우포늪의 4개 습지를 대상으로 2005년 3월부터 2009년 12월까지 매월 영양염과 엽록소-$\alpha$ 농도를 모니터링 하였으며, 이를 토대로 수질 영양 단계를 평가하였다. 질산성질소와 암모니아성질소, 총질소 등 질소 계열 영양염은 선행 연구 결과와 비교시 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 총질소의 경우, 아직까지 수화발생 기준과 부영양 기준 농도를 상당히 초과하여 용존되어 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 인산염인과 총인 농도 또한 선행 연구와 비교 시 상당히 감소한 것으로 조사되었으나, 총인은 총질소와 마찬가지로 부영양 기준을 초과하여 용존되어 있었다. 질소 계열과 인 계열 영양염은 4개 습지 중 쪽지벌에서 가장 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 엽록소-$\alpha$의 평균 농도는 우포에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 목포에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 쪽지벌과 목포에서는 하계에 높게 나타났고, 우포와 사지포에서는 비하계 기간 동안 높게 나타났다. TRIX 분석을 통해 우포늪의 수질 영양 상태를 평가한 결과 4개 습지 모두 생산성이 높고 영양 단계가 높은 수질을 의미하는 poor water quality 상태로 조사되었다.

This study compares the abundance and community structure of zooplankton organisms from pelagic regions, and considers particularly the trophic levels vs. zooplankton abundances and biomass. Zooplankton samples were collected three times from May to November 2022, at 30 temperate lakes and reservoirs, which belong to four different river basins. The total zooplankton abundance, biomass and species index were showed considerable spatial variation. The spatial pattern of rotifer abundance was similar to that of total zooplankton abundance, while there were not showed similar patterns of zooplankton biomass (㎍ L^-1) in lentic ecosystems. The rotifer strongly dominated the zooplankton assemblage in smaller lentic system than that of larger. A total of 130 species of zooplankton were identified (83 rotifers, 34 cladocerans and 13 copepods). The total average of zooplankton abundance and biomass were 213.7±342.3 Ind. L^-1 (n=129) and 1382.8±1850.4 ㎍ L^-1, respectively. Total and average of zooplankton abundance were usually dominated by the rotifers (>56.9%), while those of zooplankton biomass were dominated by the cladocerans and copepods (>73.6%) in lentic ecosystems. Considering the Trophic State Index (TSI), the factors of zooplankton abundance and biomass were included in between meso- and eutrophic states(27 lakes, 90% of all). The mean abundance and biomass of zooplankton in eutrophic systems were higher than that of meso- and hypertrophic systems. From this result, we suggest that management strategy for the lentic ecosystem water environment has to be focused more on small-sized lakes and reservoirs, in terms of zooplankton assemblages.

본 연구에서는 우리나라의 주요한 철새도래지인 주남 저수지를 대상으로 1998년부터 2007년까지 10년간의 계절적 수질특성 분석 및 연별변이 특성, 강우분포에 따른 영양염류(N, P)의 부하특성 및 경험적 모델(Empirical model)을 이용한 부영양화 변수 간의 역동적 관계를 분석하였다. 수체내의 COD의 평균농도는 $7.8\;mg\;L^{-1}$이었고, TN 및 TP의 영양염류 농도는 각각 $1.4\;mg\;L^{-1}$, $83{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$로서 부영양-과영양 상태로 나타났다. 주남저수지의 월별 COD는 전기전도도(r=0.669, p<0.001)와 높은 상관관계를 보여 하절기 강우는 이온희석현상을 야기시키고 이는 수질향상에 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. TN 및 TP의 One-way ANOVA 분석 결과에 따르면, 철새 도래의 전 후에는 유의한 차이(F=$5.2{\sim}12.9$, p<0.05)를 보였다. 즉, 이는 철새 도래 전에 오히려 더 영영염류가 높은 것으로 나타나 철새도래에 의한 영양염류의 증가효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, $NO_{3^-}N$ 및 $NH_{3^-}$의 Oneway ANOVA 분석 결과는 철새 도래 전 후에 유의한 차이(F=$0.37{\sim}0.48$, p>0.05)가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 부영양화에 관계된 변수를 이용한 경험적 모델(Empirical model)의 1차 회귀분석 결과에 따르면, 조류생체량은(CHL)은 TN ($R^2$=0.143, p<0.001, n=119) 및 TP ($R^2$=0.192, p<0.001, n=119)와 통계적으로 유의한 상관성을 보여 CHL의 증감에 영양염류가 영향을 미치나 그 효과는 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 이를 위해 영양상태 지수 변이성(Trophic State Index Deviation, TSID) 테스트에 따르면, "TSI (CHL)-TSI (SD)" 및 "TSI (CHL)-TSI (TP)"값은 전체 관측치 중 70% 이상이 음수값으로 나타나 CHL은 영양염류에 의한 제한보다는 무기성 부유물(Inorganic solids)에 의한 광제한 효과로 나타났다.

