The drainage area of the Miho stream is composed of granitic basins, gneissic and sedimentary mountains. 80 percent of the Miho stream flows through the Jincheon basin and the Cheongju inner-plain within the Daebo granite belt. Because the deep weathering of granitic hills provides a large amount of sands to the streams, there are wide floodplains with thick alluvium developed in the basin and plain. The thickness of the alluvium is 5~10m and the width of the floodplains is 2~2.5km. In the basin outlet area where a stream passes through the mountain canyon, wide floodplains and deep alluvium are developed in other riverside. The Miho stream is a sand-gravel channel flowing through the Cheongju inner-plain with wide floodplains and deep alluvium formed by deep weathering of granite.

본 연구에서는 2006$\sim$2007년 동안 도심하천인 미호천과 갑천의 이화학적 수질 및 서식지 특성을 분석하였고, 또한 어종 분포 및 길드분석을 통해 군집구조 및 생태건강도 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 전형적인 두 도심하천의 BOD, COD농도는 각각 평균 3.5 mg L$^{-1}$, 5.7 mg L$^{-1}$였고, 총질소(TN)및 총인(TP)의 농도는 각각 5.1 mg L$^{-1}$, 274 ${\mu}g$ L$^{-1}$로서 이미 부영양 상태로 판정되었으며, 특히 갑천하류 지점에서는 유기물 오염 및 부영양화 현상이 뚜렷했다. 두 도심하천에서 총 종수는 34종으로서 동일하게 나타났고, 내성종 및 잡식종인 피라미(Zacco platypus)는 가장 높은 상대 풍부도(32$\sim$42%)를 보였다. 두하천에서 민감종의 비율(23%)은 낮은 반면 내성종과 잡식종의 비율(45%, 52%)은 높게 나타나 도심하천에서의 전형적인 길드 변화 현상이 확연히 나타났다. 하천생태건강도 평가(SEHA)에 따르면, 두 하천에서 다변수 모델값은 각각 19,24로서 양호하지 못한 것으로 나타났고, 서식지 평가 분석 (QHEI)에서는 미호천 123, 갑천 135로서 보통$\sim$양호 상태를 보였으며, 수질에서 보여준 바와 같이 최하류(특히, 갑천)에서는 극명하게 악화된 것으로 나타났다. 특히 갑천 하류의 낮은 건강도 평가모델값(20)은 하수종말처리장으로부터 나온 배출수의 화학적 영향이 큰 것으로 사료되었다. 이런 다변수 모델 값은 전기전도도(r=-0.530, p=0.016), BOD (r=-0.578, p< 0.01), COD (r=-0.603, p< 0.01), 영양염류(TN, TP: r>0.40, p<0.05)와 같은 수질변수들과 높은 역상관 관계를 보였다. 이는 생태건강도 모델값이 수질 특성을 잘 반영하는 객관성 있는 평가기법으로 활용 될 수 있음을 제시하였다. 따라서 이런 도심하천의 하류부에서는 생태계 보존을 위해 향후 하천복원 및 지속적인 생태모니터링 이 필요할 것으로 사료되었다.

본 연구의 목적은 금강의 중류에 위치한 갑천과 미호천의 직접적 영향을 받는 대청댐과 세종보 구간에 대해 3차원 수리-수질 해석 모델인 EFDC를 구축하고 모델을 보정한 후, 대청댐의 유량조절과 갑천 및 미호천의 부하량 삭감 시나리오에 따른 세종보 구간의 영양상태와 수질개선 효과를 평가하는데 있다. EFDC 모델은 2012년 9월부터 2013년 4월까지 측정된 수위, 수온 및 수질 변수를 사용하여 보정하였으며, 모델은 실측 수위의 변화와 수온 및 수질의 공간적, 시간적 변화를 재현했다. 연구결과, 연구대상 하천구간에서 영양염류와 조류 생체량의 공간 분포는 횡단 방향의 변화가 크다는 것을 확인 하였다. 또한 조류 성장 제한 요인 분석 결과, 갑천과 미호천에서 세종보에 이르는 인 부하가 부영양화와 녹조발생을 일으키는 요인으로 나타났다. 시나리오 모의결과, 갑천과 미호천의 오염 부하량 감축은 청원-1지점의 경우 Chl-a 4.7~18.2%, TP 5.4~21.9%, 연기지점은 Chl-a 4.2~17.3%, T-P 4.7~19.4% 저감하여 대상 하천의 수질 개선과 부영양 지수 개선에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 한편, 대청댐 및 세종보의 유량을 조절하는 시나리오는 청원-1지점의 경우 Chl-a 1.5~2.4%, T-P 2.5~3.8%, 연기지점은 Chl-a 1.2~2.1%, T-P 0.9~1.5% 저감되어 수질 개선에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 세종보의 녹조저감과 수질개선 목표를 달성하기 위해서는 갑천과 미호천의 수질 개선이 필수적이며 가장 중요한 선결 조건이라 판단된다.

