To certificate change in the geochemical characteristics of surface sediments in the main stream of the Nakdong River, surface sediments from 12 sampling sites during the first and second half year (total 24 sampling sites) were collected and analyzed for grain size, ignition loss, total organic carbon and heavy metal content. Surface sediments mainly composed of sand (coarse and medium sand) and fining changed from the first half to the second half of the year. Ignition loss, total organic carbon and heavy metals content increased in the second half of the year. Some heavy metals (Zn, Ni and Cu) were found to be at the lowest effect levels according to Ontario sediment quality guidelines. Additionally, most heavy metals were found to be at the non polluted level and level I according to USEPA sediment quality standards and National Institute of Environmental Research sediment pollution evaluation standard, respectively. The enrichment factor (< 1) and index of geoaccmulation (< 0) were non polluted in the study area. The correlation analysis results showed that ignition loss, total organic carbon and heavy metal content were highly correlated with grain size. Regarding changes in geochemical characteristics of surface sediments in the study area, grain size fine and organic matter and heavy metal content increased in the second half year. Nonetheless these results indicated pollution levels that did not adversely affect the benthos.

Water quality in Nakdong river was analyzed using 699 monitoring data sets including flow rates and water quality concentrations collected at 195 tributary monitoring stations (the priority management areas: 35 stations, the non-priority management areas: 160 stations) in 2015. The highest average concentrations of all data for BOD, COD, T-N, T-P, SS, and TOC were 30 600 times higher than the lowest concentrations while the highest average loading rates were 800,000 2,700,000 times higher than the lowest loading rates. Because of the very large differences in the concentrations and loading rates, the variation of the concentrations and loading rates in a priority management monitoring station for BOD, T-P, and TOC was analyzed using the coefficient of variation, the ratio of the standard deviation value to the mean value. For BOD, T-P, and TOC, the coefficients of variation for concentration were mostly less than 100%, whereas the coefficients of variation for loading rate ranged from 31.1% to 232.2%. The very big difference in the loading rates was due to the large variation in flow rates. As a result of this, the estimation of water quality at each monitoring station using the average values of the concentrations and loading rates might be not rational in terms of their representativeness. In this study, new water quality analysis methods using all collected monitoring data were suggested and applied according to the water quality standard in medium-sized management areas.

The heat budget is investigated in the Gumi Reservoir of the Nakdong river. In warm climate season, solar radiation effects play a important role in the change of water temperature. The features of the surface heat balance are almost derived by the latent heat flux and the solar radiation flux. On the other hand, in cold climate season, change of heat stored in the water is mainly dominated by latent and sensible heat transfer between water and air, since flux of solar radiation and loss of outgoing long wave radiation balance approximately. For the annual averages, net flux of radiation, evaporation(latent heat) loss are dominant in the Gumi reservoir. The evaporation losses are dominant from spring to early winter. This means that the Gumi reservoir rolls like a lake of thermal medium or deep depth.

Bird species (BS) of the Nakdong River estuary (NRE) were selected to suggest conservation and management strategies, taking habitats and major threats into consideration. Five BS (Cygnus spp., Calidris alpina, Sterna albifrons, Fulica atra, and Anser fabalis) were selected following analysis of their dominance, national importance, seasonality, taxonomic group, and distribution within the NRE. The BS comprise two winter birds, one summer, one passage bird, and one resident bird. They can also be classified into four taxonomic groups: two under ducks and geese (Anatidae), and one each under gulls (Laridae), shorebirds (Scolopacidae), and diving birds (Rallidae). The results show that BS could be a useful tool in guiding estuary management because their habitats are clearly distinct, and include important areas of the NRE. A reduction of feeding and resting places—such as tidal flats, Scirpus planiculmis habitat, and agricultural farmland—and climate change are major threats to BS, therefore countermeasures to such threats should be considered in future estuary management plans.

We analyzed the micro-meteorological characteristics during typical steam fog over the Gumi Reservoir of Nakdong river with the field observation data for recent 2 year(1 April 2013~31 March 2015) collected by the national institute of meteorological research, KMA. Steam fog occur when the cold drainage flows over the warm water surface. As the sensible and latent heat from water are provided to the air, the instability of lower atmosphere is increased. The resultant vertical mixing of warm, moist air near water surface and cold air aloft causes the formation of status cloud. The convection strengthened by radiative cooling of the upper part of the stratus causes the fog to propagate downward. Also, the temperature at the lowest atmosphere is increased rapidly and the inversion near surface disappear by these processes when the fog forms. The increase of wind speed is observed because the downward transportation of momentum is caused by vertical mixing.