Eutrophication processes of aquatic environment are strictly correlated with the concentration levels of nitrogen, phosphorous, organic matter and biological parameters such as phytoplankton and chlorophylla (Tremel, 1996; Burns et al., 1997; Young et al. 1999; Wei et al.,2000). Accordingly, the monitoring and evaluation of these factors will provide useful information about the health of aquatic ecosystem. However, the traditional types of auqatic chemistry analysis and ecological monitoring of phytoplankton are time-consuming, costly, and further resulting in secondary pollution due to the use of reagents. NIR (near-infrared) spectroscopy, as a rapid, non-destructive, little sample preparation and reagents-free technology (Hildrum et al., 1992), has been extensively applied to the characterization of food (Osborne and Fearn, 1988), pharmaceutical (Morisseau and Rhodes, 1995) and textile materials (Clove et al.,2000). Currently, NIR technology has been used indirectly in inferring lake water chemistry by two approaches, suspended (Malley et al., 1996) or seston (Dabakk et al., 1999), and sediments (Korsman et al., 1992; Malley et al., 1999). In addition, the evaluation of trophic state and the identification of the key factors contributed to the trophication are the key step to restore the damaged aquatic environment. Moreover, an understanding of the factors, which regulate the algal proliferation, is crucial to the successful management of aquatic ecosystem. In the paper, NIR technology will be used to study the environmental factors affecting the algal proliferation in combination with the trophic state index and diversity index. This novel developed system can be applied in monitoring and evaluating allopathic water environment and provide real time information services for the aquatic environment management.

This study was carried out to assay the relationships between empirical factors and water quality in 23 agricultural reservoirs. Based on the trophic state index (TSI) deviation analysis, phosphorus in type II and III was the primary limiting factor on algal growth. BOD, COD, TP and chl.a concentration in type III reservoirs showed higher concentration than those of other types, while SS and TN concentration was no noticeable difference among three types. Characteristics of type III reservoirs showed large reservoir surface and drainage area, large surface area to volume (SAV) ratio, small drainage area to reservoir area (DA/RA) ratio, relatively old age, large paddy field and upland field to drainage area ratio (Mean 17.4%) and high generation and discharge loads compared to other types of reservoirs. In type I and II reservoirs, trends of BOD, TN, TP concentration in water column, were similar to those of the discharge load of pollutants. Although type II reservoirs generally showed low phosphorus discharge loads compared to type I reservoirs, TP and chl.a concentration in water column was greater than that of type I. Characteristics of type II reservoirs showed relatively large SAV ratio and old age compared to type I reservoirs and was similar to those of type III including eutrophic reservoirs.

The object of this study was to determine long-term temporal and spatial patterns of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), suspended solids, and chlorophyll (Chl) in Chungju Reservoir, based on the dataset of 1992 - 2013, and then to develop the empirical models of nutrient-Chl for predicting the eutrophication of the reservoir. Concentrations of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) were largely affected by an intensity of Asian monsoon and the longitudinal structure of riverine (Rz), transition (Tz), and lacustrine zone (Lz). This system was nitrogen-rich system and phosphorus contents in the water were relatively low, implying a P-limiting system. Regression analysis for empirical model, however, showed that Chl had a weak linear relation with TP or TN, and this was mainly associated with turbid, and nutrient-rich inflows in the system. The weak relation was associated with non-algal light attenuation coefficients (Kna), which is inversely related water residence time. Thus, values of Chl had negative functional relation (R² = 0.25, p < 0.001) with nonalgal light attenuation. Thus, the low chlorophyll at a given TP indicated a light-limiting for phytoplankton growth and total suspended solids (TSS) was highly correlated (R² = 0.94, p < 0.001) with non-algal light attenuation. The relations of Trophic State Index (TSI) indicated that phosphorus limitation was weak [TSI (Chl) - TSI (TP) < 0; TSI (SD) - TSI (Chl) > 0] and the effects of zooplankton grazing were also minor [TSI (Chl) - TSI (TP) > 0; TSI (SD) - TSI (Chl) > 0].

