Abstract
A statistical analysis was performed to evaluate relationships among the pollutant concentrations in non-urban area. The data obtained from two subcatchments in Hwa-Ong watershed during 1999 was used for correlation and regression analyses. Strong correlations were observed among the SS, COD, and TP, while it was not significant with TN. The reason fer weak correlation with TN might be that TN was high in dry-days and runoff in wet-days could not increase enough to change it substantially like in other pollutants. The correlations were stronger for the data in wet-days than in dry-days, and it was influenced by watershed characteristics. While TP-COD showed linear relationship from the regression analysis, SS-TP and SS-COD shelved intrinsically linear relationship between log-transformed TP and COD data and non-transformed SS data. The TP-COD showed strong relationship for all the combinations of monitored data, which implies that these two constituent concentrations varied in a similar pattern. The regression equations reported in the paper might be used to estimate one pollutant concentration from the other in pollutant loading estimates, and its application could be expanded to other non-urban watersheds if their characteristics are not significantly different from the study area. In water quality management projects, rigorous monitoring and its thorough evaluation are recommended to develop more reliable relationships among the pollutant concentrations which could be used in other area.
본 연구에서는 비도시 유역에서 수질오염물질간의 상관관계를 알아보기 위하여 화옹간척지구의 상류 유역두 지점에서 1999견 강우시와 비강우시의 수질측정자료를 이용하여 오염물질간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 비강우시에는 오염물질간 뚜렷한 상관관계를 확인하기 어려웠으나, 강우시에는 SS-TP, SS-COD, TP-COD사이에 높은 상관관계를 나타내었으며 TN과 다른 오염물질사이에는 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 오염물질간의회귀분석결과는 SS-TP, SS-COD사이에는 반 대수함수의 경향을 나타내고 유역특성에 영향을 받았으며, TP-COD는 선형함수의 경향을 나타내고 유역특성에 영향을 적게 받았다. 본 연구에서 발표한 수질오염물질 사이의 회귀식들은 유역의 특성에 영향을 받겠으나 화옹지구는 물론, 자료가 부족한 다른 비도시 유역에도 기본계획 단계에서는 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
