Abstract

In this research, a River Recreation Index Model (RRIM) was developed to provide sufficient information on the water quality of rivers to the public in order to secure safety of publics. River Recreation Index (RRI) is an integrated water quality information for recreation activities in rivers and expressed as the point from 0 to 100. The proposed RRIM consisted of two sub models: Fecal Coliform Model (FCM) and Water Quality Index Model (WQIM). FCM predicted Fecal Coliform Grade (FCG) using a logistic regression and WQIM synthesized water quality parameters of, DO, pH, turbidity and chlorophyll a into Water Quality Index (WQI). FCG and WQI were integrated into RRI by the integrating algorithm. The proposed model was applied to upstream of Gangjeong Weir in Nakdong River, and compared with Real Time Water Quality Index (RTWQI) which is the existing water quality information system for recreation use. The results show that calculated RRI reflected change of integrated water quality parameters well. Especially chlorophyll a showed Pearson correlation coefficient -0.85 with RRI. Also, RRIM produced more conservative index than RTWQI because RRI was calculated considering uncertainty of water quality criteria. Further, RRI showed especially low values when fecal coliform was predicted as low grade.

본 연구에서는 시민들이 하천에서 안전하고 쾌적하게 레크리에이션 활동을 할 수 있도록 종합 수질 정보를 제공하는 하천 레크리에이션 지수 산정 모델을 개발하였다. 하천 레크리에이션 지수 모델은 분변성 대장균 모델과 수질지수 모델을 통합하여 구성하였다. 분변성 대장균 모델에서는 로지스틱 회귀분석을 사용하여 분변성 대장균 등급을 예측하였고, 수질지수 모델에서는 DO, pH, 탁도, 클로로필 a를 퍼지 합성방법을 통해 종합화하여 수질 지수를 산정하였다. 최종 단계에서 분변성 대장균 등급과 수질 지수를 통합하여 하천 레크리에이션 지수를 산정할 수 있도록 모델을 개발하였다. 제안된 모델을 낙동강의 강정고령보 상류 지점에 적용한 결과, 하천 레크리에이션 지수는 개별 수질인자들의 변화를 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 하천 레크리에이션 지수와 클로로필 a의 상관계수가 -0.85로 나타나 클로로필 a가 하천 레크리에이션 지수에 가장 많은 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 모델에서 산정한 종합수질지수는 기존 수질 정보 제공 시스템인 실시간 수질지수보다 보수적인 결과를 보였는데, 이는 등급에 따라 현재의 수질 상태가 어떠한 상태에 속하는지를 계산하고 수질 기준의 불확실성을 적절하게 고려하기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 나아가서, 분변성 대장균 등급이 낮을 경우 하천 레크리에이션 지수가 분변성 대장균을 고려하지 않고 있는 실시간 수질지수보다 낮은 결과를 제시하는 것으로 나타났다.
