본 연구는 낙동강 본류에 서식하는 Pectinatella magnifica의 출현양상을 조사하기 위해 발생시기인 2014년 7월~11월 동안 기본 분포조사와 출현밀도가 높은 지역을 대상으로 집중조사를 실시하였다. 그 결과, 낙동강 본류 구간 내 Pectinatella magnifica의 부착기질은 인공적으로 형성된 기질에서 12.3%, 자연기질에서 87.7%로써 자연기질에서 매우 높게 확인되었으나 자연기질에 포함된 식물군락의 특정 종에 따른 선호하는 정도는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 반면 본 조사 결과에서는 고착대상으로 하는 기질의 분포 정도의 차이는 P. magnifica의 분포 차이에 영향을 미치고 있음을 보여주었다. 그러므로 태형동물이 선호하는 출현기질의 증가는 P. magnifica의 성장 및 분포에 영향을 미치는 요인 중 하나로써 작용될 것으로 사료된다.

2009년 11월 착공되어 2011년 11월 준공된 낙동강 낙단보 구간의 상류와 하류 지점을 대상으로 2007년부터 2014년까지 8년간 연 4회 조사된 저서성 대형무척추동물의 변화 양상을 파악하였다. 8년간의 자료를 보 설치 이전인 2007년부터 2009년, 공사 기간이었던 2010년부터 2011년, 준공 이후인 2012년부터 2014년의 3개 시기로 구분하여 분석한 결과, 공사 이전에 비해 공사 이후에 전반적인 종수 및 개체수가 평균 51종 895inds. m-2에서 25종 84inds. m-2로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 특히 이러한 감소 경향은 낙단보의 하류에 비해 상류에서 두드러지게 나타났으며, 분류군별로는 Trichoptera의 감소 폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 낙단보 준공이후 우점도는 증가, 다양도 및 풍부도는 감소하였으며, 준공 직후인 2012년에 일시적으로 큰 변화를 보였다. 섭식기능군은 준공 이후 GC와 P의 개체수 비율이 증가하였으며, 서식기능군은 BU의 개체수 비율이 증가하였다. 이러한 현상은 준설에 의해 수변부의 경사도가 비교적 높아짐에 따른 저수심지대 면적 감소, 보 설치에 의한 유속 감소, 하상 구조 중 모래 비율의 증가 등의 영향으로, 유속이 느린 수계에서 모래에 굴을 파고 서식하거나, 하상의 CPOM과 FPOM을 주워먹는 종의 비율이 증가하는 경향을 보인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 보 준공이후 신규 이입된 종과 교란에 의해 영향을 받은 종들에 대한 지속적인 연구가 요구된다.

