Abstract

The goal of this paper is to analysis the trend of stream quality about the upstream, middle stream and high areas of Nakdong River measurement points from January 1998 to December 2006. and to suggest some policy alternatives in Nakdong river. It used the three different monthly time series data such as BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), TN (Total Nitrogen) and TP(Total Phosphorus), of the three of Nakdong River measurement points. BOD, TN and TP data are analyzed with the LOWESS(Locally Weighted Scatter plot Smoother) nonparametric method.
