Abstract

The aim of this study is to accumulate the data about the roof-harvested rainwater quality characteristics for the better rainwater management. According to the results of rainwater quality indicators (pH, COD, TSS, T-N, T-P, $NH_4$-N, $NO_3$-N, enteric bacteria, heterotrophs, Pb, Cd, Cu), the rainwater qualities of the first flush of roof-harvested was the most polluted about 2 or 3 times (more than 100 times in microbial contamination) compared to the qualities of directly collected rainwater. In the first 10 min flush, over the 60% amounts of contaminant were released from the roof during 30 minute rainwater monitoring. Through statistical factor analysis, relatively close items(variables) can be categorized. It is expected that the continuous monitoring of the roof-harvested rainwater will help to design the safe and economical rainwater storage system in Korea.

본 연구의 목적은 더 나은 빗물관리를 위해 건물지붕에서 흘러내리는 빗물의 성상을 분석하고, 그 자료를 축적하는데 있다. 이에 빗물 유출수 성상을 분석한 결과(pH, COD, TSS, T-N, T-P, $NH_4$-N, $NO_3$-N, 장내세균, 일반미생물, 납, 카드뮴, 구리)지붕 유출수에서 흘러나오는 빗물의 성상이 직접 받은 빗물에 비해 약 2 ~ 3배 가량 더 오염되었고 (미생물 지수의 경우는 100배 이상) 초기 10분 동안 내린 오염물질량이 30분 모니터링한 빗물 오염물질량의 60% 이상 차지하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 통계 요인분석을 통해 빗물 유출수 분석 항목들을 상대적으로 가까운 지표(변수)들로 구분 지을 수 있었다. 본 연구진은 이러한 지속적인 건물지붕빗물의 모니터링이 국내의 안전하고 경제적인 빗물 저장시설을 설치하는데 도움을 줄 거라 예상한다.
