하천과 호수 등 공공수역에서 측정되는 수질자료는 수자원 및 수생태계의 실태를 파악하기 위한 가장 중요한 요소이며, 측정망 운영으로 장기간 측정된 방대한 수질자료를 이용하여 신뢰성 있는 장기 경향 추세를 분석하는 것 또한 매우 중요하다. 장기간 생산된 수질자료에 대한 통계적 경향분석을 실시함으로써 정량적으로 수질자료를 분석할 수 있는데 우선 일정한 장소에서 동일한 측정기법을 통해 비교적 장기간 동안 일정간격으로 측정된 수질자료가 필요하다. 우리나라의 수질자료는 1990년도 이후부터 잘 축적되어 왔으므로 비로소 시간에 따른 수질변화 경향을 파악하는 것이 용이해졌다. 이러한 수질경향 분석을 통하여 수체 내부에서 일어나는 여러 가지 수질 변화 과정을 이해하고 적절한 수질관리 대책을 마련할 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 수질자료의 경향을 분석하기 위하여 비모수적 통계기법의 수질 경향을 분석하는데 많이 활용되는 맨-켄달 검정기법(Mann-Kendall Test)과 LOWESS(LOcally WEighted Scatter polt Smoother) 경향분석법을 적용하였다. 맨-켄달 검정기법은 선형 경향을 기본 가정으로하기 때문에 대상 기간 동안 경향성이 변할 경우에는 이를 적절히 반영할 수 없는 단점이 있으나 LOWESS 경향분석법은 이를 보완하기 위하여 특정회귀모델을 가정하지 않고 이동 직선에 대한 수질자료 점들을 통해 회귀모델을 적합 시키는 방법으로 기간 내 변화하는 경향성을 파악 할 수 있는 대상지점은 영산강본류 중심으로 지류지천을 포함하여 18개 지점에 대하여 분석하였으며, p-value값은 0.05를 기준으로 미만일 경우 경향성이 있고, 이상일 경우 경향성이 없는 것으로 분류하였으며, Trend는 경향성이 있다고 판단될 경우 S값이 양수이면 증가하는 경향으로, S값이 음수이면 감소하는 경향으로 판단하였다. 경향분석을 통해 영산강 18개 지점을 분석한 결과 영산강 상류와 중류, 지류에 대한 전체적인 경향을 판단할 수 있었다.

금호강수계를 대상으로 1998년부터 2007년까지의 환경부의 수질측정망 대상수질자료를 이용하여 월별 수질경향을 LOWESS 경향분석법을 적용하여 장기수질경향을 분석하였다. 금호강을 상류, 중류, 하류로 구분하여 각각 3개 지점의 수질측정망에 대해서 대표수질항목인 BOD, TN, TP, EC에 대하여 수질환경 오염의 장기 경향을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 금호강의 위치에 따른 수질오염의 연도별 변화를 나타내는 것으로 수질 개선의 지방자치나 중앙의 수질 정책과 행정에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것이다.

Long-term trends (e.g. 1997~2010) of chlorophyll a and water quality properties of the Yeongsan River were analyzed by using water quality monitoring data collected by the water information system, ministry of environment. Nine monitoring stations were selected along the main channel of the river, and parameters of BOD, COD, TN, TP, conductivity, TSS and chlorophyll a were collected for surface water monthly through the monitoring system. Trends of water quality and chlorophyll a were analyzed by the Seasonal Mann-Kendall Test and LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatter-plot Smoother). The results showed that the water quality parameters, including chlorophyll a, were improved in all stations except Station WC in the most-upper region, where water quality data for the determined parameters were increased, indicating a reduction in water quality. Based on the results from LOWESS analysis, chlorophyll a (algal blooms), BOD and COD recently began to increase after 2007 suggesting that an additional study on the cause of these increases in organic pollution, as well as a better management system for the region are required.

In order to assess the effect of TMDLs management and improve that in the future, it is necessary to analyze long-term changes in water quality during management period. Therefore, long term trend analysis of BOD was performed on thirty monitoring stations in Geum River TMDL unit watersheds. Nonparametric trend analysis method was used for analysis as the water quality data are generally not in normal distribution. The monthly median values of BOD during 2004~2010 were analyzed by Seasonal Mann-Kendall test and LOWESS(LOcally WEighted Scatter plot Smoother). And the effect of Total Maximum Daily Loads(TMDLs) management on water quality changes at each unit watershed was analyzed with the result of trend analysis. The Seasonal Mann-Kendall test results showed that BOD concentrations had the downward trend at 10 unit watersheds, upward trend at 4 unit watersheds and no significant trend at 16 unit watersheds. And the LOWESS analysis showed that BOD concentration began to decrease after mid-2009 at almost all of unit watersheds having no trend in implementation plan watershed. It was estimated that TMDLs improved water quality in Geum River water system and the improvement of water quality was made mainly in implementation plan unit watershed and tributaries.

This paper is based on water information system of NIE, National Institute of Environmental Research. We used monthly data of water quality from January, 2013 to August, 2013 starting from measuring point A (nbA) to measuring point N (nbN) located along the Nakdong river main stream. Statistical water quality analysis of BOD (biological oxygen demand) is specified by R programming depending on month, year, and points. Based on BOD measured from Nakdong river's measuring points, we used exploratory data analysis and locally weighted scatter plot smoother (Lowess) trend analysis, which is a method of non-parametic regression analysis, to analyze long-term water tendency and water quality distribution depending on points. Also, we analyzed the period and the measuring point of which the outliers are abundant. As a result, compared to BOD measured in nbM located in Busan along the downstream, BOD measured in nbG located in Daegu and nbI located in Changwon along the midstream showed higher rate of water pollution at a severe level.

Spatial and temporal analysis of water quality was performed for eleven monitoring stations in Dongjin River watershed in order to determine the trends of monthly water quality. The monthly water quality data of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) during $1995{\sim}2004$, were analyzed utilizing Seasonal Mann-Kendall test, LOWESS and three-dimensional graphic approaches. The results indicated that BOD and TN concentrations had the downward trend, but TP showed the upward trend, especially in Gobucheon. This numerical and graphic analysis is the useful tool to analyze the long-term trend of water quality in a large river system.
