Abstract

The objective of this study was to estimate LOADEST (LOAD Estimator) coefficients for simulating pollutant loads in ungauged watersheds. Regression models of LOADEST were used to simulate pollutant loads, and the multiple linear regression (MLR) was used for coefficients estimation on watershed characteristics. The fifth and third model of LOADEST were selected to simulate T-N (Total-Nitrogen) and T-P (Total-Phosphorous) loads, respectively. The results and statistics indicated that regression models based on LOADEST simulated pollutant loads reasonably and model coefficients were reliable. However, the results also indicated that LOADEST underestimated pollutant loads and had a bias. For this reason, simulated loads were corrected the bias by a quantile mapping method in this study. Corrected loads indicated that the bias correction was effective. Using multiple regression analysis, a coefficient estimation methods according to the watershed characteristic were developed. Coefficients which calculated by MLR were used in models. The simulated result and statistics indicated that MLR estimated the model coefficients reasonably. Regression models developed in this study would help simulate pollutant loads for ungauged watersheds and be a screen model for policy decision.

본 연구에서는 미계측 유역에서 오염부하량 모의를 위해 LOADEST (LOAD Estimator) 기반 회귀모형의 최적 매개변수를 추정하고, 다중회귀분석 기법을 이용하여 유역특성에 따른 회귀 모의 모형의 매개변수 추정 방법을 개발하였으며, 개발된 모형의 적용성을 평가하였다. 오염부하량 모의모형으로, T-N (Total-Nitrogen)은 LOADEST의 5번 회귀모형을, T-P (Total-Phosphorous)는 3번 회귀모형을 선택하였다. 모의결과, T-N, T-P 모두 선택된 회귀모형이 실측치를 잘 반영하였으나, 두 물질 모두 오염부하량이 과소 모의되어 실측치와 편의가 발생하는 것으로 나타나, 분위사상법을 이용하여 모의치의 편의보정을 실시하였다. 보정결과, 모형의 정확도는 크게 변하지 않았으나, 오염부하량이 과소 모의 되는 경향이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 회귀모형 매개변수와 유역특성간의 회귀식을 개발하였으며, 개발된 식을 평가한 결과, 실측치를 잘 반영하여 모의할 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 기존 매개변수에 의한 모의치와 유사한 모의능력을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발된 매개변수 추정방법은 실측자료가 확보되지 않은 소유역에 대한 오염부하량 모의와 정책결정을 위한 스크린 모델로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
