[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th that from this month, it will promote 20 projects including the purchase of village-shared agricultural machinery as part of the '2020 Water Source Management Area Resident Support Project.'

The Water Source Management Area Resident Support Project is implemented to improve the living environment of residents in the designated water source areas who suffer disadvantages due to strengthened environmental regulations and various activity restrictions, and to preserve the water quality of the water source.

The target areas for the project are parts of the water source zones, including 26 villages in 2 eup/myeon: Yeongam-eup and Geumjeong-myeon.

Yeongam-gun received 400 million KRW in support from the Yeongsan River Basin Management Committee and is promoting projects in four areas: income increase, welfare enhancement, education projects, and pollutant purification. Each project was finally selected by the eup/myeon offices after gathering residents' opinions and considering the purpose and efficiency of the projects.

The project details include 100 million KRW for three income increase projects such as the purchase of village-shared agricultural machinery, 200 million KRW for 16 welfare enhancement projects such as installation of shared facility restrooms, and 100 million KRW for direct support projects such as household living expense assistance.

An official from Yeongam-gun stated, "The 2020 Resident Support Project plan was finally approved by the Yeongsan River Basin Management Committee at the end of last month," and added, "We will strive to improve the living environment of residents in the water source management area through smooth project implementation."