Ministry of Environment has been operating water quality monitoring network in order to obtain the basic data for the water environment policies and comprehensively understand the water quality status of public water bodies such as rivers and lakes. The observed water quality data is very important to analyze by applying statistical methods because there are seasonal fluctuations. Typically, monthly water quality data has to analyze that the transition comprise a periodicity since the change has the periodicity according to the change of seasons. In this study, trends, SOM and RDA analysis were performed at the Mulgeum station using water quality data for temperature, BOD, COD, pH, SS, T-N, T-P, Chl-a and Colon-bacterium observed from 1989 to 2013 in the Nakdong River. As a result of trends, SOM and RDA, the Mulgeum station was found that the water quality is improved, but caution is required in order to ensure safe water supply because concentrations in water quality were higher in the early spring(1~3 month) the most.

We analyzed the characteristics of fog formation in the Gumi Reservoir of Nakdong river with the field observation data for recent 2 years (1 April 2013~31 March 2015) collected by the national institute of meteorological research, KMA. In early morning, we frequently observe the steam rising from the water surface. The fog occurs from adding water vapor into the air. We call the fog as steam fog. Steam fogs occur when cold, dry air mixes with warm, moist air above a water surface. The steam fog appears mainly in autumn under the following conditions; (1) sensible heat is positive values (10~20 W/m2), (2) latent heat is more positive values (25~35 W/m2) than sensible heat, (3) cloudless nights with light winds (about 1.5 m/s), (4) under condition(3), mountainous winds easily blows into the reservoir.

In this study we were to explore the seasonal variation of water temperature distributions before and after weir construction at Gumi, Chilgok, Gangjung(Goryung), Dalsung in the Nakdong River using Landsat satellite images. Relationship between in-situ water temperature and radiance values of Landsat-5, 7, 8 satellite images showed high correlation. Seasonal variation of water temperature in Nakdong River showed that the fluctuation ranges of water temperature before weir construction were larger than those after weir construction. This indicated that the variation of water temperature is due to the difference of heat storage volume by weir construction and dredging work. In particular, the water temperature after weirs construction in autumn was 4-8 times lower than that before weirs construction. Water temperature after weir construction decreased in spring and summer at the downstream of Gumi weir and Gangjung(Goryung) weir, and the upstream of Dalsung weir. In autumn and winter, the water temperature after weir construction increased in the upstream and downstream of the whole weirs except upstream of Gumi weir. Relationship between water temperature and meteorological elements (air temperature, wind speed, sunshine, radiation) showed high correlation of above 94% in air temperature, and then radiation was high correlation before and after 65%.

효과적인 하천관리를 위해서는 준설과 각종 수리구조물의 영향에 의한 하상변화 양상을 파악하고 평가하는 것이 필수적이다. 특히 대규모 준설과 대형수리구조물의 건설은 본류뿐만 아니라 지류의 하상안정에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 금호강이 유입하는 낙동강 강정고령보∼달성보 구간에 대해 하도준설과 보 건설 및 운영에 따른 본류와 지류에서의 장기하상변동 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. HEC-6모형을 이용하여 유사이송 및 장기하상변동 양상을 모의하였으며, 그 결과 준설 및 보 운영으로 인해 본류뿐만 아니라 지류에서도 하상변화량이 증가하고 가속화되었다.

