Abstract

Riverine wetlands were reduced and damaged by dredging of rivers and constructing parks in wetlands by Four Rivers Project from 2008 to 2013. Therefore, replacement wetlands were constructed for the compensation of wetland loss by the government. However, It is not enough to manage replacement wetlands. In order to manage the wetlands efficiently, it is necessaty to assess the functions of the wetlands and to manage them according to their functions. Here we performed functional assessments for a replacement wetland called Gangcheon wetland using the modified HGM approach. Hydrological, biogeochemical, animal habitat, and plant habitat functions for the wetland were assessed. To assess the functions, we collected informations for modified HGM approach from the monitored hydrologic data, field survey, published reports and documents for before and after the project, and hydraulic & hydrologic modeling. As the results of the assessment, the hydrological function for the replacement wetland showed 65.5% of the reference wetland, biogeochemical function showed 66.6%, plant habitat function showed 75%, and animal habitat function showed 108.3%. Overall, Gangcheon wetland function after the project was reduced to 78.9% of the function before the project. The decrease in hydrological function is due to the decrease of subsurface storage of water. And the decrease in biogeochemical & pland habitat functions is due to the removal of sandbank around the Gangcheon wetland. To compensate for the reduced function, it is necessary to expand the wetland area and to plant the various vegetation. The modified HGM used in this study can take into account the degree of improvement for replacement wetlands, so it can be used to efficiently manage the replacement wetlands. Also when the wetland is newly constructed, it will be very useful to assess the change of function of the wetland over time.

2008년부터 2013년까지 우리나라는 4대강 살리기 사업을 진행하면서 하천준설 및 습지 내 유원지화로 기존의 습지가 축소되거나 훼손되었다. 이에 환경적 측면을 고려해 대체습지를 조성하였으나, 이에 대한 관리가 미흡한 상태이다. 습지의 효율적 관리를 위해서는 먼저 습지의 기능을 평가하고 각 기능에 맞는 관리가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 4대강 사업으로 조성된 강천습지를 대상으로 수정 HGM 방법을 이용하여 수문학적, 생지화학적, 동 식물서식처 기능을 평가하였다. 기능평가를 위한 변수를 산정하기 위해 4대강 사업 전과 사업 후의 강천습지에 대한 현황과 습지에 대한 자료 및 제원을 문헌조사 및 현장조사 그리고 수리 수문모델링을 통해 획득하였다. 기능평가 결과 4대강 사업 이후 수문학적 기능이 65.5%, 생지화학적 기능이 66.6%, 식물서식처 기능이 75%, 그리고 동물서식처 기능이 108.3%로 4대강 사업 이후 강천습지는 이전에 비해 78.9%의 기능을 수행하는 것으로 분석되었다. 수문학적 기능의 감소는 4대강 사업 이후 지표하 저류의 감소, 그리고 생지화학적 기능 및 식물서식처 기능의 감소는 4대강 사업으로 인해 강천습지 주변의 모래톱이 상당 면적 제거되었기 때문이다. 따라서, 감소한 기능을 보완하기 위해 습지 구역을 확장하고, 다양한 식물을 식재할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서 사용된 수정 HGM 방법은 기존의 습지로부터 대체습지에 대한 개선 정도를 고려할 수 있으므로 조성된 대체습지를 효율적으로 관리하는데 활용할 수 있다. 또한 습지를 새롭게 조성할 경우 시간에 따른 조성 습지의 기능 변화를 평가하기에 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.
