This drainage improvement project will involve a total budget of 32.8 billion KRW, fully funded by the national government.

The Mireok Dogae (Deokrim, Banryong) district, where the drainage improvement project will be implemented, plans to complete administrative procedures such as detailed design by the end of this year.

An investment of 9.8 billion KRW will be made in the beneficiary farmland (75ha) for projects including drainage pump stations, drainage channel installation, and land reclamation.

The Mireok Dogae (Deokrim, Banryong) district is a lowland area adjacent to the Boseong River that suffers flooding damage every year during heavy rains, making the drainage improvement project an urgent matter and a long-standing wish of local residents.

The Joseong Deoksan district, selected as a ‘basic survey district for drainage improvement projects,’ is reclaimed farmland that has repeatedly experienced flooding damage, causing difficulties in agriculture.

The beneficiary farmland totals 237ha, and a budget of 23 billion KRW will be invested to carry out flood prevention projects for lowland farmland.

Boseong-gun has continuously made efforts, including proposals to Jeollanam-do and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, to alleviate farmers’ difficulties caused by farmland flooding during the rainy season and natural disasters.

Additionally, Boseong-gun has been recognized as an excellent institution in disaster management evaluation by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for three consecutive years and has received the Dasan Safety Award from Jeollanam-do, leading the way in disaster response and safety infrastructure development as a model local government.