본 연구에서는 낙동강의 상주보에서부터 합천창녕보까지의 8개에 보에 대해 2011년부터 2013년 까지의 수온, 적산일사량, 영양염 농도, 식물플랑크톤 군집분포, 기타 수질조사 결과를 이용하여 식물플랑크톤 우점종의 천이특성과 수온과의 상관성, 우점종 상호 간의 영향 등에 대해 고찰하였다. 8개 보 단위의 별 우점종 평가에 있어 총 25개 종이 우점하고 있었다. 봄철에 대발생하는 Stephanodiscus sp.는 우점빈도가 39.4%로서 가장 높았으며 현존량 우점율은 58.6%였다. 여름철에 대발생하는 Microcystis sp.의 우점빈도는 8.5%였고 현존량 우점율은 36.6%였다. 8개 조사지점의 수온차이는 평균 1.83℃로서 지점별 차이는 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다. 분석 대상 우점종 중 수온과 음의 상관성을 보인 것은 Stephanodiscus sp. 1개 종(r=-0.26, p<0.01)이었으며 나머지 7개 종은 양의 상관성이 유의하게 나타냈다(r=0.08~0.28). Stephanodiscus sp.는 2∼18℃의 수온범위에서 높은 개체밀도를 보였고 2℃ 이하에서는 2,000cells ml-1 이하의 적은 개체밀도를 보였다. Stephanodiscus sp.의 봄철 수화현상 다음에 우점하는 종은 Aulacoseira granulata, Fragilaria crotonensis, Cyclotella sp. 등이었으며, Microcystis sp.는 Stephanodiscus sp.의 개체밀도가 감소되는 18℃ 정도에서 개체수 증가속도가 높아졌으며, 수온이 25℃ 이상이 되면 10,000cells mL-1를 초과하기 시작하고 28℃ 이상에서부터 현저하게 증가하여 수화현상이 나타났다. 낙동강에서 광범위한 수온 영역에 적응하고 있는 종은 Cyclotella sp., Aulacoseira granulata, Fragilaria crotonensis 등이었다. 적산일사량과 유의한 상관성을 보인 것은 Aulacoseira granulata 1개 종이었다. Stephanodiscus sp.는 분석대상 우점종 중에 Aulacoseira granulata 및 Aphanizomenon flos-aquae 종과의 상관계수가 각각 -0.12 및 -0.09로서(p<0.05) 음의 상관성이 유의하게 나타났다. Stephanodiscus sp.는 동물성플랑크톤의 요각류 (r=-0.11, p<0.01), 지각류 (r=-0.09, p<0.05) 등과 음이 상관성이 유의하게 나타났다. 따라서 Stephanodiscus sp.는 낙동강에서 동물성플랑크톤의 중요한 섭식원이 되고 있을 것으로 추정된다. 여름철 최대 우점종인 Microcystis sp.는 음의 상관성을 나타낸 다른 우점종은 없었다.

수중음향측정 방식은 어류이동에 대한 연속적인 자료 를 확보하기 위해 사용되는 방식으로, 대형하천이나 하구 에서 이동하는 어류의 이동에 용이하게 활용된다. 낙동강 은 남한에서 가장 긴 하천으로 연속적인 보의 설치로 인 하여 하천의 변형이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 국 내에 서식하는 잉어과 어류인 강준치를 대상으로 하여 수중음향측정방식을 적용, 서식처범위(home range)와 이 동거리, 이동패턴에 대한 모니터링을 시행하였다. 연구는 낙동강 하구둑부터 창녕함안보까지의 약 80 km 구간을 대상으로 총 14개체의 강준치를 3지점에 방류하여 모니 터링을 수행하였다. 하구둑(N02)에서 방류한 8개체들은 방류지점으로부터 15.9 km 상류지점까지를 서식처 범위로 하여 이동하였고, 삼랑진(N07)에서 방류한 4개체들은 신 호가 사라진 E12개체를 제외하고 하류로 이동하였으며, 9.7 km 구간을 서식처 범위로 활용하였다. 2개체가 방류된 창녕함안보(N10)에는 모두가 하류로 이동 하였으며, 이 중 E14개체는 32일 동안 가장 긴 누적감지거리(36.7 km) 를 이동하였다. 강준치의 체장과 누적감지거리, 서식처 범 위와는 상관성이 없는 것으로 확인되었다(Spearman rank correlation, p¤0.05). 비록 본 연구 방식이 담수어류의 이동에 유용하지만 좀 더 자세한 결과를 확보하기 위해 서는 수신기의 수와 적용하는 발신기의 수를 증가시킬 필요성이 있다.

