Abstract

A study on stream-groundwater exchange was performed using head and temperature data of stream water, streambed, and groundwater. Groundwater level and temperature were obtained from multi-depth monitoring wells in small-scale watershed. During the summer and winter season, time series of temperature data at streambed and groundwater were monitored for six months. In the winter time, we measured the temperature gradient between stream water and streambed. The observed data showed three typical types of temperature characteristics. First, the temperature of streambed was lower than that of stream water; second, the temperature of streambed and stream water was similar; and the last, the temperature of streambed was higher than that of stream water. The interconnections between the stream and the streambed were not homogeneously distributed due to weakly developed sediments and heterogeneous bedrock exposed as bed of the stream. The temperature data may be used in formal solutions of the inverse problems to estimate groundwater flow and hydraulic conductivity.

본 연구에서는 예산군의 소유역에서 하천수, 하상, 지하수의 수위 및 온도자료를 이용하여 혼합대(hyporheic zone)에서 하천수와 지하수와의 연계연구가 수행되었다. 소유역의 상류, 중류, 하류에서 심도별 지하수위 및 온도 변화를 살펴보았으며, 상 하류 지역에서 하절기와 동절기에 하상과 지하수의 온도를 장기간 모니터링하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 동절기에는 하천수와 하상 상호간의 온도구배를 모니터링하고 그 특성에 따라 세 가지로 구분하였다. 하상 온도가 더 낮은 경우, 하상과 하천수의 온도가 비슷한 경우, 그리고 하상 온도가 더 높은 경우이다. 연구지역의 하상과 하천의 연계 상태는 하상의 분포에 대하여 균질한 연결성을 가지고 있지 않으며, 이는 하상 퇴적물이 두텁게 형성되어 있지 않고 불균질한 균열암반이 하상으로 노출되어 있기 때문이다. 지하수-하천수 연계 연구를 통해 획득된 온도 자료는 지하수 유동 모델링시 수위자료와 함께 모델보정(model calibration)에 유용하게 이용될 수 있다.
