Abstract

This study evaluated the effects of water velocity, substrates, and phosphorus concentrations on the growth of filamentous periphytic algae (FPA) in the two types of artificial channel systems using treated wastewater. Controlled parameters included 5 ${\sim}$ 15 cm $s^{-1}$ for the water velocity; 10 and 20 mm wire meshes, natural fiber net, gravel and tile for the substrates: and 0.05 ${\sim}$ 1.0 mgP $L^{-1}$ for the P concentration. Algal growth rate of FPA was compared using both chi. a and dry weight change with time. Under the controlled water velocity range, the growth of FPA increased with the velocity, but the maximum growth rate was shown in the velocity of 10 cm $s^{-1}$. The substrate that showed the maximum growth of FPA differed between the artificial channel and indoor channel, due to the influence of suspended matters which caused the clogging of the meshed substrates. Under the controled range of P concentration, the growth rates of all three FPA species (Spirogyra turfosa, Oedogonium fovelatum, Rhizoclonium riparium) increased with the P increase, but they showed the differential growth rates among different P concentrations. The results of this study suggest that under the circumstance having an large amount of nutrients FPA develop the biomass rapidly and that even a little increase over the threshold velocity causes the detachment of filamentous periphytic algae. Thus, FPA dynamics in eutrophic streams, such as those receiving treated wastewater, seem to be sensitive to the water velocity. On the other hand, detached algal filaments could deteriorate water quality and ecosystem function in receiving streams or down-stream, and thus they need to be recognized as an important factor in water quality management in eutrophic streams.

본 연구는 영양염이 풍부한 하수처리수를 이용한 인공수로에서 사상성 부착조류의 성장에 미치는 요인들(유속. 부착기질, 인 농도)을 평가하였다. 실험은 하수처리수를 이용한 현장 인공수로와 실내 순환수로에서 부착조류의 성장실험을 수행하였고, 서로 다른 인 농도에서의 사상성 부착조류 종간의 성장률과 인 흡수율을 비교하였다. 조절된 유속조건(5 ${\sim}$ 15 cm $s^{-1}$)에서 사상성 부착조류의 순생산성은 유속이 빠를수록 높았으나 최대의 순생산성은 10 cm $s^{-1}$ 유속에서 나타났다. 현장 인공수로와 실내순환수로 실험 간에 사상성부착조류의 최대성장은 기질에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 부유물질이 충분히 제거되지 않았던 현장 인공수로 실험에서는 망목이 20 mm인 철망에서, 실내순환수로 실험에서 사상성 부착조류의 성장은 자연섬유망에서 높게 나타났다. 0.05 ${\sim}$ l.0 mg P $L^{-1}$로 조절된 인 농도범위에서 3종의 사상성 부착조류 성장률은 인 농도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였으나, 각 종들은 인 농도에서 따라 차별적인 성장을 나타냈다. 또한 영양염 농도가 매우 높은 환경에서 사상성 부착조류 생물량의 발달이 크면 클수록 높은 유속이 사상체의 탈리를 유발하여 조류의 성장을 감소시키는 제한요인으로 작용할 수 있음이 제시되었다. 탈리된 사상체는 연결된 하천, 저수지, 하류의 수질과 생태계를 악화시킬 수 있기 때문에 하천 수질관리에 있어 중요한 요인으로 고려한 필요성이 크다.
