ABSTRACT

This study aims to quantitatively analyze the characteristics of pollutant loads in theupstream region of the Namgang Reservoir using integrated water quantity and quality monitoringdata. Automatic measurement equipment was installed at key tributaries to collect hourly data ondischarge and total phosphorus (T-P) concentrations. Based on the collected data from 2023 to 2024,daily average pollutant loads were calculated. The results revealed a clear trend of higher pollutantloading during the summer and flood seasons, with the Imcheon site showing the highest loadingand delivery rate. Non-point sources accounted for approximately 85% of the total pollutant loads, emphasizing the need for effective land use and livestock waste management in the watershed. Additionally, a Load Duration Curve (LDC) analysis identified specific flow ranges and periods whenwater quality standards were exceeded. These findings provide critical baseline data for scientificwater quality management and the development of pollution reduction policies in the Namgangwatershed.
