Abstract

The study was carried out to estimate runoff loads of heavy metals in the valley watershed at the middle of South Korea, during farming season. There were no other pollution sources except agricultural activity. From 27 April 2006 to 31 October 2007, water samples were collected using two methods. The first method was regular sampling wherein water samples were taken every two weeks; and the other method was through regular sampling when water were collected during each rainfall event. Results showed that heavy metals were found in the water from the regular samples, and were highest during May and June. It was presumed that this might have been contributed by farming activities. Heavy metal concentration of the irregular samples was lower than regular samples. The correlation coefficient between each heavy metal of the regular samples were as follows: Fe-Al>Cr-Al>Fe-Cr>Mn-Fe. The correlation coefficient of the irregular samples were the following: Fe-Al>Fe-Cu is positive; and Pb-Cu>Ni-Al is negative. Measured pollutant loads of heavy metals in the valley watershed were : 2.047 kg $day^{-1}$ of Al, 0.008 kg $day^{-1}$ of Cd, 0.034 kg $day^{-1}$ of Cr, 0.311 kg $day^{-1}$ of Cu, 0.601 kg $day^{-1}$ of Fe, and 0.282 kg $day^{-1}$ of Zn in 2006; while in 2007, the following were observed: 2.535 kg $day^{-1}$ of Al, 0.026 kg $day^{-1}$ of Cd, 0.055 kg $day^{-1}$ of Cu, 0.727 kg $day^{-1}$ of Fe, and 0.317 kg $day^{-1}$ of Zn. In the analysis of data gathered, the loading rates of effluents from the valley watershed during the rainy season were : 79.8% of Al, 69.1% of Cu, 82.5% of Fe, and 69.1% of Zn in 2006; while 69.9% of Al, 67.5% of Cu, 70.4% of Fe, and 67.5% of Zn in 2007.

본 연구는 곡간지 농촌유역의 소하천에서 유출되는 비점원오염물질 중 중금속의 시기별 수질변화 양상과 원단위 유출 부하량을 평가하고자 수행하였다. 중금속 항목간의 상관관계는 정기조사시 Fe-Al>Cr-Al>Fe-Cr>Mn-Fe 순으로 상관성이 높은 것으로 나타났고, 비정기조사시에는 Fe-Al>Fe-Cu>Cu-Al>Pb-Ni 순으로 높은 정상관을 Pb-Cu>Ni-Al 순으로 높은 부상관을 나타내었다. Fe, Cr 및 Cu가 다른 중금속 성분들과 상관성이 높은 항목으로 조사되었다. 중금속 성분별 원단위 유출 부하량을 산정한 결과, 2006년은 Al 2.047 kg $day^{-1}$, Cd 0.008 kg $day^{-1}$, Cr 0.034 kg $day^{-1}$, Cu 0.311 kg $day^{-1}$, Fe 0.601 kg $day^{-1}$, Mn 0.050 kg $day^{-1}$, Zn 0.282 kg $day^{-1}$로 조사되었으며, 2007년은 Al 2.535 kg $day^{-1}$, Cd 0.026 kg $day^{-1}$, Cr 0.055 kg $day^{-1}$, Cu 0.386 kg $day^{-1}$, Fe 0.727 kg $day^{-1}$, Mn 0.065 kg $day^{-1}$, Zn 0.317 kg $day^{-1}$로 2007년의 경우가 중금속 성분별로 2006년에 비해 높게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 이는 2006년에 비해 2007년의 경우 중금속 성분별로 저농도도 있었지만, 상대적으로 유출량이 커서 원단위 부하량이 높게 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 평상시(비강우기)와 강우시 중금속 성분별 원단위 유출 부하량의 경우 강우시기가 평상시에 비해 2006년의 경우 전체적으로 약 $2{\sim}4$배까지의 차이가 나는 것으로 조사되었으며, 2007년의 경우는 중금속 성분별로 보면, Al 2.3배, Cr 2.0배, Fe 2.3배, Pb 2.2배, Zn 2.0배 정도 차이가 나타나는 것으로 조사되었고, Al과 Fe가 가장 많은 차이를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 이런 중금속 성분들은 유기물이나 토양입자에 흡착되어 강우에 의해 하천에 유입되어 흐르다가 하천 또는 호소의 정체된 수역을 만났을 경우, 침전 또는 침적한 후 용탈이나 용출되어 중금속 오염을 초래하므로 적절한 관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
