Understanding the characteristics of reservoir water quality is fundamental in reservoir ecosystem management. The water quality of reservoirs is affected by various factors including hydro-morphology of reservoirs, land use/cover, and human activities in their catchments. In this study, we classified 83 major reservoirs in South Korea based on nine physicochemical factors (pH, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, total suspended solid, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total organic carbon, electric conductivity, and chlorophyll-a) measured for five years (2015~2019). Study reservoirs were classified into five main clusters through hierarchical cluster analysis. Each cluster reflected differences in the water quality of reservoirs as well as hydromorphological variables such as elevation, catchment area, full water level, and full storage. In particular, water quality condition was low at a low elevation with large reservoirs representing cluster I. In the comparison of eutrophication status in major reservoirs in South Korea using the Korean trophic state index, in some reservoirs including cluster IV composed of lagoons, the eutrophication was improved compared to 2004~2008. However, eutrophication status has been more impaired in most agricultural reservoirs in clusters I, III, and V than past. Therefore, more attention is needed to improve the water quality of these reservoirs.

In this study, we analyzed the relationship between phytoplankton community and physicochemical factors in 12 lakes located in Jeollanam-do based on the data surveyed from March to November 2014. Totally, 297 species of phytoplankton were identified including 98 Bacillariophyceae, 148 Chlorophyceae, 23 Cyanophyceae and 28 other phytoplankton taxa. The standing crops ranged from 124 to 59,148 cells mL-1 and showed the highest in August with the increase of Cyanophycean cells. The self-organizing map (SOM) was optimized into 9×6 grid and was classified into 5 clusters based on the similarity of environmental factors and phytoplankton indices. The SOM results showed that phytoplankton communities had positive relationship with water temperature, SS, DO, BOD, TP and Chl-a, whereas low relationship with pH, TN, NH3-N, NO3-N, PO4-P and Conductivity. In Pearson’s correlation coefficient, relationship between environmental factors and phytoplankton communities showed similar results with SOM.

In this study, we evaluated the temporal changes of water quality in the 90 reservoirs in Korea and the relationships between water quality and their environmental factors in the reservoirs for effective management of reservoirs. The majority of study reservoirs were categorized as the eutrophic state based on Carlson’s trophic index. Among 90 reservoirs, more than 55.0% were nutrient-rich based on TSITP in each month, where more than 50.0% were nutrient-rich based on TSIChl-a from June to November. Seasonal Mann- Kendall test was used to analyze temporal variation of water quality in the selected 60 reservoirs using monthly data from 2004 to 2008. The results showed that 27 (45.0%) reservoirs showed the improvement of water quality based on TP and Chl-a concentrations, while 14 (23.3%) and 11 (18.3%) reservoirs displayed the degradation of water quality based on TP and Chl-a concentrations, respectively. Meanwhile, a self-organizing map classified the study reservoirs into five groups based on differences of hydrogeomorphology (altitude, catchment area, bank height, lake age, etc.). Physicochemical factors and land use/cover types showed clear differences among groups. Finally, hydrogeomorphology of reservoirs were related to water quality, indicating that the hydrogeomorphological characters strongly affect water quality of reservoirs.

2010년 2월부터 12월까지 상수원 호소인 가창호에 대한 수질 및 생물상을 조사하였다. 가창호 유역내 총 BOD 발생부하량은 생활계가 53%로 가장 많이 차지하였으며 토지계(27%), 축산계(16%) 순으로 나타났다. 가창호 유역내 총 TN, TP 발생부하량은 토지계가 각각 59%, 42%로 가장 많이 차지하였다. 가창호 유역내 총 BOD 배출부하량은 토지계가 61%의 높은 비율을 나타내었고 생활계(24%), 산업계(11%) 순으로 나타났다. TN,

The objective of this study is to investigate water quality of lake and to provide data for management practices of water quality measurement network in Chungcheongnam-do. 100 Samples of lakes was collected and analyzed. Variation degree of water contamination and changing trend of lake water for the samples were considered focussed on COD. The obtained results were as follows; 1. As a analytical results to water contamination, COD concentration for 28 lakes in 8 cities exceeded 8.0㎎/L so that it was evaluated these water can't help using farming water. 2. All lakes in Gongju and Cheonyang region was suitable for agricultural water as 3th class of water quality standard, 9 out of 12 lakes in Taean was short of the quality of agricultural water standard, and 3 lakes in Dangjin was serious contaminated under the regular grades. 3. There was no lake water fitted to 1 grade class of environmental standard of lake water quality in korea, only one lake suitable to 2 class, 48% for 3 class, 21% for 4 class, 16% for 5 class and 12% under the grade. So it was become that water quality of most lakes in Chungcheongnam-do was contaminated.

최근 기후변화로 인해 기온, 강수, 증발산 등의 수문순환 요소들이 과거와는 다르게 빠른 속도로 변하고 있다. 이러한 기후변화는 기온과 수온의 상승으로 인해 수자원 및 수질분야에 긍정적인 영향보다는 부정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기후변화가 미래 댐유역의 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위해 기후변화 시나리오를 적용, 강우-유출모형인 SWAT 모형을 이용하여 장기유출량을 산정하고, 유출량을 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code)모형에 적용하여 기후변화에 따른 호소 내 시공간적 수질 거동을 파악하고자 한다. <br>본 연구의 대상지역으로는 섬진강 댐 상류유역인 운암호로 선정하였으며, 수질평가 항목으로 T-N, T-P를 선정하였다. 미래 섬진강 댐 유역의 수질변화를 살펴봄으로써, 향후 상수원의 취수 및 수질관리대책 수립 등을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
