Abstract

Flow distribution of water and sedimentation rate were investigated to understand the hydrodynamics and settling characteristics of particulate materials in a constructed wetland for treatment of non-point sources pollutants, the Sihwa constructed wetland, Korea. The Sihwa constructed wetland is divided into three sub-wetlands(the Banwol, the Donghwa and the Samhwa wetlands) to treat the polluted water from three streams, the Banwol stream, the Donghwa stream and the Samhwa stream. From the results of water flow experiment using dye(Rhodamine 50WT Red), it was found that the water flow in the wetland was prevailing at the waterway and open water. Dye was spread slowly in the closed water area planted by plants. The mean hydraulic retention time(HRT) at the upper area of high wetland and lower wetland of Banwol, was found to be 34.1 hr at the upper area and 74.6 hr at the lower area respectively, totaling approximately 108.7 hr(4.5 days). The sedimentation rate was higher at lower area(sites of B, C and D) of the wetland than upper area(site of A which is settling zone). Based on the forecast for 20 years as to the amount of sediment that can be deposited in the open water in the future, the sediment depth of each area would be like this: A: 6.3 cm, B: 8.3 cm, C: 7.0 cm, D: 9.5 cm. The contents of organic materials in the sediment deposited within the sediment trap were found to be higher overly in the first investigation period which had much rainfall, and B, C and D areas were found to have an increased COD accumulation than A area. Also, nitrogen and phosphorus were found to increase in the down-stream of the wetland. The results of this study suggest that a sustainable research and management for the characteristics of water flow pattern and sedimentation changeable as time passes is needs to maintain or improve the efficiency of water treatment in the constructed wetland.

시화호 인공습지의 수리동력학적 특성과 입자성 물질의 침전특성을 살펴보기위해 물흐름조사 및 입자성 물질의 퇴적율 측정을 실시하였다. 시화호 인공습지는 크게 3개의 습지(반월, 동화, 삼화)로 나누어 볼 수 있는데 이는 각각의 하천에서 유입되는 비점오염물질의 처리를 위해 조성되었다. 조사지역은 반월천 고습지를 대표지역으로 선정 후 실시하였다. Rhodamine 50WT Red를 사용하여 물흐름 실험을 수행한 결과 자유수면(open water) 지역과 수로를 통한 물흐름이 주를 이루고 있었으며 식물이 식재되어 있는 폐쇄수역(closed water)에서의 물흐름이 지체되는 것으로 나타났다. 반월습지의 상부 및 하부 습지의 평균 수리학적체류시간(hydraulic retention time, HRT)은 각각 34.1 hr, 74.6 h,로 나타났으며 총 체류시간은 108.7 hr(4.5 day)이었다. 반면에, 침전율은 침전지(A지역)보다는 하류부의 open water지역(B, C, D지역)에서 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 향후 open water 내에 축적 가능한 sediment 양을 추정한 결과 20년 후 각 지역의 침전 깊이는 A: 6.3 cm, B: 8.3 cm, C: 7.0 cm, D: 9.5 cm로 나타났다. sediment trap 내의 유기물 축적량은 강우의 영향으로 1차 조사시기에 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며 A 지역보다 B, C, D 지역에서의 축적량이 높은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 질소, 인 성분들은 하부습지에서 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 인공습지의 효율적 관리를 위해서는 물흐름 및 입자성 물질들의 퇴적 특성에 대해 시간 변화에 따른 지속적인 조사 및 관리가 요구되어 진다.
