Abstract

This study aims to identify the cause of the red-water occurrence (the phenomenon of water being red) that occurs at some points and sections of rivers in Yongin City. As a result of conducting a preliminary investigation, total three sites were selected as the investigation point as it was found that the red-water occurrence continued. As a result of the investigation, it is judged that the cause of the red-water in Yongin-city river is due to the soil color and iron content of the region. JPS, SBS, and JJS sites all showed that the color of soil is mainly consist of reddish brown and red-yellow. The average Fe concentration was 13.75 mg/L, 10.85 mg/L, and 1.31 mg/L, for each sites, and considering that the Fe concentration in general river water was less than 0.5 mg/L, it was confirmed that the concentration was quite high. At the JPS and JJS points, the red-water occurrence occurred mainly in stagnant places, which is believed to be strengthened by the reaction of organic and microorganisms. In the case of SBS, the wateris red, but as a result of observing the actual color, it is judged that the iron component deposited in the pipe causes an optical illusion with a deep red color. In addition, it is believed that the iron concentration can be reduced to the general river water concentration range by removing the particulate iron component through a decrease of more than 95% as a result of filtering with glass fiber filter with particulate iron. As a result of this study, it is necessary to manage the river to maintain the flow, and it is believed that the occurrence of red-water at the survey point can be alleviated through uptake action through planting and agglomeration precipitation and agglomeration filtration methods for particulate iron treatment.

본 연구는 용인시 내 하천 중 일부 지점 및 구간에서 발생하는 적수현상(물이 붉은 색을 띠는 현상)에 대한 원인 규명을 목적으로 하였다. 사전조사에서 적수현상이 타나나는 3개 지점을 조사지점으로 선정하였다. 조사결과 용인시 내 하천의 주요 적수 발생원인은 지역의 토색과 철 성분에 의한 것으로 판단된다. JPS, SBS, JJS 지점 모두 적갈색과 적황색이 주를 이루는 토색 특성을 보였다. Fe 농도 평균은 각각 1.31 mg/L, 10.85 mg/L, 13.75 mg/L로 나타났으며, 일반적인 하천수 중 Fe 농도가 0.5 mg/L 이하임을 고려했을 때 상당히 높은 농도임을 확인할 수 있었다. JPS, JJS 지점은 주로 정체된 곳에서 적수현상이 발생했으며, 이는 유기물 및 미생물 등이 반응하며 적수현상이 강화되는 것으로 판단된다. SBS의 경우 물이 적색을 띠고 있으나, 실제 물색을 관찰한 결과 관거에 침착된 철 성분으로 인해 진한 적색을 띠는 착시현상을 일으키는 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 대부분이 입자성 철 성분으로 유리섬유여지로 여과한 결과 95% 이상 감소하는 결과를 통해 입자성 철 성분 제거를 통해 일반적인 하천수 농도범위로 철 농도를 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구결과, 물이 정체되지 않고 유수의 흐름이 유지될 수 있도록 하도 관리가 필요하며, 식생 피복을 통한 uptake 작용과 입자상 철 처리를 위한 응집침전 및 응집여과 방법을 통해 조사지점의 적수 발생을 완화할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
