Abstract

Recently, due to the increase in abnormal climate, rainfall intensity is increasing and drought periods are continuing. These environmental changes lead to prolonged drought conditions and difficulties in real-time recognition. In general, drought can be judged by the amount of precipitation and the number of days without rainfall. In determining the impact of drought, it is divided into meteorological drought, agricultural drought, and hydrological drought and evaluation is made using the drought index, but environmental drought evaluation is insufficient. The river water quality managed through the total water pollution cap system is vulnerable to the effects of such drought. In this study, we aim to determine the drought impact on river water quality and quantify the impact of prolonged drought on water quality. The impact of rain-free days and accumulated precipitation on river water quality was quantitatively evaluated. The Load Duration Curve (LDC), which is used to evaluate the water quality of rivers, was used to evaluate water pollution occurring at specific times. It has been observed that when the number of consecutive rainless days exceeds 14 days, the target water quality in the mid-basin is exceeded in over 60% of cases. The cumulative rainfall is set at 28 days as the criteria, with an annual average rainfall of 3%, which is 32.1 mm or less. It has been noted that changes in water quality in rivers occur when there are 14 or more rainless days and the cumulative rainfall over 28 days is 32.1 mm or less in the Gamcheon Mid-basin. Based on the results of this study, it aims to quantify the drought impact and contribute to the development of a drought water quality index for future environmental droughts.

최근 이상기후의 증가로 강우강도가 높아지고 가뭄시기가 지속되는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 이러한 환경의 변화는 가뭄 현상의 장기화, 실시간 인지의 어려움이 있다. 일반적으로 가뭄은 강수량, 무강우지속일수 등 으로 판단할수 있다. 가뭄의 영향을 판단하는데 있어 기상학적 가뭄, 농업적 가뭄, 수문학적 가뭄으로 구분되어 가뭄지수를 활용한 평가가 이루어지고 있으나 환경가뭄 평가에 대해서는 미비한 실정이다. 수질오염총량제를 통해 관리되어지고 있는 하천 수질은 이러한 가뭄의 영향을 대비하는데 취약한 부분이 있다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄이 하천 수질에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 가뭄의 지속이 수질에 미치는 가뭄영향을 정량화 하고자한다. 무강우일수, 누적강수량이 하천 수질에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 하천의 수질을 평가하는데 활용되는 부하지속곡선(Load Duration Curve, LDC)를 활용하여 특정 시기에 발생하는 수질오염을 평가하였다. 감천중권역에서는 무강우일수가 14일 이상 지속되는 경우 중권역 목표수질을 초과하는 경우가 60%이상으로 나타났다. 누적강우량은 28일을 기준으로 설정하였을때 연간 평균강수량의 3%인 32.1 mm 이하인 경우에 하천에서의 수질변화가 나타났다. 감천 중권역에서는 무강우일수 14일, 28일간 누적강우량이 32.1 mm 이하를 기준으로 기상학적 영향이 목표수질 초과에 영향을 미친다고 판단하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 가뭄영향을 정량화하고 향후 환경가뭄에서의 수질환경 가뭄지수 개발에 기여하고자 한다.
