Abstract

In order to analyze the contamination level of sediment samples taken from Chusori and Chudong areas in Daechung Reservoir, the particle size and concentrations of organics and nutrients were analyzed and phosphorus fractionation analysis was conducted. The average fraction of silt-sized particles was 92% in the sediments taken from Chudong area and Chusori area at the site adjacent to main current, which was higher than that from the upper Chusori area. The concentrations of total phosphorus in the sediments at Chusori and Chudong area were 999 (${\pm}98$) and 1,123 (${\pm}119$) mg/kg sediment, respectively. The fractions of autochthonous phosphorus, which can be readily eluted by change of environmental conditions, were much higher than those of allochthonous phosphorus, indicating the internal load can contribute the eutrophication in these areas. The concentrations of total nitrogen were over 5,600 mg/kg sediment in all samples, which is the guideline of Contamination Assessment of River and Lake Sediments of the Ministry of Environment, indicating the contamination level of total nitrogen is serious in the sediments. It is concluded that the countermeasures to manage the quality of sediments are required to improve the water quality in the Daechung Reservoir.

대청호의 추소수역과 추동수역에서 채취한 퇴적물의 오염도를 평가하기 위하여, 퇴적물의 입도, 유기물 및 영양염류의 농도와 인의 성상별 분석을 수행하였다. 소옥천의 영향을 받는 추소수역의 상류에 비해 추소수역에서 본류로 유입되는 지점과 추동수역의 퇴적물에서 실트 크기 입자의 평균 비율이 92%로 매우 높았다. 추소수역과 추동수역에서 퇴적물 중 총인의 농도는 각각 999 (${\pm}98$)과 1,123 (${\pm}119$) mg/kg sediment로 추동수역에서 상대적으로 높았다. 퇴적물 중 인의 성상분석 결과 외부 기원성 인보다 환경 조건 변화에 의해 쉽게 용출이 되는 것으로 알려진 내부 기원성 인의 비율이 높게 측정되어 이들 지점의 부영양화에 내부부하가 중요한 것으로 판단되었다. 퇴적물 중 총질소의 농도는 모든 시료에서 환경부의 하천 호소 퇴적물 오염평가 기준인 5,600 mg/kg sediment를 초과하여, 퇴적물의 총질소 오염도가 심각한 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 결과로부터 대청호의 수질 개선을 위해 퇴적물에 대한 관리 대책이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
