Abstract

In order to identify long-term trends of water quality parameters in Lake Kyeongpo, Mann-Kendall test, Sen's slope estimator and linear regression were applied on data, with 15 parameters from three different sites and rainfall, monitored once in every two months from March to November during 1998~2013. Seasonal variation analysis only used Mann-Kendall test and Sen's slope estimator. Analysis result showed that salinity, transparency and nutrient variables (total phosphorus, dissolved inorganic phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen) were only parameters having statistically significant trend. In linear regression analysis, salinity (surface and bottom layer of all sites) and transparency (only at site 1), were figured out with statistically significant increasing trend, while in non-parametric statistical method, salinity and transparency in all sites (surface, middle, deep) were figured out with statistically significant increasing trend. Water quality parameters showing statistically significant decreasing trends were dissolved oxygen (surface layer of site 1 and bottom layer of sites 2 and 3), total phosphorus (sites 1 and 2), dissolved inorganic phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen in the linear regression analysis and, dissolved oxygen (bottom layer of all sites), total phosphorus, dissolved inorganic phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen in the non-parametric method. Seasonal trend analysis result showed that salinity, turbidity, transparency and suspended solids in spring, salinity, transparency, nitrate nitrogen and suspended solids in summer and temperature, salinity, transparency and suspended solids in fall were the variables depending on the season with increasing trends. In general, rainfall during the research period showed decreasing trend. The significant reduction trends of nutrients in Lake Kyeongpo were believed to be related to lagoon restoration and water management project run by Gangneung city and under-water wear removal, but further detailed studies are needed to know the exact causes.

경포호에서 수질 변수들의 장기적인 경향을 파악하기 위하여 1998년부터 2013년까지 매년 3월부터 11월까지 2개월에 1회씩 3개 지점에서 조사된 15가지 수질변수들과 강우량자료를 이용하였으며, Mann-Kendall test, Sen's slope estimator 및 linear regression을 적용 분석하였다. 계절 변화 분석에는 Mann-Kendall test 및 Sen's slope estimator만 이용하였다. 분석결과 염분, 투명도 및 영양염류 (총인, 용존무기인, 총질소, 질산성 질소, 암모니아성 질소)의 변수들만 통계학적으로 유의적인 경향을 보였다. 선형회귀 분석에서는 염분 (표층과 심층의 전 지점)과 투명도 (지점 1)만이 통계학적으로 유의적인 증가 경향을 나타냈으나, 비모수법에 의한 분석에서는 염분과 투명도 모두 전 지점에서 통계학적으로 유의적인 증가 경향을 보였다. 통계학적으로 유의적인 감소 경향을 보인 수질변수들은 선형회귀분석에서는 용존산소 (표층 지점 1, 심층 지점 2와 3), 총인(지점 1과 2), 용존무기인, 총질소, 질산성 질소 및 암모니아성 질소, 비모수법에 의한 분석에서는 용존산소 (심층 전지점), 총인, 용존무기인, 총질소, 질산성 질소 및 암모니아성 질소였다. 계절적인 경향을 분석한 결과 봄에는 염분, 탁도, 투명도 및 부유물질 (SS), 여름에는 염분, 투명도, 질산성 질소 및 부유물질, 가을에는 수온, 염분, 투명도 및 부유물질 만이 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 이들 변수들이 계절에 따라 다소 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 봄과 여름에 비해서 가을철에 Mann-Kendall test 및 Sen's Slope estimator에 의해 유의적인 경향을 나타낸 수질변수들이 많았다. 가장 강한 증가 경향을 보인 것은 염분이었으며 봄보다는 여름과 가을에 뚜렷하였다. 투명도도 염분과 유사한 특성을 보였다. 강우량은 조사기간 동안 전체적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 경포호에서 영양염류의 유의적인 감소경향은 그동안 강릉시에서 추진해온 석호 복원사업 및 해수유통 (수중 보철거) 등과 관련이 있는 것으로 판단되나 정확한 원인 규명을 위해서는 보다 면밀한 조사가 수반되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
