Characteristics of Storm Runoff Loadings from a Paddy Field Area

강우시 광역논으로부터의 유출부하 특성

Concentration and discharge have been intensively monitored at the drainage canal in a paddy field area during storm-periods. Among 4 storm runoffs, the No. 2 and No. 3 runoff was in the fertilizer application period. The specific load-specific discharge equation L=aQ\ulcorner have different characteristics for the pollutants. The coefficient of b generally shows values of more than 1 for T-N, about 1 for COD\ulcorner, and less than 1 for T-P. For same specific discharge, No. 2 runoff shows higher specific load than other runoffs. For the coefficient of determination of the L-Q equation, COD\ulcorner is higher than T-N and T-P. The mean concentration of direct runoff, significantly depending on the storm events, is 0.6 to 8.3mg/ιfor T-N, 0.05 to 0.51 mg/ι for T-P, and 10.0 to 18.3 mg/ι for COD\ulcorner.
