Hwasun-gun Launches 'Water Conservation Campaign'

Traditional Market Merchants Join Efforts Amid Drought Crisis

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Chunsu Kim] On the 13th, Hwasun-gun, Jeonnam announced on the 14th that it conducted a water conservation promotion campaign around the Hwasun Dolmen Traditional Market.

This campaign was carried out together with Hwasun-gun and the Dongbok Dam Residents Association to raise awareness of the severity of drought and the importance of practicing water conservation in daily life.

Currently, the water supply rate in Hwasun-gun is 93.1% from local and metropolitan waterworks, 6.8% from small-scale water facilities, and 0.1% from private wells.

The dam reservoir rates of raw water for metropolitan waterworks (Jumam Dam 28.7%, Dongbok Dam 24.6%) are low, so if the drought continues, water supply restrictions and cutoffs are expected to be unavoidable.

Therefore, to overcome the ongoing drought, Hwasun-gun encouraged residents to actively participate in water conservation practices such as ▲adjusting water pressure valves ▲placing water bottles in toilet tanks ▲reducing shower time by half ▲using a cup when brushing teeth ▲washing laundry all at once ▲using a dishpan.

A county official said, “To overcome the drought, administrative efforts are important, but above all, the participation of residents is crucial. We ask all residents to unite and actively participate and show interest in water conservation.”
