Abstract

The mean residence time is the time scale for intermediate status between infiltration and runoff and one of the critical factors for understanding runoff response, erosion, and eco-hydrological processes. This research explored a direct method to estimate the mean residence time over existing indirect, isotope tracer method. Spatial and temporal distributions of soil moisture have been monitored for a year with 2-hours monitoring interval. Mean residence time for soil moisture showed apparent increasing tendency to deeper depth and decreasing trend during summer periods, which had intensive rainfall events. The mean residence times obtained from this research showed similar trend to those obtained from other isotope methods, which means the direct method can be an efficient approach to obtain the mean residence time.

유역에서 물의 평균체류시간은 강우에 의해 토양에 강우 등으로 인해 수분이 침투하여 유출되기까지 소요되는 평균 시간이며, 침식, 식생분포, 유출기작 등을 지배하는 수문학적 과정을 이해하는데 중요한 요소이다. 물의 평균체류 시간을 산정하는 대표적인 방법인 방사성 동위원소에 의한 추적자법은 계산과정이 복잡하고 많은 비용이 들면서도 간접적인 방법임으로, 본 연구에서는 토양수분의 거동을 관측해 산지사면에서 물의 평균체류시간을 산정하는 보다 직접적인 방법을 고안하였다. 토양수분의 측정을 위해 광릉 국립수목원에 위치한 산림 소유역에 토양 수분 측정장비인 TDR을 설치하고 1년 동안 2시간 간격으로 깊이별 측정을 수행하였다. 토양수분을 이용해 산정된 물의 체류시간은 대상유역의 불투수 지하면에 가까워질수록 상승하는 경향을 보였고 강우가 집중된 여름에 가장 짧은 것으로 나타났다. 실험에서 얻어진 평균체류시간은 기존의 화학적 방법을 통해 산정된 값과 유사한 경향을 보였는데 이러한 결과들은 토양수분의 측정과 분석을 통한 방법이 방사성 동위원소를 이용한 방법보다 더욱 효율성 있는 측정을 할 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다.
