본 조사는 전라북도 양액재배 25개 농가의 원수를 채취하여 무기이온을 중심으로 한 수질상태를 분석하여 배양액 조성에 필요한 기초자료를 얻기 위하여 수행하였다. 양액재배에 이용되는 원수의 수질 분석 결과에서 pH의 수준은 6.00-7.65로서 평균 6.58이었다. 전기전도도(EC)의 분포범위는 0.01-0.94 mS/cm로서 평균 0.23 mS/cm이었다. Na과 Cl의 분포범위는 각각 4.71-145.44 ppm, 0-171.80 ppm로서 평균 24.24 ppm, 26.33 ppm이었다. 7.7%의 농가가 Na과 Cl의 함량이 다른 농가와 비교할 때 대단히 높게 조사되어 이들 농가의 원수 수질은 부적합하였다. K, Ca 및 Mg의 분포범위는 각각 0.93-17.38 ppm, 2.29 3.30 ppm 및 0.70 18,61 ppm로서 평균 3.06 ppm, 13,00 ppm 및 4.91 ppm이었다. SO4와 PO4의 함량 범위는 각각 0.63-59.79 ppm과 0-4.28 ppm로서 평균 18.11 ppm과 0.51 ppm이었다. Cu와 Zn의 함량 범위는 0-0.32 ppm과 0-6.22 ppm로서 평균 0.02 ppm과 0.52 ppm이었다.

경북(慶北)의 낙동강수계(洛東江水系)와 동해안수계농촌(東海岸水系農村) 17개(個) 지점(地点)을 기준(基準)하여 농업용수원(農業用水源)의 수질환경(水質環境)을 조사검토(調査檢討)하여 장래(將來)의 방재대책(防災對策)에 참고하고져 조사분석(調査分析)을 실시(實施)한 바 농업용수원(農業用水源)을 기준(基準)할 때 수온상태(水溫狀態)는 수질(水質)을 저해(沮害)시킬 큰 요인(要因)이나 문제점(問題点)이 없으며 PH는 6.5~7.8의 절위에서 기준치(基準値)에 저촉되지 않으며 염도의 기준(基準)이 되는 전기전도도(電氣傳導度)도 에 이르는 지점도 있으나 농업용수의 수질저해지점에는 미치지 못하며 BOD의 경우는 기준치 10ppm에 육박(肉迫)하는 지점(地点)이 있어 다소(多少)의 위험위협을 받고 있다. 그리고 DO의 경우는 위험기준치에 미달(未達)하고 있다. 그리고 중금속(重金屬)에 속하는 Cu, Pb, Cd 등도 아직은 위험기준치에는 미달(未達)이나 장차에는 주위의 산업(産業)과 도시발달(都市發達)에 따르는 특별(特別)한 조치가 없는 한(限) 위험조건에 이를 것으로 생각된다.

This study analyzed the temporal and spatial characteristics of water quality for five hydropower dam reservoirs in South Korea. Water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) showed high fluctuations in summer and autumn at all reservoirs, indicating the existence of seasonal effects. At all five reservoirs, the concentrations of suspended solids (SS) and total nitrogen (TN) fell under the “slightly bad” category and those of total organic carbon (TOC) fell under the “slightly good” category or higher, according to “the standard for living environment of lake water quality.” Variations in the concentration ranges and degrees of change in SS, TN, and TOC among reservoirs were observed, indicating the influences of rainfall, surrounding environments, and seasonal changes. Daecheong and Namgang Dam showed high Chl-a concentrations in summer, indicating that the metabolism of microbial communities, such as algae, was active.

In this study, the antibiotic components in the final effluent from the 12 wastewater treatment facilities located in the Nakdong River basin were investigated, and the correlation between organic matters, nutrients and antibiotics was analyzed. In the final effluent of the wastewater treatment facilities, three sulfonamides antibiotics (sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole, sulfachlorpyridazine) and tetracyclines antibiotics (oxytetracycline, doxycycline) were detected. Sulfamethazine were detected at all points and ranged from 10.398 to 278.784 ng/L. Sulfathiazole were detected at 6 points (Andong, Gumi, Hapcheon, Miryang, Uiryeong, Haman), and ranged from 23.773 to 144.468 ng/L. The correlation coefficients between sulfathiazole and TSS, COD, TOC, NH3-N, NO2-N, and T-N components were high in the range of 0.73 to 0.92. The correlation coefficient between sulfamethazine and T-N was 0.48, and the correlation with the rest of the water quality components was low. The correlation coefficient between sulfamethazine and sulfathiazole was 0.78. Through this study, it was confirmed that the concentration of sulfonamides antibiotics was higher than the concentration of tetracyclines antibiotics in the final effluent of 12 wastewater treatment facilities in the Nakdong River basin, and the concentration of sulfathiazole increased with organic matters and nutrients.

In this study, water quality levels were classified and water quality indices were calculated and analysed by using the water quality components of living environmental standards monitored 10 years (2008 ~ 2017) at four stations in the West Nakdong River. As a result of analyzing the monthly variation of the water quality components of the living environmental standards, the water quality in the West Nakdong River was worse downstream than upstream, and pollution at the WNR3 located in the downstream of the Jomangang was the most serious. As a result of classification of water quality levels, BOD and COD levels were the lowest, so water quality pollution in the West Nakdong River was found to be highly influenced by organic matters. The water quality index was the lowest in July and August at four stations, so water quality is showing the worst in summer. As a result of analyzing the correlation between the water quality components and the water quality index, the correlation between the TOC and the water quality index was high in the four stations, and the water quality index in the West Nakdong River was dominated by organic matters and nutrients.
