Buan-gun Adds 5 Additional Wells to Groundwater Auxiliary Monitoring Network

[Buan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Tae-in] On the 7th, Buan-gun, Jeonbuk announced that it will additionally install auxiliary groundwater monitoring networks in four myeon areas where such networks have not been installed to continuously manage groundwater quality and water level changes, and in five myeon areas including Jinseo-myeon to monitor seawater intrusion into groundwater wells.

The auxiliary groundwater monitoring network is a device used not only to manage changes in surrounding groundwater levels but also to detect groundwater issues such as land subsidence, depletion of water sources, and water pollution in advance. It is utilized for data acquisition to enable rational use and systematic management of groundwater resources.

Additionally, it allows real-time monitoring of changes in groundwater parameters such as water level, temperature, and electrical conductivity, enabling more proactive responses to potential groundwater problems such as water pollution in the future.

Since 2017, the county has installed and operated eight auxiliary groundwater monitoring networks. According to the Jeonbuk Province groundwater management plan, five more will be installed this year, with continuous installation efforts every year, aiming to install a total of 77 auxiliary monitoring networks throughout the county.

An official from the county's Waterworks and Sewerage Office stated, “Groundwater is a precious resource that must be passed on to future generations. Facilities where groundwater use has ended will be promptly decommissioned and restored to their original state, with thorough guidance and management. We will do our best to ensure the sound preservation and management of groundwater resources going forward.”
