Abstract

The increase of impervious area in cities caused the unbalanced water cycle system and the accumulated various contaminants, which make troubles as introducing into watershed. In Korea, most of rainfall in a year precipitate in a summer season. This indicate that non-point source pollution control should be more important in summer and careful rainfall reuse strategy is necessary. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to monitor the characteristics of rainfall contaminants harvested in roofs and to develop the rainfall treatment system which are designed to fit well in a typical domestic household including rain garden. The rain garden consists of peatmoss, gravel and san to specially treat the initial rainfall contaminants. For this purpose, lab scale experiments with synthetic rainfall had been conducted to optimize the removal efficiency of TN, TP and CODcr. After lab scale experiments, field scale rainfall treatment system installed as a pilot scale in a field. This system has been monitored during June to July in 2015 in four time rainfall events as investigating the function of time, rainfall, and pollutant concentrations. As results, high loading of pollutants were introduced to the rainfall treatment system and its removal efficiency is increased as increase of pollutant concentrations. Since it is common that the mega-size of rainfall treatment system is not attractive in urban area, small scale rainfall treatment system is promising to treat the non-point source contaminants from cities. In addition, this small scale rainfall treatment system could have a potential to water resue system in islands, which usually suffer the shortage of water.

도시화에 따른 불투수면 증가로 인한 자연적 물순환 시스템 왜곡 현상과 더불어 불투수면에 축적된 다양한 오염물질은 강우 시 유역 및 하천으로 유입되어 다양한 오염을 일으킨다. 특히 대부분의 강우가 여름철에 집중되는 국내 계절적 특성은 집중호우에 따른 비점오염물질의 수계 과대 유입에 대한 우려를 높이고 있어, 이를 효과적으로 처리하고 재이용하기 위한 다양한 형태의 빗물처리 및 재이용 시설에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 강우시 지붕 유출수의 오염특성을 파악하고, 강우 초기 고농도 빗물 유출수를 효과적으로 처리하기 위한 소규모의 빗물정원 포함 형태의 빗물처리시설을 구성하였으며, 처리시설에 포함된 빗물정원에서의 오염물질 처리 효율을 높이기 위해 실험실 규모의 인공강우를 이용한 다양한 여재 구성 오염물질(TN, TP, CODcr) 제거율 실험을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 제거효율이 가장 높은 피트머스(Peatmoss)와 자갈, 모래를 구성된 빗물정원을 시범유역에 설치하여 오염물질 제거효율을 측정하였다. 2015년 6월 ~ 7월까지 4회의 실제 강우에 대한 강우사상별 시간별, 강우사상별, 농도별 오염물질 제거율을 분석 한 결과 강우강도가 높거나 강우량이 커질수록 고농도의 오염물질이 빗물처리시설 내 빗물정원으로 유입되었으며, 분석 결과 오염물질의 제거율은 저농도 일 때 보다 고농도 일 때 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대규모의 빗물처리시설을 설치하기 어려운 도심지에서, 위와 같은 소규모 시설을 효과적으로 활용 한다면, 도시 유역에서 강우시 발생하는 초기세척효과에 의한 비점오염 형태의 오염물질 유입을 차단해 오염물질 부하를 저감하는데 효과적으로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, 나아가 도서 지역내 용수공급을 위한 소규모 재이용 시설로도 활용 가치가 있을 것으로 판단된다.
