Abstract Pollution potential of bottom mud on overlying water quality at a site of Gongjichon area in Lake Uiam is investigated. The bottom mud is classified as bioturbated layer, sand layer, and reduced layer by texture, color, and organic activity. The bottom mud has high organic carbon content, low C/N ratio in bioturbated layer, little organic carbon content in sand layer, and moderate organic carbon content, high C/N ratio in reduced layer. This shows that fresh organic matter is accumulated in the bioturbated surface layer, and degradation of organic matter is more complete in the deeper part of the mud, and bioturbated layer has high pollution potential on overlying water.
