This study was carried out to suggest the best statistical test to analyze the trend in monthly water quality data. Traditional parametric tests such as t-test and regression analysis are based on the assumption that the underlying population has a normal distribution and regression analysis additionally assumes that residual errors are independent. Analyzing 9-years monthly COD data collected at Paldang in Han River, the underlying population was found to be neither normal nor independent. Therefore parametric tests are invalid for trend detection. Four Kinds of nonparametric statistical tests, such as Run Test, Daniel test, Mann-Kendall test, and Time Series Residual Analysis were applied to analyze the trend in the COD data, Daniel test and Mann-Kendall test indicated upward trend in COD data. The best nonparametric test was suggested to be Daniel test, which is simple in computation and easy to understand the intuitive meaning.

Spatial and temporal analyses of water qualities were performed for 11 monitoring stations located in Mangyung watershed in order to analyze the trends of monthly water quality data of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) measured from 1995 to 2004. The long-term trends were analyzed utilizing Seasonal Mann-Kendall test, LOWESS and three-dimensional graphs were constructed with respect to distance and time. The graph can visualize spatial and temporal trend of the long-term water quality in a large river system. The results of trend analysis indicated that water quality of BOD and TN showed the downward trend. This quantitive and quantitative analysis is the useful tool to analyze and display the long-term trend of water quality in a large river system.

경향성을 분석하기 위한 여러 기법 가운데 비모수적 방법인 Mann-Kendall 검정(MK 검정)은 수문시계열의 분석에서 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 이 검정 방법은 분석 대상 자료가 독립이라는 가정 하에 수행되며, 자료가 계열상관되어 있는 경우에는 그 상관성의 영향으로 경향성 존재의 유무를 정확하게 판단할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 MK 검정을 이용할 때 자료의 상관성으로 인해 받게되는 영향을 소거시키기 위해 효과적인 자료의 크기(Effective Sample Size, ESS)를 이용하는 수정된 MK 검정 방법을 이용하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 ESS가 얼마만큼 계열상관성을 제거할 수 있는지 Monte Carlo모의를 통해 검토하였다. MK 검정 결과 계열상관계수의 증가에 따라 자료가 경향성을 나타내는 비율이 높아 겼으나, ESS에 의해 수정된 MK 검정을 수행한 결과 계열상관계수의 영향이 제거되었음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 ESS에 치한 방법은 상관성의 영향을 과대하게 제거하게 되고, 이에 의해 실제 경향성이 존재하는 자료마저도 비 경향성이라고 판단하게 되는 오류를 가지고 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 MK 검정에서 경향성으로 판단된 자료에 대해 경향정도를 분석하여 제거한 후 다시 ESS에 의해 수정된 MK 검정을 실시하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 상관성이 존재하는 자료에 대한 MK 검정 방법의 오류를 제거 할 수 있었으며, 또한 실측 자료의 적용을 통해 수정 MK 검정이 경향성 분석에 매우 유용함을 확인 하였다.

This study aimed to understand temporal and spatial trends of rainfall characteristics in South and North Korea. Daily rainfall observed at the 65 stations in South Korea between 1963 and 2010 and the 27 stations in North Korea between 1973 and 2010 were analyzed. Rainfall Indicators for amount, extremes, frequency of rainfall were defined. Province-based indicators in the recent 10 years (i.e., between 2001 and 2010) were compared to those in the past (i.e., between 1963/1973 and 2000 for South/North Korea). In the recent 10 years, all the indicators except for the number of wet days (NWD) and 200-yr frequency rainfall (Freq200) increased in South Korea and all the indicators except for the annual mean daily rainfall over wet days (SDII) and annual total rainfall amount (TotalDR) decreased in North Korea. Furthermore, we performed the Mann-Kendall trend test based on the annual indicators. In some stations, decreasing trends in the past and increasing trends in the recent 10 years were found, and such opposite trends between two periods suggest he limitation in predicting and analyzing the rainfall characteristics based on the average. Results from this study can be used in analyzing the impact of climate change and preparing adaptation strategies for the water resources management.

This study analyzed the current status and trend of water quality using long-term water quality monitoring data measured over the past 5 years in the Seohwacheon Basin, located upstream of Daecheong Lake. In the Seohwacheon Basin, a project is underway to reduce the occurrence of algal blooms in the Daecheong Lake and to improve water quality, and continuous management is required for water quality management. The current water quality evaluation aims to identify the water quality management point, and the good water grade and the integrated water quality index (WQI) were used. For trend evaluation, the effect of the water quality improvement project was evaluated using the Mann-Kendall test and Sen's Slope. As a result of the evaluation, the current water quality index was used to identify the watersheds and when to manage water quality, and the effect of the improvement project was confirmed through trend analysis. Through this study, it is possible to review the water quality status and improvement effect using long-term water quality monitoring data, so it is expected to be applicable to similar types of watersheds in the future.

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.

The study has examined alterations in groundwater quality by investigating the influence of rainfall on electrical conductivity (EC) and nitrate concentration in the groundwater of the Geum River Basin in South Korea. Mann Kendall and Sen's Slope estimator were employed to analyze the trends and estimate the trend's magnitude. The administrative map of the study area was utilized to assess the trends of these parameters within each administrative region. Seventeen years (from 2005 to 2021) of data on EC, groundwater levels (GWL), precipitation, and six years (from 2015 to 2020) of nitrate concentration data were utilized for this analysis. The results indicate that, in most administrative regions, there has been an increase in nitrate concentration, and EC, whereas precipitation has seen a slight decrease in a downstream and an increasing trend in upstream. The correlation coefficients calculated between these parameters reveal that there is no direct impact of precipitation on nitrate and EC, but a negative correlation was observed between GWL and EC. The most significant increasing trend in nitrate concentration was observed in two districts (Iksan and Gunsan ), which correspond to regions with significant agricultural activity; about 50% of these districts area are used for agricultural activities.

최근 기후변화의 영향으로 국내에서 강우량과 유출량의 변동성이 커짐에 따라 효율적으로 수자원을 관리하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있다. 따라서 수자원 관리 측면에서 강우관측소를 대상으로 군집 분석과 경향성 분석을 통해 사전에 강우 시계열 자료의 추세와 특징을 파악하면 용수 공급과 가뭄 및 홍수피해 저감 등에 효과적으로 대처할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2000년부터 2019년까지낙동강 유역의 64개 강우관측소를 대상으로 동질성 검정과 수정 Mann-Kendall (MK) 검정을 적용하여 강우 시계열 자료의 월별, 계절별, 연도별 경향성 분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 경향성이 나타나는 관측소별 세부지표(연평균 강우량, 표고 등)를 기준으로 K-means 군집 분석을 수행하여 군집별 강우 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 분석을 수행한 결과 경향성 분석에선 3월, 4월, 11월, 12월, 봄 및 가을에는 강우량이 증가 추세를 보였고 1월, 5~9월, 여름과 연도별로는 감소 추세가 나타났다. 또한 군집 분석에서는 Silhouette analysis를 기반으로 최적의 군집 개수를 3개로 설정했을 때 군집별 강우 세부지표의 통계값이 관측소별 표고에 비례하는 특징이 나타났다. 연구를 통해 도출된 군집별 강우 특성과 관측소별 경향성 분석결과를 연계하면 강우량의 변동성을 고려한 효율적인 수자원 관리 방안을 마련하는 데 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
