Abstract

The total maximum daily load (TMDL) implemented in Korea mainly manages the mainstream considering a single common pollutant and river discharge, and the river system is divided into unit watersheds. Changes in the water quality of managed rivers owing to the water quality management in tributaries and unit watersheds are not considered when implementing the TMDL. In addition, it is difficult to consider the difference in the load of pollutants generated in the tributary depending on the conditions of the water quality change in each unit watershed, even if the target water quality was maintained in the managed water system. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce the total maximum load management at tributaries to manage the pollution load of tributaries with a high degree of pollution. In this study, the HSPF model, a watershed runoff model, was applied to the target areas consisting of 53 sub-watersheds to analyze the effect of water quality changes the in tributaries on the mainstream. Sub-watersheds were selected from the three major areas of the Paldang water system, including the drainage basins of the downstream of the South Han-River, Gyeongan stream, and North Han-River. As a result, BOD ranged from 0.17 mg/L to 4.30 mg/L, and was generally high in tributaries and decreased in the downstream watershed. TP ranged from 0.02 mg/L - 0.22 mg/L, and the watersheds that had a large impact on urbanization and livestock industry were high, and the North Han-River basin was generally low. In addition, a pollution source reduction scenario was selected to analyze the change in water quality by the amount of pollution load discharged at each unit watershed. The reduction rate of BOD and TP according to the scenario changes was simulated higher in the watershed of the downstream of the North Han-River and downstream and midstream of the Gyeongan stream. It was found that the benefits of water quality reduction from each sub-watershed efforts to improve water quality are greatest in the middle and downstream of each main stream, and it is judged that it can be served as basic data for the management of total tributaries.

우리나라에서 시행중인 수질오염총량관리제도는 수계 내 모든 유역을 단위유역으로 구분하고 단일 공통 오염물질과 유량조건을 고려하여 본류 중심으로 관리하고 있다. 이러한 수질오염총량관리제도는 지역 및 단위유역의 특성 변화를 반영하지 못하며 관리수계 내 목표수질을 유지한다고 하더라도 각 단위유역에서의 수질변화 여건에 따라서 지류에서 발생되는 오염물질의 부하량 변화를 직접적으로 반영하기 어려운 실정이다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 오염도가 높은 지류의 총량관리를 위한 지류총량제도의 추가 도입이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지류에서의 수질변화 양상이 본류에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위해서 팔당수계내 3개의 주요 중권역인 남한강 하류, 경안천, 북한강 유역을 대상으로 53개의 소유역으로 구축하여 유역유출모형인 HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran) 모형을 적용하였다. 모의결과 BOD는 0.17 mg/L - 4.30 mg/L의 범위로 전반적으로 지류에서 높게 생성되어 하류 유역으로 갈수록 낮아졌다. T-P는 0.02 mg/L - 0.22 mg/L의 범위로 도시화 및 축산업 등의 영향이 큰 유역은 높게 나타나고 북한강 유역은 전반적으로 낮게 나타났다. 또한, 각 단위 유역별로 배출되는 오염부하량 변화에 따른 수질 변화를 분석하기 위해 오염원 저감 시나리오를 선정하였다. 시나리오별 모의결과 BOD와 T-P의 저감률은 북한강 하류유역과 경안천 중·하류 유역에서 크게 나타났다. 이는 각 소유역별 수질 개선의 노력에 따른 수질 저감의 혜택은 각 본류 하천의 중·하류에서 가장 크게 받는 것으로 나타났으며 지류총량관리를 위한 기초자료가 될 수 있다고 판단된다.
