[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Jeju Development Corporation, which produces and sells Jeju Samdasoo, announced on the 4th that it will hold 'The 12th Jeju Water World Forum' over two days starting from the 6th at the Grand Ballroom of Haevichi Hotel in Jeju.

The Jeju Water World Forum was established in 2009 to foster the water industry. It is an academic event where global scholars and domestic experts discuss the excellence of Jeju groundwater. The forum has evolved beyond highlighting the value of Jeju groundwater to raising awareness about the importance of groundwater conservation and management, as well as discussing sustainable management systems for limited water resources and related research. The forum is co-hosted by Jeju Special Self-Governing Province and Jeju Development Corporation, with support from the Ministry of Environment, UNESCO, the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH), and the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources.

This forum is significant as it is held for the first time in three years since COVID-19, at a time when the domestic bottled water market is expected to reach 2 trillion won, increasing the industrial value and emphasizing the importance of groundwater conservation and management. The forum will be held under the theme "Groundwater, Containing Value Beyond Water." It will include presentations on Jeju's groundwater conservation and management policies, global efforts to solve groundwater issues, and conservation and management efforts in various European countries.

Kim Jeong-hak, President of Jeju Development Corporation, said, "The reason for a company's existence is not only profit pursuit but also actively addressing social issues," adding, "We hope that through this Jeju Water World Forum, advanced research and many bottled water-related companies will take an interest in groundwater conservation and management."
