Change in Water Quality on Upper Stream of Mankyeong River

만경강 상류 지역 수질의 시기별 변화

To get the basic information for the water quality improvement and control of water resource at Mankyeong river stream, the water quality in four site of main stream and three site of branch stream at the upper stream were investigated mainly from February to August in 2000. The water temperature was affected by depth, flow rate of the water, and air temperature, and ranged 6.4 to $30.8^{\circ}C$. The pH, DO and BOD values of the water was $5.9{\sim}9.7$, $4.6{\sim}14.50\;mg/L$, and $0.1{\sim}11.8\;mg/L$ range, respectively. The content of total nitrogen, $NO_3-N$ and $NH_4-N$ was $1.19{\sim}10.61\;mg/L$, $1.00{\sim}5.93\;mg/L$, and ND $(non\;detected){\sim}2.79$ mg/L, respectively. The concentration of total phosphorus was ND to 1.14 mg/L. The concentration of Cl ion was $3.5{\sim}196.4\;mg/L$. The content of Fe and Mn was $0.002{\sim}0.100\;mg/L$ and $ND{\sim}0.04\;mg/L$, respectively. The contents of heavy metal Cd, Cu, and Zn were $ND{\sim}0.03\;mg/L$, $ND{\sim}0.05\;mg/L$, and $0.001{\sim}0.17\;mg/L$, respectively. Pb was not detected in all the samples. The pH, total nitrogen contents, and total phosphorus content were frequently exceeded the water quality standard for agriculture. The degree of water pollution was very varied by the sampling place. The water quality was generally polluted in the dry season more than in rainy season. The highest level of water pollution observed in the area of Samyea Bridge among the 7 sites.

만경강 상류 유역의 수질 오염 실태를 조사한 결과 요약하면 다음과 같다. 3월부터 8월 사이의 수온은 $6.4{\sim}30.8^{\circ}C$로 나타나, 기온에 영향을 받았지만 수심과 유속에도 크게 영향을 받은 것으로 조사되었다. 수질의 pH는 $5.9{\sim}9.7$ 범위었으며 용존산소량 (DO)은 4.60, 생물학적 산소요구량 (BOD)은 $0.1{\sim}11.8\;mg/L$이었다. 수질중 질소원의 검출량은 전질소함량이 $1.19{\sim}10.61\;mg/L$, $NO_3-N$은 $1.0{\sim}5.93\;mg/L$, $NH_4-N$은 $ND{\sim}2.79\;mg/L$이었다. 전인의 함량은 $ND{\sim}1.14\;mg/L$, 염소이온함량은 $3.5{\sim}196.4\;mg/L$로 나타났다. Fe와 Mn의 검출량은 각각 $0.002{\sim}0.100\;mg/L$, $ND{\sim}0.04\;mg/L$이었다. Cd 검출량은 $ND{\sim}0.03\;mg/L$, Cu의 검출량은 $ND{\sim}0.05\;mg/L$, Zn은 $0.001{\sim}0.17\;mg/L$로 나타났으나, Pb은 전체시료에서 검출한계 이하이었다. 수질 분석 항목중 상당수의 시료가 기준치를 초과한 항목은 pH, T-N, T-P이었으며 전체적인 오염 상태는 갈수기인 6월의 경우가 8월보다 높았으며 갈수기의 경우에는 지역별로 물의 이동이 거의 없었기에 지역에 따라 수질의 오염상태가 현저히 달랐으며 지역별로는 오염정도가 가장 높았던 지역은 공장폐수가 많이 유입되는 삼례교유역의 수질로 나타났다.
