Abstract

The Bangudae Petroglyphs, national treasure No. 285 is located within submerged upper districts of Sayeon dam supplying the main residential water in Ulsan. Of the many ways for the reservation of Petroglyphs located the altitude at 53~57 m, the plan that we take it out of the water lowering the water level from 60 m to 52 m has been examined mainly in case of controlling artificially the water level of the dam. In this paper, we examined expected problems from the loss of dam function and the change of water quality from water deterioration caused by the water level control of the Sayeon dam. Using the model of Vollenweider and CSTR (Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor), we analyzed the density change of BOD and COD, representative water quality index and the TP and TN, the main reason of algae growth. The result showed that the density of COD lowered a little but the density of TP and TN went up over 130% when controlling the water level from 60 m to 52 m. These changes cause a serious algae problem and if doing the water quality management as the density of TN and TP, the water quality would become worse. Water storage and supply residential water decreases, and the water quality becomes worse because of eutrophic state.

울산시의 주요 생활용수공급댐인 사연댐 상류 수몰지역 내에 국보 285호인 반구대 암각화가 위치하고 있다. 표고 53~57 m에 위치한 암각화 보존을 위한 여러 가지 방안 중, 사연댐 수위를 60 m에서 52 m로 낮추어 물 밖으로 끄집어내는 안이 주로 검토되어 왔다. 댐의 수위를 인위적으로 조절하는 경우 저수량 및 용수공급량 감소와 더불어 부영양화로 인해 수질이 나빠지게 된다. 본 연구에서는 사연댐 수위조절에 따른 수질악화로 댐의 기능상실과 수질변화로 인해 예상되는 여러 가지 문제점을 검토하였다. Vollenweider 모델과 CSTR (Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor) 모델을 이용하여 수위조절시 변화가 예측되는 대표적인 수질지표인 BOD 및 COD 그리고 조류성장의 주 원인이 되는 총인과 총질소의 농도변화를 분석하였다. 그 결과 사연댐의 수위를 60 m에서 52 m로 조절하는 경우, COD의 농도는 약간 낮아지지만 총질소와 총인은 약 130% 이상 농도가 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 변화는 심각한 조류문제를 일으킬 수 있으며, 사연댐의 수질관리를 영양염류의 농도를 대상으로 하는 경우 수질이 악화되는 것으로 나타났다.
