Abstract

A sediment control dam is an artificial structure built to prolong sedimentation in the main dam by reducing the inflow of suspended solids. These dams can affect changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the water body by changing the river flow regime. The main DOM component for Yeongju Dam sediment control of the Naeseongcheon River was analyzed through 3D excitation-emission matrix (EEM) and parallel factor (PARAFAC) analyses. As a result, four humic-like components (C1~C3, C5), and three proteins, tryptophan-like components (C2, C6~C7) were detected. Among DOM components, humic-like components (autochthonous: C1, allochthonous: C2~C3) were found to be dominant during the sampling period. The total amount of DOM components and the composition ratio of each component did not show a difference for each depth according to the amount of available light (100%, 12%, and 1%). Throughout the study period, the allochthonous organic matter was continuously decomposing and converting into autochthonous organic matter; the DOM indices (fluorescence index, humification index, and freshness index) indicated the dominance of autochthonous organic matter in the river. Considering the relative abundance of cyanobacteria and that the number of bacteria cells and rotifers increased as autochthonous organic matter increased, it was suggested that the algal bloom and consequent activation of the microbial food web was affected by the composition of DOM in the water body. Research on DOM characteristics is important not only for water quality management but also for understanding the cycling of matter through microbial food web activity.

유사조절지는 하천 하류로 이동하는 모래 등을 조절하기 위해 설치된 인공 횡단구조물로, 하천의 유황을 변화시켜 수체 내 용존유기물질 변화에 영향을 줄 수 있다. 내성천 상류의 영주댐 유사조절지를 대상으로 3차원 형광 EEM (Excitation-Emission Matrix) 및 PARAFAC 분석(Parallel Factor Analysis) 기법을 통해 수중 용존유기물의 주요 성분을 분석한 결과, 4개의 휴믹 유사계열 성분(C1-C3, C5)과 3개의 단백질-트립토판 유사계열 성분(C2, C6-C7)이 검출되었으며 이 중 내·외부로부터 기원된 휴믹계물질(C1-C3)이 주를 이루는 것으로 나타났다. 유기물 성분의 총량과 성분별 조성비는 유광층 내 광량에 따른 수심별 차이를 보이지 않았다. 영주댐 유사조절지에서는 유입된 외부 유기물이 지속적으로 분해되어 내부 유기물로 전환되며 이로 인해 유기물 지수는 조사기간 중 내부 기원 유기물의 우점을 나타냈다. 수체 내 내부 기원 유기물의 증가는 식물플랑크톤 현존량, 특히 남조류의 상대풍부도 및 박테리아와 윤충류 현존량의 증가와 연동되는 경향을 보여 수체 내 부영양화로 인한 녹조 발생은 미생물 먹이망 활성화와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 수중 유기물 특성에 대한 연구는 물리·화학적 측면에서의 수질 관리뿐만 아니라 생물학적 환경 요인과의 관계 분석을 통해 동·식물플랑크톤을 포함한 미생물 먹이망을 통한 물질 순환 이해에도 중요한 것으로 사료된다.
