Abstract

In this study, the water quality index was calculated using the water quality monitoring data of the major tributaries of the Nakdong River and long-term trend analysis was performed to identify the tributaries requiring priority management. We used a Real-Time Water Quality Index method implemented by the Ministry of Environment. Linear regression as a parametric method and Mann-Kendall Test and Sen Slope Test as a nonparametric method were applied for the trend analysis. The water quality index of major tributaries except for Migeon2 and Seokyo2 was in the range below Fair grade and there were no significant trends for the rest of the sites except Bukan, Chennae, Hogye, Yongdeok. Therefore, in order to improve the water quality of the main stream, management of the tributaries should be preceded.

본 연구에서는 낙동강 주요 지류지천의 수질 모니터링 자료를 이용하여 수질지수를 산정하고 우선 관리가 필요한 지류지천을 파악하기 위해 장기 경향성 분석을 수행하였다. 환경부에서 시행하고 있는 실시간수질지수 방법을 적용하여 수질지수를 산정하고 모수 통계기법인 선형회귀와 비모수 통계기법인 Mann-Kendall Test와 Sen Slope Test를 적용하여 경향성을 분석하였다. 미전천2, 서교천2 지점을 제외한 주요 지류지천의 수질지수는 Fair 등급 이하의 범위에 있으며 북안천, 천내천, 호계천, 용덕천을 제외한 나머지 지점에 대해서는 유의성을 가진 경향이 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 본류에 대한 수질개선을 위해서는 지류에 대한 관리가 선행되어야 할 것으로 검토되었다.
