Theexport pattern of non-point source (NPS) pollutants was studied in an agricultural watershed, with ammed three streams, of Lake Sihwa in Korea. Seasonal variations of rainfall, flow rate, and NPS pollutants (SS,COD, nitrogen, phosphorus) were surveyed at the stream mouth that three streams meet the lake, including extensive sampling during storm events.Most of the rainfall during the study period was concentrated during heavy showers from June to August. Inflows responded quickly to these short-term rainfall events, but no increases in flow rate were observed unless rainfall amounts exceeded about 50. This is because the sluice gates of weirs installed in streamsonly operate during the heavy rains of>50 mm/d.Concentrations of NPS pollutants,with exception of nitrogen, corresponded closely with variations in flow rate. Consequently, much of the NPS pollutants that accumulated in the watershedduring the dry season were exported during the heavy showers. This result indicates that the presence of weirs for agricultural water can play a role as a factor affecting on the export pattern of NPSin agricultural watershed. |