지속적인 개발과 도시화로 인하여 하천으로 유입되는 비점오염원의 비율 역시 점차 증가하는 추세이며 비점오염원이 수질악화에 미치는 영향은 점점 더 커지고 있다. 하천의 수질오염을 발생시키는 비점오염원 해결방안을 모색하고 있지만 도시화에 따른 수문현상변동 및 자연현상과 관련된 문제라 연구에 어려움이 많다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 총량원단위법과 달리 유역의 강우 및 도시화 특성과 처리장 운영자료를 활용하여 차별화된 비점오염원 산정 방법을 제시하였다. 하수처리장의 배수구역 내 관거시스템을 합류식으로 가정하여 강우 시 하수처리장의 배수구역별 비점 발생형태는 하수처리장 강우유입량, 하수처리장 우회유량(bypass) 및 하천 토구의 CSO의 3가지로 크게 구분하여 적용함으로써 오염부하량을 산정함으로써 오염총량 단위유역 및 하수처리구역의 관리를 위한 비교자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

In order to certificate the distribution and pollution of heavy metal of surface sediments in Nakdong River were collected and analyzed for grain size, water content, ignition loss and heavy metal content. Surface sediments mainly composed of sand(avg. 94.6%) and water content and ignition loss were 20.46%, 1.53% on average. Grain size were relatively fine and organic matter content were relatively high in the Hoichun and Sunakdonggang. Most of heavy metal content(Zn > Cr > Pb > Ni > Cu > Hg) in the Deokcheongang and Sunakdonggang were higher than the other streams. The Igeo were non polluted(less than 0) in all streams and the EF were relatively high in the small stream and PLI were non polluted(less than 1). In addition, organic matter, heavy metal content and pollution were highly correlation with grain size. Surface sediments in study area, heavy metal pollution of the Sunakdonggang were relatively high compared to the other stream but these results were not serious pollution that exceed the sediment pollution evaluation standard of river and lake in Korea and pollution levels adversely affected the majority of benthos were not.

Visibility and Automatic Weather System(AWS) data near Nakdong river were analyzed to characterize fog formation during 2012-2013. The temperature was lower than its nearby city – Daegu, whereas the humidity was higher than the city. 157 fog events were observed in total during the 2 year period. About 65% of the events occurred in fall (September, October, and November) followed by winter, summer, and spring. 94 early morning fog events of longer than 30 minutes occurred when south westerly wind speed was lower than 2 m/s. During these events, the water temperature was highest followed by soil surface and air temperatures due to the advection of cold and humid air from nearby hill. The observed fog events were categorized using a fog-type classification algorithm, which used surface cooling, wind speed threshold, rate of change of air temperature and dew point temperature. As a result, frontal fog observed 6 times, radiation 4, advection 13, and evaporation 66. The evaporation fog in the study area lasted longer than other reports. It is due to the interactions of cold air drainage flow and warm surface in addition to the evaporation from the water surface. In particular, more than 60% of the evaporation fog events were accompanied with cold air flows over the wet and warm surface. Therefore, it is needed for the identification of the inland fog mechanism to evaluate the impacts of nearby topography and land cover as well as water body.

대하천사업 이후 낙동강 유역의 수문환경이 변화함에 따라 낙동강 전 유역에 대한 도달시간 재산정도 필요한 상황이며 보와 보 사이 구간에 대한 홍수도달시간 산정도 필요한 현실이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대하천사업 이후의 지형을 반영하여 창녕함안보에서 하구둑까지 홍수도달시간을 수리학적 모형을 이용하여 산정하였으며, 유량조건과 수위조건의 경우로 나누어 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 방류유량, 방류형식, 하류단 경계조건, 지류의 유무에 따라 총 84개의 시나리오를 구성하여 유량과 수위에 대해 초기홍수도달시간과 첨두홍수도달시간을 각각 산정하였다. 본 연구에서 분석된 다양한 시나리오들은 홍수예경보시스템, 조류배제운영 등 현장에서 활용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 홍수위험도 작성을 위한 낙동강 유역에서의 도달시간을 산정하였다. 현재 국내에서 제작되고 있는 홍수위험지도는 홍수범람범위 및 홍수심을 표출하는 것을 목적으로 하는 Flood Hazard Map이다. 최근 발생하고 있는 홍수피해는 태풍이나 국지성 호우에 의한 피해가 대부분으로 이를 대비하기 위해서는 실시간 홍수예보가 중요하며, 나아가서는 실시간 홍수위험도 예측이 필요한 실정이다. 특히 실시간 홍수예경보가 이루어지고 있는 대하천의 경우 4대강 살리기 사업으로 인해 보 설치 및 하천 준설 등으로 인해 하천환경이 변화되어 하천의 흐름특성이 변화되었다. 따라서 변화된 하천 단면의 적용 및 보 등의 내부구조물을 고려한 수리학적 분석을 통한 실시간 홍수예경보 및 홍수위험도 작성이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 현재 제작되고 있는 Flood Hazard Map들이 홍수범람범위와 침수심의 제한된 정보만을 포함하고 있는 한계를 벗어나 다양한 범람 시나리오에 대한 불확실성을 고려한 홍수위험도를 작성하기 위한 요소 중 홍수파 도달시간을 산정하였다. 도달시간 산정을 위해 본 연구에서는 FLDWAV 모형을 사용하였으며 태풍 산바 사상을 통한 검증 후 가상 홍수 시나리오에 대한 낙동강 유역에서의 도달시간을 산정하였다. 또한, 4대강 살리기 사업으로 설치된 보의 영향을 분석하기 위해 보 설치 전·후를 비교하였다. 홍수에 대한 여러 가지 불확실성이 있겠지만 홍수 발생시 중요하게 고려되는 홍수심, 유속 등을 추가로 고려하여 이를 바탕으로 나아가 불확실성을 고려한 홍수위험도를 작성하고자 한다.

