The ‘Wando-gun Bogil (Nohwa) Water Supply Area Emergency Supply Network Construction Project’ will invest a total of 67.9 billion KRW to provide a stable water supply to the drought-prone areas of Bogil and Nohwado.

The project involves installing facilities with a capacity of 1,000 m³/day, including a 31.8 km water supply pipeline from the Haenam branch point of the wide-area water supply system to Nohwa-eup (21.9 km land pipeline, 9.9 km underwater pipeline), one water storage tank, and two pumping stations.

The basic and detailed design will be carried out this year, with project completion scheduled for 2027. Wando-gun will provide administrative support such as permits necessary for project promotion, while Korea Water Resources Corporation will proceed with design and construction.

A county official stated, “By supplying the wide-area water supply through the underwater pipeline, it is expected that the fundamental issues of water supply in island areas caused by drought and water shortages will be resolved,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure the project starts early and proceeds without any setbacks.”
