Hampyeong-gun Resolves Flood Damage to Agricultural Land in School District

Selection of New Districts for Drainage Improvement Project... Expectation for Agricultural Environment Enhancement

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Hampyeong-gun school district has been finally confirmed as a new district for the drainage improvement project to resolve farmland flooding damage.

According to the county on the 25th, farmland (178ha) in Wolsan-ri, Sagori, and Wolho-ri areas of Hakgyo-myeon, where flooding damage is repeated every rainy season, has been selected for the drainage improvement project promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.

The drainage improvement project is a project to install agricultural production infrastructure such as drainage pumping stations and drainage channels targeting farmlands that are habitually flooded to prevent crop flooding damage.

The ‘Hakgyo District Drainage Improvement Project’ promoted by the Korea Rural Community Corporation will invest 17.2 billion KRW of national funds to maintain one drainage pumping station, one drainage gate, and irrigation channels.

A county official said, “We will do our best to prevent pre-disaster such as farmland flooding damage and improve the farming environment through this project.”

Meanwhile, Eomda Jedong District was selected as a basic survey target district for the 2022 drainage improvement project, and the basic survey service will begin next month. The county plans to actively work with the Korea Rural Community Corporation to have Jedong District designated as a new start district in 2023.
