Muan-gun Prevents Flooding with Proactive Small Stream Dredging Operations

Securing Flow Cross-Section of Yanggancheon upon Removal of Frequent Flooding Area Designation

[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan County in Jeonnam has completed dredging sediment in Yanggancheon (a local stream) in Haeje-myeon, a frequently flooded area, providing a pleasant environment for local residents.

If sediment deposited in the stream is not dredged in a timely manner, it can obstruct the flow of the stream, cause environmental pollution, and lead to flooding during heavy rains.

The county completed sediment dredging over a total 3km section from Go-eupcheon and Eungyangcheon, small streams in the upper reaches of Yanggancheon passing through the urban area of Haeje-myeon, to the downstream, securing the cross-sectional flow area.

County Governor Kim San said, "Through this sediment dredging work, we have improved the stream environment and restored a pleasant Yanggancheon for residents," adding, "We will do our best to prevent various disasters caused by climate change such as droughts and floods."
