Abstract

This study was carried out in Osan river to quantitatively investigate behavior of attacked microbial community (AMC) for enhancing self-purification process of river. We gained the results such as follows throughout long-term monitoring at in-situ river. The biomass of AMC had higher in the riffle than the almost stagnant pool and they were more developed in the riffle with high current velocity (HCV). Although the fast flowing current affects negatively to growth of the AMC during the early phase when the community gets attached to the benthic substrate, it was observed that it affected positively to their growth during the intermediate and later phase after the community is adapted to the substrate. When turbulence due to external pressure (storm or discharge of dam and reservoir) occurs, the degree of separation depends upon the flowing strength and the type of the external pressure. Since the community is not all separated, recovery is rather fast. Therefore, this study found that the degree of reduction of the pollutant by self-purification of the stream is depended upon the riverbed shape and the AMC contributes to self-purification positively or negatively in river. Therefore, the riverbed shape must be constructed in accordance with the characteristics of water quality in stream. Furthermore, the technique of installing the water channel structure appropriate for each section must be developed to maximize self-purification ability.

본 연구는 국가하천인 오산천에서 수행되었으며, 하천의 자정기능을 증대시키기 위해 부착미생물군집을 중심으로 하천에서 거동을 정량적으로 조사하였다. 하천현장에서 장기간에 걸친 모니터링을 통해 다음과 같은 결과를 도출하였다. 부착미생물군집의 현존량은 소보다는 여울구간에서 더 높았으며, 여울구간에서도 흐름 유속이 상대적으로 빠른 급여울지역에서 더 많았다. 또한, 부착미생물군집이 하상기질에 부착하는 초기에는 빠른 유속이 부착미생물군집의 증식에 부정적으로 작용하지만, 부착미생물군집이 기질에 적응하여 증식하게 되는 중${\cdot}$후반기에는 유속이 오히려 증식을 돕는데 긍정적으로 작용하였다. 강우, 댐이나 저수지 방류와 같은 외부압력에 의해 교란이 발생하였을 때, 흐름의 세기와 외부압력의 형태에 따라 탈리되는 정도가 서로 다르고, 부착미생물군집 전량이 탈리되지 않기 때문에 회복속도는 비교적 빠른 것으로 관측되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해서 부착미생물군집은 하천의 자정작용에 부정적 혹은 긍정적으로 작용하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 하천의 자정작용을 향상시키기 위해서는 그 하천의 수질특성에 적합한 하상형태가 적용되어야 하며, 각 구간에 적합한 하도구조물을 설치하여 각 구간별 정화작용을 극대화 시킬 수 방법이 모색되어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
