Abstract

In this study, WASP6 was used to predict the water quality of the reservoir and the lake. This can help the managers make the right choice of water quality policy. The results through studying are below. Raw pollutant load caused by the tourists in pollutant load of the study area takes 91.66% and 92.75% in total amount T-N, T-P. It showed high value when compared to raw pollutant load by land and stock farm and it seems that the main contamination is the population of tourists. From the result of the prediction model, BOD will increase about 1.5 times, T-N and T-P will be 1.5 times in 2012. It means that some counter plan is needed to reduce pollutant load. Enviroment grade of Suokjeong reserver is in I~II grade which is in good condition comparatively. However, the water contamination will be in poor as the year passes. when considering T-N T-P, which are the nutrients to control eutrophication, the concentrated administration about contamination sources is in urgent.
