Radon variability between upstream and downstream in two catchments
Abstract
This study was conducted to reveal the characteristics of temporal and spatial radon variations in upstream and downstream areas and evaluated interaction between groundwater and stream water by comparing radon concentrations in two catchments. For this purpose, we collected the data of radon concentrations and field parameters (pH, EC, DO and ORP). The studied streams are located in the middle-east region of the country where are parts of Chuncheon and Inje, Gangwon Province. Generally, radon concentrations were higher in groundwater than stream water. Therefore, when groundwater flowed into the stream water, radon concentration of stream water was higher than when stream water flowed into groundwater. This research was supported by Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Science, ICT & Future Planning (No. NRF-2015R1A4A1041105).