To study the influence of changes in river discharge on water quality of the main stem of the Geum River, we investigated variation of inflow load from tributaries with river discharge. We also studied the mixing behavior of pollutants during mixing of waters of the main stem and Gap Stream. For this study, we collected water quality data such as suspended solids (SS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) representing pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon events of 2013 from a website of Water Information System. Based on inflow load, the Gap and Miho streams may be ones of tributaries which may largely influence water quality of main stem in upper river region. The Suksung and Nonsan Streams seemed to further affect water quality downstream. Results of modified EMMA indicated SS and TP may have another source(besides Gap Stream) at pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon period. In contrast, TN and organic matter (BOD, COD, TOC) were conservative at pre-monsoon and post-monsoon. However, when river discharge increased, these pollutants may also came from unspecified non-point sources. Therefore, we need to attempt to find non-point sources for the pollutants in the main channel of upper Geum River region.

The stream morphological characteristics of watershed have important influence upon the analysis of runoff. In this study, the effect of the map scale on the stream morphological characteristics was used on the data taken from 15'(1:50, 000) and 7'30"(1 :25,000) topographic maps which could cover the whole Miho River basin This basin are the first tributary of the Geum. River. Otherwise, the longitudinal stream bed profile was calculated by Yang's theoretical stream bed profile, equilibrium profile and actual profile. In the result of this investigation the conclusion is that the resultant relationship obtained from different topographic maps in the scale on the same stream system has come upon the same result as the stream morphological characteristics. Therefore, the great amount of time and effort can be saved in studing the stream morphological charecteristics by using the 15' instead of the 7'30"map system excluding the first order streams.

BACKGROUND: For effective subwatershed management, it is very important to select the tributaries for improving water quality and understand the characteristics of tributaries. Until now, however, the case study of main streams has been managed. 17 tributaries in Geum river subwatershed were monitored to regulate the source of water contaminations and identify their current situations in this study. METHODS AND RESULTS: As pollution indicators, such as biological oxygen demand($BOD_5$), chemical oxygen demand($COD_{Mn}$), suspended solid(SS), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphate(T-P) and total organic carbon(TOC) in Geum river were examined from January to December in 2011. The results were as follows : The annual average concentration of nutrients in Yongdam reservoir upsteam was 0.7 mg/L for BOD, 3.0 mg/L for COD, 8.4 mg/L for SS, 2.905 mg/L for T-N, 0.035 mg/L for T-P and 1.6 mg/L for TOC. Water quality of Daechung reservoir upstream was mostly similar tendency in comparison to Yongdam reservoir upstream. Among the 22 tributaries, water quality in Daechung reservoir downstream was more polluted. T-N contents were significantly high in Miho B4 located Daechung reservoir downstream(annual average concentration: 13.53 mg/L). In cases of Miho A1, A2 and C1, pollution degree was worsened during rainy season expecially. CONCLUSION(S): For improving water quality of Geum river subwatershed, the tributaries in the Mihocheon area should be preferentially considered. Mihocheon tributary is the highest in pollution site, and thus a study on long-term effects should be research.

