[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] The Korea Water Resources Corporation, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Environment, and the Korea National Park Service have agreed to strengthen disaster prevention through sharing disaster information.

On the 16th, K-water announced that it signed a business agreement with the Korea National Park Service at the Hangang Basin Headquarters located in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi Province, to share disaster information and cooperate in joint response efforts.

This agreement was promoted to conduct timely disaster warnings and alerts by sharing disaster information managed individually by both organizations, thereby preventing flood disasters in advance and jointly responding to disaster recovery. Additionally, based on the expertise of both organizations, they will cooperate in supporting carbon neutrality policies and joint projects, as well as exchange best practices in management innovation.

Since last year, K-water and the National Park Service have been sharing rainfall information through a joint research agreement in the fields of water gates and forestry, utilizing it in each organization's disaster warning systems. Through this agreement, the two organizations will expand the shared disaster information items to include not only rainfall but also water levels and weather, and strengthen cooperation for joint response in case of disaster occurrence. Moving forward, to ensure stable disaster response and sustainable growth, they plan to expand the scope of cooperation by enhancing not only technical collaboration but also personnel exchanges and communication between the institutions.

Park Jae-hyun, President of K-water, said, "Through this agreement with the Korea National Park Service, a key partner in national water management, we will do our best to protect the precious lives and property of the people with improved disaster response."
