Continuous Efforts towards Water Resources Development
Continuous Exforts towards Water Resources Development
• Dam construction to prevent frequent flood damage and for a stable water supply
Ongoing construction of multi-purpose dams until 2011 to mitigate frequent flood damage and ensure a stable water supply.
Targeting the construction of eco-friendly dams and implementing projects to enhance the welfare and income of communities residing around dam areas.
• Infrastructure Expansion:
Expansion of multi-regional water supply systems: During the 1994-1996 droughts, areas covered by these systems remained unaffected, highlighting their effectiveness against severe drought.
Completion of 18 new multi-regional water supply systems by 1999.
Continuous construction of over 29 additional multi-regional water supply systems by 2011, extending coverage from 35% to 65% of urban and rural areas.
Exploring alternatives to address water shortages in the 21st century.
Extensive research for effective water resource management.
Effective Flood Management
• Infrastructure Preparation
xpansion of channel improvement from 61% to 77% by 2001.
Ongoing construction of multipurpose reservoirs to bolster flood control capacity.
Maintaining and expanding city drainage facilities.
• Information Preparation
Enhancement of early flood forecasting systems for five major rivers, including the Han River, and extension to mid and small-sized rivers.
Integration of early flood forecasting systems using Remote Sensing/GIS for improved efficiency.
Regulating land use in potential flood-prone areas.
