Abstract

This study was performed to evaluate the temporal and spatial variations of the water quality at stream flowing into the Suncheon bay in Suncheon city from October 2008 to August 2009 and to estimate the pollutant sources from the streams using multivariate analysis. Water qualities from Seo stream, Dong stream, Ok stream were evaluated as I grade(very good) that compared to the Water Quality Standard. But Haeryong stream and inlet site of Suncheon Bay in BOD were evaluated as a little bad and fair. Water quality at the stream flowing into the Suncheon Bay was could be explained up to 92.8% by three factors which were included in loading of nutrients, organic matter and total coliform group by the allochthonous matters(53.7%), Topographic Factors(25.0%), seasonal variation(14.2%). The concentrations of total nitrogen and phosphorus at sewage treatment plant and organic matters at Haeryong stream were higher than that of others, respectively. From principal component analysis and factor analysis, it could be suggested that it is very important to make an effort to reduce the nutrients and organic matters from sewage treatment plant and Haeryong stream to be in good conservation of the Suncheon bay.

2008년 10월부터 2009년 9월까지 유입수계 하천의 수질특성을 파악하고 통계적 처리를 통하여 수질자료를 해석하였다. 순천만 유입수계 중에서 순천서천, 순천동천, 옥천은 환경부고시 하천수질 평가항목 모두에서 I등급으로 비교적 양호한 수질상태를 보였으나, 하천에서 유기물 오염의 지표인 BOD 항목에 대해서 해룡천과 순천만 유입지점에서는 각각 "약간 나쁨"과 "보통"의 결과를 나타내었다. 한편 총질소과 총인의 경우는 하수종말처리장 방류지점과 해룡천에서 다른 하천에 비해서 상대적으로 높은 결과를 나타내었다. 요인분석 결과 수질특성을 설명하는 1요인으로는 인간기원의 오염물질로서 기여율은 53.7%, 2요인으로는 지형적인 인자로서 기여율은 25.0%로 나타났다. 그리고 3요인은 자연환경의해서 기인된 요인들로서 기여율은 14.2%이며, 누적기여율은 92.8%로 평가되었다. 요인분석 결과 해룡천과 하수종말처리장 방류수로부터 상대적으로 많은 오염물질이 배출되어 순천만으로 유입되고 있어, 순천만의 수질 보존을 위해서는 순천하수종말처리장과 해룡천의 수질오염물질 배출의 보다 철저한 관리와 정화노력이 필요하다고 판단된다.
