Nonpoint source pollution(NSP) arises due to agriculture activity and it is quite an extensive and complicated problem in order to control and has received a great deal of concern during the recent years, whereas point source are known to originate from an estimated volume of contaminant discharged from a distinguishable source. Extensive research work have been conducted and presented in the past with regard to the various characteristics of watershed on Dong Jin River(DJR), however there are certain drawbacks of existing survey for determining important polluting sources, distribution features of pollutants and estimated load of the organic and nutrients from the creeks. Unfortunately, investigation for loadings originating due to agricultural drainage was not satisfactory, although the regional consideration for DJR across Kim Je Field(KJF) as an agricultural area receives a reasonable source point in the agri-pollution management. Therefore it was necessary to carry out a thorough investigation into the diffuse sources resulting, to form the pollution-developing estimation and to evaluate the output roperties and determining various factors in the generation of non-point pollution. Eventually, this research work would serve as an useful tool for the development of predictive pollution management for DJR.
Non-point sources in the present work were classified as municipal non-treated sewage water discharged into the river, loadings through agricultural drainages in the dry/wet field and inadequate treatment of wastewater generated from livestocks. The entire duration of the research work was from December-2001 to July-2002. Site measurement were conducted during various season, in a dry season(December), in rainfall, in seed-sowing time and also collecting data from the rural public organizations related to water management was done and examined and examined during the mid of research work. Similarly, domestic wastewater loadings due to population was based on area unit, as City, Country, Up, Myon, Dong, Ri. The Dong Jin River watershed contains small three Creeks, KoBu(KB), DongJin(DJ, including JeongEup(JE) and ChilBo(CB), WonPyong(WP). It was further divided into 32 sub-watersheds which comprises of further 5,18,9 watersheds in the creeks respectively.
The results obtained from research work are presented as follows. Animal productions have marked differences in the rate of pollutant loadings reported in the following sequence: DJ(only CE)>WP>CB>KB, in a case of Korean cow and milk cow. However, it was revealed that WP creek became significantly higher than any other livestocks. According to statistical data for land use, rice field(369.0㎢) and forest(378㎢) have much occupation prior to dry paddies(125.0㎢), residential land(32.0㎢) and others(5.0㎢). Especially, rice fields receives 2.5∼3 times than dry paddies in size.