도시화 및 기후변화에 의한 물순환 특성의 변동 분석을 도시지역별로 평가하고 특성이 유사한 지역별로 대상 집단을 분류하여 낙동강 유역 내 도시 지역을 도시화 및 기후의 변화로 발생되는 유사 특성을 나타내는 지역별로 그룹화하였다. 본 연구는 도시화에 따른 불투수면적의 증가에 따른 물순환 변동의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 낙동강 유역을 대상으로 1975년, 1990년, 2009년의 토지이용도 자료를 수집하였다. 또한 기후변화의 영향을 고려하기 위하여 기상청에서 제공하는 AR5 시나리오 기반의 RCP 8.5 시나리오를 선정하였다. 낙동강 유역 내 지역별 물순환 변동 지수를 산정하기 위하여 SWAT 모형을 구축하여 토지이용시나리오 및 기후변화 시나리오를 적용함으로써 소유역별 발생되는 물순환 결과를 도출하였다. 낙동강 유역은 표준단위유역을 기준으로 145개 소유역으로 분할하였으며, 산정된 물순환 결과 및 토지피복별 변화 정도의 결과를 이용하여 군집분석의 입력자료로 활용하였다. 물순환 및 토지피복별 변화 정도를 면적대비 변화율로 정의하여 지수를 도출하고 지수 간의 Spearman's rank-order 상관분석을 통하여 상관분석을 실시하였다. 지수 간 상관 정도가 높은 지역별 지수를 군집분석 기법 중 k-means clustering analysis 기법에 적용하여 145개 소유역에 대하여 3 가지 cluster로 분류하였다. cluster1의 경우는 도시화의 증가율이 비교적 적은 지역으로 산림 및 농지가 대부분을 차지하였고, cluster2는 도시화 진행 정도가 5 % 미만인 지역이며, cluster3은 도시화가 5 % 이상으로 면적 대비 증가율이 비교적 크고 산림 및 농지의 면적의 비율이 작은 지역으로 분류되었다. 유역 내 도시 단위별 도시화 및 기후변화에 따른 물순환 특성의 변동이 유사한 지역으로 군집화 함으로써 수자원 개발 또는 도시 개발 계획 시 유사한 지역의 사례를 통한 기초 조사·분석에 활용이 가능하다.

General features of sediment budget for the Nakdong River before the Four Rivers Restoration Project were analyzed using surveying, dredging, and mining data for the past 20 years, as well as sediment data measured from the tributaries, and numerical modeling, etc. As a result of the sediment budget analysis of the Nakdong River before the Four Rivers Restoration Project, sediment inflow supplied from the watershed is 2,100,000 m3/yr and sediment outflow including mining and dredging volumes is 10,180,000 m3/yr. Therefore, the bed change volume estimated by the sediment budget analysis is -8,080,000 m3/yr of the bed erosion volume which is similar to the analysis result (-8,300,000 m3/yr) of natural and artificial bed changes using the surveyed data.

