Mokpo City, Let's Overcome Water Shortage by Saving Water in Daily Life

20% Savings Participation Campaign Launched... Guidance on Using Toothbrush Cups and Reducing Shower Time

[Mokpo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Hyeong-seok] Mokpo City in Jeollanam-do conducted the ‘20% Participation Campaign for Water Conservation in Daily Life’ at Peace Square on the 24th, together with Jeollanam-do, to raise awareness of the severity of water shortages due to prolonged drought conditions.

This campaign was carried out with the participation of Mokpo City and the local autonomous disaster prevention group to highlight the seriousness of the drought and to foster a social atmosphere where practicing water conservation in daily life leads to a reduction in water usage.

The city distributed leaflets guiding water-saving practices such as ▲using a cup for brushing teeth ▲reducing shower time ▲adjusting faucet water pressure ▲doing laundry in batches ▲placing water bottles in toilet tanks ▲collecting water for dishwashing.

Additionally, they visited facilities that use a lot of water, such as swimming pools, bathhouses, and restaurants, to emphasize the severity of the drought and requested cooperation in water conservation measures, including adjusting business hours.

The city plans to continuously monitor the situation by organizing and operating the ‘Mokpo City Drought Countermeasures Headquarters’ until the drought ends.

A city official stated, “The water storage rate of Juwam Dam, the water source, is only 31.3%, so Mokpo is also experiencing water shortages,” adding, “To minimize damage caused by the prolonged drought, a culture of water conservation in daily life must be established. We earnestly ask for the active participation of all citizens.”
