본 연구는 침엽수 인공림에서 강우와 유출에 따른 계류수 용존이온의 특성 밝혀보고자, 경기도 국립수목원 소재의 침엽수 시험림에서 강우, 유량, 용존이온을 조사하였다. 2005년 6월부터 2008년 9월까지 총 23개의 강수사상별 수질시 료를 채수하여 분석한 결과 API 값이 낮을수록 유출량이 적었다. 유량변화에 따른 용존이온 특성으로는, NH4 +, K+, Ca2+ 이온은 시계 방향, Cl-, NO3 - 이온은 반시계 방향의 이력곡선을 나타냈으며, SO4 2-, Na+, Mg2+ 이온은 이력현상을 보이지 않았다. Cl-, Na+, NH4 +는 지하수의 영향으로 강수 이전 수준으로 농도가 유지되는 것으로, NO3 -는 토양수의 영향으로 강수 이전 보다 높은 농도는 나타내는 것으로 판단된다. Cl-, SO4 2-, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+ 이온은 유출량 증가에 따라 강한 희석반응을 보였고, NO3 - 이온은 유출초기 희석 후 농도가 증가하였다. NO3 -, Ca2+ 이온은 강수 초기에 세탈효과를 나타냈다. 유출량 변화에 따른 이러한 농도변화 특성은 선행강수, 유출량, 지하수 등의 영향으로 판단된다.

Environmental policy implementation has been strengthened to protect the source waters in Korea and to improve their water quality. Increasing of non-point source caused water quality problem continuously. Research on runoff from forests, which occupy over 65% of the land in korea, is insufficient, and studies on the characteristics and influences of storm runoff are necessary. In this study, we chose to compare the effects of land use in the form of two types of forest distribution and then gathered data on storm characteristics and runoff properties during rainfall events in these areas. Furthermore, the significance and influences of the discharges were analyzed through correlation analysis, and multilateral runoff characteristics were examined by deducing a formula through CODMn and TOC regression analysis. At two forest points, for which the basin areas differed from each other, flow changed according to storm quantity and intensity. The peak discharge at point A, where the basin area was big, was high, whereas water-quality fundamental items (BOD, CODMn, and SS) and TOC density were high at point B where the slope and storm intensity were high. Effects of dissolved organic matter were determined through correlation analysis, and the regression formulas for CODMn and TOC were deduced by regression analysis. It is expected that the data from this study could be useful as basic information in establishing forest management measures.

This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of suspended solid concentration in small forest watershed, Hwacheon, Gangwondo. For five rainfall events from July 2013 to August 2013, rainfall, discharge, and suspended solid load has been measured. The results showed that the fist flush effect was observed for suspended solid in each rainfall event, sediment rating curve was obtained with y=3.029x1.573 at rising limb and y=12.902x1.8827 at falling limb, and EMC (event mean concentration) of suspended solid was calculated to 9.4 mg/L. EMC was compared to the values from the watershed that has various land use types and EMC from forest watershed was much lower that from the crop, paddy or low covered forest watershed.