This study was carried out to assess water quality and to introduce the management measures for water quality improvement with the collected data from 87 agricultural reservoirs in Han river watershed. According to the water quality criteria (WQC) for lake based on the COD, TP, TN and chl.a concentration, 18, 16, 4 and 19 of 87 reservoirs exceed class IV, respectively. Based on the trophic state index (TSI) with chl.a concentration, 51 of selected reservoirs appeared to be eutrophic. Phosphorus was limiting nutrient on algal growth in 58 reservoirs. TP, chl.a and COD concentration in 23 of 49 agricultural reservoirs with chl.a concentration ${\geq}25{\mu}g/L$ and eutrophic exceed class IV by WQC. Also, the mean depth in 21 of 23 reservoirs was below 5m. Our results suggest that advanced wastewater treatment and crop land control in watershed of reservoirs with TP concentration ${\geq}0.1mg/L$ would be a effective tool to improve water quality. Dredging would to be effective measure in reservoirs with mean depth < 5 m and relatively old age. In reservoirs with chl.a concentration ${\geq}50{\mu}g/L$, application of technique such dissolved air flotation (DAF) and P inactivation be effective to improve water quality by removing particulate matters in water column. The management measure to control inflow such as sedimentation basin, Pre-dam and diversion would to be application in reservoirs with shallow depth, while large watershed and surface area.

BACKGROUND: Recently, the inflow of nonpoint pollutants into rivers caused by rapid urban and industrialization promotes the proliferation of algae, which causes eutrophication of rivers. This study was conducted to evaluate the seasonal variation of water quality characteristics and cryptomonads growth in the Oncheon River. METHODS AND RESULTS: The water quality and distribution characteristics of cryptomonads in the Oncheon River were investigated monthly for 12 months from January 2021. The cell number of cryptomonads was intensively developed in January-April, and it decreased sharply in the summer with heavy rainfall. In particular, cryptomonads moved to the downstream side of the river depending on the time, and as a result, significant differences were shown for each investigation point. The Korean trophic state index (Tsi_KO) in Oncheon River was classified as eutrophy all year round, indicating that cryptomonads can grow year-round. Distribution characteristics of cryptomonads in Oncheon River showed high correlations with DO (r=0.678), BOD (r=0.826) and chlorophyll-a (r=0.613) in water. CONCLUSION(S): In order to reduce cryptomonads in the Oncheon River, it is judged that a complex countermeasure considering the residence time, insolation and precipitation along with water quality factors is required.

체계적인 관리가 이루어지지 않고 있는 중소형 저수지의 향후 적극적 활용을 위한 예비 연구로 A시의 중소형 저수지 33개에 대한 현장조사 및 수질자료 분석이 수행되었다. 여름철(6월)과 가을/겨울철(11월) 2차례에 걸쳐 지자체 관리의 21개 저수지에 대한 수질 분석이 이루어졌으며, 한국농어촌공사 관리의 12개 저수지의 수질자료를 확보하여 비교 분석하였다. 2차례의 수질 분석 수행 결과, 일부 중소형 저수지의 수질이 현행 이용목적인 농업용수 공급이 가능한 "약간나쁨(IV)" 수준에 미치지 못하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 저수용량이 감소하는 가을/겨울철에 수질악화가 대부분의 저수지에서 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 이로 인해 한국형 부영양화지수에 의한 부영양화 상태가 대부분의 저수지에서 "부영양" 혹은 "과영양" 상태인 것으로 확인되었다. 도심지와의 접근성이 높은 일부 저수지의 퇴적토 분석 결과 오염도는 심각하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 수질과의 연관성은 높지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 중소형 저수지에 대한 대체 수자원, 관광사업, 내수면어업, 신재생에너지 생산, 홍수저감을 위한 저류지 등으로의 활용에 대한 기초자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 예상되었다.
