated but only chemical fertilizers (NPS1) were used for agriculture fields, showed the best performance for the control of algal bloom in Chuso basin among the watershed measures.

Remote sensing techniques using drone-based multispectral image were studied for fast and two-dimensional monitoring of algal blooms in the river. Drone is anticipated to be useful for algal bloom monitoring because of easy access to the field, high spatial resolution, and lowering atmospheric light scattering. In addition, application of multispectral sensors could make image processing and analysis procedures simple, fast, and standardized. Spectral indices derived from the active spectrum of photosynthetic pigments in terrestrial plants and phytoplankton were tested for estimating chlorophyll-a concentrations (Chl-a conc.) from drone-based multispectral image. Spectral indices containing the red-edge band showed high relationships with Chl-a conc. and especially, 3-band model (3BM) and normalized difference chlorophyll index (NDCI) were performed well (R²=0.86, RMSE=7.5). NDCI uses just two spectral bands, red and red-edge, and provides normalized values, so that data processing becomes simple and rapid. The 3BM which was tuned for accurate prediction of Chl-a conc. in productive water bodies adopts originally two spectral bands in the red-edge range, 720 and 760 nm, but here, the near-infrared band replaced the longer red-edge band because the multispectral sensor in this study had only one shorter red-edge band. This index is expected to predict more accurately Chl-a conc. using the sensor specialized with the red-edge range.