As a result of analysis based on the observed data for BOD, COD and TOC in order to manage non-biodegradable organics in the Geumho River, COD/BOD ratio was analyzed as the occupying predominance proportion. In this study, the classification(changes in water quality measurement : increase, equal, decrease) and measurement of BOD and COD were analyzed for trends over the past 10 years from 2005 to 2014 in the Geumho River. The Geumho River is expected to need non-biodegradable organics management because BOD was found to be reduced 61.1% and COD was found to be increased 50%. As a result of the analysis of land use, the Geumho-A is a unit watershed area of 921.13 km2, which is the most common area that is occupied by forests. The Geumho-B is a unit watershed area of 436.8 km2, which is the area that is highest occupied by agriculture and grass of 24.84%. The Geumho-C is a unit watershed area of 704.56 km2 accounted for 40.29% of the entire watershed, which is the area that is occupied by urban of 15.12%. Load of non-biodegradable organics, which is not easy biodegradable according to the discharge, appeared to be increased because flow coefficient of COD and TOC at the Geumho-B were estimated larger than 1 value. The management of non-point sources of agricultural land is required because the Geumho-B watershed area occupied by the high proportion of agriculture and field. In this segment it showed to increase the organics that biodegradation is difficult because the ratio of BOD and TOC was decreased rapidly from GR7 to GR8. Thus, countermeasures will be required for this.

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.

In this study, it is an object to develop a regression model for the estimation of TOC (total organic carbon) concentration using investigated data for three years from 2010 to 2012 in the Gam Stream unit watershed, and applied in 2009 to verify the applicability of the regression model. TOC and CODMn (chemical oxygen demand) were appeared to be derived the highest correlation. TOC was significantly correlated with 5 variables including BOD (biological oxygen demand), discharge, SS (suspended solids), Chl-a (chlorophyll a) and TP (total phosphorus) of p<0.01. As a result of PCA (principal component analysis) and FA (factor analysis), COD, TOC, SS, discharge, BOD and TP have been classified as a first factor. TOCe concentration was estimated using the model developed as an independent variable BOD5 and CODMn. R squared value between TOC and measurement TOC is 0.745 and 0.822, respectively. The independent variable were added step by step while removing lower importance variable. Based on the developed optimal model, R squared value between measurement value and estimation value for TOC was 0.852. It was found that multiple independent variables might be a better the estimation of TOC concentration using the regression model equation(in a given sites).

This study analyzed the characteristics of stormwater runoff in the orchard areas and quantitatively estimated effluence of nonpoint source pollutants for the volume of runoff. Two target areas under vine cultivation were each 2,000㎡ and 1,800㎡, located in Gyeongju City. Since grape was the only crop on the target area, the characteristics of stormwater runoff at vineyard could be evaluated independently. A total of 51 rainfall events in the vineyard area during two years(2008-2009) was surveyed, and 19 of them became stormwater runoff, with rainfall ranging 16.5 - 79.7 mm and antecedent dry period of 1-13 days. The pollutant runoff loads by volume of stormwater runoff showed BOD ranging 19.5 - 45.3% in 30% of runoff volume. The average pollution discharge rate was 32.4%, indicating small first flush effect of BOD. The range of SS concentrations was 5 –52.0% in 10% of runoff volume, showing the average 28.7% of discharge rate, about 3 times more than rainfall effluent. TOC and TN appeared to be similar to the results of BOD, the average discharge rate of 30.9% and 30.6% for TOC and TN, respectively, for 30% of stormwater runoff volume. Average discharge rate of COD and TP in the same runoff volume was 35.1% and 36%, respectively, showing comparatively high discharge ratio. As the targeted vineyard area was permeable land, the pollution load ratio against rainfall-runoff volume appeared to be 1:1, implying no strong first flush effect for all the survey items.

