Abstract

In order to understand the spatiotemporal variation of water quality, an investigation on variation characteristics of water quality was conducted at 13 stations in Yongil bay from 1990 to 1998. The salinity in summer was relatively lower than that in other seasons and it have increased from inner bay to outside of the bay gradually. However, nitrate concentration in summer was relatively higher than that in other seasons, and it was the highest, up to $65.40\%$, among dissolved inorganic nitrogens, Nitrate concentration indicates the possibility of affecting by freshwater discharges to Yongil bay. Correlation analysis showed that salinity had a significantly good correlation with nitrate. This result suggested that inflow of river had an influence on increase of nitrate. The result of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) indicated that nitrate was major factor to influence the water quality in Yongil Bay.

영일만 수질의 시공간적인 변동상황을 파악하기 위하여 영일만의 13개 조사정점의 1990년부터 1998년까지 9개년간 각 계절별 수질조사결과를 바탕으로 수질의 시 $\cdot$공간적 변동상황을 조사하였다. 염분은 강수량이 많은 8월에 가장 낮은 값을 보였고, 정점별로는 하천수가 유출되는 만내측인 St-2에서부터 만외측으로 갈수록 점차 염분의 양이 높아졌다. 용존무기질소 평균농도 중에서 질산질소가 $65.04\%$로 가장 높은 비율을 차지했으며, 또한 염분이 낮고 강수량이 많은 8월에 가장 높은 값을 보였으며, 만내측에서 외측으로 갈수록 그 양이 감소되었다. 염분과 영양염간의 상관을 종합해서 보면 모든 정점에서 질산질소와 유의적 음의 상관관계를 보이는 것으로 보아 형산강, 냉천등의 하천수의 유입이 질산질소 증가에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다 따라서 영일만의 주오염원은 하천수 유입에 의한 질산질소인 것으로 생각된다. 주성분분석결과를 통해 영일만의 시$\cdot$공간적인 변화를 일으키는 주된 요인은 하천수 유입에 따른 질산질소의 증가로 영일만의 계속되는 적조를 막고, 만내의 수질개선을 위해서는 하천으로부터 질산질소의 유입량을 조절하는 것이 중요함을 알 수 있었다.
