부착규조 군집의 유기오탁지수 (DAIpo)에 의해 금호강의 수질을 평가하고 이전 수질과 비교하기 위하여 금호강에 5개의 정점을 선정하고, 2010년 4월부터 2012년 9월까지 매년 4월과 9월 총 6회에 걸쳐 채집조사를 실시하였다. 116종이 출현하였으며 2목, 3아목, 7과, 26속, 103종, 13변종으로 분류되었다. Achnanthes minutissima 등 10종이 우점하였고 하류로 갈수록 호오탁성종이 늘어났다. 부착규조 군집과 이화학적 요인과의 상관관계 (r)는 -0.62 ~0.71의 범위로 상관성의 범위가 넓었다. 두 규조지수 (DAIpo, TDI)가 총질소와 높은 상관성 (r=0.57, r=0.67)을 나타내어 총질소가 부착규조 군집에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 상관분석 결과, DAIpo와 TDI는 상관계수 0.62로 나타났다. 평균DAIpo는 37.24~ 74.98이었고 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 수치가 낮아졌다. 금호강의 정점별 평균수질은 정점 1은 β-빈부수성수역, 정점 2는 α-빈부수성수역, 정점 3는 β-중부수성수역으로 이전의 수질과 변화가 거의 없었다. 그러나 정점 4와 5는 α-중부수성수역과 강부수성수역으로 수질오염이 심하였으나, 이번 조사에서 β-중부수성수역으로 나타나 하류의 수질이 상당히 개선된 것으로 나타났다. DAIpo를 이용한 종합적 수질평가인 RPId는 52.27로 금호강은 중간 정도의 수질로 평가되었다.

In this study, how branches of Kumho River affect to the water quality on Kumho River was investigated. Water samples from six sampling points at Kumho River and three at each branch were taken from Dec. 2009 to Dec. 2011. As results, Namcheon affected BOD and T-P concentrations on Kumho River while Sincheon did only T-P concentrations. However, the water quality of Kumho River was improved because of Sincheon in terms of BOD and COD concentrations. This was the results from management of Sincheon wastewater treatment facility and Jisan wastewater treatment facility which might be the best example for managing wastewater treatment facilities. Dalsecheon would not affect the water quality of Kumho River although it had bad conditions of water quality because of lack of its water quantity comparing to Kumho River’s.

최근의 극심한 기상이변으로 인하여 발생되는 이상호우의 예측에 관한 사항은 치수⋅이수는 물론 방재의 측면에서도 역시 매우 중요한 관심사로 부각되고 있다. 강우를 예측하기 위해 많은 방법들이 사용되고 있으나 강우의 메커니즘은 매우 복잡하여 수문순환과정에서 가장 예측하기 힘든 요소이며, 추계학적 예측모형이나 확정론적 예측모형 모두에 있어 상당한 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 기상예측모형 등을 이용하여 강우예측에 대한 정도를 높여가고는 있으나 많은 수문학적 모형에서 요구하는 시공간적으로 정도가 높은 강우를 예측하기에는 힘들다.

본 연구는 낙동강의 주요 지류인 금호강에 대하여 하상퇴적물의 광물학적 성분을 밝히고 이와 더불어 퇴적물에 포함된 중금속의 농도를 파악하여 이에 미치는 영향 등을 알아보고자 수행되었다. 금호강의 경우 유하거리가 짧지만 유하하는 동안 암상 및 산업지대의 변화가 뚜렷하여 퇴적물내 중금속의 농도에 영향을 미치는 지질학적 및 산업활동에 의한 요인들을 알아보기에는 좋은 연구대상이다. 하천퇴적물을 이루고 있는 광물로는 석영, 알바이트 사장석 등이 주요 조암광물을 이루고 있었으며 이외 정장석, 미사장석, 각석섬 등이 소량으로 동정되었다. 점토광물로는 일라이트, 녹니석, 카올리나이트 등이 같이 산출되었다. 상류에서 하류로 가면서 화산암에서 퇴적암으로 암상이 변하지만 전체적인 광물의 종이나 양에 있어서는 뚜렷한 변화를 보이지 않고 있어 모암의 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 보인다. 중금속의 경우 함유량에 있어서 Zn > Pb > Cu > Ni > Cr > Co > Cd의 순서로 나타났다. 상류에서 하류로 가면서 시료채취지점별로 농도의 증감을 보이며 Pb를 제외하고는 전체적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 부분적인 농도의 증가는 오염원으로부터 유출된 중금속을 포함하는 지천의 영향을 주로 받는 것으로 나타났으며 광물의 성분의 변화가 없음에도 이러한 변화를 보이는 것은 대체로 광물의 영향보다는 오염원의 영향이 더 큰 것으로 보인다. Pb와 Ni의 경우를 제외하고는 과거의 오염원에 의하여 현재까지 퇴적물에 부화되어 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Concentrations of PCBs in the sediment of the Kumho River was determined. Samples were collected at 23 locations along the river. Total PCB levels ranged from 2.7 to 87.6 ng/g dry weight. The site near the Keomdan factory district had the highest concentrations. The levels of PCB congeners significantly correlated with the total organic carbons in the sediment. The major fractions of PCBs were congeners containing 4, 5, or 6 chlorine atoms per biphenyl molecule.

