As of 3:30 PM that day, the water level of Daecheong Dam was 70.5 meters, approaching the normal full water level of 76.5 meters.


Accordingly, the Daecheong Dam Management Office plans to increase the discharge rate per second to regulate the water level of Daecheong Dam.


However, if the discharge rate per second of Daecheong Dam increases, the water level of the downstream river will rise, requiring caution. The Daecheong Dam Management Office expects that the water level of the downstream river could rise by up to 4.07 meters compared to the current level when the discharge rate is increased.



A representative of the Daecheong Dam Management Office said, “Considering the situation where the river water level rises due to the gate discharge (increase in discharge rate per second), we ask citizens around the downstream river to evacuate to a safe place.”