The objective of study was to analyze seasonal and inter-annual patterns of water chemistry of Miho Stream watershed during 2004 - 2007 along with some influences of tributaries and summer monsoon on the stream water quality. For the study, eight physico-chemical parameters such as nitrogen, phosphorus, BOD, COD and chlorophyll-a (CHL) etc. were analyzed in relation to spatial and temporal variability of seven sampling sites of the mainstream and some tributaries in the watershed. In the upstream reach, Mean of BOD, COD and TP averaged 3.2 mg/L, 6.5 mg/L and $186{\mu}g/L$, respectively, indicating an eutrophic conditions as a III-rank in the stream water quality criteria from the Ministry of Environment, Korea(MEK). The eutrophic water was due to a combined effect of Chiljang tributary with high nutrients ($TP=844{\mu}g/L$, TN=8.087 mg/L) and the point sources from some wastewater treatment plants. In the meantime, BOD, TN, and TP in the downstream reach were about > 1.2-1.5 folds than the values of the midstream reaches. This was mainly attributed to effluents of nutrient rich-water (mean TN: 11.980 mg/L) from two tributaries of Musim Stream and Suknam Stream, which is directly influenced by nearby wastewater disposal plants. Seasonal analysis of water chemistry showed that summer monsoon rainfall was one of the important factors influencing the water quality, and water quality had a large spatial heterogeneity during the rainfall period. In the premonsoon, BOD in the downstream averaged $6.0{\pm}2.47mg/L$, which was 1.4-fold greater than the mean of upstream reach. Mean of CHL-a as an indicator of primary productivity in the water body, was > 2.2 - 2.9 fold in the downstream than in the upstream, and this was a result of the high phosphorus loading from the watershed. Overall, our data suggest that some nutrient controls in point-source tributary streams are required for efficient water quality management of Miho Stream.

In this study, toxicity monitoring of sediments collected from 25 stations in the Geum river basin was conducted using Daphnia magna and Moina macrocopa. According to the results of acute toxicity tests (immobilization and mortality) of organic extracts of semdiments, Miho stream showed much less toxicity than Gap and Nonsan streams. In particular, significant toxicity was observed in both species for St.15 and St.16 sediment samples that passed through Deajeon city as a branch of Gap stream. For Nonsan stream, St.23 sediment showed high toxicity toward M. macrocopa. This site seemed to be affected by upper agricultural industrial complex. Additionally, M. macrocopa showed a higher sensitivity than D. magna for organic extracts of sediments. In the case of toxicity tests using sediment pore water and aqueous extracts, only pore water of St.27 sediment was toxic against D. magna. Toxicity identification evaluation showed that hydrogen sulfide was likely a major toxicant in the pore water.

This study was conducted to evaluate fish fauna, species composition, and various guilds against stream orders along with analysis of fish community structure and diversity in Geum River watershed from 2005 to 2007. The total number of fish collected was 4,216 representing 12 families with 56 species. Zacco platypus was the most abundant fish species with 26% in relative abundance (RA). Korean endemic species were 24 species including Zacco koreanus, Microphysogobio yaluensis, Gobiobotia nakdongensis, and Iksookimia koreensis, etc. We also collected endangered fish species such as G. nakdongensis, Liobagrus obesus, and Pseudopungtungia nigra, etc., and their new distribution sites were found in the survey, providing some sites of the fish conservation and protection. Fish tolerance and trophic guilds analysis showed that the proportion of sensitive species, intermediate species, and tolerant species were 33.4%, 29.3%, and 37.3%, respectively and omnivores and insectivores were 48.1 % and 38.4%, respectively. Analysis of site-base study indicated that tolerant species and omnivore species were high in some polluted tributary streams (i.e., Gap and Miho stream) and sensitive and insectivore species were low. In the functional relations, expressed as simple linear regression equations, of stream order on fish metric attributes, showed that the number of species and the number of individuals increased as the stream order increases. This phenomenon was explained by greater availability of stable water volume, rich food, and higher physical habitat capacity. Such guild compositions and stream order characteristics of the river influenced the community structures, based on species diversity, dominance and evenness index in the study. This study may be used as important data in the future for comparisons of fish fauna and compositions before and after two weir (dam) constructions in the middle of Geum River by the government.
