[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is strengthening forest pest monitoring activities using drones.


On the 5th, Suwon City announced that on the 4th, it conducted forest pest monitoring activities using drones in the area of Hagwanggyo Reservoir in Gwanggyosan (1-6 Hagwanggyo-dong, Jangan-gu).


As sudden outbreaks of pests surged due to heatwaves and monsoon rains, the city utilized drones for forest pest monitoring for the first time this year.


The first monitoring took place from 3:00 PM for 30 minutes from Hagwanggyo Reservoir towards Hyeongjebong, and the second from 3:30 PM for 30 minutes from Hagwanggyo Reservoir towards Suwoncheon.



An official from the city stated, "Since it is difficult for the monitoring and control team to directly manage wide and dangerous areas, the use of drones in forests is increasing," adding, "We will actively adopt smart forest technologies to efficiently manage forest pests."
