[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] The Daegu Regional Environmental Office downgraded the algal bloom warning issued at Nakdong River Gangjeong Goryeongbo (Gangjeong Goryeong point) from the ‘Alert’ level to the ‘Attention’ level as of 3 p.m. on the 28th.

Since the ‘Alert’ level was issued on the 23rd of last month, the warning level was lowered after measurements fell below the ‘Alert’ criteria twice in a row over the course of about a month.

Accordingly, the Daegu Environmental Office promptly communicated the algal bloom warning status to related agencies and requested that each agency continue to carry out their roles, such as inspecting pollution sources and strengthening water purification treatment, as the ‘Attention’ level is maintained.

Choi Jong-won, head of the Daegu Regional Environmental Office, said, “Although Gangjeong Goryeongbo has been downgraded to the ‘Attention’ level, we will not let our guard down and will do our best to cooperate with related agencies to ensure that safe tap water is supplied to citizens.”
