Abstract
This study was conducted to analyze the spatial and temporal characteristics of stream water quality and to charify the management of watershed environment from the standpoint of hydrological geography. To achieve the purpose of the study, the Wangsook River was chosen. As the result of this study, the specific conclusions were drawn. 1. In general, WT(water temperature) of the downstream is higher than that of the upstream. The value of winter WT measured in densely populated area is higher than that measured under the natural conditions. The seasonal variation of WT at upstream sites is greater than that of downstream. 2. Rhe water quality of main channel is dependent on that of tributaries. Especially, the values of pH, EC, TDS in main channel depend upon those of tributaries. Among the tributaries of the Wangsook river, the Jingun-chon and Yongam-chon have mostly influence on the water quality of the main channel. 3. Generally, the values of COD measured in the Wangsook River are over the 5th Grade considering from a point of water quality standards of inland lake. However, BOD, phosphorus and nitrogen concentrations have to be measured to clear the water quality conditions of the river. 4. The regional people who live in the catchment of Wangsook river have different perception about the water pollution of the river. The regional people lacks in the understanding of the Wangsook river cause a bad influence upon the hydrological management of watershed environment.
