The key objective of this study was to evaluate trophic state and empirical water quality models along with analysis of fish trophic guilds in relation to water chemistry (N, P). Trophic state index (TSI), based on total phosphorus (TP) and chlorophyll-a (CHL), ranged between oligotrophic and hypereutrophic state, by the criteria of Nürnberg(1996), and was lower than the trophic state of total nitrogen (TN). Trophic relations of Secchi depth (SD), TN, TP, and CHL were compared using an empirical models of premonsoon (Pr), monsoon (Mo), and postmonsoon (Po). The model analysis indicated that the variation in water transparency of Secchi depth (SD) was largely accounted (p < 0.001, range of R2 : 0.76–0.80) by TP during the seasons of Mo and Po and that the variation of CHL was accounted (p < 0.001, R2 = 0.70) up to 70% by TP during the Po season. The eutrophication tendency, based on the TSITP vs. TSIN:P were predictable (R2 ranged 0.85–0.90, p < 0.001), slope and y intercept indicated low seasonal variability. In the mean time, TSIN:P vs. TSICHL had a monsoon seasonality in relation to values of TSIN:P during the monsoon season due to a dilution of reservoir waters by strong monsoon rainfall. Trophic compositions of reservoir fish reflected ambient contents of TN, TP, and CHL in the reservoir waters. Thus, the proportions of omnivore fish increased with greater trophic conditions of TP, TN and CHL and the proportions of insectivore fish decreased with greater trophic conditions.
This study was performed to investigate the physico-chemical properties and phytoplankton concentration from February to December, 2007 in Gwangju area reservoirs. Water samples from 20 reservoirs were analyzed. As results of the water quality analysis, the average pH was 7.6 and annual pH were 6.3 ~9.6. The higher pH of 8.6 ~ 9.6 were showed from March to August due to eutrophication. Chlorophyll-a concentration ranged from 0.4 to 164.3 mg/㎥. The highest chlorophyll-a concentration was observed in August. BOD was correlated with SS, T-N, and Chlorophyll-a(R=0.82, 0.90 and 0.84) respectively. COD was correlated with BOD, SS and Chlorophyll-a(R= 0.89, 0.77 and 0.76) respectively. The T-N/T-P ratios were 4~281, so phosphorus was considered to be the limiting factor in most of points. The trophic state showed eutrophicate states in Gwangju reservoirs. Therefore it was necessary to monitor continuously. In order to monitor the reservoirs, an algae prediction system must be used.
가뭄은 장시간동안 강수의 부족으로 발생하는 자연현상이며, 지역에 따라 해마다 여러 가지 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 특히 19941995년과 2001년에 발생한 가뭄은 피해가 매우 심각하였으며 중.소규모의 저수지가 바닥을 드러냈을 뿐 아니라 상당한 경제적인 손실도 발생하였다. 하지만 가뭄관리계획에 의해 저수지를 통한 최적의 물 공급방안을 제시함으로써 이러한 피해들을 최소화 시킬 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 최적의 저수지 운영을 위한 전문가시스템을 개발하
가뭄기간의 효율적인 저수지 운영은 가뭄계획에서 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄기간에 저수지의 용수공급능력을 모니터링 할 수 있는 새로운 가뭄지수로서 물공급능력지수(Water Supply Capacity Index, WSCI)를 개발하였다. WSCI는 극심한 기상조건하에서 각 저수지가 수요량에 대해 어느 정도 기간 용수를 공급할 수 있는가를 평가할 수 있는 정량적 지표이다. WSCI는 가뭄기간의 저수지 운영을 위한 의사결정에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공
