Abstract

In this study, we identified spatial and temporal patterns of reservoir trophic state within Keum-river watershed and analyzed correlations between chlorophyll-$a$ (Chl-$a$) and water quality parameters including conductivity and total phosphorus (TP). The reservoirs were separated into three trophic categories by the criteria of TP: 2 oligotrophic (9.3~9.4 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$), 15 mesotrophic (10.3~19.2 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$), and 14 eutrophic reservoirs (38.9~117.1 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$). Water quality parameters such as conductivity, TP, and Chl-$a$ reflected rainfall patterns, and the patters of annual mean TP were similar to the variation of annual mean Chl-$a$. Empirical models of Chl-$a$ against TP in reservoirs showed that statistical significance ($p$ <0.05) occurred in only some seasons and the trophic relations were modified by a washing-out effect or high non-algal light attenuation.

본 연구에서는 금강수계의 저수지들의 공간적 계절적 영양상태를 분류하였으며, Chl-$a$와 전기전도도와 총인 등의 수질 변수들간의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 금강수계의 각 저수지들은 총인 값에 따라 2개의 빈영양상태와 15개의 중영양상태, 14개의 부영양상태로 분류되었으며, 각각의 총인 값은 9.3~9.4 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, 10.3~19.2 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, 38.9~117.1 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$로 나타났다. 전기전도도, 총인, Chl-$a$는 강우특성을 반영하였으며, 연평균 총인 값은 연평균 Chl-$a$ 값과 유사한 변이 패턴을 보였다. 한편, 총인에 의한 Chl-$a$의 회귀식은 몇 개의 계절과 영양상태에서 유의성을 나타내었으며, 이는 계절적 강우에 의한 희석효과로 인한 결과로 사료되었다.