This study was investigated twenty two hazardous chemicals compounds for effluents of nine sewage treatment plants (STPs) and one waste water treatment plant (WWTP) in the Nakdong Ri-ver Basin. They are eleven phthalates(DMP, DEP, DIBP, DBP, BEEP, DNPP, DHP, DCP, DEHP, DNOP, Dinonyl phthalate, seven aliphatic hydrocarbons(n-Tridecane, n-Tetradecane, n-Pentadecan-e, n-Hexadecane, n-Heptadecane, n-Octadecane, n-Nonadecane, Isoquinoline, 2-Chloropyridine, 2-N-itrophenol, and Benzophenone. The twenty two compounds were analyzed by gas chromatograp-hy mass spectrometry (GC/MS) with liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). Twenteen of twenty two subs-tances were detected. They were DMP, DEP, DIBP, DBP, DEHP, n-Tetradecane, n-Pentadecane, n-Heptadecane, n-Octadecane, n-Nonadecane, Isoquinoline and Benzophenone. Among these, DEHP, DEP and Benzophenone were most frequently observed. They were obtained as ND~36.881 ㎍/L, ND~0.950 ㎍/L, ND~2.019 ㎍/L, respectively. When the substances were calculated the average concentration at 10 points, the maximum average detection concentration was investigated at the Dalseocheon STP.

Sediment discharge by long-term runoff in the Nakdong River watershed should be predicted for the maintenance and management of the Nakdong River newly changed by the four major river restoration project. The data establishment by the analysis of runoff and sediment discharge using the long-term watershed model is necessary to predict possible problems by incoming sediments and to prepare countermeasures for the maintenance and management. Therefore, sediment discharges by long-term runoff in the main points of the Nakdong River were calculated using SWAT(soil and water assessment tool) model and the relations and features between rainfall, runoff, and sediment discharge were analyzed in this study. As a result of sediment discharge calculation in the main points of the Nakdong River and tributaries, the sediment discharge at the outlet of the Naesung Stream was greater than the Jindong Station in the Lower Nakdong River from 1999 to 2008 except the years with low precipitation. The sediment discharge at the Nakdong River Estuary Barrage (NREB) was corresponding to 20% of the Jindong Station which is located about 80 km upstream from NREB.

본 연구는 국내를 대표하는 모래하천 낙동강에서 하안식생의 분포와 환경요인의 상관관계를 규명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 경상북도 안동시의 낙동강 일대에서 자연제방 5곳을 실험구간으로 선정하고 84개의 방형구를 설치하여 식물상, 식생피도, 평수위기준상대고도, 토양의 수분함량, 유기물함량, pH, 전기전도도 및 토성분석을 실시하였다. 식생단면조사의 피도값과 환경자료를 바탕으로 정준대응분석(Canonical correspondence analysis)을 실시한 결과 각 식물종은 평수위기준상대고도, 유기물함량, 모래함량 등에 의하여 3개의 그룹으로 구분되었으며 하천의 식생분포에 가장 큰 영향력을 끼치는 환경인자는 평수위기준상대고도로 나타났다.

최근 기후변화가 미래 수문자료에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 예측하기 위한 다양한 기법이 개발 및 적용되고 있으며, 과거 및 미래 수문자료의 경향성을 파악하고 비교하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 경향성 분석은 크게 모수적 검정과 비모수적 검정으로 구분될 수 있으나, 수문자료의 특성에 의해 비모수적 검정이 유리한 경우가 대부분이다. 본 연구에서도 낙동강 유역에서 수집된 과거 및 미래 강우량의 경향성 분석을 위해 비모수적 검정 중 MK 검정과 SR 검정을 사용하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 경향성 분석 절차의 사전절차로 PW 기법과 TFPW 기법을 적용하고 비교함으로써, 자료의 사전처리가 최종 결과에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 제시하였다. 특히 SMK 기법을 적용하여 낙동강 유역의 강우자료의 경향성이 시작되는 시기를 추가로 분석하였다. 과거 강우자료의 분석결과 년총강우량은 대부분 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 4월과 5월 그리고 9월과 10월 사이를 기점으로 강우패턴이 변화됨을 알 수 있었으며, 미래 강우자료의 분석결과 기후변화가 심해짐에 따라 경향성이 시작되는 시기가 수개월씩 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 향후 기후변화와 관련된 연구의 기초자료로 제공될 수 있으며, 낙동강 유역의 수자원 관리와 계획의 수립에 있어 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
