  • Data analysis of groundwater monitoring wells and geostatistical methods are used to identify the local characteristics of sea water intrusion and the range of sea water intrusion at the southeastern coastal area of Busan, Korea. Rainfall and groundwater level of two monitoring wells show a linear correlation because of the direct groundwater recharge by the precipitation. However, rainfall and electric conductivity have the inverse relationship because of the increase of groundwater. Electric conductivity rapidly increased at 24m depth and exceeded 20,000$\mu\textrm{s}$/cm near 26m depth in the monitoring wells. The variations of groundwater level and electric conductivity show that the interface between sea water and fresh water tends to move upward when groundwater level goes down. In the cross correlation analysis, groundwater level versus rainfall represents the largest cross correlation coefficient in 0 time lag but the cross correlation coefficient of electric conductivity versus rainfall is the largest when the time lag is 9 days. This suggests that the fluctuations of groundwater level respond to rainfall in a short time, but the interface between sea water and fresh water respond very slow to rainfall. Horizontal extents of sea water intrusion are estimated to 14 m from the east of Line 1, and 25 m from the southeast end of Line 2 in the inversion of dipole-dipole profiling data of two survey lines. The data of VES by the Schulumberger array in May and July show lognormal distributions. In the kriged apparent resistivity and earth resistivity distributions, the resistivities of July are increased comparing to those of May. This reflects that the concentration of sea water in aquifer is reduced due to the increased groundwater recharge from the rainfall in June and July. In analyzing the vertical and horizontal apparent resistivities and earth resistivity distributions, the geostatistical methods are very useful to identify the variations of earth resistivity distributions at the coastal area.

  • 본 연구에서는 해안가 암반대수층에서 전기전도도의 수직적인 변화를 관측하여 조석에 의한 해수와 담수 전이대의 특성을 파악하였다. 연구지역은 부경대학교 대연캠퍼스 주변 해안대수층이며, 응회질퇴적암과 안산암 및 안산암질 화산각력암 등이 분포한다. 연구에 이용된 지하수 관측공 (PK1공)은 부경대학교 대연캠퍼스 내 기숙사 동측에 위치하고 있다. 지하수공의 개발심도는 지표 면하 120 m, 케이싱은 지표면하 19 m까지 설치되어 있으며, 내경은 0.2 m로서 해안가에서 180 m 정도 이격되어 있다. 해안대수층 내 해수와 담수 전이대를 파악하기 위하여 관측공 내에 TLC Meter(Model 107, Solinst)를 삽입하여 전기전도도의 수직적인 변화를 지하수공 내 심도 50 m 까지 측정하였다. 전기전도도의 수직적인 관측은 썰물(low tide)일 때, 썰물에서 밀물(high tide)로 될 때 및 밀물일 때로 나누어 총 3회 수행되었다. 전체적인 전기전도도의 분포는 썰물일 때 $630{\sim}47300{\mu}S/cm$, 썰물에서 밀물로 되는 시기에는 $672{\sim}61900{\mu}S/cm$ 및 밀물일 때는 $678{\sim}67900{\mu}S/cm$로 나타났으며, 따라서 밀물일 때가 썰물일 때보다 전기전도도의 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 해수와 담수 전이대의 분포는 썰물일 때 약 $20{\sim}50\;m$, 밀물일 때 약 $20{\sim}38\;m$ 정도로 나타났으며, 이는 밀물 시 해수의 침투로 인해 전이대 하부구간의 농도가 상승하였기 때문이다. 해수와 담수 전이대의 구간을 세분화하여 분석하기 위해, 담수가 우세한 전이대, 주 전이대 및 해수가 우세한 전이대 구간으로 구분하였다. 담수가 우세한 전이대는 썰물과 밀물일 때 모두 지표면하 $20.0{\sim}25.5\;m$ 구간이었으며, 주 전이대에서는 지표면하 $25.5{\sim}25.7\;m$ 정도로 나타났다. 그러나, 해수가 우세한 전이대에서는 썰물일 때 지표면하 $25.7{\sim}50.0\;m$ 구간, 밀물일 때는 지표면하 $25.7{\sim}38.0\;m$ 로서 전이대의 폭이 19 m 정도의 차이를 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 해안가 암반대수층에서 해수와 담수의 전이대는 조석에 의해 영향으로 인해, 썰물 시의 전이대가 밀물에 비해 그 폭이 더욱적음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • The object of this study is to investigate the contamination degree and the interpretation of sea water intrusion phenomena with hydrogeochemical and hydrogen-oxygen stable isotope of coastal aquifer in the Gogum area, Korea. The physical characteristics of groundwaters is the neutral pH condition and transitional Redox environments, and groundwater is affected by sea water & surface water. The chemical properties of groundwaters are showing an increase in contamination owing to the sea water intrusion, waste water from the surface and agricultural chemicals. In the case of chloride, 6 samples of the groundwater in the study area are in excess of the drinking water standard. The Piper diagram shows the contamination in GG-4 and 14 by sea water intrusion. GG-3, 7 and 13 dominate the Na-HCO$_{3}$ type water and regional (GG-14) is indicated to dominate the Na-Cl type water such as sea water. According to the Sl (saturation index), sea water is oversaturated with respect to calcite and dolomite, GG-3, 14 and 18 are approaching the saturation state. The hydrogen-oxygen stable isotope ratio of groundwaters originates in the meteoric water, and groundwaters of GG-1, 5 and 14 display high oxygen isotope value due to surface water trespass and sea water intrusion. The result of this study, GG-14 is contaminated by sea water intrusion, groundwaters expected GG-3, 7 and 13 is in progress to artificial pollution and sea water intrusion.

  • With groundwater data of seawater intrusion monitoring network in coastal areas of Korea's main land, we analyzed types of seawater intrusion through the coastal aquifer. The data including groundwater level, temperature and electrical conductivity obtained from 45 monitoring wells at 25 watershed regions were evaluated. Based on statistical analysis, correlation analysis and variation type analysis, groundwater levels were mainly affected by rainfall and artificial pumping. About 78% of the monitoring wells showed average temperature higher than $15^{\circ}C$ and about 58% of them showed minimum variations less than $0.2^{\circ}C$. Electrical conductivities showed a large magnitude of variation and irregular characteristics compared with groundwater levels and temperatures. Average electrical conductivities lower than $2,000\;{\mu}S/cm$ were observed at 28 monitoring wells while those of higher than $10,000\;{\mu}S/cm$ were done at 9 monitoring wells. From the cross-correlation analysis, groundwater levels were mostly affected by precipitation while temperature and electrical conductivity showed very low correlation. Meanwhile tidal variations strongly affected the groundwater levels comparing to precipitation. We classified the long-term monitoring data according to variation types such as constant process, linear trend, cyclic variation, impulse, step function and ramp. Impulse type was dominant for variations of groundwater level, which was largely affected by rainfall or artificial pumping, the constant process was dominant for temperature. Compared with groundwater level and temperature, electrical conductivities showed various types like linear trend, step function and ramp. According to the discrepancy of variation characteristics for monitoring data at each well in the same region, periodical analysis of monitoring data is essentially required.
