This study focused on using indirect filtration through riverbeds to produce high-quality drinking water. Data on water quality from a water intake facility(capacity 10,000 m3/day) and nearby rivers were collected over a three-year period. The average intake facility specifications were found to be a specific surface area of 58 balls/m2, a mean particle size of 24 mm, an inflow velocity of 2.2 cm/sec, and a burial depth of 5 m. The water quality improvement rate was assessed as grade Ia, surpassing the adjacent river’s water quality. Correlation analysis showed a weak correlation between opening ratio, Suspended Solid (SS), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) compared to total coliforms and fecal coliforms. The correlation coefficient R value of SS was -0.614, BOD was –0.588, total coliforms -0.870, and fecal coliforms -0.958. The R value shows a negative value, which showed that the larger the opening rate, the lower the removal rate of water pollutants. The correlation coefficient R values according to the depth of burial were found to be BOD 0.914, SS-0.124, total coliforms 1.000, and fecal coliforms 0.866. The deeper the burial depth, the higher the removal rate of BOD and microbial groups.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to assess removal efficiency of non-point pollutants and applicability for non-point pollutant reduction facilities by conducting the demonstration project operation. METHODS : In order to analyze removal efficiency of non-point pollutants for facilities such as a grassed swale, a small constructed wetland, a free water surface wetland, a horizontal sub-surface flow wetland, and a sand filtration, the field data including specifications of facilities, rainfall, inflow and runoff rainfall effluent etc. was acquired after occurring rainfall events, and the acquired data was analyzed for removal efficiency rate to assess road non-point pollutants facilities using event mean concentration (EMC) and summation of load (SOL) methods. RESULTS: The results of analyzing rainfall effluent, non-point pollutant sources showed that total suspended solid (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chrome (Cr), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) can be removed through non-point pollutant reduction facilities by 60.3% ~ 100%. Especially removal efficiency of TSS, COD and BOD is relatively higher than removal efficiency of other non-point pollutant sources in all kind of non-point pollutant facilities. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the result of this study, even though natural type of non-point pollutant reduction facilities for roads occupy small areas comparing with drainage basin areas, most of non-point pollutant sources would be removed through the facilities.

본 연구에서는 사상성 조류로 구성된 수질정화시설의 수질정화효율을 평가하고자 충남 서산시 음암면에 소재한 성암저수지 유입하천 홍수부지에 test-bed를 설치하고 유입하천수를 대상으로 현장적용실험을 실시하였다. 수질항목별로 정화효율을 평가한 결과, SS 80.9%, COD 74.6%, T-N 76.8%, T-P 84.4%, DTN 93.8%, DTP 98.3%의 제거효율을 보였다. 수온에 따른 정화효율은 수온이 약 20˚C로 유지되어 수질정화효율에 미치는 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 수리학적 체류시간(HRT)은 SS 및 TP 처리효율과 유의한 상관성이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 체류시간을 5일로 했을 때 SS, TP 처리효율이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 유입수의 COD/TN에 따른 처리효율은 TN, TP 모두 C/N비가 낮을수록 증가하였고, 유입수의 COD/TP에 따른 처리효율도 C/P비가 낮을수록 TN, TP 모두 처리효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
