하천의 관리를 위하여 수질오염총량 및 물환경기본계획을 수립하여 목표수질을 설정하고 있으며 금호강의 경우 T-P는 목표수질을 달성하고 있으나 BOD, COD, TOC의 경우 지난 5년간 물환경기본계획 목표수질을 초과하였다. 이에 금호강을 대상으로 BOD, COD, TOC를 이용하여 유달부하량 및 유달부하밀도, 오염기여율을 분석하고 수질오염총량관리에서 사용하고 있는 1차원 수질모델인 QUAL-MEV를 활용하여 목표수질 만족을 위한 필요유량을 모의하였다. 유달부하량을 분석한 결과 금호C 지점에서 BOD, COD, TOC 모두 9,832.2 kg/day, 20,656.6 kg/day, 15,545.1 kg/day로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 유달부하밀도는 강우기 및 비강우기에 달서천에서 9.47 kg/day/㎢, 37.55 kg/day/㎢, 30.20 kg/day/㎢ 과 17.19 kg/day/㎢, 47.59 kg/day/㎢, 39.14 kg/day/㎢로 가장 높게 나타났다. 오염기여율은 강우기에 팔거천이 약 25%, 비강우기에 달서천이 모든 항목에서 약 50%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한 금호강 본류 및 지류 유기물질간의 상관관계 분석을 수행한 결과 비강우기, 강우기 모두 COD-TOC가 0.8 이상으로 BOD-COD, BOD-TOC보다 상관관계가 높게 나타났다. 그리고 금호C 지점에서 수질오염총량 및 물환경기본계획 목표수질을 만족하기 위한 유량을 조사한 결과 2019년 4월(3.46 m3/sec)을 기준으로 약 14배, 22배의 추가유량이 필요한 것으로 분석되었다.
For the management of rivers, the target water quality is set by establishing the total amount of water pollution and water environment basic plan. For Geumho river T-P has achieved the target water quality, but for BOD, COD, TOC the target water quality of the water environment basic plan has been exceed for the past five years. Therefore, the flow rate for satisfying the target water quality was simulated by analyzing the load, load density, and pollution contribution rate of the Geumho river using BOD, COD, TOC and by utilizing QUAL-MEV a one-dimensional water quality model. According to the analysis of the load, the BOD, COD and TOC all showed the highest levels at the Geumho C point at 9,832.2 kg/day 20,656.6 kg/day, and 15,545.1 kg/day. The load density was highest at 9.47 kg/day/㎢, 37.55 kg/day/㎢, 30.20 kg/day/㎢, and 17.19 kg/day/ ㎢, 39.14 kg/day/㎢ in Dalseocheon stream during the wet seasons and dry seasons. Pollution contribution rate was highest at about 25 percent for Palgeocheon stream during the wet season and about 50 percent for Dalseocheon stream during the dry season. In addition, the correlation analysis between organic materials showed in the main stream and tributaty of the Geumho river that COD-TOC was 0.8 or higher than BOD-COD and BOD-TOC in both the wet seasons and dry seasons. And after surveying the total amount of water pollution and the target quality of the water environment basic plan at Geumho C, it was analyzed that an additional flow tate of 14 times and 22 times was needed as of April 2019 (3.46 m3/sec).
