Abstract

This study was conducted to present primary data on the change of the physical characteristics of reservoir sediments for understanding the sedimentation. The records of the annual summation of the precipitation of >50mm per day (AP50) were compared with changes of bulk density, organic matter, mean grain-size, and sand ratio in sediment cores sampled from three reservoirs without dredging record. Reservoir sediments, characterized by mineral soil, contained organic matters originated from the debris of terrestrial plants, and changes of organic matter were related to changes of grain-size flowing into reservoirs when sediments of fine sandy loam showed 10% of organic matter contents. Rapid changes of grain-size and sand ratio in the sediment cores were associated with the increase and decrease of precipitation, and fluctuation of water level and water flow in reservoirs might have influenced on the formation of sediments in reservoirs. Records of AP50 suggested that sediments could accumulate more than about 30 within the short period of 10 years. The accumulated sediments in a short time can reflect the effect of natural and anthropogenic events on the physical characteristics of sediments.

본 연구는 저수지의 퇴적작용을 이해하는데 필요한, 저수지퇴적토 코어의 물리적 특성 변화에 대한 기초자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. 준설작업이 시행된 적이 없는 세 곳의 저수지에서 채취한 퇴적토 코어에 대하여 깊이에 따른 가비중, 유기물량, 평균입자크기, 모래의 비율 변화를 연중 일강수량 50mm이상일 때의 강수량을 합산한 연강수량(AP50) 변화 자료와 비교, 분석하였다. 저수지의 퇴적토 코어는 무기질 토양으로서 유기물은 육상식물의 잔재물로부터 기원하였으며, 유기물 함량이 10% 이하인 미사질양토 퇴적토에서 유기물 함량의 변화는 저수지로 유입되는 토양입자크기의 변화와 관계가 있었다. 퇴적토 코어의 입자크기 및 모래 비율의 급격한 변동은 강수량의 증감과 관계가 있었으며, 저수지의 수위 변화와 유속이 저수지의 퇴적토 형성에 영향을 미칠 수도 있다. AP50의 연간 변동 자료를 기초로 추정하였을 때, 10년 이내의 짧은 기간 동안 약 30cm 이상의 퇴적토가 쌓일 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 저수지에서 짧은 시간 동안 쌓여서 형성된 퇴적토에도 유역에서 발생한 인위적 또는 자연적 사건들이 퇴적토의 물리적 특성들에 반영될 수 있음이 확인되었다.
