Both calcium and magnesium are essential to human health. Individuals vary considerably in their needs for and consumption of these elements. Available evidence suggests that, because of food habits, many people in most countries fail to obtain from their diets the recommended intakes of one or both of these nutrients. While the concentration of calcium and magnesium in drinking-water vary markedly from one supply to another, mineral-rich drinking water may provide substantial contribution to total intakes of these nutrients in some populations or population subgroups. It is important to reduce public distrust in water quality and to provide the public with nutrient information in drinking water as a water supplier. The purpose of the present study is to predict the concentration of nutrients in the water-supply system by using the Korean Standard Reference data, especially calcium and magnesium. In this study, 4 year records (from 2016 to 2019) of nutrient concentrations are applied to show the temporal trends on the 3 different drinking-water supply systems in Geum, Nakdong and Han rivers. Calcium and magnesium concentrations ranges from 13.7 to 41.7 mg/L and from 2.6 to 7.5 mg/L, respectively. Based on the result of the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model the nutrient concentrations are expected to continue to rise by about 2.3% decrease. The present study develops techniques for predicting the changes of nutrient concentrations on three different water-supply systems. |
