The purpose of this study was to evaluate the variation of water quality in the Nakdong River by the Four major river projects. For this purpose, the nearest upstream water quality monitoring stations were selected and water quality data such as BOD, COD, SS, TN, TP, and TOC were collected for the before Four major river project(from January 2003 to November 2008), during the project(from September 2008 to April 2012) and after the project(from May 2012 to September 2017). As a result, the concentration of DO, BOD, COD, TN, and TOC after the project tend to be higher than the before project period. On the other hand, the SS and T-P values decreased after the project. Spatial analysis of BOD, COD, and TOC, which have large changes in water quality factor, by water quality grade, showed a tendency that water quality grade after the project was worse than before the project.
