In particular, drones are being used to monitor the entire water source protection area where illegal activities frequently occur, and speakers are installed within the area to respond immediately through broadcasts in case of illegal activities.

The county plans to prevent acts that can cause water source pollution in advance, such as dumping trash along the riverbank, outdoor cooking, and raising livestock.

Along with this, maintenance of existing facilities such as water source protection area signboards and markers is also underway to provide guidance and raise awareness about the water source protection area.

A county official said, "Water source pollution acts are equivalent to threatening the lives of residents," and added, "We ask for special attention to ensure no illegal activities occur within the water source protection area."

Meanwhile, attention is also being paid to preventing safety accidents, such as posting warning banners at past water play accident sites within the water source protection area.
