합천호 상류수계의 수질인자간 상관관계에 관한 고찰

Abstract

In this study, we have investigated the water quality and flow rate at the 3 sites of main stream and 11 sites of the branch stream of Hwang River from January, 2007 to 2010, and analyzed the effects on Hwang River with the purpose of using the data for as the fundamental information for water quality improvement and water resource management in the water system of Hap-Cheon Lake Upper Stream. The flow rate at 3 sites of the main stream and 11 sites of the branch stream increased during the rainy season between June and September, and continuously decreased during the dry season starting from autumn to winter. The results of correlation analysis with Pearson correlation coefficient showed that BOD5 and CODMn, BOD5 and T-P, and CODMn and TSS at the 3 sites of the main stream had high correlation with each other. We have also analyzed the correlation between Chl-a and major factors at the 3 sites of the main stream. Chl-a and the water temperature Negative correlation coefficient and that of Chl-a and BOD5, CODMn Positive correlation coefficient showed. The N/P ratio at all the 3 sites of the main stream was higher than 16 by DIN/DIP and T-N/T-P, indicating that phosphorus is acting as the limited nutrient.
