Abstract

The Ministry of the Environment conducts a water environment management plan and TMDL(Total Maximum Daily Load) for integrated watershed management, and determines whether the target water quality is achieved using water quality monitoring data. The concentration of monitoring points located in the downstream of the watershed is the outcome of complicated mechanisms such as influx of pollutants from the tributaries of the watershed and self-purification of river water. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of main stream and tributary water quality on the target water quality point using the water pollution source tracking and exceedance rate of watershed. In this study, FDC and exceedance rate analysis were performed on six water quality items including BOD and T-P, which are the targets of TMDL. Water quality items and points affecting the target water quality point were derived from flow rate. In this study, the pollution source tracking through FDC analysis and exceedance rate analysis will be able to establish more efficiently the water quality management strategy for each branch to achieve the target water quality.

환경부에서는 유역단위의 통합 물관리를 위하여 물환경관리계획, 수질오염총량제 등을 실시하고 있으며, 측정망에서 측정된 수질을 이용하여 설정된 목표수질의 달성 정도를 판단하고 있다. 유역 하류부에 위치한 측정망의 지점에서의 수질 농도는 유역의 각 지류에서 오염원 유입과 하천의 자정작용 등의 복잡한 메커니즘을 거쳐서 만들어진 결과물이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 유역의 오염원 추적 및 초과율을 이용해 본류 및 지류의 수질이 목표수질 지점에 미치는 영향의 정도에 대하여 분석하였다. 이를 위해 오염총량제의 대상물질인 BOD와 T-P를 포함한 총 6가지의 수질항목에 대하여 FDC와 초과율 분석을 수행하였고, 이를 통해 목표수질 지점에 유황별 영향을 미치는 수질항목 및 지점을 도출할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 FDC 분석을 통한 오염원 추적은 목표수질 달성을 위해 지류별 수질관리 전략을 보다 효율적으로 수립할 수 있을 것이다.