Milyanggang mid-watershed is located in downstream of Nakdong river basin. The pollutants from that watershed have an direct effect on Nakdong river water quality and it's control is important to manage a water quality of Nakdong river. A target year of Milyanggang mid-watershed water environment management plan is 2013. To predict a water quality at downstream of Milyang river, we have investigated and forecasted the pollutant source and it's loading. There are some plan to construction the sewage treatment plants to improve the water quality of Milyang river. Those are considered on predicting water quality. As results, it is shown that the population of Milyanggang mid-watershed is 131,857 and sewerage supply rate is 62.2% and the livestock is 1,775.300 in 2006. It is estimated that the population is 123,921, the sewerage supply rate is 75.5% in 2013. The generated loading of BOD and TP is 40,735 kg/day and 2,872 kg/day in 2006 and discharged loading is 11,818 kg/day and 722 kg/day in 2006 respectively. Discharged loadings were forecasted upward 1.0% of BOD and downward 2.7% of TP by 2013. The results of water quality prediction of Milyanggang 3 site were 1.6 mg/L of BOD and 0.120 mg/L of TP in 2013. It is over the target water quality at that site in 2015 about 6.7% and 20.0% respectively. Consequently, there need another counterplan to reduce the pollutants in that mid-watershed by 2015.

This study analyzed the characteristics of stormwater runoff by rainfall type in orchard areas for two years. Effluents were monitored to calculate the EMCs and runoff loads of each pollutant. The runoff characteristics for nonpoint sources from vineyards were also inspected based on independent variables that affect runoff such as rainfall and rainfall intensity. The average runoff loads of each pollutant from vineyard_A and vineyard_B were found as follows: BOD 39.13 ㎎/㎡, COD 112.13 ㎎/㎡, TOC 54.98 ㎎/㎡, SS 1,681.8 ㎎/㎡, TN 18.29 ㎎/㎡, and TP 4.06 ㎎/㎡, which indicates that the COD's runoff load was especially high. The average EMCs from vineyard_A and vineyard_B, which represents the quality of rainfall effluent, were also analyzed: BOD 3.5 ㎎/L, COD 11.5 ㎎/L, TOC 5.2 ㎎/L, SS 211.7 ㎎/L, TN 1.774 ㎎/L, and TP 0.324 ㎎ /L. This suggested that the COD, as an indicator of organic pollutants, is high in terms of EMCs as well. As rainfall increased, the EMCs of BOD, COD, TOC and SS kept turning upward. At a point, however, the high rainfall brought about dilution effects and began to push down the EMCs. Higher rainfall intensities led to the increase in the EMCs that displays the convergence of rainfall. Low rainfall intensities also raised pollutant concentrations, although the concentrations themselves were slightly different among pollutants.

Growth in population and urbanization has progressively increased the loading of pollutants from nonpoint sources as well as point sources. Especially in case of road regions such as city trunk road, national road and highway are rainfall and pollutants runoff intensive landuses since they are impervious and emit a lot of pollutants from vehicle activity. This research was conducted to investigate the nonpoint sources concentration and quantifying stormwater pollutants which are contained in rainfall runoff water. Three different monitoring sites in Jinju and Changwon city were equipped with an automatic rainfall gauge and flow meter for measuring rainfall and the volume of rainfall runoff. In the case of average EMC value, city trunk road was shown the highest value in target water quality items like as BOD, COD, SS, TN and TP. Or the amount of runoff loads by water quality items showed the highest value in city trunk road. And runoff load in city trunk road was 43.8 times high value compared to highway by value of city trunk road 356.7 ㎎/㎡, highway 8.150 ㎎/㎡, national road 19.99 ㎎/ ㎡ in the case of BOD.

Agriculture nonpoint pollution source is a significant contributor to water quality degradation. To establish effective water quality control policy, environpolitics establishment person must be able to estimate nonpoint source loads to lakes and streams. To meet this need for orchard area, we investigated a real rainfall runoff phenomena about it. We developed nonpoint source runoff estimation models for vineyard area that has lots of fertilizer, compost specially between agricultural areas. Data used in nonpoint source estimation model gained from real measuring runoff loads and it surveyed for two years(2008-2009 year) about vineyard. Nonpoint source runoff loads estimation models were composed of using independent variables(rainfall, storm duration time(SDT), antecedent dry weather period(ADWP), total runoff depth(TRD), average storm intensity(ASI), average runoff intensity(ARI)). Rainfall, total runoff depth and average runoff intensity among six independent variables were specially high related to nonpoint source runoff loads such as BOD, COD, TN, TP, TOC and SS. The best regression model to predict nonpoint source runoff load was Model 6 and regression factor of all water quality items except for was R² =0.85.

