According to the Jeonnam Regional Headquarters of the Korea Rural Community Corporation on that day, the drainage improvement project in Jungpo District, Naju is aimed at preventing flood damage during the rainy season and creating a safe farming environment by constructing new drainage stations and maintaining drainage channels for four villages including Jungpo-ri, Gongsan-myeon, Naju-si, covering 151 hectares, which have been suffering from frequent flood damage.

Standing Auditor Lee Kwang-rae said, “As the frequency of localized heavy rains has recently increased, the importance of drainage improvement projects is growing even more,” and urged the field officials, “Please do your best to ensure a solid construction site by thoroughly adhering to integrity and safety throughout the corporation with the mindset of protecting my family and my property from natural disasters.”

Meanwhile, the Jeonnam Regional Headquarters of the Korea Rural Community Corporation plans to implement 42 drainage improvement projects this year and invest 59.4 billion KRW in national funds.

The Jeonnam Regional Headquarters plans to continuously discover new districts for drainage improvement projects to completely eliminate the risk of frequent flood damage in Jeonnam and actively resolve the farming difficulties of local farmers by perfectly establishing disaster prevention facilities such as drainage channels and drainage stations through solid construction.