This study was performed to plan pollutant loading allocation by sub-watershed at Kumho river basin located in the north Kyeongsang province. HEC-geoHMS which is extension program of ArcView was used to extract sub-watershed. To simulate water quality, Qual2eu model was calibrated and validated. BOD was simulated under several scenarios to evaluate reduction effects of pollutant loading. Uniform treatment and transfer matrix method was considered. Effects of headwater flow rate and efficiency waste water treatment plant were also considered.

In order to study the long-term change of heavy metal concentrations in the Kumho river water, water analysis was conducted at l3sites surrounding the Kumho river system for l8times from September 1993 to August 1999. Analytical items for the study of water quality are Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn and Pb. The six year term studied in this work was divided into Part Ⅰ and Part Ⅱ, which covers the period from September 1993 to August 1996 and the period from September 1996 to August 1999, respectively. The mean concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn and Pb in the unit of ppm for the PartⅠ period showed 0.032, 0.025, 0.006, 0.006, 0.050, 0.053 and 0.019, respectively. The mean concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn and Pb in the unit of ppm for the Part Ⅱ period showed 0.001, 0.001, 0.001, 0.004, 0.020, 0.002 and 0.002, respectively. The heavy metal concentrations in the Kumho river water for the second period were found to be decreased by 1/32, 1/25, 1/6, 1/1.5, 1/2.5, 1/26.5 and 1/9.5 for Cu, Zn, Cd, Cr, Fe, Mn and Pb, respectively. The present results clearly indicate that the water quality in the Kumho river is improving in terms of heavy metal contaminations.

It is essential for port planning, coastal zone management and environmental impact study to analyze the variation of current and water quality due to the development of water area and discharged water from estuary barrage and basin etc. Mokpo sea area downstreams from a long river and two large basins, the Yongsan river and Yongam-Kumho basins discharging much of water through water gates for the purpose of flood control and prohibition of salt intrusion to the inland fresh water area. In this study, the numerical calculations were carried out for the analysis of diffusion characteristics due to discharging operation, adapting the results of tidal current simulation ADI methord is applied to the governing equation for the movement of sea water and diffusion and 6-point method to the advection terms of diffusion equation. As the results of this study, it is known that the discharging operation causes increasing and/or decreasing of current velocity and enlarging and/or depressing of pollutant diffusion limits depending on the distance from the discharging gates and the mode of discharging operation. To utilize these result, the linked gate operation and the method increasing exchange of sea water must be considered.

Mokpo coastal area is connected to the adjacent a long river and two large basins. It is essential for port planning coastal zone management and environmental impact study to analyze the data related to the ship operation and variation of current and water quality due to the development of water area including dredging reclamation and estuary barrage. The Yongsan river estuary weir and Yongam-Kumho basins discharge much of water through water gates for the purpose of flood control and prohibit salt intrusion at the inland fresh water area. To meet this purpose discharge through the gates have been done at the period of maximum water level difference between inner river and sea level. This discharged water may cause the changes of current pattern and other environmental influences in the vicinity and inner area of semi-closed Mokpo harbor. In this study ADI method is applied to the governing equation for the analysis of the changes on current pattern due to discharged water. As the results of this study it is known that the discharging operation causes many changes including the increase of current velocity at the front water area at piers approaching passage and anchorages. Discussion made on the point of problems such as restricted maneuverability and the safety of morred vessels at pier and anchorage. To minimize this influence the linked gate operation discharging warning system and laternative mooring system are recommended.

In order to study on the long-term change of water quality, water analysis was conducted at 16 sites surrounding the Kumho river system for 11 times from September 1990 to August 1993. Analytical items for the study of water quality are as follows; water temperature, pH, COD, BOD, DO, SS, electrical conductivity, NH_3-N, NO_2^- -N, NO_3^- -N, PO_4^3- -P, total-P, hardness, oil and grease, ABS, phenol, zinc, chromium, cadmium, manganese, iron, lead and color. The long-term change of water quality in the Kumho river for the period studied was found that the values of water temperature, electrical conductivity, phenol, NO_2^- -N and NH_3-N were increasing and those of COD, BOD, SS, oil and grease, ABS, NO_3 -N, PO_4^3- -P, copper, zinc, chromium, cadmium, manganese and lead were decreasing, while those of pH, hardness, iron and manganese were steady.
