초록

본 연구에서는 2009~2010년 동안 한강 수계 인공댐 호소수 8개 지점 및 한강 본류 수계의 하천수 10개 지점의 총 18개 지점에서 인공댐 및 하류역 하천들에 대한 수질변이특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 이미 건설된 연속적 인공댐들이 상류로부터 하류까지 질소 (N), 인(P), 엽록소-a(CHL-a) 등의 화학적 수질 구배특성(Chemical gradient)에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 수질 변수간의 경험적 모델(Empirical model)을 적용하여 하절기 몬순강우 특성 및 연별 집중강우 영향을 분석하였다. 한강수계는 상류에서 하류로 갈수록 수질이 악화되는 경향을 보였고 특히, 점오염원에 의한 오염물질의 유입은 수질변이에 가장 크게 작용하였으며, 특히 하류부의 중랑천 유입수는 수질을 급격하게 악화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 하절기의 몬순강우는 하류역에서 총인(TP), 총질소(TN) 및 전기전도도(EC)값을 크게 낮추어 수질향상에 기여하였다. 5개의 인공댐들에서 총질소(TN), 총인(TP) 및 N:P 무게비에 대한 엽록소-a (CHL-a)의 경험적 모델식 평가에 따르면, 로그전환된 총인(TP)은 엽록소-a (CHL-a)농도 변이를 33.8% ($R^2$=0.338, p<0.001, 회귀식 기울기=0.710) 설명하였으나, 총질소 (TN) 변이는 21.4% 설명에 그쳤다 ($R^2$=0.214, p<0.001). 또한 N:P 무게비의 산정에 따르면, 본 인공호들에서는 모두 N:P 비가 29 이상으로 인 제한효과로 나타났으며, 총질소(TN)의 농도는 모든 수체에서 이미 $1000{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$을 상회하여 조류성장에 풍부한 것으로 나타나 엽록소-a (CHL-a)의 증감은 인(P)에 의해 조절되는 인 제한요인(P-limitation)으로 나타났다. 그러나 엽록소-a (CHLa)의 증감은 또한 개별적 인공댐에서 보여주는 바와 같이 부유물 증가에 의한 광투과도 저하, 수체류시간 감소에 의한 세척효과(Washing-out) 등도 부가적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로, 한강수계에서 하천 및 인공댐의 연속선 상에서 하천에 대한 댐의 이화학적 수질 특성에 미치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 유입 지천과 하천 유역의 점오염원으로부터의 방류수 유입은 이화학적 수질 변이에 크게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 향후 연속적 인공댐의 수체에서 대형 무척추동물 및 어류와 같은 생물학적 지표를 이용한 영향평가도 수질과 같은 측면에서 연구될 필요가 잇는 것으로 사료되었다.

The objective of this study was to determine temporal patterns and longitudinal gradients of water chemistry at eight artificial reservoirs and ten streams within the Han-River watershed along the main axis of the headwaters to the downstreams during 2009~2010. Also, we evaluated chemical relations and their variations among major trophic variables such as total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and chlorophyll-a (CHL-a) and determined intense summer monsoon and annual precipitation effects on algal growth using empirical regression model. Stream water quality of TN, TP, and other parameters degradated toward the downstreams, and especially was largely impacted by point-sources of wastewater disposal plants near Jungrang Stream. In contrast, summer river runoff and rainwater improved the stream water quality of TP, TN, and ionic contents, measured as conductivity (EC) in the downstream reach. Empirical linear regression models of log-transformed CHL-a against log-transformed TN, TP, and TN : TP mass ratios in five reservoirs indicated that the variation of TP accounted 33.8% ($R^2$=0.338, p<0.001, slope=0.710) in the variation of CHL and the variation of TN accounted only 21.4% ($R^2$=0.214, p<0.001) in the CHL-a. Overall, our study suggests that, primary productions, estimated as CHL-a, were more determined by ambient phosphorus loading rather than nitrogen in the lentic systems of artificial reservoirs, and the stream water quality as lotic ecosystems were more influenced by a point-source locations of tributary streams and intense seasonal rainfall rather than a presence of artificial dam reservoirs along the main axis of the watershed.
