Abstract

This study predicted the effect of operation pattern of flood control dam on water quality. Flood control dam temporarily impound floodwaters and then release them under control to the river below the dam preventing the river ecosystem from the extreme flood. The Hydrological Simulation Program Fortran (HSPF) and the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code (EFDC) were adapted to predict the water quality before and after the dam construction in the proposed reservoir. The non-point pollutant delivery load from the river basin was estimated using the HSPF, and the EFDC was used to predict the water quality using the provided watershed boundary conditions from the HSPF. As a result of water quality simulation, it is predicted that the water quality will be improved due to the decrease of pollution source due to submergence after dam construction and temporary storage during rainfall. There would be no major water quality issues such as the eutrophication in the reservoir since the dam would impound the floodwater for a short time (2~3 days). In the environmental impact assessment stage of a planned dam, there may be some limitations to the exact simulation because the model can not be sufficiently calibrated. However, if the reliability of the model is improved through the acquisition of actual data in the future, it will be possible to examine the influence of the water environment according to various operating conditions in the environmental impact assessment of the new flood control dam.

본 연구는 홍수조절댐의 운영패턴 변화에 따른 수질환경에 미치는 영향을 분석한 것이다. 홍수조절댐은 홍수시 하천유량을 일시적으로 담수하여 홍수를 지체시키는 한편, 평상시에는 자연하천 흐름상태를 유지하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 댐 건설 후 담수시 수질변화는 유역모델(HSPF)과 댐 내 수리 수질변화모델(EFDC)을 연계하여 예측하였다. 강우시 유역에서 유출되는 비점오염원의 유출특성을 반영하기 위하여 HSPF 유역모델을 이용하여 분석하였으며, HSPF의 분석된 자료를 EFDC 모델의 입력 자료로 적용하였다. 수질모의 결과 댐 건설 후 수몰로 인한 오염원 감소와 강우시 일시적 저류로 인하여 수질이 향상되는 것으로 예측되었다. 또한 홍수조절댐의 특성상 담수되는 기간이 짧으므로(2~3일) 부영양화 등 수질 악영향은 거의 없는 것으로 분석되었다. 계획 중인 댐의 환경영향평가 단계에서는 모델의 충분한 보정을 할 수 없기 때문에 정확한 모의에 일부 한계가 있을 수 있다. 그러나 향후 실측자료 확보를 통하여 모델의 신뢰도를 향상시킨다면, 이를 활용하여 신규 홍수조절댐의 환경영향평가 시 다양한 운영조건에 따른 수환경의 영향을 검토할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