Deoxygenation process in which CBOD(carbonaceous BOD) is biochemically oxidized to reduced inorganic compounds is of great significance in the oxygen demand of stream waters. The CBOD decay rate has traditionally been determined in a laboratory by CBOD bottle incubation method. But in this study, CBOD decay rates were obtained by laboratory incubation method and natural waters experiment. Average CBOD decay rate for the Nakdong river(upper zone) in natural waters were 0.553 day-1 during April 2005 to January 2007. The values in the middle and down parts of the Nakdong river in natural waters were 0.384 day-1 and 0.252 day-1 at the same period of time, respectively. Average CBOD decay rates using by incubation method in the upper/middle/down parts of the main stream in the Nakdong river basin was 0.270 day-1, 0.289 day-1, and 0.283 day-1 during April 2005 to January 2007, respectively.

As analyzed the estimated values of the daily delivery loads from thirteen major side streams such as Naesung-river, Keumho-river, Hwang-river, Nam-river during five years (from 1999 to 2003), the daily BOD inflow into the main stream of Nakdong river in 2003 shows the highest quantity as 31.1 ton and the daily BOD inflows in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 are 26.7 ton, 22.5 ton, 21.0 ton, 25.8 ton, respectively. The daily TN inflow into the main stream of Nakdong river in 2003 shows also the highest quantity as 64.9 ton and the daily TN inflows in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 are 55.19 ton, 46.27 ton, 39.5 ton, 53.38 ton, respectively. The daily TP inflow into the main stream of Nakdong river in 2003 shows the highest quantity as 2.70 ton likewise and the daily TP inflows in 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 are 2.17 ton, 1.87 ton, 1.60 ton, 2.10 ton, respectively. The rate of BOD loads from each side main stream into the main stream of Nakdong river shows that the BOD loads of Keumho-river are the highest as the values range from 32.8 % (2002) ～ 35.1 % (2003) and the BOD loads of Nam-river, Naesung-river, Hwang-river are high in the order named. The rate of TN loads to the main stream is also similar to the trend of BOD loads. The contribution of the TN loads of Geumho-river to the contamination of the main stream is also the highest having a range from 27.0 % (2002) to 28.8 % (1999) among the main side streams and the TN loads of Naesung-river, Nam-river, and Heachun-river are high in the order named. The rate of TP loads is quite different from the trend of BOD and TN loads. The TP rate of Keumho-river, however, is still the highest as ranging 58.6 % (2002) to 61.7 % (2003) and the river has the biggest portion (over 50%) of the entire pollution to the main stream of Nakdong river.

The delivery load data obtained from Nakdong river basin are used for developing the model estimating the daily delivery load on the main side streams of Nakdong River. The developed model assesses the daily contamination loads of the main thirteen side streams that contribute to the main stream of Nakdong river. It is developed that the model using the simplified equation that can estimate the daily delivery loads on the side main streams of Nakdong river for a period of having no data of the water quality and flow. The developed model for estimating the daily delivery loads from the main side streams in Nakdong river basin on each item such as BOD, TN, and TP is expressed as Daily delivery load (kg / day) = Production load (kg / day)×(1−α)×(daily runoff / average runoff per year)γ. The estimated values obtained by using the model are almost fit to the calculated values (real data) that have been acquired from the thirteen main side streams in Nakdong river basin. The correlation coefficient values, R, that indicate the correlation between the estimated and the calculated show over 0.7 that mean the estimated values from the used model are adapted to the real data except TN values of Nam-river, Hwang-river, Gam-river, We-river. Especially, the correlation of TP values between the estimated and the calculated implies quite a creditable data to use.
