하천과 호수 등 공공수역에서 측정되는 수질자료는 수자원 및 수생태계의 실태를 파악하기 위한 가장 중요한 요소이며, 측정망 운영으로 장기간 측정된 방대한 수질자료를 이용하여 신뢰성 있는 장기 경향 추세를 분석하는 것 또한 매우 중요하다. 장기간 생산된 수질자료에 대한 통계적 경향분석을 실시함으로써 정량적으로 수질자료를 분석할 수 있는데 우선 일정한 장소에서 동일한 측정기법을 통해 비교적 장기간 동안 일정간격으로 측정된 수질자료가 필요하다. 우리나라의 수질자료는 1990년도 이후부터 잘 축적되어 왔으므로 비로소 시간에 따른 수질변화 경향을 파악하는 것이 용이해졌다. 이러한 수질경향 분석을 통하여 수체 내부에서 일어나는 여러 가지 수질 변화 과정을 이해하고 적절한 수질관리 대책을 마련할 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 수질자료의 경향을 분석하기 위하여 비모수적 통계기법의 수질 경향을 분석하는데 많이 활용되는 맨-켄달 검정기법(Mann-Kendall Test)과 LOWESS(LOcally WEighted Scatter polt Smoother) 경향분석법을 적용하였다. 맨-켄달 검정기법은 선형 경향을 기본 가정으로하기 때문에 대상 기간 동안 경향성이 변할 경우에는 이를 적절히 반영할 수 없는 단점이 있으나 LOWESS 경향분석법은 이를 보완하기 위하여 특정회귀모델을 가정하지 않고 이동 직선에 대한 수질자료 점들을 통해 회귀모델을 적합 시키는 방법으로 기간 내 변화하는 경향성을 파악 할 수 있는 대상지점은 영산강본류 중심으로 지류지천을 포함하여 18개 지점에 대하여 분석하였으며, p-value값은 0.05를 기준으로 미만일 경우 경향성이 있고, 이상일 경우 경향성이 없는 것으로 분류하였으며, Trend는 경향성이 있다고 판단될 경우 S값이 양수이면 증가하는 경향으로, S값이 음수이면 감소하는 경향으로 판단하였다. 경향분석을 통해 영산강 18개 지점을 분석한 결과 영산강 상류와 중류, 지류에 대한 전체적인 경향을 판단할 수 있었다.

A new approach based on the Seasonal Mann-Kendall Trend Analysis, was presented in this paper, in order to estimate effect of water quality management policy in Kyoungan Stream which is one of major tributaries into the Lake Paldang. The estimation was undertaken by comparing water quality trend slopes before and after implementation of the policy. The monthly water quality data of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) measured from 1992 to 2005, were analyzed to determine the Kendall slopes before and after the Han River special policy implemented at 1998. The results indicated that the 1998 special policy would be effective in water quality improvement not at upstream but at downstream. This result agrees well with the previous water quality studies at Kyoungan stream. It was suggested that the presented approach could be an useful tool to estimate effect of a water quality management policy.

Long-term continuous data were used to investigate changes in air and water temperature and temperature hysteresis at Lake Paldang, the largest source of drinking water in South Korea. Based on the temperatures at Yangpyeong, near Lake Paldang, using a seasonal Mann-Kendall test, the rate of change of increase in temperature over the last 27 years (0.060℃/yr, 1993-2019) was higher than that of during 47 years (0.048℃/yr, 1973-2019). The air and water temperatures in Lake Paldang and its influent rivers had a high correlation (R > 0.9, p < 0.005); however, the water temperature increased at rate slower than the river water temperature, and the water temperature decreased slowly as the air temperature fell. The depth-averaged water temperature also changed more slowly than the surface water of the lake both when the air temperature was high and when it was low. This is likely because the lake has a larger area and a longer heat retention time than rivers, resulting in a greater hysteresis of water temperature at lake.

Spatial and temporal analysis of water quality was performed for eleven monitoring stations in Dongjin River watershed in order to determine the trends of monthly water quality. The monthly water quality data of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) during $1995{\sim}2004$, were analyzed utilizing Seasonal Mann-Kendall test, LOWESS and three-dimensional graphic approaches. The results indicated that BOD and TN concentrations had the downward trend, but TP showed the upward trend, especially in Gobucheon. This numerical and graphic analysis is the useful tool to analyze the long-term trend of water quality in a large river system.

The government has conducted a plan of total maximum daily loads(TMDL), which divides with unit watershed, for management of stable water quality target by setting the permitted total amount of the pollutant. In this study, BOD concentration trends over the last 10 years from 2005 to 2014 were analyzed in the Geumho river. Improvement effect of water quality throughout the implementation period of TMDL was evaluated using the seasonal Mann-Kendall test and a LOWESS(locally weighted scatter plot smoother) smooth. As a study result of the seasonal Mann-Kendall test and the LOWESS smooth, BOD concentration in the Geumho river appeared to have been reduced or held at a constant. As a result of quantitatively analysis for BOD concentration with exploratory data analysis(EDA), the mean and the median of BOD concentration appeared in the order of GH8 > GH7 > GH6 > GH5 > GH4 > GH3 > GH2 > GH1. The monthly average concentration of BOD appeared in the order of Apr > Mar > Feb >May > Jun > Jul > Jan > Aug > Sep > Dec > Nov > Oct. As a result of the outlier, its value was the most frequent in February, which is estimated 1.5 times more than July, and was smallest frequent in July. The outlier in terms of water quality management is necessary in order to establish a management plan for the contaminants in watershed.

Long-term trends (e.g. 1997~2010) of chlorophyll a and water quality properties of the Yeongsan River were analyzed by using water quality monitoring data collected by the water information system, ministry of environment. Nine monitoring stations were selected along the main channel of the river, and parameters of BOD, COD, TN, TP, conductivity, TSS and chlorophyll a were collected for surface water monthly through the monitoring system. Trends of water quality and chlorophyll a were analyzed by the Seasonal Mann-Kendall Test and LOWESS (Locally Weighted Scatter-plot Smoother). The results showed that the water quality parameters, including chlorophyll a, were improved in all stations except Station WC in the most-upper region, where water quality data for the determined parameters were increased, indicating a reduction in water quality. Based on the results from LOWESS analysis, chlorophyll a (algal blooms), BOD and COD recently began to increase after 2007 suggesting that an additional study on the cause of these increases in organic pollution, as well as a better management system for the region are required.
