To improve the oxygen-deficient water mass (ODW), the spatial and temporal variation in the water quality and characteristic of ODW occurrence were analyzed using yearly water quality data from 1989 to 2006 in Jinhae Bay, Korea. In addition, we estimated $ODW_{area},\;ODW_{vol.}$ and $ODW_R$ for Jinhae Bay. The overall water quality improved during the 2000s, based the annual variation in dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, etc. A cluster analysis classified Jinhae Bay into the southwestern, central, northern, and eastern regions. ODW occurred throughout the southwestern region in 1993 and 2002-2004, and the estimated $ODW_{vol.}$ was about $1.92km^3$. ODW did not occur in the eastern region because circulating seawater was exchanged in that part of Jinhae Bay. As ODW was generated every year in the southwestern region, this is the most polluted area in Jinhae Bay. The ODWR decreased in the northern region, showing that the water quality there has improved since a wastewater treatment plant began operating in 1994.

As a basic study for establishing a countermeasure for an oxygen deficient water mass (ODW), we investigated the variation of ODW volume according to the enforced total pollution load management in Jinhae Bay. This study estimated the inflowing pollutant loads into Jinhae Bay and predicted the reduction in ODW by using a sediment-water ecological model (SWEM). The result obtained in this study are summarized as follows: 1) The daily average pollutant loads of COD, SS, TN, TP, DIN, and DIP inflowing into Jinhae bay in 2005 were estimated to be about 12,218 kg-COD/day, 91,884 kg-SS/day, 5,292 kg-TN/day, 182 kg-TP/day, 4,236 kg-DIN/day, and 130 kg-DIP/day. 2) The calculated results of the tidal current by the hydrodynamic model showed good agreement with the observed currents. Also, an ecological model well reproduced the spatial distribution of the water quality in the bay. 3) This study defined the ODWDI (ODW decreasing index) in order to estimate the ODW decreasing volume caused by a reduction in the inflowing pollutant loads. As a result, the ODWDI was predicted to be about 0.91 (COD 30% reduction), 0.87 (COD 50% reduction), 0.79 (COD 70% reduction), 0.85 (ALL 30% reduction), 0.66 (ALL 50% reduction), and 0.45 (ALL 70% reduction). The ODW volume was decreased 1.5 $\sim$ 2.6 times with a reduction in the COD, TN, and TP inflowing pollutant loads compared to a reduction in just the COD inflowing pollutant load. Therefore, it is necessary to enforce total pollution load management, not only for COD, but also fm TN and TP.

This study established a 3D ecosystem model composed of stratification considering the topographic heat accumulation effect and river outflow, and then applied this model to Jinhae, Masan Bay. Specifically, it reenacted the formation and developmental process of ODW according to the stratification by calculating the kinematic eddy viscosity and eddy diffusion coefficient of the stratification model. The results were used as input data for the ecosystem model and compared with DO, COD, I-N, and I-P, which is the standard index of ocean water quality. As a result, it was determined that COD and T-N are third grade and T-P is second grade standards for a natural environment.

본 조사는 양양 남대천 하구에서 발생하는 빈산소 수괴의 발생 시기 및 영역을 파악하고 빈산소 수괴가 형성되는 원인을 추정하기 위해서 수행되었다. 현장조사는 2008년 4월부터 11월까지 6회에 걸쳐 하구 유역 5개 정점에서 수환경과 퇴적물환경을 조사하였다. 양양 남대천 하구입구에는 해안사주가 발달해 있으며, 하구입구로부터 2.3 km 상류부근까지 주변에 비해 수심이 깊고 폭이 좁은 소(pool)가 형성되어 있었다. 양양 남대천 하구에서 빈산소 수괴는 소를 중심으로 5월에 발생되어 10월까지 약 6개월간 지속적으로 출현하였다. 빈산소 수괴의 수직적 범위는 8월에 저층에서 수심 2 m까지 상승하였으며, 빈산소 수괴가 최대로 확장되는 수평적 범위는 하구입구로부터 2.3 km 부근 상류까지였다. 퇴적물의 강열감량은 평균 7.5~9.0%, 산 휘발성 황화물 농도는 평균 $0.282{\sim}1.106\;mg/g{\cdot}dry$ wt로 유기물의 함량이 높았으며, 염분성층과 빈산소 수괴가 형성된 시기에 저층의 암모니아 질소 농도는 표층에 비해 4~23배 높게 유지되었다. 양양 남대천 하구에서는 해수가 하구로 침투하여 수심이 깊은 소에 채워지면서 강한 염분약층이 형성되었고 소를 중심으로 퇴적된 다량의 유기물질에 의해서 저층의 산소가 소모되면서 빈산소 수괴가 형성되는 것으로 판단되었다.
