Abstract
Groundwater from public wells was monitored during one year with two month interval for hydrogeochemical parameters and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as environmental tracers in Jeju Island. Concentrations of major cations and $SiO_2$ show variation less than 10% whereas $NO_3$ and dissolved oxygen (DO) showed larger variation though DO variation did not change oxic or suboxic condition. $NO_3$ concentration has no consistent seasonal pattern with the largest variation of 35%. Groundwater ages determined by CFCs became temporarily younger by 5 years in October for groundwater with ages of 15 to 25 years, which can be attributed to infiltrating water in rainy season. Compared to air temperature, groundwater temperature has much smaller variation with no phase difference, which can be accounted for by a two-component model consisting of infiltrating water from surface and deeper groundwater with negligible temperature variation. The relatively small variation in groundwater age and temperature indicates that groundwater recharge through fast flow-paths is much smaller compared with basal groundwater in terms of aquifer storage.

제주도의 관정 지하수에 대해 2개월 간격으로 1년 동안 수행한 주기 조사에서 주요 양이온, $SiO_2$ 등은 10% 이내의 변동폭을 보여 계절적인 수질 변화가 크지 않음을 지시하였지만, $NO_3$, 용존 산소 (DO) 등은 비교적 큰 변동을 보였다. DO 변동 수준은 산화-환원 환경이 변화하는 수준은 아니었다. $NO_3$는 동일한 계절적인 변동 경향을 보여주지는 않지만 상당수 관정에서 10% 이상(최대 35%)의 변동폭을 보였다. CFCs를 이용하여 결정한 지하수 연령은 15-25년 내외의 연령을 가지는 지하수 관정들에서 10월에 일시적으로 5년 정도 감소하는 경향을 보이는데, 이는 여름 철 강수에 의해 함양되는 지하수가 기저 지하수에 지연되어 도달하여 기저 지하수의 연령을 감소시키기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 기온과 비교하여 변동폭은 월등히 작지만 위상차가 없는 지하수 온도 변동 특성은 강수에서 유래되는 유입수에 의해 온도 변화가 거의 없는 기저 지하수가 함양되는 모형으로 설명될 수 있다. 지하수의 CFC 연령과 지하수 온도의 비교적 작은 연간 변동폭은 대수층 저류량 면에서 빠른 경로를 통해 유입되는 지하수 함양이 기저 지하수에서 차지하는 비중이 작음을 지시한다.
