"water" contributes a great deal to human civilizations and industrial development. On other hand, its immensely destructive power threatens our life and seriously ruins many industries.
The highly developed industrial structure has caused pollution and shortage of water.

To meet the needs of times, domestic and abroad, KWRA is incorporated to promote the scientific process of water resources and to lead Government's policy-making for the progress of water resources technology to contribute to national welfare.
