Abstract

In Korea, the rainfall is concentrated in summer under the influence of monsoon climate. Thus, even a small climate change can be significant problems in water resources. As a result, a lot of attention has been focused on climate changes and a number of researches have been conducted in a manner commensurate with the attention to the climate change. This study is intended to forecast the changes in the flow and water quality of the Nam river resulting from the future climate changes in the Nam river basin using a watershed and water quality model. An SWAT model, as a watershed hydrologic model, was established after estimating a climate scenario using an artificial neural network method, and the established model was verified and adjusted using date from the Ministry of Environment to evaluate the applicability of the model. As a consequence, $R^2$ showed more than 0.7 in the simulation test, which satisfies the minimum required level. Results from the SWAT model and the future Namgang dam discharge calculated by HEC-ResSIM is used as input date for QUALKO. The results showed a huge variation in BOD depending on the annual flow of the river, which recorded a maximum difference of 2 mg/L between a rainy season and a dry season. It can be deduced that because rainfall and the runoff of a basin significantly account for the water quality of a river, higher water concentrations are recorded in a dry season in which the flow is not as much as that in a rainy season. It also can be said that water should be reserved in advance to secure water in the Nam river downstream for a dry season and be controlled in an effective and efficient manner to provide better water quality.

우리나라는 몬순기후의 영향으로 여름철 강우가 집중되기 때문에 작은 기후변화에도 심각한 수자원의 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 이로 인해 기후변화에 대한 많은 관심이 집중되어 그에 따른 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 남강유역에서의 미래 기후변화에 의한 하천의 흐름과 수질변화를 예측하기 위해 유역-하천모형을 연계하여 하고자 하였다. 인공신경망기법을 이용하여 기후시나리오를 예측한 후 유역수문 모형인 SWAT모형을 구축하였고 모형의 적용성 평가를 위해 환경부자료를 이용하여 검보정한 결과 $R^2$이 0.7 이상으로 적정수준으로 모의되었다. SWAT의 결과와 HEC-ResSIM을 이용한 미래 남강댐 방류량을 QUALKO의 입력 자료로 사용하였다. 그 결과 저수기에는 풍수기와는 달리 연도별 유량에 따라 BOD가 많게는 약 2mg/L의 차이를 보이는 등 변화 폭이 크게 나타났다. 강우와 유역의 유출이 하천의 수질에 큰 영향을 끼치기 때문에 풍수기에 비해 유량이 적은 저수기에 수질 농도가 높은 것을 알 수 있다. 그러므로 남강댐의 저수기의 용수확보를 통해 남강하류 하천의 유지용수를 확보하고 효율적인 관리를 통해 향상된 수질을 관리 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
