Abstract

Fresh water that can be used by a person of the total amount of water on the planet is increased because it is less than 0.01 % except underground water, ice and snow, etc. water management response need. In order to protect and efficiently utilize water resources, major countries are conducting water footprint studies that can quantitatively estimate the amount of water put into the operating phase of the resource harvesting phase, mainly agriculture. Korea has also recently developed a number of policies in order to cope with water shortages, and in the construction industry, as well as the need for basic research to support it has been emphasized. This study was constructed DB up to the raw material harvesting step, the transport step, the production stage in order to estimate the water consumption of resources to be put into the work process to target the drainage of the road. Water usage estimation method was utilized the method presented in the Water Footprint Manual and the environmental score card certification guide, unit water usage each drainage main method was calculated after estimating the water footprint considering the water character factor, indirect water and the direct water, the water consumption factor of material input to each process. Brown asphalt, rebar, remicon of the drainage material as a result of the water footprint calculation accounted for 97 % of the total. Drainage method is a culvert, a side channel, a culvert wing wall, reinforced concrete open channel accounted for 92.2 % of the total. Drainage total step-by-step calculated water consumption and water footprint was found in order of raw material harvesting step, transport stage, production stage. Water footprint each drainage method or total drainage material calculated in this study can be used as a base data in the agricultural and construction sectors. In order to increase the reliability of the analysis, it is believed that further overseas databases will be needed for continuous review and research.

지구상 물의 총량 중 사람이 사용할 수 있는 담수는 지하수, 빙설 등을 제외하면 0.01 % 이하이기 때문에 물 관리 대응 필요성이 커지고 있다. 주요 국가들은 수자원을 보호하고 효율적으로 활용하기 위해서 자원의 채취단계에서 운영단계에 투입되는 물의 양을 정량적으로 추정할 수 있는 물 발자국 연구를 주로 농업 중심으로 진행하고 있다. 우리나라도 최근 물 부족에 대응하기 위하여 여러 정책을 진행 중에 있으며 건설산업에서도 정책개발은 물론 이를 뒷받침할 수 있는 기초연구의 필요성이 강조되고 있다. 본 연구는 도로의 배수공을 대상으로 공종에 투입되는 자원의 물 소모량을 산정하기 위하여 원료채취단계, 운반단계, 제작단계까지 분석 및 DB를 구축하였다. 물 사용량을 추정방법은 Water Footprint Manual과 환경성적표지 인증안내서에서 제시한 방법을 활용하였으며, 각 공정에 투입된 자재의 물소모계수, 취수원 수역에 따른 물 특성화 인자, 간접수 및 직접수를 고려한 물 발자국을 산정 후 배수공 주요 공법별 원단위 물 사용량을 산정하였다. 물발자국 산정 결과 배수공 자재 중 브라운 아스팔트, 철근, 레미콘이 전체 97 %를 차지하였다. 배수공법별은 암거공, 측구공, 암거날개벽, 철근콘크리트 개거가 전체 92.2 %를 차지하였다. 배수공 전체 단계별 산정된 물 소모량과 물발자국은 원료 채취단계, 운반단계, 제작단계 순으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 산정된 배수공 전체 자재나 배수공법별의 물발자국은 농업 분야와 건설업 분야 기초 자료로써 활용될 수 있다. 분석의 신뢰도를 높이기 위해서는 추후 국외의 데이터베이스를 더 찾아서 지속적인 검토 및 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
