Abstract

The Lake Sihwa watershed includes industrial, urban, and rural areas simultaneously. In this study, we analyzed the characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in spatial-temporal runoff patterns at representative sites having different land use in the watershed of Lake Sihwa. The result of synchronous and 3D-EEMs(3-Dimensional Excitation Emission Matrix Spectroscopy) analysis in 4TG (industrial area), fluorescence distribution and variation clearly appeared in the Fulvic-like fluorescence (FLF) and Humic-like fluorescence (HLF) regions along with the Protein-like fluorescence (PLF) region. A characteristic that Peak A (HLF) region fluorescence intensity did not decrease and the HLF region of fluorescence intensity and spatial-temporal changes clearly appeared during rainfall in AS (urban area). The results of fluorescence analysis in MS did not show great changes in PLF and FLF while showing that fluorescence intensity changes over time in the Terrestrial-like fluorescence (THLF) region increased greatly. In conclusion, our results showed significant differences in the runoff characteristics of DOM particularly in industrial, urban and rural area, and these differences should be considered for the efficient controlling of DOM in the watershed.

본 연구는 공단, 도심 및 농촌유역의 서로 다른 유역특성을 갖고 있는 시화호 유역을 대상으로 형광분석을 통해 각 소유역 유입하천에서의 오염물질 유출특성을 분석하였다. 4TG는 강우시 시공간적 오염물질 유출특성 분석 결과, 초기세척효과가 강하게 나타나 강우초기 단백질 및 휴믹계열의 고농도의 오염물질이 빠르게 유출된 후, 다시 유량증가에 따른 희석효과로 인해 오염물질 유출농도가 급격하게 감소하는 유출특성을 나타내고 있다. AS는 다른 도심유역 하천들이 갖고 있는 강우시 오염물질 유출 특성과는 다른 양상을 나타내고 있다. 토지이용특성상 도심유역 특성을 나타내고 있지만, 신도시 조성시 하천주변에 공원과 수변완충지역이 조성되어 있어 강우시 오염물질 유출속도를 저감시키는 역할을 하고, 단백질계열의 오염물질과 함께 휴믹계열의 오염물질도 함께 유출되는 유출특성을 나타내고 있다. MS는 입자성 오염물질과 함께 단백질계열의 오염물질 유입 현상이 뚜렷하게 나타나고 있어 단백질계열의 오염물질 저감방안이 함께 수립되어야 한다. 농촌유역 하천은 초기세척효과가 나타나지 않고, 후기유출현상이 강하기 때문에 충분한 사전 조사를 통해 오염물질이 최고농도에 도달하는 시점을 대상으로 선택적인 유역관리가 필요하다.
