Guro-gu, Improvement of Rainwater Pump Station and Flood Information Sharing System

Guro-gu, Enhances Visibility of Rainwater Pump Station Operation Status Website

Establishes Flood Control Information SMS Service for Automatic Alerts on Pump Operation and Water Level Early Warnings

Installed Operation Status Display Boards at 24 Rainwater Pump Stations Last Year

Guro-gu (Mayor Moon Heon-il) has improved the rainwater pump station operation status website and program.

On the 18th, Guro-gu announced, “To provide flood control information to residents in a more understandable way, we have improved the rainwater pump station operation status website, which was previously difficult to navigate due to its complex structure.”

First, a banner on the district office website now links directly to the rainwater pump station operation status website. The homepage displays the real-time operation status of the pump stations at a glance. The number of operating pumps is shown numerically against the total number of pumps, and rainfall amounts as well as water level statuses at Gaebonggyo, Gwanghwagyo, Dorimgyo, and Gocheokgyo bridges can also be viewed.

In the pump station information section, a map of the district shows the number of pumps owned and currently operating at each rainwater and auxiliary pump station, along with operation times. Operating pumps are marked in blue, while stopped pumps are shown in gray. The opening and closing status of sluice gates is also visually represented for easy understanding.

Additionally, the site includes information on how to use pumps, action guidelines during heavy rain, weather information, and banners linked to related organizations such as the Korea Meteorological Administration and the Hangang Flood Control Office at the bottom.

An SMS flood control information service has also been established.

When pumps operate, flood control staff receive automatic text messages with pump operation details and early water level warnings, enabling proactive response.

Last year, Guro-gu installed highly visible display boards at 24 rainwater pump stations to prepare quickly for flood damage. The number of operating pumps is shown, with active pumps highlighted in red for easy recognition.

Furthermore, the management of the floodgate installation at Mokgamcheon Stream was expanded to include local community centers and residents, and the locking devices were improved to be shared with the community offices.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We are also conducting pump operation training sessions at community centers,” adding, “We will do our best to enhance the reliability of flood control operations and prevent flood damage.”
