The Gangnam District refers to the point where Jujincheon and Gangnamcheon merge (106.7 hectares). The area of influence includes four villages in Asan-myeon (Daedong, Jujin, Mokdong, Namsan-ri) and the Mokuri area in Mujang-myeon.

In this area, three drainage gates will be newly installed and expanded, 4.6 km of drainage channels will be constructed, and the land will be raised over 9.8 hectares. The total project cost is 9.853 billion KRW (national funds).

The county will begin consultations with the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry regarding the approval of the implementation plan starting next month. Construction is scheduled to be ordered by April, and efforts will be made to complete the project as soon as possible.

The residents' briefing session was attended by Na Cheolju, Director of Construction and Urban Affairs of Gochang-gun, Kim Wancheol, Head of Asan-myeon, village chiefs, and local residents, showing high interest.

A county official said, “We will actively reflect the residents' opinions in the implementation plan for the Gangnam District Drainage Improvement Project,” and added, “We will do our best to prevent disasters caused by recent abnormal weather and to promote a safe farming environment.”
