This study was performed to evaluate the pollutants removal characteristics of two types of RBFs(Riverbank filtration,
Riverbed filtration) intake facilities installed in Nakdong River and in Hwang River respectively. The capacity of each RBF
is 45,000 ㎥/d for riverbank filtration intake facility and 3,500 ㎥/d for riverbed filtration intake facility. According to
data collected in the riverbank filtration site, removal rate of each pollutant was about BOD(Biochemical Oxygen Demand)
52%, TOC(Total Organic Carbon) 57%, SS(Suspended Solids) 44%, Total coliforms 99% correspondingly. Furthermore,
Microcystins(-LR,-YR,-RR) were not found in riverbank filtered water compared to surface water in Nakdong River.
